Billy knew that no serious harm
had been done when he bumped into
the young lady and SO, instead of
stopping to lend q helping hand. he
took advantage Of the commoti6n
and forged ahead and very soon
found himself standing close to the
head Of the biggest Of all Of the ele-
plants.
Some Of my readers know how
funny II feels TO be right close UP to
one OF these great beasts. Billy felt
the same way. only more so. He
did'nt dare to move for fear of at
tracing attention. The thought
passing thru his mind that, big as
he was. he would not make more
than five or six bites for the mon
ster. He remembered again the
story that Bob had told him Of the
way he ran and hid when he saw
the elephant marching toward him.
He had no longer despised Bob for
this and only wished he could do the
same thing.
But bye and bye. ~ nothing
seemed to happen, he began to feel
better and to take notice. Then 1t
was that he first discovered the ele-
plants great trunk.
Il declare" said Billy to himself,
that must be his hitching strap, and
he Is loose. too. I believe that will
hold on to 1t till his keeper comes.
That will make me all solid with
