cannot bark, you may be robbed or

Injunction that your restraint of the
barking. yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling

But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have to worry about what CON

TOO MUCH OF A Goo0 THING
Duck Raiser Found Pepsin of Sonsld-
cradle Value, But rs Has Dis
continued Its Use.

Refusing to eat any kind OF fooo
offered to them, Charles Koch of Port
Chester, ~ Y, concluded that his
flock of one dozen ducks had a form
of dyspepsia and decided to doctor
them himself His method was not
entirely original, for he procured pep
sin tablets and, dissolving them in
water, he contrived to get the fluid
down their throats with the aid OF
metal tube. Releasing then one by
one he sat down in the house to see
what happened.
Almost magical effects were noted.
Instead Of declining their usual pro-
vender, they ate it with avidity and
came back for more. Scraps from the
family dinner table also disappeared
in a similar manner. Delighted with
the success of his experiment Koch
administered additional doses of fluid
pepsin. Ducks eggs were one result.
But now the entire flock seems to
be always hungry That has its disa-
greeable features. Seven O'Clock in
the morning is the customary feeding
time for the ducks, but it is different
now. The ducks know where Koch
sleeps, and they assemble under his
bedroo1n window and quack in chorus
before five O'CLOCK. keeping up the
din until he throws some food to
them. Two hours or so later they re-
sumo their clamor So it goes all day.
Koch is getting eggs, but he is losing
sleep.
Take it from me-" he says. Il have
stopped the pepsin"

He went from the room and down
the hall a step or two in advance OF

breathing deep. The house stood on
an eminence; directly before It at the

stretched away in one unbroken mass

he said. and made hasty retreat to
his Office.
Betty returned to the porch and
seating herself on the top step, with
her elbows on her knees and her chin
sunk in the palms OF her hands. gazed
about her miserably enough. She was
still there when half an hour later
