"THE SHOWER OF JEWELS"
(Monkeys run away with the jeicch
of Rajah Jft'r-i?uJ after helping
Oo-la-la and Pepgy recover them
from Hindu robters. Oo-la-la,
Peggy and Pindar, the elephant, trick
the monkey into throwing tho gems
ot them, and then flee, but are met by
ihe Hindu rollers with three fight
ing 4elephanta.) ,
The Fighting Elephants
rpHRBB lighting elephants loaded

Job fbr your magic," rumblod Pindar
to Od-la-la. "But if you can handle
one elephant, or, perhaps, one and a
half! I'll take care of tho rest of them."
"Why. don't you run away?" cried
Peggy.
"Br-umpb! Er-umph! Pindar never
rrins away!" trumpeted the giant clc--phant
so loudly that thq other huge
beasts beard him, and trumpeted buck.
It was plain that there wus going to be
B battle royal when the great creatures
inet, Peggy looked anxiously at Oo-la-la,
who vaB searching through his
pockets. Presently ho brought out u
little bag of powder.
"Qee-whllllkers !" ho sighed looking
at it, "That's an uwful little bit of
jnagjc with which to overcome three
awful big, and raging elephants."
Peggy tko'igat the same thing and her
heart sank.
In the elephant's howdah was a long
trumpet Buch as are used by trumpeters
in a circus parade. Oo-la-la seized this
flod poured the powder into the largo
end. -
"Magical ywder," ho whispered to
Peggy. "Coyer your uoso und don't
get near it." As Peggy obeyed, Oo-la
la climbed, out on Pindar's head, "Tuke
this trumpet." he said to the elephant.
"and wben J shout 'Sneeze!' blow? it
loto tho faces of tbe other elephants,"
"Butl cau't do that,'' objected Pin
dar "I'll need my truuk to fight
with."
"You'll not have tu fight If my magic
in strong enough," said Oo-la-la. "But!
cfyn't draw In your breath through the
trumpet or tho magic will turn against
are."
Tke three flghtlng clijihants were so
ol:Piij44r-dId not have time, to argue
itm natter. lis took tho trumpet in
Ujr tUu','wt7rU it wt awd of
1 ft f
him. The three fighting elephuuU
stopped ehort when they saw this queor
wuy.of greeting them, and trumpeted
loudly. They were louded with Hindus,
Itamda-Kin himself riding in the bow
dub of the largest. Every Hindu wus
armed with a knlfo and every one 0"
them seemed eager to fight.
"Ha, Sneering Magician, now we
huve you," cried Humdu-Kin.
"Er-umph! Er-umph"! Hero's Pin
dar, leader ot tho rajah's elephants.
We've caught him alone at last. Sec
he is trying to beg off by offcriug us a
trumpet. What fun it will be to give
him a thrashing," trumpeted the three
fighting elephants.
Pindar never moved, uud Oo-lu-la,
standing up, waved his hands over tho
fighting elephants.
"Charge on them!' yelled Itamda
Kin. "Smasb-thcqi to pieces before
Oo-lu-la's magic cau work."
"Er-umph! Kr-umph ! Wutch lis
whip tHo mighty Pindar," trumpeted the
threo elephants, und they .charged
forward.
"Sneeze!" shouted Oo-la-lu, und
Pindar blew a mighty blast through the
trumpet. The three charging elephants
bucked uud braced buck, us if 1 they
feured.tho trumpet were u machine gun,
And ut thut instant they threw1 up their
trunks, opened tficlr mouths wide,
raised jbeir beads, and sneezed.
'Sneeze!" shouted Oo-lu-lu, und
Pindar blew a mighty blast through the
trumpet once more, and again the
elephants sneezed sneezed so violently
that they sent their drivers flying
through tho air.
"Sneeze!" cried Oo-lu-la a third
tlmo, and tho three clephunts sneezed
again sneered so hurd they burst their
bowdab straps and the Hindu -rotfbers
came tumbling to tho cround. "Hneezel
Sneeze! Sneeze!" shouted Oo-lu-la,
and the threo elephants doubled up and
rolled on the ground in un awful fit of
sneezing. As for tho Hindus, they
sneezed and sneezed lu sneezing spasms.
"Now let's get out of here," "cried
Oo-la-la. "Tho, rajah n wants bis
Jewels."
Waiting for no more, Pindar, th'e
elephant, set off across the plain as fast
as his huge legs would curry him.
