4 CHArTEI XXVI (Coiitlnnetl).
THE evening meat over, Merlem had gone
to her pallet tn the women's quartern of
the sheik's tent, a little corner screened off
In the rear by n couple of priceless Persian
rugs hung to form a partition, tn these
quarters she had dwelt with Mabunu alone,
for tho sheik had no wives.
Nor were conditions altered now after
he years bt her nbsence sho and Ma
fcunu were atone In the women's quarters.
Presently the sheik, camo nnd parted the
rugs. He glared through the dim light of
'ter'emr he called. "Come hither I"
The girl arose and came Into the front
ef tho tent. There tho light of a fire
Illuminated tho Interior. She s.-W All ben
Kadln, the sheik's half-brother, squatted
upon a rug, smoking. Tho sheik was
The sheik and All ben Kadln had had
the same father, but All ben Kadln's
mother had been a slave a West Coast
regress. All ben Kadln was old and
hideous and almost black. His noso and
part of one cheek we're eaten nway by dis
ease. He looked up and grinned ns Merlem
' The sheik Jerked his thumb toward All
ten Kadln nnd addressed Merlem.
"I am getting old," he said, "I shall
not live much longer. Therefore I have
given you to All ben Kadln, my brother."
That was all. All ben Kadln rose and
came toward her. Merlem shrank back,
horrified, The man sclicd her wrist.
"Cornel" ho commanded, and dragged
her from the sheik's tent nnd to his own,
After they had gone the shclk chuckled.
"When I Bend her North In a few months,"
he soliloquized, "they will know the re
ward for slaying tho son of the sister of
Amor ben Khntour."
And In All bon Kadln's, tent Merlem
ntraded and threatened, but nllto no avail,
The hideous old half-caste spoke soft
words nt first; but when Merlem loosed
upon him the vials of her horror nnd loath
ing, he became enraged and, rushing .upon
her, solred her In his arms.
Twice she tore away from him. nnd
in one of tho Intervnls during which sho
managed to elude him she heard Baynes'
voice humming the tune that Bhe knew
was meant for her cars.
At her reply All ben Kndln rushed upon
her once ngnln. This tlmo he dragged her
back Into tho renr npartment of his tent,
whero three negresscs looked up In Btolld
fndlfrerenco to tho tragedy being enacted
before them.

"Morlionl" cried the girl.
Kornk turne'd nnd looked nt the new-comi-r.
He had been nliout to tak Mer
lem In his arms, foigetful of all that might
have trnnsplred since Inst ho had seem
her, Then the coming of tho young i:ng.
Iihtnnn recalled tho scene ho had witnessed
In the little clcnrlng, nnd a wave of misery
swept over the npeman.
Already from without came tho sounds
of the nlnrm that tho three negresscs had
started. Men were running townrd tho
tent of All ben Kadln. Thero wns no tlmo
to be lost.
As the Hon. Morlsou b.iw his way blocked
by the hugo frame of tho giant black, hh
disappointment and rage filled him with a
fury that transformed him Into a savnge
beast. With an oath he leaped upon the
man before him, the momentum of his body
hurling tho black to the ground. There
they fought, tho black to draw his Unite,
the white to choke tho llfo from him.
Baynes' fingers shut off tho cry for
help that tho other would have been glad
to volco; but presently tho negro succeeded
In drawing his weapon, and nn Instant
later Baynes felt n sharp steel In his
shoulder.
.Again nnd again the weapon fell. The
white man removed one hand from Its
choking grip- upon the black throat. He
ttt around upon tho ground beside him,
searching for some missile, and nt Inst his
fingers touched a stone and closed upon It.
Raising It above his antagonist's head,
the Hon. Morlson drove home a terrific
blow. Instantly tho black relaxed
ttunned. Twice more Baynes struck him.
Then he leaped to his feet and ran for the
goatskin tent, from which he nnd heard
the' voice 'of Merlem In distress.
But before him wns another. Naked
but for his leopard skin nnd his loin-cloth,
Kiirak, the Killer, slunk Into the shndows nt
the back of All ben Kndln's tent. The half
caste had just dragged Merlem Into the
rear chamber as Korak's sharp knife silt n I
Quick:" cried Kornk. turning townrd
Baynes, who had pcarcc yet realized
whether he was facing a friend or foe.
"Tnko her to the palisade, following tho
renr of the tents. Heto It my rope. With It
you can scale the wall nnd make your
escape."
"But you, Korak7" cried Merlem
"I will remnln," replied tho npeman "I
nave nusmess with the sheik."
Merlem would have demurred, but tho
Killer seized them both by tho shoulders
nnd hustled them through the silt wall nnd
out Into tho shadows beyond.
"Now run for It," he admonished, nnd
turned to meet those who were pouring Into
the tent from tho front.
The npeman fought well fought as ho
had never fought before; but the oddi
were too great for victory, though he won
that which ho most craved time for the
Hngllshmnn to escape with Merlem Then
he was oerwhclmed by numbers, nnd a
few minutes; Inter, bound nnd guarded, he
was carried to the sheik's tent.
Tho old man eyed him In sllenco for a
long time. He wns trying to fix in his
own mind some form of torture that would
gtatlfy his rage nnd hatred townid this
crenturq who twice had been the means of
his losing possession of Merlem.
Tho killing of All bon Kndln caused him
little nnger nlways had lie hated the hide
ous' son of his father's hideous slave. The
blow that this naked white, warrior hnd
once struck him added fuel to his rngc. He
could think of nothing ndequate to tho
creature s offense.
And ns he sat thero looking upon Ko
rak, the silence wns broken by the trumpet
ing of nn elephant In the jungle beyond the
palisade. A half smllo touched Koran's
111 s. He turned his head a trifle In tho
direction from which the sound hnd come,
and then thero broke from his lips a low,
weird call. '
One of the blacks guarding him struck
htm across the mouth with the haft of his
spear, but none there knew the signifi
cance of the cry.
In tho junglo Tantor cocked his cars ns
tho sound of Kornk's volco felt upon them.
Ho nrproached the 1 ollsade and. lifting his
trunk above It, sniffed. Then he placed his
bend against the wooden logs nnd pushed;
but tlvj pallsado wns strong, and It oqly
gave a little to the pressure.
In the sheik's tent the sheik roso at last
nnd, pointing townid the hound captive,
turned to ono of IiIj lieutenants.
"Burn him!" he commanded. "At once.
Tho stnke Is set."
The guard pusjied Kornk from the sheik's
presence. They dragged him to the open
space In the centre of the village, whero
n high stake wns set In tho ground. It had
not been Intended for burnings, but offered
a convenient place to tie lip refractory
slaves that they might be beaten oft
times until death relieved their ngonles.
To this stnke they bound Kornk. Then
they brought brush and piled It about him,
nnd the sheik came nnd stood by that he
might wntch the agonies of his victim.
Hut Korak did not wince 'oven nftcr they
hnd fetched n brand nnd the flames had
shot up among the dry tinder.
Once, then, he rnlsod his voice In the
low call that he had given In the sheik's
tent, nnd now, from beyond the palisade,
came again the trumpeting of nn elephant.

resentment against tho dumb barrier that

He wheeled nnd shuttled back a dozen
paces, then turned. He lifted his trunk
nnd gave voice to n mighty roaring, trumpet-call

chorged llko n hug b.itterlng-rnm of flesh

Lifting his burden high above his head tho

of Kornk, whom Bhe hnd long given

by Baynes. Among tho tents he guided her
safely to tho palisade, and there, following
Kornk's Instructions, the englishman
pitched a ifoo.se over the top of one of the
upright logs that formed the barrier. With
difficulty he renched the top, nnd then
lowered his hand to assist Merlem to his
side.
"Come." he whispered. . "We must hurry."
And then, ns though she had awakened
from a sleep, Merlem camo to herself. Back

Koink her Kornk! Her place was by his
side, lighting with him nnd for him.
"Go!" she called "Make our way back

Silently tho Hon. Morlson Baynes slid to

"It wns only for you that I left him,"
ho snld, nodding toward the tents they Had
Just left "I knew that ho could hold them

Now I can omuo to you with an offer of
honest love, which will reall-.e the honor of

For a moment Merlem was silent, burled
In t.iought. Her first question seemed
li relevant.
"How did you hnppen to be In this
village?" bhe asked.
He told her alt that had transpired since
the black had told him of Hanson's
duplicity.
"You sny that you nre n cownrd." she
said, "and yet you hae" clone all tills to

"You mean that you still love me?" he
gasped In astonishment, taking n step
tow.-ird her as though to gather her Into
his aims; but she placed her hand against
him and pushed him gently away, as much
ns to say: ".Not yet.

CONSIDER THE WALRUS
Dear Children Two million years ago (maybe less), there lived on tho top
of a great big mountain of ice a Little Walrus.
He was happy, the Walrus was, but by and by the little fellow began slip
ping, slipping toward the great big ocean. ' .,
After many years tho descendants of the Little Walrus found themselves
right on tho edge of tho great big ocean, andwhat is more wonderful, their
children found them falling into the great big ocean.
Therefore
A land animal became a sea or water animal and
What happened?
The Walrus who fell into tho water said to himself: "Here I am in the
Water. It is a case of sink or swim. I don't know 'how to swim, but I'll TRY."
The Walrus beganr to wiggle.
He wiggled everything ho could think of, and by and by found that ho was
having a beautiful time swimming around in tho, water. Then he wanted to get
on land again and so he wiirgled some moro, and, SURE ENOUGH! He was
oon on the land, and after a bit he took another plunge into tho great big ocean
and LIKED IT.
The Walrus has Ifeen there ever since; not the samo one, but others, nnd
they all MADE. THE BEST OF IT.
Some of you nre now in strango places, visiting people or away from home
or working. MAKE THE BEST OF IT.
REMEMBER THE LITTLE WALRUS.
It will help you. . FARMER SMITH,

with beautiful rugs nnd tapestries nnd
furnishings, but the soncc of home com
fort wnH nbsolutely lacking. I didn't feel
as If I were In n houne at nil ; 't was an
nr museum. Tho costliness of tho furnish
ings themselves made me feel thnt cverv
place ou went there wos bomethlng to bo
caioful of.
"Now. that Is another thing the home
decorator should avoid. Tho homo Is a
"Inre to be lived In; It should spell comfort
nnd elegance nnd It can do so with the
expenditure of very little money. I have
seen houses furnished with the minimum
nmount of money, giving the ninxlmum
amount of ntmosphcro. The wnll paper
should be pla n ; simple half-tones of buff,
gray, t'ui, dull greens, blues nnd tho like
are suitable backgrounds for the room.
Wnll paper, to be nrtlstlc, should be a
background. That's why figured chintz ef
fects and cretonnes should be sparingly
used and not used at all when there Isn't
money enough to chnngc It when one tires
of It, ns ono surely will In a very short
time.
"Then comes tho question of furnishings.
Use ns little In the average household as
you can, but let that little bo good. It
Inn't necessary to litter up the room nnd
hallwnys with knlckknncks. I feel Justified
In saying thn,t tho hull Is the character
istic part of the home; It reveals the habits
and outlook of the Inmates more than any
other part of the house. A plain, long
hall, with simple furnishings gives breadth
and Interest to the rest of the rooms."
The question of colors ns used In house
hold decoration changed the conversation
somewhat Miss Hamaker Is n textile de
signer, and has originated many motifs for
rugs, wall papers nnd drnpcrles. Her ideas
on the modern tendencies nlong these lines
nre Interesting.
. ".Mnny persons nre pleased to call the
new art freakish, hut I don't thing It Is."
she tells you, "In tho first place, the
new nrt could i.vver be unless wo had a
perfect upderstnndlng of the old nrt. If
we hadn't lml our old masters, If we
didn't undviFtai'd their color values, we
wruldn't hnve anyone to appreciate them
now. The odd squares nnd circles that nre
vrei to decoiato wnll papers nnd hangings
nowndns nren t what they seem. Thev
represent thought nnd study, they nre the
trained artist's conception of conventional
motifs
"Colors nre a grent part ot the decora
tive scheme nowndavs. The yellows nnd
grnys nnd mauve tints nre popular, rather
than the rose and blues that used to be In
vogue. Dull, Indistinct colors nre admir
ably combined ; mauve and green nnd
crenm, for Instance, may bo used on one
nrtlcle. But thero Is so much behind the
decorntlve aft thnt does not nppenr on
tho surface, It requires such an appreciation
ot nrtlstlc value and color, design and
form, that It Is n thing far removed from
the amateur. Tho average woman doesn't
realize how much she needs to know to
furnish her own home tastefully."
