like that! you-Impertinent black.haired goat! If you dare to say another word I will hook you with my strong horns." "And what do you suppose I would be doing with my own long horns about that time?" "Look here, young impertinence, I don't intend to stand here and talk to you all morning, so be off with you!" "Neither shall I waste any more time over you. Mr. Puffed-up, so take that, and that!" said Billy, as he gave the ram two sharp hooks in his side that sent him rolling to the bottom of the aroya. When he looked up he found that all the sheep had gathered around to see how the bully of the herd was going to come out with the slick black stranger. Billy made a bow to them and said: "I would not explain to Mr. Puffer who I am, but I don't mind telling you all that I am the goat selected by your master to lead this flock, and he brought me all the way from Boston to do it. He picked' me out because he thought I was a good fighter and could take care of myself as well as protect you from the wolves, -which he said were bad in these parts-. Now, if any one of you thinks I can't take care of myself and would not make a good leader, I would; like him to walk out of the flock and say so, and we can fight it out while the rest of you look on and see fair play." ; :. . No sheep or goat walked out, and from that day until he left he was the most, beloved and admired of all the leads the flock had ever had. Billy's first kind act for his flock next week.

TWO BROTHERS HAVE STRANGE EXPERIENCE

' Once upon a time there were two . boya who were very poor, They had- no mother or father T4f Jtlgo through the coun try and beg tor t:ir food, gnj was , 11 years old and his name was Ted Foster. ; III9 brother wai IS years old, and '. his name wai Leslie Foster. t ' r. . Once, when they were walklnf through the woods, they saw a ma on horseback. The man rode up to the boys. He seemed very kind ly, 'l ne man got off his steed and asked Ted and Leslie some questions. The boys answered them. When the boys turned around to leave, the man grabbed the two boys and tied them to a tree. The man jumped on his horse and galloped away. He was gone a little while, then he came back with two men on horses. The men got theboys on their horses and away they went. They went into the deepest part of the woods. On one side of a big hill was a cave. Tinmen took the boys in the cave and :;hut them up in a little room. The men mounted their steeds and disappeared. That night Leslie and Ted broke the door in. They began to search the cave. Leslia and Ted found a revolver apiece. They also found a secret door in the side of the cave. .Ted and Leslie finally got up enough courage to enter the secret room. It was very dark In this room. There was not a ray of light. Over In one corner they heard a. voice Bay "Help!" Ted was feel ing around and he found a lantern. He lighted it. Then they went to the corner from which the voice came, but saw no sign of anybody. Ted said, 'Listen, I hear it again." Sure enough they heard the sound again. Leslie was over on one side of the room. He looked down at the floor. He saw a crack through which light was shining. Leslie said: "Ted, come here quick, I have found a trap door. See here, pull on that little ring over there. "Ted said, "I can not move it at all." Leslie said, "I wonder what is the matter; go pull on that rope over htere and see if that has any thing to do with it." And sure enough, it did. When Ted pulled on the rope, the door flew open, and what do you think they saw? (To be continued next week.) Written by Claude S. Constable, Bethel, lnd., Bethel school. By Briggs
