CHAPTER XIII Continued
A GREAT bull raised his trunk to rumble
3. a 'ow wnrn'nK ns he sensed the coming
ef an Intruder. Ills weak eyes roved hither
nd thither, but It wns his keen scent nnd
Acute hearing which first located the npo
man. The herd-moved restlessly, prepared
for flight: for the old bull had caught the
scent of man.
'trcaco, Tantor," called tho Kilter. "It Is
I, Korak, Tarmanganl."
The bull lowered his trunk and the herd
resumed their Interrupted meditations. Ko
rk passed within a foot of the grcnt bull.
A sinuous trunk undulated toward him,
touching his brown hldo In a half caress.
Korak slapped tho great shoulder affection
ately as he went by.
For years he had been upon good terms
w(th Tantor nnd his people. Of all tho
jungle folk, he loved best the mighty pachy
derm tho most peaceful and at the snme
time the most tcrrlblo of them all. The
gentle gazelle feared him not; yet Numa,
lord of tho Jungle, gave him a wldo berth.
Among tho younger bulls, the cows nnd
the calves Korak wound, his way. Now
and then another trunk Would run out to
touch him nnd once a playful calf grasped
his legs' and upset him.
The afternoon was almost spent when
Korak arrived nt the vlllago of Kovudoo.
There were many natives lolling In shady
pots beside the conical huts, or beneath
tin branches of tho several trees which had
been left standing within the Inclosure.
Warriors wore In evidence upon every han(j.
It was not a good time for a lone oncmy
to prosecute a search through tho village.
Korak determined to nwalt the coming of
darkness. He was a match for many war
riors; but ho could not, unaided, overcome
n entire tribe not oven for his beloved
Merlem.
While he waited among the branches and
foliage of a nearby tree, ho searched the
village constantly with his keen eyes, and
twlco he circled It, snlfflng tho vagrant
breeies. which puffed erratically from first
one-point of tho compass and then another.
Among the various stenches peculiar to a
native village the Apeman's sensltlvo nos
trils' were flnntly rewarded by cognizance
of the delicate aroma which marked the
presence of her ho sought.
Merlem was there In one of those huts!
But which one he could not know without
closer Investigation; and so he waited, with
the dogged patlenco of a beast of prey,
until night had fallen.
The camp fires of the blacks dotted the
gloom wltlv little points of light, casting
their feeble rays In tiny circles, of lumin
osity that brought Into glistening relief the
naked bodies of those who lay or squatted
about them. It was then that Korak slid
andndrUm !!"l,t,rei.th(l1 hRd "'"en him

How dose he came to detection on sev
eral occaMons'lhe Killer well knew from the
restless whining of several of them.
1 i".".?01 unl" ha rae'ied the back of
a nut at the head of the wide village street
that Korak caught again, plainly, the
f . ." Merem- With nose close to the
thatched wall, Korak sniffed eagerly, nbout
the structure tense nnd palpitant as a
hunting hound.
Toward the front and the door he mnde
h s way when once his riose had assured
him thnl Merlem lay wthlnr but ns he
rounded tho side and came within view of
the entrance, he saw a burly negro, armed
with a long spear, squatting nt the portal
of the girt' prison.
Tho fell w's back was toward him, his
figure outlined ngalnst the glow of cooking
fires further down the street. He was
alone, the nearest of his fellows being be
side a fire 60 or 70 feet beyond.
To enter the hut, Korak must cither si
lenco the sentry or pass him unnoticed.
The Hanger In the accomplishment of the
former alternative lay In the practical cer
tnlnly of alarming tho wnrrlors nearby, and
bringing them nnd the remainder of the
village down upon them. To achieve the
latter appeared Impossible.
To you or mo It would have been Im
possible; but Korak, the Killer, was not as
you or I
There wai a good twelve Inches of space
hetweer the broad back of the black and
the frame of the doorway. Could Korak
pnss tr rough behind tho savngo warrior
without detection? The light that fell upon
the glistening ebony of tho sentry's black
skin fell, also, upon tho light brown of
Korak'n. Should one of the mnny farther
down the street chance to look long In this
direction, he must surely noti- tho tall,
light-colored, moving figure; but Kornk de
pended upon their Interest In their own
gossip to hold their attention fast wheru
It already lay, and upon the flrel.ght near
him to prevent them seeing too plainly
nt a distance Into the darkness at the vil
lage end where his work lny.'
Flattened ngalnst tho side of the hut.
yet not aroiiFlng a single warning rustU
from Its dried thatching, tho Killer came
closer nnd closer to the wntcher. Now he
wns at his shoulder Now he hnd wormed
his sinuous way behind him. Ho could feel
the heat of the naked body ngalnst his
knees. He could henr the man breathe.
Ho marveled that tho dull-witted creature
had not long since l);en alarmed; but tho
fellow sat there as Ignorant of the pres
ence of another as though thnt other had
not existed,
Korak moved scarcely more than an Inch
at a time, when he would stnnd motionless
for a moment. Thus was he worming his
wny behind the gunrd when the latter
straightened up, opened his cavernous
mouth In n wide yawn, and stretched IiIj
arms abovo his head. Korak stood rigid an
stone. Another step nnd no would bo with
in tho hut.
The blnck lowered his arms nnd relaxed.
Behind him was the framework of tho
doorway. Often before hnd It supported
his sleepy head and now he leaned back to
enjoy tho forbidden pleasure of n cntnau
But. Instead of the door-frame, his head
and shoulders came tn contact with tho
warm flesh of a ralr of living legs. Ther
exclnmatlon of surprise that nlmost burst
from his lips was throttled In his throat
by steel-thawed fingers thnt closed nbout
his windpipe with the suddenness of
thought.
The black struggled to arise to turn
upon the creature that had seized him to
wriggle from Its hold ! but all to no purpose.
As he had been held In a mighty vise of Iron
he could not move. He could not scream.
Those awful fingers nt his throat but closed
more and mo.s tightly. His eyes bulged
from their sockets. His face turned nn
ashy blue, Presently he relaxed once
mora this time In tho final dissolution
from which there Is no quickening.
Korak propped the dead body against
the door-frnme. There It sat, llfcllkh In
the gloom. Then the apeman turnedland
glided Into the Stygian darkness of 1 the
hut'B Interior.
"Merlem!" he whispered.
"Korakl My Kornk" came nn answering
cry, subdued by fear of nlarmlng her cap
tors, nnd half stifled by a sob of Joyful
welcome. -
The youth knelt nnd cut the bonds that
held tho girl's wrists nnd ankles A mo
ment Inter he had lifted her to her fest
nnd, grasping her by tho hand, led her
townrd tho entrance.
Outside tho grim sentlnal of death kept
his grisly vigil. SnlfTing nt his dead feet
whined a mangy native cur. At sight of
the two emerging from the hut the beast
(?auo nn ugly snnrl. nnd nn Instnnt Inter,
as It caught the scent of tho strange whit
man, It raised a series of excited yelps.
Instantly the warriors at the nearby Are
were attracted. They turned their headi
In tho direction of the commotion. It wni
Imposslbl" thnt they should fall to Bee tho
white skins of tho fugitives.
Kornk slunk quickly Into the shndows
nt the hut's side, dinwlng Merlem with
him; but he wns too Intc. The blncks hnd
seen enough to arouse their suspicions, nnl
a dozen of them wore now running to In
vestigate. The yapping cur wns still nt
Kornk's heels, lending the senrchers uner
ringly In pursuit. The youth struck vicious
ly nt the brute with his long spear; but,
long necustomed to dodging blows, the wily
crcaturo mnde n mot uncertain target.
Other blncks had been nroused by tho
running nnd shouting of their companions,
nnd now the entire population of tho vlllatro
was swnrmlrg up the street to nsslst In
the search. Their first discovery was the
dead body of the sentry, nnd a moment
later one of the bravest of them entered
the hut nnd discovered tho absence of the
prisoner.
These startling announcements filled the
blncks with n combination nf terror nnd
rnge; but seeing no foe hi evidence, thev
wore enabled to permit their rngo to get
the better nt their tnor nnd si the lead
ers, pusHed on by those behind them, ran
rapidly nround the hut In the direction of
the ynpplng of' the innngy cur.
Horo they found n single white wnrrlor
making nwny with their captive, and recog
nlzli.g him ns the nuthor of numerous rnlds
and Indignities, nnd, believing that they
hnd him cornered nnd nt u disadvantage,
they charged savagely upon him.
Korak. seulng that they wore discovered,
lifted Merltm to his shoulder and ran for
tho tree Ahlch would give them egress
from th vIllagL. He was handicapped In
his flight by the velght of the girl, whoso
legs would, hardly bear her weight, to sny
imthlnK ii nn .nt:ilt,-.ng her In ,-ipld flight ;
for the tightly drawn bonds that had been
nbout her ankles for so long had stopped
circulation and partially paralyzed her ex
tremities. Hnd this not been the case the escape
of the two would havo been a fent of
little moment since Merlem was scurcely
a whit less .vgllo than Korak nnd fully
as much at homo In tha trees as he.
I3ut with the girl on his shoulder, Korak
could not both tun nnd fight to advantage;
and the result wns thnt before he hnd
covered hnlf the dlstnnco to the tree a
score of native curs, attracted by the yeln-
Ing of their mate and tho yells and shouts
of their masters, had closed In upon the
FARMER SMITHS
RAINBOW CLUB
A LITTLE TALK ABOUT TREES
Dear Children I wish before you read this, you would close your eyes
and try to think what there is about a tree that resembles YOU.
There are branches, or limbs. You have limbs also. At the end of the
branch of a trco you sec a leaf and at the end of your limb you sec a hand with
tiny lines upon it. If you look closely at the leaves on a tree you will sec that
it has lines also. Through a tree flows the gentle sap and through your body
flows blood, which is to you what the sap is to the tree.
Every day there are thousands of trees being cut down and every day dur
ing the spring we h'car of floods. You see, when the gentle rain comes down
upon the earth it pauses amid the leaves of the trees and falls gently upon the
grqund where it meets with the roots of the trees, but when we find acre after
sere barren and not a tree in sight, the rain falls on the ground and rushes
into the river and makes it a swollen torrent.
We are fast becoming a nation where nature has had to take a back seat
and nature docs not seem to like it. In our large cities the trees are always
in the light and so arc the flowers. There is no chance for cither of them to go
to bed and tho result is that qur trees are growing old fast and dying.
Take care of the trees in your yard and if you have nono, plant one and
Watch it grow and remember, as the twig is bent, so the tree inclines.
Be good to the trees.

Hi lr i8 tow, " mBV n i r -
f JDIMY JIONKEY AND HIS TEARS
By Farmer Smith
If there wns one thing In this world which
the Baby Baboon did not like to see It was
some one crying. Jimmy Monkey knew this,
and as he snt on the front poich he was
trying to think up something which would
make the Bnby Baboon pay more attention
to him and at the eamo time would not hurt
the little fellow.
The fact was. Jimmy did not know
whether the Baby Baboon still liked him.
and he thought he might as welt find out,
bo he set about his task with a will.
"I guess I would have to cry about half
an hour before my handkerchief got wet,"
said Jimmy to himself. Then suddenly, "I
know what I'll do!"
In a minute he ivns at the pump wetting
his handkerchief. After he had done this
ho went back on tho porch nnd waited for
tho Baby Baboon to come along. By and
by the little fellow came along, looking
for' Jimmy. He heard some one Bobbing
and it made his little heart go all the
faster. Ao he approached the, porch he
heard Jimmy crying nnd crying.
"What's the matter. Jimmy?" asked the
Baby Baboon.
"Boo hoo! Boo hoo!" It seemed as If
Jimmy's heart was breaking. Every little
while he would stop and squeeze the water
out of his handkerchief.
"Boo hoo ! I want a cocoanut I want a
cocoanut," Jimmy kept on crying,
"Don't cry for a cocoanut I'll get you
one right away," said the Bnby Baboon,
putting his arm around Jimmy's neck
"Don't! Don't!" exclaimed Jimmy.
"You'll squeeze more tears from my eyes
and thep I can't cry any more. Oh. dear!
I want a cocoanut,"
The Baby Baboon could not stand It any
longer, but scampered oft as fast as he
could to get Jimmy a cocoanut.
Jimmy peeked out from under the wet
handkerchief and could see the little fellow
climbing the tree and trying as hard as
ever he could to get a cocoanut for Jimmy.
"I can't run away and leave him," thought
Jimmy. "I will never try to tease him, poor
little fellow : I will never try to tease him
like this again. There are times when your
heart Is hurt and It Is worse than If your
body was hurt, r never knev that be-e-fore."
And, before Jimmy knew It, he was really
crying. By and by the Baby Baboon came
bapk with the cocoanut and Jimmy stopped
crying and said;
"I was -only trying to fool you will you
forgive met"
"Of course I will." said the Baby Baboon.
"Give me back the cocoanut and dry your
tears."
"I want the cocoanut myself," said Jimmy,
Then "the Baby Baboon thought of an
Idear he began to cry, too. 7
"BOO! HOO! BOO HOO!" I,t Beemed
as if the noise of the Baby Baboon's crying
vyent all through Jungletown- At least
Missus Monkey thought there was a lot of
noise somewhere, so she poked her head out
of the window and asked:
"What's the matter here?"
"Nothing," answered Jimmy. "Only we're
having a little cry party."
At this Missus Monkey couldn't help
laughing.

and at Inst succeeding In tripping him.
As he went down tho hyenalike brutes
were Upon him, and as he struggled to hip
feet the blacks cloned In.
A couple of them seized the clawing,
biting Merlem nnd subdued her a blow
upon the hend was sufficient. For the
npeman they found more drastic meas
ures would bo necessary. Weighted down
as ho was by dogs and wnrrlors, he still
managed to struggle to his feet. To tho
right and left he swung crushing blows
to the faces of his human nnUgonlsts to
tho dogs he paid not tho slightest atten
tion, other than to seize the moro per
sistent and wring their necks with a single
quick movement of the wrist.
But old Kovudoo was not to be so
easily robbed of tho rnnsom which the
girl represented, and seeing thnt their weak
ness lay In the undisciplined method of tholr
nttnek. which had up to now resulted In
a series of Individual combats with the
white wnrrlor, he called his tribesmen off.
and forming them In a compact body nbout
tho girl and tho two who watched over
her, bade them do nothing moro than repel
the assaults of the apeman.
Again nnd ngaln Korak rushed against
this human barrlcado bristling with spear
points. Again and ngaln ho was repulsed,
often with severo wounds to caution him
to greater wariness. From hend to foot
ho wns red with his own blood; nnd, at
Inst, weakening from the loss of It. ho
came to the bitter realization that nono
he could do no more to succor his Merlem
Presently nn Idea flashed through his

his Intention or prevent him. Koiak wheeled,
meed ncrnsa tho vlllnRC. nnd with a single
lenp disappeared Into tho foliage of the
Kront tree that was his high road to the
vlllnge of Kovudoo. A shower of spears
followed him. but their only harvest was
a taunting laugh flung back from the dark
ness of tho Jungle.
CHAPTER XIV
The Swedes Take n Hand
MURIEM, agnln bound and under heavy
guard In Kovudoo's own hut, saw the
night pass an'd tho new day como with
out bringing the momentarily looked-for
return of Korak. Sho had no doubt but
that he would como back, and still less
that he would easily freo her from her
cnptlvlty. ... ...
To her Korak wns little short of om
nipotent. He embodied for her all that
was finest and strongest nnd best In her
savage world. She gloried In his prowess
and worshiped him for the tender thought
fulness that had nlwnyH marked his treat
ment of her, None other within her mem
ory had ever accorded her tho love and
gentleness that was hU dally offering to
her.
If ho growled nnd showed his fighting
fangs when they trespassed upon his In-ii-,v,i,.
richiH to the fruits of his kills,
they felt no anger to him only greater
rnr for tho efficient ana tne
him who could not only kill,
slso protect his kll. ...,,.,
Put toward Merlem he always had shown
-e of his human, side Ho killed pr
rv,nriiv for her. It was to her feet he
brought the fruits of his labors. It
r iTnriem moro than for himself
lie squatted beside his flesh nnd growled
ominously at whosoever dared sniff too
closely at It. ..... ,
What wonder, then, that Merlem loved
her Korak? But she loved him as a little
sister might love a big brother who was
very good to her.
As yet she knew nothing of tho love
of a maid for a man.
So now. as she lay waiting for him.
she dreamed of him and of all that he
meant to her. She compared him with
the sheik, her father; nnd at the thought
of the stern, grizzled old Arab she shud
dered. Even the savage blacks had been
less harsh to her than he.
Not understanding their tongue, sho could
not guess what purpose they had In keep.
Ing her a prisoner. Sho know that man
ate man. nnd she hid expocted to be
eaten; but she had been with them for
some time now, and no harm hnd be
fallen her.
She did not know that n runner had
hecn dlspatchd to th distant vlllago of
the sheik to barter with him for a ransom
She did not know, nor did Kovudoo. that
the runner had never reached his destina
tionthat he had fallen In with the safari
of Jenssen and Ifalhlhn. and, with the
talkatlvenes of a native to other natives,
had unfolded his whole mission to the
black servants of the two Swedes. These
had not been long In retailing the mnt
ter to their masters, and the result was
that when the runner left their camp
to continue his Journey, ho had scarce
passed from sight before thr came the
report of a rifle, nnd he rolled. lifeless. Into

A few minutes later Malhlhn strolled
hack Into the encampment, where he went
to soma pains to let It be known that
he had had a shot at a fine buck and
missed. The Swedes knew that their men
hated them, and that an overt act against
Kovudoo would quickly be carried to the
chief at the first opportunity. Nor were
they sufficiently strong in either guns or
loyal followers to risk antagonizing the
wily old chief.

who had allied himself with the beasts

Beach squatters are taking advantage of
sunny dnys to Indulge In their favorite
amusement, that of lolling In the sands and
tho taking of an afternoon nap with a hum
mock of sand ns a pillow Sitting In beach
chairs Is not comfortable at the present
time, n's winds nro frequently piercing, but
the sands are soon warmed by the sun, and
n loaf on the bench Is enjoyed by many. A
little later, when thousands of bathers will
romp on the beach, this pastime will be
cast Into tho discard.
Twenty llfo guards are to go on duty on
Sundny nnd that number will be added to
every day when the crowds begin to grow,
It Is expected that when the season Is nt
Its height moro than 100 guards will be
employed to caro for bathers, about 20 per
cent, more than last year. Dr. Charles Bos
sert has been nppolnted chief surgeon for
the beach patrol, nnd William Lamb has
been named head cnptaln. All of the beach
bathing establishments will be In full blast
by Saturday, most of them being In readi
ness to receive customers now.
The dredge Absccon Is still pumping
sand out of the Inlet channel and dumping
It down the bench. Captains of the yachts
sailing from the Inlet say that the channel
Is now at Its full depth, and thnt any craft
can pass through It with safety and without
any danger of running Into shoals.
The Inst run of the Boston mnckerel Is

Care of Raspberries
M. C. S. To ensuro a profusion of bloom
and fruit pinch oft tho canes when they
have reached a height of three to four feet
thus promoting lateral shoots which will
bear. For the bugs which troubled you
last year, spray with nicotine solution.
After tho berries havo formed, spray with
hellebore solution. Be sure to use fresh
hellebore as It deteriorates.
Climbing Roses
John D. L. If you wish to get awav
from the Crimson nambler roses why not
try the Tausend&choen or Thousand Beau
ties? The climbing La France and the
Dorothy Perkins nro two free blooming and
lovely pink roses. These can be bought
In potted form from B0 to 76 cents each In
specimens which ought to bloom this sea
son. You can obtnln, even at this late date,
some of the Holland grown dormant bushe.
which are sturdy. Plant them so that the
grafted stock will be below the ground.
Make a good deep hole and blend In some
well-rotted stable manure or bone meal
with the bottom soil. Put the top soil about
the roots and fill In with the "made soli."
Do not let any of the manure or fertilizer
come In contact with the roots. Put n
mulch of grass cuttings about tho stems in
order to conserve moisture during dry
spells.
Ponderosa
MIFFLIN. Ponderoea Is a very satis
factory tomato. It requires some staking.
But If you have plenty of ground, you
might let It run ; some of the branches
will root In the ground and feed the plant
more nutriment. Some growers often
trench In shoots of their tomatoes In order
to gain a more extensive root growth.
Spraying Grape Vines
OLNEV. It Is a wise precaution to
Bpray the grape vines now with arsenated
Bordeaux mixture. Do not use the arsenate
after the grapes have formed. As for the
tent caterpillar It Is the best thing to do
to pick these pests off Individually. This
Is tedious, but not so bad as It sounds.
Take off curled leaf and all and burn the
harvest.
Cauliflower
C. D. W. Snowball Is a very good
variety of cauliflower for the home garden.
For early cauliflower It will be necessary
to buy the plants, which ought not to cost
moro than a quarter orso a dozen. If you
wish to plant seed for a later crop, do so at
once and see that the ground In the seed
bed Is very rich and the exposure is sunny.
Aph'des on Roses
DOnOTHV. Yes, the green lice or
Aphides have appeared on the roses, to the
annoyance of thoso who know how difficult
It Is to combat their ravages. One sign of
their presence, even when they are not
visible, la the activity of ants on the
bushes; the ants "milk" the Aphides of a
sort of hopey which they exude. A nico
tine solution Is very good for the Aphides,

or a solution of fir tree oil soap, used a
teaspoonful to a quart of water. This Is
not so unpleasant to handle as some of
the solutions made to spray plants ; In fact.
It has a rather aromatic odor. In spray
ing roses remembor that thore are several
generations of Aphides on the bushes, so
spray at least four nights In succession.
Repeat the operation a. week or so later
If more make their appearance. Tho flr
tree oil soap comes at 25 cents a package
and this will last a couple of seasons. It
Is also excellent for tho green fly on chrys
anthemums and asters nnd the black ty on
nasturtiums.
Geranium
N. M. The General Grant or the Lady
Washington are very satisfactory varieties
of geranium for bedding. 1 would advise
a red coleus to edge the bed. For boxes
periwinkle Is the best trailing vine.
Violets
Dr. K. You can plant violets now, If you
buy plants. Some of them should bloom
this year. Swanley for white and Princess
of Wales for purple are hardy and fragrant.
They cost about one dollar a dozen.
Hardy Begonia
D. The hardy begonia you refer to is
the Evanslana. It lives out over winter.
Plant it In a semlshady position.
