"Ah, don't be a piker. make IT.

CAPTURED By sAvAaEs
Just then a blood-curdling savage
yell from the threats of band of
wild headhunters split the air. Clint
Norris jumped into the Murphy bed
and was whisked from sight, but
they caught Doc red-handed.
The head-hunters took Doc to their
caves up in the hills where the heads
OF their victims were stuck on the
ends of poles. Then they danced
in a circle arond Doc and yelled like
bunch of Indians with Wild West
Show.
Doc was pretty sore. II knew
darned well If that reporter kept on
writing this stuff he would get me
killed" says Doc
Then the head-hunters built
fire under a great big kettle and be-
gan to smack their lips Doc saw
that they were going to cut off his
head and then make a pot roast out
of the rest of him.
Hey. wait a minute" he shouted.
I'm a tough old bird. If you let
me go I'll get you q nice tender
preacher. Do you like preachers?"
yum. YUM" said the Igorote
head hunters. smacking their lips
some more.
And I'll get you a fat boy. too.
You can fry the preacher and stew
the fat boy"
Whats their names?" said the
chief head-hunter. skeptical.
We'll, the preacher is ]. C. Par
rett. orator of Orak Shrine. and the
fat boy is John Morthland. the Chief
Rabban." answers Doc. It's kind
of dirty trick to play on brother
termined to eat anybody 1t might as
well be them"
Where can we and them?" asks
the chief.
4Oh, they are coming over with the
Shriners to the big ceremonial on
Hilo Island. They're be a lot of
Shriners.''
Doc saw that the head-hunters
were listening to his proposition
and he began to get enthusiastic.
you can eat all Of them except
me-" he said. I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll help you eat them
That's the kind of a guy am. I'll
help YOU
Then Doc had a second thought
There's one other one that you'd
better not eat. That's Judge Reiter.
He's not very fat. But then we can
have him for soup bone for lunch
Monday"
SO the ad-hunters let Doc go
and he hurried back to the palace
where the Queen was using smell
ing salts
s'Oh, Harry" she cried. IT never
expected to see you again. / thought
you'd been ate up
PIRATES LAND ON ISLAND
Doc told her what had happened
OF course he didn't really intend to
let the head-hunters eat up all the
Shriners, but he had to get out of
being devoured himself. somehow.
Just then the general of the
Queens army came running up and
reported that a pirate ship had
come ashore and the Island was full
of pirates with great long swords.
Good gosh says Doc. Amt
that reporter never going to let me
get nights rest?"
Well. Doc had to go out and kill
the pirates that had come to get
the buried treasure and when he
got back to the palace, he was all
in.
I've had about enough of this"
says Doc. Gimme that walie-woop-
err" And so Doc snuk up behind
the reporter and broke his other
finger and then there was no more
trouble on Hilo Island and the Doc
and the Queen lived happy ever af-
ter and Sunny jim McCandless,
the Imperial Potentate of the
Shrine, sent them a beautiful pres
emit. And forever after there was
peace on the island where the cres-
cent moon filters through the palm
leaves to the surf of the ocean and
casts a spell upon all men.
The end.
