they had all been spared, and there. II
anybody had dared TO go, they could have
taken pictures Of them. and we could have
learned just how they looked and ate and
Fought from morning until night, but no
body knew how TO get there. This was
the place where Willie found himself,
and these were the creatures that had
been making such awful noises all night
long. He went long way before he saw
any Of them, but then he saw a herd OF
hairy elephants eating grass twenty feet
high. He decided to go around and avoid
them, as he knew that wild elephants are
dangerous, but as he was passing close
beside dark forest another awful beast
came salloping along. wheeling ike an
automobile, and he instantly climbed a
tree. He scuttled up the tree faster than
he had ever done before, and only stopped
when he found himself al the TOD The
animal rushed on without noticing him.
and he looked about him and saw some
thing very strange.
There, al the very top Of this immense
tree was a sort Of round thing made OF
sun baked clay. just ike an enormous
hornets nest and as big as a trolley car,
with round doorway in its side. He
could not imagine what Il was. but ii
suggested a birds nest TO him at once. He
thought that it was entirely too large, OF
course. for he couldn't imagine a bird big
enough TO build such a nest as that. so he
concluded that it must be the house OF
some man who dwelt in the tree 10 avoid
the wild animals. He climbed along the
branches 70 il and looked in.
There. on the bottom of the great but
or nest, he saw several white objects
about the size Of large barrels, and II was
some moments before he realized that
they were actually eggs. Eggs as large
as the biggest barrels he had ever seen
so large that one Of them would have
made an omelette for a whole hotel. Hs
suddenly also realized that the bird thar
laid them must be tremendous and might
be coming along at any minute
He began to climb down. He had 81,
perhaps ten feet nearer to the ground
when he heard pop inside OF the CLAW
nest. and his curiosity was so great that
he couldn't resist the temptation to climb
up again and see what had made the
popping. He peeped into the nest. and

gaily as he went and filed all Of the ami
mails with giee, for they had never. heard
music before. and when they arrived ar
the shore they were the happiest lot NJ
c-eatures ever seen.
Now the problem was TO sail unon tho
sea He had no boat, but he saw tbst tEo
water was filled with other strange crea-
lures. splashing and diving and chasiDp
one another about. so he shouted 10 them
TO attract their attention. and in Zen,
minutes they were crOwding I'D IN the
waters edge, ready to fight the animals
there assembled. The water animals were
even more niCeOus and enormous than the
land creatures. If that were possible. and
they certainly had larger mouths and
more rows Of great teeth. Some were oli
covered with enamelcd scales OF all coI-
ors and hard as steel, so that il was i'm
possible for another animal 20 bite them
at all, or even 10 make a little dent iD

you could no longer see them. but only
knew by the splashing that Acts OF tail
was still out there. Most OF them looked
Ike lizards, but others there were that
resembled walruss with tails, besides
which there were all sorts Of immense
fishes; and then there were others that

and then he hung down until he almost
had a rush Of blood to his head OF
course. he would soon have died there,
and after ALL some people tell me that
it would nave served him just right. but
il happened that a balloonIst was sailing
that way, and he came so close to the
tree that he managed TO catch Willie and
lift him as he swept past. Willie was
almost unconscious. but revived in the
cold air above the clouds. where the bal
loon soon arrived.
The balloonist gave him a good talking
to about such an evil practice as birds
nest robbi1g. and Willie assured him that
he would do ii no more. He had a good
scare, 1 can tell you, but, boy-like. he
was a triae glad Of it after It was over.
for it gave HIM a chance to sail in a bal
loon, and very few boys ever have that in
all their lives BY and BY, because of
Willies extra weight. the balloon began
TO sink, as the gas escaped a good deal
and soon they were quite near the ground.
Mr.. Aeronaut said that the boy would
have 10 get out, because ne had a long
journey &c make, and IL would be imDos-
sible 90 do it with two In the car.
II can't get out here in this stranga
country" said Willie. 4 don't know ~

Cant help it," said Mr.. Aeronaut; Il
didn't want 20 take you, but I hated IN
leave you in that tree. It's absoluteI,
necessary for you to get out, no matter II
you don't know the country The land we

but If 1 don't we win both have TO get OUT

animals that inhabit IL Now. YOU will
admit that IL would be far better that one
be eaten instead Of two, especially. as Won

OF course, Willie realized that there was

Smiths dreadful melancholy would have
come on in some form anyway, even If
the BOY had been perfection, for all it
heeaed was an excuse to attack him He
was so blue that Willie didn't like to
stay around the house and look at his
mournfW face. so he went 20 the woods
for relief. There he soon saw a ''aicker's''
nest high up in tall pine tree, and in a
minute he forgot all his promises and
was climbing after it.
He soon reached It and put the eggs
which It had contained into his shirt front
and began to descend. but Just then a
sharp-pointed branch Of the tree caught
in his trousers and held him, so that he
could not get away. He struggled for a
long time, until his strength was gone.

so that 7 can describe you when I return

began to weep.
What is troubling you?" asked Willie.

plant, who was as wOolly as a sheep, and

fell in puddles at his feet. Animals viii

you see. Willie quieted the elephant by
assuring him that he would take him
with him when he went away, and then
the enormous animal felt so good that he
tried to climb on the boys lap and fondle
him, which, Of course, would have finished
Willie at once. so he lodged behind a

a house, and escaped the fond attention
Of -he hairy one.

ate he let them depart and began 10 look
about him to see II there was a way TO

as they seemed as fierce as the Fterodac-
tyh but although he was very quick, one
OF them saw him and darted toward him
instantly with a roar Of hungry rage.
Willie felt rather than saw that he was
after him, and plunged wildly into the
darkness Of the cave without knowing
how deep it was. He fell some twenty
feet and landed upon something soft and
hairy that made his heart jump into his
mouth ana caused him to CULVER with
fright He knew, Of course, that he had
fallen upon some wild animal with a furry
hide, but whether it was a bear. wolf or
lien he couldn't tell, and he expected that
the animal itself would Immediately set
lie the question. He began slipping down
farther into the soft darkness. and in a

He finally selected two Hoopsnakes, and
after he had hypnotized them he made
