one object in life was to destroy her.

He threw a handful of dirt about his

she chuckled and recommended opera

Her back was toward him. and Pap
Hildreth got down on his hands and
knees and crept toward her. Nearer
and nearer he drew until the prize was
within his grasp. Oh. glory of gIories!
He reached out and, with the words
Dang you-now I've got you!" made
a grab at her. Alas that it should be
the part of man to simply propose!
! The hen sidestepped again and sought
the other side of the row of vines.
Pap Hildreth lay still and said
things to himself. He made up his
mind now that when he caught the
hen he would pluck her feathers out
one by one and tie her down to a bed
of ants. And he would catch her. This
he vowed.
"Chookie. chookier' he cried. softly

Just at this juncture flock Of sheep
came round the corner of the shed and
gazed wide eyed at the strange sight
of fat little man tanning the air with
his legs. The proud leader of the
flock went forth to investigate. Reach

Pap Hildreth, this particular sheep
received a kick under the jaw that
made him see all kinds of green and
blue balls and stirred deep resentment
within his breast.
Accordingly he backed away and

"'1~1AIN'T cause don't think he's
good enough. Tommie's the
best man ever had OH this
farm. 'Tain't cause of that
er anything else, only he can't have
mOrnin'.''
Pap Hildreth finished filling the old
brown basket with potatoes and arose
stiiily from his knees. There was Il
peaceful. satisfied look on his scanned
face as he wiped his dirty hands OH
his freshly washed overalls and let his
eyes roam about him.
"Tm comfortable" he said, address
ing the old drab hen that was III
dustriously pecking holes in the MEL
low red tomatoes just beyond. I'm
comfortable we'll fixed"
The hen turned her back upon him
and sent spray of dust over the low
wire fence with the unerring aim Of
her kind directly in his face.
The dirt settled in his hair and
beard, and Pap Hildreth set his basket
down and wiped his mouth on his
sleeve.
Now, he, Pap Hildreth. was model
farmer not only to his family, but to
everything on the farm. To this par
ticular drab hen he had always been
kind and indulgent. Time out Of num-
Der had he let her offenses 60 unpun-
ished only because his heart was big
and he could overlook little mistakes.
She was a nuisance, too; he confessed
it to himself now as he spat the grit
out from beneath his teeth and watch
ed her destroy whole punches of red
tomatoes. She had never acted like
other hens that he could remember
| and his acquaintance with hens was
large. She had never laid an egg IN
her life. She had simply stood around
| with proud, defiant air and waited
for the other hens to do their work
Then she would proceed to clean up
on the fruits of their labor. She ate
the eggs. She was an aristocrat-no
doubt of that She was big and fat
and sleek. Her comb was red as
blood. and she fairly danced and
pranced about. she was so full of life
and spirits.
"You sure do seem to be enjoyin'
life." continued Pap Hildreth, coming
over to the fence and looking over.
Tie smiled at the hen from his lips and
heart and one eye. The other had a
gravel chip in it and couldn't smile.
Pap Hildreth kept 1t closed.
The hen lifted her head and listened
without turning. Then she put her
head impudently on one side and said
something sotto voce.
A red flush stole up across Pap Hill
dreth's already red neck and face.
IF she didn't say devil as plain as !

hen in gentlemanly way. He had
simply said. I'm comfortable we'll
fixed" and that was all-nothing
about such remark for hen to take
objection to, and he knew 1t.
He didn't like it a bit, but he simply
grinned feolishly and turned to pick
up his basket.
Then the drab hen said something
that fairly made his short hair bristle
something that even he could not let
go unchallenged. He heard it distinct
ly and knew there was no mistaking.
He returned to the fence. his heavy
eyebrows knitted in a frown. and the
hen turned and faced him. For mo.

colors. Through the fence she went,
and through the fence Pap Hildreth
followed, putting like steam engine.
Across the potato patch they raced
and down the path to the barnyard.
The hen dashed around the straw
stack, and Pap Hildreth. with the su.
perior wisdom of mankind, circled the
stack in an opposite direction so as to
meet the drab hen on the other side.
She came sailing around, her head
over her shoulder and her wings sprea6
wide. Pap Hildreth made a grab for
her and tumbled pellmell over a fam
lily of little pigs half hidden in the
straw
He was too much out of breath to do
any damage to the small pigs; other
