that l was a thief. / want to ask these men
a few questions BY this time the two par
ties Of merchants had ranged themselves on
different sides Of the room. The tavern
keeper turned to one. Didn't the men over
there come into this house and tell you that
they had lost their white goat?'
"'They certainly did was the reply.
Then he turned to the white goat party.
Didn't the men over there tell you that
they had lost their black sheep and had come
back to hunt it|
They certainly did came the answer.
Both parties tried to explain that they
had placed their animals in charge of the
tavern keeper, but while they were hem
ming and having a queer thing happened.
The boy had come up with his butting COW
and seeing the merchants still in the tavern,
he led her to the door, and told her to do her
whole duty and nothing but her duty
while the merchants were trying to eX-
plain the COW rushed into the room with a
below, her tail curled over her back, and
went at the men head down and horn points
up. Tables and chairs were nothing to the
butting COW. She ran over them and through
them, and in a little while the room was
cleared of the merchants, and some Of them
were hurt SO badly that they could scarcely
crawl away.
The mayor had jumped through a window,
and the village people had scattered In all
directions. By this time the tavern keeper,
who had remained unhurt, was laughing to
him self at the fix the merchants found them
selves in, for the butting COW was still
pursuing them. But he laughed too soon.
The little girl came TO the door with her
hitting stick.
"'Hit, stick! Stick, hitp she cried, and
in an instant the stick was mauling the
tavern keeper over the head and shoulders
and all about the body.
"'Helpl help!' shouted the tavern keeper.

Come said the tavern keeper, and he
went as fast as he could TO the clubhouse,
where he had hid the animals. They were
In there, safe and sound, and the children

Some Of the birds live to a green old age

Jimmie has been staying in the country all
summer with his grandpa, who allows him
to assist in all the labors of the farm, and
Jimmie thinks that farm could not be run
without his valuable assistance. His mother
does not appreciate his achievements in that
line, and would prefer that he kept a little
