ing mounted on glas, were put on a
substance not unlike glass, but
thinner, called gelatine. All of these
things l carried in my clothes and
when Mtulu confscated all my
baggage the magic lantern and views
of course escaped his notice.
Christmas morning came and
passed and 1 was about to give my
self up tor lost, for Mtulu was not a
King to be kept from eating a man
by anything so small as suit of mail
when 1 received word that before
dinner my captor and his suite we're
going to pay me a formal parting
call, Night was coming on and as l
sat despondently awaiting the kings
arrival, l suddenly bethought me OF
the magic lantern and view l had
OF the British army, standing and
awaiting the command to fire, 1t
was a suberb view-lite like as you
please. Why not throw that on the
wall and when Mtulu enters he will
find me apparently with strong
force at my command, thought |. 1t
was no sooner thoght of than it was
done and my life was sayed. Hardly
was that noble picture reflected upon
the rear wall of my prison when the
door opened and Mtulu, followed
by his suite appeared. l rose to
greet him, but apparently he saw me
net. Mute with terror he stood
upon the threshold gazing at that
terrible line of soldiers ready as he
thought to sweep HIM and his from
the face of the earth with their death
dealing bullets.
Welcome, l said advancing to
greet him.
l am your slave, he replied,
kneeling before me, yield all to
you.
I thought you would, said l. But
l ask nothing save the discovery OF
Lake Majolica. If within twenty four
hours Lake Majolica is not discover

Then l turned and gave the order
to carry arms, dexterously slipped
the view along and 10! the army
appeared at carry. Mtulu gasped
with terror but accepted my
ultimatum. was freed Lake
Majolica was discovered before ten
o clock the next morning and at
five o'clock 1 was on my way
home the British army reposing
quietly in my breast pocket.
1t was a mighty narrow escape!
l should say so, said Mollie. But
Mtulu must have been awful stupid
not to see what it was.
Didn't he see through it when he
saw you put the army in your .pocket
asked Jack.
No, said the Major. That frightened
him worse than ever. for you see he
reasoned this way. If | could carry an
army in my pocket book, what was to
prevent my carrying Mtulu and all his
tribe off in the same way! He thought
| was marvellous man to be able to
do that.
Well, l guess he was right, said
Moliie, as she climbed down from the
Majors lap to join Jack, who was
searching the map of Africa for Lake
Majolica. This they failed to find and
the Majors explanation is unknown to
me, for when the children returned the
warrior had departed. philadelphia

EARNINGS OF BEGGARS.
The Professionals In London and Paris
Pick Up a Good Living.

The professional beggar Is not a
modern innovation, by any means.
Readers of the Spectator will recall
"Scarecrow," the famous London beg
gar who having disabled himself in his
right leg, asked aims all day in order
to get warm supper at night. Ac
cording to John limbs, the "Ruff1er,'
to whom we often find mention in the
literature of the seventeenth century,
were troops of idle vagrants who
invested Lincoln's Inn Fields. They
assumed the characters of manned
soldiers who had suffered in the great
rebellion, and found ready prey in
the people of fashion and quality who
drove by. Indeed, it is made clear by
contemporary alusion in comedies that
this square was the regular haunt OF
bogus crlpples who lived by men
delaney, which they carried on in the
most barefaced and even intimidating
manner.
1t is related that George w., when
Prince of Wales, once attended beg
CARS carnival in London, lncognlto.
He had not been there long when the
chairman, addressing the company and
pointing to the Prince said; 81 call
upon that ere gemman with shirt tor
a song." The Prince, as we'll as he
could, got excused upon friend, who
accompanied him, promising to sing
instead, which the latter did amid great
applause. The health of the Prince
and his friend having been drunk and
duly responded to, they departed in
order to afford the company an oppor-
tunity to fix their different routes for
the ensuing days business; for at that
time the professional beggars of Lon.
don used to have general meeting
several times during the year at which
they were divided into companies, each
company having its particular walk.
In those days their earnings varied
much, some getting as much as five
shillings day. Most of professional
beggars in London today-and their
name is egion-emanate from two tc
three common lodging houses. The
most popular Of these, which is knowr

THE LANDLORD KNOCKED OUT

The great complaint of all the
lecturers, said Eli Perkins, is about
poor hotels but l made up my mind
fifteen years ago that I would never
find any fault with my hotel. One day
down in Tennesse, broke my rule.
The Iced was bad and everybody was
grumbling. After paying for my dinner
l said to the landlord
That's nice food on the table there.
He glared at me for minute, then
he asked shortly
What's the matter with it7
Why, its terrible, that's what's the
matter. Those lamb chops are tough
enough to break a mans teeth.

As It Struck Him,

A long, loose-jointed pilgrim, in a faded brown hat and venerable over- coat, strayed into one of the parks the other day where hotly contested game of football was in progress.
 He watched the players for some time in silence and at last asked by stander:
 What dye reckon that thing they're fightin' over is wuth?"
 About $2.50, perhaps" replied the man to whom he had spoken.
