THE DAILY NOVEL ETTE
COLUMBUS AND THE EGG
by LIZZIE NJ. PEABODY

A S COLUMBUS stood in the uucarcd-

rubbish of all sorts that fine autumn
morning. his pale blue eyes wore

turned toward the next ward. which

she wore, embodied his idea of all that
was lovely. 'Tis my birthday" the
boy called out. Instantly she came over
to the old fence, which divided the
yards.
"What did you get for prcscnts?"
she asked, with eager eyes fixed upon
him.
oh, didn't get anything. Dad
says m getting too old to expect birth
day presents. I'm twelve today. you
know. and besides he hasn't had much
work lately
For all his bravery he spoke u hit
wistfully. aud Isabella suddenly ran
away from him, calling breathlcssly
over hcr shoulder: "Watch me - which
was needless. as Columbus always
watched her when she was near. She
disappeared into tiny hen coop aud
when she reappcarcd her eyes danced
with delight. Mother said I might
have the egg, she said, but YOU shall
have it for your birthday present,
and thrusting it into his hand she ran
hastily into the house. With a pleased
smile the boy walked across the yard
to the opposite fence. where a kindly
neighbor stood.
"A hirtbdoy ,roScut - ba cold mud

the truth in his sparkling eyes, and
placed the egg with the setting.
In due time Whitley paraded proudly
with her family and his neighbor agreed
to keep Brownie for while. and Co
lumbus carried to her all the scanty
table leavings; also all his spare change
for the benefit of Brownie until she
began laying eggs.
Then his father began taking an in
terCst in the affair; and built tiny
coop from packing box. Later. he
bought two moro hens, and the mex
spring, having a pronounced case q

where he had leased a small farm.

farm. '"'
All this time Columbus had been so
occupied with his work that he had had
no time to think of love: but when his
twenty first birthday came and he
started out on his usual route with
butter. eggs and poultry for sale. he
met with an adventure. He was stand

customer when a thin, pale. shabbily
