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

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.

Joke Not on Ezra.
fcator? 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.

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
