CHAPTER XVII
A Lton and a Lamb
TO MERIEM, In her hew home, the
days paused quickly. At first sne was
Alt atfxiety to bft off Into tho Jungle, Beaten.
pg for her Korak.
I)wanat as she Insisted upon calllnfr her
benefactor, dissuaded her from making
the. attempt at onco by dispatching a head
man with a party of blncks to Kovudoo's
vlllnge, with Instrudtlons to learn from the
old savage how ho came Into possession of
the whlto girl and ns much of her ante
cedents aa might be culled from tt m.-i.
yv chieftain. Bwana particularly charged the
neaumau hh me uuiy 01 questioning Ko
vudoo relative to the strange character
whom tho girl called Korak, and of search
ing for the apeman If he found tho Plight"
est evidence upon which to ground a belief
In tho existence of such nn Individual.
Bwana was convinced that Korak was
l creature of the girl's disordered Imagl.
n'atlon. He believed that the terrors nnd
hardships she hnd undergone during cap.
tlvlty among the blacks nnd her frightful
experience with tho two Swedes had unbal
anced her mind: but ns the days pasted,
and he becamo hotter acquainted with her
anu nuio 10 oDRorvo nor under tho ordinary
conditions of the quiet of his African home,
he was forced to admit that her strange
tale puzzled him not a little; for thero was
no other ovldenco whatever that Merlem
was not In full possession of her normal
faculties.
Tho white man's wife, whom Merlem hnd
christened "My Dear," from having first
heard her thus addressed by Ilwnna, took
riot only a deep Interest In tho llttlo Junglo
waif becauso of her forlorn and friendless
.tnte, but grow (to lovo her as well for her
sunny disposition and natural charm of
temperamont And Merlem, similarly Im
pressed by llko attributes In the gentle,
'cultured woman, reciprocated tho other's
regard arid affection.
And so tho days flow by while Merlem
waited the return of the headman and
his party fiom tho country of Kovudoo.
They were short days, for Into them was
crowded many hours of Insidious lnotruc
tlon of tho unlettered child by tho lonely
woman.
She commenced at onco to teach tho
'girl English, without forcing it upon her
as a task. She varied tho Instruction with
lessons' In sewing and deportment, nor once
did sh? let Merlem guess that It was not
all play. Nor was this dlfllcult, since the
girl was avid to learn.
Then thero were pretty dresses to be
maer to take tho place of tho Blnglo
leopard skin, 'and In this she found tho
child as responsive and enthusiastic as any
civilized miss of her acquaintance.
A nfonth. passed before the headman re.
turned a month that had transformed tho
savage little half-naked Manganl Into a
daintily frocked girl 'of nt least outward
civilization. Merlem had progressed "rap
Idly with the Intricacies of tho English
language, for Bwana and My Dear per
sistently refused to speak Arabic from the
timo they had decided that Merlem must
leurn English, which had been a day or
two after her Introduction Into their home.
But docllo as Merlem was in theso mat
ters, there was one thing that she Insisted
on during her entire stay with the kind
white folk; nnd that was her personal free
dom to make excursions into the Jungle,
attired very much as she had been when
with Korak, wheneer she chose. Bwnna
and My Dear got used. In time, to finding
her room empty and to have her turn up
hours later, Hushed nnd radiant after a
wild romp through tho trees and Jungle.
SON OF TARZAN
'
I.- P. . of her cobble hands remained
exceedingly eenlceable; nor did her grace
and agility suffer,
rTJ7 r.'p.ort of thft halman plunged
Si ilem . . pr,od ot despondency, for
he had found the village of Kovudoo de
serted; nor, search as he would, could he
tiJEZ" lnK' nve anywhere In the
- c - Vt r S0m9 t,mo he ha camped
near the village, spending the dayB In a
systematic search of the environs for traces
of Merlem a Korak; but In this quest, too,
had ho failed. He had seen neither apes
nor apeman.
Merlem at first Insisted upon setting forth
herself In search of Korak! but Bwana
provalled upon her to wait. He would go,
lie assured her, as soon as he could find
the tlmo! nnd nf Innt At.!..,. ...,-.
.abide by his wishes. But It was months
oerore she ceased to mourn almost hourly
for her Korak.
My Dear grieved with tho grieving girl
and did her best to comfort and cheer her.
She told her that If Korak lived he would
And her ! but alt the time she believed that
Korak had never existed beyond the child's
dreams."
Sho planned amusements to distract Mer
lem's attention from her sorrow and she
Instituted a welt-designed campaign to Im
press upon tho child the desirability of civ
ilized life and customs. Nor was this dif
ficult, as she was soon to learn i for It rap
Idly became evident that beneath the un
couth savagery of the girl was a bedrock
01 innato refinement a nicety of taste and
predilection that qulto equaled that of her
Instructor.
My Dear was delighted Sho was lonely
nnd childless, and so aho lavished upon
this llttlo stranger all tho mother-lovo that
would have gone to her own had she had
ono. Tho result was that by the end of
the first year none might have guessed that
Merlem ever had existed beyond the Inn
of culturo and luxury that Is, unless they
had chanced to see her ranging tho Jungle.
Sho was 16 now, though she might easily
havo passed for IS ; and sho waa very good
to loolc upon, with her black hair and her
tanned skin, and all tho freshness and
purity of health and Innocence.
Yet sho still nursed her sccrot sorrow,
though sho no longer mentioned It to My
Doar. Scarco nn hour passed that did not
bring Its recollection of Korak and Its
poignant yearning to see him again.
Merlem spoko English fluently now nnd
read nnd wrpto It ns welt. To French sho
took llko a duck to water, and My Dear
often marveled that fiho learned this lan
guago with a facility that wns at times
almost uncanny, During tho first lessons
Merlem hadi puckered her narrow, nrched
llttlo eyebrows as though trying to forco
recollection of something all but forgot
ten which tho new words suggested ; nnd
then, to her own nstonlshment ns well as
to that of her teacher, she had used other
French words than lho30 In tho lessons
used them properly nnd with a pronuncia
tion that the English woman knew was
mora porfect than her own.
"You doubtless heard French spoken at
times In your father's douar," suggested
My Dear as the most reasonable explana
tion. Merlem shook her head.
"It may bo," sho said, "but I do not re
call ever having seen n Frenchman in my
father's company ho hated them and
would have nothing whatever to do with
them, and I am qulto sure that I never
heard any of theso words before ; yet at
the samo tlmo I find them all familiar. I
cannot understand it,"
"Xolther can I," agreed My Dear.
It was about this time that a runner
brought n letter that, when she learned tho
contents, filled Merlem with excitement.
Visitors were coming! A number of Eng
lish ladles and gentlemen had accepted My
Thus It wna that, desptto tho civilized Dear's Invitation to spend u month of hunt
shoes she wore and the confining feminine ' lng and 'exploring with them,
Merlem was all expectancy. What would
these strangers bo like? Would they be ns
nice to her ns had Bwana and My Dear, or
would they bo like tho other whlto folk
sho had known cruel nnd relentless? My
Dehr assured her that they all were gentle
folk, and that she would find them kind,
considerate and honorable.
To My Dear's surprise there vm nono of
tho shyness of tho wild creature In Mer
lem'a anticipation of tho visit of strangers.
Sho looked forward to their coming with
curiosity nnd with a certain pleasurable
anticipation when onco she was assured
that they would not blto her. In fact, she
appeared no different than would nny pret
ty young mtaa who had learned of the ex
pected coming of company.
Kornk'a Imago waa still often In her
thoughts, but It nrouaed now a less well
defined sense ot bereavement. A quiet sad
ness pervaded Merlem when she thought
of him, but the poignant grief of her loss
when It was young no longer goaded her
to desperation.
Yet sho was s.ltl loyn. to him. Sho still
hoped that some day he would find her, nor
did sho doubt for a moment but that he
was searching for her If he stilt lived.
It was this last suggestion that caused
her the greatest perturbation. Korak might
be dead. It hardly seemed possible that
ono so well equipped to meot the emer
gencies of Junglo llfo should havo succumbed
so young, yet when she had last seen him
he had been beset by a horde of armed
warriors; and should ho have returned to
tho village again, as she welt knew he must
nave, no may have been killed.
Even her Korak could not singto-handod
slay an entire tribe.
At last the visitors nrrlved. There wero
three men nnd two women. Tho youngest
member of tho party was Hon. Morlson
Baynes, u young man of considerable
wealth who, having exhausted all tho pos
sibilities for pleasure offered by tho capi
tals of Europe, had gladly seised upon this
opportunity to turn to another continent
for excitement and adventure.
He looked upon all things non-European
as rather more or less lmposslblo; still he
-vaa not at all nverso to enjoying the nov
elty of unaccustomod places, nnd making
the most of strangers Indigenous thereto,
however unspeakablo they might havo
Bocmcd to him at home. In manner ho was
Buavo and courteous to all If possible a
trlflo more punctilious toward those ho con
sidered ot meaner clay than toward tho few
ho mentally admitted to equality,
Nature had favored him with a nnlendld
physlquo nnd a handsomo face, nnd also
with sufficient good Judgment to appreciate
that, while he might enjoy tho contempla
tion of his superiority to tho masses, there
was llttlo likelihood of tho masses being
equally entranced by tho samo cause. And
so ho easily maintained tho reputation of
Deing a most aemocratic nna likable follow,
and Indeed ho waa likable. Just a shado
of his egotism was occasionally apparent
never sufllclont to becomo a burden to his
associates.
And this, briefly, was the Hon. Morlson
Baynes of luxurious Europenn clvlllatlon.
What would bo tho Hon. Morlson Baynes
of Central Africa It were difficult to guess.
Merlem at first was shy and reserved
In tho prcsonco of tho strangers. Her ben
efactors had seen fit to Ignore mention of
her strange past, and so she passed as
their ward whoso antecedents not having
been mentioned wero not to bo Inquired
into. The guests found her sweet and un
assuming, laughing, vivacious nnd a never
exhausted storehouse of quaint and Inter
esting Jungle lore.
She had ridden much during her year
with Bwana nnd My Dear. She knew each
favorite clump of concealing reeds along tho
river that tho buffalo loved best She knew
a dozen places where lions laired, and every
drinking hole In the drier country 25 miles
back from tho river With unerring preci
sion that was almost Uncanny sho could

CONSIDER THE TURTLE
Dear Children Do you know that the greatest men in the world always
havo some "hobby" or other to amuse them?
I was talking the other day with a Doctor who has a beautiful aquarium
which is inhabited "by one goldfish, a little turtle and a pollywog or tadpole.
' Tho good Doctor has a little boy who is a member of our wonderful Rain
bow, Club. His father wanted to know if you could tell him what a tadpole is,
and I told Tiim that Iknew you could.
Then he asked mo why it was that hi3 little turtle was always climbing
the tree in the little aquarium. I told him I didn't know, but that I thought
a turtle was the same as a walrus or bullfrog and could live on both land and sea.
4 The Doctor explained to me very carefully that those animals which havo
Opines qr backbones arc different from those which do not have them.
t r I iavp watched a great many turtles, but I do not know as yet why it is
- that they aro always bo fond of climbing up on logs and getting where they can
. (fee all that is going on,
Oh, yes! I forgot to tell you that the Doctor's little boy is watching every
day to see if the little tadpole has any legs. .
Just as Boon as I can find time I am going to get an aquarium of my own,
bo I can have a beautiful timo like tho Doctor.
Gold fish cost 5 cents, tadpoles 5 cents and turtles 25 cents. Maybe I can
get a turtle in a department store and shall watch for a bargain in turtles, 23
cents, marked down from 25 cents.

JIMMY MONKEY'S APPETITE
By Farmer Smith
Jimmy Monkey was sitting in the bamboo
tree looking all around him when who
should come along but his friend. Mister
Elephant
"I perceive a speck on the end of your
tiny tall," said Jimmy to Mister Elephant
"What does 'perceive' mean?" asked Mis
ter Elephant
"Is it possible that a large, huge being
like you doesn't know what 'perceive' means?
Why, it means to see.' Now, I say, I per
ceive a speck on the end of your tall. What
do I mean?" Jimmy squinted down at
Mister Elephant.
"It means you don't know what you are
talking about, for there Is no speck on the
end of my tall," said Mister Elephant as he
looked straight at Jimmy with hla beady
eyes.
"How do you know there Is no speck on
your tall?" asked Jimmy.
"Because It Is my tall," replied the big
fellow. "I know all there Is to know about
my tall, and I tell you that no speck
would DARE get on MY tall without my
.knowing it besides, you are very hungry,''
'What's that got to do with, it?" asked
Jimmy, filled with curiosity,
"There, I told you so!"
"Told me what?"
"I told you y-o-u YOU that YOU are
hungry and you are getting hungrier every
minute and In about an hour you will
starve to death," said Mister Elephant
"Did you ever starve to death?" asked
Jimmy of the big fellow,
"Y-e-e-s, but only once. I came near
starving to death twice, but look at youl I
Bay, Jimmy Monkey, you are starving to
death. Run home as fast as you can and
annease your appetite."
"What kind of peaBer' asked Jimmy.
"Appease. Why, you are getting thinner
every minute. I can see right through you,
my dear boy,"
"Well," began Jimmy, "if you can Bee
right through me, you can see that I ate a
cocoanut about Ave minutes before you
came and my appetite Is working on that.
Co and scare somebody your own size.
SCAT!"
And Mister Elephant DID SCATI
track the largest or the smaltest beast to
his hiding place.
But tha thing that baffled them all was
her Instant consciousness of the presence of
carnlvora that others, exerting their facul
ties to tho Utmost, could neither see nor
hear.
The Hon. Morlson Baynes found Mertem
a most benutiful nnd charming companion.
He was delighted with her from the first
Particularly so, It Is possible, becauso he
had not thought to find companionship ot
thla sort upon tho African estate of his Lon
don friends. They were together a great
deal, as they wore tho only unmarried pair
In tho llttlo company,
Merlem, entirely unaccustomed to tho
companionship of such ns Baynes, wns fas
cinated by him. 1114 tales of tho great, gay
cities with which ho was familiar filled her
with admiration and with wonder, If the
Hon. Morlson always shono to ndvnntago In
these narratives, Merlem saw In that fact
but a natural consequence to hli presence
upon tho scene ot his story whereer Morl
son might be, ho must be a hero. So thought
tho girl.
With tho nctiinl nreftonnA And comnnn-
lonshlp of tho young Englishman tho Image
of Korak becamo less real. Where beforo
It had been nn actuatlty to her, she now
realized that Korak wbb but a memory. To
that memory sho still was loyal; but what
weight hns a memory In tho presence of a
fascinating reality?
Merlem hnd never accompanied the men
upon n hunt since tho arrival of tho guestB
She never had cared particularly for tho
sport of killing. The tracking Bhe enjoyed:
but tho mero killing for tho sake of killing
sho could not find pleasure In little snv
ago aho had been, and still to somo measure
was.
When Bwana hnd gono forth to shoot for
meat sho had always been hla cnthustastlo
companion, but with the coming of the Lon
don guests the hunting had deteriorated
Into mere killing. Slaughter tho host would
not permit; yet the purpoRO of tho hunts
wero for heads and skins, and not for food
So Merlem remained behind nnd spent
her days cither with My Dear upon tho
shaded veranda or riding her favorite pony
across tho plains or to the forest edge. Hero
sho would leave him untethcred white sho
discarded non-essentials and took to tho
trees for the unalloyed pleasures of a return
to tho wild, free existence of her earlier
childhood.
Then would como again visions of Korak,
nnd, tired at last of leaping and swinging
through the trees, she would stretch herself
comfortably upon a branch and dream.
And presently, as today, sho found tho
features of Korak slowly dissolving nnd
merging Into thoso of another; and tho fig
ure of n tanned, half-naked Tarmangnnl
becomes a khaki-clothed nnd sturdy Eng
lishman astride a hunting pony.
And while she dreamed there came to her
ears from a dlstnnco, faintly, the terrified
bleating of a kid. Merlem wns Instantly
nlert You or I, even had wo been able
to hear tho pitiful wall at so great a dis
tance, could not have Interpreted It; but to
Meriem It meant a species of terror that nf
fllcts tho ruminant when a carnlvoro Is nenr
and escape impossible.
It hnd been both a pleasure nnd n sport of
Korak's to rob Numa of his prey whenever
possible, and Merlem, too, had often Joyed
In tho thrill of snatching Bomo dainty mor
sel almost from the cry Jaws of tho king
ot beasts.
Now, at the sound of tho kid's bleat all
tho -well-remembered thrills recurred. In
stantly Bhe wns nil excitement to play again
tho game of hlde-and-seck with death.
Already sho had dlscardccj her riding
skirt It was a heavy handicap to success
ful travel In tho trees. Her shoes and
stockings had followed tho skirt, for tho
baro sole ot the human foot does not slip
upon dry or even wet bark as does tho
hard leather of a shoe.
She would havo liked to discard her rid
ing breeches aa well, but a year of moth
erly admonitions on the part of My Dear
had almost convinced Merlem that It was
not good, form to go naked through tho
world.
At her hip hung a hunting knlfo. Her
rifle was still In Its boot at her pony's
withers. Her revolver sho had not brought
The kid was .still bleating as Merlem
started ranidlv' In its direction, which aha
knew was straight toward a certain water
holo which had once been famous ns a ren
dezvous for lions. Of late thero had been
no evidences of carnlvora In tho neighbor
hood of this drinking place : but Meriem
was Dosltlvo that the bleating of the kid
was- due to tho presence of either a Hon or
n panther.
But she would soon know, for she was
rapidly approaching the terrified animal.
She wondered as she hastened onward that
the sounds continued to come from the same
point. Why did tho kid not run away?
And then sho camo In sight of the little
animal, and knew. The kid was tethered
to a stnke beside the water holo I
Merlem paused In tho branches of a near
by tree and scanned the surrounding clear
ing with quick, penetrating eyes. Where was
the hunter? Bwnna and his people did not
hunt thUB. Who could have tethered this
poor llttlo beast as a lure to Numa? Bwana
nevor countenanced such acts In his coun
try, and his word was law among those who
hunted within a radius of many miles of hla
estate.
Some wandering savages, doubtless,
thought Merlem; but whore were they? Not
even her Keen eyes coum uiscover mem.
And where waa Numa? Why had he not
long since sprung upon this delicious and
defenseless morsel? That he was close by
was attested by the pitiful crying of the kid
Ah! Now she saw him. He was lying
close In a clump of brush a few yards to
her right. The kid was down wind from
him and getting tho full benefit of hla ter
rorizing scent which did not reach Merlem,
To circle to the opposite side of the
clearing where the traes approached closer
to the kid, to leap quickly to the llttlo ani
mal's side and cut the tether that held him
would be the work of but a moment. In
that moment Numa might charge, and then
thero would be scarce time to regain the
safety of the trees: yet It might be done.
Merlem had escaped from closer quarters
than that many times neiore.
The doubt that gave her momentary
pause was caused by fear of the unseen
hunters more than by fear of Numa. If
they were stranger blacks, the spears that
they held In readiness for Numa might aa
readily be loosed upon whoever dared re
lease their bait as upon the prey they
sought to trap.
Again the kid struggled to bo free. Again
his plteonus wall touched the tender heart
strings of the girl. Tossing discretion aside,
Bhe commenced to circle the clearing. Only
from Numa did she attempt to conceal her
presence.

DOGS, TO WIN PRIZES,
MUST KEEP IN TRAINING
Mrs. Bertha Sinkler, Owner of
Many Champions', Gives Treat
ment Formula
Tho physical training of a Jess Wlllnrd
has nothing on tho caro of a championship
dog. Exercise, diet and sleep aro Just as
Important for His Dogshlp as It Is for tho
fighter and the proper restriction of ench
of these In looked after with a 'fidelity and
fixity of purpose that would do Justice to
Monaghan himself. Any ono who thinks
that raising champion dogs 1 an easy task
should read somo of the hlnta as to their
enre glen by Mra Bertha Sinkler. Sho Is
tho woman who for tho last fifteen years
has probably supplied moro fancy toy poo
dles first winners nnd champions for Fhil
ndclphla big shows than nny other
breeder.
"Tho first thing a dog needs In tho morn
ing Is exerelso," says Mrs. Sinkler "This
may bo taken Indoors If tho weather Is bad,
but really should bo a brisk walk on a
loash. And let mo tell dog owners now
mat tno dog that runs without a leash, no
matter how docllo ho seems, Is going to run
once too often somo day. I havo exercised
hundreds of dogs, but never, absolutely
never, without a leash.
"After the dally walk comes breakfast
This should be a bit of boiled rice, milk
toast, or dog biscuit. If they llko It After
breakfast they should Ho down for a couple
of hours.
"They will be perfectly willing to do this.
When they get restless they should bo
allowed to run In tho yard. Don't glvo them
a mcnl In tho middle of tho day; a light
supper at night Is enough for them. An
overfed dog is a Blck dog."
Of Course, it Isn't every one who knows
a champion, but thero aro unmistakable
points about a toy poodle, for Instance, that
determlno Its pedigree on Bight A Btocky
figure, Bhort legs, long cars, silky coat
and black or "liver" nose mnrlc tho well
bred toy poodlo. These aro the points that
make for winners in nny show. To get
them, according to Mrs. Sinkler, It Is best to
oroeu irom peaigreea stock.
"Any ono can ralso pedigreed dogs If ho
Is willing to take scrupulous care of their
bodies, teeth, ears, coats and diet But
this means work. Tho cars have to be
washed out with boraclo ncld and tho teeth
rubhed off with a soft cloth. And those
who wish to be dog fanciers should buy
their breeders from good stock, for blood
will tell Just as surely in dogdom as In
other ways. Seventy-five up to $200 is the
price for n good dog, but pupplles sell from
$25 to $50 apiece, bo tho original Investment
la quickly repaid.
"I have had over 300 ribbons winners,
special winners, seconds but never a

In hundreds of shows. He hai been tho

"Ono moro word about dogs," Mrs. Sink
ler said, "and that Is most Important
Never bo cruel to them. Pedigreed, Inbred
dogs aro extremely sensitive," declared their
mistress, as nhc coddled a dimlnutlvo
fluffy puppy which reposed with half closed
eyes on her capacious lap. "They should
be treated Just llko bablea They aro very
affectionate commend mo to poodles for
real lovo, they nro much moro devoted
than bulldogs I hnvo never sold a puppy
from my kennels to n person that would
bo cruel to it, nor to a homo where there
aro children If I know It, nor did I ever
send ono out of the city. It wouldn't be
worth a hundred dollars to mo to see ono
of theso dogs nbused. Money doesn't mean
thnt much," sho declared emphatically.
And ono look at tho drowsy, contented
puppy on her lap convinced tho hearer
that Bertha Sinkler, fancier, told the truth.

SCHEME NO. 58
By Your Editor
Isn't this perfectly grand? The other
day I asked' some of our dear firemen If
they would like soma magazines and they
were de-llghted.
Then I thought I would be selfish If I did
not tell you about this way of being kind to
the dear firemen, and so I am going to ask
you to ask your father and mother to get
all your old magailnes, and you can take
them to the nearest ftrehouse and tell the
firemen that you are from FARMER
SMITH'S RAINBOW CLUB, and be sure
to wear your pin.
Why don't you think of some beautiful
things? I don't want to be a plgrle-wlg.
wig with my beautiful Ideas.
