Sheep Jumping Hedges.

Anent sheep jumping hedges. / may ven
ture here to tell a tale Of a certain old
rogue who went by the name of Tup-Har-
ry. This is how he got his nickname: Har-
Dor with better means and a better farm
than his own. .One very dry season Harry
had come to the end of his grass for flock
of sheep he possessed. His neighbor had,
however. got a fine field of mangel- -wurzel
Harry looked over the hedse-a hedge fur
nished with outstanding slats-and greatly
longed for those mangels for his sheep,
but he did not relish the risk of being
caught taking them. So he went in the
evening into his field that was bare of
grass, put his head against the hedge bent
his back and called: "Tup! Tup! Tupr'
whereupon up ran his old ram, jumped on
his back, went on to the hedge, and over
into the nangel field. and all the flock in
Indian file scampered after him over the
back of Harry.
Very early in the morning the rogue
went into the devastated mangel field, put
his head against the hedge, bent his ba ck
called ''Tupl Tup! Tup!' and up came the
ram, ran over his back and on to the
hedge, and returned to the barren quarter
again, followed in Indian file by all the
flock That was done several times, and no
sign appeared anywhere of the hedge be-
ing broken through, or of a paddock gate
being opened. At last the farmer who was
being robbed hid himself one night and
saw the whole proceeding. Tup-Harry did
not try that trick on again.
