Hantbn paueed, Both men were allent
for a time. Presently the trader coughed
In an embkrrassed manner as though there

"What Is It, Hnnon7" naked Dnnnh
You wire about to eay something, weron't

"Well, you soo. It's llko this," ventured
Hanson, "Beln" around here evenings a

don't think Mr, Baynes means the girl any
good. I've overheard enough to mako Me

Hsnson, to (It his own ends, hit nearer
the truth than ha knew, He was afraid
that Baynes would Interfere with his own
plane, and he had hit upon a scheme both
to utillte the young englishman and get rid
er him at the enmo time.
"And! thought," continued tho trader,
"that Inasmuch as I'm about duo to mov.
you might like to suggest to Mr. Baynes
that he go with me. I'd be wlllln' to take
Mm north to tho caraan trails as a favor
to you, sir." ,
Bwftnn. stood In deep thought for a mo
ment Presently he looked up.
"Of course, Hanson, Mr. Baynes Is my
, guest," he said, a grim twinkle in his eye.
"Really J. cannot accuse him of planning to
run amy with Merlem on the ovldenco that
we hftv. and as ho la my truest I should
hate to be so discourteous as to aik him to
leave,. Cut If I recall his words correctly. It
seemi to me that he has spoken of roturn

delight him moro than going north with you
you say you start tomorrow? I think Mr.
Baynes will accompany you.
1'Drop over In the morning, If you nlease:
and now good 'night, and thank you for
keeping a watchful eye on Mcrlem,"
Hanson hid a grin as he turned and
sought hie saddle. Bwana stepped from the
Veranda to his study, whore he found tho
Hon. MorUon pacing back and forth, evi
dently very' HI at case.
"Baynes," said Bwana, coming directly
to the! point, "Hanson Is leaving for the
north tomorrow. Ho has taken a great
fanoy to you, and Just atked mo to any to
you that he'd bo glad to have you accom
pany him. Good night. BaynesI"
At uwana-s suggestion Menem kept to
her room the following morning until aftor
SON OF TARZAti
the Hon. Morlson Baynes had departed.
Hanson had come for him early In fact,
he had remained all night with tho fore
man, Jervls, that they might get an early
start
The farewell exchanges between the
Hon, Morlson and his host wero of tho
most formal type, and When at Mast tho
guest rode Mvny Bwana breathed a sigh
of relief. It had been an unpleasant duty,
and he waa Rlad that It was bvor; but he
did not regret his action. He had not been
blihd 'to aaynes" infatuation tor Merlem,
ahd, knowing the yuung man's pride lh
caste, he had never for a moment believed
that his auest would offer his name to this
namplcss Arnb girl, for, extremely light
In color though she Was for & full-blooded
Arab, Bwana believed her to be such.
He did not mention the subject again to
Mcrlem, and In this he made a mistake) for
tho young girl, while realising th debt of
gratitude she owed Ilwnlta and My Dear,
was both proud ahd sensitive, bo that
Bwana's action In sending Baynes away
and giving her no opportunity to explain
or actenu nurt ana mortinca her. Also, It
did much toward making a martyr of
Baynes In her ey3 and nrouslng In her
breast a keen feeling of loyally toward
him.
What she had half mistaken for love
before, she now mistook wholly, Uwana
nnd My Dear might have told her much of
tho social barriers that they knew only too
well Baynes must feet existed between
Merlem and himself, but they hesitated to
wound her.
It would have been better had they In
flicted this lesser sorrow and naved tho
child the misery that was to follow be
cause of her Ignorance.
As Hanson and Baynes rode toward the
formor'B camp tho Ungllshmali mnlntalhed
a morose silence. The other wan attempt
ing to formulate nn opening that would
lead naturally to the proposition ho had
In mind. He rodo a neck behind his com
panion, grinning as ho noted tho BUllen
scowl upon the othor patrician's face.
"Bather rough on you, wasn't ho?" ho
enturcd at last, Jerking his' head back
In tho direction of tho bungalow ns Baynes
Lturncd his eyes upon him at tho remark.
"He thlnkB a lot of tho girl," continued
Hanson, "and don't want nobody to marry
her and take her nway; but It looks to me
as though ho was doln' her more harm than
crnod In sflnclln' vnti itwftv. Klin mlffht In
kmarry somo time, and sho couldn't do bet
ter than a flno young gentleman llko you."
Baynes, who at Drat felt Inclined to take
offense at the mention of tits prlvato affairs
by this common fellow, was mollified by
Hanson's final remark, and Immediately
commenced to see In him a man of ills-
Incrimination.
Hon. Morlson; "but I'll get oven with him.
He may be the wholo thing In Central
Africa, but I'm as big as he 1b In London,
and ho'U find It out when he comes home."
"If I was you," snitt Hanson, "I wouldn't
let any man keep rne from gettln' tho girl
I want. Between you and mo I ain't got
no uso for him, either; and If I can help
you any, why, Just call on me."
"It's mighty good of you, Hanson," re
plied Baynes, warming up a bit; "but what
can a fellow do here In this God-forsaken
hole?"
"I know what I'd do," said Hanson. "I'd
tako the girl along with mo. If sho loves
you sho'll go, all right."
"It can't be done," said Baynes. "He
bosses this wholo blooming country for
miles nround. He'd bo suro to catch us."
"No, ho wouldn't; not with mo running
thingo," Bald Hanson. "I've been trading
and hunting hero for 10 yenrs, and I know
as much about the country as he does. If
you want to take tho girl along I'll help

"But suppose eh won'f oom?" auggested
Baynes.

way. She'll have to como and after It'g all
Over she won't feel &o bad about It pe
dally after llvln with you for two months
while we're makln' the coast,"
A shocked and angry protest rose to
Baynes' lips; but he did not utter It, far
almoat tlmultaheouely tamo tho realisation
that thla waa virtually the tame thing he
had been planning upon himself. It had
sounded brutal and erlmlnnl from the llpa
Of tho rough trader; but, nevertheless, tho
young Englishman saw that with Han
son's help and his knowledge of African
travel tho possibilities of success would be
much greater than If the Hon. Morlson were
to attempt the thing single-handed.
flo he nodded oT'jMum assent.
The remainder of tho long ride to Han
son's northern oamp was made In silence, for
both men were occupied with their own
thoughts, most of which were far from be
ing either complimentary or loyal to the
other.
As they rodo through tho wood the
sounds of their careless passage came to
the ears of another Jungle wayfarer. The
Kilter had determined to como haak to the
place where he had seen the whlto girl who
took to tho trees with the agility of long
habitude. There waa n compelling some
thing In tho recollection of her that drew
him Irresistibly toward her. He wished to
soe her by the light of day, to see her fea
tures, to eoe the oolor or her eyes and
hair.
It seemed to him that she must boar a
strong resemblance to his lost Merlem, and
yet he knew that the chances were that
she did not
The fleeting glimpse that ho had had of
her In tho moonlight as sho awung from
tho back of her plunging pony Into the
branches of the tree above her had shown
him a girl of about the same height as his
Merlem, but of i moro rounded and de
veloped femininity.
Now ho was moving leisurely back In
the direction of the spot Where ho had seen
tho girl when tho Bounds of tho approach
ing horsemen came to his sharp oars. He
moved stealthily through tho branches until
he camo within sight of the riders.
Tho younger man ho Instantly recognized
ns the same ho had Boon with his arms
about tho girl In the moonlit glade Just
tho instant before Numa charged. The
other ho did not recognize, though there
wau a familiarity about hlB carriage and
ftguro that puzzled Korak.
Tho apeman decided that to find tho
girl again he would have only to keep In
touch with the young Englishman, and so
ho fell In behind tho pair, following them
to Hanson's camp. Here tho Hon. MoriBOn
penned a brief note, which Hanson gave
Into tho keeping of one of his boys, who
stattod off forthwith with It toward tho
South.
Korak remnlned In tho vicinity of the
camp, keeping n careful watch upon the
Englishman. He had half expected to find
the girl at tho destination of the two riders,
and had been disappointed whon no sign of
her materialized about tho camp.
Baynes was restless, pacing back and
forth beneath tho trees when ho should
have been rostlng against tho forced
marches of the comlnfe flight HanBon lny

RAINBOW CLUB
WHY I DO NOT SMOKE
Dear Children It always pain? mo nnd griovos mo very much to receive
uch beautiful pictures of myself smoking corncob pipes or cigars.
One thing I have tried NOT to do is to adviso you, Most of tha things
which I do which sound to you like advising nro nothing moro or loss. than
suggestions.
Younust remember that you nro free and that you arb an individual, and
that If you choose to stick pins in yourself, take poison, smoke cigarettes,
Havana cigars or a corncob pipe, that is your business, provided you are old
enough to comply with the laws of the State.
.While not a lowyor myself, I have learned this much, that the first law of
the land is, you can do anything you please so long as you dd not intcrforo
with tho rights of another; .
The reason Llo not smoke is because I cannot afford it. I know that if
I Jhould smoke people would say, "Why, the Editor of tho Rainbow Club
smokes, so it must be all right."
' I know that if I do not smoke I am on tho safo Bide, becauso no ono' has
ever found fault with me becauso I clo not smoke.
Furthermore, I have always been a great admirer of P. T. Bnrnum, who
caVed himself "the children's friend." I always wrotojifter my name, "the
chiHrn's friend," even before I knew Mr. Barnum had used it after his namo.
Mr. Bsmum waB very much opposed to smoking.
So please do ma. this favor, when you draw pictures of me, kindly omit
corncob pipes, cigarettes and cigars.
The Farmer Smith's Rainbow Club was never started for the purpose of
reforming anybody or anything, but simply to bo helpful, for we pass through
tue om pneo, and if there is any kipdness that wo can do let us do it now while
it is day, even before, it is too late.

DOBBIN AND THE EARTHWORM
By Farmer Smith
It was a spring morning and Dobbin
sniffed tho soft air of tho meadow as he
grazed leisurely beside the flowing brook.
Just as he started to eat grass once more
ho heard a ltttte voloo hostde him, saying,
"Do be careful, Pobbln, or you will step
on me." '
Turning his wonderful eyes In tho direc
tion of the volco, Dobbin saw the Earth
worm looking up at him.
"It would not make much difference If
I did step on you," said Dobbin. "You are
of no earthly Uso In thts world, and the
sooner you run back Ihto your ltttlu hole
the better,"
"I cannot run," said tho Earthworm.
"You are judging other people by your
self. Horses rpn, trot, pace, gallop, canter
but worms only crawl."
"You think you are smart," said Dobbin.
"No, I don't," said the Earthworm gen
tly, "but I have lots of time to think down
In the earth whero my mind is not con
fused by a lot of people putting harnesses
on me and hitting mo with whips and yell
ing, 'Whoa I Whoa 1" at me."
"Haven't you nnybody to boss you
around?" asked Dobbin.
"No, not exactly," replied tho Earth
worm. "But I always have to be careful
to see that I do not get In the way of some
great big rooster or some hungry hen.
it seems to me as if all Ufa was made up
of dodging something,"
"Nothing bothers me," said Dobbin, with
a awlsh of his tall.
"Indeed I" said the Earthworm. "What
was the Idea of moving your tall that
way?"
"Oh, that was nothing," replied Dobbin.
"I was merely swishing a fly out of my
way, But tell me, what good are you In
the world?"
"Why," said the earthworm, "I make
the soil rich by boring holes through It
and keeping It from getting Into a solid
crust. The soil Is then enriched by the
air, the rain, the snow and the hall."
"That Is very wonderful," said Dobbin,
"because it It were not for the rich soil I
would not have the green grass,"
"Yes, you may learn even from an Earth,
worm." replied his companion, wriggling
back Into his hole.
noon. Korak hecamo hungry and thirsty. He
doubted that either of tho men would leave
camp now before morning! bo he with
drew, but toward tho South, for thero It
seemed most likely tho girl still was.
In the garden besldo the bungalow
Merlem wandered thoughtfully ln tho
moonlight Sho still imitated trom Uwana's,
to her, unjust treatment 'bf tho Hon.
Morlson Baynes. Nothing had been ex
plained to her, for both Bwana and My
Dear had wished to eparo her tho mortifica
tion and sorrow of tho true explanation of
Baynes proposal. They knew, afl Merlem
did not, that the man had had no Intention
of marrying heri else he would hao como
directly to Bwnnn, knowing full well that
no objection would be Interposed If Mcrlem
reany onreu tor him.
Merlem loved them both, and was grate
ful to them for all that they had dono for
her; but deep In her heart surged tho sav
ago love of liberty that her yeara of un
trammeled freedom In the Jungto had mndo
part nnd parcel of her being. Now, for
tho first time since sho had como to them,
Merlem felt llko a prisoner ln the bunga
low of Bwana and My Dear.
Like a caged tigress, the girl paoed the
length of the Inctonure. Once sho paused
near the outer fence, her head upon ono
side listening to the pad of naked human
feet just hoyond tho .garden. Tho sound
was not repealed.
Then she resumed her restless walking.
Down to tho opposite end of tho garden
sho passed, turned, and retraced her Btcps
toward tho upper end. Upon tho sward
near tho bushes that hid tho fence, full ln
tho glaro of tho moonlight, lay a. whtto
envelope that had not been there when sho
had turned almost upon the very spot a
moment before.
Merlem stopped short In her tracks,
listening again and sniffing more than
oor tho tigress: alert, ready. Beyond tho
bushes a linked black runner squatted,
peering through tho foliage. Ho saw her
tako a step closer to the lettor. Sho had
seen It He rose quietly, and following tho
fchadowa of tho bushes that ran down to
tho corral, was soon gono from sight
Modern's trained cars heard his every
move. She mado no attempt to seek olosor
knowledge of his identity. Already sho
had guessed that he was a messenger from
tho Hon Morlson. She stooped nnd picked
up tho envelope. Tearing It open, sho read
tho contents easily by the moon's brilliant
light
It was, a.a she had guessed, from
Baynes.
"I cannot go without seeing you again.
Como to the clearing early tomorrow
morning and say good-by to mo. Come
alone."
Tljcro was a little more words that
midj her heart bent faster and a happy
flush mount her oheok.

A Tryst by I'roxy.
IT WAS still dark when tho Hon. Morlson
Baynes Bet forth for tho trystlng place.
IIo Insisted upon having a guide, saying
that ho was not sure that he could find
his way back to tho little clearing.
As a matter of fact, tho thought of that
lonely ride through tho darkness before
tho sun rose had been too much for his
courage, and ho craved company.
A black, therefore, prccodod him on foot.
Behind and above him camo Korak, whom
the nolso In tho camp had awakened.
It was 9 o clock before Baynes drew rein
in the clearing. Merlem had not yet ar
rived. Tho black lay down to rest Baynes
lolled In his saddle. Korak stretched him
self comfortably upon a lofty limb, where
ho could watoh those ibeneath him without
being seen.
An hour passed. Baynes gavo evidence
of nervousness. ICarnk had already guessed
that the young Englishman had como here
to meet another; nor was he nt all In
doubt ns to tho Identity of that other, The
Killer was perfectly oattsfled that ho was
soon again to see the nimble girl who had
so forcefully reminded htm of Merlem.
Presently tha sound of nn approaching
horso camo to Korak's ears. She wns com
ing I Sho had almost reached tho clearing
before Baynes became aware of her preu
enae, and then as he looked up, the foliage
parted to tho head and shoulders of her
mount, and Merlem rode Into view, Baynea
spurred to meet her.
'Korak looked Bearchtngly down upon her,
mentally anathematizing the broad-b'rlm-med
hat that hid her features from his
eyes. She was abreast the Englishman
now.

about 30 years ago, 280,000 settling on
farms In Canada, 00,000 locating In. Brazil
nnd, up to tho present tlmo, nearly a million
reside In this land of liberty and oppor
tunity. "Their natlvo land, Oallcla, and nearby
provlncos nro now devastated, tholr tem
ples despoiled, their factories silenced, as
these peace-loUng peoplo havo fallon be
tweon tho awful millstones of a oruet and
pitiless war. Fleeing from such a fate, and
asking a fair chance to rear and support
their families, they como to America. For
years these trustful Immigrants have been
tho prey of doilgnlAg peoplo, who often met
them at tho piers. Thoy understood not
the language, knew not tho lawn or cus
toms, had no placo of worship wero
"sheep having no shepherd."
Theso deficiencies have now to some ex
tent boon ovorcome. Tho departments In
Philadelphia Include St. Ball's Orphanage,
schools, small hospital, dormitories, carpet
and rug factory, printing Bhop, dally pnpor
called Amcryka, music classes, sowing and
embroidery, English night school for adults,
American citizens' clubs and a separate de
partment for boys. There is also a. mutual
alck benefit and tnsurnnco noddy, called
"Providence," nnd a bank will soon be
opened, both havlhg been granted charters
complying with all tho regulations of tho
State Government.
So many calls for help have been coming
to tho ofllce that an employment bureau
will soon be opened "When funds are nvall
