with other cab drivers IN sign language
about US. for every driver kept along
VIII us, looked at Us aid laughed, az
though We were lid VI est show.
On the way 10 the Kings residence 1t
was all could do TO keep dad braced up
TO 60 through the ordeal. lie was brave
enough before We cot the invitation.
and told What he was going TO say 10 the
king, and you WOULD think lie wasn't
afraid of anybody. but when We got near
er to the house. and dad thought CT go.
Ing up to the throne, and seeing king
in all his glory. surrounded by his hum
dreds OF ,prcs and du. es and things, a
crown on his .lead. and an Ell mine cloak
trimmed with rec velvet. and six-q'.art
milk pan full of diamonds, some of tier
as big as chunk of alum. dad wea.. ened,
and wanted to give the whole thing ug
and go 10 a matinee, but woulLn': have
Il. and tod him il he didn't pet into
the king row how that | would shake
him right there in LONDON end start il
man ard hold UP stage coaches. and be
hung on Tyburn Tree. as used to read
about in my history Of Sixteen-String
Jack and otter English highwa, men.
Dad didn't want to see the family dis
graced. so he let the cab man drive on.
but he said if we got cut Of this visit to
royalty alive. 1t was the last tommyrot
he would indulge me in.
Well, old man. 1t is .!se having an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. you feel better
when you come out from under the inhu-
ence of the chloraform. and the doctor
shows you what they took out Of you
and you feel that you are gcins TO live
unless you grow another vernlform
appendix. We were driven into a sort
OF Central park. and up 10 a building
| that was big as lot of exposition builC-
| ings, and the servants took us in charge
and walked us through long rooms ccv-
cred with pictures as big as side show
pictures at circus. but instead OF snake
eharmers and snasses. and Mid men oi
Eorneo. and sword swalloWers. tbs
kings pictures were about war, and
women without much clothes on from
the belt up. Gosh. but some of those pic.
lures made you think ron could hear tht
roar of battle and smell gun powder and
dad acted as though he wanted 10 Ell
right down on the marble floor and dis
rifle pit big enough to git into.
/ suppose 1t is right here that We In
herited tie desire TO lyEch and burr
ut the stale the negroes that commit
crime and won't confess at home WheT
anything is born in the blood you canf
get rid CT it without taking q dose o.
patriotism and purifying the bleed. an
| | advise you never to visit the Tower Of
| LONDON. unless you want to feel like
going out and killing some one that i
tiled up with rope.
Hearing OF these murders and seeing
| the place where they were committed
does not give you an idea OF far pla,
land you don't feel Ike taking some ons
or your size when you fight. but you ge'
to thinking that If you could catch /
Ieripple who couidn't defend himself yoi
would III Z TO take baseball club am
maui the stufling out of him. Yen be
come imbued with the idea th@t If yol
went to war you would not want Il
stand up and fight fair but that yo'
would lie TO get your enemy in buncl
and drop dynamite dowa on him from
balloon. aid Iii all In sight, and sal
cway with an insane laugh.
Gee. but another day In this tower
Lend would want to go home and muir
