TIIHi Hon, Morison Baynen would never
be considered ft degenerate.
Ho was Bitting one evening with Merlem
upon the vernnda one evening after the
others hud retired. Earlier they had been
playing tennis a rfama In which the Hon.
Morison shone to advantage, as, In truth,
iio did In most all mnnly sports. Ho pas
telling her stories pf Iondon and Paris, of
balls and banquets, of tho wonderful wo
men nnd their wonderful gowns, of the
pleasures and paBtlmcs of the rich nnd pow
erful. The Hon. Morison was a. past mister In
tho art pf Insidious boasting. His egotism
was never flagrant or llrenomo he was
never crude In It, for orudeness was a
plcbelanlsm that tha Hon. Morison studious
ly avoided: yet the Impression derived by
n listener to the Hon, Morison was "one
that was not at all calculated to detract
from tha glory of tho house of Baynes, or
from that of Its representative here present,
Merlem was entranced. Ills talos were
Ilka fairy stories to this llttlo Jungle maid.
The Hon. Morison loomed large and won
derful and magnificent In her' mind's eye.
He fasclnatod her, and when ho drew closer
to her after a short ollonco and took her
hand, she thrilled as ono might thrill be
neath tho touch of a deity a thrill of ox-nltatlon-not
unmixed with fear.
Ho bent his lips closo to, her ear.
"Merlem I" ho whispered. "My llttlo
Mortem I May I hope to have tho right to
call you 'my llttlo Merlem' 7"
The girl turned wide eyes upward to hla
face ; but It was In shadow. Sho trembled,
but she did not draw away. Tha man put
en arm about hor nnd drew her closer.
"I love ydut" ho whispered.
Sho did not reply. She did not know
what to say. Sho know nothing of lovo.
Sho had never given It a thought; but sho
did know that It was very1 nice to be loved,
whatcvei It moant. It was nice to havo
peoplo kind to one. She had known so llttlo
of kindness or affection.
"Toll me," ho said, "that you return my
love."
His lips camo steadily closer to hers.
They had almost touched when- n vision
of Korak sprang llko n miracle Before het
eyes. She saw Korak's faco close'to hors,
eho felt his lips hot against her HpB. and
thon for the first time she guessed lwhat
love meant
Sho drew away, gently.
"I am not sure," sho snld, "that I love
you. Let us wait. Thero Is plenty of time.
I am too young to marry yet, and I am not
Bure that I should bo happy In London or
Paris they rathor frighten me."
How easily and naturally she had con
nected his avowal of love with the Idea of
marriage 1 Tho Hon. Morison was perfectly
euro that ho had not mcntlonod marriage
ho had been particularly careful not to
do so.
And then, she was not sure that she
loved him I That, too, camo rathor In the
nature of a shock to his vanity. It seemed
Incredlblo that this little barbarian should
havo nny doubt whatovcr ns to tho desir
ability of, tho Hon. Morison Baynes.
The flrs,t flush of passion cooled, tho Hon.
Morison was enabled to reason more logical
ly. Tho start had been nil wrong. It
would be better now to wait and prepare
her mind gradually for the only proposition
which his exalted estate would permit him
to offer her. He would go slow.
Ho glanced down at the girl's profile. It
was bathed In the silvery light of tho great
tropic moon. Tho Hon. Morison Baynes
wondered If it were to be so easy a matter
to "go slow." Sho was most alluring.
Merlem roso. The vision of Korak 'was
still before hor.
"Good nlght'iBho said. "It Is almost, too
.beautiful to leaS?." She waved her hand
In a comprehensive gesture which took In
the starry heavens, the great moon, the
broad, silvered plain and tho dense shad
ows In the dlstnnco that marked tho Jungle.
"Oh, how I lovo It I"
"You would love London more," ho said
earnestly. "And London would love you
You would bo a famous beauty In arty
capital of EUrope. You woUld havo tho
world nt your feet, Merlem "
"Good night I" she repeated, and left him.
Tho Hon. Morison selected a cigarette
from his crested case, lighted It, blew n
thin line of blue smoke toward tho moon
and smiled.
CHAPTER !XIX
A Night Itldc
MERIEM and Bwana were sitting on tho
veranda together the following day,
when a horseman appeared In the distance
riding ncros.i tho plain toward the bun
galow. Bwana shaded his eyes with his hand
nnd gazed out toward the oncoming rider.
Ho was puzzled. Strangors were few In
Central Africa. Kvon the blacks for a dla
tanco of many miles In every direction
wero well known to him. No white man
came within a hundred miles that word of
his coming did not reach Bwana long be
fore tho stranger. His every move was
reported to tho big Bwaha JUBt what ani
mals he kilted, nnd how many of each
species ; how he killed them, too, for Bwana
would not permit tho Use of prusslc acid
or strychnlno; and how he treated his
"boys."
Several European sportsmon had beon
turned back to tho coast by the big Eng
lishman's orders because of unwarranted
cruelty to their black followers, and ono,
whose name had long beon heralded In
civilized communities as that of a great
sportsman, was driven from Africa with
ordors never to return when Bwnna found
that his bag of 14 lions had been made
by the diligent uso of poisoned bait.
Tho result was that all good sportsmen
and all the natives loved and respected
him. His word was law whero thero had
never been law before. Thero was scarco
n hendman from coast to coast who would
not hoed the big Bwana'a commands In
preference to those of the hunters who em
ployed them, nnd so It was easy to turn
back any undcslrablo Btranger Bwana had
simply to threaton to order his boys to
desert him.
But hero was evidently ono who had
slipped Into tho country unheralded.
Bwana could not Imaglno who the ap
proaching horseman might be.
After tho mnnnor of frontier hospitality
the globe round, ho met tho newcomer at
the gate, welcoming him oven before ho
had dismounted. He saw n tall, well-knit
man of 30 or more, blonde or hair, and
smooth shaven. Thore was a tantalizing
familiarity about him thnt convinced
Bwana that ho should bo ablo to call tho
visitor by name, yet ho was unable to do
so.
The. newcomer was evidently of Scan
dinavian origin both his appearance and
accent denoted that. His mannor was
rough, but open. Ho mndo n good Impres
sion upon tho Englishman, who was wont
to accept strangers In thli wild and savage
country at their own valuation, asking no
questions and assuming tho best of them
until they proved themselves undeserving
of his friendship and hospitality.
"It Is rathor unusual' that a whlto man
comes unheralded." he said, ns they walked
together toward the field 'into which he had
suggested that tho traveler might turn his
pony. "My friends, tho natives, keep us
rather well posted."
"It Is probably due to tho fact that I
came from tho south," explained tho
stranger, "that ypu did not hear of my
coming. I have seen ho Village for several
marches."
"No, there are none to the south of us
for many miles," replied Bwana. "8lnce
!ovudoo deserted his country I rather
duubt that ono could find n native In that
d ractlon tinder two or three hundred
nlles."
Bwnna was wondering how a lono white
man could havo made Ms wny through
tho savage, unhospltable mllei that lay to
ward the south. As though guessing what
must bo passing through the other's mind,
tho stranger Vouchsafed an explanation.
"I came down from tho north to do a
llttlo trading nnd hunting." ho said, "and
got way off tho beaten track. My head
man, who was tho only member of the
safari who had ever before been In the
country, took sick nnd died. We could find
no natives to guide Us, nnd so I simply
swung back straight north. We havo beon
living on the fruits of our guns for over
a month.
''Didn't have an Iden thoro was a whlto
man within a thourand miles of us when
wo camped last night by a wnterholc nt
tho edge of the plain This morning t
started uut to hunt nnd saw the smoke from
your chlmnoy, so I sent my gun bearer
back to camp with tho good news and rodo
straight over here myself. Of course, I've
heard of you everybody who comes Into
Central Africa does and I'd bo mighty
glnd of permission to rest up nnd hunt
around hero for n couple of weekd."
"Certainly," replied Bwana, "Move your
camp up closo to tho river below my boys'
amp nnd mako yourself at homo."
Thoy had reachod tho veranda now, nnd
Uwana was Introducing tho stronger to
Merlem and My Dear, who had Just como
'-om tho bungalow's Interior.
ThlB Is Mr, Hanson," he said, using tha
name the man had given him. "He Is a
trader who has lost his way In the Jungle to
tho Bouth."
My Dear nnd Merlem bowed their
acknowledgments of the Introduction,
Tho man seemed rather 111 nt easo In thcli
presence. His host attributed this to tha
fact that his guest was unnccustomed to
the society of cultured women, nnd bo found
a pretext to extrtcnto him quickly from
his seemingly unpleasant position and
lead him away to hla study and the brandy-and-soda
which wore evidently much less
embarrassing to Mr. Hanson
When tho two had left them, Merlem
turned toward My Dear.
"It Is odd," she said; "but I could al
most sweai that I had known Mr. Hauson
In tho past, It Is odd, but qulto Impossible,"
nnd sho gave the matter no fuithor
thought.
Hanson did not accept Bwana's Invita
tion to move his camp closer to the bunga
low. Ho said his boys were lncllnod to
bo quarrelsomo, and so woro better oft at
a distance; and he himself was around
but little, and then always avoided coming
Into Contact with tho ladles. A fact which
naturally aroused only laughing comment
on the rough trader's bashfulness.
Ho accompanied tho men on several
hunting trips, where they found him per
fectly at home and well vorsod In all tho
finer points of big gamo hunting. Of an
evening he often spent much time with tho
whlto foreman of the big farm, evidently
finding in the society of this rougher man
more common Interests than the cultured
guests of Bwana possessed for him.
So It camo that his was n familiar figure
about the premises by night. He camo
and went as he saw fit, often wandorlng
alone In tho great flower garden that was
tho especial pride and Joy of My Dear and
Merlem. The first time that ho hnd been
surprised there ho apologized gruffly, ex
plaining that he had always been fond of
the good old blooms of northern Europe
which My. Dear had so successfully trans
planted In African soil.
Was It, though, tho over-beauttful blos

WHAT ARE YOU GOJNG TO DO?
Dear Everybody Vacation time will soon bo hero and WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
May I suggest you try to do something which will bo of help to you in
nftei, hfe? Our boys are going to be tho business men and professional men of
thr;.&ture and our girls aro going to be the wives and MOTHERS.
J hope our boys try to do something useful during tho long days that are
to come. I hope they will try to earn a little money, so that they may begin
their business careers early.
Please, my dear boys, when you try to get a position, a situation or a plain,
ordinary JOB, don't tell the man you aro willing to do ANYTHING.
When a man hires you he wants you to do ono thing and do it well, and
whatever that thing may be it is something he can't do himself, as he ha3
not the time. Like our great merchants, even tho little grocer on the corner
doesn't want to hire mny ono to "help him, but he HAS TO because he can mako
more money by getting help than ho can by running errands himself.
Get all these things into your head before the summer days come. Make
up your mind what you want to do. It is just twice as hard to get a thing when
you don't know what you want as it is to get the thing you know you want.
Make up your mind what you want to do" and then go after it and it will drift
to you as surely as the needle points toward the north.
' And as for you girla, you are all going to marry millionaires or princes
MAYBE and live in mansions or palaces, as the case may be, BUT you can't

said a lonely little girl one day aa she was
standing by a corner.
Just then a, little girl was walking by and

she foupd a name card on which she saw
written, "Maria Hoffman."
"J guess I will not give this money to her,
for she Is very rich," aald little Alce. Deep

was saying, "Take It back, take It back."

The next day Alice took the money back.
She was greatly rewarded for her honesty.
She was given n very rich home and a

MR. AND MnS. SHIRTSLEEVE
By FARMER SMITH. '
"Sly goodness gracious 1" Bald Mrs. Hop
Toad to her husband one night, ns she
seated herself by the evening lamp and
tucked up her sewing. "I never In all, my
days have seen anything like the way that
boy Willie Is Improving."
"I guess he must have been having one
of those dream partleB," said her husband,
looking at her over hla glasses.
"Yes," said Mrs. Hop Toad, "that little
rascal has gotten so that ho treats every
thing as If It were alive. Ho thinks hlB'
right trouser leg is Mr. Pantleg and his
left leg Mrs. Pantnleg, and he hangs his
little trousers up every night so they won't
get wrinkles In them."
While his father and mother were talk
ing downstairs, Willie was sweetly dream
ing about Mr. and Sirs. Shirtsleeve. '
"Sly, my, I am smothering." said a shrill
little ioce from under the bedclothes.
"Won't somebody come and help me? That
boy Willie has put me under the bedclothes
and I am dripping with perspiration."
"You give me a pain," Bald the Window.
"You are always fussing and stewing about
something."
"Never mind," said Mrs. Shirtsleeve,
"We need air. and maybe some time that
boy Willie will know It."
"How about me?" asked the Undershirt.
"He has put me here under you. Why
doesn't he pull me out? If you are hurt,
what about me?" i
Just'then Willie woke up, and It seemed
to him that something was pulling and
pulling at his feet. He went down to the
foot of the bed, and there were his Shirt
and Undershirt.
He got out of bed as fast as he could
and hung each one up where It could air.
And, when he Jumped back In bed, ho
thought to himself, "I never knew before
that clothes had feelings."

who bad wandered often among the blooms
beneath tho great moon tho black-haired,
sun-tanned Merlem?
For three weeks Hnnson had remained.
During this time ho said that his boys
woro resting nnd gaining stiength after
their tcrrlblo ordeals In the untracked
Jungles to the south ; but ho had not been
as Idle ns ho appeared to !iao beon. Ho
divided his small following Into two par
ties, Intrusting the leadership of etch to
men whom ho believed that he could trust.
To them he explained his plan and the
rich reward that thoy yould win from
him If thoy carried his designs to tt suc
cessful conclusion.
Ond party he moved very slowly north
ward along the trail that connects with tho
great cirain routes entering the Sahara
from tho south, Tho other he ordered
straight westward with orders to halt and
go Into permanent camp Just beyond the
great river which marks tho natural boun
dary of the country that tho big Bwana
rightfully considers almost his own,
To his host ho explained that he wns
moving his safari slowly toward tho north
ho said nothing of tho party moving west
ward. Then, one day, 'ho announced that
half his boys had deserted, for a hunting
party from tho bungalow had como across
his northerly camp and he feared that they
might have noticed tho reduced numbers
of his following
And thus matters stood when ono hot
night Merlem, unable to sleep, roso and
wandered out Into tho garden Tho Hon.
Slorlaon had been urging his suit onco
moro that evening, nnd tho glrl'B mind was
In such n turmoil that sho had been unablo
to sleep.
Tho wide heavens above her seemed to
promlso a greater freedom from doubt and
quostlonlng. Baynes had urged her to tell
him that she loved him A dozen times
sho thought that she might honestly give
him tho answer that he demanded.
Korak was fast becoming but a memory.
That ho was dead Bho had come to believe ;
since otherwise ho would havo sought her
out. She did not know that ho hnd een
hotter reason to bcllovo her dead, and that
it was because of that belief ho had made
no effort to find her aftor his raid upon the
village of Kuvudoo.
Behind n great llowcrlng shrub Hanson
lay gazing nt tho stars and waiting. Ho
had lain thus nnd thero many nights be
fore. For what was ho waiting, or for
whom? Ho heard the girl approaching, and
half raised himself to his olbow. A dozen
paces away, tho reins looped over a fence
post, stood his pony.
Slerlom, walking slowly,, approached the
buih behind which tho waiter lay. Hanson
drow n largo bandana handkerchief from
his pocket and rose stealthily to his knees.
A pony neighed down at tho corrals Far
out across tho plain a Hop roared. Hanson
changed his position until he squatted upon
both feet.
Again tho pony neighed this time closer.
There was the sound of his body brushing
against tho shrubbery. Hanson heard, and
wondered how tho animal had gotten from
tho corral: for It was evident that he was
already in the garden. The man turned
his bond ln the direction of the beast.
What ho saw sent him to tho ground,
huddled close beneath the shrubbery a
man was coming, leading two ponies.
Slerlcm heard now, and stopped to look
and listen. A moment later tho Hon. Slorl
Bon Baynes drew near, tho two saddled
mounts at his heels.
Merlem looked up at him In surprise.
Tho Hon. Slorlson grinned sheepishly.
"I couldn't sleep," ho explained, "and was
going for a bit of n ride when I chanced
to see you out here, and I thought you'd llko
to Join me. Ripping good sport, you know,
night riding. Come on."
Slerlcm laughed. The adventure appealed
to her. "All right," sho said.
Hanson swore beneath his breath. The
two led their horses from the garden to the
gate and through It There they discovered,
Hanson's mount.
'(Why, here's the trader's pony," remark
ed Baynes.
"He's probably down visiting with the
foreman," said Merlem.
"Pretty late for him. Isn't It?" remarked
the Hon. Slorlson. "I'd hate to have to ride
back through that Jungle at night to hla
camp."
As though to give weight to his appro,
henslons tho distant Hon roared again. The
Hon. Slorlson shivered and glanced nt tho
girl to note the effect of the uncanny sound
upon her. She appeared not to have no
ticed It.
A moment later the two had mounted
nnd wero moving slowly across the moon
bathed plain. The girl turned her pony's
head straight toward the Jungle, It was In
the direction of the roaring of the hungry
lion.
"Hadn't we better steer clear of that fel
low?" suggested the Hon Morison. "I
guesa you didn't hear htm."
"Yea, I heard him," laughed Merlem.
"Let's ride over and call on him."
The Hon. Slorlson laughed uneasily. He
didn't care to appear at a disadvantage
before this girl, nor did he care, either, to
approach a hungry Hon too closely at night.
He carried his rifle In his saddle boot; but
moonlight Is an uncertain light to shoot by.
nor ever had he faced a Hon alone even
by day. Tho thought gave him a distinct
nausea.
The beast ceased his roaring now. They
heard him no more, and the Hon. Morison
gained courage accordingly.
They were riding down wind toward the
Jungle. The Hon lay In a little swale to
their right. Ha was old. For two nlghta
h tinH nnt ffA for no loncer was his charge
'ns swift or his spring as mighty as In the
days of his prime, wnen no Bpreaa terror

been only at tremendous cost In human
lives. Tho commercialized cynic, the free
booter of civilization, requires war to rid
the world of his rule. And Americans of
1776 made the world's first real effective
fight for economic liberty.
There had been wars before plenty of
them wars for religious dogmas, wars of
kings with kings, wars of nobles with
kings, but never a war fought on the Issue
that when a man la ruled by a government
he has the right to say what that govern
ment shnll do. "Taxation without repre
sentation" was in Its time n. most startling
Innovation as a political slogan. It meant
that anv Individual counted more than his
government, and, to think of It, that must
havo Bounded outrageous, dangerous nnd
anarchistic to King George and his con
servatlsts for they were the government.
All this Is .Inspired by a long analytical
look at tho uniforms worn by tho Revolu
tionary heroes. Tho uniforms are on view
at tho exposition, and are somo of the fea
tures of the exhibit of the Quartermaster's
Department of the United States War De
partment. Today tho romanticists run to
the theatre or the "movie" which advertises
a sex drama; but Eleanor Olyn, Laura
Jean Llbbey, George Barr SIcCutcheon,
Robert Chambers and the other neurotics
of literature never had so wealthy a Held
for romance as la to be found In the birth
nnd emancipation of a new race.
DISTORTIONS OF HOSIANCE.
Frizzle-headed females and putty-brained
males gaze with eyea and mouth wide open
and thrills running up and down their
spines at a portrayal of alleged soul-seek-Ings,
and the commercialized cynic of the
pen waxes rich In royalties by catering to
this nervous disorder. It isn't romance by
a long shot: Just plain, common, ordinary,
everyday superficial "mush" that calls for
peace, any old sort of peace, so that the
"mushing" won't be disturbed.
But look at that Pilgrim father of 16201
He "mushed" all right enough remember
Prlscllla and John Alden but he was also
ready, even eager, to fight and die for his
country the hazy realm of hopes and
Ideals. He had too much self-respect to
submit to Injustice, so ho founded a new
nation dedicated to the principle that later
was expressed us "taxation without repre
sentation Is tyranny,"
And the Revolutionary soldier did more
than die for his country j he starved for It,
shivered at Valley Forge for It, took the
smallpox for tt. Romance? Where Is there
anything more thrilling or melodramatlo?
In American history are to be found all the
elements of the drama the "low-brow"
drama, with. Its blood and thunder, and the
"high-brow" drama as well, with Us psy.
etiological excursions, character studies and
everything else that the "highly Intellec
tual" refer to as assentlal.
If the Pilgrim Father hadn't been true
to the Ideal of mental liberty. If the Revo
lutionary patriot hadn't been true to the
Ideal of economlo liberty, there would have
been no American democracy, no Philadel
phia Today 'and Tomorrow Civic Exhibit.
What nation other than America could
produce such exhibits and In such a fash-
Ion, with suffragists nnd nnttsuffrngiBt, pre
paredness agitators nnd pacifists, Jew and
Ciontlle, Roman Catholic nnd Protestant,
given equal opportunity to present their
claims? America means equal opportunity
nnd that Is all, but It also Is enough ; no
other nation has ever brought It forth; no
other nation can bring It forth becauso It
hasn't tho machinery ; nnd the machinery
must bo guarded. Such Is the lesson In
preparedness given unwittingly perhaps by
tho Philadelphia Today nnd Tomorrow Ex
hibit. Today Is Stonemen's Day at tho ex
position. A call for 100.000 peoplo to at
tend has gono out. Tonight the leader of
the Stoncmen will speak from tho band
stand. The motion picture film. "The Co-operative
School. Luncheon System," will again
be shown Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

NEW YORK, June 2,-Declftrtng tha
"new womanhood Is coming Into flfa ifo
America" nnd that n nation In which IW
wien -y-n united mav nevef fear Intern!
alrlfe, Mre. Percy V, Pennybaikef, retirinf
ptesldetit of the General Federation of
Women'd Clubs, today outlined the 'WotK
of tho organization under her administration
In the following specials
Tha work of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs might be summed up, In
short, ns a united effort on the part of
women of many creeds and nationalities;
to Inspire a higher type of cltlaenshlp, a
better public spirit and a moro alert social
consciousness.
To accomplish this end the General
Federation strives to assist and co-operato
with agencies already existing In an effort
to build up rather than teaf down 0Uf
present social structure,
It Is, therefore, a great constructive force
(0 achieve good rnther than a destructive
forco to destroy evil, and this IS trui re
gardless of tho fact that there have been
many clvlo nnd ethical movements which
have received their first Impulse from Ihe
Federation.
The federation works through the homo
nnd the family to an extent which no otlxtst
organization has ever attained. Publlo
opinion Is changed or made anew by those
bands of women, who, aroused to thought
and nctlon nt meeting of club or federa
tlon, bring to the family circle a full) free
nnd u'ntrnmmelcd discussion of the vlrte.1
problems, which arouses In husband, son
nnd daughter a new line of thought, which.
In turn, spreads to lnrger social groups,
men's clubs, church gatherings nnd, all
places were contact la established with
others. A new Interest Is kindled and a
now community spirit Is born.
Tho greatest valuo of tho biennial con
ventlon lies ln the fact that It draws to
gether women from tho North, West, South
and East, enabling them to understand each
other and to respect the opinions, traditions
and motives of each other.
A nation In which Its women are United
need never tenr Internal strife. Enlightened
homes are tho bulwarks of the people. A
now womnnhood Is coming Into llfo In
America, and at Its baptism the Goncrnl
Federation stands sponsor.
To thoso who read the federation 'move
ment aright It Is a great avenue for serv
ice; It 1b an Increase of beauty and cleanli
ness; It is better housing conditions; It Is
better recreational facllltcs for tho young;
It Is more safe and sure protection for
tho dependent, tho defective and tho de
llnquent.
