JUNGLE JINKS.
THE BOARS MEET WITH MORE TROUBLE.
1. Mischief as usual! There is no nd to the naughty tricks of the Jungle School boys. What are the young rascals up to now, I wonder? Why, I do believe they are making circus hoops. Hark! Jumbo is talking. “Well have such fun with the Boars after school this afternoon,” he says. "1 shall die with laughter when Billy Boar tries to jump through your wooden hoop.” 'll paste a piece of paper over it and he will never guess anything is wrong.
2. Now we come to chapter two. Observe Jacko leaping through Jumbo’s paper hoop just like a clown at a circus. “You couldn’t do that, Billy Boar,” grins Jumbo, with a twinkle in his eye which dearly means mischief. “Oh, couldn’t I! That’s all you know,” retorts Billy. “We could do that on our heads,’’ chimes in twin brother Willy. “Very well, Mr Clever, let’s see you do it,” chuckles Jumbo. “Jacko brings me the other hoop.
3. V hen I count three, you jump,” says Jumbo. “Are von readv? One! Two! Three! Jump'” Bump' mics Billy’s head against the sham hoop. “Oh! oh!” cries the Boar. “Oh, my mor head! I’ll tell Dr. I.ion of von see if I don’t! Boo! hoo!” and away he runs with his brother to the head mister’s studs'. “Tee! hee l ” sniggers Jacko, “he said he could do it on his head and he did!” “Haw! haw!” roars Jumbo, “we must trv this trick on some of the other fellows. Come along!”
