The audacity of chicken thieves
is extraordinary, as frequent
stories in the newspapers go to
prove. The Rambler knows a
family who haye fancy for
raising ine chickens. The fowls
can't be kept in the fowl-house
of nights; they fly up in the trees
and onto the fences The other
night the place was raided by
the boldest rascal in this Sec

ems that were roosting in sight
of a side porch on which a coup
lie of young lovers were sitting,
looking at the moonlight and
listening to the soft voices of the
night.
The thief began his work by
picking out the tender frying
size chickens, working coolly
and carefully in full view of the
young folks on the sporch. The
young man shouted to him and
threatened to shoot. tsYou go or
with your loving-I'm after
chickens, not you" answered
the thief. The young man was
paralyzed with ang er and couli
! not moye.
