grew and the more certain nothing

but the Old Orchard was not the
place for him 10 work on that egg.
In the first place. IL was too near
Farmer Browns house. This made
Blacky uneasy. You see. he had
something Of guilty conscience.
Not that he felt az all n sense OF
having done wrong. To his way OF
thinking, II he was smart enough to
get that egg he had just as much
right 10 II as any one else. particu-
larry Farmer Browns boy. Yet he
wasn't az all sure that Farmer
Browns boy would look at the mat

a feeling that Farmer Browns boy
would call him a thief II he should

eyes in the Old Orchard. He wanted
TO get away where he could be sure
OF being alone. Then II he couldn't

day, uncovers his treasures and
gloats over them and plays with
them and then carefully covers them

First Blacky took this egg over
near his home, f., and there he once
more tried and tried and tried 10

wouldn't break. not even when
Blacky quite lost his temper and
hammered IL for all he was worth.
Their he gave the thing up as a bad

II might not satisfy his stomach. but
II certainly was very satisfying to
his eyes. He forgot to think Of It

he rolled the egg over and turned II
around and admired II TO his hearts

carried Il to his treasure house and
covered Il over very carefully. And
there that china nest egg. which

this day. and Blacky still sometimes
wonders what kind OF a hen laid
