HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! “Tusk of the Wild Boar” By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter ELLO EVERYBODY: Well, sir, here's a story that starts out with another story. A long time ago I got a letter, sent to the Adventurers’ Club, from Java, in the Dutch East Indies, way over on the other side of the world. It came from Kaboel, whose address was Pang- goengweg No. 2, Tegal, Java, and Kaboel said that he'd read in the paper that I was giving away money, and would I please send him a hundred dollars because he was very poor. Well, sir, I wrote Kaboel a letter telling him 1 couldn't send him any money until he'd sent in an adventure yarn good enough to print in this column, and—well—I guess they have adventures over in Java, too, because in came the yarn from Kaboel. Incidentally, here's where the Adventurers’ club breaks another ironclad rule. You know these yarns are all true and they all have to be vouched for. It's the club's custom to require that all papers be signed by the adventurer's name in full—first and last name, complete. But what are you going to do when a guy hasn't got any last name. Kaboel writes: ‘““Kaboel is the only name I have. I am a pure blooded Jav- anese boy, and we do not have family names.” On a Week's Hunt in the Jungle. And now for Kaboel's story. He says he's had lots of adventures, but this time he's going to tell us about a boar hunt he went on with his father and some of their Javanese neighbors. They set out for a week's hunting in the jungle one morning in 1929, taking with them a supply of beras, or unprepared rice, and dendeng, which is meat prepared with spices. They traveled through the jungle for two days, walking about eight hours a day, and stopping to eat and rest in the early after- noons when the sun was hottest. During the first two nights, they slept on the ground, rolled up in blankets. After that they were in country where the wild boar were plentiful and dangerous. Then they climbed trees as soon as it got dark, and passed the night in them. On the third day they pitched camp and The Boar Saw Him and Charged Again. were ready to begin hunting. First they looked for water holes (drink places, Kaboel calls them) where the boars came at night to quench their thirst. They found several, and Kaboel and his dad hid in the under- growth near one of them. The first night they killed three boars and carried them back to camp. On the second night, about eight o'clock, a boar came out of the jungle across from where they were hiding. Kaboel and his dad both fired. The shots told. The boar stumbled and fell. But the next moment he was on his feet again, his eyes gleaming malevolently, and was com- ing at them like a hurricane The guns they were using were old single shot affairs. There was no time to reload them. Kaboel's dad yelled to him to run, while he dashed off in another direction. The boar could only follow one of them—and he picked on Kaboel. The boar was a scant ten yards from him, and the nearest tree was twenty-five or thirty yards away. Kaboel ran as he had never run in his life, but he COULDN'T OUTRUN THAT BOAR. Foot by foot it gained on him. By the time Kaboel reached the nearest tree, the boar was a scant yard behind. Neat Trick That Fooled the Boar. There was no time to climb that tree then. The boar would have it. But Kaboel had a trick up his sleeve—a trick known to all native boar hunters in Java. As he neared the tree he reached out and caught it with his hand—swung himself sharply around it. was ten yards away, and that was all the room Kaboel needed. Before the animal could turn around, Kaboel had started up the tree. The boar saw him--charged again—but he was just too late. By the time he reached the tree again, Kaboel was sitting pretty on one of the lower limbs. But the boar wasn’t giving up yet. He made a few desperate lunges up the side of the tree trunk, trying to climb up after Ka- boel, then he began to walk around that tree. Around and around he went, pawing the ground with his hoofs and stopping every now and then to glare up into the tree at Kaboel. Kaboel thought it would be only a short time before the boar either succumbed to his wounds or got tired of waiting and went away. But the boar, evidently, wasn’t wounded very badly, and neither did he get tired of waiting for Kaboel to come down. Hour after hour went by. Dusk turned into night, and the night wore on. Still the boar hadn't given up. Still he paced around and around the tree, waiting to kill that man creature who had stung him with his shooting stick. Kaboel Tied Himself in the Tree. Kaboel was getting sleepy, but he fought sleep off. Once or twice he caught himself falling into a doze, and brought himself awake just in time to keep from falling out of the tree. That would never do. Once the boar in a matter of seconds—minutes at the most. branches of the tree, he tied himself to the trunk. Sleeping in trees was nothing new to the Javanese boy. enough to keep him from taking a nap when properly secured. He dozed off, and when he awoke again it was morning. The boar was gone. “In- deed, such animals are timid in daylight,” says Kaboel. And Kaboel climbed down the tree and started back to camp. ©—WNU Service, Shipping Terms Gross tonnage is the cubic con- tents or burden of the vessel in tons of 100 cubic feet each, as ascer- tained in a certain method pre- Anise of Parsley Family The true anise is a member of the parsley family, native to southern Europe.

Some of the smartest newest wool- ens for daytime frocks and for the stylish little separate jackets and bo- leros and for waistcoats and blouses are embroidered with an allover scattering of tiny motifs or perhaps with florals arranged in the popular striped effects. Knitted fashions also reflect the flair for embroidery in that they carry flowers and designs done in bright yarns showing peasant influ- ence. The black dress that has a gor- geous bouquet embroidered like a corsage at either the waistline or shoulder is a winsome number. Any woman who can embroider could be the happy possessor of a fetching dress like this for to “embroider your own'' requires but little effort. Evening fashions fairly scintillate with dazzling embroideries. Short sleeves, allover sequin-embroidered, Embroidery is done on lace on tulle, on velvet ribbons that girdle the waist and so on and so on the story of embroidery is endless this season. Even the simplest linen, cotton or wool day dress is apt to yield to the present urge for hand stitchery of some fanciful sort.
