FAItMEU SMITH STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUMPUS CAPTURED By Farmer Smith Bill Bumpus lay very still Tho nlrshlp man bad tied his lcgi to gether and thrown him In a clump of bushes, for ho thought tint If he left Billy tround the nlrshlp very long he would cit It all up Had he not eaten a tln bit oft the propeller That was enough A goat might eat, anything. "t suppose this is nil a part of war," thought Billy, squinting nt the rope which bound him Then ho pushed his head for ward and tried to see If he could not chew the rope and thus mike his escape. Alas! the rope w as Just out of his reach. "I. wonder what my wife Is thinking ibout7" Billy was asking himself. "But then, war Is war, and she must expect me to disappear once In n while. I was only tijlng to help out the poor Ducklings, nnd now look what has hippened to me!" , As he lay there verj still he heard the chirping of a bird above him, and looking ip saw Mrs Meadow Lark. Billy coughed very quietly to attract ner mention, as he did not want to disturb 1e airman for fear he might tome and take him again. Mrs Meadow Lirk was hopping this way and that 011 a limb when she beard the coughing Looking down she bcneld Billy, tnd begin to laugh "What are u laughing nt.'' asked Billy, when Bhe came nearer. 'I was laughing at a Joke I heard last summer," replied the blid 'Tell It to me," answered Billy, making 'lis voice as pleading as possible. "It might not sound funny to you, nil doubled up there. " Mrs Meadow Lark was 'laving a beautiful time hopping about on he limb "You are more interested in get ting away than In anj Joke t may wish to tell ou A Joke Is not so funny when jou ire about to be killed " 'Killed!" Billy Jumped up, even though ho was tied "Who said I was going to be killed?" 'Quietly. Quietly. You will wake my babies with our noise" "Please, Mrs. Meadow Lark, I have al uas thought a lot of ou, and I do hope jou will tell me how to get away from this terrible place." "I did not bring you here, and I don't see why jou should ask me to get you free. Those who get themselves In trouble ought to be able to get themselves out of It." said the bird. "I thought jou might fly over rtnd tell my wife," replied Blly. "I see, jou want her to be captured too, ind then the both of you can He hero and think of jour bins Misery loves companj. Beautiful day. Isn't It?" "PLKASi:, Mrs Meadow Lark, I want to ,ji t away. Can't jou do somethlrg for me? ' "I will reid jou the story of how a mouse let a lion loose one time. My chil dren love that story. Did you ever hear It?' Mrs Meadow Lark looked down at Billy with her sweetest smile. 'I'm not Interested In stories at this time," answered Billy. "All wrapped up In j-ourself. That's the way of the world. If you were not so selfish you might get along better," said Mrs Meadow Lark, as she flew to a higher limb "I came hero to help rescue the Duck lings, and this Is what I get for It," re plied Bills, squirming this way and that. "Good daj" to jou," said Mrs. Meadow Lark, as she flew away. "I'm learning fast," thought Billy. "I hope she goes and gives the warning" Suddenly Blly looked up nnd saw tho air ship slowly rise and disappear In the dis tance. It was not long before he heard a terrible crash which sounded right behind him "That sounds like a tree falling," said Billy, with a shudder. Little did he know what made that tree fall! . 23, 1917 , .tV A P? da-BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBaF ' . .." 3WSBBW8iaw i z GAINS ARMY COMMISSION John A. Wcishampel, 'J.IUr.
