Ted was ministering to his cnum during the hours before dashing for his train to business and following his return In the evening. Through the day Jack was a fairly , lonely Invalid, relying on his owd limited resources for amusement. In the next garden, separated by a glorious hedge, lived Irma West-lak- e with other members of the Westlake family, Intent on enjoying their summer holiday. And last, but not least, there dwelt the hens that laid the golden eggs, not In their own coop, where d hen should deposit any her eggs, but anywhere they happened to be Inclined. The hens belonged to Danvers and Everly, having come with the cottage they had rented. The first Intimation that Irma had that there were hens In the neighborhood was when she caught sight of one busily engaged In pro-curing a fresh salad for her break- fast In Irma's lettuce bed. , An Irate Irma flew down the garden path and a disturbed hen squeezed swiftly through the hedge Into her own domain. Irma repaired the bed and' would have tucked that hedge well along with brambles to prevent further pilgrimages of hens had she not seen Jack Danvers, good looking, but a bit fragile, recuperating In the sun. It was not long before she found two fine big eggs In a nesty part of the hedge her own side of it. Irma had not hoped for such luck. "I can hardly keep my neighbor's eggs," she told herself. "It would not be honest and, besides, he looks as if he needed ail the fresh eggs he could eat And because they were two bachelors trying to keep house for each THE well-traine- y other, Irma decided It would be better to cook the eggs before return-Inthem. She had a wonderful way of beating them up with milk and butter and putting them In the nicely heated oven to bake. A half hour later, just at lunch time, and before Jack had pulled himself out of the hammock swing to go in and rummage for food, a small girl entered his garden carrying a dainty tray. Jack was so astonished at the wee fairy godmother, who deposited her tray swiftly and ran more swiftly out of his sight, that he was He could only watch tongue-tieher go as quick movement was impossible with his lame leg. s However, Jack sniffed the eggs. There were bits of crisp buttered toast accompanying, and Jack bad not enjoyed a repast so much for many a day. He told Tom about It In the evening and Tom only grinned. "Some of those mothers of the world are looking out for you, old man take care that she doesn't catch you by way of your Interior." Two days luter at high noon the gate opened cautiously and Jack sat up eagerly In his hammock.
