For more than decade I kept to my determination, bet at last I awoke to the truth, turned s my big canvases out of doors and to paint miniatures. One afternoon just before the summer heglra Into the country. I was putting the finishing touches to the liny portrait of a famous society beauty.

All that evening and during the Interminable eight that followed I was a madman dominated by a single tbaoght how to keep that miniature far my very own. I could have repro-daee- d It In absolute facsimile, but It woe Id not have been the same. I must fear the bit of Ivory on which I had emated the varlsemblance from the Wring model.

It was now that I examined for the first time the card which the old nan had left on my table, Under tba printed line. "James Falrlle. Traln-m- r was written of Wild Animals."

The disease appears on the comb, face and wattlea of the bird In the form of yellowish nodules, varying In size from a pin bead to of an inch in diameter. These nodules Increase In size and turn dark red. The disease should be treated as soon as the first nodules are noticed. It la not always fatal and fowls have been known to recover without any treatment. Insanitary conditions and dampness seem to cause the disease. Treatment. As It Is a contagious disease, the affected blrda should be removed from the flock Immediately. If the nodules are removed with a sharp knife, and the affected parts are treated with carbolated vaseline, the birds should recover In a few days. If the case la very far advanced the sick fowls should be given a few grains each of Bulphur and cream of tartar three times a day, and oxide of sine ointment should be applied to the affected parts twice a day. The latter treatment Is recommended by Doctor Lehman, and has proved a satisfactory remedy.
