HIS CHICKEN FARM
~ IsAsEL wEsTovER PRICE.

Copyright. 1915. by W. G. Chapman)
Just as they do in the story books.
Farmer Levi Drury approached his
son on his twenty-first birthday posed
and prepared to act the old type, ex-
acting but indulgent parent.
"Justus," he observed smartly, you
know my system: to throw the grown
birds out Of the home nest to shift for
themselves when the time comes. I've
done 1t with your brothers. They've
done me proud, too, bless EN-! You're
the last. Don't spoil the record"
mo. sir, I won't" asserted Justus
soberly. but love the old home"
take this one hundred dollars"
proceeded old Levi, ignoring sentiment
and sticking close to hard practical
facts. Make 1t the nest egg for q
home Of your own"
So, fortified with more ready cash
than he had ever possessed be-
fore, fearful blessing from his moth
er and good resolutions. and bounding
ambition in his heart, Justus Drury
started down the road, dim thought
of the big bustling city with its mani
fold promises in his heart
I've got to see Violet before l 60,
that's sure" he told himself.
Violet Moore was the orphan niece
of Jabez Lincoln. farmer. It was q
poor farm and she was poor girl.
She greeted Justus with the open
candor of love and commiserated his
departure SO much that he went to
her uncle.
"Mr. Lincoln" he said manfully,
you know how much Violet and
love one another. I've got a little
money, I can surely get work around
here somewhere. Consent to our mar
riage. We are young, Industrious. and
together We will be supfemely happy,
while parted all kinds of mishaps
may come to u.s."

room cabin, IL Violets willing to take
the risk Ill give you my blessing"
That's a bargain!" cried Justus
cheerily.
"Oh, Justus!" whispered Violet
fondly, "a log cabin would be a palace
to mel"
'T'll do better than that" boasted
Justus brightly.
Il know you will One thing, though,
Justus: you are liberal and good-heart-
ed. Remember. every cent we save
now counts"
So timely and true was this, Justus
realized, that within an hour he modi-
fed his plans as to reaching the city
Whereas. he had planned q second
class journey, he now decided that
freight transit would be good enough
And no eating house extravaganza!
Justus bought big bagful Of crackers
and cheese and went down to the rail-
road switchyards on a search for free
transportation.
A train was just making up. An
empty freight car attracted him. The
chalk marks on its outside told him
that 1t was city-bound.
At each end of the car was q heap
of straw, evidently the former oaver-
ing Of brick shipment. The train
had started and Justus had begun q
frugal lunch, when there was . rustic
in the heap Of straw at the other end
of the car. A frowzy-headed fellow
emerged from the impromptu couch,
with the words:
"Hey, old pard! that looks good and
I'm hungry"
Then you're welcome to all you
can eat" answered Justus brightly
and his fellow traveller fell to with
a vengeance.
He was a good-natured rowing
tramp, one Of the sort that appreci-
ates Kindness. and during the next
two hours he RECALLED Justus with
many an interesting recital of unique
experiences.
They had got well out into the
country and Justus was seated nea-
to the half-open door, his companion
lying on his back smoking. when there
was an ominous jar.
The train had suddenly let up on
speed. At the shock Justus glanced
beyond the door. His eyes bulged

curved, he saw half a dozen cars

his feet.
Head over heels both went tumblink
down the grass-clad embankment.
They sat up at its bottom somewhat
bruised, to stare in awe as the car
they had left met the jam ahead and
was splintered to fragments.
Il say" shuddered the tramp, you
grabbed me just in time. Thanks!"
Two hours later the queerly-matched
twain stood near the center of the
wreck, interested in what they saw.
A great car full of grain had left the
train, striking rocky embankment
base, it's golden contents scattered
over the ground like an exhausted
avalanche.
The wrecking train and an inspec-
tor had arrived. The tramp had been
acting reflective and calculating for
some time
Wish I had a fair cash stake" he
observed longingly.
What's the idea?" questioned Jus
tus.
why. there's the inspector going
over things. I've been In this kind of
wrecks before. See that car Of grain ?"
"Yes?"
And the wrecked chicken car with
about half its freight killed? Well,
that's wreck salvage. hard for the com.
pany to handle. II was a Spectator.
I'd buy the stun offhand. It can be
got for trifle"
But what would you do with 1t -
well, by hook or crook I'd find
some old shed or barn that I could
rent and take care of the truck"
Look here" said Justus, after q
moments meditation, Il have little
cash. If you think there is something
to be made here, I'll invest"
you will" cried the tramp read
lily. Leave 1t to me, then"
He was gone an hour and came
back with shining eyes.
Say" he reported, I'm able to
make a dandy arrangement to start a
regular chicken farm. Now, let me
decker with the Inspector"
Seventy dollars would buy the sal
wage, provided the screened boxes of
the chicken cars were denuded of
their contents within twenty-four
hours.
What an afternoon and night they
had of it! Less than half mile dis
tant the tramp had located a little
cabin that had been vacated by its
owner for more pretentious resi-
dence. It had sheds and a stable.
Its owner would lease the outfit for
a trifie. He loaned them a wagon.
BY noon the next day eighteen hun.
dred live chickens had been trans
ported to the new Chicken farm %
The grain they could remove at their
leisure
1T feels good to be respectable and
earning money declared the tramp
a week later.
They had fixed up the old cabin till
it was coy and comfortable. They
had sold one thousand chickens for
four hundred dollars. With two hun.
dred dollars Of this Justus had been
able to purchase the cabin and two
acres of land about 1t.
At the end Of two months they had
q regular paying business to attend
to. The tramp seemed happy and
contented. One day Justus went back
to his home town. His first call was
upon Mr.. Lincoln.
i've got that house we bargained
about he announced buoyantly. and
it's bigger than ten by twelve"
Well. you are an enterprising young
man. I'll say that!" commended Mr..
Lincoln.
Another month spent in decorating
the old cabin. And then, there crossed
its humble threshold the happiest
bride In Christendom, to whom that
love-lighted shelter was q palace!
