The Overt Act Again.

Billy and Nemo were great friends, Billy was a goat and Nemo a young thoroughbred Dull. They spent many hours each day, heads together, pushing one another about, the bull’s greater weight doing all the pushing. The whole bam lot was dug up by Billy’s sharp hoofs. One day, when engaged In their favorite pastime, Nemo’s stubby homs became locked in Billy’s curly ones. It seemed for a time that they could not “let go.” Then Nemo gave a mighty toss of his head, throwing Billy dear over him. Billy landed right side up with a shrill cry that seemed to say, “You’re too dinged rough.” He pranced aronnd in front of Nemo and with a mighty burst of speed planted a “knockout” blow In the center of Nemo’s forehead. With a stifled moan, Nemo fell to the ground “for the count.” Billy surveyed the wreck, then strode haughtily away, but never after were Billy and Nemo seen In their old sport—lndianapolis News.
