SHARP-WITTED COYOTES.
How Tw» of Them Tire Out a Jack
Rabbit.
The coyote is a more intelligent
-harp-witted beast than his big cous-
in, the gray wolf. It is stated by re-
.able eye-witnesses that the coyote,
in order to secure a dinner of Jack
rabbit, and probably reasoning that ■
one rabbit will make a meal for two
wolves, enters into an arrangement
with a brother coyote to join him in
the hunt.
No wolf can singly run down a jack
rabbit, and if the latter should run in
E straight course no number of wolves
ould possibly catch it; but the rab-
bit nearly always runs in a wide cir-
■le, because it is its nature to return
to its native slope or pasture. Ac-
ordingly one of the two coyotes hides
imself near the spot where the chase
begins, while the other pursues the
rabbit at the top of his speed. Away
they go, the rabbit gradually curving
: is course and finally coming back to
the starting point, says the Philadel-
phia Times.
Now the tired coyote rests, and the
< sh one springs out of hiding and
takes his turn at swinging around the
circle. If the rabbit has wind enough
to outrun the second wolf, the first
one takes another round, which is
. sually enough to wear out poor jack,
and the coyotes have earned their
dinner. It has been known to hap-
pen, though rarely, that the rabbit
lias left his circle and made a long,
straight run, whereby the pursuers
••get left.”
But you must not infer from what
has been said tha: the coyote is a slow
runner; on the contrary, no dog ex-
cept the greyhound and the famous
Russian wolf hound can outrun him.
Even after overtaking him no single
dog could master the wolf, whose
agility and fighting qualities are bo
well developed that the dog would
soon retreat from the contsst. I have
