under him were many captains, men of r,
nown, Ethiopians and Nubians and the tribe
Of Metropolitan, and great was the valo

Log were filed with rich treasure, gold An
silver, and green stuas Of inestimable price
of the treasure Of the children of Cannon
whom Log, the King, had come to rule owe
and despoiL Wherefore the people cam
together to the number Of many thousands
and said unto each other:
behold! our yoke is heavy and grievou
to bear.
And the chief men among them mad
known unto the King the murmurs Of tn
people. And Log answered them, saying
Whereas my father, Grandass, hath lade yo'
with heavy yoke, viii add to your yoke
He chastised You with whips, but with scor
pions.
When this saying was told to the childrel
Of Cannon they blew q trumpet Throughout
all the land, crying out with loud voice
Lo this man hath been an abomination unit.
us, 10 these many days.
And it came to pass that the people gath
cred together to fight with the captains o
Log.
And there was with Log chamberlains, wis
men and cunning, and the name of one wa.
Paca, and Of another, Lon.
And Lon was mighty warrior Of old, ani
he saith unto Log, the King. Let us &c
down after the rebelious ones, the children Of
Cannon, and spoil them by night until the
morning light, and let us not leave man Of
them. And the King answered !: Do whatso-
ever seemeth good unto thee.
Paca, the chamberlain, remained with Log
to comfort him for he trembled exceedingly,
and was sore afraid.
Lon, the bloody man of war, gathered an
host Of the tribes Of the Metropolitan and Of
the Ethiops, and went out to fight against the
children of Cannon.
And it came to pass that the men of Gam.
mon prevailed over the Logites, and smote
them hip and thigh, and great was the
slaughter thereof
When the captains OF Log saw that they
were in a strait they did hide themselves in
caves and rocks, and high granite places and
pits.
And Paca led away Log, the King into the
Utmost sanctuary.
All throughout the country Of Louisiana,
Gammonites prevailed and waxsd exceeding
strong.
When Grandass, the father Of Log, who was
King of the whole land heard how the tribes
had revolted, he was very wroth, and being
filled with excess Of wine, he swore mighty
oath. "As the devil iveth, shall be re-
venged upon this stif-necked people,"
And he commanded unto his chief man,
Williar, the son of Beelzebub. that he should
make ready by land and sea to smite the
children Of Cannon.
CHAPTER II.
In the third year of the reign Of Log, Log
lreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was
;roubled, and his sleep brake from him.
And the King commanded to call the wise
md men Of counsel, and they came and stood
osfore the King, Pacca, Of the tribe of Krapt-
,aggsrs, Lon. the Skalawag, and many others
# the family Of Kustomouse.
And the King said unto them, II have
|reamed dream and am troubled"
Then spake they as with one voice, 20,
King, live forever! Tell thy servants the
natter"
And the King answered s'Show me the in
and the cure for the thing, and |
e shall receive Of me gifts and rewards Of
onox."
And they showed it unto him with subtle
and false speech.
Then did Log, the King, make great feast
u the chief men Of Radicalis, and did eat
he substance Of the people, and rejoiced ex-
eedingly much in the power of Grandass, the
Iuler Of the land
''And in the same hour came forth the fin
ers of mans hand, and wrote on the granite
alls Of the Kings palace, and the King saw
part Of the hand that wrote"
"Then the Kings countenance was changed
nd his thoughts troubled him, 80 that the
,ints of his loins were loosened, and his
nees smote one against another"
Then called the King aloud for Democracos,
no WAS prophet and questioned him con-
,rning the writing. And Democracos spake,
.ying: This = the writing, INDIANA, OHIO,
EW YORK; and this is the Interpretation Of
70 thing:
The days Of thy reign art numbered.
The voice Of an oppressed people hath
sssed terrible judgment on the works Of
y hands.
Thy kingdom shalt be taken away, and :
lother shalt rule in thy place.
And in that very night came the children Of
ammon and slew Log, the King, and every
an of the company with him.
