CHAPTER Vl-(Continued) THE scent of heliotrope roso more strongly In the closed room, nnd from the handkerchief Philip's eyes turned to the face of Eileen Broknw ' looking: at him from out of Grcgson's sketch. It was a, curious coincidence. He reached over and placed tho picture face down. Then he loaded his pipe, and sat smoking, his vision traveling beyond the table, beyond the closed door to tho lonely black rock where he had come, upon Joanno and Pierre. Clouds of smoke rose about him, and lis half closed his eyes. He saw tho girl again, as she stood there; ho saw the moonlight shining In her hair, the dark, startled beauty of her eyes ns she turned upon him; he heard again the low sobbing note In her voice as she cried out her hatred against Churchill. Ho foigot Eileen Brokaw now, forgot In these moments all that he and Gregson had talked of that day. His schemes, his fears, his feverish eagerness to begin tho fight against his enemle3 died away In thoughts of tho beautlfut girl who had come Into his life this night. It seemed to Mm now that he had known her for a long time, that she had been a part of him always, and that It was her spirit that ho had been groping and searching for, and could never find. For tho spaco of those few moments on the cliff she had driven out the emptiness and the loneliness from his heart, and there filled him a wild desire to make her understand, to talk with her, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Pierre out there In the night, a comrade. Suddenly his flngcts closed tlghtlj over the handkerchief. Ho turned and looked steadily at Gregson. His frfend was sleeping, with his face to tho wall. "Would not Pierre return to the rock In search of these articles which his sister had left behind? The thought set his blood tingling. He would go back and wait for Pierre. But If Plerro did not return until tomor row? He laughed softly to himself as he drew paper toward him and picked up the pencil which Gregson had used. For many minutes he wrote steadilj. When ho had done, he folded what lie had written and tied It In tho handker chief. The strip of lape with which , Jeanno had bound her hair he folded uently and placed in his breast p'ocket. Thero was a guilty flush in his faco Us ho stole silently to the door. What would Gregson say If ho knew that he Phil Whlttemore. tho man whom he had once idealized as "The Fighter," and whom he believed to bo proot against all love of woman was doing this thing? Ho opened and closed the door softly. At least he would send Ills message to these strange people oi mo wuuei- ness. They would know that he was not a part of that Churchill which they Iiated, mat in ins neaii no n-u ceased to bo a thing of its breed. He apoiogizeu again iur mi w.. u.i- pearance on the took, but the apology was only an excuse for other things which ho wrote, in which for a few brief moments he bared himself to thoso whom he knew would under- stand, and asked mat tneir acquaint- anco might be continued. He felt that there was something &..! i).i ... . - - - and yet. as he hurried over the ridge and down into Churchill again, he was thrilled as no other adventure had , ever thrilled .him before.

He knew It by sen,e of satisfaction in what he had tho slow, dismal rising of the cry and the infinite sadness with which It as slowly died away until lost In the whisperings of the forest and the gentle wash of the sea. Pierre was returning. He was coming back "through the forest. Perhaps Jeanne would be with him. For the third time rhlllp climbed back to the great moonlit rock at the top of the cliff. Eagerly he faced the north, whence the walling cry of the wolf-dog had come. Then he turned to , tho spot where he had dropped the1 handkerchief, and his heart gave aj sudden Jump. There was nothing on the rock. The handkerchief was gone! CHAPTER VII PHILIP stood undecided, his ears strained to catch the slightest sound. Ten minutes had not elapsed since he had dropped the handkerchief. Pierre could not have gone far among the rocks. It was possible that he was concealed somewhere near him now Softly he called his name. "Pierre ho, Pierre Couchee!" There was no answer, and in the next breath he was sorry that he had Mlled. He went ellently down the FLOWER OF THE NORTH By JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD trail. Ho had como to tho edgo of Churchill when once moro ho heard the howl of tho dog far back In tho forest. Ho stopped to locate ris nearly as he could tho point whence the sound came, for -ho was certain now that tho dog had not returned with Pierre, but had remained with Jeanne, and was howling from their camp.

Months had passed. The labor of the Waziri aiuKtho gold of Opar had rebuilt and refurnished the wasted homestead of the Grrystokes. Once moro tho simple llfo of the great African farm went on ns It had before tho coming of tho Belgian and the Arab. Forgotten were tho sorrows and dangers of yesterday. For the first time In months Lord Greystoke felt that he might indulge In a holiday, and so a great hunt was organized that tho faithful laborers might feast in celebration of tho coirw pletion of their work. ) In Itself tho hunt was a success.! and ten days nfter Its Inauguration ai well laden sararl took up its return march toward tho Waziri plain. LorcM and Lady Greystoke, with Busull ancM Mugambl, rodo together at tho head! of tho column, laughing and talking together in that easy familiarity which common Interests nnid mutual respect breed between honest and in telligent men of any race. Jano Clayton's horse shied suddenly nt an ouject nair Hidden in tho long grasses of an open space In tha Jungle. Tarzan's keen eyes sought quickly for an explanation .of tho animals action. "What have wo here?" ho cried, swinging from his saddle, and a moment later the four wero grouped about a human skull and a little litter of whitened human bones. Tarzan stooped and lifted a leathern pouch from the grisly relics of a man. The hard outlines of tho1 contents brought nn exclamation of surprise to his lips. "Tho Jewels of Opar!" he cried, hold. ,....j...,.j u w . .i lnB tho pouch aloft. "And" pointing to mo bones at his feet "all that re- mains of Werper, tho Belgian." Mugambl laughed.

I THE END, Joker's joko was hurting the mean sprites moro than it was him. As they returned to the tar pot they heaid groans and jells from within. The heat was driving the mean sprites wild, as Laugh had said It would Billy didn't saj- a word, but threw open tha firebox door, shoveled in more coal and opened the drafts. "Here, what are jou doing?" shrieked Mocker. "Making the flro hotter to thaw out J'our brains so jou can reniember where King Fun is," answered Billy, calmlj'. "He Is in the new baking dish Peggy'a mother got for Christmas," jelled tha mean sprites In a chorus. "Is that true. Joker?" nskert nillv. I stirring up the fire. "Joker can't answer. We'va pushed him dow n into the hot tar and are I standing on him because be got us into this trouble," jelled the mean sprites. A roar of laughter went up from tha ajsreeable sprites over this punishment of the bully, and they kept on laughing all tho way to Peggy's house. Suie enough King Pun was In th baking dish. The mean sprites hadn't) , dared to tell another fib. As Peggy"' lifted the cover King Kun bobbed up Jovially, his crown peiched on tho side of his head. "Hello, evcrjl.odj"' he shouted.
