the day before New Years and Cal
vim, at the suggestion Of his mother,
the good Mrs. Moore who was al
ways in a fright over her young
sons escapades with that terrible
Jones boy down the street" was at
work upon lengthy set of resolu'
lions for the New Year.
When the young man had written
down everything he could think Of
that he would, or wouldn't do, be-
ginning the next day, he raised
himself from the floor and banged
through the house to the kitchen
where his mother was engaged with
the preparations for the big feast
on the following day. He announc.

Mrs. Moore, her hands covered
with flour, turned. Calvin Percival
was standing hard by holding out

squeezed him tight.
Then she kissed him eight or ten
times-real hard kisses.
And the young Calvin Percival
began to wonder If he had resolved
anything he would later regret.
The tenth kiss had just been
placed when from outside the house
there came loud shrill ooh. Cal!
Hey, come on out! l and Pete's
going over to the cave and cook
some taters!" 1t was the Jones
boy-that horrible Jones boy-from
down the street.
Calvin squirmed from his moth

with questioning eyes.
Mrs. Moore could tell from the
look in Calvin Percival's eyes what
he wanted her to say. He wanted

the hope Of being heard, for Billy
was In the depths of the forest call
ing his kids.
The hired man took Nanny home
and shut her In with the other
goats, and as he shut her in with
the other goats, and as he closed
the gate on her, he said, well,
where did you leave old Billy? l
bet he was not far off, for you gen.
orally stick together like sticking
plaster"
Late as 1t was, all the other
goats woke up and wanted to know
where she and Billy had been, and
how she happened to be brought
back without Billy or the kids.
While she was telling them what
you already know. we will go back
and see what has become Of Billy.
The first place he went to look
for the kids was in the depth OF the
forest by the spring, and he had a
hard time to find 1t. as by this
time the forest was as black as
pitch and every once in while he
would run his nose against a tree.
Then he would bleat and stop to
listen for an answering call; but
none came. and his heart sank with
dread and disappointment for he
was afraid the wolves had eaten
them.
At last he wandered back to
where he had left Nanny. but she
had not come back. so he lay down
to wait her return. After waiting
a long time he got up and started
in search of her. He spent the rest
of the night in looking. and just at
day-break discovered her footprints
in the mud of the brook where the
man had caught her. He srnelt
around little to make sure they
were hers. and when he found they
were. followed then to where she
had been taken, for he was afraid
some butcher might catch and kill
her. He felt greatly relieved when
he found she went in the direction
of Mr.. Windlass' gate, for then he
knew she was safe,

shook her head and turned to her
baking. Calvin Percival was the
worry Of her life.
Maybe, she thought, she would
have done better to refuse to allow
Calvin to 60 to the cave.
But, then surely nothing serious
would come Of letting him play
with that Jones boy. for hadn't he
said in his resolutions that he
would obey what she told him, and
hadn't she said emphatically that
he should not get into any trouble?

her to tell him that he might join
the Jones boy In the potato roast.
But Mrs. Moore was doubtful, for
she knew right well that every time
those two boys got together there
would be trouble-every single
time. II 1t wasn't Calvin Perciyal
who came home with a discolored
eye, or bleeding nose Cor both) it
was the Jones boy-Tom Jones was
his full name.
Then she thought of the sheet Of
resolutions Calvin had just written
written without even a protest.
and how he had said he would new
err disobey her.
"All right, Calvin Percival," she
said finally, you may go, but mind,
now, l don't want you to get into
any trouble. II you do I'll have to
send you to bed tonight without
your supper. Remember your res
olutlons."
But before she had finished Cal
win had dived for the kitchen door
and shouted out to Tom to walt a
minute. Then he scooted through
the house searching for his outer
clothing which he found in various
places. Returning to the kitchen
he asked his mother If she would
give him a couple Of potatoes. Mrs.
Moore, wIping the dough from her
hands, got three big ones and hand
ed them to Calvin, and he, with a
polite-very polite-"Thank YOU"
which surprised Mrs. Moore, tore
madly out the kitchen door. slam

wild yell jumped down the SNOW

yard.
Mrs. Moore. watching the flying

work of finding their way back to
the blue hills from the seaport
town; and from the hills to the road
where the old farmer had picked
them up, two little baby kids, to
carry them to the town from which
they sailed. Now they were re.
turning, two full-sized goats.
Once in the hills, they soon
found their way over them to the
road that led to Daisy's, that they
had travelled that moonlight night
when Billy and Nanny had kdinap-
ped them and they went to hide in
the hills.
They passed Mr.. Bells without
stopping, for they were more anxi-
Gus to see their father and mother
just now than anything else on
earth. And SO it was the prodigals
returned.
and now we will 60 back and
see what became Of Billy and Nan
ny while Day and Night were on
their travels. II you remember, We
left them on top of the hills.
When Day and Night were first
missed, Billy and Nanny thought
they had only wandered off into the
wood or down to the stream, but
when 1t began to grow dark and
they did not come back, Nanny said.
Il do wish the children would come.
l am afraid they are lost"
9"Oh. don't you worry, my dear.
They are not such little babies as
you think, and Night will soon be
able to take care Of himself and
look after Day too"
When 1t grew darker and darker
and they did not appear, Billy COM
menced to get nervous, and when
Nanny suggested that there might
be wolves In the forest that would
eat them up, Billy said he would go
look for them. He never let on to
Nanny that the same thought had
come to his mind.
Nanny, you 60 look down by the
stream for Them" he said, "and l
will go into the thick part of the
forest to see If l can find them, and
we must both call their names all
the time so they can hear us if they
are anywhere around"
PART III.
While Nanny was looking for her
children down by the road, Farmer
Windlass' hired man saw her as he
was driving home from spending
the evening with his sweetheart,
and before Nanny knew what he
was up to, he had stopped his horse
and caught her and tied her to the
back of his buggy.
"Oh, my! Oh. my! whatever
shall l do?" bleated Nanny. Now
Billy will come back, and when he
can't find me he win think the
wolves have attacked me or that
some other dreadful thing has hap
pened to me-"
She bleated and bahed as hard as
she could In the hope of making
Billy hear her: but she might az
well have bleated to the moon inl

KNOCKED IN HEAD
WITH WAGON SPOKE
Father Informed OF Advances
On Daughter, Immediately
Seeks Revenge

Enraged when his daughter told
him of advances made by Robert
Gutherie, confectioner, of Fords-
vile, Jess Sarver, merchant of Van
zant, Breckenridge County, went to
Fordsville, Monday, and seeking
out Guthrie, struck him on the head
with a wagon spoke. Guthrie was
not killed outright but is now at
the point of death.
Sarver's 12-year-old daughter,
who is student in Fordsville
Graded School, claims that Guth-
rie enticed her into his store and
made some advances unbecoming a
gentleman. This is alleged to have
occurred sometime last week. The
father learned Of the matter and
went to Fordsville. Monday. Not
knowing the accused he asked Ar
thur Smith, who is in business near
Gutherie's confectionery, to intro
duce HIM. Smith, knowing nothing
of Sarvers intent, made the intro
duction. Instead of offering his
hand, Sarver reached behind him
and produced wagon spoke, which
he had concealed in his hip pocket
and extending up under his coat,
and struck Guthrie terrific blow
upon the head.
Soon after committing the deed
Sarver went to the Office of DR.. Dem
ton and requested him to attend
the injured man, which the physi-
clan did. He then went to Town
Marshall Walter Burden. and had
himself placed under arrest. He
soon gave bond and was released.
Gutherie is a married man and
has three children. Sarver is about
thirty years of age.

NEW CONCRETE DRIVEWAY
ON COURT HOUSE GROUNDS

Seven men apd one or more
teams have been employed during

concrete driveway 10 IT. in width
from the street East of the court
square to point about one-third
Of the way alongside the court
house. The purpose of the drive is
to make delivery of coal to the
