of the boys who was with them
came to their rescue and tried to

face all over with his tongue. This
made the boy furious, but he could
do nothing as the goat was heavy.
and with his weight on his chest he
thought he would smother.
BY that time the soda fountain
man had recovered his breath and
came at Billy again with his broom

him coming and left the boy he was
