One of the old domestic sports of the
Earls of Menteith in their ishind home

SERVED HEn Rionr.—Once- upon a
time, a young lady, who desired to get
up with the lark in 'order to go on an
eloping tour, adopted the English plan,
and the lover was to be on hand at day
break to give the signal. , The string
used for the pedal communication was
a stout cord, and one end •was dropped
out of the third story window into the
back yard, and the other end, of course.
vas attached to the damsels great toe.
And the legend . runs that a healthy goat
of the Wallach pursuasion arose early
the ne xt morning to look for the early
worm, as it waif), and wandered into the
yard. After eating up all , the tomato
cans, barrel staves, and broken crockery
ware, he found the string and look that
as a dessert. As soon as l the cord was
drawn taught, • the goat stood upon his
bind legs and gave the string an impali
ive jerk. The girl awoke. The goat
gave another sudden pull, and the maid
jumped out of bed with a smothered cry
of pain. Then she stooped down to de
tach the cord just as the ridiculous beast
gave another ,violent jerk, and she lost
her equilibrium—and her toe too, al
most, the cord cutting into .the tender
flesh. sprang to the window, and
called out in a hoarse whisper;—
, “Stop pulling, Charles—l'll be down
In a minute."
Then she made another effort to untie
cord, but the persistent goat gave his
bead several angry bobs, and each time
the girl gave a cry of pain. Again' she
shortly Milled out in the darkness,—
"Clarks, yon , don't atop jerking
that wny,l will outcome down at all." '
She was answered by another savage
pull, and the cry of anguish that brake
from her lii:!LL brought her mother into
her room, with a look , of affiight and a
lighted limp. The young lady tainted,
the elopement 'was nipped in the bud,
