CUNNING

Almost always when you meet a fox in the woods he pretends not

to see you, but changes his course casually, as if, perhaps,

he had just heard a mouse over there among the stumps. He does

not increase his speed in the slightest degree until he is

behind some tree or rock; then away he goes at a tremendous

rate, always keeping the tree between you and himself until well

out of gunshot.--WITMER STONE and WILLIAM EVERETT

CRAM, “American Animals.”
