heard strange noise at tie door, like unto
the beating Of certain animal familiarly
called Billy. The o. s., true 70 his instrucF
tions opened the: door ajar. 4BahP SAID
Paul. "Bah! bah! bahF' returned the O. 9.
and open flew the door. Paul walked. in
and took his seat among the inflated. Ths
sham business proceeded for a. while 10
though nothing had happened. saW Wpths
Patriarch at length said a member, IN 2
solemn manner, "the man who last entered
having neglected 10 turn the usual somerset
and Ii CHI upon his big Toe, it is very evident
to my mind that he has NOT been initiated.

Second the .motiopr' 81 guess I'd better
retire. said Paul, rising and evidently unea-
sy. "Any one who. gets iD here must 60

smith opened closet and >palled out sack.
Paul turned white: "Prepare the sictn,.:
said the w. p. Paut sprang To his feet and
begged for nercy-"but no mercy was there
known He was hustled into the sack m.
spite of all the resistance he could make.
The goat happened to be out Of sorts that
night, and 80 an old wheelbarrnw was sub
stlluted. Paul tumbled about ttie. .foora-
first forwards and then Backwards oser:

must put you through the shower BATH
Paul wiped away the perspuatiop. FCreak.
creak went the wheelbarrow round the room
again. At pauIs earnest sollcltalion the
shower bath was omitted. He declafedat
would give HIM terrible cold. Having
been otherwise put ltrough, Paul was jiberT'
ated terrified man. He started fTsaiaw-
yer for vengence. But the lawyertoId i,m
he had better say nothing about it-and ne
finally concluded not to. f., f''y'st,sJ ,.
1t so happened that where Paul wcrkeds
number Of girls were employed: One day
he entered the ladies' department. That
morning an Irish girl had been admitted 10
the establishment, and the mischle1ous imps
among the girls had wrapped her, IN piece
of canvas, and were wheeling her about
the floor; "What are. you: deingr asked
Paul. :"Biddy's riding the goat, archly re-
piled. the ringleader. Paul bolted. t;.a
The man who rode the goat' is well
known in the .ilIage-and is often pointed
out by the little boys. We rather guess the
next time Paul wants to enter secret So
ciety, he will goin tbc front way. ~ s.'' -
