SPORTS, SHORT, Snaké—in-the:Grus. Below is a tale of big game And a boy with a queer sort of name; On an elephant chase This story took place Which made all the hunting seem tam OGER couldn't pronounce the boy's name, so he called him “Fuzz." Fuzz was a short, stubby, pock-marked little African who was one of the carriers with the elephant hunters which Roger's father headed. Fuzz had been assigned to Roger as his particular servant to look after him. From the first, Roger had dis- liked the He was surely the worst looking carrier of the lot. he was stupid. and he was always in the way, always 3 ger's heels. like a cur do If he could only have had Ungway now. Roger thought, how much ni It would have been. Ungway wasoa tall. slender vouth, handsome in his animal way, strong, light of foot, and fun loving. He sang weird son night around the camp fire, he was among the first in the chase. and on the march.he was gay. while Fuzz plodded along. The three were often together, for Roger followed the bold Ungway about, and Fuzz trailed after Rtoger. Roger's father noticed it, and teased him about “The Three keteers As they pushed in deeper and the heai became fiercer while' the march srew longer. Roger's temper became worse and worse. He scolded Fuzz from morning to night. and once boy STORIES, GAMES, STORIES GIRLS him. ! he even struck Fuzz took it all | calmly. | One day, however, Roger's temper for the first time turned itself on Ungway. He called the boy a “stupid | pig.” No one ever spoke to Ungway | like that. The carrier's eves flashed. and he walked away with great dig- | nity. During the rest of the day he | kept far away from Roger. | While they were making camp for ithe night Roger wandered restlessly around the edge of the camp. out| of sight of thc bearers. Suddenly he was struck and thrown to the ground. Fuzz had hurled himself at him and knocked him down. Roger | turned upon Fuzz with burning wrath, but the boy had leaped to his | feet and plunged behind a bush. Im- mediately Roger heard the sound of | struggle, and following the sound he found Fuza and Bagway rolling over and over in a fierce fight. While he watched, dazed, the stocky Fu downed Ungway and stood up, pant- ing. “He bad bo: he declared to Roger. and he picked up a poisoned dart from the ground near where he had knocked down Roger Then Roger understood. and he flushed with shame. He looked back toward the bush and saw that Ungway had disappear- ed. “Where'd he go so quickly?” Mf in grass to village. He bad boy.
