UNCLE SILAS'S ENCOUNTER WITH THE EVIL ONE.
1
Jocko makes a bolt for the woods to escape a cruel master.
2
Finds a nice box which is just the place to hide in;
3
But soon discovers his mistake, to the delight of Uncle Silas, who finds his trap sprung,
4
And bags what he thinks a fine buck rabbit.
5
Visions of a savory stew present themselves as he takes poor Jocko homewards,
6
Which are about to be realized, when Jocko
7
Makes a second bolt for liberty,
8
And so did Silas and Chloe.
