Last August Aunt Rhinocolura Betz
met with serious mishap. She was
going along Main street, which is one
OF Betzville's leading thoroughfares,
when Sim Dwiggs' yellow hound dog
went insane with the heat and dashed
into Aunt RhinOcolura and bit her on
the leg. BY the greatest good luck
the dog bit her on the wooden leg in
stead OF on the other, or Betzville
might soon have had one of the swell

Aunt RhinocOlura hurried home and
caUterized the wooden leg, and hoped
for the best. but the dog died and its
head was sent to the city, and the re-

wooden leg was not integrally a part
of Aunt RhinOcOlura it would not be
necessary for all of Aunt Rhinocolura
to go to the city to take treatment.
He said it would only be necessary to
send the wooden leg. So Aunt Rhi-
nocolura did that.

We might say. and in the tender twigs
a pair of wrens had built nest and
had set up housekeeping.
Aunt Rhinocolura is one of the kind
est-hearted ladies in Betzville, and
she would never in the world have
thought of tearing down that nest and
destroying the little eggs. but she
couldn't think Of any good way in
which she could wear the leg without

that she wanted one about size eight,
and then she said she would like 1t

said the hickory one she had had was

heavy for summer use. and asked him
if he could not make a lighter one

weight, something she could wear

said it was the most comfortable leg
she had ever worn.
That was q very damp summer. and
a very busy one for Aunt Rhinocolura-
she was on her feet in the yard or
the street nearly every minute of the
dav. and she never thought of wear
ing a rubber shoe on her willow leg.
In fact. she hardly gave her willow
leg a thought until one night when
she was retiring and happened to
look at the leg. and then she saw

it cannot be happy II the tree goes

So Aunt Rhinocolura hoped back

non-sproutable leg. Then she had the
willow leg carefully removed to the
back yard and planted there. and it is
growing finely and is one of the most
interesting sights in Betzville.
