THE RED DESIRE.
By Stuart q. Stone.

The Tracy goat was well known
all over the ward for philosopher
and an optimst Trouble went not
with his long. white beard. and laugh
ter followed In the wake of his red
express.
Before his coming there had been
strife and unhappiness in the house
of Tracy The baby had been peaked
and fretful the twins had fought too
much even tor twins; Mrs. Tracy had
brooded too long on the hallowed
memory OF her famous ancestors. and
Tracy himself lost his rotundity OF
face and expansiveness or smile in the
constant struggle with butcher and
baker and candlestick maker.
But with the coming OF the goat
bright fortune smiled Daniel Alexans
der Tracy, the baby, rode the animals
back into the sunshine Of health and
rosincss. The twins had ceased their
brawling to devise quaint narnessing
schemes for the new pet Mrs. Tracy
forgot the blessed dead and made
beautiful blue ribbon collar for the
goat. which he afterward chewed Off;
and Tracy laughed the rotundity back
into his face and with il the energy
and resourcefulness into his system.
So they named the goat the Knave OF
Hearts, and everybody waXed fat and
prospered
The Knave of Hearts had very pecu.
liar notions as TO diet and forage For
instance. he had always displayed 4
strange love for things OF blood-red
hue. He had been known To nibble
for hours at a crimson painted lamp
post. and his favorite brand OF canned
goods wrappers was the kind that
shows the huge scarlet tomatoes--the
twins were quite sure that the Knave
also ate the can. The O'Briens next
door had TO guard Mr.. O'Brien's VIVID
shirts on the clothes-line regularly ey-

the Knave made tidbit of half the
flags in the block.
Things were in this happy state
when Mrs. Tracy came into possession
