great-grandmother wanted some little
chickens. OF course she did not have
chance to hatch them because the
farmer drove her on her nest and took
away the eggs.
But great-great-grandmot was de-
termtned to start family and not let
the line die out.
One day she disappeared and every
body hunted for her. They looked in
the hay loft, in the cellar and even in
the dogs house, but she could not be
found, and when she did not come for
her breakfast with the others they gave
her up for lost. thinking that a fox
had carried her of.
One day, some time after that, one Of
the hens said, who Is that coming up
the road?' All the hens, and even the
rooster ran to look.
1T looks like black hen," said one,
but 1t cannot be for there seems to
be brood with this one"
1T Is black hen," said another, and
they all ran down the road to meet her.

IN draw up the spool. He then
brought 1t up almost to- the sill
when' from somewhere below, there
came hoarse yell like that of mad
dened beast. The. trick had been de-
tected.
Further concealment was useless.
He rose to his feet leaned far out,
and grasped the spool.
As he did so, there flashed up from
the window next the Jews not
spurt of fame-a bullet burned his
cheek. For one instant-the mere
fractional second the gun-fiash IL
lumined the night-he looked down
into a pair of terrible eyes-the eyes
of Colonel Bledsoe, chief of the Con-
federate secret service.
And thus for the first time, in the
lurid flash of the revolver, these two
deep and subtle. minds, these iron
hearts pitted against each other in a
silent and deadly struggle that in
volved the fate of a nation, saw dim
ly each his antagonist, perceived the
others adroit move, and felt he had

Gold Beads Revived
And Are Attractive

Gold beads are in fashion. Old strings
that have not been worn should be
brought out, and If tarnished they can
be frightened by hot soapsuds or a
good silver polish.
The newer beads are larger than the
old ones, some the size of small
marble. These are not in good taste.
A novelty is the string of alternate
plain and chased beads. Sometimes the
entire string is of incrusted gold ones
but they are hard to keep clean.
A collar effect made of rows of small
beads is becoming to the girl with a
slender throat. One of the new designs
has nine rows, each bead not larger
than an ordinary pinhead.
Gold beads are not especially becom-
ing worn next the skin, so they should
be used to brighten dark gown rather
than for a decollete frock.
