The next morning Little Black Hen
was surprised beyond words whom she
returned from her breakfast to find big
white egg in her nest
She made such a fuss and noise that all
the hens gathered around her and began
To ask what it was about. 81 have laid
an egg, of course said Little Black Hen
with pride.
on they all ran after Little Black Hen to
sec the wonderful egg Here it is,
said Little Black Hen, hopping up to the
side of her nest. Isn't it bcauty?"
''Nhy, it is china, said Brown Hen
as she peckcd it at you silly little
hen, wait until you are old enough to lay
real egg before you cackle again.
Little Black Hen did not believe her
beautiful big white egg was china, but
when they had all gone she pecked at it
hard ana found II WAS.
The Little Black lien walked down the
road feeling very unhappy, when she
noticed something move In a bush; she
stopped and poked in her head Before
her astonished eyes she saw nest full OF
eggs and chick just coming out OF one.
1t did not take her q second to get under
the bush and help those chicks get out OF
their shells, and IN a short time ten
beautiful fluffy little chicks stood beside
her, pCeping.
She clucked to the chicks and away
she went, proudly holding up her head
with her chicks around her. When she
entered the barnyard. Mrs White Hen
and Mrs Red Hen saw her and their eyes
opened wide.
where did she get those chicks?''
said Mrs. White Hen. They cannot
belong to her
They are very handsome chickens. =
| said Mrs Red Hen, hut OF course they
| do not belong to her"
''Whosc chicks are those?' she asked, as
| Little Black Hen strutted by.
They are mine. replied Little Black
| Hen Il told YOU | would surprise you
with 2 nest f1,ll and you would know they
! we're not china, said Little Black Hen
I knew that egg in that nest back Of the
,arn was china all the time bat didn't
ell YOU where had this one wanted
to surprise you. 50 let you think that
| was my nest +"
Little Black Hen never knew to whom
he nest or chickens belonged. but il
,ould not have been TO any Of her barn
ard friends for she kept close watch fol
several DAYS and not one went out.

LITTLE BLACK HEN.

Little Black Hen was very young and;
as she was little, she of course looked
forward to the time when she should
grow up and be as big as the other hens
in the barnyard.
But the ambition of her young life was
TO lay eggs.
Little Black Hen always walked about
with an air of great Importance. She
held her head as high as any OF the Older
ones and tried to cackle as loudly. But
cackle as she would and $ as long as she
did, not an egg did she find.
"What in the world is Little Black Hen
cackling about?' said old Mrs. White
Hen; lone would think she had nest full
of eggs
'She has found an old nest behind the
barn." said Mrs. Red Hen. "She sits
on it every day and protends she lays an
egg She is very young, you know"
Someone should put a china egg in her
nest and make her happy" said old Mrs,
White Hen. at would be n good joke. y

BOON TO ISOLATED PEOPLE
Residents Of DesoIate Pitcairn island
Get Mail and Supplies From the
United States.

Thanks to the kindly impulses Of
Col. George Moran, manager of the
United States and Australasia Steam
Austrian of that line. Bounty Bay,
Pitcairn island, received its first regu-
lar mail delivery from the United
States. says Christian Science Moni-
tor. More than that, the vessel
named took on a cargo. of clothing,
tools, merchandise for the comfort and
advancement of perhaps the most iso-
lated insular population on the face
Of the globe. Many things viii be em-.
braced in the cargo with which the
islanders are wholly unacquainted, but
nothing will be discharged that is like
ly to injure them morally. It may
serve to shed some light on the SIM
pie life of the descendants of John
Adams to say that among the mer-
chandise is stock of candles, and
that these articles are expected to
revolutionize the lighting system Of,
Pitcairn, which In based on home-'
made wicks placed in shells filed with
eoconut oil. The history of Pitcairn
island is at once a tale of bold adven-
ture. mutiny. tragedy, comedy, and so
cial experiment, all rolled into one.
No possible human condition has
seemed more attractive to many peo-
pie endowed with Imagination than
that Of being cast upon lone island
and forced to make ones way against
every possible obstacle. 1t is the in
fatuating possibilities of the situation
that for centuries have made tales Of
shipwreck fascinating to millions ;
that have made the story of Robinson
Crusoe a classic, and that enchain
to this hour the interest of young peo-
pie and adults in stories of the sea.
