"Yes, and think yourself lucky," Polynesia put in, "that you are not locked up for stowing away and eating all our salt beef." "I don't know what the mischief we're going to do now," I heard her whisper to Bumpo. "We've no money to buy any more; and that salt beef was the most important part of the stores."
"Do you know what I believe?" she added presently. "I believe the Doctor has given up even thinking of going home." "Good Lord!" cried Bumpo. "You don't say!" "Sh!" said Polynesia. "What's that noise?" We listened; and away off in the distant corridors of the palace we heard the sentries crying, "The King! Make way! The King!" "It's he at last," whispered Polynesia "late, as usual.
"It's it's a new kind of banana," said Bumpo, for he and his brothers and sisters were very fond of the soft red and yellow fruit. "No, it isn't a banana," said Mrs. Monkey. "It's a cocoanut." "I never saw a cocoanut as big as that," spoke Mappo, for his papa had brought some smaller, round nuts to the tree-house, and had said they were cocoanuts.
He had never before seen Indians other than those exhibited in shows in New York. But these were different. They had never tasted civilization. They were like the Indians that Natty Bumpo knew, and of which Charley had read in Cooper's tales.
Bumpo sank fainting to the floor. The famous Pike chieftain never recovered from the deceit, and refused to marry Genevra, who died, twenty years afterwards, of a broken heart. Judge Tompkins lost his fortune in Wild Cat. The stage passes twice a week the deserted cottage at Donner Lake. Thus was the death of Muck-a-Muck avenged.
But don't be long about it. Hurry!" As soon as the Doctor had departed Bumpo sought out Don Enrique and said, "Honorable Sir, you owe me three-thousand pesetas." Without a word, but looking cross-eyed with annoyance, Don Enrique paid his bet. We next set out to buy the provisions; and on the way we hired a cab and took it along with us.
He broke off the branch, and with the sharp point he soon had torn a hole in the outer husk of the cocoanut. He pulled the round nut out. "I have it!" he chattered. "Yes, but it isn't good to eat yet," said Bumpo. "How are you going to open the rest of it?" Mappo did not know. Once more he tried to bite a hole, but he could not.
When they came to the beach they saw Polynesia and Chee-Chee waiting for them on the rocks near the ship. "I feel sorry about Bumpo," said the Doctor. "I am afraid that medicine I used will never last. Most likely he will be as black as ever when he wakes up in the morning that's one reason why I didn't like to leave the mirror with him.
"Stop insulting him! Don't you suppose he has wits enough to go home without your telling him?" "I thought perchance he might be of a philandering disposition," said Bumpo humbly. "It could be that he is tired of his home and needs to be encouraged. Shall I sing him 'Home Sweet Home, think you?" "No. Then he'd never go back. Your voice needs a rest.
On the contrary, before him, in her peerless beauty, stood Genevra Tompkins, leaning on her father's arm. "Ye'r not scalped, then!" gasped her lover. "No. I have no hesitation in saying that I am not; but why this abruptness?" responded Genevra. Bumpo could not speak, but frantically produced the silken tresses. Genevra turned her face aside. "Why, that's her waterfall!" said the Judge.
