The Girl Who Won

She faltered, happily: mot

Want you? Are you crazy,
girl? Don't you understand
I'll be simply counting the
hours? That I'm in love with
you?"
"Honest?"-wistfully.
"Cross my heart, and if it
isn't true, may die the very
next minute!"

looking at you, darling" begged

While we are still talking
Of pets we once owned" we
want to mention Gigli, our be-
loved little Angora goat.
Gigli was a dwarf, not more
than 18 or 20 inches in height.
His coat was a lovely fluffy
white and after we had washed
him in soap flakes it stood out
around him like a mist. When
we were making him especially
beautiful we used to take
bit Of gold paint and touch up
his tornS. He lid magnificent
horns and when they were all
shining gold and his coat
'fluffed to silver he WAS a
picture.
When Gigli was just a tiny
thing the family thought it
was funny to teach him to
butt. He was so little it was
amusing to see him coming
charging along so fiercely. It
wasn't so funny, however, when
he had attained his full growth.
Even 10 inches of goat pro-

Of both and would walk along
with us quite pleasantly. I'm
til we wanted to go in differ
ent directions. Then we gen.
orally had to yield to his
wishes. He could pull like
an OK.
He was especially devoted
to one member of the family.
One day one Of the dogs got
into his pen and went for him.
The stable boys insist to this
day that Gigli yelled:
"Harry, Harry"
We weren't there at the
time so we can't say. But we
could well believe it. He was
50 smart he did everything but
talk. And under stress Of great
fear he might have even man.
aged that.
We ought to add that Harry
got there in time to save him
from the dog.
Incidentally another dog we
had at the time, a fluffy little
white Maltese terrier, who espe-
cially hated Gigli. She was too
small to bother him but she
would glare and glare. We al
ways had a notion that the
other dogs leased her about
him-on the grounds that their
coats were so alike. We could
imagine some such conversation
as this between '"Toddie," the
Maltese, and the others.
The others:
'Yah-yah, we told you you
weren't o dog. Look at that
goat and believe it."
