Tony would never more move the gigantic
legs that had been his pride and the jest of
the neighborhood.
She cut him down to an ordinary mans al
lowance of wine, and she counted every
spoonful she put into his mouth, and while
she fed him she taunted him with his utter
uselessness.
Yet he was contented enough when she let
him alone, lying in his little bed, making
from time to time one of the few motions that
was left TO him-a slight shifting of his pom
derous body to the right or to the Ieft-and
listening TO catch through the partition the
sound of familiar voices in the tavern-room
OF Tony's three closest companions. the
long cabinetmaker, the little apothecary, and
the crooked matchmaker, only the third dared
stand up against the RACES of Ma'am Tony
Prosper Horslaville was his name, and he
was the acknowledged leader and chief of
the trio. He did not hesitate to chaff Ma'am
Tony to her face, and would make her literal
dullness the but of his ingenious malice

had hatched out at once, and as the last was

and almost deyoured it with his beaming
eyes.

He rolled his great body right and left,
positively refusing to perform the function of

"All right" said his wife dryly, 'no eggs.
no dinner! Not bite or sup but bread and
water do you get until you hatch those eggs.
Noontime came and the steam of Tony's
favorite soup spread its perfume upon the air,
rich with spicy, enticing hints Of garlic. bay
leaf, sage, and tarragon. By his side were a
crust of stale bread and cup of water.
In the kitchen hard by Ma'am Tony moved
about preparing the dinner, silent. obdurate,
deaf to his remonstranees and entreaties.
Tony held out until he heard the grit of her
chair upon the floor and the clink of her
spoon in the soup plate.
Then he succumbed, sold his manhood for
mess of pottage, and became a human hen.
The era of henhood had set in for Tony; his
life was now given over to Matching. Rigid
and still he lay, stretched upon his back. his
eyes fixed upon the ceiling, breathing softly,
as though he were afraid of prematurely wax
ing his little charges.
Once he broke an egg, and that day he had
no dinner. This was unnecessarily severe pun

The mere thought of Tony was an offense

mean little soul.
Although each glass he drank sold two
more, Ma'am Tony could never bring herself
to see that il was only one way of turning
over capital, and bitter rage burned in her
heart.

roars OF laughter. although the Jokes were

The tavern roysterers pounded the table
in their delight. and the old woman would

you make him hatch eggs?"
Ma'am Tony started, uncertain whether he
was making fun of her.
''That's what I'd do" went on Prosper,
without the slightest movement Of his facial
muscles that could detract from his aspect Of
perfect seriousness. ''Id make him hatch
eggs. Now, you take a setting of eggs the

A week later Ma'am Tony entered her hus-

that she was in earnest, he demonstrated
against the indignity that she offered him,

ishment The pangs of conscience troubled
Tony quite enough
For he had begun to take a strange inter
est in his new occupation, and before long he
was even little jealous of the yellow hen
who was sitting out in the barnyard.
To some extent he resumed his old position
as an attraction to custom. The news Of his
field of usefulness spread far and wide, and
people came from everywhere to make the
purchase of a drink an excuse for a peep at
the colossus of eggs, as Prosper now chris
tened him.
One day his wife came in to tell him that
the yellow hen had begun to hatch already. A
thrill of delightful anxiety ran through Tony's
frame How many would he have?
But Tony was not long behind his feath-
cred rival. Just about supper time little.
faint, far-away sound of tapping caused
Tony to cry aloud in uncomfortable glee.
The news began to spread instantly. In
five minutes the streets of Tournevent We're
full of people hurrying to the tavern, and in
a short time the one public room was crowded
with excited drinkers, chattering, laughing
and betting bottles of wine and glasses of
brandy on the relative success of Tony and
the yellow ben.

It's q simple enough tale TO tell, so far as
the story goes. 1t is about a great big. fat,
good-natured, gluttonous, simple-minded
innkeeper, who kept a famous little tavern in
the town Of Tournevent, in Normandy.
Far and wide in the valley in which it
nestles, the tavern. which bore the sign of
The Cup, was known for its honest wine
and its marvellous hot-spiced dishes. delicious
concoctions, but so covered with pepper and

tears TO the eyes.

attraction as his wines and his deviled dishes.
