If she had doubted, if she had
ever in the last few hours looked
with misgiving upon what she felt

Stella nodded. She, too, had

An empty beach greeted them at
Tumbling creek. Reluctantly Stella
bade Barlow turn back. 1t would
soon be dark. and Barlow said he
would be taking chances of piling
on the shore before he could see it
or getting lost in the profound black
that would shut down on the water
with daylight's end.
But by luck Barlow made his way,

"All right. I guess you know the
path better'n I do" Barlow said.
"I'll take the Bug around into the
bay"
Stella ran up the path. She
halted halfway up the steps and
leaned against the rail to catch her
breath; then she went on. Her step
was noiseless, for tucked in behind
a cushion aboard the Waterbug she
had found an old pair of her own
shoes, rubber soled, and she put
them on to ease the ache in her feet
born of thirty-six hours incasement
in leather. She gained the door

ILife'sProblems
Are Discussed

Why chicken crosses the road
and one refers here solely to the
barnyard fowl-remains a perpetual
riddle. But how a chicken crosses
the road is known to all who ever
travelled a country turnpike.
The chicken may be peacefully
peckng in the ditch at one side or
may be indulging in a dust bath in
the center of the roadway; it makes
little difference. She pays not the
slightest heed to the approaching
juggernaut = motorcar or horse
drawn vehicle. as the case may be
until it is fairly upon her.
Then, at the last minute. with a
sudden squawk of alarm, she lifts
her head and scuttles for safety. But
never does she choose the rational or
convenient way to get there. The
longest way around is always the
shortest way home for her.
Invariably she dashes to that side
of the road which is farthest away
from her, and invariably she escapes
being crushed under the revolving
wheels, If she escapes at all, by the
skin of her teeth; and, as a meta
phor. the skin of a hens teeth rep
resents about the narrowest margin
possible.
The chicken is an adoring wife
and a devoted mother and has many
other excellent qualities, whether
broiled. roasted, fricassed, fried, or
en- casserole; but it has never been
noted for it's wisdom. In it's mental
composition brains are largely sub
verted to mere temperament and
EN- motion.
Women are generally regarded as
the sex which furnishes the great
est humber of human prototypes of
the chicken and which most largely
shares its peculiar characteristics.
But this may be for the same reason
that the "fiivver" is said to figure
in more accidents than any other
make of automobile. There are SIM
ply more "fiivvers." and there are
more women in evidence usually in
the places where people do congre-
gate.
Individual for individual, there are
quite as many chicken-brained men
as chicken Drained women; and
chicken-brained men exceed the
chicken-hearted women by a large
majority.
Men quail before the lordly
waiter. They hesitate to exchange
things at shop, no matter how
much displeased they are with their
bargains. They haven't the courage
| to say to the saleswomen: Show
me something cheaper, please" They
allow themselves to be browbeaten
and overruled by some little slip OF
domestic tyrant weighing less than
ninety pounds. They are slaves to
convention and accepted form. Won
an is the original stormy rebel. She
never fails to uphold her rights and
privileges. From the time of Eve
she has disdained all signs reading
"Verboten!"
And here perhaps is another rea-
son why she is accused of chicken
it's" Mans cowardice often serves
to conceal his lack of a balance
wheel. He sits tight and refuses tC
take a chance. But intrepid Isabelle
plunging recklessly ahead, newt
ably advertises her deficiency.
