PART VII.
BILLY AND NANNY ARE MARRIED.

After leaving the boys the two goats trotted on
and soon came the other side Of the wood
and saw before them a beautiful valley Grazing
peacefully beside little brook that ran through it,
they herd OF goats. And at the upper end OF
the valley beyond them they saw a large old-fash-
tcred farmhouse with its stables and outhouses.
Nan let us go down and introduce ourselves to
the goat of the flock and see IL they won't let
US stay with them awhile. There are so many OF
them that the farmer won't notice us among them
when he drives them into the stable tonight, and
viii be a good place for us 10 stay until Mike
.tops hunting for Us. for know he won't give us
up in q hurry and is probably looking for us now,
and I don't propose TO live with such common
family Mike belongs to, for until now / have
only lived with hrst-class families.
Nanny agreed &c join the goats. SO the two trotted
Gown the hill. bleating they ran to attract the
attention OF the other goats The goats soon heard
them, stopped eating and looked up, and when
Billy and Nanny were within speaking distance the
leader Of the goats, large, black fellow, walked
meet them
Billy introduced himself and then Nanny to the
old goat. who. in return told them his name was
Satan and that he would be glad to have them join

but no sound came from it, and it continued to
stand in Billys way and stare right in his face.
This was too much for Billy. He had given him
warning to get out Of the way, and he would not,
SO row he going to make him, and he went
for the goat intending to butt him out OF the
door But instead of his head feeling the soft
side of the goat. he hit something hard which
broke in a thousand pieces. cutting his head and
making the blood flow down his face When this
happened Billy knew he had been fooled and had
hutted his own image in mirror and that there
had been goat there
The crash brought the ladies from the dining
room headed by Mrs. Windass; but when they got
to the foot of the stairs to come up they saw a
large white goat standing at the top, with blood
fovyins down his Whiskers. The sight of the blood
as much the goat made one woman faint, and
all the others in different directions, while
piIlv scampered down and out OF the house.
He was making for the pasture again fast
he could when he met big turkey cock which
spread his tail and sweled himself out. intending
to keep Billy from passing; but when Billy came
m 10 him ne quietly hooked him the top of the
shed where he left him with all the pride knocked
out of him and his feathers drooPing.

ALAS. FOR sARDINE FISHERMEN {!

The French sardnes which have so long been
noted for their superior quality have deserted their
favorite haunts during the last season. The fishers
and packers on the west coast of France have
been almost ruined. their livelihood depended
almost entirely on this industry. Some of the pack
ers say that the disappearance of the smaller and
more delicate varieties IS due to the i'll judged
economy of the fishermen in neglecting TO strew
the usual quantities OF bait the water after
the price of this raised by the exporters in
NORWAY and Sweden.
