The Black Chicken Received the Prize
By Emily Y. Methyen

I IAROLD GOODWIN was quite sure that there was
not another little boy in the whole world who was
as happy as he. He lived in a big old-fashoned
house, whose large pillars reaching up the peaked
roof, trunks of tall trees brought from Nor
and every spring Were given fresh coat of clean
white paint,
Harold was the next to the youngest of large family
and the only boy. Although at times he thought it
disadvantage to have many sisters, especially when
they all agreed that his face was dirty and his clothes
Also yet he loved them all dearly that he did not see
how any boy could be happy with one sister less The
Oldest Lillian the literary and artistic one of the family
wore glasses, and looked to it that Harold studied his
lessons and walked in the way he should 60 And there
was baby Edith the youngest of all Then there was
Henrietta called Hetty for short who forgot to
make special little pies and for him on the semi
weekly baking day. But Harold's favorite-his chum,
as he called her-was Bess who, although ten years
older was Just as much interested in everything which
he delighted as if she boy herself
Bess had some fine chickens which were her special
care and pride They gave her many anxious moments

The baby Immediately adopted the yelowest and uiest

changed to stiff. scraggly feathers.
Harold at once put in his claim, but Bess declared
it to be hardly fair, he had found something that was
never lost. However, as he much disappointed,
she finally compromised by giving him the little black
chick which from the first showed dscouraging ten

nearly the of its being burned to death This
is the way it came about:
Harold hshed his darling little chick out of the water
pan and carried it, all limp and dripping, the old
fashioned brickedout kitchen, where Hetty was busy
getting dinner. She told Harold put his chick into
box under the big wood-stove to dry, and in the
meantime to wash his face and hands and go into the
parlor where his mother entertaining friends.
She piled wood into the stove and thoughtessly
threw the lighted paper with which she had kinded the
fire on the hearth, where Harolds chicken was
obediently drying out A second later she was hor-
rifed to Harod's chick making its way. between

parlor with the blazing twist of its distended
wings leaving the smell of burning feathers in its wake
She rushed after it, but not before it had made its
appearance like animated frebrand in the midst of
the startled guests. When the poor bird at last
rescued its beauty had departed, and for many days
Harold was the owner of taiess fowl,
After this painful incident the whole family developed
