From Billy's actions it was SO plain
TO be seen that Mr.. Treat was speak
ing the truth when he claimed him
Tor his property that the circus
man, whatever he might have plan
ned to do before, did not have the
race to question his word. At the
same time he had no intention Of
surrendering Billy. AS the boys were
Just as strongly of the opinion that
they would not give up their favorite
playmate, it looked for time as tho
there would be deadlock.
But the manager was very cute and
he knew by long experience how to
manage people both big and little.
Had he not spent long years in leaxn-
ing how to amuse and please them?
He did not begin by calling Billy
.Whiskers a good for-nothing old
goat not worth his salt So, he said
that he was fine animal, the most
splendid specimen of goathood he had
ever seen. This greatly pleased his
owners, for they thought the same
way about Billy. Then Mr. Circusman
went on to say how fond he already
was Of him and how kind he would be
to him IL he was his property. And
SO by easy stages he led up to the
plan he had to propose.
He said that he had no idea that
they would think Of selling the goat
and that he had no though of trying
to buy him, that he would almost as
soon think Of trying to buy little
Dick himself, but that he hoped they
would consider allowing Billy to trav-
el with him for the rest OF the season.
Ii they would agree to this Billy
would not only be given the best care
in every way, but that he would pay
very handsomely for the use OF him
besides.
Mr. Treat asked his wife and the

While Mrs. Treat, who. you will re-

| to consider it and wanted to know
what Mr.. Circusman meant by pay
| ing handsomely" for Billy, the boys
took an altogether different view of
| the case.
Both Tom and Harry said that they
did not want to part with Billy at any
price even IL it was not for keeps,
while Dick set up perfect ki-yi at
the very thought.
eff I can once get the boys on my
side 1t will be all right" thought the
manager. He turned to one of his
men standing near and told him to
go and bring the chestnut pony hitch
ed to his wagonette, but he didn't say
what he wanted OF this gay little
turnout. The man shortly returned
and with him was the chestnut pony.
Say, Dick, TIL givn you this pony,
| harness, wagon and all II you will let
me take Billy Whiskers.'
Dick. however much he loved Billy,
| could not resist an offer like this. He
had seen this very pony. harnessed
| as he now stood before him, in the
parade earlier in the day and he had
| thought at the time H. he only owned
rig like that he would be the hap
piest boy In the world, but it never
| entered his head that by any pos
| sibilty he might have this wish come
true.
When the manager saw by Dicks
