Q wacacufiafrfj Ezra Towwnley was forty years old and a bachelor. Few men arrive at this state unless the door to their hearts has been closed by a woman's band, and Kzra was no exception to the rule. While still an awkward schoolboy he had centered bis affec tions on pretty Abble C'ummlngs, and the scorn In her eyes had never shaken hla loyalty. She wan still MIhh Abble. an alert, self-reliant little woman, nerenely con scious of the fact that the village ap lilaiulod her wisdom In refusinK to mate with so shiftless a man as Kzra. Perhaps there were momenta when womanliness conquered wisdom when she yearned for the lonely man. Hut her dark eyes told no tales and r.zra, naturally dllntlent, had never dared come to the point of proposal. Tbey had lived across the street from each other all their lives, but were still only good netnhborn, with no apparent prospect of changing their relationship. Ezra's cottaue stood In the center of an aero of ground, the greater part of which was devoted to hla garden. There were hives of beos standing under the old apple trees, while be hind them was a small poultry yeard. Every spring Ezra laid plana (or hatching a large flock or chickens, but he bad never succeeded in raising more than nine. His Interest In poul try was unabated, and he availed him self of the first spring auction to be come the possessor of an Incubator. It was rather loose as to doors and wobbly as to legs, and the heating ap paratus was hardly In a state to court Investigation. Hut Ezra's expectations of success were as sure to bloom aa were the hardy perennials In Miss Ab- ble's garden. He saw In the much-the-worse-for-wear Incubator a sure road to the realization of his hopes. Having carefully read the tattered book of directions, he set up the ma chine In his barn. Then taking a basket, he went down the street to the village store. When MIhs Abble en tered the store a few moments later, she found every one laughing heartily. "There will be great doings In your neighborhood In about three weeks." said the young clerk who had stepped up to wait upon her. "I suppose you know that Ezra Townley has an Incu at The Dawn of Scientific Knowledge Learn a Profes'ion where the de mand is greater than the supply.

It proved to be a tiny seal, that made bis eyes open wide lu astonish nient Surely there could be no mis take. It was the setting to a ring that Miss Abble had worn for many years, and would have been instuntly recognized by any of her village friends. How came the seal out of the ring? Above all, how came it to be lying there, among the egg shells In the lu cubatorf Miss Abble had not been among his visitors of that he was very sure. Wouderlng would neither solve the mystery nor restore the ring to Its owner, so a few moments later he was knocking at her door. Miss Abble welcomed him cordially and ushering him Into h..r cozy sitting room, made a cheery comment on the weather. "It Is a fine day," Ezra admitted "but that Is not what broiiKht me here. I have Just found something that I mistrust belongs to you and no one ele." He extended the seal, and Miss Ab ble took It at once, gazing at him with ftnrtlod eyes. For perhaps the first time In all tier life, she felt 111 at ease In his presence. "Why, where did you find it, Ez ra?" she gapped. "That Is the queer thing about It Abble. It was In my Incubator, and 1 should like to know how it managed to get there." "I never wanted you to know any thing about It," she faltered. "About what?" "Why, the Incubator. The boys knew that those store eggs wouldn't hatch, and they were coming up to laugh at you." "Hut they did hatch." protested the bewildered Ezra. "I have 45 chickens In my brooder this minute." 'You have the chickens," Miss Ab ble admitted. "Hut they didn't coiue from iiiose eggs." "Not from those eggs!" Ezra echoed blankly. "Then where on earth did they come from?" Miss Abble's confusion waa Increas ing every moment It was decidedly becoming, brightening her dark eyes. and bringing an almost glrlUh flush to her cheeks. "I set four of my hens the night that you set the Incubator, and came over enrly In the morning and changed the eggs." "What morning?" "Day before yesterday when they were Just ready to hatch." "Whatever made you do It, Ab ble?" Ezra's tone was gentle as well as wondering. "I I didn't want you to be disap pointed," she faltered, "or have them all laughing at you." There was silence for a moment, then Ezra spoke again. "I didn't suppose you'd care, Abble. If I had ever dared to think so" For once In her life Miss Abble was speechless. But any one seeing ber face at that moment would have known that her days of wisdom were at an end. 1 1 ' i : X',--':. e-"S I at , JT J fc w?w J . - r ' r . r:fh .',-'.''. , : t TvVal sb.

He Is going to start the ma chine tonight, and has stocked up I with cold storage eggs. I told him that we would all be up to see how i tne machine turned out. Maybe we won t have some fun with him then! miss Abble went homeward with her head in a whirl. Why should peo ple pica on Kzra as the butt of such Joke? What should she do about It? Tell Ezra of his mistake? No. he should never learn from her that be had been an object of ridicule. Suddenly her face lighted up with a smile, showing that the right Idea had come. Never had she been more cheer ful and serene than during the next three weeks. At times ber eyes would twinkle as at some secret Joke, and more than one village gossip won dered what good fortune had befallen Iflsa Abble. Ezra waa not an early riser, but on the day that the Incubator hatch was due he awoke Just before dawn. It seemed to blrn that heard the barn t'rjor creak. IreKlng himself nnlrklv ho went out to Investigate. Everything was In perfect order, with no sign of any disturbance. Hut hark! What was that sound? faint peep from one of the eggs In be Incubator? Were they already be ginning to hatch? Never had he no mnny callera fta walked up the path that day. One and all they turned away, bafTled, bewild ered and sure of only one thing that the Joke was not on Ezra. "There were 28 chicks out the last time that I counted," their host ex ilalned Jubilantly, "and of course they Just keep a coming. I tell you It was a great streak of luck for me when I got that hatching machine!" When the hatch was over and the hlckens consigned to the care of a liome made brooder, Ezra cleaned out ;be Incubator and brushed up the broken egg shells. Among them he noticed a bit of gleaming black, and stopped to pick It up. Man Was Sure He Would Have a Berth Until Teld the Train Was a Freight. "Do you know what time the next train will pass through here going north?" asked a man who had been compelled to stay over night in a small town In Arkansas. "There will be one In about twenty minutes," replied the ticket agent "Bully! Do you ever smoke?" "Yes, sometimes." 'Iieres a cigar that I bought In Dallas. You can't get anything like It In this town. I think you'll enjoy It. They charge 17 cents apiece by the thousand for that brand." "Thanks. I'm afraid It may spoil my taste, but I'll take a chance on It, Just the same. 140 A . . - nay, can you nx me out With a lower berth for St. Louis?" "I can telegraph to have one re served for you on the train that pass es through here at 6:80 tomorrow morning." "No, no; I want to go on the train that's coming now. Can't you fix me out on that one?" Nope. I'm very aorrr I can"t do It." 'O, come on! you can arrange It some way. No, It's Impossible. Well, I'll have to fix It with the conductor, then, I suppose." You won't be able to get a berth from him." "I won't eh! You watch me. There. a sleeper on the train. Isn't there?" No." What! No sleeper? What kind of trains do you run on thla line, any. how?" Well, thla one that's coming Is a freight train." OREGON'S STATE FAIR.
