Bird Gives Timely Warming to . Sem
try Who Had Saved Her own
Life Before.

Ella Rodman Church tells very
"Strange Story Of a Goose" in st. Mich
olas-a story that recalls the legend
Of the Roman capitol and the cackling
geese that saved it from surprise: This
goose made its first appearance near
Quebec over 80 years ago, when some
British troops had been sent out to put
down rebellion of the colonists. A GER
tain farm in the neighborhood suspect
ed of being a resort for the insurgents
was surrounded by sentries placed at
some distance apart, and one day the
sentry whose post was near the gate
OF the farm heard a singular noise. A
fine, plump goose soon appeared on a
run, making directly for the spot where
the soldier stood, and close behind, in
pursuit came a hungry fox.
The sentry's first impulse was to
shoot the thievish animal and rescue the
goose; but, since the noise of the report
would have brought out the guard on
false alarm, he was obliged to deny him
self this satisfaction.
The fox was gaining on his intended
prey, when the goose, in a frantic eff
fort to reach the sentry box, ran his
head and neck between the soldiers
legs just as the pursuer was on the
point of Selling it. Fortunately the
guard could use his bayonet without
making a disturbance, and he did this
to such good advantage that the pur-
suit was soon ended.
The rescued goose, evidently ami
mated by the liveliest gratitude, rubbed
its head against its deliverer's legs and
performed various other joyful and kit
ten-like antics. Then, deliberately TAX
ing up its residence at the garrison
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1899-12-22

post, it walked up and down with the
sentry while he was on duty and thus
accompanied each successive sentry
who appeared to patrol that beat.
About two months later the goose ac-
tually saved the life of its particular
friend in n very remarkable way. The
soldier was again on duty at the same
place, and on moonlight night when
the moon was frequently obscured by
passing clouds the enemy had formed
. plan to surprise and kill him. His
feathered devotee was beside him, as
usual, when he paced his lonely beat,
challenging at every sound and then
standing at ease" before his sentry
box. The goose always stood at ease,
too, and il made very comical picture.
But some undesirable spectators-at
least of the soldier movements-were
stealing cautiously toward the place
under cover of the frequent clouds and
q line of stunted pine trees. Nearer and
nearer to the post they crawled, till one
of them, with uplifted knife, was about
TO spring on the unsuspectno man.
Then ii was that the WatcnIuI goose
covered itself with glory by rising I'M
expectedly from The ground and flap
ping its wings in the faces of the would
be assassins. They rushed blindly for
ward; but the sentry succeeded in
shooting one Of the party and bayonet-
ing another, while the goose continued
to worry and confuse the remainder un-
ill they fed wildly for their lives.
The brave bird was at once adopted
by the regiment, under the name of ia
cob" and decorated with a gold col
lar on which his name was engraved, in
appreciation OF his services. Ever AFTER,
during his life of ~ years, he did sentry
duty at home and abroad, for he was
taken to England at the close of the war
in Canada and greatly lamented there
when he died. His epitaph reads:
"Died on Duty" and no human senti-
mel could have been more faithful
than poor old Jacob.
AS 1t may occur TO some readers who
have not made a study of the interest
ing and almost human ways of many
animals to doubt the truth of so re-
markable story, they are referred to
the gold collar, with Jacobs name and
exploit engraved on 1t, which may still
be seen at the headquarters of the horse
guards in London.
