OF his familiar and engaging literary way
the author makes an interesting and
heartenfng record OF this life In the open
and Its power to recreate dead energies
and to restore lost forces. Happily for
the story. the curative processes are mod

artful implication. The bulk Of the ad-
venture Is frankly and heartily an out
of-door experience OF zest and enjoyment
OF woods and stream. of dawne and twi-

good story that looks. and sounds, and

its Interior motive held in almost COM

Beginning with a wedding. after an en-
gagged separation of something like twen-
ty years. this quiet and sustained story
makes record of the married life OF Sir
Henry and Lady Trevor. An early legacy
to them Of two girls. in whose train are
an adorable dog. and the frequent pres
ence of a fascinating boy electrifies
Trevor Lordship into gayety. It more
over sets down possibilities for q more
stirring and youthful romance than the

heroine and hero are. with more or less
of unhappiness, adapting themselves to
the new order. More relations moving

this the woman is driving the sheep away
from the observer and through fringe
of trees, which serve as q screen through
which the sunlight filters. This canvas
is fresher in color than the larger one
and more luminous, but it does not pos
sess the same dramatic quality. The
other two paintings are sma1ler-one Is OF
cattle. the other of sheep. Both interpret
the aspect of outdoor light and have
breadth and effectiveness. They are not
great, but they are very good and indi-
cate unusual ability on the part OF the
painter. Gaylord Sangster Truesdell was
born in Washington. ILL.,. in June. 1850.
and died in New York in 1899. He studied
first in Philadelphia and afterward in

A Better Deer Bill.
From the Boston Post,

Lovers Of those exquisite children Of
nature the deer. will commend heartily
the action of the state senate in voting
to substitute for the adverse house re-
port OF the committee on fisheries and
game g. bill to repeal the act OF last
year allowing an open season on the
animals in the western counties.
In answer to the objections OF the
farmers that the deer eat their crops
the bill provides that the board OF FISH
and game commissioners and their
deputies shall at any time kill deer
with rifle or otherwise in the counties
Of Berkshire. Franklin, Hampden.
Hampshire. Middlesex and Worcester IL
in the opinion OF the commissioners
such killing IS necessary to prevent
depredations OF the animals. The bill
provides that the carcasses shall be
sold and the proceeds paid into the
treasury Of the commonwealth.
Such a measure ought to be sufficient
to satisfy everybody except those who
want to shoot the innocent. half-tame
creatures for meat Last falls scenes
in the open" districts ought not to be
repeated in this state.

RAILROAD.

The New Iberia and Northern
railroad is now building a spur
from the main track which is to
lead from Loreauvllle to the Caro-
line plantation on Lake DauteIive.
At the beginning Of this week Jr.
X. }. Lock wood, the Chief Eugi-
neer Of the road, advised us that
three quarters Of the grading Of
that spur had been accomplished.
He further explained that this did
not mean that three-qnarters Of
the distance was completed, bn'
that three quarters Of the total
yardage of the grade work had
been done. The work to be done
is much lighter and will go much
faster.
When this spur will have been
completed it will afford a splendid
opportunity for locating cub
houses and a pleasure resort on
the shores Of Lake Danterlve, if
the railroad company will only
carry the track out to the lake
!, hOre and then furnish the tran
spOrtatiun facilities.
