was SO cool he had to turn his collar
up.
After few hours we got the ship in
the right place, about quarter of a
mile south of the den, and Pa got the
cowboy ready with his lasso, and the
German ready to yell murder in his
language, and the negro ready to
throw overheard for the lions to eat,
and Pa said, Turn her loose" and we
let go of the rope, and the ship sailed
right straight for the den, and we all
climbed upon big rock to watch the
proceedings. It was the most exciting
moment of my life, except the time
the fat women in the circus sat down
in Pas lap, and crushed him beyond
recognition, and they had to scrape
him up with case knives.
There was Pa at the wheel, his eyes
staring ahead at the lions, all of the
lion family having come out of the den
to see the airship, and the dog lion,
the head of the household, waving
his tail and making the air fairly
tremble with his roaring.
Pretty soon the airship was right
over the den, the lasso was thrown
over the dog lions neck, and drawn
tight, and he cOughed and strangled
like a negro being lynched, and then
he turned tail and ran down into the
den in the rocks, with all the other

The idea of airships is all right in

ship may decide to 60 north, and you
may pull on all the levers, and turn
the steering gear every way, and she
goes north as though there was no
other place to go.
We waited for weeks to get new
supply of powder that makes the gas,
and finally it came. We got the bag
full and Pa and the cowboy with the
lasso and two others, German and a
negro, got on the rigging, and about
fifty of us held on the drag rope, and
Pa turned the nose of the machine
south towards where he had located
a mess of lions in a rocky gorge, and
he was going to ride over the opening
to their den, and let the cowboy lasso
the old dog lion, and choke the wind
out of him, and drag him to camp by
the neck, but the airship just insisted
on going north, and it took the whole
crowd to hold her. and Pa was up
there on the bamboo frame talking
profane and giving orders.
She was up in the air about fifty
feet, and Pa pointed out the place
where the lions den was to the south
about mile, and told us to drag the
airship tail first across the veldt, to
the other side of the den, and cut her
loose, so we dragged the ship away
around south of the den, taking us all
the forenoon, and we could see the
lions on the rocks summing themselves
and probably talking over in lion Ian
guage what they would do to us if we
got fresh, and every little while. they
would cough like case of pneumonia,

lions after him, dragging the ship
back into the entrance of the den,
and closing the hole completely, and
we all rushed up and tied the rope to
trees, so the gas bag was right over
the hole, tight as a drum, and Pa got
off the frame and as Mr.. Hagenbach
came up in a perspiration, Pa said:
There's your lions, about dozen Of
them, captured down in that hole;
help yourselves" and Pa sat down on
the ground like a man who had con-
quered the world, and was waiting for
the applause. Mr.. Hagenbach said that
was all right so far as it had gone.
but what he wanted was lions in
cages, ready to ship to Germany, and
not down in hole in the ground that
might be as deep as a copper mine,
with no elevator to bring the lions to
the surface. WELL" said Pa, as he
lit cigar, there is a perfectly good
dog Numidian lion, with black
name, on the end of that lasso, and all
you got to do is to pull him up, just
as you would a muscalonge on a line,
and when he comes to the surface
after I have finished my cigar, will
hog tie him and have him ready for
shipment quickern wink" and Pa
yawned as though capturing wild lions
was as easy for him as catching mice
in a trap.
| So the crowd all got hold of the
lasso and began to pull up, and of all
the snarling and bowling you ever
heard, that beat the band. The old
lion seemed to catch on to everything
coming up, and all the other lions
roared until the rocks on which we
stood fairly trembled like there was
an earthquake, but the old dog kept
coming, and l felt as though some
thing terrible was going to happen
and began to get farther away. Pa

asked the cowboy how much more
rope there was left, and was told about
ten feet, so he told them to let up a
minute until the driver drove the cage
up to point on the rock not far from
where the lion would come out, and
when the cage was ready and the door
open, SO the lion could see a goat
tied in the cage eating hay, Pa said
to the men to give few more jerks,
and by gosh pretty soon the lions
head and neck came out of the hole,
and he was the maddest looking ami
NAL I ever saw, and the men looked
scared.
The lion was bracing with his front
feet, and using all kinds of language,
but Pa was the coolest man in the
bunch. Nov let him rest minute"
says Pa, but hold the line taut," and
Pa took out bag of tobacco and a
piece of paper and rolled cigarette,
and lit it, and we looked at Pa in ad-
miration for his nerve.
After putting his cigarette little,
and looking to see if the cage was
entirely right, he ordered the men who
were not pulling on the rope to line
up in two lines from the hole to the
cage like the honorary pail bearers at
funeral, and told them not to move
until the lion was in the cage, and
when they were all in place, Pa said,
