AUDUBON IN WEST FELICIANA.
Continued from page fve)


Audubon's star was then in the as.
cendant. He got many subscribers
dressed we'll, was feted and made hon.
orary member Of societies and had a
good time generally, which he en-.
joyed with all his simple and boyish
nature. But over the sea and far in
the Louisiana hills, a little dark hair.
ed and grey-eyed woman was working
and waiting for him, so he ran away
from it all to Manchester, to place
where she had played when child and
gathered wild-fowers and spars to
bring her.
On November 9th, 1927, the first
book was published. One of the worst
misfortunes that ever happened to
man was that the publishing house
burned and everyone one of his pic
lures destroyed, and he had to come
home and make them every one over

MAN..
The years arc slipping away, Au-
dubon is on the heights now, he has
walked nearly over America, listened
to every bird song, lain for hours mo-
t'onless as the log he resembled
watching his beloved nature. A figure
colossal he stands on American soil
his keen ear catching every bird-note
from the whir of the humming bird
to the beat of the eagles wings, and
cry of the sea birds far out in the
Western breakers.
John and Victor have lived their
happy boyhood in West Feliciana and
are working at Louisville, Kentucky,
Mrs. Audubon is still teaching, now at
Mrs. Garrett Johnston's. (1826).
One day Of sweet memory I went to
Baton Rouge to see Mrs. VIM. Walk
er, "Little Ellen Johnson, the young
est Of the Johnson sisters, too young
to 60 to school, but privileged to Mr..
Audubon's lap, while he taught or
painted; also to hold his specimens
while he practiced taxidermy, or hold
the branches of trees, while he posed
his birds true nature and painted
them.
l am familiar with Beech Grove,
her old home, and Mrs. Walkers crepe
cap and silver curls seemed turned to
gold again and a sunbonnet lifted by
long strings as "Little Ellen" led me
by the hand up the steep steps to the
north room, which was a studio and
schoolroom, with a long table down
the middle of the room in lieu d
desks, to hold his specimens.

YOUR ROAD.
(Vallie M. Seitz.)

For twenty years two chess play
ers met daily at Browns Chop House,
and took their places silently, silently
played their game and silently depart
ed. For twenty years a third party
sat by and silently looked on.
Then one of the two players failed
to show up, for the first time in twen-
ty years. After waiting few min
utes, his partner said to the onlooker,
81 guess he isn't coming today. Will
you play his men,"
Sorry" was the answer, "but
don't know the game"
He had followed every move fol-
twenty years but he didn't know the
game. He had watched the drama of
king and casle for two decades without
a single undercurrent of strategy,
speculating on single motive, or an
ticipating single coup.
He had displayed infinite patience
in looking at the game, but he couldn't
be bothered looking into it. He show.
ed every symptom to life except ita
first SYMPTOM curiosity.
He belonged to that listless army Of
passive observers who clutter up the
side lines of businessmen who look
without seeing, listen without hearing,
do without understanding.
Placed in an office-at a bench-he
would remain twenty years ignorant
of his neighbor's job, his superior:
problems, his own significance. Wher
the opportunity for advancement came
he would have to say, "Sorry, but
don't know the game"
Don't be an onlooker. Take advan
tage of your opportunity. Step in

TO UPPER S|LES|A
DECISION OF COUNCIL.
General Lerond Appeared Be-
fore the Allied Council to
Explain Events Leading up
to the korfanty Insurrection
in Upper Silesia Last Year.
DisaPproved by Germany.

Paris, Aug. 9.-The allied supreme
council decided today not to send re-
lnforcements to the allied troops in
upper Silesia. When the question
came up as to sending additional
French troops as reinforcements the
British delegation voted against such
action.
Paris, Aug. General Lerond,
head of the inter allied commission
in upper Silesia appeared before the
Supreme Allied Council here today to
explain events leading up to the Kor-
fanty insurrection there last spring.
He was bitterly attacked by Germany
for his alleged failure to foresee the
attempt by the Poles to take over a
large part of upper Silesia in the pie
biscite area and there were hints
that he did not take proper meas
ures to meet the situation.
The presence of George Harvey.
the United States Ambassador has
led to suggestions in unofficial quar-
ters that he might play a definite
role in settling the vexing Silesian
question.
1t is not announced but it is the
assumption that any action he might
take would be directed by the state
department in Washington
