Thursday afternoon johnson went
to the carpenter on the Nordkyn ana
asked him for some wood alcohol,
saying that he wanted to fumigate
his cagin. A bottle Of alcohol was
given him and he retired to his
cabin. He did not appear for supper

through the great swamps of Louisiana, he
had discovered one new species of bird, he
felt himself. richly rewarded for all the toll.
The bare hut he occupied during his life in
the wood, became the home of happy man,
If he could secure some new feathers, some
bright-winged bird for his book.
He let nothing discourage him, and though
financial reverses overlook him. and his wife,
to help educate their children, became gov
erness in one of the old French families Of
Louisiana, he kept ON at his allotted task of
giving to the world the greatest book on birds
it had ever seen.
At one time he had collected two hundred
beautiful pictures of native birds and had
carried them with him to Philadelphia, but
IN single night rats got access to his port
folios and DESTROYED every drawing.
: About this time Audubon met the son of
Prince Lucien Bonaparte, who encouraged him
to give his pictures to the world; and this
is said to have been the start of that wonder
full book, which can only be seen in the great
libraries of the country and the homes of
the wealthy.
Audubon's desire was that his great work
should contain pictures of the birds as large
as life. Nothing had ever been attempted on
this scale before. and there were those who
said the idea could never be carried out. He
decided that his book should sell for one
thousand dollars copy, and estimated that
it would cost about one hundred times this
sum to carry out the undertaking..
In order to secure subscribers he sailed for
England, where he found friends among the
great men of the day, and his list was en-
riched by such names of Herschel, Sir Wal
ter Scott and Christopher North"

Before the woman had time to express her

She started to her feet and laid one hand
over her fast beating heart as footsteps sound

ma'am," explained the policeman. Don't

believe he knows he was collared''
The little chap had gone to sleep again.
You naughty boy!" said the mother, re-
proachfully; "to give me such a fright, and
yolr father away from home"
All unconscious the boy lay, unmindful Of
his mothers rising wrath.

just then the small culprit threw his arm
caressingly around her neck and murmured
softly:

"My dearest boy" she cried, her mood
changing again. "And l thought 1 had lost

AS she walked out of the police station,
carrying the precious burden, the sergeant
looked at the patrolman and smiled sagey
"Ah, these women' he remarked, shak-

proyingly. and the silence was again un-
broken.

with distinction, and the boy who, years be-
fore, had sketched in the forests of America,
was the favorite of the drawing rooms OF
Europe. His paintings were everywhere adj
mired and thousands came to see them.
When Audubon issued the prospectus OF
his great work, he had not money enough to
pay for the first copy. Ruin stared him in
the face; but his indomtable will did not
give way He sold at this time some paint

1t has been said of Audubon that he "dis-

had been known to exist in North America
till his keen eyes began to look for them"
He was less than fifty when he resolved to
put forth his great book on birds, and was
seventy-one at the time of his death. He
had seen more of bird-life than any living
naturalist, and his existence had been
round of out-of-door rambles almost from
the time of his first steps.
He was scientist of the Agassiz school,
though not, perhaps, with the learning of
that great parsonage. He learned early in life
that, as one cannot master everything, it is
well to look closely at some special object,
and make that ones study, and this is one
reason why he devoted himself to the birds.
We have had many naturalists since Audu
bon's day, but he stands out as the pioneer
bird hunter of America, and his proudest mon

the best years of his life. 1t is a book

has no equal.

A GREAT BIRD HUNTER

Fl ANY years ago, travellers making
hkM their way along a certain road in
tSs Louisiana were wont to see, seat
ed upon log or stump, robust,
good-lool5ing boy drawing the por-
traits Of birds from nature His
pencil was busy and his eyes keen with true
artists perception. He drew from love
not only of the art of drawing, but because
he saw beauty in the feathered tenants of
the wood. His pictures were pronounced
marvellous for one SO young, but, strange to
say, they did not suit him, and so at the
end of each day he consigned his work to the
flames.
The boy sketcher was Audubon, one Of
the first naturalists of this country, man
who has left behind him the most beautiful
and faithful representations of our native
birds.
Audubon's life was full of adventure and
excitement from boyhood. His parentage
was French, his father being naval officer
who had worked his way up to the command
OF man-of-war and settled in Louisiana,
not, tar from New. Orleans. Here the great
bird hunter was born, May 4, 1880. de
grew to love. the wood from his earliest in
fancy, and birds were his first companions.
Pencil in hand, Audubon would GO into
the forest. and, creeping through the net
work OF vines in order not to disturb the
home life of the beautiful feathered crea-
lures he had determined to portray, would
spend hours drawing them as they were
More than once he saved the lives of birds
from the rattlesnake, and in turn had many
thrilling adventures of his own with. the
poisonous reptiles of swamp and forest.
In course of time Audubon was sent to
Paris, where he was under the care of David,
one of the greatest painters of his time, and
there he learned much which afterward ben
efted him in his chosen work. He was an
apt pupil, and when he came back to America
his father1gave him farm in Pennsylvania,
where he spent many happy days with pencil
and brush and among the birds of wood and
stream.
