Followed Her Vanished Nest.

This story of a thrush that missed,
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster, Ireland. The bird had
built ats nest under a first-ciass car
riage Immediately yer the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution Of the summer ser
ice of trains caused trouble. The al
riage left Londonderry In the evening
at 4:40 instead Of 4:50, and when the
mother thrush, who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She al no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master apprised
Limavady Of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird. suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching Of
the eggs.

I'm thinking about Jonesville. My

Well, he made a blamed bad Job
of 1t. Why didn't he build a place a

he was about it?'
And my father kept it going"
We'll. he didn't keep it going very
fast"
And now I've got to keep my faith
with 1t. 1t is a sacred duty. I must
not abandon It,"
Say" said Wallace, in disgust.
Where did you get that stuff? Have
YOU gone out and tried to get a decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. 1t ought to be put out
of its misery"
The trust would close the plant and
ruin all these people,"
You'd think they we're first cousins,
to hear you talk about them"
Bob" Broadway chided in a soft
and earnest voice, they are far more
than that; far, far more than that.
They are charges placed by Providence
In the care Of the Jones family. And,
Bob, I'm the last of the ~Joneses."

The horny hand of some insane

"Ha, ha! Ha. hal" laughed Broad
way somewhat cacklingly.
Il think you're going to be ~violent!"
said Wallace. Hell probably need

you! Now, try to give me some CO.
