Tuggenbund. Eight quarts day and
not drop less"
"well, there's twenty-four quarts
day"
"And goats milk sells at 35 cents n
quart. That gives us a little Income
Of $40 day, or almost $50 week"
"But who told you that the milk
would sell at that price" asked Mrs
Bowser.
"Never you mind. have not gone
into this thing without making all due
inquiries. Goats butter is selling to-
day at so cents a pound, and the de-
mand cannot be half met. We shall
make at least $4,000 year from these
three goats. Some men would be con-
tent to stop there, but am not. l
shall add six more goats. That will
give us an income of $4,000 a year
and be something like. Now, then, am
q dead failure as business man or
do seem TO know a tuing or two?"

Bowser.
"Why, woman, what in thunder ails
you? DO you want greater income
than that? II so, all we have to do is
to increase the number of goats. |

swing your hat at my figures"
"But who's to milk the goats"
"I am, of course. / shall get up half

to take in $40 a day"
Just then the cook came upstairs and
beckoned Mrs. Bowser out into the
hall, and after they had conferred to
gether for a couple of minutes Mrs
Bowser returned to say:
"Well, Anna wants to CO."
"Humphl What for?"
"On account Of the goats. She says
she's afraid of them"
"Bosh! Not one of those goats would
hurt a fly. Look at them from the
window here. Did you ever see three
more peaceful animals? Why, babies
could play with them"
But you can't always keep then
tied up, you know. Anna says hel
mother lost her life by goat"
"Anna be hanged! I'll go out ther,
and prove to her that those goats are
as affectionate as three puppies. Yot
watch me from here"
Mr.. Bowser hied him to the kltcheI

was equal to the emergency. Sh
opened the front door. and, with tn
Corslcan still in the lead, they jumped
over every chair and made Off dow
