°'.™ J P^wdlng the adjoining Bradley 

 estate to unite with Crow Point, Mr, Pope 

 brought together a wild bird sanctuary in 

 Hing-ham of nearly\ three thousand acres, 

 including almost every variety of nesting 

 site and feeding ground, from the eeashor 

 to the upland woods and pastures. 



So he wrought, but much more with his 

 brush. The - circus lions fare better for his 

 painting them. Many a horse ha3 an easier 

 bit and a glossier coat because of hl»

 troubled light of all dogs' eyes than theh- 

 painter, Alexander Popef Or who lias re- 

 vealed to us so much pf the beauty of the 

 dog in action? No man who follows a 

 beagle through the woods, or quarters a 

 meadow behind a setter, or has ever waited 

 among the reeds with a retriever waiting 

 for the ducks, can fall to. know how- much

 expression of his heart.
