Well, Tom, if this ain't 1uck!" said one tramp to the other; ito find that goat just when we had given up all hope of ever settin' eyes on him | again! And did ye see the way them animals went on like they was in a circus? Bless mel But I believe | they have been in one and run away!"
 Guess they was, Jim. If that is so, it's all the better fer us. Wen l cabbage all four of 'em and make 'em go through them antics fer us they was goin' through to please them selves. Tell you what, we can make lots and lots money with them goin' around the country"
 Happy thought! They'll be more of a novelty than a brass band or a hand organ and a monkey But how are we to get 'em away from the farmer?"
 "Oh, that'n be easy! We'll steal 'em some night"
 Well. how in the dickens are you goin' to steal four live animals and hile them? Each one of them would take a regiment to catch and keep" said the younger of the kidnappers
 That's what your massive brain has to help me think out" replied the elder.
 ''If you're askin' for my advice it is this: Give up tryin' to get any of them except the goat. You'll find he will be more than both you and me can manage, at thati"
 "Oh, don't be a quitteri Think of the money we will squeeze out of the tight-fisted farmers and the pieces of pie and the doughnuts their wives will hand out to us when we appear in their barn yards and make the animals go through their mon- keyshines.''
 "Oh, am not a quitter, but tell you now. you will live to see the day you'll wish you had let 'em alone and taken my advice"
 "Stop throwin' cold water on a feI- ler's plans! I always did hate a fe1- Ter that was afraid to take chances"
 "AlI right! Your blood be upon your head, but when that Billy goat has butted you into the middle of next week. and the burro nearly kicked your head off, and the dog nearly chewed your shin bone, while the cat tries to scratch out your eyes, don't come to me for sympathy, for If you do you won't get 1t, so there!''
 "I guess you won't have to wait long after you get mixed up with 'em. If you intend to steal 'em tonight. we'd better be gettin' a move on our- selves, for I'm pretty hungry and we won nave much tune To stop Ter meals when we once git hold of your
 nenagerie. that's my opinion" said Tom.
 What do you say" asked Jim. ''to our goin' right up to that farmhouse where the animals are now and tryin' to htreout as harvesters? If they don't want us. we'll ask to be allowed to help him with his chores for sup per and a nights lodging in his barn. We'll be real soft-soapy and honey boy to his wife and him. and I'll help him milk his cows, feed the chickens and do up his chores. while you help his wife draw the water, peel the po- tatoes, and get supper ready. They'll let us do 1t, and when we are locked In the barn it will be easy to get out and get the animals away under cover of the darkness. What say you7''
