KING OF
THE JUNGLE
CHAPTER 14
It was two years before Kaspa and
Sefton returned to Honeydale. The
change had done Kaspa good. Under
Sefton’s sympathetic tuition, he had
made great strides with his studies
and obtained a clearer insight into
the ways of men and cities. How-
ever, the lure of Africa was still in his
blood. He felt that civilization was
tawdry and unsatisfying. y
When the Marleys heard. of his re-
turned, Madeline insisted upon going
down to see him, She was accom-
panied by Sheila and Reeves. When
they arrived at Honeydale, Kaspa was
ten miles away in the forest, padding
softly among the trees, clad in noth-
ing but a bathing suit. He scared up
a deer and feeling the need of exercise,
determined to chase it down. The deer
took a roundabout course through the
forest. Finally he chased it out on the
open ground bordering the lake and
as it trod the loose sandy soil he saw
that it was almost spent; the end of
the hunt was in sight.
Madeline had grown tired of the
The shad-
owy room with its atmosphere of ci-
garette smoke and sophistication was
most distasteful to her. She got up
quietly and. wandered out on to the
veranda and so on to the lawn. It was
a beautiful evening. She walked down |
to the lake, looking over the water.
How futile and unsatisfying everyth-
ing was! She was twenty-three, heal-
thy and beautiful, and condemned to
follow a career of senseless gayety
until, wearied to death, she made her
escape by marrying one of her nume-
rous suitors—only to begin the same
thing all overagain. As she stood there
brooding, she was acutely unhappy.
, There was a suden crash in the
bushes, and she turned upon a start-
ling sight. Out from the forest stag-
werédd a fine stag, its breath panting,
its eyes turned backward in a glassy
stare of terror, and behind it, running
with the effortless freedom came a
huge god-like figure clad in a torn and
faded swimming suit.
Kaspa overhauled the floundering
deer in the middle of the glade. Bel-
lowing in despair, the wretched animal
turned at bay, but Kaspa was too
quick for it. He avoided the lowered
antlers and, leaping at the beast’s
shoulders, seized it by the head and
neck and overthrew it on the grass.
He held it there helpless while he
raised leonine face to the sky and sent |
out the call of triumph and meat:
“Argh-h-h; Ee-argh-h-h!” It rolled
and echoed away into the forest, and
never had cry like that been raised
upon the shores of that northern lake.
The effect upon Madeline was elec-
trical; she was thrilled and horrified.
The wild lion-music coming from the
throat of a human being was unna-
tural and frightening, but there was
something pleahurahle and -inspiring
in the gight of that splendid figure
wrestling with its prey. It was like
some long forgotten scene when the
forest was young and naked men pur-
sued his meat, fleet and tireless as
the wolf.
Here was reality, ruthless and dis-
gusting, yet imbued with a strange
beauty. The girl found herself con-
trasting this man, hunting his meat in
the forest, with other men she knew
who hunted dollars in office and sales
room, dollars wherewith to pay men to
kill their meat for them with callous
monotony of machinery. The compar-
sion was in Kaspa’s favor. Her last
scruples were dissolved in admiration
of this man’s beauty and physical
prowess. :
The lion-man stood up, heaved the
exhausted deer tn its feet and held it
by thee horns. :
“Please don’t kill it,” called Madeline
softly. He caught sight of her stand-
ing in the shadow of the tree. She
observed that his eyes had a wild
laughing glare in them. It made her
shudder to look at him. She had never
imagined that light in human eyes.
“I was not going to kill it,” he an-
swered in a soft, deep voice, with a
purring note in it. “I have no need of
“meat.” He laughed. “My meat is pro- |
vided for me nowadays.”
“Why not keep it and tame it?” sug-
gested the girl, coming forward.
“Ah, no!” said Kaspa with a ring of
passion in his voice. “Let it be wild
and free.” He released the stag, which
went off swaying and snorting into the
forest. Madeline studied him; he to-
wered above her, the bigegst man she
had ever seen.
His curly yellow hair and the golden
down on his cheeks—for Kaspa was
careless about shaving—reminded her
of pictures of old Norse ‘warriors.

The muscles were discernible,
ropes, under his satiny skin. There
was not an ounce of useless flesh on
him, and she was amazed that he had
{looked so ungainly in chothes,
Kaspa met her gaze squarely; in
{another place he would have been awk-
|ward and shy, but here he was on his
{own ground, free, and still filled with
| the wild ardor of his long chase.
“You are Madeline Moore,” he said.
“I remember you. You are very beau-
tiful.” His eyes glowed at her, and
Madeline stepped back with a faint
cry. Kaspa laughed. “Don’t be afraid,
I won't hurt you. Do you mind my
saying that you are beautiful? Mar-
tin told me that it pleased. people to
be admired.”
Madeline echoed his laugh. “Per-
haps it does. I do not mind you telling
me I am pretty; it was the way you
looked. You are rather frightening.
you know.” She realized she had noth-
ing to fear from this man; he was
| savage, but a gentle savage. The pur-
pose of her visit rose in her mind. She
spoke quickly, for fear the opportunity

‘I want to talk to you about Africa.
| am interested in your life before you
came here.” Kaspa shook hois head
|stowly. “You would not understand,”
he murmured. :
“Why not? You think that I am like
‘the others, that I think of nothing but
'theatres and motor-cars and so on. 1
(tell you that I hate all that.” Her tone
{was vehement. }
Kaspa looked at her curiously. He
[seemed to be watching her intently.
{Then he sighed and repeated: “You
would not understand.” Madeline be-
| came impatient at his obtuseness. “Oh
(bother! she said, biting her lip. After
yall her expectations she was to be
(balked by the reticence of the man
{who could help her. “I want you to tell
me what you think of this life,“ she
said earnestly, “whether you prefer it
to the life you led. You see, we all
think is preferable to live in luxury
than to ‘rough it, except some men
who write books, and it is noticeable
[that they don’t forego the amenities
|unless they have to. I want to know
{the truth; please tell me.”
Kaspa considered her gravely. “I
like sleeping on the ground and with-
{out covering,” he said suddenly. “I
like being alone and watching the
moon rise, and I don’t like to do. any-
thing just to please someone else. I
like being afraid that I may be killea
any day. Do you understand why?—
because Martin doesn’t.”
“Why do you like being afraid you
may be killed?” she asked wondering-
ly.
“Because it keeps me from being
i dissatisfied; it is so pleasant to be
alive.”
He turned and began to walk past
her towards the lake. “So this is ‘Sun,
moon and the stars, brother, and a
wind on the heath,” said Madeline half
to herself. if
Kaspa stopped. “Who said that?”
She told him it was a gypsy and why
{he said it. ;
“He was right.” He waved his arm
towards the lake “All that is foolish-
ness,” with which sweeping assertion
him. He paused upon a rock and
stared thoughtfully at the water for a
minute. >
I don’t know about love,” said
“And love?’ called Madeline after
|Kaspe, and vanished with a splash
{into the cool pool. He came to. the
surface, took three quick strokes to
{the bank and climbed out, squeezing
[the water out of heis eyes.
| “Don’t you get lonely?” asked Made-
line, regarding with interest the rip-
‘pling muscles of his chest as he raised
and lowered his arms,
| ‘“INo,” said Kaspa, but then he re-
{membered his expulsion from the pack
and the long nights spent in solitude
‘on the Bomogo hills. He corrected
|himself: “Yes, I suppose I should be |
lonely” if <I were by 7. 1f all the

at once; at least I do. I hate the life

iwith downcast head, the picture of
dejection.
Kaspa looked at her wonderingly.
“Well, I know what I want,” he said.
“I want to go back to Africa.”
He plunged into the lake again, and
this time when he came to the sufface
he swam steadily out into the deep
water. p)

Dairy Industry
~ Making Progress
Study Of Economics Is
Secret Of League's
Prosperity
Declaring that three years ago Am-
its people might not be frightened by
the “black name of panie,” and that
now an old fashioned panic would be
regarded as evidence of prosperity,
President Fred H. Sexauer today re-
ported the Dairymen’s League C0-0p-
erative Association, Inc., had just clos-
ed a year of building constructively
and beneficially for the dairy industry
despite depression handicaps.
To achieve that success, said Mr.
Sexauer, the Dairymen’s League had to
step out of its field and milk market-
ing organization and enter the broader
sphere of economics. Among other
things, he said, the farmers’ organiza-
tion had to practically launch and
carry on a campaign for monetary re-
form to check the downward sweep of
commodity prices. It had to force a
reduction in the spread between what
producers receive for milk and what
consumers pay for it; and had to fight
a mighty railroad and financial com-
bination to acquire reductions in rail-
road freight rates on milk shipments,
Because of the Dairymen’s League
success in these endeavors and chang-
ing conditions, Mr. Sexauer, who was
assailed as a pessimist even before the
depression because of warnings he
sounded of approaching distress for
the dairy industry, today declared
himself an optimist.
“I am optimistic,” said Mr. Sexauer
addressing 2,500 members of the Dairy-
men’s League gathered here for the
annual meeting, “For three years we
have been going down hill. This year
has been the low point for members of
this organization as individuals and
for the organization itself.
“Two years ago we believed the dé-
pression would become more severe,
and that commodity prices, including
milk, would be lower, We kept in
mind the. necessity of working out a
program broader than the mere hand-
ling and selling of milk. Last year it
became evident that the Association
could not render sufficient service in
milk marketing alone to overcome the
of depression. Some other,
greater service was necessary. The
Dairymen’s League Four Point Pro-
gram was evolved. It was: 1. Raise
the price level of all commodities

| products the same purchasing power
{in terms of industrial commodities
{that they had in 1910-14; 3. Unite the
{dairy industry for the protection of
[those who are selling their commodi-
[ty in the form of milk: 4. Reduce oper=
ating costs, or the spread between pro-
[ducer and consumer, so that a larger
proportion of the consumer's = dollar
may reach the producer.” |
| Last November, said Mr. Sexauer, it
ibecame evident that price levels would
| continue to decline, that there was not
| enough uhity among dairy farmers for
| their own protection, and that even
sectional or state government action
could not cure the situation. There-
fore, hé said, the Dairymen’s League
began aggressively working for mo-
netary reform as the only practical
method of raising price levels.
The work of the Dairymen’s League
with Dr. G. F. Warren and Dr. F. A.
Pearson of Cornell University and,
other organizations finally led to the
granting of power to President Roose-
velt to change the monetary system,
|said Mr. Sexauer. Immediately com-
modity prices started to rise. ;
“No position that the Dairymen’s
League has ever taken has been more
quickly vindicated, or productive of re-
sults so definite or more beneficial”
declared Mr. Sexauer.’ Ya
In its efforts to get producers more
of the consumer's dollar, said Mr.
Sexauer, the Dairymen’s League re-
quired its dealers to absorb 453/ per-
cent of the decline when dealers’ sell-
ing prices decreased 94 cents per 100
pounds through the decline of retail
prices in New York from 12 to 10
cents. Since 1929 distributors spread
has been reduced 73 cents per 100
pounds. . X :
Mr. Sexauer told of the fierce fight
waged by the Dairymen’s League for
lower freight rates on milk shipments.
“We met opposition from the most
powerful interests, for the railroads
are closely allied with the large cen-
tral banks,” he said. “Their propagan-
da reached even into farm organiza- i
tions.” es
A reduction was finally attained to Ly
become effective, July 1, he said, and
will be reflected in August milk checks
to farmers. That benefit, he demand-
ed, comes as a result of the work of
‘the Dairymen’s League, and not from
legislation or any form of governmen-
tal control of the milk business.
