CHAPTER XIV Continued
ONIjY by dint of masterful maneuvering
nnd the expenditure of much powder
had the Swedes been able to reputae tha
Infuriated apes, and oven for hours after
ward their oamp' was constantly bcsleued
by hundreds of snartlns, creaming devils.
The Swedes, rides In hand, repelled nu
merous Bavaue charges, which lacked only
efficient leadorshlp to havo rendered them
effective In results as they were terrify
ing In appearance. Tlmo and tlmo again
the two men thought they saw the smooth
tklnncd body of the wild apeman moving
among the baboons In tho forest, nnd the
belief that ho might head a chargo upon
them proved most disquieting. They would
ha6 glen much for a clean shot at him,
for to him they attributed tho loss of tholr
specimen nnd the ugly nttltudo of the ba
boons toward thom.'
"Tho fellow must be the same wo fired
on seeral years ago," Bald Malblhn. "That
tlmo ho was accompanied by a gorilla. Did
you "get a good look at him, Carl?"
'Tea." replied Jcnsson. "Ho was not five
paces from mo when I flrcd nt him. Ho ap
pears to bo nn Intelligent-looking European
and not much more than a lad, There
Is nothing of tho Imbecile or degenerate In
his features or expression, as Is usually
true In similar cases whero some lunatic
escapes into tho woods and, by living In filth
and nakedness, wins tho tltlo of wild man
among tho peasants of the neighborhood.
No, this fellow Is of different stuff and
so Infinitely more to bo feared. As much ns
I should like a shot at him, I hopo he stays
away; should ho ever dellbwatoly lead a
chargo ngalnst us I wouldn't give much for
our chances: If ve happened to fall to bag
him at the flrstirush."
But tho whltoV'ant did not appear cgaln
to lead tho baboons against them, and
finally tho angry brutes themselves wan
dered off Into tho Jungle, leaving ' the
frightened safari In peace.
The next day the -Swedes set out for
Kovudoo's village, bent on securing pos
session of tho person of the white girl
whom Kovudoo's runner had told "them lay
captive in tho chief's village. How they
were to accomplish their end they did not
know. Forco was out of the question,
though they would not have hesitated to
Use it had they posccssed It.
In former yenrs they had marched rough
shod over enormous areas, taking toll by
bruto force cvon when kindliness or diplo
macy would have accomplished more;
but now they were in bad straits so bad
that they had not shown their true colon
scarco twice in a year, nnd then only whon
they camo upon an isolated village, weak In
numbers and poor In courage.
Kovudoo was not of these, and though his
village was In a way remoto from tho moro
populous .district to the north, his power
was such that he maintained an acknow
ledged suzerainty over tho thin thread of
Ullages which connected ljjm with the sav
age lords to tho north, f
To havo antagonized him would have
spelled ruin for the Swedes. It would have
meant that they- might never reach civiliza
tion by tho northern route. To the west,
the village of tho sheik lay directly In their
path, barring them effectually. To the east,
the trail was unknoua to them, nnd to the
south there was no trail.
So the two Swedes approached the vil
lage of Kovudoo with friendly words upon
their tongues and deep craft in their henrts.
Their plans were well made. There was
no mention of tho whlto prisoner they
chose to pretend that they were not nwaro
that Kovudoo had a white prisoner. They
'exchanged gifts with tho old chief, haggling
with his plenipotentiaries over the value
of what they were to recelvo for what they
gave, as Is customary and proper when one
has no ulterior, rnotivos. Unwarranted gen
erosity would have aroused suspicion.
Durlnir tho nalavcr which followed, they
retailed the gossip of the villages through'
.wmch they had passed, receiving in ex
change such news as Kovudoo possessed.
The palaver was long and tiresome, as
these native ceremonies always are to
Europeans. Kovudoo made no montlon of
l)ls prisoner, and from hls generous offers
of guides and presents seemed anxious to
assure himself of the speedy departure of
his guests.
It was Malblhn who, quite casually, near
the close of their talk, mentioned the fact
that the sheik was dead. Kovudoo evinced
Interest and surprise, '
"You did not know It?" nsked Malblhn,
"That Is strange. ,It was during tho lasf
moon. Ho fell from hlu horse when the
east stepped In a hole. The horse fell
upon him. When his men came up, the
sheik was quite dead."
Kovudoo scratched, his hoad. He was
much disappointed.. No sheik meant no
ransom for the white girl. Now she was
worthless, unless he utilized her for a feast,
or a mate.
Tho latter thought aroused him. He
spat at a small beetle crawling through the
dust before him. Ho eyed Malblhn np
pralilngly. These white men were peculiar,
Tsey traveled far from thelrown villages
without women. Yet ho knew they cared
for women.
But how much did they care for them?
That waa the question that dlsturbe'a Ko
vudoo. "I know where there Is a white girl," he
said unexpectedly. "If you wish to buy her,
he may be had cheap."
Malblhn Bhrugged, "We have trouble
enough, Xovudoo," he said, "without bur
dening ourselves with an old, broken-down
she hyena, and as for- paying for one"
Malblhn snapped hla finger In derision,
"She l8,young," said Kovudoo, "and good
looking." ,
The Swedes laughed. "There are no
good-looking white women tn the Jungle, Ko
vudoo," aald Jenssen. "You should ba
ashamed, to try to make fun of old friends."
Kovudoo sprang to Ills feet, '"Come," he
said. "I will show you that she Is all I
say"
Malblhn and Jenssen rose to follow him.
and as the did so their eyes met, and
Malblhn slowly dropped one, of bis lids In
& sly wink. Together thoy followed Kovu
doo toward his hut. In the dim Interior
they discerned the figure of ft woman lying
bound upon a ajeeplng-mat.
Malblhn took, a single glance and turned
J-wayV "She must be a thousand yearn old,
KovudbQ," ha said as be left the hut
"Sba la young.',' cried the savage. "It Is
dark In here. Ypu cannot see, Walt, I will
have her brought out In the sunlight." And
na commanded, the two warriors who
watched the girl to cut the bonds from her
ankles and lead her forth for Inspection.
Malblhn and Jenssen evinced no eager
hess, though both weralrly bursting with

Slowly and dimly, na though, from a
great distance, recollection of the once fa.

"I "Ijould like to go free," she said, "and

to go with us?" per-
"You woutd like
stated Malblhn.
"No," said Merlem,
Malblhn turned to Kovudoo. "She does
not wish to go with us," he said.
"You aro men," returned tho black,
"Can you not take her by force,"
"It would only add to our troubles," re
plied the Swede, "No, Kovudoo, we do
not wish her; though, If you wish to be
rid of her, we will take her away, because
of our friendship for you." .
Now, Kovudoo knew that he had mado
n sale. They wanted her. So ho com
menced to bargain, and tn the end tho per
son o$ Merlem passed from the possession
of the black chieftain Inter that of the two
Swedes In consideration of six yards of
Amcrlknn, thrco empty brass cartridge
shells, and n shiny new Jachkntfo from New
Jersey.
And nil but Merlem were more than
pleased with tho bargain.
Kovudoo stipulated but a single condi
tion, and that was that tho Europeans were
lo leave his village and tako the girl with
them os early the next morning as they
could get started. After the. sale ho did
not hesltato to explain his reasons for this
demand. He told them of the strenuous at
tempt of the girl's savage mato to rescue
her, and suggested that tho sooner they
got her out of the country tho more likely
they were to retnln possession of her.
-Merlem was again bound and placed un
der guard, but this time In the tent of the
Swedes. Malblhn tnlked to her, trying to
persuade her to accompany them willingly.
Ho told her that they would return her to
her own lllagc, but when he discovered
that she would rather die than go hack to
the old sheik, he assuiefl her that they
would not take her there nor, as a matter
of fact, had they any intention of so doing.
Ab he talked with the girl tho Swedo
feasted his eyes upon the beautiful lines
of her face and figure. She had grown tall
and straight and slender tow nrd maturity
since he had seen her In tho sheik's village
on that long-gono day. For yenrs she had
represented to him a certain fabulous re
ward. In his thoughts she had been but
the personification of the pleasures nnd
luxuries that many franca would purchase.
Now as 8ho stood before him, pulsing
with life and loveliness, she suggested
other seductive and alluring possibilities.
Ho came closer to her and laid his hand
upon her. The girl shrank from him. Ho
seized her, nnd she struck him heavily In
tho mouth as ho sought to kiss her.
Then Jenssen entered the tent.
"Mnlblhnl"' he shouted. "You fooll"
Then Malblhn released his hold upon the
girl, and turned toward his companion.
His face was red with mortification.
"What the devil are you trying to do?"
growled Jenssen. "Woula you throw awny
ever chance for thd reward? If wo mal
treat her we 'not only couldn't collect a
sou, but they'd send ub to prison for our
pains. I thought you had more sense,
Malblhn."
"I'm not a wooden man," growled Mal
blhn. "You'd better be," rejoined Jenssen; "at
least until we have delivered her over In
safety and collected what will be coming
to us."
"Oh. hell!" cried Malblhn. "What's the
use? They'll be glad enough to havo her
back, and by the time wo get there with
her she'll be only too glad to keep her
mouth shut. Why not?" i
"Becauso I say not," growled ensserh
"I've always let you boss things, Svn; but
here's a caBO whero what I say has got
to go because I'm right and you're wrong,
and we both know It"
"You're getting mighty vlrtuouB mil of a
sudden,"' growled Mnlbllin. "Perhaps you
think I have forgotten about tho Innkeeper's
daughter, nnd little Celelln, and that nig
ger at "
"Shut up," snapped Jenssen. "It's not
a matter of virtue, and you nre as well
aware of that as I. I don't want to quarrel
with you; but, so help me Clod, Sven, you're
not going to harm this girl If I have to kill
you to prevent It! I've suffered nnd slaved
and been nearly killed forty times In the
last nine or ton years trying to accomplish
what luck has thrown at our feet at last,
and now I'm not going to be robbed of the
fruits of success because you Happen to De
more of a beast than a man. Again I warn
you, Sven " and he tapped the revolver
that swung In Itr holster at his hp.
Malblhn gave his friend an ugly look,
shrugged his shoulders, and left the tent.
Jenssen turned to Merlem.
"If he bothers you again cnll me," he
said. "I Bhall always b uomewhere near,"
The girl had not understood the conver
sation that had been carried on by her two
owners,' for It had been In Swedish, but
what Jenssen had Just said to her In Arabic
sho understood, nnd from it grasped an ex
cellent Idea of what had passed between
the two. The expressions upon their faces,
their gestures, and Jenssen's final tapping
of his revolver before jlalbllin had left
the tent had all been eloquent of the se
riousness of their altercation,
Now toward Jenssen sho looked tor
friendship, and with the innocence of youth
he threw herself upon his msrey. begging
him to 6et her free that she might return
to Korak and her Jungle life. But Bhe
was doomed to another disappointment, for
the man only laughed and told her roughly
that If she tried to escape she woultl be
punished by the very thing that he had
just saved her from.
All that night she lay listening for a sig
nal ffom Korak. All about the Jungle, life
moved through the darknees. To her sen
sitive ears came sounds that the others in
the camp could not hear tounds that she
Interpreted as we-might interpret the speech
of o, friend, but not once came a single
note that betokened the presence of Korak,
But she knew that he would come. Noth
ing short of death lUell could prevent her
Korak from returning for her.
What delayed him. thought
When morning came again and the night
had brought no succoring Korak, Mertem's
faith and loyalty were still unshaken,
though misgivings began to assail her as
to the safety of her friend. It seemed un
believable that serious mishap could have
overtaken her wonderful Korak, who dally
passed unscathed through all the terrors of
the Jungle. Yet morning came, the morn
ing meal was eaten, the camp broken, and
the disreputable safari of the Swedes waa
asnln on the move northward with still no
sign of the rescue by Korak the girl mo.
mentarlly expected.
All that day they marched, and the next
and the next! nor did Korak even so much
as show himself to the patient little waiter,
moving, silent and stately, betide her hard
Malblhn remained scowling and angry
Ho replied to Jenssen' friendly advances in
curt monosyllables. To Meriem be did not
aneak. buK on several occasion she discov
ered bhn glaring t her from beneath half
cloaed lids greedily Tha JooU sent a shud
der through her- She hugged Qeeka closer
that they had taken from her when she
was captured by Kovudoo.
It was on tho fourth day that-Merlem
began definitely to give up hope. Some
thing had happened to Kqrnk. She knew
It. He would never come now, and these
men would take her away. Presently they
would kill her She would never see her
Korak ngnln.
On this day the Swedes rested, for they
had marched rapidly and their men were
tired. Malblhn and Jenssen nad gone from
camp to hunt, taking different directions.
They had been gone about an hour when
the door of Merlem's tent was lifted and
Malblhn entered. Tho look of a beast Vrtw
on his face.
CHAPTER XV
Bwnnn'e Home
WITH wide eyes fixed upon him, like a
trapped creature horrified beneath the
mesmeric gazo of a great serpent the girl
watched the approach of the man. Hor
hands were free, tho Swedes having secured
her with a length of ancient slave-chain
fastened at one end to an Iron collar pad
locked nbout her neck and the other to a
long stake driven deep Into the ground.
Slowly Merlem shrank, Inch by Inch, to
ward the opposite end of tho tent. Malblhn
followed her. His hands were oxtended.nnd
his fingers half opened -clawlike to seize
her. His lips were parted, and his breath
came quickly, pantlngly.
The girl recalled Jenssen's Instructions to
call him should Malblhn molest her; but
Jenssen had gone Into tho Jungle to hunt
Malblhn had chosen his tlmo well.
Yet she screamed, loud and Bhrlll, once,
twice, a third tlmo, before Malblhn could
eap across the tent and throttle her alnrm
Ing cries with hla brute fingers. Then she
fought him, as any Jungle she-thing might
fight, with tooth nnd na.ll.
The man found her no easy prey. In
that slender young body,' beneath Jhe
rounded curves and the fine, soft skin, lay
tho muscles of a young llonoss.
But Malblhn was no weakling. His char
acter nnd appearance were brutal, nor did
they bello his brawn.. Ho was of giant
stature and of giant strongth. Slowly ho
forced the girl back upon the ground, strik
ing her In the face when sho hurt him
badly either with teeth or nails. Merlem
struck back, but sho was growing weaker
from the choking fingers nt her throat
Out In the Jungle Jenssen hnd brought
down two buckB. His hunting had not car
ried him far afield, nor was ho prone to
permit It to do bo. Ho was suspicious of
Malblhn. Tho very fact that his companion
hnd refused to accompany him and elected
Instead to hunt nlonc In another direction
would not, under ordinary circumstances,
havo seemed fraught with sinister sugges
tion; but Jeussen knew Malblhn well, and
so, having secured meat, ho turned Imme
diately back toward camp, whllo his boys
brought in his kill.
He had covered about half the return
Journey when a scream came faintly to his
cars from the direction of enmp. Ho hnltcd
to listen. It was repeated twice. Then
silence.
Willi a muttered curse Jenssen broke Into
n rapid run. He wondered If he would be
too late. What a fool Malblhn was, Indeed,
thus to chance Jeopardizing .a fortune!
Further away from camp than Jenssen.
nnd upon the opposite side, another heard
Merlem's screams a stranger, who was
not even aware of tho proximity of whlto
men other than himself a hunter with a
handful of sleek, black warriors.
He, too, listened intently for a moment.
That the voice was that of a woman In
distress he could not doubt, and so he also
hastened at a run In the direction of the
affrighted volco; but ho was much further
away than Jenesen, so that tho latter reach
ed the tent first
What the Swede found there roused no
pity within his calloused heart, only anger
against his fellow scoundrel. Merlem was
still fighting off her attacker. Malblhn Btlll
was showering blows upon her.
"" Jenssen, streaming foul cursos upon his,
erstwhile friend, burst Into tho tent. Mal
blhn, Interrupted, dropped his victim and
turned to meet Jensson's Infuriated charge.
He whipped a rovolver from his hip.
Jenssen, anticipating the lightning move of
the other's hand, drew almost simultane
ously, and both men fired at once.
Jenssen was still moving toward Mal
blhn at the time, but at the flash of the
explosion ho stopped. His revolver dropped
from nerveless fingers. For a moment he
staggered drunkeniy. Deliberately Malblhn
put two more bullets Into his friend s body
at close range.
Even in the midst of the excitement and
her terror Merlem found herself wondering
nt the tenacity of life which tho hit man
displayed. His eyes were closed, his head
dropped forward upon his breast, his hands
hung limply before him, Yet still he stood
there upon his, feet, though he reeled hor
ribly. It was not until the third bullet had
found Its mark within his body that he
lunged forward upon his face. Then Mal
blhn approached him, and with an oath
kicked him viciously. Then ho returned
once more to Merlem.
Again he seized her, and at the same
Instant the flaps of the tent opened silently
and a tall whlto man stood In the aperture.
Neither Merlem or Malblhn saw the new
comer. The Intter's back wns toward htm,
while his body hid the stranger from Mer
lem's eyes.
He crossed the tent quickly, stepping
over Jenssen's body. The first Intimation
Malblhn had that he was not to carry out
his design without further Interruption was
a heavy hand upon his shoulder.
