When Henrietta Hen's callers
crowded about her nest In the hay

wonderful. But when they craned

hollowed-out snuggery in the hay

burst forth with cries of surprise and
praise Henrietta Hen looked quite
unhappy. ' -
"I thought," she said, "you'd want
to see this t'KR. I'm sure you never
htMicId a bigger nor a .whiter one
than this."
They admitted that the' egg was
big and that, it was very, very white.
And if their praise was faint, Henri
etta never noticed it.
"Are ' you going to let Farmer
Green have that eggr one of the
company inquired.
"No doubt Johnnie Green will
grab it as soon as he finds my nest,"
said Henrietta with something like a
sigh. "If I could only keep this one
I wouldn't care how many others he
took." .
Polly Plymouth Rock turned to
old W'hitey, a hen who had come
with her to the haymow.
"What do you think?" Polly
asked. "lV .Henrietta in danger of
losing this egg that she thinks so
much of?"
"She needn't be alarmed," old
W'hitey answered. "If Johnnie Green
robs her of this one, I'll miss my
guess."
"Oh! I'm glad to hear you say
that!" Henrietta Hen cried. "Now
I won't need to worry that is, if
vou know what you're ' talking
about." ;' . . V..
That,' of course, was1 a most im
f polite way for Henrietta Hen to
speak to anybody of old Whitey's
age. W'hitey was the oldest hen in
the flock. ' And what she didn't
know about such things as nests and
eggs and roosts wasn't worth know
ing. - . '
Polly Plymouth Rock didn't like
Henrietta Hen's remark. She opened
her mouth. And no doubt she would
have said something quite sharp in
reply. But old Whitey stopped her.
"Never mindl" said Whitey. "The
day will come when, Henrietta Hen

one." .
Still Henrietta Hen" felt uneasy
about that big, white egg.
"I do hope Johnnie Green won't
find this new nest of mine," she re
marked. "If he does, I fear he'll
, take my beautiful egg away from
- ' me." , '
' "Lay another 1" said old Whitey.
"Lay another and he'll take that and
leave this one."
"I suppose I may as well try your
scheme," Henrietta replied, "since
nobody suggests anything better."
"My idea's a good one, or I'll miss
. my guess," said old Whitey.
There was some snickering among
Henrietta Hen's callers as they bade
her good afternoon and left her.
"They're laughing at old Whitey,"
she said to hcrsclt She hasn't the
slightest notion that they could be
giggling at her. "Old Whitey must
' be wrong," she thought. "But I may
v. as well take her advice, for I don't
. - know what else to do."
Not long afterward Henrietta Hen
came fluttering down from the hay
mow, squawking at the top of her
lungs for old Whitey. And as soon
as she found her, , Henrietta cried,
"Come up to my nest right away, I
want to ask your advjee."
Although she didn't say "Please 1"
old Whitey went with her.

WHY-
Are Signet Rings Worn? j
Possibly because of the masculine
touch apparent n . many feminine
costumes of the moment, the wear
ing of signet rings set with diamonds '
or other precious stones has been
steadily gaining favor among wom
en for the past few years, but it
should be remembered that rings of
this nature are not really "signet
rings" at all, for they are hardly
fitted for the principal use of jew
elry of this nature the making of
a characteristic signature upon seal
ing wax. .
The origin of the custom of wear
ing rings engraved with the crest
of other heraldic mark of the own
er dates back to the ancient Egyp
tians and Phoenicians, when writing
was an art that was little under
stood and the impress of the ring
was used in lieu of a signature.
Moreover, rings of this nature were
marks of authority, to be carried
by official messengers as a means
of establishing their identity and
protecting them from molestation.
Even as late as the 18th century the
transfers of all high official posts
in England and many other coun
tries was accompanied by the pre
sentation of a ring, engraved with
the seal of the oftice, while special
rings are still worn by the bishops
and cardinals of the Roman Catho
lic church. Formerly, this type of
ring was used more for "signing" or
sealing documents than as a piece
of jewelry, but of late years it has
become principally a matter of
adornment, to be affected by either
aex at will.

Why Madge Paired Dicky with
Ben Dean,
Ted Cogrove had no chance to
answer his' brother! mischievous
prediction concerning their compar.
ative catches of fish. Before he
could speak I heard Hc$ Dean
murmur softly:
"You don't care if you don't catch
many fish tonight, do you, Teddy-
kins?'
That she knew I must have heard
her, and cared no whit for my
knowledge, was patent. Masculine
opinion the only kind to which she
ever pays any attention was out of
hearing in the persons oi uickv, a
Cosgrove' and Fred. But I was
standing very near her, and I
clenched an involuntary fist in the
darkness at the wilful cruelty of the
girl. Ten years older than the lad.
versed in the wiles of a woman of
the world, Bess Dean was doing
her best to fascinate mm, ana, i
guessed, with what airy indifference
she would close the chapter of his
young devotion when she should
leave the mountains.
The boy caught his breath. I did
not need eyes to see the expression
his face held as he turned it toward
her. And when he answered her,
his voice was slightly hoarse:
"I don't care about anything in
the world except"
Fred's voice, high-pitched, tai.tal
izing, struck in:
"Cafsot your tongue. Teddyboy?
Or are you just jealous because I'm
catching all the fish? Here's num.
ber three, and in another half min
ute" "Never Mind Him."
"Shut up," Ted growled. "Every
body isn't such a nut as you are.
Go on and catch all the 1 ullheads
in the dam if you want to, but don't
spend so much time bragging about
it."
"Never mind him."
Bess Dean's voice was as caress
ing as the stroke of a violin bow in
the hands of a maestro. And I
knew that it was as effectually play
ing upon the heart-strings of the
raw country youth.
It was such an unfair thing, . I
said to myself wrathfully. It was
an experience that might spoil the
boy's whole life his trust in wom
en. With one of the sudden
Quixotic impulses which come to me
sometimes, and which 1 as otten
bitterly regret as I feel justified in
them, I resolved that I would spoil
her game in the only way that lay
open, to me.
I knew that above all things she
desired Dicky's company, and would
have traded a thousand Teds for the
chance of a mild flirtation with my
husband, especially if I knew that it
was going on. Whether or not I
would have been capable of- so Spar
tan a resolve if Dicky had not so
clearly shown his ennui at the girl's
pursuit of him I do not know. But
the knowledge of his indifference to
her, and of the imminence of the
girl's departure from the mountains,

pearance of Dicky with fishing poles
baited for him and for me gave
mc the opportunity for daring rue.
Dicky It Game.
"Ready, Madge?" Dicky's tone
held a careless, proprietary note, and
I felt a remorseful twinge at tne
thing I meant to do. But the thought
of Ted Coxgrove's mother, and more
potent still, a flash at the possible
future when some unscrupulous wo
man might feed her vanity upon my
own boy's heart, smothered my con
science. "Dicky." I made my voire as in
consequentially gay as I could.
"You know we shall certainly scran
if .we fish together. Husbands and
wives always do. It's as dangerous
as teaching each other to drive a
car. You take Bess as a partner,
and I'll stick to Ted. Then we'll
have to be polite, no matter how
many fish we girls lose, and a fine
time will be had by all."
There was an instant's silence,
broken after a second bv Fred's
raucous call. "Number four, and the
swish of a fif.li on the rocks as the
fortunate fisherman jerked his pole
back. Then Dicky spoke shortly,
almost sullenly:
"Suit yourself. Come on, Bess; if
you dare trust yourself to my tender
mercies after that recommendation."
"I don't see what else there is to
do, do you?" she answered with a
sort of rueful gaycty, and I knew
that she was conveying to Ted with
diabolical cleverness the assumption
that she would prefer his company
alone. This she was doing under
cover of a saucy retort wmcn sne
no doubt meant to pique Dicky's in
terest. '
"No. We've been paired off by a
designing woman." Dicky's voice
had lost its sulkiness, and had taken
on the note of gay ' irresponsibility
I knew so well. "Adieu, false spouse 1
You'll rue with bitter tears this
shaking me for a younger and hand
somer man."
"Good-bye. Teddy." Bess Dean
moved off at Dicky's side with a gay
wave of her hand to the boy. "Don't
let Mrs. Graham catch all the fish.
If she beats me I'll never forgive
her."
And I. standbier bv the side of the
undeniably sulky Ted, distinctly
read the inner meaning of her little
speech, and wondered if there might
not be a soupcon of truth in Dicky's
parting words.
