The
Christinas
Goose
By CP-MA K. CHUTK
(Copyrljfht, lltf, MeC lur? N?w?p?ytr Hjrn
dtoat*.).
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.

Ju*t then t'nrrie Caruthers and m
.'iuiu' man enme around the corner of
t lie house and came to Join them.
Johnnie observed young Dwtor Arnold
with Interest. 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.
J that it would he rnthor nice to he on
; friendly tern)* with a "foregone con
elusion." so he moved nearer and tim
idly announced that Solomon was h
C*hrl?tM?? ~r>oso
"H'V r *|dendid big fellow." ?ald
: h? young doctor heartily. "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
