Communication is established through i Sam Emerson, a Frisco boy, whose heart was torn by the untimely death of 1NcS NA1IlCs c1 bull lEllECl OI SACSllSIll points and canine virtue. And his grief so touched the animal dwellers on the spirit Island of Brotherly Love that they sent Her Necromancy, the black cat, to oNbring him back in an airship, leaving his image to avert his mothers i anxiety.
 1 On the island Rag returned to life, with elephants, goats. camels and ti- gers. sheep, horses and a lot of other animals. And Beautiful Joe was presi- dent of the happy ideal republic where | the birds and animals found themselves after death. Sam was entertained in fine style during his stay on the en- chanted island. There was a magic show, an impromptu circus with the only Jumbo as chaperons to Her Ne cromancy and various other entertain ments were gotten up for his special benefit. Sam found that the animals kept up an interest in their former mas 1 ters and watched earthly proceedings with keen interest.
