Crouch Redeems Itsef-FoWl Terror For Ten Years,
Inadvertently Does One Good Act and Dies.

Montville, N. IA bad tempered
old gander, known to everybody in
the village as THE Crouch" re-
deemed a bad reputation of ten years
standing, and at the same time lost
its life, in saving Agnes Stilton, three
years old, from death under the
wheels of an automobile.
When the child was ready to so out
and have her usual romp in the little
frequented road the hired man chased
closed the door by means of an old
fashioned wooden button. 1t was
necessary to take this precaution in
asmuch as there was nothing 1.-THE
Crouch" liked so much as to pursue
the little girl with tapping wings and
shrill squawks. In this way every
time it had a chance it would frighten
her into the house, leaving it in un-
disturbed possession of the road.
ihether the smoke house door was
MOI buttoned tight or the gander
squeezed through crack, or flew out
a window, is not known, but at any
rate Agnes had not been playing long
when THE Crouch" sailed into the
road, raising the dust, kissing and
tapping its wings, and making for her
with all its might.

terror. shielding it's face with its out
spread hands.
Just then a touring car, driven by
Harold Grant, of East Orange, round
ed the sharp turn in the road. The
barn stands at the turn, cutting off
the view in both directions. The road
rarely is used by automobiles, and
this is the reason why the Stilton
child was permitted to play there.
Grant was going fast on level
stretch, and as he swept around the
turn the old white gander stood up
so large in his startled vision he did
not see the fleeing girl beyond. The
gander's neck was stretched to its
full extent and the wings were spread
wide apart.
That was no time to stop, aud
when, an instant after seeing the
goose, Grant spied the little girl
ahead, he let out yell of alarm that

farmhouse on the rush. The East

eyes to avoid witnessing the tragedy
he felt, as he said afterward, was sure
to happen.
But it didn't. The automobile
struck the gander full tilt. but the i'm
pact swerved the front wheels out of
their course, and by the time "The
Crouch" had come down, lifeless,
from its skyrocket flight, the auto had
darted diagonally across the road and
was lying upside down in the ditch.
Grant had instinctively let go the
steering wheel at the psychological
moment, and he shot over the top Of
a post-and-rail fence and stuck, feet
up, in pile of fertilizing material.
He lost no time in withdrawing his
head from the mess, and then fell on
his knees and prayed-just why, he
says, he doesn't know.
AS for Agnes, all had happened so
quickly she hadn't had time to be
scared at anything but the mean old
gander. She whimpered bit when
she saw how thoroughly and COM
pletely dead the gander was. Then
she stood and watched her father and
