What can you think of more de

CHAPTER V.
Among the Man-Eaters.
(PT mt& cfttiv of tfit Witch
of tb Night, fter having been mad
tiny through a trick. She deflea tha
Witch, who ordara her thrown among tha
Sla-later.)
UM- ZtlM- ZUM- ZUM
ZUM," buzzed the v Man-
Eaters hungrily. "We're
hungry. We smell food. We like
tender young girl. We'll drink her
veins dry. Yum-yum-yum 1"
What could these blod-thirsty
creatures be? Peggy was losing
her fear of the witch, because she
felt she was a crafty old fraud,
but the strange ' hum from within
the cage was an entirely different
matter.
"I like- music with my meals,"
squawked the Witch. "I'll have you
devoured while I eat my supper.
Your shrieks wtll be sweet strains
to my ears."
Peggy straightened up. She'd not
utter a single cry no matter how
terrible the Man-Eaters might be.
She would defy the Witch until the
last Then she remembered how
annoyed the Witch had been when
she used the vord "looney." So on
the, .spur of the moment she made
up a silly little verse.
"Thara waa a looney loon,
Who uaed to alyly apoon
By tha light of tha moon
With an old flirty coon.
And aha aald, 'We'll wed toon
you'll--- "
Peggy got no farther. Her verse
had a most unexepected effect. It
seemed to drive the Witch mad. She
whirlei.around and around on her
seat, while from her throat came
again the wild, weird cry.
The Ntghtv Herons , flew up In a
panic of fear, each bearing in his
bill a fish which he dropped before
the Witch as if to appsase herThe
Ravens left their worl? at the cage
and cowered before the Witch's
rage.
Peggy was amazed for a moment
and then the Witch's mad fury
struck her as being very funny.
"Ha, ha, ha!" she laughed.
"Ha. ha, ha!" laughed the Night
Herons and Ravens, their ' fear
abruptly changing to mirth.
The Witch went wilder than ever
at this.
"Roll thunders!" she shrieked.
And the thunder followed so quickly
the Birds stopped laughing at once.
"Throw this wretch of a Princess
to the Man-Eaters" the Witch com
manded. The Nitrht Herons and
Ra'ens held back; shaking .their
heads.
"Obey," shrieked the Witch
furiously. "Obey, or I'll bring
winds that will blow down all the
trees. I'll bring waters that will
cover the earth." ,
The Birds still held back, though
thev trembled.
"Blow winds." shrieked the Witchr
A mightv, blast swept throinrh the
trees. "Obey!" cried the Witch.
Night Heron stalked ufl to Petrey,
and seized her by the pajamas. The
Ravens opendi gap in the cage and

could eat her up and here were
scores and scores of them.
Peggy ran to the side of the cage
to try to break out. She found the
cage was a tough unbreakable
spider web. Huge spiders were al
ready patching up the gap made by
the Ravens. Ojjtside, the Witch
was beginning to gobble uo her fish
dinner, evidently expecting 'Peggy's
screams to furnish the music for
her meal.
Buzzing loudly, the Man-Eaters
started for Peggy. She fought with
all her might, warding off their
menacing bills. But she knew it
