careful search for the pouch, but
nowhere upon or about the corpse was
any sign of the missing article or Its '
contents. The ape-man was disap
pointed possibly not so much because
of tho loss of the colored pebbles as
with Xuma for robbing him of tho
pleasure of revenge.
Wondering what could have become
of his possessions, the ape man turn
ed slowly back along the trull In the
direction from which he had come. In
his mind he rovolvcd a plan to en
ter and search the Arab camp, after
darkness had again fallen. Taking to
ths trees, he moved directly south in
scarab of pre , that ho might satlsf
his hunger before midday, and then

it came tlmo to piosecuto hli design
Scarcely had he quitted the trail
when a tall black warrior, moving at
a dogtrot, passed toward the east.
It was Mugambl, searching for his
'mistress. Ho continued along tho trail,
halting to examine the body of tho
dead Hon.
An expicssion of puzzlement crossed
his features us he bent to seaich for
the, wounds which had caued tho
death of the jungle loid. Tarzan had
removed his arrows, but to Mugambl
tho proof of death was ns strong as
though both the lighter missiles and
the spear still protruded from the car
easy.
The black looked furtively about
him. Tho body was still warm, and
from this fact he leasoned that the
killer was close at hand; jet no sign
of living man appenred. Mugambl
continued along the tiall, but with re
doubled caution.
All day ho traveled, stopping occa
sionally to cull aloud tho single word,
"Lady," In tho hope that at last she
might hear and respond, but In tne
ond his loyal deotlon brought him to
disaster.
From the ,noithenst, for several
months, Abdul Mourak, in command

True to their Instincts of precau

under orders from Abdul Mourak, ad
vanced stealthily through tho Jungle
toward the nuthor of the call.
A. half hour later they returned,

"Not sine tho night 5'ou ran away

"Good!" hooted Judge Owl. "Now I

"Fine I" shouted Peggy and Blllj' to

"Why, I don't know the waj" hooted
Judge Owl. "I came hero so fast that
night I never noticed the direction."
"I know the way," squeaked the Baucy
rabbit which had been the cause of their

from tho woods. "Follow ino and j'ou'll

Of the two tailors, one already
had a good agencj" for readj'-made
clothes, the other didn't believe In It.
He was old-fashioned and believed that
the only way to do business was to cut
the cloth oft tho loll for tho man and
make up the suit that way. Well, Ben

Insisted the mole tartly. "I never saw)
a watch, did I?"
"Oh, I forgot that moles are blind,'
exclaimed Peggy, much chagrined at hctf
own mistake.
"You're not so smart as you till nil
j'ou are," grunted tho mole, rudely
"As I said before this Is tho queerest)
watch I never saw. Instead of telling
the time of day. It tried to tell mo thei
way here. And It didn't know a thlngj
about It If I had paid any attention
to It. I'd have been out of tho woods
by this time."
"Oh, compass, will you show us th
way out?" cried Billy eagerly, plcklns
It up from the enrth.
"I can tell you nothing, tinkled thej
compass dlsgGstedlj'. "This queer creaj
turo has got mo so confused nnd tangle
up with It's senseless turnings and
tvvlstlngs, that I don't know whether1
I'm coming or going."
True enough, when Billy came to ex-t
amine the compass, ho found that IC
didn't know a thing. Apparently soma
dirt had got Into its workings and put
It out of kilter.
"You're a funny guide," grunted thdj
mole. "X blind mole knows the wsj"
better than j'ou do." j
"Please, wise Mr. Mote, show us thej ,
way out," pleaded Peggj".
J'I'll do nothing of tho kind. I mtghtl
get lost If I got outside the dark woods.
Good night." With that the mole drew)
back Into the hole nnd was gone.
"I wish I had grabbed nnd eaten hlm.'l
hooted Judge Owl.
Suddenly thoaucy rabbit Jumped ou(
of the woods.
"Saj", if you don't want tho dark Iti
catch J'ou, you'd better hurry out ofj
here," ho squeaked, nt onco darting bacy
Into tho woods. .
Bunny was ccrtalnlj' getting hla re

"If some one could Just give me a
good crack with a club, I could fly out
of this woods Into tho region of found,
things," suggested Silver King, the golfl
ball.
"That's a good Idea," cried Billy Bel
glum, "I'll do It. Then maybe jou cam
show us tho waj out."
Billy set up Silver King on a llttla
heap of dht, then swung one of the golfT
clubs as he had seen men do.
"Hee! Hee! Wiat foolishness !"
chuckled Gloomj Nooks.
Wham! Silver King had drawn In hlrt
head, arms nnd legs nnd when tho head,
of the club hit him ho went zlpplngj
through the air zipping straight foU
Gloomj Nooks's nose.
"Yow! Murder!" howled Gloomj"
Nooka.
"That was a good punch," cried Silver
King. "Set me up higher this time and
trj' again."
Wham! went tho o'.ub again and!
Sliver King again smashed Into Gloomy
Nooks But this tlmo ho touched only
the top of tho Image's head, bounce
off and went soaring up through tho
trees.
"Hurrah!" came Silver King's voice,
floating back, "I can see the open links.
I'm on mj' waj to freedom."
"Drlvo us out. too," cried all ther
other golf balls to Billy Belgium. "That's
the way to escape."
"Murder! Oh, mj poor cj'o!" walled
Gloomy Nooks.

In the class of goods she would like

She can advertise her services In the

She can call on the secretary ot the
