neau OF tDe mouse. Him ne cdlleU Olr,
when he spake with him face to face, and
he uncovered his head and his knees smote
together when he stood before him, and his
flesh became as goose flesh under summer
gauze on a December day, and the cold
sweat that ran down his cheeks was like
unto March rain on gravely hillside.
For of verify the head Of the house had
been the chief man of tine La-Las when
Denims was but kid. And it was so that
thrice had Denims come out from his pres
ence unable to stand before him, and had
whispered hoarsely: ''The old man is onto
me-" Which is sign unto all men of the
tribe of Drummahs that a mans sin hath
found him out.
But on the highway Denims called the
head of the house Boss and "Old Man, F"
and boosted himself, and cried in the streets:
81 am too fly for the Old Man."
And in the caravan he called about him
the men Of the tribe of Familymen, and
Husbandmen, and the Printahs and Re-
potahs and all the rest. And he told unto
them new story. Now the same was
written On the tablets of Sennacherib, and
was nine thousand and eight hundred and
seventy and seven years old when it was
new at first And at the first it was second
hand.
And while he told it they all Numbered
and slept. But DENNIS, the son of Mill
prints, opened his mouth with mirth, and
ceased not from laughter until the caravan
stopped at the khan for dinner. And he
told it thrice ut dinner. And he said: SIT
is corker.'
But they held their peace. Nevertheless,
they wished that it were even so as he had
said. For then could they cork something
with it and be at rest.
In the Way of the Desert.
Now it came to pass that the caravan
stopped on a flag. Now flag is q sign
nnto the caravan to stop % seconds at New
Metropolis City, where there is water
tank and o cattle chute, and thrice year a
passenger.
And when the caravan stayed there Joined
himself unto it Haiseed the son of Thistle
pod. Now he brought his mouth along
with him, for he said, "Of verify I shall
want to see something and peradventure to
hear something"
And he held his mouth wide open, and
with it he heard the oft-told story of
Denims, the son of Millprints, and with it,
moreover, he viewed the swift-fying land
scape. And as the sight of his mouth was
dim, he opened wide the window of the car,
and leaning far out into the atmosphere,
viewed the landscape o'er with his shoulder
blades.
And it came to pass that the man with
the punch, who was of the servants of the
sons of Ar-Ar, came softly unto Haiseed
the husbandman and cried unto him,
'Tikt!'
But Haiseed was speechless for he knew
not the speech of the tribe of the sons of
Ar-Ar. And the man with the punch was
wroth, and spake unto him roughly and
said: "Hain chugotta tikt?" Which by
Interpretation is, "Have you not tieket?"
And Haiseed, the son5of Thistlepod, said,
"Yea, verify" and straightway sought for
it. Now he had upon his raiments an e1-
ceedingly great multitude of pockets, inso-
much that his garments were perforated
with them. And he sought in them all, be-
ginning at the greatest and seeking through
them even unto the least.
And the men of the caravan, and the
merchants and the outgoing prodigals and
the reformed prodigals, mocked him and
cried after him "Seek for it in thy shoe;"
"Hast thou not another pocket yet in thy
shirt sleeve" "Behold, thou hast taken it
in with thy soft eating tobacco!"
But his heart melted like wax within him,
and he said: "Noah didday wunbutta bleevi
lostut." Which is, being interpreted, 81
am positive that 1 had ticket, but fear
have mislaid it. Z"
Bounced From tho Caravan.
But the man with the punch laughed him
to scorn and cried unto Bouncer, of the tribe
of Brakeman, and said unto him, "Bounce
the beatp'
Now Bouncer, the son Of Agun, was q
hustler from Hustlerville. And he fell
upon Haiseed and fired him from the cara
van. And Haiseed the husbandman sat by
the wayside and wept. And he arose and
