London.-There dwells in Lewisham
an aged hen which, having spent her
life in fruitful works, has retired in
comfortable possession of an old age
pension. t, ss. j.
al She is 18 years of age, and after a
long and honorable career as a layer
OF eggs she is spending the autumn
OF her life in peaceful seclusion.
Two tried and trusted friends she
possesses-Mrs.. Beadle, benevolent
woman of SO, who provides her with
board and lodging, and fluffy, a Per.
sian cat.
Polly" said the aged woman, with
a loving glance in the direction of her
feathereds protege, "has been my chief
companion for many years now, and
I don't know how shall feel if I out.
live her.
I'VE have been together now for
sixteen years." she went on. MY SON.
in-law picked her up as an odd lot
at sale, and brought her home to me.
We were friends from the start, Polly
and 1, and she always spent good
deal of her leisure indoors with me.
II found that she was much sought
after by the local cats-in early life
she was constantly being snatched
from the jaws of death, for she was
ever hen with a taste for freedom,
and could not abide to stay in the
garden rum
so bought a Persian kitten and
brought her up to be Polly's com.
panion and protector They are fine
friends now, Polly and Tuffy, and gen.
orally sleep together before the fire
here.
"Bute Polly'sj love Of freedom has
created another danger for her. The
garden is large-spacious for any hen
of atless Independent spirit than Polly
but she refuses to confine her daily
walks within it's bounds, and prefers
the railway line which passes beside

with fluffy before the i fire until 4
o'clock. Then she gets up, stretches
her limbs, and orders supper.
. Polly has on. idiosyncrasy. She
hates children. Poor soul, she never
had any chicklings of her own, and
the sight of human child enrages
her. When one approaches she always
hurriedlya leaves: the house with be-
coming dignity, and does not return

mlstakable terms that they won't

OF Friday and Saturday stand repudi;

use of his money to bolster up a dis

llcans were so disguised at the fight

refusal to agree to any terms Of peace
