will. They are a time-tried formula,

debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,

MAPLE ROAD KENNELS 
NEW PRESTON, CONN. 
were every day on birds, they could not 
hope to cope with this champion. He had 
his setter broken to a queen’s taste, so 
he told me ; he stopped anywhere at com- 
mand, and was steady to wing and shot 
on any game. 
T he steady • to wing on anything 
amused me. For it recalled one of 
my young dogs a few years back — 
my steady mainstay now — whose early 
days were exhibitions of speed between 
him.qelf and quails. And I am yet 
amazed how some of the birds ever beat 
him to cover. One consolation was, they 
seldom got there much in advance. 
That Fall it was a handsome, meek- 
looking, little setter that he brought to 
the farm. She was nicely put up. But 
I never saw her make a step vdthout 
glancing at her master to see if she was 
doing it properly. From the second she 
was in the field she pointed. 
He took me by the arm, backed off and 
asked me to observe the style of her point. 
Then he withdrew a few paces absorbed 
in contemplation. Despite all this she 
had not had a bird flushed in front of 
her. 
From eight in the morning until four 
in the afternoon is a wait of considerable 
duration on a dog to find a quail in a 
neighborhood, too, where birds were in 
abundance, and their roosts were visible in 
every field and thicket. The wisitor’s dog 
failed abominably, not a bird did she find. 
It would by far have been better had 
we depended on walking them up. With- 
al my companion never surrendered his 
faith, and his admiration was as keen as 
at the break of dawn. Presently the day 
was drawing to a close. The dog had 
begun to range ahead of us fully forty 
feet. She stopped, flung her head high 
and stopped in a perfect pointing atti- 
tude. She had become a thing of won- 
drous beauty. Her nostrils quivered with 
elation. 
“Keep still, she has them now,” her 
master confided in low tones, as though 
the secret were too great for mortal ears. 
“Where?” I asked, and was moved to 
add through churlishness: “I don’t see 
any use of making it a secret. It is no 
disgrace for her!” 
He was impervious to my sarcasm. In 
advance of me he trod gingerly. “Come,” 
he whispered, beckoning with his hand. 
“She still has them!” 
We both kicked in the sedge twenty 
times, walked around her, shouted. I did 
not even get my gun ready so interested 
was I in the find. Nothing could be 
raised, and the dog refused to budge. 
Unable to account for this unparalleled 
feat of stanchness, we sought other 
causes. 
The city hunter fell to his knees, feel- 
ing around in the dry grass. Then his 
eyes glimmered at her achievement. She 
had found at last! not birds; for he held 
aloft for my obser\*ation a dead mole. 
And she would have been still pointing 
had he not dragged her off.
