ONE PEEPING ORPHAN.

One summer morning when I was
feeding the hens and chickens no.
ticed that one of them was missing. I
thought a great deal of that hen because
she was so tame. After feeding them I
looked all around for her but could not
find her. It then occurred to me that
she had been absent for some time, and
I wondered where she could be. AS I was
looking around in the stables I heard a
caclSle upstairs. It was very hard to
climb the ladder to get UP into the hay
loft, but ventured to try it.
AS my head went up thru the door I
soon saw her standing in the hay.
I went over to her and there
what do you suppose I saw? Five downy
chickens and broken shells in the nest.
I went to touch them but the hen would
not let me. I ran into the house and the
hired man came and took them to the
chicken coop. That night we heard a
great noise in the coop. We ran out to
see what it was and there in the nest
were all of the chickens, except one;
and their mother, dead. A weasel had
gone into the coop and killed them. We.
took the motherless little chicken into
the house and kept it there until it was
large enough to get it's own food.
