Laramie has a seal-brown goat with

mountains because he Is OF domestic
turn of mind and tries to make man
his friend. Though social in his ma

pie after they have intimated with
shotgun that they are weary OF him.
When the world seems cold and dark
to him and everybody turns coldly
away from him he does not steal away
by himself and die of corroding grief.
He just lies down on the sidewalk In
the sun and flls the air With the Sc
ductive fragrance of which he Is the
sole proprietor. One day just ar he
had eaten his midday meal Of boot
