Tho Story OF o Mountain Goat Who La OF
Humorous Turn IL Mind.
A mountain goat thnt1 once kept IL
confinement was about rs cunning as
the average street arab. and, had he
lived to maturity and Kept on ncquir-
ing knowledge, the chances nrc would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch.
lie usually followed nc, says
writer in Forest and Stream, on short
eXcurGions into the woods, and gen.
orally kept right ut my heels; but on
ono occasion he Jagged behind. and,
although l called -hita several times.
he paid no heed. finally walked back
to sec what he was Interested in and
found him busy feeding On some moss
that grew ut the roots CT fir tree,
30 lcft him and continued my tramp.
But, after had got away n short dis
tancc the thought occurred to nc to
hide and sec how he would act: so 1
slipped into n hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited tho result. Pres
emily l heard him coming bounding
along the trail. ard after he had
passed stuck ont my head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped and commenced looking
around. and the comical expression of
his face as he scanned every object
that bore my semhlancc to n human
being caused me to burst out laughing.
when he turned and saw me. Then lie
commenced to sullt md would not GO
any further, so had to 70 home.
The next day lie followed Inc as
usual, hut in the midst of some thick
brush and down timhcr1 got interested
in Il bird that was following up. and
forgot the goat. and when I came TO
look for him he was gone Walking back
to where | last saw him called, but
no "Iitly' came in sight. Then com
mcnced diligcnt search, and present
ly caught sight of something white
beneath Il brush heap. STOPPING down
and looking in, I saw the little brute
curlcd UP in n heap, and not q move
could | got out of hinE Reaching in. l
caught him by tho leg and pulled him
out, and gave him Il good cutting on
both sides OF his head. Eut he did
not mind it a bit, and seemed to enjoy
tho joke iTnElcnGcly. capcring about in
his usual manner all tho way home, as
if he would say: You hid from nc
yesterday and I hid from you to-day,
and lIonors arc even"

disclosingly to his dearest friend. Gar
imond, king of Saltravia, heard them
and thrilled with the pain of sacrifice,
though g1addened by that sense of self
conquest which is the sweet wages Of
honor, as a sense of self-debasement is
the bitter wages Of sin.
= Alonzo and Kathleen heard them, and
the volunainous cadences they breathed
built for both heavenly castles of ex-
pectancy.
And so the music played on-music
which so throbs, when art is its min
lister, with souvenirs and prophesies,
memories and anticipations.
Angry, austere, cholzed with pas
sionate feeling of defeat and insult,
Mrs Kennaird stood beside her daughter
half hour or 80 later, that night,
when Alonzo laid his hand in the hand
of Kathleen. The two ladies were
waiting their carriage, cloaked and
ready, and at the portals of the palace.
'Good-by, good-by," Alonzo said.

face pale and full of nervous tremors
she moved toward Alonzo.

''Never! You've kept her from a crown

Alonzo, stung, was about to reply
but Kathleen caught her mother by the
wrist, and with the same ardor of self
assertion which had more than once re
