been out late the night before and did
not rise from his dreams Of Pearline
till $50. AS Pearline approached the
hen-coop she felt uneasy; things did
not look right; she was suspicious,
the expression of the hen-coop was
strained and uneasy. Alas! Some one
probably Snicko Gesick, RolandS
treacherous rival, had been feeding
the best hen on dynamite and she HAD
laid an Internal egg. Pearline tripped
lightly upon it and almost immediate
~ thereupon an explosion rent the
air and the toe of her bed slipper. She
fell to the ground in feint, lest an
other explosion be exploded. Then
leaped out the rooster which Snicko
had trained to growl like lion ana
he prowled back and forth near Pear
lines head terrorizing her so that she
lay quite still. The ROSTERS sister
had been also trained and she siddlea
up to Pearline and began to tickle
her nose with tail feathers. Roland is
just up and beginning to think OF
Pearline. The ROSTERS sister tickles
again; Roland thinks again. the
wicked hen nearly aickles Pearline to
death. but Roland arrives just In time
and calls her off away from Pearline
with some corn.
