 An Ancient Bay State Hen.
 A story that appeared in The Bull lettn recently about a 27-year-oId hen at Dayville has been the cause of giv- ing birth to a number of rival stories about hens Of advanced years. Here's one from Brook1eld, Mass.
 According to Fire Engineer Walter B. Howe, the much-talked- of 12-year- old hen owned by his brother, Irving c. Howe, a Spencer barber, that Is sup posed to have laid an egg every day this year is not the hen Brother Irv- ing thinks it is.
 MT. Howe says: The Rhode Island Red my brother thinks he has is in my henhouse, where it has been since it was matched 12 years ago. This breed of hen has been in the Howe family 36 years, the grandmother of the much -talked-of being matched while we lived in Maine. She lived to be 1S years old.
 The mother of the hen was matched at my home and lived to be Il years old. A peculiartty of this strain of hen has always been that no matter how many eggs were placed under them for matching, they would only hatch one chick and sometimes not any. The grandmother the mother and present hen did not begin to lay until they were three years old and always stopped when they were g years old.
 It appears that some time since MT. Hewe's brother wanted to trade for the remarkable old hen, so a trade was made. When the brother came to get the hen Mir. Howe was not at horne, so the brother picked out the one he thought was '1t" This selected heA was five years Of age and had never laid an egg AS the old hen didn't lay

T do iiRen you to Milt McBriar What in heavens name is the differ ence between you? He kills your vas sals and you kill his. Both of you do 1t by the proxy of hirelings and from ambuscade. In this house 8 man lies dead-dead for no quarrel of his own, but because of your quarrel with Milt McBriar. But it seems that's not enough. You must enlist the son of the dead man into life that will have the same end for him. You bind him apprentice to your merciless code of murder,
 Her hands were clenched and her eyes burning with her tempest of rage When she stopped speaking the man inquired once again Are ye through now?" But Juanita threw both her hands out and continued:
 You have taken the boy-very well. I mean to take the girl. ] shall try to undo in her and in her children the evil you will do her brother, l shall try to give the fam fly one unblighted branch. Unless you kill me, l shall stay here and fight. I'll fight you and your enemy Me Briar alike, because you are only two sides of the same coin I'll try to take the ground out from under your feet and leave you no standing room outside states prison. Dawn shall learn the things that will, some day, set this coutnry free"
 Mrs McNash was looking up vague ly, but her thoughts were still far away. and this outpouring of speech near at hand meant little to her
 Juanita, as she finished her wild peroraticn, fell suddenly to trembling Her strength seemed to have gone out of her words. Her knees seemed too weak to support her. and for the first time in her life, as she looked into the face of Anse Havey, ominous- ly blanched with rage. she was phys- cally afraid of man.
 His eyes seemed to pierce her with the stabs of rapiers, and in his quiet self-repression was something omi- nous. For moment he did not permit himself to speak, then he thrust a chair forward and said in level. toneless sort of voice: If yere all through now. mebby ye'd better sit down. Such eloquence as that's liable ter tire ye out right smartly."
 The girl made no move to take the chair. and Anse Havey took one step forward and pointed to it. This time his voice came quick and sharp. like the crack of a mulewhip.
 Sit down, tell ye. I've got just few words ter say my own self"

the latter rose and laid one hand on the shoulder which had begun to trem. ble. Man and boy looked at each other. eye to eye, then the elder of the two began to speak. "Jeb, don't want ye to think I don't feel for ye, but ye don't khow who the feller is, an ye cant hardly go shootin' permiscuous. We've got to bide your time"
 But" interrupted the boy tensely, you knows. You knows everything hyarabouts In heavens name, Anse, I hain't askin' nothin out of ye but jest one word Jest speak one name, thet's all l needs"
 The mother had dropped back into her stupor again, and her son stood there, his broganed feet wide apart and his whole body rigid and tense with passion.
 Anse Havey once more shook his head
 No, Jeb," he said quietly; "1 don't know-not yet. The McBriars acted on suspicion-an' they killed the wrong man. Ye ain't seekin' to do likewise, be ye? Ye ain't quite twenty one, Jeb, an I'm the head of the fam fly. reckon yed better take counsel of me, boy l ain't bent on deludin' ye, an ye can trust me.

 "Oh!" she exclaimed in a low voice, and her face flushed wrathfully. Whom does your land belong to?" she demanded after a moments silence. Are you bondman to Bad Anse Ha- vey? Isn't your property your own?"
 He looked away and rummaged in his pockets for a few crumbs of leaf tobacco, then he commented with the dreary philosophy of hopelessness: Hits Gods blessed truth thet a feller hyarabouts is plumb lucky es long as his life's his own"
 So, she told herself, Bad Anse had begun his war with boycott. She could not even buy foothold on which to begin her fight. Back there in the Philadelphia banks lay enough money. she bitterly reflected, to buy the coun- try at an inflated price, to bribe it's courts, to hire assassins and snuff out human lives. yet, since the edict of one man carried the force of terror, she

 As the bright greens of June were scorched into the dustier hues of July and the little spears of corn grew taller. she began to feel conscious of a certain drawing back, even of those who had been her warm admirers. and to notice scowls on strange faces as they eyed her.
 Somewhere a poison squad was at work. Of that she felt sure. and her eyes flashed as she thought of it's au- thorship. Each day brought her new warnings offered under the semblance of kindness and friendship.
