Billy Vhiiskers
By Frand g Treeo Montgomery.

At the first warning sound from the l hostler, the two goats had become rig l i'd as marble statues, and not a mus 1 Gle moved until the song dragged 1 slower and slower and still shower. 1 and then trailed off into nothingness. 1 Billy Junior was the first to venture l a peep, and lodged down to announce: | He's a sleepyhead, sure enough Shores will soon begin once more. Now just a little bit more burrow1ng l and then, dear sister Nan. we're even 1 againi''
 Even before the first streaks of rosy light in the east heraIded the coming 1 of the sun Father William awoke with a long yaWn, though he quickly sttfled it when he remembered where he was and how he came to be there.
 "Oh, my! Oh. my!" he groaned to himself I'm as stiff as four sticks I don't-believe-I can-move-a muscIeI"
 A steaIthy movement beside him at that instant told that his companion had reused, and the older goat snuggled his nose through the loose hay until he touched his sons cold nose. A more enthusiastic morning greeting Father William had never had than the youngster now gave him, though not a word was uttered.
  pered Billy Junior. Every bone in my poor body is aching. How many have I to ache? Seems like six mill Mon at Ieast.''
 Since you mention it. I'll acknowI- edge I'm Q trif1e stiff, too,'' quietly re- turned the other. This rack isn't as good a bed as it might be. and besides was all curled up into a, tight ball.
 ''Ah well. it's worth an ache or two &f, cSI, only goat in this expedition said her brother, to strengthen his reso1u- tion to see the undertaking through as much as to comfort his comrade.
 Good thing we like hay" went on Father William.
 "Yes. Our breakfast is right at hand. We'd likely go hungry if that didn't please us. But we'd better curb our appetites fov a. few hours or we may be discovered. We cannot spare any of our covering.''
 Realizing the truth of this they merely munched a few mouthfu1s and called 1t their morning meal, though far from their usual allowance.
 Scarcely had they finished when the great sliding doors squeaked on their rollers. and a husky voice inquired:
 Everything ready for the hay-rtd- CTS, Sambo ?"
 1eSs san! answered the negro bustl1ng up to the owner of the sta ble.
 'That all the hay you're going to put on the wagon?"
 tAh-ah thought that shore was '11uf. sahi"
 ''Why, 'twould jolt the girls to pieces. Up you go into the now and fork down some more hay!"
 Casting anxious looks behind, as though fearing his employer might hasten his climb up the ladder, Sambo mounted int0 the mow and in & moment down came a generous fork full and another and another followed rapidly until the rack was thickly covered.
 CTomorrow you'll hear about the hayrack rfde.)
