I have spent q good many terrible
nights, in my time, but I never spent
such Z night as l did up the tree, the
night fred the niger chasers into
the barbecue crowd in Africa, with
hyenas and jackals sitting on their
launches and looking up at us, lick
Ing their chops, and yapping for US
to come down and be chewed.
Once when was quite a bit young
er, q party of us boys went to rob a
melon patch, and the farmer shot US
In the pants with rock salt, and chased
US up tree, while the dogs stood at
the foot of the tree all night and
barked, and the salt In our wounds
was making us smart awful, but It
was not so dangerous as this hyena
stunt.
Once I went home from church with
a girl, and on the way back home the
father of the girl came out with a
ghost sheet over him, with phosphor-
us eyes, and scared me into hen
coop, and as l was praying to die. a
negro with a dark lantern came to
steal the chickens, and when he saw
me in the coop he gave me some
chickens he had stolen from another
coop, and he run one way and run
the other, and guess he went around
the world one way and the other,
and we met last night at the barbecue,
sure, and he started back around the
world the other way when my fire.

But l was not as scared in the hen
coop. with the ghost, and the fright
ened negro, as was up the tree, look
Ing down the throats of the hyenas,
with the lions bowling around shifting
at the remains of the barbecue. and a
few tigers waving their tails from
side to side, waiting for us to drop
of the limbs.
Pa went to sleep a-straddle of a
limb because he was tired, and the
cowboy went to sleep on another limb
because he was drunk, and your lit
tie Hennery was on watch, crying to
be put to bed.
When daylight came the animals
slung away into the jungle, and when
1t got light enough l could see black
faces peering through the bushes try
ing to find out if it was safe to re-
turn, so woke Pa and the cowboy,
and told Pa his subjects were coming
into camp to cut his liver out, and
toast 1t on forked stick, and Pa
climbed down from the tree and
kicked the fire, and as the negroes be-
gan to come nearer he said: "Wel-
come to our beautiful city"
Pretty soon ali OF the tribe returned,
but they did not kowtow to Pa like
they used to, until the old king
showed up.
He was so scared he was fairly pale,
and he had a crouch too, and Pa no.
ticed it for he said to the cowboy:
"You go and fill that gas bag and get
ready to sail, because there is going
to be mutiny, and we have got to
get out of this country pretty precious,
or they will eat u.s." and the cowboy
went to work to initiate the gas bag.
Pa stood around trying to look like
Il saint, and he pointed to the sun, just
rising over the hills, and got on his

AS this is a season of vivid colors,

toned for all the tribe to do likewise,
but they turned their backs on Pa,
and the sun, and surrounded the old
king whose place Pa had usurped, and
by the motions they made and the
few words could understand it was
evident they proposed to drive us out
OF the tribe. The old king came to
Pa and said his tribe wanted to have
peace again, and wanted him to run
the shebang, and they wanted an old
fashioned cannibal feast, and that
they insisted on eating Pa and the
cowboy and myself, roasted. Pa said
all right, he was willing to be roast

ed better in the evening, after a ride
up in the clouds, and he proposed to
the old king that we all three, with

and after running an hour or so we
came to beautiful lake of blue wa
ter, and Pa told the cowboy to get
ready to throw off about 200 pounds
of dead weight. The cowboy said:
AYE, aye, sir,' and got his knife
ready. Pa let the airship down about
so feet above the water of the lake so
the fall would not kill the negro king,
and when we got nearly across
the lake, Pa said: "Cut the rope" and
the cowboy reached over with his
knife and cut it, and down went Mr..
McGinty, hanging on to the rope, and
turning over in the air dozen times,
and striking the surface of the lake
with a splash that shot the water up
nearly to the airship. $50 long, you

giant firecracker and threw it down
near him, where it exploded like a
bomb. And then as we went along
through the air we watched him
loosen himself from the chair and
strike out for the shore, swearing in
negro dialect that he would eat us yet,
without salt, and then we got out Of
sight of the lake, laughing at our es-
cape and wondering where we would
land.
We sailed along for a couple of
hours, and passed over villages of ma
tives, but Pa said he would not take
chances on another niger king, but
would run the ship toward the coast
as long as the gas held out, and on
we went until after midday, when the
gas bag began to flap as though the
gas was escaping, and Pa acted nearly
crazy, because we were over a dense
jungle, filled with wild animals. and

After 2 o'clock p. m. we sighted q
