BILLY GETS LOCKED UP
By Farmer Smith
TINO-a-llng-a-ling
Silence.
Tlng-a-llng-n-llng'
The silence immediately after the ringing
of Billy Rumpus's telephone was followed
by a meek volco saying, "Mother, answer
that, will ou?"
"What aro you afraid of now?" asked
Mrs. Rumpus, as she went to tho telephone
Billy did not nnswer He was learning to
keep his mouth shut
Mrs. Bumpus listened at the telephono
for a whllo and then suddenly exclaimed:
'What? My husband stolo a load of bricks?
Who Is this? Oh, the station house What?
You will, will you? My dear Billy Is no
thief, nnd I will be right down to tho station
house with him. Just sea If I dont!"
She hung up the receiver nnd started for
Billy "Put on your coat and some with
me," she commanded
"Don't wo eat first?' asked Billy. "I
can't go to the police station on an empty
stomach. I only had a few bits of rubber
since this morning "
"I have had nothing since morning," re
plied Mrs. Bumpus, as she pushed Billy out
of the door.
It was a funny sight to see Billy and bis
wifo rushing through the streets of Goat
vlllo. Every ono knew that something was
the matter, and, as fast as they could, the
other residents of Goatvllte filed from their
houses and went after Billy and Mrs
Bumpus.
One hundred goats landed nt the police
station at tho samo time with Billy and his
wife. Some of them were a little ahead of
Billy, so he had to wait before he could get
ln the door.
This didn't bother Billy, however. There
was a lantern standing on the ton of the
steps, so he ate off the handle while he was
waiting. He would have eaten the whole
lantern If it; hadn't been lighted. How care
less of some one to leave a lighted lantern
there, anyway I That's what Billy thought
to himself.
At last Billy Bumpus and his wife ar
rived before Judge Goat, who was seated
behind a high desk. Clearing his throat, the
Judge said:
"William Glfcrge Washington Goat, of
2725 Lollypop ad, Goatvllle, what have
you to say for ourself?"
'Get a lawyer," whispered Mrs, Gnat
"Get a lawyer," said Billy to tho Judge.
Judge Goat misunderstood him, so he
went right on: "You may have a lawyer,
but I will hold you In a cell until you can
appear In court here tomorrow with your
Mrs. Goat laughed out loud at this, and
then she leaned over and whispered some
thing In Billy's ear.
"All right." said Billy to the Judge. "Lock
me up."
"Captain Pepper Pot Goat, you will lock
William G. W. Goat up until S o'clock to
morrow and give him nothing to eat except
bread and a can of water."
,At the sound of the word CAN, Billy
smiled. Then ha wi

of sundry adventures wo bad shared to

he spoke to mo about Lovo last night It
had nothing to do with women. Bias, at
least not much It was somothlng a great
deal bigger, Baas, something as big as what
I feel for ou !"
Then Hans died with a smile on his
wrinkled little face
I wept
rii.pii:it w
Homeward
THEttU Is not much more to write ot (bis
expedition, or It that statement bo not
strlctlv truo, not much moro thit I wish
to write, though I hivo no doubt that
Bngnall, If bo had a mind that way, could
mako n very good and valuable book con
cerning miny matters on which confining
mself to tho history ot our adventure, I
hivo scarcely touehed All tho ntllnltles
between this Central Afrlcin worship of
tho Heivcnly Child and Its Guardian and
that of Horus nnd Isls ln Egvpt from which
It was undoubtedly descended, for Instanco
Alsq tho part which the great serpent
plajed therein nt Is may bo seen plavlng
a pirt ln every tomb upon tho Nile, and
Indeed plavs a pirt In our own nnd other
religions Further, our Journey ncross the
desert to tho Bed Sei was very Interest
ing, but I nm tired of describing Journejs
and of making them
The truth Is that nfter the death of
Hans, lilto to Queen Sheba when sho had
surveved tho wonders of Solomon's court,
there was no more spirit In mo For quito
a long whllo I did not seem to care at nil
what happened to me or to nnvbody else
Wo burled him In a plate of honor, exactly
where ho shot Jnna, beforo the gateway
of the second court and when the earth
wa.s thrown over his llttlo jcliow face I
felt ns though half mv pist had depirted
with him Into that hole
Poor drunken old Hans, where In tho
world shall I find such another man ns jou
were? Where In the world shall I find so
much lovo as filled the tup of that strange
heart of jours?
I daro say it Is a form of selfishness, but
what every man desires is something that
cares for him alone, which Is Just why wo
aro so fond of dogs Now Hans was a
dog with a humin brain and bo cared for
me alone Often our vanity makes us think
that this has happened to somo of us In the
Instance of ono or moro women. But honest
and quiet reflection may well cause us to
doubt tho truth of such supposing The
woman who, as we believed, adored us sole
ly has probably In the courso of her career
adored others, or at any rate, other things
To take but one Instance, that of Ma
meena, tho 2ulu lady whom Hans thought
he saw In tho Shades. She, I bellevo, did
mo tho honor to be very fond of me, but I
am convinced that she was fondci still of
her ambition Now Hans never cared for
any living creiture, or for any human hope
or object, as ho cared for me There was
no man or woman whom ho would not have
cheated, or even murdered, for my sake
There was no earthly advantage, down to
that of life Itself, that ho would not, and In
tho end did not, forgo for my sake; wit
ness tho caso of his llttlo fortune which he
Invested ln my rotten gold mino nnd thought
nothing of losing for my Bake.
That Is love In excelsls, and the man who
has succeeded In Inspiring It In any crea
ture, even In a low, bibulous, old Hotten
tot, may feel proud Indeed At least I am
proud, and ns the jears go bj the prldo
Increases, as the hope grpws that some
where ln tho quiet of thit great plain which
he saw In his dream I may find tho light
of Hans's love burning like a beacon In
the darkness, ns he promised I should do,
and that it may guide and warm m,y shiver
ing, now-born soul beforo I daro the ad
venture of the Infinite.

keep together with tho chains off his
breast and trunk, as mementoes of their
victory over tho god ot their foes At any
rate, they howtd tho former out with axes
and removed the latter beforo tumbling the
carcass In to tho grave From tho worn
tlown stato of tho teeth I concluded that
this beast must have been extraordinarily
old : how old It is Impossible to say
That Is all I have to tell of Jana May
he rest In peace, which certainly ho will
not do If Hans dwells nnywhero in his
neighborhood in the region which tho old
boy used to call thit of the ' fires that do
not go out " Because of my horrible failure
In eonnectlon with this beast, the very
memory of which humiliates me to this
hour. I do not llko to think of it moro than
I can help
For the rest tho White Kcndah kept faith
with us In every particular In a curious
and semlrellglous ceremony, at which I
was not present. Lady Itagnnll was absolved
from her high office of guardian oi nurso
to a god whereof the sjmbol no longer ex
isted, though I bellevo that the priests col
lected tho tiny fragments of ivory, or as
many of them ns could be found, nnd pre
served them In a Jar In the sanctuary
After this had been done women stripped
tho Nurse of her hnllowed robes, of tho
ancient origin of which, by tho wnj-, I be
llevo that none of them, except perhaps
j.ttiui, nun any mei, any more man tnej
knew that the Child represented tho Egjp
tian Hoi us and his Indy Guardian the
moon goddes3 Isls Then dressed ln some
native garments, she was handed over to
Bagnall and thenceforth treated ns a
stranger-guest like ourselves being al
lowed, however, to live with her husband in
the samo house thit she had occupied dur
ing all the period of her strangn captivity
Hero they abode together, lost In the mutual
bliss of this wonderful reunion to which
they hnd nttalned through so much bodily
and spiritual darkness and misery, until a
month or so later we started upon our Jour,
ney across the mountains and tho great
desert that lay bejond them
Only once did I find nnv real opportunity
of private conversation with Lady Ilagnall
This happened after her husbind had
recovered from the hurts he received In
the battle on nn occasion when he was
obliged to separate from her for a day In
order to attend to somo matter In the Town
of the Child. I think It had to do with tho
rifles used In the battle, which ho had pre-
sented to the White Kendall. So, leaving
mo to look nfter her, ho went, unwillingly
enough, who seemed to hato losing sight of
his wife even for nn hour.
I took her for a walk In the wood,, to
that very point Indeed on the Up of the
crater whence we had watched her play her
part as priestess at the Feast of the First
fruits. After we had stood there a while
we went down among tho great cedufa,
trying to retrace the last part of our march
through the darkness of that most anxious
night, whereof now for the first time I
told her all the story.
Growing tired ot scrambling among the
fallen boughs, at length Lady Bagnall
sat herself down upon one of them and
sad:
."Do ydu know, Mr. Quatermaln, these
are the Hrst words we have really had
alone since that party at Bagnall before
I was married, when, as you may have
forgotten, you took me In to dinner,"
I replied that there was nothing I recol
lected much more clearly, which was both
true and the right thing to say, or so I
supposed,
"Well." she said slowly, "you tee that
after an inero was someimng in those
fancies or mine ,wnicu at me time

"rls, Lndy .Bagnall, though, of course,
we should always remember that coin
cidence accounts for many things. In any
case, they aro dono with now,"
"Not quite, Mr. Quatermaln, even ns jou
mean, since we have stilt a long way to
go. Also In another sense I believe that
they are but begun."
"I do not understand, Lndy Ilagnall "
"Nor do I, but listen. Yon know that
of anything which hnppcned during those
months I tiavo no memory nt all, except
of that ono dream when I seemed to see
George and Savage In tho hut. I remem
ber my baby being killed by that horrible
circus elephant. Just as tho Ivory Child
was killed or rather destrojed by Jann,
which I suppose Is another of your coin
cidences, Mr, Quatermaln. After that I
remember nothing until I woko up nnd
saw Georgo standing In front of me cov
ered with blood, nnd jou, nnd Jana dead,
and tho rest."
"Becauso during that time jour mind
was gone. Lady Hagnnlt "
"Yes, but whero had It gono? I tell j-ou,
Mr. Quatermaln, that although I remember
nothing of what was passing nbout mo
then, 1 do remember a great deal of what
seemed to bo passing either long ngo or
ln some time to come, though 1 have said
nothing of It to George, its I hopo Jou will
not either It might upset him "
"What do jou remember? I nsked
"That's the trouble, I can't tell jou
What was once verj' clear to mo has for
the most part betomo vague and form
less. When mv mind tries to grasp it It
slips nvvav It was nnuther life to this,
quito a different life, nnd thirc was a
great storj in it of which I think what wo
hnvo been going through Is either a sequel
or a prologuo I see, or t-avt , cities and
temples w Ith peoplo mov Ing about them
Georgo nnd jou nmong them, nlso that old
priest, Harut You will laugh, but my
recollection Is that jou stood in somo le
latlonshlp to me, either that of father
or brother"
' Or perhaps a eousln " I suggested
'Or perhaps n ooiisln stie repeated
smiling or a great friend, nt nnv late
something verj' intimate As foi tleorge
I don't know what he was or Harut eltbei
But the odd tiling Is that little ellow man
Hans, whom 1 onl siw onco living for a
few minutes 'that I can remember, comes
moro clearly back to my mind than nny of
jou
"Ho was a dwarf, much stouter than
when I saw him the othcrdaj-, but very
like I recall him curiously dressed with
feathers and holding an Ivory rod, seated
upon a stool at tho feet of a great per
sonagea king I think Tho king nsked
him questions, nnd every ono listened to
his nnswors That Is all, except that tho
various scenes seemed to bo flooded with
continual sunlight"
"Which Is more thin this plieo Is I
think wo hnd better bo moving, Lidy Ilag
nill. or jou will catch n chill under these
damp cedars "
I said this because I did not wish to
pursuo tho conversation 1 considered It
too exciting under all her circumstances,
especially as I perceived tint mjstlcal
look gathering on her face and In her
beautiful ejes, which 1 remembered noting
beforo she was married
hho read my thoughts at onco nnd an
swered with a little laugh
"Yes, It Is damp; but jou know I nm
very strong nnd damp will not hurt me
For the rest jou need not bo afraid, Mr
Quatermaln I did not lose inj mind It
was taken from mo by somo power and
sent to live elsewhere Now It has been
given back and I do not think It will bo
taken ngaln In that way "
'Of couiso It wont ' I exclaimed con
fidently "Whoever dreamed of sueh a
thing?'
"You did" she nnsnered, looking mo In
the ejes "Now beforo wo go I want to
say ono more thing Harut and the bead
priestess have mado mo a present Thcj
have given mo a box of that herb Un
called tobacco, but of width I have dis
covered tlio real name Is Taduki It Is
the bame that they burned ln the bowl
when jou and I saw visions at Bignall
Castle, which visions, Mr Qu itermain, by
another of jour coincidences, have slnco
been translated into facts "
"I know Wo saw jou breathe that
smoke again as priestess when vou uttered
tho prophecy ns oracle of the Child nt the
Feast of the First-fruits But what nie
jou going to do with this stuff. Lady Bag
nall? I think jou have had enough of
visions Just at prc-ent "
'Sp do I, though to tell jou tho truth
I llko them 1 nm going to keep It nnd do
nothing as jet Still, I want jou always
to remember ono thing don't laugh at
me" hero again sho looked mo ln tho
ejes 'that there Is a tlmo coming, some
way oir i iiunn, wnen 1 nnd vou no nn
else, Mr Quatermaln will breathe that
smoke again together and tee very strange
things."
"No, no!" I replied. "I hivo given up
tobncc6 of tho Kendih variety: it Is too
strong for me "
"Yes, jes'" sho said 'for something
that Is stronger than tho Kendah tobacco
will make jou do it when I wish "
"Did Harut tell jou that, Ladj Ilagnall?'
"I don't know," she answered confusedly
"I think the Ivory Child told me; It used
to talk to mo often You Know that Child
Isn't really destrojed Llko my reason
that seemed to be lost. It has only gone
backward or forward whero jou and I
shall see It again. You and I and no
others unless It bo the llttlo yellow man
I repeat that I do not know when that
will be, Terhaps It is written in those
rolls of pipyrus which they havo given mo
nlso, hecause they said they belonged to
me who nm 'the first priestess nnd the
last' They told me, however, or per
haps." sho added, passing her hand across
her forehead, It was tho Child who told
me, that I was not to nttemnt in uH
them, or rather have them read, until after
a great chnngo in my life What tho
change will bo I do not know "
