At LillianS question l sent my memory back over the afternoon Of -irs. Townsend had commented upon me resemblance of Eleanor Lincoln and the dog Fedor.
 "Oh. l know Mrs. Townsend just aaid the girl was upset at her comment" Lillian went on, but ] noticed you evaded direct answer to her. And it's your reaction l want, not Mrs. Townsend's. She has q superficial cleyerness and shes jumped to conclusion perilously near the truth. but l couldn't make any deduction from her conClu- sions."
 I flushed with pleasure at her tlattering inference and tried to make my tone judicial as l an swered.
 There was no doubt about it. The girl was not only upset, but there was real terror in her eyes when Mrs. Townsend spoke Of the resemblance. She was heroic-and adroit-however, in her attempt to disguise her agitation. l thought I was the only one who noticed her distress, but from a comment Mary made afterwards, I am sure she oh- served 1t, and now We have heard Mrs. Townsend's reaction
 Tt must have been pretty ap- parent" Lillian commented, and proves conclusively that she was upset. Then of course her sudden retraction Of her promise 10 pose for Dicky, when she found out that he wanted to draw her with her hand resting on the dogs head, cinches the fact that she has some very good reason for not wanting to call atten- ton to her resemblance to that pie ure, or to her real identity. m stake . good deal on one thing. however.

In q recent survey of health edu- cation for women. physicians havS given an outline of the various men tai types that exist iII'our population.
 Actually there are available few studies of the normal person and of his mental condition. Appar- .ntly the normal person is men, tally of an age of about fourteen years. He is likely 10 have varl- oUs physical defects, particularly of the teeth and the tonsils, of lolv structure and of vision.
 If his heredity is carefully studied. there is likely to be among his ancestors at least enc person insane. one feeble minded, one alcoholic, one syphilitic. or enc rpileptic.
 Indeed. an old aphorism has it that every family has at least one l lack sheep and at least one per son in it's ancestry who was hung ! for crime.

That Is a very true saying. To those with eyes that see the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest leave signs that can be read as clearly as a printed page. Farmer Browns Boy is one of those with eyes that see. When he had rushed out of the house at the squawking of the hens and had found the feathers of one of them in the snow and the footprints of Reddy Fox near by he had simply jumped 10 conclusions - which means that he had decided in his own mind without really looking about and trying to read signs.
 Now, as he came out from under the barn and watched Reddy becom- ing merely a red speck over toward the Old Pasture, he was not so sure as he had been that Reddy was to blame for the loss Of that plump hen. So, as soon as Reddy was out of sight, Farmer Browns Boy be- gan reading the signs that were left in the snow.
 First he went back to follow the footprints of the hens. He saw where three hens had come down from the henyard toward the back of the barn. He saw where two oi these three had run at top speed back again. He saw where the other had been struck down. Feathers still lay there in the snow. Very carefully Farmer Browns Boy stud jed that spot. First he looked for the footprints of Reddv Fox. me nearest footprints were several ie'' from that spot He could see where Reddy had crouchcd in the snow. but the snow also showed that Red dy had not jumped.
 Then Farmer Browns Boy very carefully studied the sno" rlGht around those telltale feathers. AI- most at once he saw peculiar mark in the snow, as if it had been brush ed with something. "Ha, ha, Said Farmer Browns Boy. "a big wing touched the snow right there. That chicken Was taken by a hawk or an owl, and my guess is that II was a hawk. Ifootv the Owl would not be oyer here al this hour of th" day. I do believe that Terror the GoSilaWh las come back from way TIP North If that is the cae". I shall hay" to get out my gun. | cannot have him stealing my chickens. No" I'll LOOK around bit more and s'r all that happened"
 So Farmer Browns Roy looked around q bit more and this time he looked with understanding eyes. l" Saw the lino of fox footprints com ing from the old Pastur" over 10 the barn. He saw the print Of Red dy's body in the snow, where Eeddy bad flat'cnea himself behind 'h" corner of the barn. He saw Tn" iooi- prints leading back under tn" barn When ha had seen all 'h"s" things Farmer Browns Boy clos"d his "r'+ and In his mind was q picture oI ali that had happened,
 Reddy didn't steal that chicken, said he. "but he meant 10. II" came over here and discovered that th" hens Were out ot inc h' nNat!, t' lay down back of the corner Of th" Earn and watched. II" saw 'hr"" or those silly hens com" right do" n toward him. Just as one was near enough and he was all ready 10 jump Terror tho Goshawk s"oop'a down and took that hen right from cnder Reddys nose. The other hens ran and squa wksd anl l;eddy beard iae coming. so he ran under III" barn, There's the whole story.
