A STRANGE FREAK OF HENS Large Flock of Swimming Fowls Are the Attraction in a Massachu- setts Town. Athol, Mass.—Several Athol resi- dents have made trips to Templeton to the farm owned by Charles F. May- nard, where there is a flock of swim- ming hens. Mr. Maynard has a pond near his home, where the hens swim about with all the grace and abandon of ordinary ducks. About a week ago the hens were feeding about the edge of the pond and had found a rich crop of bugs and water insects. At last one hen saw some fat bugs on a lily pad, near shore, and after wading out a short distance made a dive for them. Mr. Maynard expected to see biddy go um- der, but she swam about like a lite- saver. The other hens did not enjoy her monopoly of the bug market, and one after another they darted in and seemed to enjoy the situation. The hens now go to the pond often for a feast of water insects. | HUMAN SAND BAG DOES DUTY Ralph 8irpas Thrust His Body In Hole | In Levee and Saves Thousands by 8o Doing.

Old man Maxwell hated old man Boyce with & fervor inherited from their fathers be- fore them and Ethel Maxwell hated Carl Boyce with a flerceness reflected from her grandfather, old man Max- well, while Carl Boyce hated Ethel Maxwell as much as a well-favored young fellow could be expected to hate a pretty girl, albeit not so much a8 his uncle, Old Boyce, might desire. These being the somewhat complex oonditions and all of the parties in the drama were located for the sum- mer at the same coast resort. Now it happened that sailing was Ethel Maxwell's enthusiasm, 80 in the middle of a glorious after- noon Ethel found herself bounding over the billows of the bay with & taut sheet and a steady tiller. Carl Boyce had decided also to take & sail that afternoon, and was skim- ming over the waves alone with his thoughts, when on a tack he came right across the bow of Ethel’s boat. In fact, Ethel's quick use of the tiller was all that prevented a collision. “A very awkward tack, Mr. Boyce,” | sung out Ethel, pertly. l “Didn’t expect to run into ladies on' the bay,” retorted Carl. “Supposed a ' man was in the boat and could take care of himself.” Ethel flushed and sung out: “There’s man enough in this boat to beat you to the island for a silver cup.” “Go ahead,” came back the answer. Now the island was far out at the entrance to the bay, and too near the open sea to make it safe sailing wlth but one in a boat. So intent were the | contestants on making the best ot‘ their opportunities that they did not | notice the gathering clouds. So it was that a catastrophe ensued right at the point of the island. While making a tack on which they ran rather close together, a sudden gust of wind from the open sea lifted Ethel's boat fairly out of the water and hurled it squarely against that of Boyce. In an instant both were in the water and both boats hopelessly cap- slzed. i Ethel was not a strong lwimmer. and with her skirts was in a bad way, but Boyce soon had a strong arm about her and another over a up- sized boat. “Well,” he sald, with a grin, “hm is a situation for a novelist.” | “Please remove your arm,” replied Ethel. “I can hang on quite well: now.

He carried his unconscious companion ashore and set about restoring her. Night was setting in before she was strong enough to set up. They were in a most embarrassing predicament. The island was uninhabited, and the bay. “What is to be done?” she asked, after they had sized the situation. “We will have to remain here all night,” he replied gravely. She turned pale even in the white nes of her exhaustion. “Oh it is impos “I fear it is the only thing posst ble.” “I had better have died in the bay,” she said slowly. “I would never dare face my grandfather.” “Miss Maxwell,” said Boyce, “there is a better way. We will both land at Fishville and there be married.” “Mr. Boyce!” “Miss Maxwell.” “It is & poor time to jest.” “l am not jesting. You dare net meet your grandfather alone. Very well, I am not afraid of him. We will meet him together. I dare mot meet my uncle alone. You do nmot fear him. I will meet him with you.” A telegram from Fishville next :‘y when they arrived later in the day all the pleasure seekers were at the traia to meet them. And speculation was rite. And there was much whispering. Old Maxwell and Old Boyee glared at each other and looked grim. Both re- fused to yleld the vantage point at the very spot where the passengers mus$ alight.
