proach was discovered by the soldiers and
Indians at the same instant. The old
men and squaws began to pull down the
lodges, and in an incredibly short time
the camp was in full retreat to the James
River, few miles to the east. But
House managed to cut in to the east OF
them from the west.
They were caught in a deep ravine,
and for moment a hush fell upon the
scene. Then came the death-Song again,
and the warriors plunged out to the at
tack. It lasted but a moment, but that
moment was a bloody one. The war
riors fell back into the ravine and pan
demonium reigned. An entire nation
was hemmed into that narrow canyon,
and the hour Of extinction seemed at
hand. A roar came up, Get away! get
awayr' and the warriors, with buffalo
robes over their heads, again dashed
out the cavalry horses were stampeded,
and in the growing darkness thousands
of the Indians escaped.

for the night at the lake where the In

ADVENTURE WITH THE ELEPHANT,
after awhile Mike got cured of going
on sprees. He took an awful load aboard
one night and decided to go in and get
revenge on the elephants. 'Tynse' caught
up with him at the door of the animal
tent and hung to his coattails seolding
and threatening. But Mike would go in.
He was going to lick Big Tom, the chief
elephant, or find out why. In he sailed,
'Tynse' having all she could do to Ike ep
up with him and everybody else falling
out of his path. He pushed straight to
where Big Tom was swaying his huge
bulk from side to side and tugging at
the chain which held his foot. Mike
went at the elephant with both hands.
He heaved his big body against the
mountainous side of the beast. caught
one of the broken tusks in his fist and
gave the beast such a shove and twist
that it went down.
WHEN MIKE OPENED HIS EYES.
and oh, that elephant was mad. 1t
gave forth blast that split hole in the
top of the tent. 1t scrambled to it's feet
for all that Mike had tumbled on top
of it, and poor little 'Tynse' with him
and started after the giant. Mike read
the danger signal and turned to run, but
the end of Big TOMS trunk reached him
Just at the waist line, and he dropped.
Not a glimpse of breath left in him!
"Pandemonium! Nobody ever saw it

Ting the chains that held him. lions and
tigers roaring, birds and monkeys
screaming, hyenas crying, men yelling
and cursing-and little Tynse, on her
knees beside Mike, crying in a thin little
wall that somehow made it way through
the awful noise as the tinkle of harp
rises clearly above the orchestral crash
of Wagnerian overture. The dwarf
rubbed the giants hands, patted his face,
called him tiny pet names, and begged
him to wake up.
Another tragedy" asked the tall
young man as the sad-eyed man hest
tated.
mo, I'm just trying to figure out a
way in which to finish the story without
making it a comedy. For it wasn't a
comedy then, funny though it may seem
now. OF course Mike wasn't killed. A
breathless as a corpse for-well, it seem
ed like ten minutes, but maybe it wasn't
so long as that AT any rate, Mike be-
gan to wake up after awhile. He rolled
his eyes, screwed his face into horrible
mask and his first breath was a gulping
groan.
''Then Tynse began to scold. Her tears
vanished and her midget f1rsts started a
tattoo upon the back Of the PROSTATE
giant. OF course, Mike didn't feel this
any more than an ordinary man would
feel the jig dance of an acrobat fly on
the back of his neck. He only continued
to groan and roll his eyes frightfully.
After he had begun to breathe again he
yelled huskily:
