He had opened the letter before her,
and read its contents. Hasty, repent

signature. He twisted the sheet of
paper in spiral shape, and deliberately
lit his cigar with it.
Vera had sat in silence, watching the
paper curl into a brown, scorched
ruin, and the color had left her
face.

He had not answered her. There

He was watching the hammock

Pearl was between them on the rug,
heels in air, watching the kitten juggle

over the two. and she read it through

"Hugh?" she repeated. Hugh?

letter. Hugh? Her twin brother. Ex-

CHICKENS WITH
TAILS TWENTY
FEET LONG

Japan and Korea have most re-
markable breed of chickens. such as
are known nowhere else in the world.
They have been brought to their pres
ent wonderful state of perfection by
more than thousand years of careful
breeding and Improvement.
These chickens are like our own
chickens in body. Their plumage Is
exceedingly gorgeous, but what makes
them wonderful is the fact that their
tails are immense. A small chicken
will have a tail of respondent feathers
from twelve to fifteen feet long; no
breeder thinks much Of a fowl with a
tail less than dozen feet long, and
tails from twelve to fourteen feet are
common.
The Japanese breeders have the
record of one bird whose tail reached
the length of twenty feet, with a few
inches over for good measure.
These tails are almost always mag
nificent, shimmering in rich bronzes
and crimsons and gold; and the breed
ers keep them wrapped in thin rice
paper to protect them so that they
shall not be bruised or smirched.
The breeding of the peculiar fowl
began in Korea some time before the
year 1000 A. D., and for many CEN
turtles the industry was aided by the
royal house, and great honors and
riches were given to the man who
managed to breed a particularly fine
specimen. Consequently, for ages
there have been families in Korea that
did nothing generation after gener-
alton, except to breed long-tailed
fowl And naturally they became
amazingly skillful in it.
1t is supposed that the breed origi-
mated from some wild fowl, but no
one knows what it was.
In Japan the art of producing these
long tails was rewarded with extrava-
CANT generosity. In the Island OF
Shihoku, one of the biggest of the
Japanese group the ruler of the Prov
ince of Tosa, the Daimyo. used the
best tail feathers as decoration for his
spear, and every tail feather had a
deep significance, so that quite a lit
tie system of heraldry and etiquette
was built up around the long tailed
| fowl.
AS the feathers of the birds develop,
| they are made to sit on high perches,
| which are raised continually as the
| tail grows so that it shall never touch
the floor. 1t is rather hard on the
birds, and exemplifies again the old
proverb that there is no great achieve
ment without corresponding pains.
The Japanese have studied the sub
| ject so thoroughly that they have
even worked out the best foods to
| give their fowl to make them pro-
| duce the longest tails.

1t was very quiet on the veranda-
Half an hour before there had been
a tea party there, but now the table
was overturned, and the dishes scat
tered all about. 1t might have been
the finale of a Roman feast, from the
general wreck of pleasure, and the
guests lay from the hammock to the
foot of the steps in all styles of re-
taxation.
Polly Ann, the rubber lady, was I'M
der the table. Pink Baby and the
stuffed cat bore each other company
half way down the steps. The jump
ing rabbit had landed on the rail be-
side q Boston fern, and Nanny Di-
nah, and Jane. Juliette leaned with
loving usefulness on each others
shoulders down in a shady corner UNI
der the lilacs. In the hammock, with
the gray kitten cuddled costly in her
arms, was Pearl, fast asleep.
AS Dixon came up the steps, he
stopped at sight of the figure in the
hammock, and the dolls, and the tea
table. 1t brought a sudden ache to his
heart that all of Veras words had
not called there. He went over to the
hammock and kissed the flushed baby
face.
The gray kitten awakened, and
yawned with a lazy welcome in its
outstretched paws, but Pearl slept on,
and he entered the house. He heard
movement, and rustic of skirts over
head.

FROM DREAM ACTOR TO
AMERICAS GREATEST IMPRESSARIO
Story of Heinrich Conried the German Lad Who Has
Won Fame and Fortune.
BY GUY T. VISKNlSKKI.


Heinrich Conried. as a boy, dreamed
of being a great actor; to-day he is
Americas leading impresario, known
to two continents by reason of his
production of "Parsifal." And, fur
thermore. he is an actor of no mean
ability.
One day. away back in 1858, when
Mr.. Conried was five years old, he
was taken by his parents on a visit to
an aunt, who lived in the same town,
Bielitz, in Silesia, where Mr.. Conried
was born and raised. With the aunt
