“Get out of there!” called the motorman again. But Lightfoot did not understand. The car slowed up a little, but still came on.
“Bump into him, Bill!” called the conductor to the motorman, and the next instant the fender of the street car struck Lightfoot’s lowered horns, and tossed him to one side over into a ditch full of weeds.
“Oh, dear! I’m hurt this time, sure!” thought poor Lightfoot. “I thought I could knock that car off the track, but, instead, it knocked me off! Oh, dear!”
CHAPTER III
LIGHTFOOT SAVES A GIRL
For a few seconds after Lightfoot had been tossed into the ditch full of weeds the goat could not get up or even move. The trolley car clanged on its way down the tracks.
“What happened?” asked some of the passengers.
“Oh, a goat got on the track and the motorman had to knock him off,” explained the conductor.
“I hope you didn’t hurt him,” said a little girl sitting in a front seat to the motorman.
