STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF RILLY RUMPUS
'IHE OSTRICH
By Farmer Smith
Billy Rumpus thought something erv
queer had happened for his wife sat theie
and would not Talk to him It was strange,
fm be had been awaj all day and whin he
relumed he expected his good wife would
make a fuss over him What HAD hap
pened" He wnnikrpd
He sat for a lung time and then finally
went upstairs nnd went to bed Theie was
nothing else fni him to do Hi- resolved In
g up earlv In the morning and see Just
vV.-it hail happened Yes. he would go nnd
sew .Mts Heaver and ask her If she had to'd
his wife nbout finding him with his ligs
When morning came BIllJ squinted at his
wife, and as she was fast asleep he thought
It a good time to steal softly outflows He
made straight for the sand bank of the
river The sun was Just coming up In the
eastern skj. nnd nil was still except now
and then a rooster would crow 'We ought
to have a rooster for the town clock," said
Hilly lo himself
No sooner nail liiilj ic.uneo un- i-m-i--and
was 'dipping along In the sand than
he discovered something which made him
stand still It looked to htm like a huge
lilrd But he could not see Its head Ho
drew nearer and took n good look nt it.
Sure mough It was a bird, but the head
could not be seen It seemed to be bulled
In the Mini '""i cncli "I''1 nt ""' hUK0

of the white of eggs hla wife sometimes
put on floating Islands.-and he went up and
took n little nibble.

The hit il moved a bit, and Billy stood
back to see what would happen. How brave
BUIv stood It as long ns he could and
then said, "You headless bird, If you don't
si.enk to me I'm aft aid I'll hao to give you
n tegular butt. I'm Hie general In the army
and I must have obedience."
The bird snld nothing.
"I'm feorry to have to move up the nrtlU
lery and fire a few butts at you," said
Hilly Stllll tho hugo creature remained up.
"IT1 Rix-e 'ou "e more warning,, that's
Just one too many. If you have a head with
i mouth In It. 1JU It out of the band and
speakto "our superior otricer." Still the
hhd remained motionless,
This was too much for Billy. He hauled
off nnd butted the strange bird and almost
made It lose Its balance. Slow y It pu led
Its head out of the sand and turned a
strange look upon Hilly.
"Did you see China down there any
