BIZ FRANCES Trego Montgomery.
Here, git out Of there, We spal.
neen!" cried the policeman as he
Waddled across the street, brandisn-
Ing his club, in the hope that Billy
and Stubby and Button would run,
TOR he did not al to come In too
close contact with a billy goat. much
less a big, fierce looking mi like
Billy. s
Billy made two or three passes at
him with lowered head. but he did
not move toward him, as much as 20
say: If You come up here, I'll butt
YOU"
Hi there, ye three vagabonds.
What are We deiH, prowling around
the city this tonne Of night? Where
Phwat, yer going to stand there and
defy me, are yez? Git out of there or
III pound the o:uomin' hide~off yez!"
and he feurished his club within u
few feet Of Billy's nose.
The next thing1the policeman knew
ne was lying fat on his back IN the
all Owe him. and then the three run
aways left hiEa blowing and sputter-
ing. They had only rua half q block
when they heard him blow his police
mans whistle. As they were just go
Ing to run faster on to Wabash ave-
ly in front of them from out an alley
they were about to. cross.
The officers were to surprised to do
anything, and Billy ran between
them. while Stubhy ran between the
legs of one of them, and Button be-
tween the legs of the other-and on
they went, unmolested.
\ The animals were truly surprised
when they reached Wabash avenue.
and thought they had suddenly come
into daylight. The electric street
lights together with those in the win
dows made everything 90 bright. it
seemed like day. While they were
h~esitating which way to go. q trolley
stared at the sight OF. a goat, dog INC
cat standing on the corner of a city
street at that time Of night. Just then
a fire engine went by and they tried
to follow it, but it went too fast. as it
was n of the new auto fire engines,
and not one drawn by horses. Pres
emily they found they were lost and
alone. for each had gone a different
way when they had tried to find their
way back.
Billy was getting very hungry, as
he had not eaten his hay, so began
to look for a grocery or feed store.
But all the grocery stores were closed
at that time of night. He could see
the fruits and vegetables displayed
inside the stores in the windows, but
all the doors We're locked. He had
about made up his mind to break In
to one Of them by smashing the win
dews. when he smelt the odor Of
cooking. and seeing a light stream
few feet ahead, he decided the smell
anne from there. SO he walked
along. and when he got in front OF
the door. he saw a sign which read,
Chop Suey.' and he knew it was q
Chinese restaurant. He fearlessly
pushed open the door and walked in.
He found himself in a medium-sized
room, filled with little tables, at
which China amen were sitting, eating
or smoking.
(You'll see Monday what a com
motion this started.)
