one OF the nanny goats to milk it. \
Now these gonts were used to being
MIXED, but not by stranger. They
had been MIXED In the past only by
Harrison Crusoe, the castaway mis-

beside the nanny goat the billy soas

Folly Wisher had to grant Peggy s

butted him; wham! the first nanny
goat butted him: wham! the second
nanny goat butted him, and that last
sent him flying into the wigwam.
There Peggy took pity on him.
/. I'VE will help you milk the goats,
she said. Then she and Billy and
Flower Of the Forest patted the goats
and fed them, and finally the nanny
goats let Folly Wisher milk them. Then
all in the party had a feast of fresh
milk, and they felt much better and
ready to go to sleep, which they did
while the rain pattered on the roof oi
the wigwam.
But they woke up after q wilhelm
the middle Of the night--to meet with
another kind of an adventure about
which you will be told this coming
week.
