IX the children had a hoard of
eggs hidden away for R aster-
all but Billy. Billy was so
small and fat that be could
not climb on the haytnowa to tlnd
the nests. Sue, Mary and Teddy were
bigger, und the contest with them went
guyly on. Raster morning their bourds
would be brought forth from their hid­
ing places, and the one who had the
most eggs would be the best fellow.
Mother would give them some hits
of bright calico and pieces of onion
peel. The eggs would be wrapped In
these and boiled, and when taken out
of the water the onion ones would
have beautiful yellow shells and the
ones wrapped In calico would have
daluty flowers and pntterns traced on
them. Perhaps they might have some
of those gorgeous purple end crim son
dyes for certain high class eggs. A ny­
way, there would he a brave showing.
Billy would probubly have some giv­
en to him. but they would not be his
own hoard, and the heart of Billy was
heavy within him.
lie stood on the barn floor, dejected­
ly shelling tho kernels otT an ear of
corn that had been dropped, and he
could hear tho shouts of the other chil-
dreu awuy otf on the long mow wings.
Raster wus very near—only a few
days—and then—
“Cluck, cluck!"
Billy looked around and saw a brown
hen squeezing out through a hole In
the flooring. She walked straight up
to Billy and began plcklug up tbe ker­
nels be bad dropped.
"W bat you been doin’ under ve floor,
ol’ Brown Hep?"
"Cluck, cluck!” suld the brown hen,
which meant, "Look for yourself."
Billy looked. Away under the dark
floor he could see a nest, uud he count­
ed—“two—tlve—free—eleventy.” Billy
could not tell Just how many for his
mathematical education was shaky.
“Is they yours?” w hispered Billy.
“Cluck, cluck!” said the browu hen.
“Don’t tell the rest, and we'll go
■hares on this hoard, and I'll take care
of them for us.”
Then she crawled buck under tbe
boards, and Billy rnn In the house fet
lag that he also had a secret.
Not a word did Billy lisp. On Easter
rnorulng be. too. would bring forth his
hoard, but ho would leave some for
the brown hen—oh, of course—because
they were partners.
Easter came, nnd tho older children
«rent after their bidden eggs. Billy

eyes. Tho brown hen bud not denlt

She was not alone. Chirping nnd
peeping all around her was a troop of
yellow fusty bulls. Billy took one rap­
turous look nnd then fled to Sister
Mary, who was crawling from uuder a
straw atack with her treasure.
“Look, Mary, look whnt me an’ the
brown hen done!" he culled “She's

One-Sixth of Caral Yet to Dig
One-sixth of the excavation
necessary to open the Panama
Canal to navigation remained to
be done on March 1, and this
must lie completed in 21 months
if Colonel Goethals is to redeem
his promise to have an American
built ship, probably the famous
old Oregon, pass through the
waterway on January 1, 1915.
Big figures are required to tell
what the canal workers have
been doing and what they have
to do. Last February they took
2,643,410 cubic yards of earth
and rock out of the canal prism,
making the total excavation up
to March 1. 163.183.086 yards,
and leaving 32,141,293 yards yet
to he removed.
