slant believe it. He was sure that
Carrie was afraid; that she did not
dare say anything but yes to such a
big, determined person as the young
doctor. But he was not afraid if Car

him something he knew about him!

"Johnnie!" Mrs. Caruthers seized
him so violently that the end Of the
preposterous assertion was shaken into
inaudibility. 1t had been to her that
Aunt Eunice had made the statement,

she heard it on Johnnie's lips. well

she said, trying to smile down her at
fronted sons ire and conscious that
Carrie and Doctor Arnold were gazing
at her in amazement. Don't you think
we had better be getting Solomon's
supper noWT'
It was an unlucky remark. Johnnie's
face puckered. II don't want anybody
to eat Solomon" he reiterated mis-
erably.
"Austin," Mrs. Caruthers called to
her husband, who was coming out Of
the garage. "Come here. please. This
may as well be settled now"
"What's the matter now, sonny
boy?" asked Mr.. Caruthers, approach
ing.
II don't want anybody to eat Solo
mon, farver."
"Don't worry" said Mr.. Caruthers In
his cheerful tone. 1--WE changed my
mind. think turkey will suit us all
better than goose for our Christmas
dinner this year, and I'm going to or
der the biggest and latest turkey
can find in the market and Solomon
shall live forever. How will that suit
you, Johnniekins?"
81 like that" declared Johnnie, pol
fishing his tear-wet but radiant face on
his sleeve.

While the Russian thistle when young
and tender has considerable feeding
value, Andrew Boss, in charge Of the
Minnesota experiment station, says the
thistle should not be allowed to grow.
Alfalfa is much better for all classes
of livestock. Farmers who are troubled
by the thistle, says Mr.. Boss, should
turn their sheep into infested fields.
Sheep will eat the thistled closely an
seemingly relish this kind Of pasture.
North Dakota station men report that
IS head of sheep were pastured all sum-
mer on five acres of Russian thistle on
the station farm at Williston.

was extricating Solomon from a tight
place in the poultry yard fence. II
begin to be afraid that having him 80
much on our minds and in our COM
pany may affect our appetites for our
Christmas dinner.
As the holiday approached the whole
yard began to look small for Solomon.
Carrie Caruthers, coming in one day
from walk. complained that he had
strenuously objected to making way
for her on the walk. Really, mother,
it makes me feel as If we oughtn't to
eat him." she said, coloring a little.
HE seems too human"
Dear me, child!" said Mrs. Caruth-
ers hurriedly. "Don't mention that be-
fore Johnnie"
The next afternoon Johnnie came
running into the house in great excite
ment. 1.-THE Leonard dog is chasing
Solomon" he wept. "Muvver. come
and make him go home"
Mrs. Caruthers looked out. Solomon
was certainly having a perilous adven-
ture. The Leonard dog was circling
about him, making vicious charges.
Nothing but the spreading of Solo
mons formidable wings and his harsh
outcries saved him. my! what q
dreadful dog!" exclaimed Mrs. Caruth-
ers, hurrying to the rescue.
There was 'ear-splitting squawking
from the terrified goose.
"Muvver! Muvver!" cried Johnnie,
bursting into heartrending walls.
Mrs. Caruthers picked up stick
and made motion of throwing it. "Go
hOme!" she commanded sternly.
The dog spread his feet and shook
his head. "Bow-wow!" he returned
1mpudently.
She threw the stick. It seemed to be
the only thing she could do.
The Leonard dog whirled around in
an anguish Of pain and establishment.
Then, realizing that he had been
worsted, he departed on three legs for
his kennel.
"You hit him, muvverl You hit
him! !" exulted Johnnie.
The frightened goose sat hunched
under tree, his head buried in his
back. Some Of the feathers were gone
from his tail, and patches of fluffy
down were blowing about the yard.
"Blest if I can see what there is
about that goose to fascinate an en-
tire family" said Mr.. Caruthers, ap-
nearing S,1ddon1v hohipd %hon, GTf
you don't look out, Lucy, you'll be re-
fusing your favorite hip slice when
Christmas comes"
Hip slice! Solomon's hip slice! Mrs.
Caruthers could scarcely restrain a
shudder as she glanced at the heap Of
feathers huddled In q corner. What
a cannibalistic vision! "Oh, please,
Austin, don't speak Of til" she begged.
'Tell father what happened. dear"
!; Johnnie, incoherent from agitation,
told the story Of the attack and res

ended, smiles breaking out at the en-
trancing recollection. 1T hurt his leg.
He could only run on free legs. He
went home awful fast, didn't he, muv-

Just then Carrie Caruthers and a
young man came around the corner of
the house and came to join them.
Johnnie observed young Doctor Arnold
with interest. The day before he had
heard his Aunt Eunice call the doctor
a "foregone conclusion" He watched
him narrowly, trying to discover how
q "foregone conclusion" differed from
other men. He thought, on the whole,
that it would be rather nice to be on
friendly terms with "foregone con-
clusion," so he moved nearer and tim
idly announced that Solomon was q
Christmas goose.
"He's a splendid big fellow" said
the young doctor heartily. "How much
