BILLY GOAT
By
MICKEY FINN
(Copyright, 1«*. by Krneal Jarrold )
IT was Christmas eve, and Patrick
I>oolan, the foreman of the gas
work*, bad summoned « goodly
company of Ills friend# to cole
-1 irate the holiday season and the ar
rival of two barrels of Irish turf front
his native town. A bushel #f thla peaj
lay glowing lu tbe flrepi«c«. While tb«
isuow was aoftly piling itself upon the
window casings arxl the wind was tak
ing llberttea with the sbuttera Judy
Callahan alyly pinned upon the lapel
of Dick Walsh, tbe letter carrier, a
sprig of Irish Ivy. By Inquiry from
rheumatic Flaherty. who sat In tbe
Ingle nook nourishing his shins, Dick
learned that the symbolic meaning of
Irish Ivy Is "I cling to thee." Judy's
shriek a moment later Indicated that
" 'TWAS THItKB MONTHS O' STB AT Ul
CARROTS."
Dick had taken advantage of tha lu
formation. Just then Jack Doolan, the
youthful heir to the l>oolan estate, put
his head inside the door.
"Father, can I in tbe nanny?
The snow Is falliu' on her through the
roof, and she's treiublln' wld the
cowltl."
"Of course, my son," said Mr. Doo
lan heartily. "Bring her lu. We don't
want our milk watered."
"That's a folne baste you have
there," said Flaherty. "How mucli
milk does she give?"
"Two quarts a day, but she used to
give three quarts a day before her hus
band died. She's plnln' away since that
time, poor gur'rl. I think 'tis the love
sickness she lias," said Mr. Doolan.
"Dear, dear, look a' that, now!" said
Mrs. Keagan sympathetically. "I al
ways said that nanny goats was sinta
mintle. And how long is the billy goat
dead, Mr. Doolan?"
" 'Tis Ave years the 24th day o' this
mouth," replied Doolan. "Sorra day
'twas whin we lost Ilirous. A moro
gaynial nor a more willln' gout you
would not flnd In all Ilar-rlem. Sure
his death was a tragedy and a calam
ity."
"How was that?" quavered old man
Dougherty, the stonemason.
"Well," resumed Doolan, "'twas a
tragedy the way he was translated and
a calamity whin hla death took away
the only chance I ever had o' makln' a
fortune.
" 'TIs quare about goats," continued
Doolan. "They are born wid a certain
amount of eddlcashun. Show me tho
goat that wouldn't know a cabbage or
a turnip whin he sees it. Of course a
goat knows nothln' about machinery.
There was a goat that used to atop the
horses drawln' a street car, but whin
they put a trolley car on the track you
couldn't And that much o' the goat as
would grease a griddle. But a goat can
be eddlcated wid sugar and a strap to
do tricks. Now, I suppose none o' ye
would beileve me If I told ye that
I taught Htrcus to dance as tine a jig
or hornpipe us ever you saw In a thea
ter."
A chorus of disbelief arose.
"Yes," said Doolan, "and no Frlnch
lady could do a finer past soul on her
toes, as they say In the heathen lan
guage. You must remember that I was
very poor, and I'd be layln' awake
nighU tblnkln' o' some plaQ by way o'
makln' a fortune, and whin my wjfe
bought tbe two kldn to 4s«rtjhe dairy
the Idee came to me like a flash—l could
eddlcate the goat to dance. Whin I got
that Idee In me head 1 could think of
fcothln' MIM. ('aasldy, bow much moo
ey do you think a dancln' goat could
earn on a theater atage?"
"Well," replied Cassldy, "I should
think that 9300 a week would be none
too llttla for ao dlgnarloua a curiosity."
"Thera," reaumed Doolan. "D'ye bear
what Caaaldy saya? Three hundred
dollars a week for half an hour's work
a day! Faith, I felt the money in ma
hand! But 'twas weary work teachln'
the goat. An old animal trainer told
me that < ruelty and kiudness mlsed
would do the Job. Whin the goat
minded me I tickled Ills rllis and gave
lilm carrots but whin lie got stubborn
I lathered him with a strap. Mrs.
O'Brien. \.iii roiiicnilter the time we
liud teMfb n' lllrrti* to walk across tbe
room on ids bind leg-- V"

nrn," Mil. l Flaherty, rlslncr and putting
on his bat, "but 1 must leave ye. A
dancln' Ko.it Is too much for my vorac
ity. I couldn't swallow it."
When the door bail closed Doolan
wci tv "Kvery uigbt after rapper
tbe table was shoved back agin the
wall and the lesson began. And. would
you believe It, It takes three months
to teach goat to stand on his hind
legs for lv« mlnulc*! After that 'twas
easier, "fltere was a little gur-rl named
Ellen next door that took a great Inter
eat !• the eddlcatlon of tbe goat. She
was about the size of the goat whin
•he stood up, and 'twas pure Joy to see
Htrcus waltzln' around the kitchen to
the music of my fiddle. With the goat's
head on her ahoulder and her arms
around hla neck tbey would whirl slow
ly around In the dawdlln' circles of the
mazy, as the poet saya"—
"How perfectly lovely!" exclaimed
Judy Callahan.
"After the lesson was over eacti
nlglit I used to give tha goat all klnda
of tasty thlnga, like potato peellnli,
cabbage atunips and auch like, as a
reward, and 'twas tha habit o' keepln'
tbe goat hungry all day that led to the
loss o' my fortune. 'Twas three months
0' strap and carrota before tbe goat
eould do a daclnt heel nnd toe, work as
hard as I might, and two weary
months before be would nod Ills head
aud make a bow the same as if he was
before an nwjence."
"Ilark to that now," said Dougherty
to Judy Callahan In a whisper. "A
goat makln' a bow!"
"As I said before," Doolan went on,
"when tbe gor.t had learned to bow at
a wink we made his bally suit. The
thing that cost the most was the skirt,
made of red silk and shaped like a
parasol. It looked like a hollyhock
turned upside down. Then we put a
little green cap wid a red tassel on the
goat's head anil a pair o' white slip
pers on bis feet. And whin we showed
him his picture in tbe glass he grinned
like a woman puttln' on her Sunday
bonnet. Tbe tears fill me eyes whin I
think that ouly for that Joker Reagan
I might be rldln' in me own divvll
wagon wld rubber wheels.
"The first public appearance of the
goat as a bally dancer took place In u
barn In tbe Bronx. We fixed up a
stage wid planks aud boxes, anil 25
cents was charged at the door. The
ftews got around, aud long before the
time to begin tbe show the barn was
crowded to tbe doors. Half the roof
was gone off tbe barn, but that hurt
notliin', for the night was clear. I was
so afraid that the goat wouldn't do his
work that I gave him nothln' to eat
for twelve hours before he came on the
stage, and the poor beast was fair fain
Ished. Whin I walked out on the stage,
band In hand wld the goat, I thought
the awjenee would go crazy. They
yelled wid sheer delight whin the goat
made his bow, and every man in tho
barn was on his feet, and a hundred o'
them had cabbage leaves and carrots
in their pockets to give to the goat, like
the ladles have bokays to give to the
play actors. As the goat whirled
around doin' a waltz he would stop
now anil then to pick a bit o' cabbage
or turnip that some one threw on tho
stage. But 'twas what that rogue Rca-
"B8 wznu.ai> AROUND wmocr TOUCHI*
THE FLOOR."
gan threw that the goat liked the best.
They looked like little pieces o' bread
covered wld sugar. The goat picked
up so many o' the little chunks that tl;e
crowd yelled to put lteugau out be
kase he was stoppln' the show, and 1
had hard work to get the goat danciu'
agMu. After that the goat seemed to
get lighter and lighter upon ills feet
until he hardly touched the stage
There were times when he whirled
•round In the air wklout touchln' the
floor, and tbe crowd guspln' wid" as
tonishment at tbh* wonderful l>ca.st
Aud while be whirled he seemed tot
