It came again and again, and she tumbled out of the hammock and ran down to the > m el o] ored woman came staggering up, and just as a big black goat was disappearing down the road. The colored woman was Aunt Tilda, the cook, and the goat was a goat un- known. “Oh, Miss Ruth!"” gasped the cook as she fell on the grass. “For the land's sake, Tilda, but what is it?” “It was a grissly b'ar, Miss Ruth, and he was gwine eat me up!” “Tilda!" “I declar’ to goodness it was!” “I saw a black goat fleeing down the road.” “Wall, mebbe it was a goat, but it is the same thing as a grissly b’ar. Lem- me git up to de veranda an’' I'll tell you all about it. Now, den, I went ober to Morton's didn't I?” “Yes.” “To see Hanner, de cook?” “Yes.” “Well, I saw her. She was in good speerits. She axed me when you was gwine to git married.” “The impudent thing!"” “Dat’'s zactly what I said to her. She said she wasn't, but she had had a dream dat you was gwine to fall in love wid somebody and git married. She sald dat sunthin’ wid horns on was gwine to bring it about. And goats have horns, and dar you am!” “Go to your kitchen!” Two hours later Miss Ruth Parsons took a little saunter up the highway. She had not progressed over ten rods when she heard a snort and saw that black goat bearing down upon her. She had just got inside the gate and swung it to when the horns of the goat struck it. She had screamed once or twice en route, and the cook was on the veranda. “Befo’ de Lawd, but dar's de sunthin’ wid horns dat de Hanner woman dreamed of!" At ten o'clock mext forenoon Miss | Ruth had a caller. He was a young man who gave-his name as Charley Ashley, and he explained his errand by saving: “I am at my sister's, eight miles away, on my school vacation. She is rather eccentric about pets, and has a big black goat which is a nuisance. He broke the rope with which he was tied the other day and disappeared, and I am looking for him. We have heard that he was seen this far away yesterday." “Yes, he was here,” was the reply. “He wanted to kill me, but I was for- | tunate enough to escape.” “I am sorry if he annoyed you.” “I was going to have him shot if he hung around here.” “Very proper. Of course, you don't know which way he went?” “T was too frightened to take no- TAMPA tice.” The conversation began at the ver- anda steps and ended at the gate, IR W. X.

She Is always slow about getting dressed and [ suppose now she'll b‘c slower than ever because she won't care if she does keep you waiting.” “Well, why shouldn’'t she care, I'd like to know ?” inquired the caller with an assumption of surprise designed to be comic. The young person hitched a little closer to him in her eagerness. “I just found out!” she told him, “tonight. I guess they weren't going to tell me, but sister was so interested in brush- ing out her switch that she didn't no- tice me and mother said: ‘You might | have done better if you'd more ambi-' tion, but, thank heaven, you're engaged ‘ at last!"

He's riding ‘ around a ranch out West now and he | always brought me chocolates and petted the dog and waited hours and hours for sister. Mother told her one day for goodness’ sake when she got her hauds on that huge old Samscn house to burn it down and put up an- other one with a French gray dmwing room, and other things, but I guess Bob slipped a cog somehow—" “Er—wha.?” “Well, Aunt Clara said to mother that a cog in the wheels must have slipped somehow and how did he ever get away and wasn't it a pity! So I suppose Bob did it. I always liked his chocolates—he brought me just as good ones as he brought sister. Some- | times they try to pass off cheap candy on me, but I know! Then I feed it to the dog. “I'm glad it wasn't that Siddens man. He always called me ‘little one’ and patted my head and he had bron- chitis and always coughed before he spoke, and sister said she didn't care if he was rich, but she couldn't endure a man who wore brown ties and ate ' grapefruit with a fork and anyhow he gave her the shivers. That was the time mother scolded so and sister went to Aunt Clara’s for a month, “I'm surprised at her getting en- gaged, because she'll have to have a house and meals then and she says picking out things to eat is simply | awful and she wouldn't wear her life away keeping down the groce ry bills for any man and he might as well make up his mind to it. Anyhow, sis- | ter never loses her head, because mother says so, and she'll make him toe the mark. Mother says that with her sweet smile sister could make a man believe white was black, but that seems foolish. Wouldn't black if you saw it?” “I used to think I was able to dis- tinguish colors,” admitted the caller “But you're different,” said the young person. “It isn't as though you were one of sister's trailers—that's what dad calls 'em. It doesn't make any difference to you. Only 1 thought if I told you about it you'd underst; and why she didn't hurry to get down here, now she's interested in one par- ticular man.” “Well,” said the caller, “I'll tell you a secret. I'm the particular man!” The young person's eyes bulged. “Honest?" she squealed. “wW hy, I wasg never so sur-r-p-prised in my lllife!
