1t was a funny sight to see Billy and his
wife rushing through the streets of Goat

the matter, and. as fast as they could, the
other residents of Goatville filed from their

This didn't bother Billy, however. There
was a lantern standing on the top Of the
steps. SO he ate of the handle while he was

lantern II 1t hadn't been lighted. How care
less of some one to leave lighted lantern
there, anyway That's what Billy thought
to himself.
At last Billy Bumpus and his wife ar
rived before Judge Goat, who was seated
behind high desk Clearing his throat. the
Judge said;
civilian GNrge Washington Goat, Of

Get a lawyer" said Billy to the Judge
Judge Goat misunderstood him, so he
went right on: You may have a lawyer,
but will hold you In cell until you can
appear In court here tomorrow with your
lawyer"
Mrs. Goat laughed out loud at this. ana
then she leaned over and whispered some
thing in Billy's ear.
"All right" said Billy to the Judge. Lock
me up"
