that the opportunity of winning or

The road to success is open-the
trip depends upon your Brain, your
Character, your Nerve. No man OF
woman lacking these three business
essentials ever travels very far along
the route; they may crawl upon the
tracks for a distance but they never
reach their destination.
Grease up your Wheels of Progress

something. Move. You will find the
going much better if you do.
Believe in yourself; have good
opinion of yourself, and you will sue

yourself as lucky will help you tre-
mendously. The men and women who
are made of winning material do not
talk of hard luck or cruel fate; they
do not talk of being kept back by 9TH

resort for the men and boys of that
day. His face would beam with de-
light as he related the sports of his
boyhood, and he would exclaim, "West
Feliciana is one of the brightest spots
on earth to me-" He showed me the
place where his father watched the
habits of the beaver, and it is still re-
membered on the old Doherty proper
ty, now the home of Mrs. Burkhalter.
And the red clay, too, he took par
ticular notice of-his father had made
fine paint of it.
His jokes reminded me of one in his
mothers school. Ann Mathews want
ed to pay compliment to Mr.. Au-
dubon by saying good night to him in
French; so she asked one of the girls
how to do it. "Go to him." very cour-
teously said this mischief, "and cay,
Bon Soir Chat'.' Ann did it, in all
innocence, and what was her horror to
find she had said good night, cat"
1t made Mr.. Audubon quite angry.
When John went to visit the John
sons, he sent word for the girls to
"come and see an old friend" The

John caught all three rapturously and

Mrs. Jane Dashill afterward visited
them in New York, and said she had
never seen such simple, happy mind
ed people. The three Audubons were
working on "Animals of America
when she was there. These good and

Woman's enterprise., 1921-10-14

The big, dark closet behind US where
Miss Sarah Johnson used to keep the
pictures he gave her-one was the un-
finished portrait of Mrs. Audubon and
the boys. The Yankees took or de-
stroyed them all. The room is long
and low, four windows north, east and
west; the paper mulberries are softly
clashing together, and telling of the
wild, as in Audubon's time, and the
huge pink and white japonices are
keeping watch over the little "Box"
hedge as Of yore. This was the view
he had from the north window, and
ever the woods to the hazy blue hills.
Almost in the foreground was a tall
leafless pine, once the resting place OF
an eagle. Audubon killed it, painted
the picture, and gave it to Mr.. john
son.
Down in the beautiful grassy yard,
shaded by oaks and sycamores, the
Johnson and Audubon children played,
forming a friendship that nothing
could break. One day John hitched a
calf to little cart and took Ellen to
ride and dumped the young lady in
pond. John had to fish her out, sight
to behold.
1t was in that north room that Au-
dubon finished his own portrait by
looking ir a mirror and paiting his
reflection. It was begun by friend,
presumably Bachman. That portrait
was until recently in the possession Of
Mrs. John Hampden Randolph, the
daughter of Mrs. Walker, but she,
unfortunately, sold it to Mr.. David
Murrell, of Paducah, Kentucky. The
picture is not life size, but the por-
trait of a rather dark, thin French
man with particularly fine grey eyes;
the dark wavy hair is thrown back
from beautiful brow, the lips, sweet
and expressive; it is speaking like
ness and wrought by the hand of the
master.
Another picture of him Mrs. Ran
dolph has, is cabinet photograph Of
man at little past middle age in
hunting dress, with his favorite dog.
This picture was sent Mrs. Randolph
by Audubon's grandmother. Profess
sor Randolph then kindly ligted me
to the dining room to show me his
portion of the pictures from his faith
er's subscription. The rest had been
divided among ten brothers and Sis
