was surprised to find the hen missing
and the eggs gone, and i'm their stead y
huge rattleonake comfortably cOilctl up.

snakeship she procured spade and
pinned his head to the ground. Then,
with . rake, tile tail was drawn out and
fastened down to prevent weighing. A
pen-knife soon split the reptile from
head to tail and the eggs were taken
out. Being well washed they were
placed under the same lien, and eventu-
ally every one Matched out and the
chickens grew and tllrived. We regret
that u strict regard for truth comlels ~
to say that the hen was not swallowed
nor were the chicks marked with .
