CHAPTER XV Conlinuca
HE wheeled, to fnca an utter stranger a
tali, black-haired, gray-syed stranger,
clad In khaki and Dtth helmet Malblhn
reached far his sun again, but another hand
had been quicker than his, ahd he daw the
weapon tossed to the ground at the side of
the tent out of reach.
"What Is the meaning of this?" The
stranger addressed his question to Merlem
jn a tongue she did not understand. She
shook her head and spoke In Arabic. In
stantly the man changed his question to
that language,
t "These men are taking me away from
" Korak." panted the girl. "This one would
have harmed me. The other, whom he has
jut killed, tried to Btop him. They were
'; ooth very bad men! but this one Is the
worse. If my Korak were here he would
kill him. I suppose you are llko them, so
you will not kilt him."
The Btrangor smiled. "He deserves kill
ing," ho said. "There Is no doubt of that.
Once I should'havo killed him j but not how,
I will see, though, that he does not bother
you any more."
He was holding Malblhn In a grasp tho
giant Swede could not break, though he
struggled to do so ! And ho was holding him
as easily as Mnlbllin mtgh't have held a lit
tle child, yet Malblhn was a huge man,
mightily thewed. The Swede began to rage
and curse. He struck at his .captor, only
to bo twisted about and held at arms'
length, Then he Bhoutod to his boys to
come and kill the stranger.
In response a, dozen strange blacks en
tered the tent. They, too, wero powerful,
clean-limbed mon, not at all llko the mangy
crew that followed the Swedes.
"Wo have had onoigh foolishness," said
the stranger to Malblhn. "You deserve
death, but lim not the law. I know now
Vwho you are, I havo heard of you before.
You and your friend bear a most unsavory
reputation. We do not want you In our
country. I shall let you go this time: but
should ou over return" I shall take tho
law Into my own hands. You understand?"
Malblhn blustered and threatened, fin
ishing by applying a most uncomplimentary
name to his, captqr. For this ho received
a shaking that rattled his teeth. Those
who know say that tho most painful pun
ishment that can be Inflicted upon an ndult
male, short of Injuring him. Is a good old
fashioned shaking. Malblhn rcccUed such
a shaking.
"Now get out," said the stranger, "and
nert time you sco mo remember who I am,"
and he opoko a namo In the Swede's ear
a namo that more effectually subdued tho
scoundrel than many beatings. Then he
gave him a push that carried him bodily
.through the tont doorway, to sprawl upon
the turf beyond.
"Sow," ho Bald.nurnlng toward Mortem,
"who ha3 the koy to this thing about your
neck?" I
The girl pointed to Jcnssen's body. "He
carried It always," she said.
Tho stranger searched tho clothing on
the corpse until ho camo upon tho key. A
moment more Merlem was free.
"Will you let me go back to my Korak?"
he asked.
'l will Boa that you are returned to your
people," the stranger replied. "Who are
they, and whero Is their village?"
IJe had been oylng her strange, barbaric
garmenture 'wonderlngly. From her speech
she was evidently an Arab girl; but ho
i had nevor before Been one thus clothed.
"Who are your people? Who la Korak?"
he asked again.
"Korak 1 Why, Korak Is an ape. I have
no other people Korak and I live In tho
jungle alone Blnco A'ht went to -be king
of the apes," She had always thus pro
nounced Akut's name, for so It had sounded
to her when first she came with Korak and

cioseiy.
"So Korak Is an ape?'
wniu, pray, are you?"
!!I.m M'rt'm- I, also, am an ape."
"M-m," ws the stranger's only oral com
ment Upon this startling announcement!
I'i .. no thought might have been par
tially interpreted through tho pitying light
that entered hjs eyes. He approached the
girl and started to lay his hand upon her
forehead. She drew back with a navage
little growl. A smile touched his llpa.
You need not fear me," he said. "I
shall not harm you. I only wish to dis
cover If you havo fever If you are entire
ly well. If you are, we will set forth In
search of Korak."
Merlem looked straight Into the keen.
gay eyes. She must have found there an
unquestionable assurance of the honorable
ness of their owner, for she permitted him
to lay his patm upon her forehead and feel
her pulse. Apparently she had no fover.
'How long have youbeen an ape?" asked
the man.
"Since I was a little girl, many, many
years ago, and Korak came and took me
from my father who was beating me. Since
then I have lived in tho trees with Korak
and A'ht."
"Whero In the jungle lives Korak?" asked
the stranger.
Merlem pointed with a sweep of her hand
that took in, generously, half tho continent
of Africa.
t-ouid you find your way back to him?'
i uo not know," she replied; "but I
win nnu nis way to me."
'Then I have a plan," said the stranger.
"I lle but a few marches from here. I
shall take you home, where my wife will
look after you and care for you until v,-e
can find Korak, or Korak finds us. If he
could find you here, he can find vmi at
my village. Is It not bo?"
Merlem thought that It was so; but she
did not llko tho Idea of not starting Imme
diately back to meet Korak. On the other
hand, the man had no Intention of permit
ting this poor, Insane child to wander fur
ther nmld tho dangers of tho Jungle.
Whence sho had come, or what she had un
dergone, ho could not guess ; but that hor
Korak and their life among the apes was
hut a figment of a disordered mind he could
not doubt.
Ho knew tho Junglo well, and ho knew
that men had lled alono and naked nmong
tho sax ages beasts for cars; but a frail
and slender girl I So, It was not posslblo.
Together they wont outsldo Malblhn's
boys were striking camp In preparation for
a hasty departure. Tho stranger's blacks
wero conversing with them. Malblhn stood
at a distance angry nnd glowering.
The Btrnngcr approached one of his own
mon.
"Find out whero they got this girl," he
commanded.
Tho negro thus nddressed questioned ono
of Malblhn's followors. Presently ho re
turned to his master.
"Thoy bought her from old Kovudoo," ho
said. "That li all that this fellow will toll
inc. Ho pretends that ho knows nothing
more, nnd I think that he does not. Theso
two whtto men wero very bad men. They
did many things that their boys knew'not
the meanings of It would bo well, .Bwana,
to kill tho other."
"I wish that I might; but a now law Is
como Into this part of the Jungle It It
not as It was in tho old days, Muvlrl," re
plied tho master.
Tho stranger remained until Malblhn and
his safari h.id disappeared Into tho Junglo
toward tho north. Merlem, trustful now,
stood at his side, Ooeka clutched In ono
slim, brown hand
They talked together, the man wonder
ing at tho faltering Arabic of the girl,, but
attributing It finally to her defective men
tality. Could ho have known that geara had
elapsed since she had used It until she
was taken by the Swedes, ho would not have
wondered that she had half forgotten it.
There was yet another reason why the
language of the Bhelk had thus readily
eluded her! but of that reason she herself
could not havo guessed tho truth any belter
than could the man.
He tried to persuade her to return with
him to his "vllage," as ho called It, or
"douar" In, Arabic; btit she was Insistent
upon searching immediately for Korak. As
a last resort he determined to take her
with him by force rather than sacrifice
her life to the insane hallucination which
haunted her! but, being a wise man, he
determined to humor her first, nnd then
attempt to lead her as he would have
her go.
So, when they took up their march It was
In the direction of the south, though his
own ranch lay almost due east
By degrees he turned tho direction of
their way more and more eastward, and
greatly was he pleased to note that tho
girl failed to discover that any change.was
being made.
Little by little sho became moro trusting.
At first she "had had but her Intuition to
guldo hor bellelt that this big Tarmanganl
meant her no harm, but as the days passed
and she Baw that his kindness nnd con
sideration never faltered, she camo to com
pare mm with her Korak, and to be very
fond of him; but never did her loyalty to
ner apeman nag.
On the fifth day they camo suddenly upon
a great plain, and from the edge of tho
forest tho girl saw In the distance fenced
fields and many buildings. At the sight
she drow back In, astonishment.
"Where are we?" she asked pointing.
"We could not find Korak," replied the
man, "and as our way led near my douar,
I have brought you hero to wait and rest
with my wlfo until my mon can find your
apo. or ho finds you. It Is bettor thus,
llttlo one. You will be safer with Us, and
you will bo hnppier."
"I am afraid, Bwana," said tho girl. "In
thy douar they will beat mo as did tho
sheik, my father. I,et me go back Into
tho Jungle. There Korak will find mo. Ho
would not .think to look for mo In tho douar
6f a white man."
"No ono horo will beat you, chird,'lroplled
tho man. "I have not done so. havo I?
Well, hero all belong to me. They will
treat you woll. Hero no ono Is beaten.
My wlfo will be very good to you, and at
last Kornk will como, for I shall send men
to senrch for him."
The girl shook her head "They could
not bring him, for ho would kill them, as
II men hao tried to kill him. I am
afraid. Let me go, Bwnnal"
"You do no know tho way to your own
country. You would bo lost. Tho leopards
or the lions jvoulcf' get you tho first night,
and nftor ail you would not find your
Korak. It Is better that you Btay with
us. Did I not save you from tho bad man?
Do you not owe me something for that?
Well, then ; remain with us for n few
weeks nt least until we can determine what
is best for you. You me only a little
girl it would bo wicked to permit you to
go alone Into the Junglo."
Merlem laughed. "The Jungle," Bho said,
"Is my father nnd my mother. It has been
kinder to me than have men. I nm not
afraid of tho Jungle Nor am I afraid of
tho leopard or tho Hon. When my timo
comes I Bhall die. It may be that a
leopard or n Hon shall kill me, or It may
bo a tiny bug no bigger than the end of
my littlest finger
"So, I do not foar tho junglo. I loo It.
I should rather die than leave it forever;
but your douar is close beside tho junglo.
You have ben good to mo. I will do ns
you wish, nnd remain here for a whllo to
wait the coming of my Korak."
"Good!" said tho innn, and he led tho
way down toward tho flower-covered
bungalow behind which lay the barns nnd
outhouses of a well-ordered African farm.

FARMER SMITHS
RAINBOW CLUB
A BOY AND HIS BICYCLE
Dear Children One of the boys in our wonderful club had saved tho
sum of sixty-ono cents and wanted to got two dollars. Wo suggested to him
that instead of WANTING THE TWO DOLLARS, he try MAKE THE TWO
DOLLARS WANT HIM.
Tho last time wo heard from our little friend ho had one dollar and thirty
nine cents. Ho likes tho new plan.
Now a member comes along who wants a bicycle and we advised him to
think of tho whole matter in this light: He says ho wants a bicycle. Why
Dot try to picture the bicycle as WANTING HIM. There in tho store is the
wheel. In the afternoon the sun shines upon it and makes it awful hot The
bicycle is doing no ono any good standing there, and, besides, it is likely to get
rusty. Wouldn't tho wheel rather be buzzing around in the country these
beautiful days? Would it not rather bo of use to Bomo one?
When wo told this idea to our friend he thought it was a splendid schemee,
and so now, instead of wanting bicycle, he fancies the wheel WANTS HIM.
We shall be glad to tell you when our boy friend gets his bicyclo, for wo
know he is going to get it. In the first place, it will take him out into the green
fields where he can get some fresh air and it will not coat any moro than $25
Worth of foolishness which some boys, not members of our club, "fritter" away.
If YOU want something very much look up the word DESIRE and re
member that we must have a reason for our wants boforo we ask for the things
we desire.

THE BABY BABOON AND
THE COCOANUT CAKE
By Farmer Smith f
"DIPP1"
The Baby Baboon Jumped.
"BANG!"
Tho Baby Baboon got up and looked
around. Two cocoanuts had come down
dangerously near his head. Suddenly he
saw Jimmy Monkey in the top of th
bamboo treo holding a newspaper In one
hand and throwing cocoanuts with the
other.
"HEY, stop that!" the Baby Baboon
shouted at Jimmy m loud that the fellow
In the tree almost fell out.
Jimmy scampered down to the ground,
and, rushing up to the Baby Baboon, said:
"Look, look! Here Is a picture of n great
big cannon shooting over' a hill and I was
throwing cocoanuts Just like the cannon
was shooting cannon balls It's great
fun."
"That's all right." answered the Baby
Baboon, "but It Isn't funny If you hit me
with a cocoanut."
"That's part of war getting lilt,"1 said
Jimmy. "Let's play again, and you bo the
one to stop tho cannon balls somebody
must atop them. You can be the enemy."
"I don't want to be tho enemy." The
Baby was very Arm.
"Well, you MUST be the enemy, and
that makes It all the 'more exciting, be
cause If you don't want to be the enemy I
will MAKE you be the enemy."
"Then you hit me with the cannon balls
I mean the cocoanuts?"
"Of course you're the ensinV," answered
Jimmy,
"All right; that will be grand: but before
you start any of that enemy business I
wanted to tell you that mother had made
a beautiful cocoanut cake, and I think I
could stand being hit wth cannon balls
much better If I had a piece of that cake,"
And with that the Baby Baboon started for
home.
"I guess you are right," said Jimmy, aa
he followed him.
When Jimmy say the cocoanut cake ha
forgot all about war and cannon balls. Now
wasn't that funny?

Moriem saw tnat tno woman waa,peau
tlful. Sho saw that swootness nnd goodness
wero stamped Indelibly upon her counte
nance. She no longor feared her; nnd
when hor brief story had been narrated,
and tho woman camo and put her arms
about her and kissed her, and called her
"poor little darling," something snapped In
Slerlcm's heart.
She burled hor faco on tho bosom of
this now frlond, In whose volco was tho
mother-tone that Merlem had not heard
for so many years that she had forgotten
Its very existence. She burled her faco
on the kindly bosom and wept ns sho had
not wept before In' nil her life tears of
relief nnd Joy that sho could not fathom.
'And so camo Merlem, tho savago little
Mnnganl, out of her beloved Junglo Into
the midst of a home of culturo nnd refine
ment. Already "Bwana," and "my Dear,"
as she first heard them called and continued
to call them, wore as father and mother to
her.
Onco her savago fears wero allayed, she
went to tho opposite extreme of trustfulness
and loo. Savr she was willing to wait
horo until thoy found Ktfrnk, or Korak
found her. Sho did not give up that thought
Korak, hor Korak always was first.
CHAPTER XVI
Korak'a Vengeance
ND out In the Jungle, far away,
Korak, covered with wounds, stiff with
clotted blood, burojng with rage nnd
sorrow, swung back upon the troll of the
great baboons. He did not find them
whore he had last seen them, nor In any
of their usual haunts: but ho sought them
along tho well-marked spoor they had left
behind thorn, and at last he overtook them.
When first ho came upon them they wore
moving slowly but steadily southward in
ono of those period lo migrations, tho rea
sons for which the baboon himself Is best
able to explain. At sight ot the white
warrior, who camo upon them from down
the wind, the herd halted In response to the
warning cry of the sentinels that had dis
covered him.
Thero was much growling rtnd muttering;
much stlff-leggod circling on tho part of
tho bulls Tho mothers, in nervous, high
pitched tones, called their young to their
sides, and with them moved to safety be
hind their lords and masters.
Korak called aloud to tho king, who, at
the familiar voice, advanced slowly, warily
and still stiff-legged. He must have the
confirmatory evidence of hla nosa before
venturing to rely too Implicitly upon the
testimony of his ears and eyos.
Korak kept perfectly still. To have ad
vauced then might have precipitated an
Immediate attack, or, as easily, a panic of
flight. Wild beasts are creatures of nerves.
It la a relatively simple thing to throw
them into a species oi nysiena wnicn may
Induce e ther a mania ror muruer or symp
toms of apparent abject cowardice It Is
a ouestlon. however. If a wild animal over
is actually a coward.
The king baboon approached Korak. He
walked around him In nn ever-decreasing
circle growling, gruntmg, smmng. iiorait
anbko to him.
"I am Korak," ho said. I opened the
cage that held you, I saved you from the
Tarmanganl, I am Korak, tha Killer. I
am your friend."
"Huh," grunted the king, "Yes, you are
Korak. My ears told me that you were
Korak. My eyes told mo that you were
Korak. Now my nose tells mo that you
alp Korak, My nose Is never wrong. I am
your friend. Come, wo shall hunt to-gether,"

ROLLING CHAIRS BUSY !
ATLANTIC CITY, MAy 39. The first
big summer holiday crowd thoroughly en
Joyed a perfect day hero yesterday. Tho
afternoon trains on Saturday were all
crowded and tho Sunday morning trains
wero run In sections. There was a big In
crenso In the number of Now York lsltors,
nnd most of theso aro booked for lengthy
stays. Rolling chairs wero In demand, and
nt noon and during the afternoon promen
ndlng hours thero was much congestion.
There was plenty of room In tho surf
for thoso who wanted to be numbered
among tho "flrst-ln" bathers, but ns tho
tempcraturo of tho water was not quite up
to the comfort point, thoso who did ven
ture m aid not linger long, and tho haste
with which they spod to the bathhouses
nuer ineir dip kept many others from Join
ing In tho sport. A school of porpoises have
been hanging around the coast for tho last
two days, and as thoy have been lolling
on tho wnter. Instead of diving and swim
ming, men who understand their habits
claim that tho Gulf stream Is flowing close
to tho coast, nnd that In a very few days
tho tempcraturo of tho water will bo high
enough to make bathing pleasant.
Thero wns tho usual fashion display by
the fair set, but the males seemed to think
that a straw hat was a sufficient nddltlon
to plain dark clothing to give them a sum
mery appearance. Two did venturo out In
Palm Beach suits, but they quickly dis
appeared when thoy noticed they were con
spicuous In theso lightweight costumes.
White flannel pantaloons, with white can
vas shoes, wero nlso noticed on a few men,
but as a whole tho crowd wns dressed In
clothing usual for this time of tho year.
Freakish pots aro beginning to put In
their nppenranco every day now. Cats,
which rldo with their mistresses In i oiling
chairs, are not attracting much more at
tention innn pet dogs. An odd pot that
attracted much attention yesterday wns
