STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUMPUS HILLY EATS SHRAPNEL Hy Farmer Smith Billy Bumpus did not expect to rest In the barn back of the general's house very long There ho wns on tho hay enjoying llfo nnd listening to tho pounding of the guns nt taiget practlco. By and bv lie heard s.olces and he knew thnt somo one was after him why some one was after him almost nil the time He got up nnd sneaked out tho back door and went off In tho direction of tho firing. The nrtlllerymen wero too busy with their practice to notlco Billy ns he trotted In and out imong tho guns There were many things to be considered First, there was the correct distance to be Judged and tho smoke to bo avoided, so that there was enough work without locating stray goats which might wander Into the line of action. Billy came nlongsldo of one of the gun romethlng which interested him greatly It was made of stetl and painted black on top And vermilion on tho bottom Billy began to nibble It tasted good nnd so be kept on until he had flnlbhcd tho whole thing, which happened carriages and to his wonder discovered to be shrapnel No sooner had ho devoured it than the holdler nearest him discovered what Billy had done and started after hlm shouting. "Look out for that goat'" The voice could hardly bo heard above the roar f tho cannon, but the man who gavo chase knew that if something were not dono there waa a chance of Billy blowing up It happened that tho shrapnel which Billy had eaten weighed thirteen and a half pounds, and It made Billy feel very very heavy. He did not run very far, but lay down where ho wa, expecting his end to como nt any time As soon as tho artilleryman had told the other soldiers what had happened, there was a council and one and all decided to let Billy stay whero ho was "If we hit him. tho shrapnel will explode Inside of him and blow us up," said the captain. He then gave orders to one of his men to slay and guard Billy. "Humn'" thought Billy Bumpus. "Isn't It a grand idea to bo so Important you stop a target practice' I wish that mule could kick me now and we both would bo blown up How sweet to die from a mule's kick." Just at that moment Billy felt a bite on the end of his tail "Hey, there, little flea. Be careful how you blto me, for I am full of powder and shot and likely to blow us both up " Tho flea only gave Billy a harder bite and then stopped. 'Get up and walk around a little," said tho flea to Billy. "Can't too full of powder and shot," re piled Billy. Bite I "Do please let me alone," whined Billy. "I can't move and I can't be shot there be careful' You will kill us both yet." The squeaky voice auswereu, 'The Idea of tho pet of tho army being afraid of a little flea like me. I should think you would bo ashamed to say such things." Bite! "It's the little things In this world that make all the trouble," answered Billy 'The big things we 'an get at I dare not bend over and get you tor fear I will explode " "Chercho-o-o-o-o I" the little flea sneezed o loud it mad Billy Jump "Careful I" shouted Billy.
