The talk was rui.aing on perils of the

Ut is true. What does a story amount to

II was down in Indiana county the

old hen hobbling about in a very awk.

might the hen froze her leg off. Ipitied
her. I n%ursedkher and doctored her up
and she finally got well. But she
couldn't walk on one leg. So | just
stuck a clothespin on the stump of her
leg, tied a string around it to hold it on
and she does very well with it.
"'Well, well,' 1 said, if that isn't

Eyes replied the good lady, with a
smile, but that isn't the strangest part

".No, indeed! The strange part Of It
happened afterward, and n would
scarcely believe it if n hadn't seen it
with ones own eyes. This spring that
hen with the clothespin leg wanted to
hatch. Ididn't think she could. 'Fraid

But I kind o. pitied her, cause she vas

She stuckright to her business for three
weeks and never broke an egg-hatched
