If in the days OF Columbus all the
eggs had been like those laid by
one of six Black Minorcas owned by
Hugh j. Lettimore of Al Clinton
street. Newtown, N. j., the great dis.
coverer would never have been able
to do that famous egg trick.
And the reason is that one of Let.
timore's six Minorcas lays an egg
that is perfectly fiat at one end and
may easily be set upright. Except
for this the egg is like any other bit
of hen fruit

ago. Lettimore. who says no one has

about Richards advice. And as he

didn't. He didn't know that he cared

he stuck to his desk another week
One evening he sat at his window
and looked out on the hot street and
remembered how a month ago on a
soft May night he had walked with
Rose Carey and told her all his heart.
She had half yielded, she did care,
but she was not sure she-wanted to
be-married just yet. And she did
not love anybody else, oh, no! And
finally she let him have one small but
rapturous kiss, and consented to wear
the little old silver ring that was his
mothers. But-they weren't exactly
engaged-not quite. He had told her
that he was engaged to her, anyway,
and that he would wait for her to
know her own mind. After that Eaton
had come out to see the Calls, and
had stayed. and stayed, and finally
sent for his car and motor-bo and
all the rest. From the first he had
devoted himself to Rose.
Still Frederic stubbornly stayed in
town, even Sunday. He stopped writ
