Haven't those terrible guns been
just as bad on the way back?" inquired
Jerry.
NO" replied Honker, who had
awakened and drifted near enough to
hear this question. There Is little to
dread from the hunters with terrible
guns in the Spring now, but time was
when 1t was just as bad then as in the
Fall. This young fellow thinks it was
bad last Fall on our way to the Sunny
South He should have lived a few
years ago when all Winter long and all
the way back in the Spring we had no
peace from those terrible guns. When
I think Of 1t wonder that there is q
Goose alive today It is bad enough as
it is, but we can at least be thankful
that We are allowed to journey North
in comparative peace"
At daylight the next morning there
was a great gabbling among the Geese
and Jerry gathered that they were try
ing to decide whether to go on or rest
for another day AS usual 1t was
Honker who settled the question. 1t
was decided to remain. So the Geese
scattered about the pond. some feed
ing, some swimming about and some
squatting on the shore. But always
there was at least one, usually old
Honker, on guard.
Later that day as Jerry sat on the
end Of a log on the edge of the water
half doing he was suddenly so startled
by loud hiss almost In his ear that he
plunged frantically into the water with
a loud splash. When he at last came
up to look around he discovered his
friend, the young gander. still Kissing
angrily at Reddy Fox, who was stand
ing with his forefeet on the very log
on which Jerry had been doing. The
young gander had seen Reddy creep
ing up and had wakened Jerry just
in time.

Speeding Around Africa.
CROSSING NIGERIA.

TINE King Of Lokoja greets us
pleasantly. He Is much inter-
ested in our airplanes, and puts
l. his hands on various parts OF
the wings as If to try to learn
what they are made Of. lie has seen
two or three airplanes IN the course
of his life, but they were high over
head. Now he can look over one OF
the white mans birds close at hand.
Lokoja Is a city of 10000 people In
the northern part Of Nigeria. This
Negro King Is ruler Of the place In a
sense, but he remains in power at the
pleasure Of the British-who own Nj
geria.
The King can speak some English
words, and he invites us to pay visit
to his palace. He points proudly to his
ancient motor car, and says that we
can ride with him to his home.
We thank the King for his kind
offer, but tell him that we are In such
a hurry that we cannot accept, adding
that we must reach Angola this very
day.
tives, we return to the airplane and
soon are looming southwark again.
Nigeria is larger than France and
Great Britain combined, but our tri-
motor Is very fast and we eat up the
miles at a great rate. Banty says that
we are going ITS miles an hour.
Below us stretches broad greer
valley, the valley of the Niger River
This mighty river flows into the Gull
Of Guinea. During the thousands oi
years it has been flowing it has built
up a great delta which rivals the delta
Of the Nile.
Soon we pass over the Cameron
Mountains and realize that We are
not a great distance from the Equator
Two hours later we are right on the
line Of the Equator, and ] remind you
Of the little boy who told his teacher
THE Equator Is q menagerie lion who
goes around the earth"
We do not see either line or q
lion beneath us, though the jungles oi
