Karl might not be left alone. and she
felt almost grateful to AIiIlar for his

Mans Cottage on Caseo Bay.
One Of the newest and handsomest
cottages on Casco bay is that Of Frank
B. Thompson. the principal Of the high
school of commerce of Boston. which
has just been finished on Birch island,
Mass. The cottage is the largest on
the island and one of the best ar
ranged.
A most pleasing feature is the large
living room. which takes up practical
ly the entire first floor and is large
enough for fifteen or twenty couples
to dance in comfortably. A large fire.
place at the end of the room adds to
its attractiveness.
One feature of the cottage which is
greatly appreciated, by the occupants
Is the large fat roof over the center Of
the cottage. This roof is so made that
while it can be used to sit on to enjoy
the magnificent view it can during q
hot spell be lifted up. thus giving
plenty of fresh air for the Chambers.

Heroic Hens.

One does not generally ascribe hero

''The Bird Our Brother" Olive Thorne
Miller quotes Sir Edward Arnold's
story of the bravery displayed by a
hen when ferret escaped from cons
finement suddenly appeared before her.
She was in charge of a brood of
chicks. and the ferret was evidently
after something to eat
Imagine" says the narrator, "some
rural matron abruptly confronted with
dragon or foaming tiger! Terror
would paralyze her. She could and
would probably do nothing but scream.
But this fussy, foolish little Dame
Partlett fuffed ont her gallant plum
age and went for the monster so vigor-
ously, peckipg and kicking and bewil-
safely perched in a small fir tee be-
fore the dangerous beast had filled his
wicked mouth with her feathers and
angrily given up the chase.
"Our glorious order of the V c. has
been awarded for deeds which Were
the merest child's play compared to
the valor of that heroic hen."
A similar devotion was exhibited by
this universally misunderstood bird
during disastrous fire in Minnesota,
known in the annals of the state as the
Hinckley fire. When walking over the
ruins. man discovered dead hen
| sitting close on the ground. He poked
her with his foot, when she fell ovel
and disclosed a lively little brood OF
ducks. which ran out, apparently glad
to be released. She had protected them
with her own life, for she could easily
have escaped herself.

At the close Of the afternoon session
the jury box was filled and hopes ran
high that al least a majority Of those
tentatively chosen. would prove ac-
ceptable to both sides. All such hopes
were dissipated. When the suddenly
descended storm of peremptory chal-

three survivors and it was agreed that
they should be sworn as the nucleus
