Billy Whiskers
By FRANCES TREGo MONTGOMERY

AL Buttons first cry of warn
ng Billy was awake and on his
feet ready for the fray. The
dogs, being in the lead, saw the
goats before the boys were in
sight of them, and then the
racket began.
The dogs barked and howled,
but were too much afraid of
Btlly's long horns to venture
near. The boys ran to see what
the dogs were barking at and
when they parted the bushes
they saw a big white goat
standing threateningly, behind
which a smaller goat was trying
to hide.
They saw. too, a little insignif-
cant-looking. stubby-tailed dog
with bristies standing straight
upon his back and his whole
manner saying, Come on If you
dare"
They did not chance to look
up, so missed seeing Button.
Look out, Andy, or that big
goat will butt your called
Andy's more timid brother. :.
No, he won't, for I'm going
to sick the dogs on him"
Sick 'em, Touser, sick EN-"
urged the boys, but Touser knew
more about goats than the boys
did and refused to attack a goat
four or five times as big as him
self.
"Oh, your dogs a coward"
said one of the other boys to
Andrew.
Watch my dog make hash of
him Here, Liver, Liver, Liverr
ne called to a big lanky hound
with liver-colored spots. Come
here and show Andy's dog how
to fight" But liver put his tail
between his legs and skunk away
into the bushes.
You old coward you, come
here, this minute called the
boy but no dog coming, he

Diana could scarcely catch the
words.
She returned the pressure of his
hand comfortingly.
Il didn't doubt you for q moment.
But / felt somehow that you would
rather not come from your OBJ
scurity and be plunged Immediately
into glare of publicity. I've caused
enough trouble already for my
friends and acquaintances without
dragging you and Cynthia into the
melee. By the way, Marjorie wants
you to dine with us tonight. Has
she phoned you?"
He nodded.
Cynthia accepted for US both just
as l was leaving the hotel"
Diana hesitated.
Then / had better go back and
open my trunks. Cynthia may need
some of my things"
She was intending to shop this
afternoon / think she has already
gone. Haven't you a half hour to

afternoons and moonlit evening.
when we used to sit out in the
garden or drive over the lonely
roads"
And so am l." declared Diana
suddenly.
Next to stephen Dale, the doctor
was the most comforting presence
she knew. She felt with him a sense
of peace and protection which she
had never known with any other
man.
1t was useless to think of Dale,
she told herself. repressing a sigh.
Now that Sylvia and other hateful
people were gossiping about Dale's
rescuing her, she knew that he
would be more careful than ever
to keep away from her.
After all, the Orient with the
doctor and Cynthia would be inter-
esting and restful after the stormy
details of her separation from Alex.
There was no use hoping for
happiness,

started on after him with his
cheeks aflame that his dog
should turn tail and run just as
he had been Dragging about
him.
At last a slick little white dog
with a black spot around and
over one eye bounded across the
space that lay between the enc
mics. He certainly made a great
fuss and came at Stubby as
though he were going to swal-
low him alive, but the next
thing he knew he was lying on
his back begging for mercy with
Stubby standing over him. You
see he did not know what a
clever fighter Stubby was.
Just then the boy who had
gone after his dog came back
dragging the hound after him.
Now, you coward, you've got
to fight" and he pushed the dog
toward Billy, but the second his
hand left his collar the dog
bounded of into the woods.
Billy hated a coward of any
kind, SO he thought he would

bowling as IL he were shot. 1t
outraged Billy to hear him
howl before he was hurt, so he
made tremendous leaps and
bounds and overlook the hound
Just as he was about to crawl
under a fence.
Without a minutes hesitation
Billy lifted him over the fence
with his long horns and then
stood looking after the coward
as he ran bowling across the
field toward home.
The boys had followed to see
what the goat would do when
he caught up with1 the dog.
They arrived just in time(to see
the dog tossed over the fence.

Sixty-one progressive Grimm alfalfa
seed growers banded themselves to-
gether at that time for the express
purpose Of marketing Grimm alfalfa
seed. These slxty-one growers pro-

vas held at Aberdeen in the morning
o fthe Goth and t~hlrty-one growers
stepped up to sign the agreement and
contract binding themselves to gether
as a unit In the marketing of their
Grimm alfalfa seed. The splendid turn
out of Grimm growers at such a busy
time of the season showed the keen
