Uncle Joe mut tered sourly, his boots made loud thumps as he dropped them heav- fly on the floor. "Nine to ninety, give them a gol darn love story.

Then Uncle Joe cried hoarsely, "Get the flashlight, Martha, there's three of them wandering aroun" in here. Hurry!" Aunt Martha dashed to the house and found the flashlight. "Careful now," Uncle - Joe warned, "I can hear them walkin' all over." Aunt Martha opened the door cautiously. A very strong odor assailed her nostrils. She sung the beam of the light all over the place. Most of the hens were standing or sitting all over the | straw-covered floor, the lantern and shotgun were there also.

"Oh, all right," Aunt Martha | said resignedly, putting her book | on the kitchen table and getti up. "What's that!" ve she exclaimed suddenly, cocking her head to one ; * side. "It's the chickens." Uncle Joe sat up in bed. Above the wind | they could hear a racket in direction of the chicken a "Someone's stealing our chick- ens!" Aunt Martha cried excit- edly. "I read about a gang that's doing it all over the count. Do something, Joe!" "Get the shotgun!" Uncle Joe bellowed, sliding out of bed. "I'll | ig them!" unt Martha dashed upstairs to the bedroom they used oe the summer and got his shotgun out of the closet. When she returned Uncle Joe was out in the kitchen, still in his night shirt. He had laced his boots on and hac an old toque of Aunt Martha's pulled down over his ears. "Where's that flashlight?" "I don't know, you had it last." "Get the lantern then." She did and he lit it. The glass was so blackened by smoke that it threw little light of any kind. Uncle Joe grabbed up the shot- gun. "Open that door. I'll show them!" he repeated belli, ently, "You're not goin' out there without your pants," Aunt Martha cried, aghast at his get-up. "Stand aside, woma: , this is a man's job," he ordered imperi- ously. "Ain't got no time to fool around." He dashed straight for the chicken house, his night shirt flying. Aunt Martha, wrapped in an old coat, was close at his heels. When they reached the building he hissed, "You open the door and shut it right after me. I'll get them." Aunt Martha pulled the door open quickly and Uncle Joe bounced in. "Got you this time!" he exclaimed, holding up his Jan- tern and pointing the « led shot- gun into the darkness. "There's nothin' in here," he told Aunt Martha a few seconds later. He peered around intently. "Not a thing," he muttered. "Good gravy! Scat you! Scat!" he yelled suddenly. There was a crash and the dim light of the lantern went out. Aunt Martha gasped at all the rack:t. "Joe! Joe!

"Here, give me that light." He flashed it ar- 'nd the sides of the suilding. "Here's wheree those critters got in."
