bottles and packages. 81 am Miss
Jane Smith, Frank, agent for these
poultry remedies, which I am driving
about the country introducing among
intelligent poultry farmers. I shall
get into the Lawrence chicken yards,
and come away again without any
trouble, thank you. But I should like
the constable to be at the end of the
lane, ready to come in a little later"
''I'11 get Dick Williams to tend the
station" said Frank, "and drive over
with you past the constable's; and
he'll hitch up and follow us to the
Lawrence place, and you can drop me
in the lane when we get there Then

'Oh, I shall be glad enough to have
you within reach,'' said Dorothy, frank
ly. II do feel a little queer at the
idea of-thieves But [ know they
won't suspect me or give me any
trouble"
Nevertheless, it was a somewhat
timid young agent who hitched her
horse at the Lawrence gate, having
left young man down in the lane be-
hind the hedges waiting for Consta-
bic Parry's slow old mare to come
along.
II have some very good poultry
remedies here" she began, taking a
couple of bottles from her box as a
rough looking youth come from
round the house. ''If your chickens
suffer from roup, have a special an
tiseptic mixture here which is an I'm
failing remedy. I am introducing al
SO cholera preventative and curative,
to be mixed in soft food, and
Jim might like that roup medicine.
He fancies them sort of things said
the lad. Come this way, Miss" and
Dorothy and her bottles were escorted
around a corner to the chicken yards
suspiciously small for the amount of
poultry shipped
Here are some Plymouth Rocks, fat
and placid, and group of buff Wyan-
dottes; and plenty of Leghorns in the

them, one after another, and killing
them as if for market.

Cassandra kindP'
1t certainly was. Two mornings
later the chicken yard lay desolate-
not one cherished Leghorn left. There
were wagon tracks in the lane, in
the soft places left by the rain. But
they told nothing, and were soon lost
on the beaten highroad A piece OF
newspaper was found near the gate.
But it was only scrap of the local
paper, the Warrendale Gazette, and
had no indentifying mark whatever.
''Dan," said Dorothy, will you let
me have the light buggy and Rex"
"What for?"
"Never mind"
Don't you want me to go along"
"No, thank you" Dorothy disap-
peared into the house. She drove off
five minutes later with a mysterious
box, carefully brought out and packed
under the seat by her own hands.
"I'm going to take dinner at Cous-
in Mary's, in town." she said, and Dan
was left to conjecture her errand as
best he might Of two things, how
ever, he felt equally sure. One was
that she was after the chicken thieves;
the other was that she would not find
them.
''Dot might as we'll be going to
sewing circle; but then, it diverts her
mind from her loss" said the young
philosopher, and went off to dig the
potatoes.
Young Frank Evans, station master,
ticket seller, telegraph operator and
freight and express agent of Mildly
Junction, six miles away, thought
Dorothy the prettiest girl in the town
ship as she drove up to the platform.
He had thought SO since they went
to school together in pinafores.
Perhaps Dorothy knew it, too At
any rate, she came to him prepared
to rely upon his utmost assistance.
"Frank," she began, as he hitched
Rex for her, ''do you ship many
crates Of poultry from here, or bar
rels Of dressed poultry?'
eyes, I ship a good many said
Evans. 'Why do you ask?''
''I've just had all my white Leg
horns sto1en-forty of them. Every
one round here is losing chickens.
Now those chickens have to be mar
keted somewhere-and not around
here. It's fifty miles to the city, which
is the safest place to market them.
If I stole chickens, I'd freight them
down, dressed and packed in barrels.
So I thought if anybody round here
was doing the thieving the
thieves, whoever they are, take the
local paper, and certainly do know this
part Of the country as we'll as their

Shipments
"That's a first rate idea,' said the
young man. "But I don't remember
any special shipper of dressed poul-
try in barrels. The Walter boys pack
that way, but I guess we're not sus-
pecting them! Mrs. Dixon sends a
barrel now and then. So do the peo-

Dot!'
Dorothy looked up from the cook
ing stove eyes, I'm expecting the
thieves she said 'They're coming
to this corner of the township, of
course. My white Leghorns aren't
any safer than other peoples chick
ems. But" and she Strengthened her

with brotherly contempt. "They cut

''I'm not planning to keep them

said Dan, laughing. "What good will
it do then, Dot? Girls aren't a Bit

''Lots Of things have to be theory
before they're practice" returned
Dorothy. "Wait and see.''
That afternoon Dan heard a great
cack1ing and commotion among the
chickens Dorothy was treating them
to "some of her notions as her
brother expressed it.
you'll have complexion washes
for those pullets of yours next" he
said, teasingly, looking in on her as
she stood beside a pail of some sticky,
paint-like substance, dipping each
Leghorn's legs in it, amid chorus
OF protesting clucks and squawks.

methodical1y and busily catching and
dipping the Leghorns.
They were plump, pretty creatures,
the best flock, although small one,
in the neighborhood. Dorothy had
taken infinite pains with them, as
Dan knew, and kept every remedy
and mixture on the market for them.
The meanness of the chicken thieves
came over him as he saw his sister
among her petted flock.
Il declare, those fellows ought to
be shot, stealing honest peoples chick
ens?' he cried warmly.

the last Leghorn pullet to shake out

its Minorca hued legs.

ing perplexed. ''But these chickens
have got to get to market, Frank,
somehow I've started to hunt this
country over ill I find what's become
Of them. I guess I'd better drive to
the other stations up and down the
road. They'd be likely to choose a,
stupid agent to ship through, SO I
don't wonder they keep away from
here"
Then she flushed at having paid
Frank a compliment, and Frank
flushed, too, with pleasure, for he
knew that his pretty schoolmate never
said things unless she meant them.
1t put him on his mettle
'But see here, Dorothy, why do
you have to drive up and down the
road? What's the matter with my
telegraphing instead? Come in and
sit down, and I'll get you all the in
formation you want in half an hour"
So Dorothy sat and listened to the
clicking wires, and took some brief
notes on a telegraph pad that Frank
pushed over to her across the table.
"Wagner, at Dorrance station, says
that the Lawrence farm sends a bar
rel now and then and crate ,occa-
sionally The Widow Ransom is the
heaviest shipper-sends both crates
and barrels. Jones, at Pond station,
says Hank Janeway ships a barrel
sometimes; so does the Lawrence
farm. The Browns send a crate now
and then-white Leghorns and Ply
mouth Rocks. Collins, at Pelham
Junction, says that Mrs. Robinson
ships more than anybody else, but
Jim Henry sends a barrel or a crate
now and then, and so does the Law
renee people-Plymouth Rocks, most
ly. King, at Bellevue station, says
everybody sends in crates, except a
barrel now and then from the Law
renee people and Sally Walker
Frank leaned back and whistled
softly. Dorothy smiled and pushed
the telegraph pad under his eyes.
Five undertakings marked the name
Lawrence repeated in each of the
five reports from Mildly, Dorrance,
Pond, Pelham and Bellevue.
"You clever grip said Frank.
You've got hold of the right end. No
honest poultry farm ever shipped
that much to the city, and through
five different stations in small lots.
But supposing it's so, how are we 60
ing to prove it? The man doesn't live
who can identity an ordinary white

"But the girl does!' cried Dorothy,
triumphantly. 'Since day before yes

forty Leghorns with absolute certainty,

one Of them, in fast black that won't

Frank Evans lay back in his chair
and laughed delightedly.
