HE ENTERS A DARK PLOT

1t seems to be just one series of ups
and downs with Pa and I. One day
we are kings and things and the next
day we are just things and not kings
or ninespots or anything in the deck
except it's jacks.
That short stay at the ranch of the
Michigan man in Africa, which seemed
like being sat down from hades in
darkest Africa to heaven in America,
terminated just as everything else does
with us.
After we had enjoyed the morning
with the wild animals on the race
track, Pa and the Michigan man set
into a game of draw poker with some
other sharps and the cowboy, and they
must have stacked the cards on Pa
and the cowboy, for before night they
had got all Pas money away, and
the cowboy was burst, too, and in the
evening Pa put the airship up against
q creamery and drove of Jerseys, and
Pa lost the airship, and then Pa gave
checks on bank in the river Nile,
and lost all the checks and about a
pint of diamonds, and when we went
to bed the Michigan man said he
hated to part with us, but If we must
90 he would send us over to Lake
Victoria Nyanza, where we could take
a steamer for Hamburg.
We didn't sleep much that night,
and the next morning the auto was at
the door, and We took what little stuff
Pa had not lost playing poker, and
crossed the country to the lake, at a
town where Pa sold some of his uncut
diamonds for money enough to pay
for our passage to Hamburg, and we
got on board the vessel and got into
our staterooms.
Just before we were ready to start
an officer came on board looking for
two white men who had been giving

checks that were no good, and for
selling diamonds that would not wash.
heard about it and there was such
a crowd that the vessel men did not
remember Pa and the cowboy, but
they said the officers could search the
vessel if they wanted to.
went to the stateroom and told Pa
and he turned pale and trembled like
q leaf, and the brave cowboy had a
fit. They were scared at the prospect
of being taken ashore and put in an
English Jail, and Pa sweat so he looked
like a hippopotamus sweating blood.
Pa said they were up a stump and
asked me if could think of anything
to help them out. told Pa the only
thing for us to do was to take a
burned cork and black up, and pretend
that Pa was an African king on the
way to England to have conference
with King Edward about tribal af-
fairs.
Gee, but Pa and the cowboy bit like
a bass, and I got a champagne cork
and burned it over the lamp and went
to work bleaching them all up, and in
half an hour we were three of the
blacklist niggers that ever emigrated
from Africa. even BACKED the
place on Pas leg where the lion had
chewed hole through his pants.
We looked at ourselves in the mir
ror, and inspected each other, and
couldn't find white spot. and then
told Pa what to do when the officers
of the law came.
He was to be seated in state on q
high chair, looking like a niger king,
and the cowboy and l were to get
on our knees before him and kowtow.
l got crown made out of a tin
basin and feather buster for plume,
and fixed Pa up so that any tribe
would have gone wild over him.
Just as we got Pa fixed up, and we
had all stopped laughing, there was q
knock at the door of the stateroom,
and l opened 1t and two semi-English-
men came in looking for Pa and the
cowboy, but when l waved my hand
and said: Behold the king of Natabe-
land" and the cowboy bit the buster

dishes were taken away empty, and
the wine had been drank, and the
cigars brought in, King Pa got down
from his throne and just yelled, and
he said to the cowboy: "Say, Alkali
Ike, wouldn't this skin your" and Ike
said he guessed it would when they
found out what frauds we were, and
after awhile we turned in and slept
just like we were at home.
For several days they fed us like
they were fattening us for a sausage
factory, and the ocean was blue and
calm, and we were let out on deck
near our stateroom for exercise, and
l kept burning cork and keeping us all
BACKED up nice, and Pa would repeat
African words that he had picked up,
mixed with English words, and every
body kept their distance and thought
we were the real niger thing.
Well, everything was going along
beautifully, and we thought We had
never struck such a snap in all our
lives until about the fifth day.

stuffed it into the keyhole again.

and saluted Pa, and Pa looked savage
and said in broken negro: what, no,
varlets!" the officers said: BEG par
don, don't you know, your highness,' -
and they backed out of the door ma
king salaams, and soon disappeared.
Gee, 1t was a close call.
Soon after the engine began to turn
the screw of the propeller, and when
we looked out of the port hole the
vessel was going towards the ocean,
and when I told Pa he got down off
his throne and danced jig and
Rugged the cowboy, and we were hav.
ing jollification when there was an.
other rap at the door, and Pa jumped
up on the throne and put on his tin
basin crown, and I opened the door
and the steward of the vessel came in
with his hat in his hands and asked
Pa what he would have for supper
Pa said he didn't care what he had il
he only got it quick, and the steward
said mostly when they were carrying
African kings to England they served
the meals in the staterooms, as the
kings did not care to sit at the same
table with the common herd, and Pa
said that suited him all right, and the
steward added that the passengers
also complained of the manners of the
African kings, and the smell that they
emitted in the cabin.
Pa was going to get hot at that re-
mark, but l was afraid the burnt cork
would rub off, so I said his highness
would be served in his stateroom, and
to bring the best the ship offered, and
bring it quick if he didn't want trouble
aboard, and he bowed low and went
out, and pretty soon the walters began
to bring in oysters and soup and tur
key and boiled pheasants, and ice
cream, and we kings and things didn't
do thing to the food, and when the
