once rescued from the cat Its last drowning exploit
nearly the Of its being burned to death This
is the way it came about:
Harold shed his darling little chick out of the water
PAN and carried it. all limp and dripping into the old
fashioned brcked-out kitchen, where Hetty was busy
getting dinner She told Harold to put his chick into
box under the big wood-stove to dry and in the
meantime wash his face and hands and go into the
paror where his mother entertaining friends
She piled some wood into the stove and thoughtessy
threw the lighted paper with which she had knded the
FIRE on the hearth where Harolds chicken was
rihed to Harolds chick making its way, between
futer and rum through the wide hall that led to the
parlor, with the blazing twist of paper on 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 hrebrand in the midst of
the startled guests When the poor bird was at last
rescued, its beauty had departed and for many days
Harold was the owner Of tailess fowl
After this painful incident the whole family developed
kind Of affection for the little black chicken 1t was

bird in the world. At last it responded to their
and seemed to take little interest in life
One day baby Edith saw the old standing be-
fore semcircle of ten fluffy, blond little chicks and
she into the house and announced to her mother
that they were asking the old rooster what had become
of their little black brother.
Some weeks later as the family gathered around
the supper-table DIR. Goodwin said:
Children the fair is to be opened next month. How
many are going to try for prizes
Immediately there was such din as only bevy of
happy purposeful girls can make when each has some
thing of vital Importance to say
1t was some time before Harold's attempts to be
heard were successful
Papa,I want to send my little black rooster; may

The shout of laughter which followed Harods propo-

Certainly, my son; indeed you shall! will have
your name entered with the others.
Despite his sisters dicue and their criticisms of his
pets points," Harolds combess, tailless chicken
duly entered and to every ones amazenen except its
proud owner, was awarded a ten-doar prize. You
see turned out to be of very fine and rare breed
and the only one of its kind exhibited
1t is too bad to relate it. but Bess's beautiful white
chickens came off priceless, for in spite of their fine

mother that night it isn't always fine feathers that
