The lady was seated under an .apple -tree in a most delightful orchard, and 'the child was lying on its back, vainly endeavoring to bite an tipple at least three tinith the size of its mouth. ' It was so freshein treatment, so deli- cately painted, that the • connoisseurs were unanimous in their approbations and praise, but the general public, who know little and care less for composit tions were quite content with being Charmed by the _exquisite beauty of the mother and the delightfully lifelike youngster. It was the picture of e the year, and it was found necessary to place before it the protecting rail and policemen which only appear before the mat event of the exhibition. Critics praised it, the papers rhapsodized ' it, the public'. crowded to 'see it, and for some days, after that on which the ex- hibition opened everybody was asking who and whatothe painter was, for the name in .the catalogue was evidently an assumed one, and teed nothing. The mystery only heightened the pub- lic and artistic curiosity andinterest, and at dinner parties and in the pauses of the.danee ono heard people saying to each other; • • - • "Have You seen the mother and child in the apple orchard? Splendid, isn't it? Wonder; who on earth the man is?" The secret wag very well kept—for nearly a month. Atathe end of that time, however, the -lien was tiftedt for a famous critic,' who was sharper- than hisfellows, happened to visit, the gal- lery one afternoon, and found the popu- lar Countess of Arrowdale standing be- fore it. As he looked first at the ,picture and then at her she haPPeneel to smile. Now, the Mother was not a portrait of NOrate but Cyril had perhapg uncon- sciously bestowed upon the pahated face • a reflection, a hint Of the singe which 'r one of the charms with which Norah evorked her spell., and the critie divined the truth.

There are many other reasons why the Chatham Incubator and Brooder outclasses the setting hen. The hen sets when she is ready. The Char ham Incubator is always ready. By- planning to take off a hatch at the right lime, you may have plenty of broilers to sell when 13roilors are scarce and prices at tho top notch. If You depend on the hen, your chicks will grow to • broilers just when every other hen's chicks aro being marketed, and when the price Is not so stilt The hen is a parelesi3 mother, often leading her: chicks amongst wet grass, buehes, and In places whore rats can confiscate her young.. The. Chathara. Brooder behaves itself, is a perfect mother and very rarely loses a chick, midis not infested with lice.
