An Artist Without Arms.

The comrade without arms was the most assiduous worker. It was amusing to watch his mlttened feet step out of their shoes and at the shortest notice proceed to do duty as hands. Ills nimble toes would screw and unscrew the tops of the color-tubes, or handle the brush, as steadily as the best and deftest of fingers could handle it. Very much unlike any of us, he was most punctilious in the care he bestowed on his paint-box, as also on his personal appearance.
