Five
hundred
little
boxes
with
five
hundred
bright-eyed
Jack-rabbits
were
put
on
the
train
that
day,
and
among
them
was
Little
Jack
Warhorse.
V
Rabbits
take
their
troubles
lightly,
and
it
is
not
to
be
supposed
that
any
great
terror
was
felt
by
the
boxed
Jacks,
once
the
uproar
of
the
massacre
was
over;
and
when
they
reached
the
Coursing
Park
near
the
great
city
and
were
turned
out
one
by
one,
very
gently,--yes,
gently;
the
Roman
guards
were
careful
of
their
prisoners,
being
responsible
for
them,--the
Jacks
found
little
to
complain
of,
a
big
inclosure
with
plenty
of
good
food,
and
no
enemies
to
annoy
them.
The
very
next
morning
their
training
began.
A
score
of
hatchways
were
opened
into
a
much
larger
field--the
Park.
After
a
number
of
Jacks
had
wandered
out
through
these
doors
a
rabble
of
boys
appeared
and
drove
them
back,
pursuing
them
noisily
until
all
were
again
in
the
smaller
field,
called
the
Haven.
A
few
days
of
this
taught
the
Jack-rabbits
that
when
pursued
their
safety
was
to
get
back
by
one
of
the
hatches
into
the
Haven.
Now
the
second
lesson
began.
The
whole
band
were
driven
out
of
a
side
door
into
a
long
lane
which
led
around
three
sides
of
the
Park
to
another
inclosure
at
the
far
end.
This
was
the
Starting
Pen.
Its
door
into
the
arena--that
is,
the
Park--was
opened,
the
Rabbits
driven
forth,
and
then
a
mob
of
boys
and
Dogs
in
hiding,
burst
forth
and
pursued
them
across
the
open.
The
whole
army
went
bobbing
and
bounding
away,
some
of
the
younger
ones
soaring
in
a
spy-hop,
as
a
matter
of
habit;
but
low
skimming
ahead
of
them
all
was
a
gorgeous
black-and-white
one;
clean-limbed
and
bright-eyed,
he
had
attracted
attention
in
the
pen,
but
now
in
the
field
he
led
the
band
with
easy
lope
that
put
him
as
far
ahead
of
them
all
as
they
were
ahead
of
the
rabble
of
common
Dogs.
