This Rooster Wore a scarfptn.

The crack chicken story comes from
the kitchen of the Golden Eagle hotel
at Reading. 1t concerns an energetic
young rooster that crowed and grew fat
while carrying in it's gizzard a stickpin
nearly two inches in length, the sharp
point of which had worked through the
muscular second stomach of the fowl
and protruded a quarter Of an inch on
the outside.
Josiah Barnes, the second cook at the
Golden Eagle, was engaged in cleaning
a lot of fowls preparatory to cooking
them for the Sunday dinner. While
handling a particularly fine, fat, young
rooster something pricked his hand.
He made an investigation and found a
sharp pointed instrument protruding
through the gizzard. He cut open the
organ and was surprised to find stick
pin therein. The pin was mounted
with diamond shaped piece of pearl
on which was a gold letter wv"
The young rooster had probably OBJ
served the piece of pearl and, believing
it to be an extra fine pebble with which
to digest its food, had made the mis-
take Of swallowing threading Search

and with tears in her pale blue eyes,
'Kill me, if thou wilt, o king" she

thee not at ALL" A whole month /
wooed her, disdaining force, and she
said no more. Then she cast her eyes
upon Kales, the captain of the guard,
and cared less than ever for me.
"Take her to the deathsmen," COM

die" Lest I should break a kings
word l rode to the great temple far
away. But could not sleep for the
thought of her great blue eyes, wide
with fear. So l rose and babe them
harness the swiftest horses to the light
est chariot, and Charmicles drove for
me, whose hand was lightest upon the
reins. All the night we sped in the
moonlight, with the sand flying in long
clouds behind us and the great pyra-
mid scowling upon us from afar.

asked, "and she loved not thee"
eff l loved her a little" he said,
'haply she would perish, o lord"
Sand if thou lovedst her much" He
looked at the moon 1eeting through
the clouds for long time, and his face
grew sad.

chance should set her free"
L covered my head IN my robe and
said nothing. Was not racing the
flying hours to open her prison doors?
Ra, the sun god, sprang up anG
laughed upon the land, and Charmicles
wiped the sweat from his brow and
ceased to strike the horses as they
painted and struggled to the base of
the great pyramid where the prison
was.
And, behold, they had tortured her,
and she had died in the night!
So l went back to the temple and
dwelt alone. Presently made a spell,
from my arts, that might be reborn
