A Bone Affection .-e Young Animal lbierrt Oommonly Ad _ p. t Described and Treatetaiist Offered • (contributed by Ontario Department'st Agriczulture, Toronto.) PUNT lameneeS is a common complaint in young home*, and :occasionally seen in horse* of any -age. It is rarely noticed in the hand limbs. In order to understand and appre- clate the trouble it is necessary is have an Intelligent idea of the. bony anatomy of the horse from the ,knee to the fetlock. This part it usually called:the cannon. It censiats of three ' bones: one large cannon bone extend - trig the whole distance, from the.knee in the fore limb; and from the hook in the hind limb �o their respective fetlock joints. This bode has a.• broad` and somewhat flat posterior surface. To each edge of this surface is At- tached (by ligamentous attachment) a small somewhat triangular-shaped bone, of considerable size a bo re, where it artieulates with the bones of the knee joint, and gradually de - e, creases in size as it extends down- wards, becoming quite 'small, and terminating in a small somewhat pea -shaped nodule, a. little more than two-thirds down the. large bone. These nodules can `te readily felt, one eie each side of the posterior aspect of the -large bone, a few inches above the fetlock. A splint consists b a bony union between the large and small bones. Inflammation is set up, usually by concussion during travelling, espe- cially on hard roads. As a result of this inflammation an exudate is thrown out, and the ligamentous,at- tachinent is destroyed. . The exudate is, of course, soft at. first, but soon become converted into ' bone and unites the large and small bones by bony y. on, An. , exaargau itat .•-Qt reeter or leks size Gan usually be een, which, in moat Cases, gradu- ally disappears, by absorption ..until nothieg can b, noticed,' alio!

This arises from the fact that the visible enlargement :las us- ually* disappeared, but the union of the bones remains. Tins absorption does not always occur. It is not un- colnn1on to observe well marked spines in horses of .any ago. In sone cases the splint iiii. double—that is, an enlargement is neticable oh each side of the limb. In aureii cases there is usually a bony deposit extending across the, posterior:., surface or the large bone, ,from one splint to the other. This- often causes an irritation to th esitspensory ligament (which passes down this surface) _cad causes perfnanent lameness. Splints seldom cause persistent or `permanent lame- ness. Symptoms.: In many cases no lameness is caused.. The first intima- tion of the presence of splint is the appearance of the enlargement, - which usually gradually disappears. in other cases lameness is well nark- ed, and is usually characteristic. - A horse lame from splint will usually stand and walk sound, but if asked to jog or trot will show well marked lameness, the head dropping decided- ly when the foot of the sound leg touches the ground. The lameness is often noticed before there is any vis- lble enlargement. The lameness is more marked when the horse trots down grade, and the intensity of the lameness. usually increases as exer- cise it continued. Manipulation will usually reveal the seat of the trouble. By pressing between the thumb and finger the line of attachment between the lao•ge and small bones from the knee downwards, •the seat can be lo- cated by the horse flinching when the seat of the trouble is pressed. And, if severe pressure be applied he will often roar on his hind legs. The usual neat of splint is on the inner surtace of the fore cannen, or it' may be on rite outer surface, or both, and ns usually one to three inches below the knee-, but may be either higher or lower. The hind limb is seldom affected, but when it is the seat -is usually on the outer ,urface. Treatment:—Lameness is usually present only during the inflammatory stew:. When the , exudate becothes oes tLLeci (converted into bone) the in- flammatory iatory action ceases and lanie- nesr, nleappears, except the enlarge- ment be of sufficient size, or so sit- uated that it irritates the suspensory 1mgaittfnt or involves the joint.

This will often be all that is necessary. In other cases lameness is nacre persistent, and it is 11eceesary to apply a blister.

When lameness is not shown it is feed= considered necessary to treat epiint, as the enlargement usually, gradually disappears without treat ntent.--r. H. Reed, -1/ .S., O. A. Col- lege, Guelph.

By HOLMAN DAY HARPER, & BROTHERS - (Continued from last week.) "But I am not 'glad. It was love. Won't it come back again?" "My (pinion will be only poor guess- work." uess-work." 'Nevertheless the little priest was guessing at something which his own knowledge made probable. Paul Sabatis had proudly explained to the cure a determination to go into the north country and test the treaty rights of the Abnaki race.' Pere Lafis►mme had heard the faint echo of a j order rumor.' "But you are wise and you are old and you have listened to many in their sorrows, good father." "Yes, I have listened. And when they have wanted my help they have told me all." ' He waited a long time, but she did not speak. "And when I have been told enough so that I could help I have talked with one and then the other. He . has gone away, eh? I have often smoothed the toad between folks so that they could come together again and be happy. When. I know him I shall answer your questios better." "I'll never tell Sou who he is. Never, never!` I have given a pledge to him." "I do not ask you to break ,your` word. I am sorry. I would like to help you." -"But when he goes' away 'when he will , not come to me any inore— when he turns his face froth mine and his kisses are cold—what does it mean?" she pleaded, knowing in her own heart, what._ it_ must mean, but frenziedly eager for some 4 sort" of reassurance from one who Was 'older and wiser. "Can he be brought back to me and be mine again, as he was before?" In spite of his humility in profes- sion of knowledge regarding heart affairs, Pere Laflamme had no mean powers of discernment and judgment. He harbored no illusions. It was not in his heart to give this tortured girl any hypocritical assurances., He turned in his chair and faced her. She stretched out her hands, tear -wet, appealingly. "Good father tell me! Can it be made as it was before?" In spite of his pity; -the little priest replied with a sort of grim irony which he Was not able to suppress. The old story ----another girl living it for the first time! "Yes, it can be made as it was!" He was promptly sorry because he had said it; her eyes widened with hope. "But it can only be made so by a miracle." Then he wasmore honestly sorry! He had expected that she would un- derstand the irony; he Wanted to bring her out of that dream so that he could administer consolation when she was in sane and chastened mood. But in her desperate reaching for help she saw only what her impulse forced her to look for. She was no longer normal in her ideas and power to reason.. She was dominated by heart - hunger and passion, she sought to hold again what had been lost. With simple faith she seized on what he had offered. She locked the fingers of her hands to control their trembling. "A mir- acle?" she whispered. The little cure, looking on that, pathetio face, had no courage to take from her just then the questionable solace his statement had given her. "I have read the Bible, bon cure. But are there miracles in these days?" Her grief had numbed the more active qualities of her mind; she was like a confiding child, , wistfully seeking knowledge. He hesitated only for a moment. "Yes, my' daughter! I feel justified by my faith in saying that there are miracles still." Then he wondered how he would keep on with her, holding to the truth, yet not bruising her faith. Dante" Barbe came to the door of the sitting -room. "It it late! Shall I light the bedroom candle?" "Yes, it is late, Dame Barbe. But we have nearly finished our talk. Take your knitting and sit by the fire with - us for a few minutes. What we talk about is for your ears, too." The little father was a bit at sea in his thoughts and felt that the pres- ence of the practical old housekeeper would serve both as beacon and break- water; he rather 'feared too intimate questioning - by this distracted girl. "Bring yon stool, my daughter. Sit here h my chair." He spoke sooth- ingly as he y eiti=: Yrs,: & c1reejlefl - a chid. "1 will tell you, as best - I can, about miracles in these days."

"Not so very far from Sainte Agathe is a holy place where there are miracles i7n these days, so the good fathers of our Church affu'm: To • reach there one - goes up our big rive and past the mountains of Notre Dame and by the waterways of the Great Black, through the forests and -down the slopes of L'Islet and Montmagny. And at last one comes to the mighty river and to the Cote de Beaupre and there, where the water stretches wide and the mountains rises to the sky, is the gray church and it holds the shrine of Sainte Anne de Beaupre--though all the folks call her 'La Bonne Ste. Anne.' You know, my daughter, she is_ the mother of Mary;- she is the grandmother Of the Blessed Jesus." In the obscurity the girl's eyes glowed like stars; her lips were apart. The cure's lips moved and no sound came. "Mary, Mother, help me!" he prayed. "You understand the heart. Give me the words- for this child." "Have you been there, bon cure?" "Yes, I have been there'ntany times. I have seen the holy relic—it is a bit of the finger -bone of_ ' the .good - saint. In its precious casket it's ,like a flake of -gray moss." : "And it works miracles?" The priest did not reply immediate- ly. He realized that he was handling Vhefragile fabric of a child's faith And hopez . ' Dame Barbe, however, - had no doubts of any kind. . She rested her busy needles. "Why do you ask the silly question, main'selle ? No won- der the good priest look at you! -Hear me! Was there not my own brother. Timothee - of the Twist -leg they call him all his life—who piled his crutch with the others at the door of the good Sainte Anne? Oui!" "Let 'the child understand well,' protested the cure, careful in his handling of the hopes. "Timothy's leg 'did` not lose the twist." -. "No, I do not say the good saint went so far—to take too much trou- ble for •a man who would not need any legs for long. But he walked on the twist' leg without the crutch -and the hurt was not bad, :after a time." "No, I'll admit that. The hurt was not so bad after as time," declared the priest, patting the dark hair. "And there are other hurts that La Bonne Sainte Anne does much to heal." "Oui, tout-a-fait—nothing less! 'Poleon Gendreau he swallowed the iron nail when he - shingle on . the houses He went all the way to the shrine. He prayed. Then he cough- ed, oughed, And there this day is the iron nail hung on the sacristy wall, 'with a writing under it. Heh?" "Yes, Dame Barbe, I -have seen the nail. I have seen cripples come a-. way rejoicing. But I have seen. those who have deeper hurts—and they came away happier than the cripples. For the ' good saint had answered prayer and had lifted• burdens and had taken the ache from theheart and had given new hope and courage. That's the healing I was talking a- bout." "A miracle—yes, that is it," 'whispered Lola. "It is a holy place and I know that wonderful peace has been found there, my daughter. I have known of those who have felt: their sorrows on the Scala Santa—the holy stairs where the pilgrims climb on their knees, say- ing a prayer on every step. And in the church one may make the novena —the nine days of prayer. One lifts the eyes and sees always the blessed grandmother, standing there, holding the Infant Jesus in her arms. And she looks down and one -knows that there is in the world . a compassion that's -sweeter than sympathy a hu- man being can give and a love which outlasts all other kinds of love. But now it is too late for more questions; child," he said, checking her gently and patting her cheek. "The spirit of the good saint is here, though the holy relic and the grand figure the sculptor made are in the basilica at Sainte Anne de Beaupre, -So run to bed and say a prayer to her before you sleep. Yes, then you will sleep! And if you dream that she bends over you in the night you shall tell about it to hie in tine morning. I believe Will smile in the morning. For the miracle of healing the heart is one that's easy for a saint. As for other things, we shall see what a petition to her niay bring." She kissed his . hand and - went away with Dame . Barbe Until midnight the little. priest sat and looked into the dying fire, busy with long rumination. How •could he help, her further? To be sure, he did not understand the situation very well; on the surface it was a lovers' quarrel; he wondered because her de- spair seemed to be so profound. In the past he had mediated in lovers' quarrels with success. He knew that Paul Sabatis was honorable. That way a mediator's duty lay. Pere Laflamme decided to probe a little deeper when the morning light wts bright and afforded a saner outlook. So he shoveled the ashes to make safe the -glowing coals and took his candle from the shelf, and in a little while the house was dark and -still. Aird in the silence and the dark- ness Lola lay, wide-eyed, under the coverlet 'that- had been spread and tucked 'by the hands of Dame Barbe, 4 revolving with passionate intensity of his determination to keep on liv- the new hopes and pians which had ing. been suggested to her. 1 He took his way past the church e -cure, th . g it--- He had saidwise and on the hill in leaving the village, he old, had all it! _ Only by a miraclei� walked ve •- slowly; and anxiously And mirael s were still wrought in eyed the w' ows of the cure's house; the land.

He asked petulant- the one • light. She made her resolve and trembled because of the daring - of it. She was awake and "alert when, the first gleam of dawn outlined the figured weave in the 'good dame's cur- tain which was draped at the gable window. - Cautiously, fearfully, holding her breath whenever creak or rustle warn- ed her, she dressed and iiiade her way down stairs. Nobody hindered her. The doors : of Pere Laflamme were never locked. r : Into the open into the twilight of the morning! - No one was abroad in Ste. 1.gathe. _ _ She hurried down the hill to the shore. The ;three Indians, wrapped in their blankets, were. a- sleep under the sachem -canoe. She touched Minos Francis and he opened his eyes and did not require her gesture warning him to be silent; an Indian 'awakes with senses alert and nerves steady. He drew himself carefully out from under the canoe and followed her a little way along the shore. She did not waste time. "Do you know of the shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre ?" Dunos nodded. "Do you know the way there?" "For certain! Have made the voy- age!" He showed neither surprise . nor curiosity and she found it hard to keep on. After hesitation, with the timidity of one who feats refusal she drew from her breast a pouch of skin and offered it to Dunos. Tinkle of coins betrayed the contents; it was her stock of gold which she had 'earn- ed by her own little enterprises— sale of skins from her traps for.mink, sable, and fishcat; fruit of her indus- triouk needles\ during the long even- ings of winter. "It is for .you." "But why - for me, mam'selle ?" "If. you and your brother will take me to Sainte Anne!" she pleaded: And when he looked at her for a time without replying she added: "I have much - to ask of the good saint, Dunos. I need your help. When I have asked for help from others they have told me that I must explain why I need the help. Must I tell you? Perhaps I must explain •a part --.perhaps I can tell _ ' He put up his hand, palm toward her. "No need- to tell - me. You say you want- to go. That's enough for me—eneugh,. for my brother. .When?" "We must hurry! I could not wait for the sun." When she tendersh " pouch again he pushed bi- sand. "Not " for'. " You're friend, you're cousin. ' 'e„ proud of that —my brother—re o. But there's a bigger reason. filo you're princess. You say go. _ We g "But I do not c mmand. I have no right." "Yes, you have right. - But you need not order us to go. You say you want to go? That's enough," he declared again, with 'emphasis. He strode back to the canoe and set enoccasined foot against the shoulder of his brother. "Up!" Peter opened his eyes and Noel stirred and dragged himself slowly from under the canoe. "To Sain'te Anne—the shrine—we go now. Hurry!" The chief stood up and voiced astonishment. "Grandpere, you cannot do any more. You have told me so. 1 have talked with the cure, and he is good and wise. You and I do not know, but he knows. It is the good saint who can do what you and I can't do. I must go to her." With the word of the priest and with the mysteries of love and with the widely heralded power of La Bonne Ste. Anne, the old Indian had not the presumption to interfere. He had admitted his own helplessness•. The cure must know best. There was hope, then! He was glad to see this new courage in they girl; after all, things would come right and his con- science would be freed from a dread- ful burden. Ile was sorry because he had depended on his own poor efforts for so long; somebody who was wise and good could' -have handled it all better! He raised his hand and spoke to the Indians in the Mellicite tongue, solemnly. They replied gravely and earnestly. They bound themselves by the tribes oath. There was food in the sachem - canoe, there were woods depots be- tween them. and the Laurentian Valley; they had their rifles. For such as they the forest was a store- house of food if all other supplies failed. The chill of the dawn was giving way to the benignant warmth of an Indian summer . day, for the sun's glowing "circle was showing its upper limb .above the eastern hills. The river was a golden flood. In the sachem -canoe, with the chief's kiss on her forehead, Lola set forth on her pilgrimage. - Old Noel stood on the river's bank and gazed after her Atli a wooded thrust of shore hid her waving hand. Yes, it must be so! A priest's wis- dom and a good saint's power must prove to be supreme! The old In- dian founeethe sunshine to be bright- er, se it seemed, that morning. Life, was worth something, after all even at one - hundred and two. But there was a more sinister reason 'for his grim determination to stay alive; he had invoked the great Pamola and had set himself as sentinel of ven- geance over the man who had sworn an oath to a chief in order to possess a maiden who was princess of the tribe! - `_`She go! Now me go!" he mutter- ed. "Beaver tail! Go eat him." ' For Noel that decision was corollary r ly where Lola was. "She gone. She start in a hurry to go where you toll here." The cure opened his mouth, but he did not speak. He was- enlightened and felt amazement, doubt, and the sting of self-reproach. He had treat- ed her as a child without taking into full account the dangers , in the Credulity of childhood. The little cure. got control of himself in short order; the '-old Indian's bland demeanor in- dicated that what Lola had under= taken was very satisfactory in the opinion of this representative of the family; it would not do to interfere with the calm of this otliei child-- the, child of a hundred years. 7 "Oh yes! Very well," said Father - Pierre, in as matter-of-fact tone as he could muster. "But—but—well, I thougnt she was coming back to have breakfast. "Must hurry!" "And I wanted to make sure that. 1she had the right—the proper.—" - irobed the priest, having only vague - surmise to apply to Lola's method of making the pilgrimage for which he felt uncomfortably responsible. "She has Dunos and Peter — her - cousins. The sachem -canoe. They smart. Know all the way." "Yes! Then all will be fine!
