stated victoria mr van amps unsophisticated slater expected to cora- cijftdt ment i replied your brother has 4 jlj reputation of be- nvi ing an expert trades- vaju roan undoubtedly 9 tory he bought the goat to trade van does trade farm stock but tie didnt buy the goat to trade persisted victoria as i saw no logical reason why a shrewd tradesman should buy a goat for the mere sake of owning a goat i made no answer vic toria continued its like this miss leonard van was brought up from childhood de prived of playthings our neigh bors the hubbards were well-to- do their boys had everything bi cycles guns pigeons and goats our boys only had garden tools and a wheelbarrow van used to run away and stay in the pasture with the hubbard goats its only a child ish whim of vans now to have a goat of his own- the babbit girls told me a woe ful story about rags last mon day afternoon he chewed off his tether rope and then went to the clothesline and chewed up the weeks wash ill have van keep rags in the barnyard vowed victoria th have him fix the fence van did he worked hours adding an extra toprail with evil eyes the goat stood watching ready to butt viciously whenever van ven tured inside although he built a corral mr van gamp had no intention of keep- tag rags in it a summer boarder awah gamps yi assumed a neutral attitude in their family differences therefore when van let the goat out back of the barn bravely har nessing him into a goatcart to go driving around rockhlu i knew all about the affair while victoria who puritanically would not tolerate any such tomfoolery did not know the first house across meadow- brook bridge is van gamps be hind this house rises a roundtopped hill abounding in boulders the rocky pasture sloping to meadow- brook pond hitherward to the pond this saturday morning in my bath ing suit went i and hitherward riding in his iron goatcart to rockr hill went mr van gamp i barely had time to gather my important manuscript papers and scramble out of the way to avoid being run over with momentum the goat speeded down and out into the bot tomless pit where the iron cart forthwith sank solicitously i looked down into the still deep water but i saw nobody nothing in my bathing suit i went up into the pasture when x shouted only mournful rock echoes came mockingly back to me at last i scudded home victoria was in the kitchen mak ing pies where is mr van gamp in quired i i spose hes in the meadow lot planting potatoes well hes had a runaway that sorrel mare again fumed victoria ive advised van to trade off that nervous mare she away from me one day leaving me at lhe postofnee to walk home didnt you see van no but his team dashed down into the pond victoria continued to make pies i wonder what could have hap pened to mr van gamp persisted i well i cant leave my pies very well declared victoria dutifully but ill telephone for men to help victoria went to the telephone while i returned to the dale of the disaster i found the goat chewing up my shoes and silk stockings which i had mindlessly left behind me presently came victorias help policemen coast guardsmen men of the fire department followed by the endless throng of weekend joy riders needless to say they found mr van gamp they found him leaning bewildered against a boulder with a gash in bis head he supposed he had been asleep 20 years on monday following van traded the goat with billy browns father for a rooster i didnt want pay i gave blqy the goat van explained to me con fidentially but brown offered a rooster id been wanting thats how we happened to
