BY Mrs. Ambrose Means.

r AM looking forward to this adventure
in the wilds of Africa with good deal
- of misgiving, | must admit 1t is not
the big beasts of the jungle that scare
me. though. Give me thirty feet of rope
and a good horse, and there is no animal
living I'd be afraid to tackle single
handed.
My husband roped three and a half
ton rhinoceros In Eastern Africa three
years ago. and from what he tells me
there isn't any trick in that at all to any
one who has ever handled rope. They
roped CRATES and sebras, and lions and
leopards, and every other kind of animal
too and | don't see why we should have
any more trouble with this gorilla we're
going after
No, It isn't the big brutes that I'm afraid
of; it's the little bugs and snakes that
the jungle is full of. | have broken
bucking bronchos and punched steers. and
guess I'm not afraid to tackle anything
that stands on two or four feet-but
Heaven preserve me from the thing that
crawls or writhes You can't rope snake.
Mrs. Mougey isn't afraid at all. She
likes snakes. When she was on our ranch
last Summer she used to fondIe a ella
monster, and then l used 70 take a long
ride.
Mrs. Mougey thinks she will be safer
with us in the jungle than she would be
alone In Paris--where her husband orig
inally intended to leave her--and guess
perhaps she is right. I know that as far
as l am concerned, the African jungle,
with all It's creeping things. is preferable
to your Great White Way. with all its be-
wildering lights and crowds of people.
1t strikes us as strange that gorillas
should like the companionship Of human
beings, but have read a lot about them.
and know that is so. And they are sim
ply crazy about music
II would be mighty unfortunate thing
if. after we had succeeded in getting big
gorilla. the brute should die on our hands
for lack of sympathy or amusement, and
neither Mrs. Mougey nor l would care TO
shoulder the responsibility for such dis
aster.
We have worked out little plan which
We think will serve to satisfy the monster.
We are going TO wait upon him turn and
turn about in eight-hour shifts. so that no
matter when he wakes up he will always
md one OF US on hand to amuse and
comfort him.
