Worild have et me at once, but the ohief's

according as you looked at it from my
stand -point or the savages'. I talked niers
to Ugogina, and got her to bring me my
small -sized cooker, the only one the old
witch doctor what kept the cookers would
let her have • and with that I cooked them
savages the fines t kinds of victuals they ever
et, and they set me free and made ineroyal
cook, and the chief kinder smiled indulgent-
ly at the wayUgogina was makin' up to me.
So you see the small sized cooker saved. my
life.

hastily. "1 have a sermon to write.
"Now you just take my advice and gib a

she'll say to herself that in buyin' this small
cooker you are Irwin' out not to ever have
any company to meals, and if she's a girl
that is fond of company you're rennin' a
risk. Wait till I tell you how a mejurn
sized cooker saved my life. Well, the old
witch doctor took a big dislike to me, and
kept tellin' the folks that I would make a
better meal cooked than I would cookin'.
Ugogina wanted to marry me, and the chief
was willin',but the witch doctor prophesied
Le lot of calamities if the marriage took
place, and scared the chief. Now I didn't
want to marry Ugogina, but I could see
that if I did I would be saved from he& et;
but I thought I would try to save myself
aril get out of the marriage also. I could
have run off to sea any day,but there warn't
no boats. I could see ships.sailin' by quite
often, but there warn't no way to git off to
'em. I decided to fix the witch doctor first.
Igot Ugogtno., to wheedle the old feller to
give me my mejum-sized cooker, the small -
sized not bein' large enough for my pur-
poses. Then I got a lot of African beans
and some hollow reed and some sticky
olay. I set the beans a-cookinand put the
reeds into a little hole I madedin top of the
cooker. I molted the witch doctor in, and
told hinethis was some of my new vaporized
atmospheric air, and told him to pet his
mouth to the reeds and suck some in. ou
know, if you hove studied chemistry, that
beans are highly charged with gas. Es-
pecially is this true of the genuivine African
bean. Well, sir, that old chap swallerecl a
lot of that gas, and quicker than a wink
Ugogina and I knocked him over and plast-
ered his nose and mouth un with clay, aril
I'm ieliar if that gas didn't float that old
feller right up in the air, clear out of sight.
You see, he was remarkably eapecious, and
the gas was remarkably strong—remarkably
strong. I stood there in front of the people
when he' was flocttin' in the air, and told 'em
was a magician, and conld set 'em all

Iglad one day that I was thin I "went
in swimming" always near a. big dead tree
that lifted hie gaunt form away up into the
sky. It stood so closet° the water that the
waves had swept under it and vvashect away
the earth from the roots, making a big cav-
ity where it had once drawn nourishment
for its branches. I had often longed to
look under there and know all about the
myateries of that cieve. So one day feeling
more than usually reekless, took a Wag
pole, poked around in the hole to see wheth-
er I would get caught in any roots mod then
dived in. As I got well under the hill I
discovered that die cave was light and that
I could see bottom. I kicked hack till. I
got ma. Here was a: mystery sure. Another
breath and down I went again. This time
I turned on my back and looked up. //i.
great flood of light came down the old tree.
The titer= of years a,bove and below had
jointly eaten out the old trunk till it stood
a shell from root to top.
Once more filling my lungs with air, I
dived directly under the light. Then I
readied up and felt an opening. Through
this 1 atm* my head and one arm. Then
breathing was easy, for there was plenty of
air, I told nobody of my secret and chuckled
every time I thought of my wood parlor.
The next day 1 took With um an ax and eut

(I called them "peepers ") through the sides
so that I could see any oue approaching.
The day when it really became a retreat I
was sitting on the bank at the favorite
spot, debating whether it was too late in
the year and. whether the water was too
cold for taking a farewell plunge. I had
almost made up my mind not to go in when
a rifle shot wane booming acrose the lake.
The shot was still echoiug among the trees
above me when a white man dashed down
to the shore and rau along the beauh, At
hia heels ceme a band of Indians. Every
now and then I could see one raise hie bow
and let fly an arrow. Back into the woods
the fleet white man darted, taking iny di-
rection. A taw minutes and they might be
upon me. But I smiled as I thought of the
tree and quickly threw off my elothes,which
I tied into a bundle and fastened about my
waist.
Then I laid my eer to the ground and
liatened. Tramp, tramp eame the dull
sound of running feet, growitir clearer and

in and soon had my eyes to the peepera "
The water had aceacely dried oo my fieel
when, crashing through the under brush,
came the hunted man. The terrible spurt
of speed by which belied tnomentarily left his
pursuers behind had told on him, and now,
breathless, pale and ready to fell, he leaned
against the tree. Be hied thrown away his
rifle in the race, but now he draw his revolv-
er, and, hiding behind the tree, prepared
to meet arrow with bullet. His head wits

to him to them under the tree and come in.
The cry so near him only added to his
fright, and his revolver nearly fell from his

"on't be afraid, I am inside the tree,
join me and you are safe."
I leaned over the opening and extended
a helping hand into the water. There was
o splash and in a second I had feat hold of
a buckakin Clothed arm and I drew him em
into the tree, he shivering with the hath
and awful fear. I had only time to get
back to my "peepers" when the blood-
thirsty troop came bounding on his track.
His sudden disappearance stunned them.
Down on their knees they went, examining
every detail of his footprints. Some leaned
against the tree and 1 could have whispered
In their ears. To the very spot horn which
he had dived they tracked him, and. then
they waited. He will swim the lake, they
thought, and we will watch for him. When
no head appeared above the water the
braves fell into a dispute about the trail,
and finally, after an hour of waiting, dis-
appeared in the forest. We two remained
