Bill Kye, in Laramie Boomerang.
Dear redder, did yon ever wrestlo
with a hen that lmd a wild anti un
controllable desire to incubate ? Did
on over struggle on, day nftor day,
trying to conviuco her that her mis
sion was to furnish eggs for your ta
ble, instead of hovering all day on a
door-knob, trying to batch out a lit
ter of front doors ?
Wm. H. Root, of this place, who
who has made the hou a study, both
in her home life and while lyiug in
tho ombrnco of death, baa struck upon
au argument to wbicb the average
hen will pay more atteutiou than any
other ho has discovered in his re
searches. Ho says tho modern hen
ignores almost everything when sho
ouco gets a notiou that she lias re
ceived a call to incubate. You can
take tbo eggs out of tho nest and put
blooded bulldog on a nest of new-
laid bumble-bees in placo of them, and
sho will hover uver them as nssidous
ly as she did beforo. Mr. Root's hen
had shown somo of this mania, so he
took out the eggs aud let her try her
incubator on a horse-rake awhile, just
sho could taper oft gradually, and
not have her mind shattered. Thun
he tried her nt hatching out four-
tined forks, and nt last her taste got
itiated that she took tho contract
to furnish tho conutry with bust lew by
batching out an old boop-xkirt that
had gouu to seed. Mr. Root then
made an experiment. \V« were one
of n board of scientists who assisted
in tho consultation. The owner «»f
tho hen got a strip of red Haiturl ami
tied it around her tail. The lien
seemed aunoyed ns soon as she dis
covered it. No hen cares to have a
sash hung on her system that does
not match her complexion. A*goal
brown hen with a r«*d flan m l polo-
naiso doesn't seem to hartuoniise verv
much, and she is aware of it as much
and anybody is. Tho hen wemed to
think of something all at once that had
esenped her mind before, and si
she went away. She *t ep|*ed
about nine feet at a lick on the
start, and gained time i»h she pro
cocded. AVhen she bumped her nose
against the corner of the stable she
changed her mind about the direc
tion. She altered her conr>*o a little,
but continued her rapid atyl#* of move
ment. Her eye began to h»ok wild.—
She seemed to be losing her reason.
She got so, pretty soon, that she did
not recognize the face* of her friends.
She passed Mr. Rout without b«iug
able to distinguish him from a total
stranger. These jieciilirtr movements
wore kept tip during the entire after
noon, till the lien got «o fatigued that
she crawled into a length of old stove
pipe, and the committee retinal to
prepare a report. It is the opinion
of tho press that this is a triumph of
genius iu the line of hen culture. It
in not severe though firm iu its treat
mi nt, and while it of course annoys
and unmans the hen temporarily, it
is salutary in ita result*, and at the
same time it furnishes a pleasant lit
tle matinee for the spectators. We say
to those npou whoso hands time
bangs heavily these long days that
there is nothing that soothes the ruf
fled mind and fills the soul with a
glad thrill of pleasure like the erratic
inovcinc-uts of a decorated hen. It
may be a high order of cujoynumt,
but it nffords a great deal of laughter
to those who tue not- wry accom
plished, and those who laugh nt things
and then consider its propriety after-
Wben the British and Tories at
tacked New London, Connecticnt, in
17—, and set a price on the bead of
Governor Griswold, tho latter flod to
the town of L—, where his oonsin,
Mrs. Marvin, bid him for some days
in a secluded farm house. But at
length the subtle foe discovered bis
retreat, nnd one Sunday afternoon in
May he was routed from his- hiding-
place by tho tidings that a band of
horsemen were approaching to capt
ure him.
His only chanco of escape was to
reach tho mouth of a little creek which
emptied itself into the Connecticut
river, just above tho ontrnuce o[ tho
latter into Long Island Sound. There
be had n boat stationed, with two
faithful attendants bidden beneath
tho high banks of tho croek.
Tho distance from the farm house
to tbo boat was two miles of the usu
ally traveled rood. Bnt a little path
across tho farm**’* orchard would
bring him to the road, only a milo
from the boat, and save a quartet’s
length of bis fearful ran for life.
Just whore the narrow path from
the orchard opened into the road,
Hetty Marvin sat bleaching her house
hold linen. The long web of forty
yards or more, which was diligently
spuu and woven daring the long win
ter months was whitened in May, and
thus made ready for use.
The business of bleaching was well
economized, being nsnnlly done by
the younger daughters of the family,
who wero not old enongh to spin or
strong enongh for the heavier work of
the kitchen or tho dairy.
The roll of linen was taken by the
farmer or bis stout “help” to a grassy
plot beside a spring or meadow.—
There it was thoroughly wetted aud
spread npou the green turf, to take
the best beat of the sun by day and
tho dew by night. The little maiden
who tended it would sit near it.
Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the - young
daughter of Governor Griswold’s
cousin, when her bunted friend sprang
past her iuto the road to cscapo his
pursuers. . Hetty was a tiruid child of
about twelve yours, yet thoughtful and
wise beyond any of her elders. Sho
whs frightened by the headlong hasto
with which tho Governor rushed
across the meadow. But sho quickly
comprehended the scene, nnd instnnt-
ly quieted her faithful Towner, who
though a friend of the family guests,
thought it becoming to bark loudly
at his bin rled steps.
Her winf*b•rethought arrested the
Governor's notice, ami suggested n
scheme to delude his pursuers.
'* Hetty,” he said, “I ntu flying tor
my life, and unless I can roach my
IhMit lu-fore I am overtaken, 1 am
l.i*t iimn. Yon see the road* fork
here. Rut you must toll those who
urn chasing me that I have gone up
the road to enteli Hie mail wagon,
which will soon be along, you know.
Then they will turn off the other
■'Oh, c-*ni*m!” *sid the little girl,
ail agony of distress. I eannot tell
ie, why did jon toll which way yon
weru going ?”
“ Hetty, child, surely you would uot
betray me to my death ? Hark l Thoy
are coming—I hear the click of their
horse's feet. Oil, Hetty, tell them I
have gone up the road instead of
down, and heaven will bless you.”
.“ Heaviat never blessed those who
speak falsely cousin. Rut I will not
tell them tthieli way you go, even if
they kill me; so run as quickly as pos
sible.”
it’s of no use. Unless I enn de
ceive tin m, I am a dead mull.''
' CoiiNiu, cousin, hide under tuy
web ofeloih; they’d never think of look
ing here for yon. Come, get down as
swiftly us you can, and I'll cover yon,
K? stand sprinkling my hoeti.”
Angry that their expected prey had
escaped from the house where they
hoped to secure him, the six mounted
Tories, beaded by a British officer,
dashed along the road iu a swift pur
suit. At sigbt of the girl iu the mead
ow, the leader of the party paused.
"Child,” he said, sternly, “bare
you seen a man running hereabout
" Yes, air,” replied Hetty, trembling
ami flushing.
Which w«y did he go?” t
I promised not to tell, sir.”
But you must ti ll, or take the con-
ward*.
■rqiiencctt.
“I said I would not tell if you
killed me,” sobbed the frigbtend girl.
“I’ll have it out of her 1" Exclaimed
the furious officer, with en oath.
“ Let me speak to her,” said his
Tory guide, “I know the child, I be
lieve. Isn't your name Hetty Mar
vin?” be asked pleasantly.
“ Yes sir.”
" And tbis man that ran by you a
few minutes ago was your tnothor’s
cousin, wasn’t ho ?”
"Yes, sir, he was.”
" Well, we are friends. What did
be any to you when be came long ?”
" He—told me—that be was flying •
for bis life. 1 ’
‘ Jast so, Hetty; that was very true.
I boptf* be won’t have to fly for.—
Where was he going to bide? You
see, I could help him if I know his
plans.”
Now Hetty was not a whit deceived
by tbis smooth speech. But sho was
willing to tell as much of tho troth os
would consist with bis safety, and she
judged that her frankness would serve
her kinsman bettor than her silence,,
so she answered her questioner can-
eidly:
“My cousin said be was going
down to the river, whore he had a
boat, and wanted roe to tell tho men
that were chasing him that bo had
gone the other way to catch the mail
wagon.” m
" Why didn’t yon do as be told you,
then, when I askod you where he had
gone?” thundered the officer, fierco-
iy-
I could not tell n lio, sir,'' was tbo
tearful answer.
" Hetty,” nguiu began tbo smooth-
tongne Tory, “yon nre a nice child, v
Everybody knows yon are a girl of
truth. Wbat did your cousin say
when yon told him you oonld not tell
a falsehood ?
He said he eboiildn’t think I’d
betray him to biB death."
“And then yon' promised him thut
you wouldn't tell wbieh way be went
if yon were killed for it."
" Yes, sir.”
“That was brave; and laupposohe
thanked you for it, and ran down tbo
road as quickly aa posaiblo
“I promiaod not to toll where ho
wont, air.”
'Ob, yoa, I forgot. Well, toll ua
bia last words, and wo won't trouble
yon any more.”
Hia lost worda wero: 'Il’a my only
chance, child, and I'll get down as
you any.”
And overcome with fright and tbo
acnao of bar kinaman'a danger should
they rightly interpret tbo langaago
wbicb abe bad reported, abe sobbed
aloud and bid her (ace from eight.
Her tormonton did not atny long
to nootbo or qneation her They all
immediately pushed rapidly on down
to the rivor.
Now the Governor bad arranged a
signal with bia boatmen that a wbito
cloth by day, or a light by night, dis
played from the attia wiudow of bia
biding place, which wae jnit visible '
at the month of tbe river, ebould in
form them if be were iu trouble, and
put them on tbo alurt to help him.
Aa «oon, therefore, ua bo startod
from hia conain’a, it floated from tbo
window to warn them. And when
they saw tbo punning party doth
