CHAPTER I.
A LUDICROUS MEETING.
“Stop dot tonkey!”
Boom-te-boom-te-boom-boom!
The bass drummer of the band at the head of “Haley’s All-Star Combination and Mammoth Uncle Tom’s Cabin Company” did not miss a beat when the three “fierce and terrible untamed Siberian bloodhounds” darted between his legs in pursuit of the escaping donkey.
But when the fat Dutch lad, who had been leading the donkey, attempted to follow the dogs, there was a catastrophe.
The excited Dutch lad struck the drummer squarely, and the drummer uttered a yell of astonishment and terror. Into the air he flew, down he came, and—boom! bang! slam he went through the head of the drum.
