"That Isn't n cirrus parade," he aald. "That Is a curuvun of camels. Haven't von heard hew camels carry poeds across the desert? They nrc the freight train of the Arnlm." Jack rind Janet stared with glow ing tyes at the camels. They ccemed even mere curious en the desert than they were In n circus. And se, tee, did the heeded and muffled drivers and the wild -appearing horsemen who guarded them. The steamer came oppeslto a city, and the cng'nes Mopped. Ne sooner had the ship feine te rest, than Old Gray Rit climbed the rail nnd plunged Inte the river. His g.inp followed him. "Ee-eltl l-cek!

They alld down the rope after Sleepy Woodchuck and started te walk ashore, the water holding them up as though It jverc ice. The river was wide nnd the shore uts far off. .Old Gray Hut saw what .oekfd like n flouting leg. "Ke-k! V will rest en this leg," he squeaked. "We can keep lllack Saake off hr cannot fight be well when he l in the water." But the leg wftn't a leg. na Old Gray Itat quickly learned. It was a Hungry Crocodile, dozing en the sur fnee. Old Gray Hat ntartcd te climb ever the Hungry Crocodile's snout. The Hungry Crocodile opened his eyes in a3tenlshmcnt, nnd when he saw Old Gray Hat he opened his mouth, tee. Inte that mouth fell Old Gray Rat, nnd that was the last of him. The ether rats turned te swim away. Bat the Hungry Crocodile didn't give them a chance. Snap! snap I imap! snap! he gobbled them down one after another, until thcre was net a rat left. Even Hint didn't satisfy the Hungry Crocodile. lie looked around for mere fn eat, and he aw Black Snake, Sleepy Woodchuck. J.itk, Janet, Colonel Croaker and Chip and Chipper Chip mack. Swish! There was a ewlrl through the water, and snap! Down the Hun gry Crocodile's threat went Black Snake and Sleepy Woodchuck. Swish ! snap ! Jack and Janet were grabbed, nnd, in the same mouthful the Hungry Crocodile swallowed Colonel Croaker und the chipmucks. But no harm came te them for they were Slumber Sprites.
