Oh, indeed, said Koko, as he uttered a longwhistle with his pursed-up lips. I am not acquaintedwith the instrument. Nanki Poo could be silent no longer.

THE STORY OF THE MIKADO In the meantime Yum-Yum, Peep Bo and Pitti-Sing had been devoting their attention to Pooh Bah,who stood absolutely motionless to express his con-temptuous indifference to the impertinent curiosityof the young ladies. They had never seen anythinglike him before, and they were not quite sure thathe wasnt a piece of ingenious waxwork. One ofthem, to make sure, poked him in the ribs with herforefinger, which made him jump. Its alive ! said she, starting back in alarm.

No, no, replied Koko. You shant kiss them.A little bow—a mere nothing. You neednt mean it,you know. It goes against the grain, said Poo
