One of the leading companies of
the Frankfurt theatre, in Germany,

advance on his weeks salary. The

had already been drawn and the d.

with us, however, that. abandoned
goat made a sharp half-turn to the
right and dashed straight across its
bows!
Judith screamed, and both she and
l made futile spring, but We
should have been yards too late. As
it was, Billy" by some miracle had
judged the distance to an inch. The
front of the car almost grazed the
back of the little carriage, and then,
quite uselessly, the startled chauffeur
reversed violently. The car groaned
angrily and ran backwards up the
steep bank Of the hedge. AT the top
it stuck for a moment and then de-
scended again with a most dismal
thud. Billy, totally unmoved by
these happenings, was sropping
grass by the roadside.
A stout befurred German had been
seated in the car. He had said some
thing during the ascent of the bank
which had luckily been toned down
by the noise of the machinery. He
had turned very white, and was quite
obviously annoyed. He left the car
hastily, and addressed me, whilst
his hireling examined the injuries
sustained by his charge.

but, unhappily, its affection was not
returned. Billy, essentially a fear
less and pugnacious soul, lowered
his head and made several whole
hearted attempts to butt the stran-
ger. OF course, the carriage and
Augustus Frederick were included in
each of the attempts, and the marvel
to me was that the child contrived
to keep his seat in the bounding ve-
hicle. Our proress for the next hun

that all the various heads of depart
