DELIGHTFUL NEW SPORT.
1t II Found in Shooting birds
Not with a Gun, But with
n Camera. .

Of the many delightful birds have
had the good fortune to know, the
worm-eating warbler family have af-
forded me the greatest pleasure. for
they become absolutely fearless of the
camera, and they place degree of
was delightful. Being anxious to Sc
cure photographs of the young, I
paid frequent visits to the nest, and
what a wonderfully: concealed nest it
was,. tucked away in a. small depres-
sion and hidden by the roots of an oak
sapling.
1t would forever have remained un-
discovered by me had I not, by lucky
chance, observed one of the parent
birds visiting it, says writer in the
Worlds Work. Only at first did the
owners object to my intruding, and
by various methods did they try to
coax me away from their home. First
one, and then the other, would feign
broken wings, and, half rolling, half
scrambling, they would make their
way down the steep hillside, in the
hope of Turing me away. Then, find
ing that was not to be taken in even
by such an artful device, they endeav-
ored to accomplish their object by
scolding at me, In less than two
hours they quieted down and simply
looked on me in silence. The next
time I visited the nest they made no
objection, and imagined they recog-
nized me and realized that meant
no harm. either to themselves or to
their young, for these had Matched
since my last visit. Day by day I came
to watch the little fellows, and they
grew rapidly, as all young birds do.
Finally they were ready to make
their first venture into the great
world that. should no accident befall
them, was to be, their feeding ground
for many years to come. AS I looked
into the nest the family of fledge1ings
scrambled out as though they had
been scattered by some invisible hand
so nearly simultaneous was their ac-
tion, and in less time than it takes to
tell it each little mite of down. and
rust-colored feathers was hidden
among the dead, cracking leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though
I had tried my best to watch where
each bird concealed Itself, it was some
time before collected them all, pre-
paratory to photographing them. OF
course the parents were greatly ex-
cited-birds always are when their
young first leave the nest-and when
they saw the entire brood captured
by one whom they considered a friend
they seemed to regret having placed
SO much confidence in me. But only
for a very short time did their doubts
continue. AS soon as l. placed the
youngsters on suitable perch they
both ceased to utter that lisping note
of. anxious protestation, and to show
that they no longer feared me they
hoped about on the camera while ]
was arranging Il.

I When Lord Alverstone, the recently
appointed lord chief Justice of England,
was Sir: r:Richard Webste.. attorney gen.
eral and tory member Tor the Isle Of
Wight, he used to sing pretty regularly
in the surpliced choir Of Kensington
parish church. One of his constituents,
who did not know him by sight,
thought he would like to see his men,
ber in this uncommon position for q
great lawyer. So, when next in Lon
don, he attended morning service one
Sunday and asked q verger which of
the choir was Sir Richard Webster.
"Well,' replied the official, "that's the
vicar, those are the curates and I'm the
Everger, and so long as the choir gives
satisfaction it is not my business to
inquire into the antecedents of any of
them, man or boy" .5-

the little woman, and placing her on
his horse before him, carried her car
tive to the Indian camp. The whole
thing was treated as a great joke by
the Indians, and they called her
"The Captured Woman" and made
much of her. Her quick woman's W.T.
at once gave her the cue to her on-
portunity, and she fell into the
merry mood Of her captors at once.
When her husband reached the camp
to effect her rescue, he found her
practically queen of the village, and
every red man her adoring slave: Z
The incident, trivial though it was,
opened the way the husband was
seeking, and, taking the money Mrs.
Williams had earned during the fair.
they started again for the Indian
lands. This time they tried the Can.
non Ball River agency. They were
not afraid of hardships, and again
decided to walk it.
When they reached the agency the
fame of ''The Captured Woman" had
gotten there ahead of them, and they
were kindly received by the Indians.
They settled in deserted frontier
storehouse, log structure of two
rooms, and here Mr.. Williams began
the work of preparing his" "Alphabet of
Indians" SO far their adventures
had proven but holiday, one full of
hardships, perhaps, but holiday just
the same. The pathetic ending was to
come all too soon.
Throughoutthe glorious fall months
Mr.. Williams worked with a seeming
ly tireless energy. He studied his
Indian subjects, he listened to their
folk tales, he studied the habits and
character of other tribes through the
aid of his Indian friends and his
books. But with the coming of the
terrible cold of winter his health be-
gan to fail. Still he would not give
up and go back to the east. His
opportunity was at hand, and he
would improve it. Day after day his
wife watched the little pile of fin
~ished drawings grow, the pages OF
manuscript increase, but it was with
sorrowing heart, for her husband
was wasting away beneath the work,
and the rigors of a northern winter.
Occasionally letter from Mr.. Rus

work would cheer him for day OF

receive the encouragement and in
struction of the best of the New
York artists and illustrators. Soon
his work began to appear in the bet
ter class of publications, but he had
an ambition, an ideal, and "pot boli-
ing" would not satisfy it. He believed
in the artistic qualities of the west
ern Indian and wished to devote his
life to his portrayal in sketch book
and on canvas.
Patrons who desired Indian pic
lures were hard to find; publishers
Thought but little of them as sell
ing feature, and without financial
support it seemed impossible to real
:ze his ideal. Then Cupid shot one
of his. tiny darts into his heart,
and he fell in love with a charming
young lady and married her. The
wife did not bring to him rich
dowry, but she did bring encourage
ment, and when Mr.: Robert H. Rus
sell, of New York, offered to print an
Indian book if Mr.. Williams would
supply the sketches and manuscript,
the wife at once proposed that they
take all their worldly wea-v4l and jour-
pey. to the Indian lands, trusting in
kind providence to supply what they
lacked in this worlds goods.
They left the care-free Bohemian
life in New York and started for the
Indian lands of the northwest with
but SIS in money. BY the time they
had reached Bismarck, N. D., the
amount had been reduced to the small
!. sum of just Is cents. They were
bound for the Indian reservation at
Elbow Woods, just 125 miles distant.
4 To get there the only way seemed to
: be to walk, and walk they did.
But disappointment awaited them
at the end of their journey. Instead
of receiving them with open arms, as
shey had expected, the Indians looked
askance; they suspected them of be-
ing government spies, and would have
none of them. There was nothing to
do but retrace their way to Bismarck
again, and this they did, walking the
-. distance for a second time.

Emery Leverett Williams was an
artist born. From the days OF child
hood every instinct displayed the art
ist soul. He was born in the town
of Newton, Mass, in 1873, and it is
related of him that during the days his
boy friends were enjoying the pleas
ures and pranks that are a feature of
every boys life he was finding his
enjoyment in a sketch book and pen
gil. At the age of IS an opportunity
offered itself for him to begin a reg
ular course of study in art, scd he
went to Boston for that purpose.
From there he went to New York to
