discover not single sign TO show which
way his friends had gone.
Indeed, the Doctor and his party had
lost their way very badly. They had
strayed long way off the path. and the
jungle was so thick wish bushes and
ereepers and vines that sometimes they
could hardly move at all, and the Doctor
had to take out his pocketknife and cut
his way along. They stumbled into wet.
boggy places; they got all tangled up in
thick eonvolyulus runners; they scratched
themselves on thorns, and twice they
nearly lost the medicine bag in the un-
derbrush. There seemed to be no end TO
their trouble.
Finally they had come upon a stream.
And after they had rested for while and
refreshed themselves with the cool water
the Doctor decided that il they followed
the river down stream it would surely
lead them sooner or later to the sea.

traced his steps till he came TO the place
where he had last seen the Doctor and his
party. Then by examining the ground
with great care (he was an excellent end
a cunning woodsman, was Chez Chee) be
found the marks Of John Dolittles big
boots left in the soft earth.
Full Of new hope, he now set off to fol-
low these tracks, and for some miles he
was successful. But the tracks led him at
last to a wide, shallow river, which clearly
the party must have crossed.
Chee-Chee, at some risk Of getting
drowned, plunged into the river, and, by
wading. foundering and swimming,
reached the other side.
He expected. Of course, to find the Doc
tors tracks again on the opposite bank
But to his great disappointment no foot
prints on the further shore could he find.
He hunted up and down the streams

This, Of course, in a way was true, but
tins particular stream was a very twisty,
winding one. And after the Doctor had
followed it for some miles, splashing
along in the shallow water THAT was why
no footprints were left behind and poor
Chee-Chee could. not track them), they
saw that it would be no use trusting to
the stream to bring them to the sea. be-
cause il clearly flowed hundreds of miles,
this way and that, before it got there.
So, watching the setting sun for di-
reetion, John Dolittle lef. the water and
started of Through the jungle once more.
But very soon they came to another
wide swamp-just as the night was fall
ing. And the poor Doctor told his pets
that they would have 10 rest there till the
morning. Although he eheered them up
as best he could by making joke Of their
troubles, John Dolittle was really quite
discouraged. For by this time he had
not the slightest idea Of where in the
world he was-not even whether he was
close TO the sea or near the Kings palace
or back again by the edge Of the Land Of
the Monkeys.
The next day the Doctors party, had
no better luck. And at last, after blum
dering about for many days, getting their
clothes torn and their faces covered with
mud, they walked right into the Kings
back garden by mistake. The Kings
men came running up at once and caught
them.
But Polynesia few into a tree in the
garden without anybody seeing her and
hid herself. The Doctor and the rest
were taken before the King.
"Ha, ha" cried the King. $50 you are
caught again. This time you shall not
escape Take them all back to the prison
and put double locks on the door. This
White Man shall scrub my kitchen floor
for the rest of his life"
So the Doctor and his pets were led
back to prison and locked up. And the
Doctor was told that in the morning he
must begin scrubbing the kitchen floor.
They were all very unhappy.
This is a great nuisance" said the
Doctor. 81 really must get back 10 Pud-
dleby. That poor sailor will think I've
stolen his ship If don't get home soon.
. / wonder il those hinges are
loose"
Bot the door was very strong and firm
ly locked. There seemed no chance Of
getting out Then Gub-Gub began to cry
again.
All this time Polynesia was still sit
ting in the tree in the palace garden. She
was 5aying nothing and blinking her eyes.
THIS was always a very bad sign with
Whenever she said nothing
and blinked her eyes it meant that some
body had been making trouble and she
was thinking out some way to put things
right. People who made trouble for
or her friends were nearly al
ways sorry for it afterward
Presently she spied Chee-Chee swing
ing through the trees, still looking for the
Doctor. When Chee-Chee saw her he
came into her tree and asked her what
had become Of him.

:. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

A goodly number of friends and
neighbors gathered at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Willis Briggs on Sat
urday, August 18th in honor of Mr..
Briggs 64th birthday. 1t was a com
plete surprise to Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs
which rendered the occasion more en-
joyable to the entire party. Mr..
Briggs was well remembered, espe-
cially with the delicious birthday
cake. Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs are quite
unassuming people. who live very
quiet, retired life. A few years
since, their home was saddened by
the loss of their only child, a son,
young man of sterling worth, on
whom was their sole dependence in
their declining years. They had the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire COM
.munity in their sad bereavement,
which has extended all the way until
the present. May the birthday sur
prise be only one of the many bright
spots, CLEANS of sunshine to dart
across life's pathway, to brighten the
once saddened home.
