You kids’ll grin when I
tell you thut th ’ first thing
I «lid nfli r bein' paid tii’
two thousand dollars for
capturin' th’ two robber*,
was to buy Kangy, my kan­
garoo pul, a pair of punts.
Well a’r, while we were
both «till admirin' those
pants, who sh’d heave 'long-
side o’ me hut Tops’l Bar­
ney« un old ahipmatu o'
mine.
We were yarnin’
away about old days when
wham!, somethin’ hit Bar­
ney from behind and he
went end over kilter, rootin'
into th' sand with his nose.
Just then my peepers
landed on whnt had keeled
Barney over. A big billy-
goat, with a mean eye, and
whiskers two feet long,
;ettin' ready to scupper me.
iy this time Barnev had
dug th’ sand out of his eyes
and nose und was settin’ up.
Barney (a pretty fat, but
when his eyes lit on that
goat gvttin* ready for an­
other broadside he bounced
to bi* feet like a rubber ball
and lit out for th’ nearest
tree, with me cuttin* th’
wind right ’longside o' him.
We’d no sooner got settled
on our perches in th’ trees
when th' real show started.
Down th’ road, hoppin’
along like a big cricket,
came Kangy. Soon's Whisk­
er Billie spotted my pal, up
went his tail, down went his
head, and he whizzed down
th’ road like a greased bul-
l»t. Shucks, Kangy made a
monkey out of that goat.
Every time old whiskers
charged him, Kangy would
hop up into th' air and Mr.
Goat would hit only dir.
A fter a little Kangy got
tired of playin' tag. When
Whisker Bill made for him
again he jumpeil into th’
air and landed on that
goat’s buck like a ton of
bricks. You sh'd have seen
how Kangy thrashed that
goat. When he Anally let
him up, Whisker Bill lit out
for th jungle.
