could make them, pulled up to Great Falls
through series of six locks.
At Great Falls the four sat down to a
laden table. Two hours later when they
arose the table was still there, but its load
of eatables had been transferred elsewhere
at Seneca, Md. twenty-five miles from
Washington, halt was made for more
sleep, A splendid camp was made on the
Virginia shore. and a meal. notable, prin-
cipalIy, for its lack of anything fit to eat,
was highly enjoyed, after which some more
sleep was reeled OF.
Chief Felix and his canoe mates, hered-
itary experimentalists, had provided them
selves with a hitherto untried and entirely
new article in the way Of q shelter. 1t con-
sisted Of bamboo frame Of several detach-
ed polls, large piece of canvas, several
screws. a maze Of garbage and about two
dozen tent pegs. The structure was to be
rugged UP over a canoe on land. ana the
two occupants had provided themselves with
a dozen or so pillows. The other two mem
out with canoes, rejoiced in the possession
of a dog tent and had laughed scornfully
a, the canopied-canoe idea. They expressed
all sorts of sympathy and waited for the
elaborate structure to collapse.
Bedtime at Seneca.
When bedtime arrived at Seneca up went
the untrted structure. And 1t stayed upl
All night long the two fortunates slept
the sleep Of sweet genius and all night
long their companions fought mosquitoes,
chtggers and black ants with sharp teeth,
swore at their heretofore beloved dog
tent and prowled around the canoe with
the canopy, with thoughts of violence.
From Seneca to Edwards Ferry the ca
noes followed the river, gliding along under
a mighty powerful sun and increasing the
bHstered areas with each fieeting moment
But the scenery along the upper Potomac
was beautiful that it was better than
cold cream The next day the Ferry was
reached. and the cleansing of the shirts
and the disappearance Of the yaller legs
and things has already been noted.
Population Appreciative.
1t is mighty pretty at the Ferry, and the
population is SO appreciatfve. It must be
very much that way, for last night it turn
ed out en- masse to listen to the chacra-
woomahs making a noise like song. So
numerous were the auditors that the by 6
bridge across the canal wouldn't hold them
ALL Everything would have been fine If
some thoughtless resident OF the Ferry
hadn't, as q return compliment, started to
sing "'Way Down Yonder in the Corn
Field" He got as far as zone had
chicken and the other had q ham,, when
the chacrawoomahs fed from the scene 1t
was true bill.
The faithful four this morning started
back for town. The canoes were laden to
the waterHns and carefully covered. The
county constable arrived on the spot lit
tie out of breath just as the faithful four
padded out into the stream. The constable
looked worried. But then he noticed that
the canoes were pointed toward Washing
ton and appeared raieved. So did every
body else at Edwards Ferry. They were
very cordial in speeding the parting guests
mighty hospitable people. So there you are.

object of teaching them to fend for them

dom.
After watching the performance for a
while the prince suddenly exclaimed: II
can't stand this any longer. He's a jolly
plucky goat and we must get him out some
how The question was how to manage
the rescue, for it was not at all an easy
task to get the goat out Of an Enclosure
in which some three-Quarter grown lions
were at large. However, the fertile brain
OF Gen. Stuart Beatson thought of lasso,
and the work of salvage was commenced.
They had just got the moose over the
goat and were about to hoist him up. when
a honess went for him in earnest, and it
looked to be all up with him. With the
courage of despair he charged her and
sent her flying, and before she could pick
herself up and return to the attack the
rope was over him and he was hoisted up
to safety.
On examination he was found to have
escaped without injury, barring a slight cut
on one leg, and he now roams about, a
pensioner for life, adorned with a massive
silver collar with inscription explaining
how the prince saved his life.
