that the maps which had been on his table
were missing he fussed and he fumed But
It did no good, for tne maps were missing,
and that was all there was to It Some one
had to be punished, but why punish a goat?
You see, after Billy Bumpus had eaten
tho maps which he found on the general's
tahlo there was nothing for him to do but
t un and hide, and that was exactly what
he did as fast as he could Perhaps the
soldier who was running after him helped
a bit in making him hurry.
All was quiet once more, and Billy went
to sleep with a piece of the map under his
held He was saving that for breakfast
When Billy opened his ejes It was grow
ing daylight, and so he got up and started
out to see what was up He got as far as
the door when he thought of the map which
he had placed under his head the night be
fore, and so he went back and ate that.
It made him feel much better.
He trotted off while the camp was very
still Here nnd there he saw a guard
marching up and down with quiet and even
Head He smelled tho coffee cooking some
where and It gave him an Idea He would
visit the mess tent and see what there would
be to eat for breakfast.
Hj and bv he came to a tin can In the
grass, and he hastily took It in his teeth
and made foi a long tent, which was very
much larger than the others Getting un
der a table, he lay very quiet while he en
jojed his flrst tin can since he had left
home
Mv! It tasted good He licked the label
off first and then started on the can Itself.
He had not been busy very long before
he heard the tramp of many feet. 'They
mav be coming to kill me ! ' he thought.
' I guess there Is nothing to do but He
quietly here and watt for something to hap
pen "
He did nott have to wait very long, for
the men came and sat down at the table
under which our good friend Billy was quiet
ly eating his breakfast He looked this
way and that. Shoes wore everywhere I
Billy hurriedly at his tin can and then
looked around for something more to eat.
He did not have far to look, for shoe
strings were to the right of him and shoe
strings were to the left of him. He began
to eat, very quletlv. After he had eaten all
the shoestrings that were near him he
started on the shoes
Suddenly the mess tent was In an uproar.
Some one has discovered him!
