' ' • Wig mIxammayttai.ka In Billy's job, as in many positions where men have won fame and distinetion, it is personality that counts. It is his mission in life' to inspire confidence,. and to lure innocent sheep and lamps to their. destruction with as great alacrity and lightness of gait as if they were skipping to the fields of Elysium, and this he does to the Kines, taste; he was born for his task. Though but two years old he has a, substantial beard, and long white hoary locks. His mien is gentle and there are no horns visible which miglat giVe rise to fatal sus- picions. But in his eyes there is an air of command, backed by the force cf a portly frame, which enables Billy to do what he will with, the sheep and lambs which come within his ken, and even influences calves to keep a straight path.. In the busy season he saves the salaries of five men; in ordinary times he does the work of two,. or three. . Be was three months old when he arrived at the Canadian Pacific - Stock Yards, Montreal, but he took to the work at once. He followed' the heels of the men, and while other animals tried at the work had: -to be coaxed to labor by rewards of cake and biscuits, Billy needed no such spur, but in three months time would glance at the sheep, comfortably, start off at a cheerful trot and without hesitation the, doomed animals would surround him and hap.pily ascend the winding • runway to the abattoir nearby. Then at a cosni-eand he would go back and coax any stragglers, till he had all at hand ready to be1 slaughtered. Now to look at Billy, it might seem that he did this work in all - innocence, and that he was quite unaware that he had led his charges to any harm; but that would be doing an injustice to Billy's mighty intellect, He leads the flock right to the edge of the platform where, they are killed, but then he carefully edges to the wall, keeping as far as possible from the danger point till he reaches the only spot of safety, then he slides back from the helpless sheep, wriggles out - and goes back for another lot. • 3 3, His treachery does not weigh on his spirits, he is utterly come; pideent and self-salisfied, impatient to be on tile job,. ..„ CO& 4.EZMV War- ..k.r.V.M'a, aetoPtetaqav.. 4 . • especti g xchange Rates N all matterof foreign exchange our arrangements for keeping in touch. with the world' exchange mar- -kets assure you prompt service.
