These goats are the regular four
footed kind and have been bought
outright In this particular, at
least they differ from the Kent and
Sumner variety.
The goats will be used to keep
clear the right-of.way
The special duty assigned the
new help is that Of killing obnox-
ious weeds and shrubbery along the
line The goats are now working
near Edgewood and are headed for
Seattle a portable fence has been
provided TO keep them from swal-
lowing the third rail which is
heavily charged with electricity.
When the goats, which are herd
ed by one OF the section gang, eat
off the plot OF ground assigned
them, the fence is moved along sew
eral rods farther.
"A goat can reach up about six
feet and pun down a branch. He
holds the branch there while the
others eat off the leaves" said
company official. Then another
goat holds branch and the one
that did duty before has his inning.
Thus they alternate and do a clean

Then my attention was attracted to

The woman's face was hidden under

the cloth mechanically with her fork.
But the mans features stood out clear
in the light of the candles on the
table 1t was Bronson!

unpleasant. Bronson was eating lit

got up, pushed his chair back noisily,

out.
The woman sat still for a moment;
then, with an apparent resolution to
make the best of it, she began slowly
to eat the meal before her.
But the quarrel had taken away her
appetite, for the mixture in our
chatting dish was hardly ready to

She nodded.

layers of powder.
And then, quite unexpectedly, she
turned and looked directly at me.
After a minutes uncertainty, she
bowed, letting her eyes rest on mine

glanced at Mcknight for a moment,

was rather bad for me, began to see.
Here was a woman who could, if she
wished, and had any motive for so
doing, put me in Jail under a capital
charge. A word from her to the po-

Then, too, she could say that she
had seen me, just after the wreck,

bring Alison West into the case.
