CHArTEB XXI Contlnned
M-rrriRE we ore nt last," said Hanson. He
XI drew his revolver and fired In the air.
Instantly the camp across the river was
stir. Back wen ran down to the river's
bank. Hanson hailed them. Hut there was
no sign ol the Hon. Morlson Baynes.
In accordance with their master's In
structions, the blacks manned n canoe and
rowed across. Hanson placed Mcrlcm In the
little craft and entered It himself, leaving
two boys to watch the horses, which the
canoe was to return for and swim across
to the camp side of the river.
Oncd In ithe camp, Mcrlcm asked for
Baynes. For the moment her fcarB had
been nttnyeU by the Bight of the camp,
which she had come to look upon as moie
or less of a.iViyth. Hanson pointed toward
the single teht that stood In the centre of
the Inctosure.i
"There," hov said, nnd preceded her to
ward It, At tho cntranco he held the flnp
aside and motioned her within. Merlem en
tered and looked about. Tho tent wa
empty.
She turned toward -Hanson. Thero was
, broad grin on his face.
"Where Is Mr. Daynes 7" she demanded.
"Ho ain't here," replied Hanson. "Least
wise 1 don't see him, do you? But t'm here,
and I'm a damned sight better man than
that thing ever waB. You don't need him
no more you got me," and ho laughed up
roariously and reached for her.
Merlem struggled to free herself. Han
son encircled her arms and body In his
powerful grip and boro her slowly back
ward toward tho pile of blankets at tho far
end of tho tent. His face wan bent close
to hers. His eyes wore narrowed to two
slits of heat and passion and deslro.
Merlem was looking full Into his face as
he fought for freedom when thero camo
over her n sudden recollection of a similar
cene In which Bho had been a participant,
and with It full recognition of her nssallant.
He was tho Swede Malblhn, who had at
tacked her once beforoi who had shot his
oompanlon, who wpuld havo saved her, and
from whom she had been rescued by Bwana.
His Bmooth face had deceived her; but
now, with the growing beard and the sim
ilarity of conditions, recognition came Hwlft
nd sure.
But today thero would bo no Bwana to
save her!
CIIArTEK XXII
Morlson Finds Himself
THE black boy whom Malblhn had left
awaiting him In tho clearing with In
structions to remain until he returned, sat
crouched nt tho foot of a tree for an hour
when he was suddenly startled by tho
coughing grunt of a Hon behind him. "With
celerity born of tho fear of death, tho boy
clambered Into the branches of the tree,
nd a moment later the king of beasts en
tered tho clearing and approached tho
carcass of an antelope which, until now,
tho boy had not seen.
Until daylight the beast fed, while tho
black clung, sleepless, to his perch, wonder
ing what had become of his master and tho
two ponies. He had been with Malblhn for
a year, and bo was fairly conversant with
tho character of the whit His knowledge
presently led him to believe that he had
been purposely abandoned. Like the re
mainder of Maliblhn's followers, this boy
hated his master cordially fear relng tho
only bond that hold him to tho white man.
His present uncomfortable predicament
but added fuel to the fires of his hatred.
As the sun rose the lion withdrew Into
the jungle and the black descended from
his tree nnd started upon his long journey
back to camp. In his primitive brain re
volved varlqus fiendish plana for a revenge
that he would not have the courage to put
Into effect when tho test came and he stood
face to face with one of tho dominant race.
it. m"e 'rom "10 clearing he came upon
the spoor of two ponies crossing his path at
right angles. A cunning look entered the
black's eyes. He laughed uproariously and
slapped his thighs.
Negroes nra tireless gosslpcrs, which, of
course, Is but a roundabout way of saying
that they are human. Malblhn's boys
had been no exception to the rule, and as
many of them had been with .ilrn at various
times during tho last 10 years, there was
little about his acts and life In the African
wilds that was not known directly or by
hearsay to them nlh
And so, knowing his master nnd many of
his past deeds; knowing, too, a great deal
about the plans of Malblhn and Baynes
that had ,bcen overheard by himself or
other servants ; and knowing well, from the
gossip of the headmen that half of Mal
blhn's party lay In camp by the great river
far to the west, It was not difficult for the
boy to put two and two together and arrive
nt four as the sum the four being repre
sented by a firm conviction that his master
had deceived tho other white mnn nnd taken
the latter's woman to his western camp,
leaving the other to suffer capture and
punishment at tho hands of tho Big Bwana
whom nil fcarsd,
Again the boy bared his rows of whlto
teeth and laughed aloud. Then ho resumed
his northward way, travotlng at a dog
trot that ate up the miles with marvelous
rapidity.
In tho Swede's camp the Hon, Morlson
had spent an nlmost sleepless night of nerv
ous apprehension nnd doubts nnd fears.
Toward morning ho had slept, utterly ex
hausted. It was tho headman who awoke
him shortly after sunrise to remind him
that they must nt once take up their north
ward journey.
Baynes hung bnck. He wanted to wait
for "Hanson" nnd Merlem.
The headman urged upon him the danger
that lay In loitering. Tho fellow knew his
master's plans sufficiently -well to under
stand that ho had clone something to arouse
the Iro of the Big Bwana, and that It would
fnro 111 with them all If they were over
token In Big Bwana's country.
At tho suggestion, Bnyncs took alarm.
What If tho Big Bwana, as tho headman
called him, had surprised Hanson In his
nefarious work? Would he not guess the
truth and possibly be all ready on tho
march to overtake and punish him? Baynes
had heard much of hla host's summary
method of dealing out punishment to male
factors great and small who transgressed
tho laws or customs of his savago little
world which lay oven beyond the outer ram
parts of what men nro pleased to call fron
tiers. In this savago world, where thero
was no law, tho Big Bwana was law unto
himself and all who dwelt nbout him.
It was even rumored that he had exacted
the death penalty from a white man who
had maltreated a native girl.
Baynes shuddered at tho. recolloctlon of
this piece of gossip as he wondered what his
host would exact of the man who had
attempted to stent his young whlto ward.
The thought brought him to his feet.
"Yes," he said nervously, "wo must get
away from hero at once. Do you know
the trail to the north?"
The headman did, and he lost no time In
getting the safari upon the .march.
It was noon when a tired and sweat
covered runner overtook the trudging little
column. The man was. greeted with shouts
of welcome from his fellows, to whom ho
Imparted all that he knqw and guessed of
the actions of tholr master, so that the
entire safari was awaro of matters before
Baynes, who marched close to the head of
the column, was reached and acquainted
with the facts and the Imaginings of tho
black boy whom Malblhn had deserted In
tho clearing the night before.
When the Hon. Morlson had listened to all
that the boy bad to say, nnd realized that
tho trader had used him as a tool whereby
he himself might get Mcrlcm Into his pos
session, his blood rnn hot with rage, and
ho trembled with apprehension for the girl's
safety.
That another contemplated no worse than
he had In no way palliated tho hldeousness
Of thq other's offense.
At first It did not occur to him that he
would have wronged Merlem no less than
he believed Hanson Intended wronging her.
Mow his rage was more the rage of a man
bentcn at hla own game nnd robbed of tho
prize 'that ho had thought already his.
"Do you know where your master has
gorle?" he asked the black.
"Yes, Bwjvna." replied tho boy. "He has
gone to tho other enmp beside the big nfl
that flows far toward the setting sun."
"Can you take mo to him?" demanded
Baynes.
The boy nodded afllrmntUely. Here ho
saw a method of revenging himself upon
hla hated Bwana, and at the same time of
escaping the wrath of the Big Bwana, who,
all were positive, would first follow after
the northerly safari.
"Can you nnd 1, nlone, reach his camp?' .
asked the Hon. Morlson.
"Yes, Bwnna," assured tho black.
Baynes turned toward the headman. He
was conversant with Hanson's plans now,
Ho Understood why ho had wished to movo
tho northern camp as far as possible toward
the northern boundary of the Big Bwana's
country It would glvo him far more tlmo
to mako hlo escape toward tho west coast
whlto tho Big Bwana was chasing the
northern contingent.
Well, he would utilise the man's plans to
his own ends. He, too, must keep out of
the clutches of his host.
"You may take the men north as fast as
possible," he said to tho headman. "I shall
return nnd attempt to lead tho Big Bwana
to the west.'"
Tho negro assented with a grunt. Ho
had no deslro to follow this strange white
man who was afraid at night; he had less
to remain nt tho tender mercies of tho Big
Bwana's lusty warriors, between whom nnd
his people thero was long-stnndlng blood
feud; nnd ho was more thnn delighted, Into
the bargain, for a legitimate excuso for dc
sertlpg his much-hated Swede master.
He know a way to the north and his own
country that tho whlto men did not know
n short-cut ncross an nrld plateau where
lay water-holes of which the whlto hunters
nnd explorers that had passed from time to
tlmo tho fringe of the dry country had
never dreamed. He might oven oludo tho
Big Bwana should he follow them ; and
with this thought uppermost In his mind
he gathered tho romnant3 of Malblhn's
safari Into a semblance of order and moved
off townfd the north.
And toward tho aouthwest tho black boy
led tho Hon. Morlson Baynes Into tho
jungle.
Korak had waited about the camp, watch
ing the Hon. Morlson until tho safari had
started north. Then, assured that the
young Englishman wns going In the wrong
direction to meet Merlem, he had abandoned
him and returned slowly to tho point where
he had seen tho girl, for whom his heart
yoarncd, In the arms of nnother.
So great had been hl3 happiness at seeing
Merlem alive that, for the Instant, no
thought of Jealousy had entered his mind.
Later these thoughts had come dark,
bloody thoughts that would have made tho
flesh of the Hon. Morlson creep could ho
have guessed that they wero revolving In
tho brain of a savage creature creeping
stealthily among tho branches of the forest
giants beneath which he waited the coming
of Hanson and the girl.
And with passing of tho hours had come
t-ubducd reflection In which he had weighed
himself against the trimly clad English
gentleman nnd found that ho was wanting.
What had ho to offer her by comparison
with that which the other might offer?
What was his "mes3 of pottage" to tho
FARMER SMITH'S
RAINBOW CLUB
WHAT IS EXCITEMENT?
Dear Children It is said that wo ,are never old so long as we like to go to
ft fire or follow a band.
The reason wo like to go to a lire is because we get excited about some
thing. Everybody is running and we run, too. That starts our little hearts
to pumping and the blood begins to race through our bodies and we feel better.
Everybody else is excited and the only thing for us to' do is to get excited
too, or thero is no use in going to the fire.
Perhaps we yell.
It's a great idea to yell, because it opens up our lungs and gives them some
thing to do. Our lungs are very important; if you do not think so just try
. to hold your breath for a minute or two and see.
Too much excitement is not good for us, especially at night. Tho younger
we are, the less excitement we should have, because it interferes with our sleep.
Don't get baby brother excited just before he drops off to dreamland, for
his little mind will keep on jumping up and down even after he has fallen
asleep and he will wake up and tell you all about it, and the result is you don't
get your sleep either.
Of course you have another YOU, which is your shadow or the fellow who
does the dreaming, and you havo to be good to him and not get him excited.
1 Excitement is like sugar, you can get too much of it. Besides, there is
Eo'metimes a reaction. You get so excited you don't know what you are doing
that's bad.
DON'T GET EXCITED.
Keep your heart and lungs from working too hard. They will thank you
by giving you good health.
Whatever you do, don't get excited about NOTHING. That Is important.

BILLIE BUBBLE'S PERIL
By Farmer Smith
One day Dllllo Bubble was resting along
side the bank of a brook, when all of n
sudden he saw a little boy right abovo
him.
"Now, I wonder what that boy Is going
to do," thought Dlllle.
He didn't have long to wonder. Tho boy
stooped over, a tin pall flashed In the sun
light, and zip! before Blllto Bubble could
get out of the way, ho was lifted right out
of the brook.
"Well, I declare," he said to himself,
"what's all this mean?"
The next thing Blllle knew he was be
ing, poured Into a llttlo hole dug Into the
bank,
Tho little boy played a long time. He
had a little tiny boat which he floated all
around the little hole. Blllle had all he
could do to keep out of the way.
After a while the boy went nway and
left little Blllle Bubble still In the hole.
By and by Blllle began to be very scared.
The sun was very, very hot, and the wa
ter. In the hole was drying up.
"If I don't get out of here pretty soon,"
said Blllle, "thero will be an end to me."
"Hello, Blllle Bubble," said a voice over
Blllle's head.
Blllle looked up quickly. A friendly Leaf
was nodding and smiling at him from the
tree above.
"Don't bo alarmed," said the Leaf, "it's
going to rain pretty hard In Just a minute,
nnd then you will be safe." Sure enough,
Blllle had been so frightened he hadn't
noticed that the sun had disappeared be
hind some heavy black clouds.
Soon t began to thunder and lightning
and then came the rain, great big drops,
bo fast and thick that the hole soon filled
up and then began to run over,
"Now's my chance," said BUlle, and
out of the hole he splashed, and back down
the hill ho hurried Just as fast as he
could go,
"7-at was a narrow escape," he said, as
he sank back gratefully Into the water of
the little brook.

birthright that (ho other had preserved?
How could he dnro go, naked and unkempt,
to that fnlr thing who had once been his
Jungle-fellow, nnd proposo tho thing that
had been In his mind when first the rentiin
tlon of his love had Bwept over him?
Ho shuddered as ho thought of the lr
rcpainblo wrong that his lovo would have
done tho Innocent child but for tho chnnce
that had snatched her from him before It
was too late.
Doubtless she knew now tho horror Hint
had been In his mind. Doubtless she hated
and loathed him as hp hated nnd tonthed
himself when he let his mind dwell upon It.
Ho had lost her. No more surely had she
been lost when ho thought her dead thnn
she wns In reality now that ho had seen
her living living In the gulso of n refine
ment nnd civilization that had transfigured
nnd sanctified her.
Ho had loved her beforo; now he wor
shiped her Ho knew that hf might never
possess her now. but nt least ho might see
her. From n distance he might look upon
her. Perhaps ho might servo heri but
never must sho guess that he had found
her, or that ho lived.
Ho wondered If she over thought of him
If the happy days thnt they had spent to
gether never recurred to her mind. It
seemed unbollevnble that such could be tho
case i nnd yet, too, It seemed almost equally
unbelievable that this beautiful girl wns
tho samo disheveled, half-naked little sprite
who skipped nimbly nmong tho brnnches
of tho trees ns they rnn nnd played In the
lazy, happy days of the past. It could not
be that her memory held more of the past
than did her new appearance.
It 'was n sad Korak who ranged tho
Junglo'near tho plntn's edgo waiting for the
coming of his Merlem tho Merlem who
never came.
But thero camo nnother a tall, broad
shouldered man In khnkl, at the bond of a
swarthy crew of ebon warriors. The man's
face was Bet In hard, stern lines, nnd tho
mnrks of sorrow wore writ deep about his
mouth nnd eyes so deep that the set ex
pression of rago upon ills features could
not obliterate them.
Kornk saw tho man pass beneath him
where ho hid In tho great treo that had
harbored him boforo upon the edgo of that
fateful llttlo clearing. Ho saw him come,
and ho sat rigid and frozen and suffering
abovo him. Ho saw him search tho ground
with hla keen eyes, nnd ho only sat thore
watching with eyes that glazed from the
intensity of his gaze.
Ho saw him sign to his men that he had
come upon that which he sought, nnd ho
saw him pass out of sight toward tho north,
and still Korak sat like a graven Image,
with a heart that bled In dumb misery.
An hour later Korak moved slowly away,
back into the Junglo toward tho west. He
went listlessly, with bent head nnd stooped
shoulders, like nn old man who boro upon
his back tho weight of a groat sorrow.
Baynes, following his black guide, bat
tled his way through the dense underbrush,
riding stooped low over his horse's neck, or
often ho dismounted where tho low branches
swept too closo to earth to permit him to
remain In tho saddle.
Tho black was taking him tho shortest
way, which was no way at all for n horse
man ; nnd after the llrst day's march tho
young Englishman was forced to abandon
his mount, and follow his nimble guide en
tirely on foot.
During tho long hours of marching tho
Hon. Morlson had much tlmo to devote to
thought, nnd as he pictured tho probablo
fato of Merlem nt the hands of the Swede
his rage against tho man became the
greater. But p csently thero camo to him
u realization of the fact that his own base
plans had led the girl Into this terrlblo
predicament, and that even had she es
caped Hanbon she would have found but
llttlo better deserts awaiting her with him,
Then there enmo the realization that
Merlem was Infinitely more precious to him
than ho had Imagined. For tho llrst time
ho commenced to compare her with other
women of his acquaintance women of birth
and position and almost to his surprise
ho discovered that tho young Arab girl
suffered less than they by the comparison.
And then from hating Hanson he camo
to look upon himself with hate and loath.
Ing to see himself and his perfidious acts
In all their contemptible hldeousness.
Thus, In the crucible of shame amid the
white heat of naked truths, the passion
that the man had felt for the girl he had
considered his social Inferior was trans
muted Into love. And as ho staggered on
thero burned within him beside his new
born Ioe another great passion the pas
slon of hate urging him on to the consum
mation of revenge.
A creature of ease and luxury, he had
never been subjected to the hardships and
tortures which now were his constant com.
panlons; yet, his clothing torn, his flesh
scratched and bleeding, he urged the black
to greater speed, though with every dozen
steps he himself fell from exhaustion.
It was revenge whlcji kept him going
that and a feeling that In his suffering ho
was partially expiating the great wrong, he
had done the girl ho loved; for hope of sav
ing her from th? fate Into which he had
trapped her had neer existed.
"Too late! Too late!" was the dismal ac
companiment of thought to which he
marched. "Too late! Too late to save; but
not too late to avenge!"
That kept him up.

Infant mortality reaches Its highest mark
In hot weather, and ns hot weather is ndv7

Interesting to mothers. MrB. Georg IL

tho exhibit to visitors.
Explanations nro made of tho distri
bution of free milk and free ice la
needy mothers outsldo of tho Institution",
Several statisticians' charts on the wall
show the hospital maintenance cost and
cost per capita.
An Ingenious appliance, designed at the
hospital, Is a "baby carrier," Or htlga
perambulator. It Is a double-deck trtick
on wheels; nn Iron frame In which Is sus
pended 10 Iron basket cribs, each a sepa
rate and distinct portable unit. An asbestos
crib, curiously, but cheaply madet and
heated by electricity, was designed nt the
hospltnl for treatment of anaemic children.
Another exhibitor at tho exposition Is
the Mothers' Assistance Fund, of Philadel
phia County, 1414 South Penn Bquare. Tho
mothers' pension law was enacted In 1913.
For n woman to bo eligible to draw from
this fund she must be:
"A widow, or tho wife of a man per
manently Insane nnd tho mother of de
pendent (under 1C ears) children without
the financial means to care for them.
"A resident of tho county for threo con
secutive years before sho receives the al
lowance. "A womnn of good character, who except
for lack of money, Is able to make good
citizens of her children."
The mother Is nlded by monthly visits of
tho fund's ngents, who glvo advice concern
ing wise expenditure of money and nutrit
ious diet for children. The health of iho
mother nnd children Is carefully looked
nfter, particular attention being paid to ths
c.'cs, teeth and general health. If neces
sary, medical attention Is given.
The fund asserts that the following re
sults have been obtained:
"1. Women who came to us broken In
health and spirits are now well physically,
happy and hopeful nnd abltious for the wot
faro nnd education of their children.
"2. Owing to the fact that the mother Is
at home to sco that the, children have proper
meals and aro comfortably clothed when
they go to school, there has not been p.
slnglo case of truancy among our chil
dren.
I
'Owing to tho very inadequate appropria
tion In 1915 we have only been able to take
caro of 121 families in Philadelphia
County, Just one-fifth of the number which
should havo been cared for.
"Will you sign our petition and try to
help us get our appropriation of $800,000 In
stead of $250,000?
"A child In an Institution costs the Stats
from $10 to $15 per month and In tho
borne and with a mother's care $5.85 a
month. '
"The mother Is tho best and least ex
pensive agent the Stato can find for the
care of Its dependent wards.
