The yellow-breasted chat is an &C.

and in flying. When these birds sing
their musical effort seems to require
a great deal of flirting of the tall and
twisting of the head; and even when
they are flying their tail jerks up and
down, giving them a strange appear

worthy of the name, having been call

DIR. ASWELL WE'LL RECEIVED
By VOTERS OF THIS PARISH

DIR, j. b. AsWell spoke to one of the
largest and most enthusiastic crowds |
ever assembled for a political meeting
heron Friday of last week. All seats
in the large courtroom were filled and |
30 persons were standing around the
walls and in the do0rways. J. W.
from Gibsland. said he gave
out 22S Stubs buttons which was all
he had.
The meeting was called to order by
attorney VIM. d. Golf, who stated that
he had been over, the parish within
the past week, and that the drift was
toward Colonel Stubs. Con-
tinuing he predicted that the parish
would 60 for Colonel Stubs by large
majority He then introduced ]. c.
TheuS, Of Monroe, who spoke Of his
relationship with Col. Frank ?. Stubs
who, he said, was a man eminently
fitted to be governor Of Louisiana.
Judge Theus in answer to the acculsa-
ton that Col. Stubs is a corporation
lawyer, stated that there are only two
kinds of lawyers; one corporation
lawyer, and the other, one who wants
to be. This fact is conceded by the
lawyers themselves
Congressman ASwell was given an
ovation when he was presented to the
audience. His speech from time to
time was loudly applauded, and some
good old-fashioned yells were given fire.
Quently when he scored telling point.
His address was along the lines of his
other speeches.
He stated that he had found SO
per cent Of the Republicans sup
porting Parker, and SO per cent of
the Confederate veterans support
ing Colonel Stubs. He said he
had been in the state for 10 days
and from all he could see it was
evident that the Parker campaign
was running down. DIR. AsWell
said he believed the Parkerites
would be leg.Weary before the 20
of January.
In the course Of his speech DR.: As
well also reminded the people of The
opposition that John NJ. Parker hat
made to the Federal Reserve Bank anC
the Farm Loan Bank. The farmer o
the South is well aware of the benefit
derived from these two institutions. ;.
People from GibSland, Bryceland ant
other parts of the parish were preesn1
All declared that Stubs sentiment i
growing rapidly.
Expressions made after DR.. Aswell'
speech were that Bienyile parish wi
give Colonel Stubs a large majority.
DR.. Aswell spent the night in Al
cadia and on Saturday left for Ringgol
where he addressed the voters of War
I 4. This ward is claimed by the Parl
! err people, but in the past few weel
) great change has come, and the stat
! ment is made by some that Colon
Z Stubs will carry the ward by SOC
majority. From a conservative eS
mate we fully believe that Stubs W

jority.

taking a seat near him, produced
his cigarettes and settled down to
enjoy the painting
For an hour or two work went
on steadily and silently, then the
caretaker rose and stretched his
limbs. He had work that he must
attend to-perhaps monsieur would
come back and finish the sketch.
In the mind of the old servant no
shadow Of suspicion had place, hat
there was an uniformed idea at the
back of his head that it was hardly

he was such a gentleman, and If
he offended him he would stand lit

splendid-look at that golden raw

portrait can let myself out II

And 1t was said in such sim
plicity that the caretaker, entirely
disarmed, hesitated no longer.
The door of the dining-room
closed behind him, and the artist,
waiting a moment, rose warily and
tip-toed to the windows. He could
make out the bent figure OF the old
man crossing the gardens and
watched him until he disappeared
into one Of the farm buildings
which showed across a meadow OF
parched grass that was separated
from the gardens by a graceful line
Of poplars.

beads OF moisture pricked out on

Hastily whipping oper his shirt

a ribbon. He was not surprised

he told himself that he had sue

I'm glad you like the little draw

ing. Henri. I'm no artist, but"
"Ah! monsieur-it is the chateau
I love, not the art-that isl
mean" Henri stammered over his
faux pas, 1T is very beautifully
done, Monsieur Dartin.'
For a moment Vivian painted on
without speaking, then:
I'm better at interiors, Henri
dim old rooms, and all that. Look
at that old panelling in the chateau.
for instance-what a charming
picture, Henri; I'll do it for you, If
YOU like, when Monsieur de Barron
goes away-next month, didn't you
say" .t
And Henri, who had no wish that
the treasures under his care should
blush unseen, rose to the bait with
avidity-monsieur was too kind
he would have ID framed like the
other and they would go one on
b either side OF his bed.
And so it was that on an after
noon when the September sun
made glorious the old carvings of
the Chauville dining-room, Mon
sieur Baptiste Dartin stood for the
second time in the ancestral home
OF the Dartignys. He had entered
warily, even to the extent of look
ing anywhere save at the panelling
by the fireplace. He remarked, in
stead, to old Henri, on the carved
ceiling, the windows in which the
de Barron escutchepn had replaced
that Of the Dartignys It was the
caretaker himself who drew atten.

faced coat OF arms in the stone
work. Here the new resident, who
was no Philistine, had respected
history, and this broken and de-
faced shield OF the Dart1gnys now
remained to remind one OF the days
OF the Revolution.
II was old Henri, too, who sug.
gested the subject OF the sketch,
the angle to the right of the great
stone hearth, with its rich coloring
OF oak and the little grouping OF
dim family portraits. There was a
beam Of sunlight that came athwart
the room, and Vivian could hardly
repress a start as he saw that this
rested upon an exquisite carving OF
a cornucopia, and in the fruit that
was tumbling from Il an apple

CHAPTER XI.
The Carved Apple.

THERE is a little arbor ad-
joining the inn of the Three
Lilies" sheltered, vine
clad retreat from which the fair
land of France spreads itself out,
radiant picture in the Summer sun
shine-and fully appreciative of all
this beauty was the man who sat
before an easel within its pleasant
shade one August afternoon.
Baptiste Dartin had no great
knowledge of the art of painting.
but he was gifted with a superficial
skill in color which a student of
less virile brain might have studied
years to acquire and never sue
ceeded He had been in Massey
three weeks and the small popula-
ton were beginning to like this
stranger from Paris who depicted
and made them presents of-such
delightful little paintings Of their
countryside.
Monsieur Paul de Barron, the
present owner Of the property Of
Chauville, was in residence at the
chateau, and Henri, the caretaker,
who well remembered Vivian's last
visit, had less time on his hands
than formerly. He was able, how
ever, to slip up to the Lilies" OF
an afternoon, where, cigarette in
mouth. he would watch the deft
brushwork Of his agreeable ac-
quaintance. Vivian had given him
a slight sketch OF the chateau
towers showing above the trees,
and the old fellow, to whom Chau-
Vile and all pertaining to 1t we're
as sacred things, had become the
painters very slave for It.
Henri, seated beside him this
Summer afternoon, watched the
artist in a lazy content. Beside him
we're a box Of cigarettes and q bot
tie of claret. The sun beat down
through the vines clustering over
head and scattered little golden
discs OF radiance upon the boarded
floor. A bee droned musically over
the flowers in the garden. Framed
between the supports OF the trellis-
work, cornfelds and vineyards
shimmered In the heat: afar off the
hills, patched with forest lands,
spoke Of breeze and shadow.
Vivian, skilfully touching in the
purple shade beneath a clump OF
poplars, was speaking carelessly.
He did not take his eyes from his
sketchins-block.
