Unfortunately for Katie, her foot slip
comfiture, both feet did not go on one
side OF the limb. What situation for
Katie. She struggled TO regain her former
positioh,s at the same time kicking at the
goat, who was ma king furious charges
at her feet, which we're dangling down.
What situation for the deacon, too.
Katie espied him coming her way, shout
ed to him to keep oif.and the poor, bewil-
dered deacon diu not know what TO do
in the case.
His goatship decided the question FOR
the deacon. He also made a rush for the
limb where KstiS,' sat still swinging
her feet about in y lively manner.
/. Unlucky deacon Jue. .as ne had the
limb almost within his grasp he stumbled
forward, accelerated in his movements by
terrible butt from the goat The dea-
con struck the ground heavily his al
ready dllapidated hat crushed down over
his eyes. With hosrse groan OF dismay,
and the shrek OF Katie ringing in his
ears. he staggered TO his feet, and while
vainly esssSng to lift his hat from over
his nose, gave vent to n terrible txcla-
nation, which nearly caused the con OF
Africa TO trrn white, and unseat Katie
from the limb.
"D--m you for goat" and this ex-
preston lost Deacon Colburn a brioe and
n dinner. And from that day on, until
he died he would when he could. Kill

was sure that every "dodTotted" one Of

inch. The deacon was inside of the yard
and the goat on the outside OF the gate,
and the gate was closed.
The deacon looked goodnatured, he
acted good natured; but he wasn't, for
he was mad clean through. His back
was turned toward Katie, but just how
near she was to him he did not know.
lie looked around and found that she
was some two hundred and fifty feet
away, lie smiled and then he shut his
teeth and began TO talk to the goat.
First be opened the gate with one hand,
while he hung on the goat with oear life
with the other. He put one OF his feet
against the gate to hold II open.
The colored boy was about ten feet
from the deacon, and this Is what he
heard him say TO the goat: "Now you
measly dot drafted imp OF misery, you
walk yourself right through this gate
In less than a minute or I'll break overy
bone in your miserable black carkus. f"
The goat nicst have heard and understood
what the deacon Fald, Tor Be started and
walked through the gate just as innocent
as lamb; in fact, he started Sd suddenly
that the deacon nearly fell TO the ground,
as IL must be borne IN mind that the
defcon was pulling on the rope that was
around the goats neck.
The deacon did not fall, but his bat
came of and rolled some ten feet down
the pathway.

had invited Judson TO the home OF her
parents to dinner Christmas, and the Wis
ions of roast turkey and fxins were
also in Judson's mind.
Judson was puzzled, for what to get he
did not know, as he knew but little OF
the tastes of his soon-to-be wife.
He did know, however, that Katie was
fond of dumb animals, but then what
could he get, az she had n canary, par
rot, q cat, dog and that was about all
that there was for a lady to make pet
Of in the way of dumb animals.
All at once Judson's eyes frightened,
and a smile came over his face, for in the
distance was a small colored boy leading
a goat. "I'n buy that goat, by gum,"
said, Judsop. "Gracious! but am lucky
chap, after all. !" The goat in question was
= fine specimen of his kind, with q long
goatee, and finely developed horns. Soon
the deacon, the colored boy and the goat
met. The deacon halted the hoy and
asked him whom the goat belonged to.
The boys eye twinkled as he replied:
ewhy, sab, that var goat berlones to me
and Use just gone to take him down to
the Center and see IL can't sell him."
Now here was glorious opportunity
for the deacon, and just at this moment
he thought OF what Katie had told him
the Sunday evening before, when they sat
alone in the old-fashioned sitting room
of the Jennison hom ,stead. Katie told
him that night that she desired some liv-
ing, breathing thing that she could
fondle and pet.
The deacon asked the price OF the goat.
s'Dis ysre animal am TO- sale TO de
small some OBJ 70 dol'rs."
The deacon haggled for something OF,
but finding that the son OF Ham was OBJ
durate he shelled out the price and the
,pe that was attached to his goatship's
neck was transferred from the hands OF
Africa 10 the native OF Foster Center, who
started for the home OF mis- sdored one,
and to whom the goat would soon be
presented.
The boy that sold the goat knew that
something was likely TO happen before
the deacon and the goat got great ways,
% as soon as tbe.deacon had started the
boy jumped over the stone wall on the
side OF the road and followed the deacon
sndsbis pet, taking good care not to be
seen. "For," said the boy to himself,

self-made man, uncouth in some of his
gays, but was generally esteemed, how
ever, by the good people Of Foster Center,
especially the real old ones, and he was
universally disliked by the younger por-
tion OF the community and they did not
let an opportunity pass TO show their dis
like for the old fellow. The deacon was
SO odd years old, and there were but few
days of that many years that he did
not spend on the farm owned by his
father, Samuel Colburn, and after the
old man died the farm ter TO Judson,

died when he, Judson, was baby. All
