with cruel sportsman over on the
Delaware river one day last fall" said
Scranton bird shooter the other day.
The man owned splendid pointer
that knew good deal more about some
things than his master did. and We
were both shooting quails over him
along the banks of the river. He was
harsh with the dog. and the poor Great
ure was often compelled 10 do what he
knew TO be senseless things. just be-
cause he felt certain that he would be
licked like the mischief il he didn't
obey. Each side Of the river was frozen
over out 90 the main channel. where
there was strip about foot wide that
wasn't covered with ice. One OF the
quail that shot started 10 fly across
the river, and dropped dead on the
thin ice within few inches Of the open
channel. Ny companion ordered the
pointer to 60 and get 1t. and the obedi-
ent dog dashed out upon the ice until
IL got within couple of yards or so OF
the dead bird. when he halted. for the
ice had begun 10 crack under him.
Then he looked back at his master and
wagged his tail, and his actions told US
as plain as words that he knew il
would be dangerous for him TO proceed
any further. begged the man to call
the dog back and let the mlnks have
the quail but he wouldn't listen TO me.
Again he ordered the dog to fetch the
quail in. and again. the dog made an
effort 10 reach IT, but the ice cracked
and he turned about, whined piteously.
and In every way that he knew how
begged his master 10 call him back.
But the heartless man was determined
TO make the dog do AS he said. and no
yelled savagely at the pointer to get the
dead bird. Then the dog sprang for
ward and seized the quail. The Ice
gave way under him. the current was
swift. and out Of sight the poor thing
went. with the bird ia his mouth. That

duty. The man was sorry then. OF

To 1t More Than to Any Thing Else Was
Due the Poets Success.
The energy of action in Browning's
work has also counted for much in the
appeal to his contemporaries. Energy

markable for its vigor, in ceaseless un
rest, seeking outlets for its life in every
direction, excited by it's more constant
and direct consciousness of its daily life

acquainted with the history of the past,

vitality and seems to prize it for its own
sake breathes the air of the times. 1t
is said that the purest artistic pleasure
lies in contemplation in action there is
pleasure of another kind, more strenu-
Gus. A poet who sets forth the en-
ergy of life appeals to this latter
sensibility, aroused through sympathy
with the doing of deed, rather
than to the former, which involves
disinterestedness and Encouragement
of the mind. Browning himself,
in many exculpatory verses, sets
forth his claim to the virtue of strength:
he is ever praising force for its own
sake, in the vein of Carlyle; he likes &c
exhibit it in others at its highest pitch.
Our own age sympathizes with this
spirit, and finds it more native to itself
than the mood of contemplation, which
is the condition of a more ideal art.
Browning, however, had reinforced even
this powerful attraction by presenting
life, not only with great vital force, but
upon the broadcast scale. He works in
the whole field of history, brings his
reading in forgotten books to bear, and
crowds the stage with a marvelously
diverse gathering of great and obscure
men, of artists and musicians. of Jew.
Arab and Greek, of real and imaginary
characters; and thus he has satisfied the
intelligent curiosity Of his readers. play
ing on the past of the races history, and
seeking to reconstruct it. He has dealt
with the life of man in this varied way,
in all ages, in all moods of the mind.
and has added to his observation mass
of reflection which keeps curiosity itself
alive and supports it. He is possibly as
much obliged to the intellect of his
readers, to their appetite for knowl-
edge, as to their poetical sense, ia q
