An Ensanguined Relic

There is a newspaper man in town
who is a chicken fancier. His fancy
runs to white Plymouth Rocks. He
loves his pets devotedly and spends
many hours Of his spare time in con-
tributing to their well-being and
comfort, and in hanging on the poul-
try-yard gate and discOursing on the
purity OF the blue blood which pull
safes in their arteries. At present
however, the Wayfarer learns. there is
a piece OF Grape hanging ON the door OF
the poultry house, for one of the flock
has gone the way of all flesh. A night
or two ago a chicken thief invaded the
premises. He was, in a sense, a mod
est, unassuming thief, for he took but
one chicken: in another sense he was
a ghoul, for he wrung the head of the
fowl then and there, and left the en-
sanguined relic of his visit on the
ground to bring grief to the fancier in
the morning. II was a cruel thing tc
do but the thief had better not repeat
his visit. for all sorts Of deadly con
trivances await his coming.
