OLOMON, the Carutbera' gooM<>, had grown ho plump ami ho pompotrs that It seemed as if he must be aware that preat things were ex* pected of him at the holiday dinner, and was doing his beat to ful till expectations. "Sol omon la almost as inuch <& a responsibility as Johnnie," Mrs. Oaruth er* Mid one day, when her husband wa? extricating Solomon from a tight place In the poultry yard fence. "I begin to be afraid that haying him so much on our minds and in our com* pany may affect our appefltea for our Christ ma* dinner. As the holiday approached the whole yard began to look small for Solomon, Carrie Caruthers, coming In one day from a walk, complained that he had strenuously objected to making way for her on the walk. "Really, mother, It makes me feel as If we oughtn't to eat him," she said, coloring a little. "He seems too human." "Dear me, child!" said Mrs. Caruth ers hurriedly. "Don'fc&entlon that be fore Johnnie." The next 'afternoon Johnnie came running into the house In great excite ment. "The Leonard dog is chasing Solomon," he wept. "Muvver, come and make him go home!" Mr*. Caruthers looked out. Solomon was certainly having a perilous adven? ture. The Leonard dog was circling about hlin, making vicious charges. Nothing butv the spreading of Solo mon's formidable wings and hi* harsh outcries saved him. "My ! what a dreadful dog!" exclaimed Mrs. Caruth ,ers, hurrying to the rescue. There was ear-splitting squawking from the terrified goose. "Murver! Muvver!" cried Johnnie, bursting info heartrending wails. Airs. Caruthers picked up a stick and made a motion of throwing it. "Go home !" she commanded sternly. The dog spread his feet and shook his head. "Bow-wow !" lie returned Impudently. She threw the stick. It seemed to he the only thing she could do. The Leonard dog whirled arouftd in nn anguish of pain and astonishment. I Then, realizing that he had heen worsted, he departed on three legs for .his kennel. "You hit hini, muvver! You hit him !" exulted Johnnie. The frightened goose sat hunched under a tree, his head burled In his back. Some of the feathers were gone from his tail, and patches of flufYy down were blowing about the yard. ? "West If I can see what there Is about that goose to fascinate an en tire family," said Mr. Caruthers, ap pearing suddenly behind them. "If you don't look out, Lucy, you'll be re fusing your favorite hip slice when Christmas comes." Ulp slice! Solomon's hip slice! Mrs. Caruthers could scarcely restrain a shudder as she glanced at the heap of feathers huddled In a corner. What a cannibalistic vision ! "Oh. please, Austin, don't speak of It !" she begged. "Tell fa'iher what happened, dear/* ? Johnnie, Incoherent from agitation, told the story of the attack and res "Go Home!" She Commanded S*?mly. ?ue.

The day before he had hoard his Aunt Kunlce eall the doctor a "foregone conclusion." He watched him narrowly, tr>;ne to discover how a "foregone (conclusion" differed from other men He thought, on the whole.

"Tlow much of htin do >o? l think j ou cnu cut?" The little face he waa looking at ontracted suddenly and painfully. It vai the first time Johnnie had ra?l taed that Christina* meant ? atlug ' Solomon ! Actually eating him! He was filled with the most passionate repulsion. "I won't fat him ! Nobody's going to eat him ! I won't let anybody ?St him!" Tlu* whirlwind of deflauce ended In a Imrst of tears. Mra. Ca rut her* put her arm around her grieving ton. "Nobody shall eat Solomon," she whispered. "fr'urver would." "Not when he knows how you fael about It. .Don't cry any more about It, dear." In her absorption in Johnnie Mrs, Carutbera did not hear Doctor Arnold nay to Carrie Caruthers: "Wouldn't It he a kindness to the child to draw at tention from him? Carrie ? give me leave, won't you?" "Oh, If It's necessary for Johnnie's peace of mind I suppose you may," aald Carrie, bluahlng rosily. "Say, Johnnie," said Doctor Arnold, "did you know that I'm thinking of carrying Carrie off to my house ao that thero'll be plenty of room for Solotnon here?" , Johnnie noticed that thla remark seemed to strike hla mother dumb. To him, personally, it did not aeem an al together objectionable arrangement, although he thought It very foolish for Doctor Arnold not to know that there was room enough for Solomon and Carrie, too, in that great houae. "Car rie ain't going off to your house to Uv%," he wild sternly. "I won't let her." "Oh. is that ao?" said the doctor. "I hardly know what to do about It, then, for I've asked her and she said she was willing to go." Johnnie turned an unbelieving eye on his sister. It was a shock when "Carrie Ain't Going Off to Your House to Live." she nodded yes. He did not for fin in stant believe It. He was sure thai Ctlrrle was afraid; that she did not dare say anything but y*s to such a big, determined person as the youn# doctor. lint lie was not afraid If Car rie was. He'd show him! He'd tell him something he knew about him! "You're foggone 'elusion !" he shouted wrathfully: "that's what yon are ! , Aunt Eu ? " "Johnnie!" Mrs. Caruthers seized him so violently that the end of the preposterous assertion was shaken lntc Inaudibility. It had been to her that Aunt Eunice had made the statement and her heart died within her when she heard It on Johnnie's lips. "We'll talk about it some other time, dear," she said, trying to smile down her af fronted son's Ire and conscious thai Carrie and Doctor Arnold were gazing at her in amazement. "Don't you think we had better be gating' Solomon'? supper now?" It was an unlucky remark. Johnnie'* face puckered. "I don't want anybody to eat Solomon." he reiterated mis erably. "Austin." Mrs. Camtherx called tc ; her husband, who was coming out ol the garage. "Come here, please. Thlj may as well be settled now." "What's the matter now, sonni boy?" asked Mr Caruthers. approach lng. "I don't \*nnt anybody to eat Solo mon. farver." "Don't worry." said Mr. Caruthers Ir his cheerful tone. "I've changed mj mind. 1 think turkey will suit us al better than g>ov?. for our Christmas dinner this y?ur. and I'm going to or der'the biirirest and fnftest turkey 1 can And in tlie market and Solomor shall live forever.
