sclous to the ground. Without n back-
ward look Meriem turned and fled Into
the open.
Several of the blacks saw her and
tried to Intercept her flight, but the
menace of the harmless weapon kept
theiu at a distance.
And .so she won beyond the encir-
cling boma and dlsAppeared Into the
Jungle to the south.
Straight Into tho branches of a tree
she went, true to the arboreal Instincts
of the little Manganl she had been, and
there she stripped off her riding skirt,
her shoes nnd her stockings, for she
knew that she had before her a Jour-
ney and a flight which would not brook
the burden of these garments.
| She hit not gone far before she enm-
| tnenced to reallr-e how slight were her
chances for survival without means of
defense or a weapon to bring down
meat. Why hnd sl>- not thought to
strip 'he cartridge belt from Malblhn's
will-' before «he had left his tent?
With cartridges for the revolver she
might hope to bag small game and to
protect herself from all but the most
ferocious of the enemies that would
beset her way back to the beloved
hearthstone of Bwana aud My Dear.
With the thought came determina-
tion to return and( obtain the coveted
ammunition. She' realized that she
was taking great chances of recupture.
But without means of defense und of
obtaining meat she felt that she could
never hope to reach safety. And so
she turned her face back toward the
camp from which she had but Just es-
caped.
She thought Mnlblhn dead, so ter-
rific a blow had she dealt blui. and she
hoped to find an opportunity after dark
to enter the camp and search his tent
for the cartridge belt. But scarcely
had she found a hiding place In a greut
tree at the edge of the bomu, where
she could watch without danger of be-
ing discovered, than she saw the
Swede emerge from his tent, wiping
blood from his face and hurling u vol-
ley of oaths and questions at his terri-
fied followers.
Shortly after the entire camp set
forth in search of her, aud when Me-
riem was positive that all were gone
she descended from her hiding place
aud ran quickly across the clearing to
Malbihn's tent. A hasty survey of the
Interior revealed no ammunition, but
In one corner wus a box In which were
packed the Swede's personal belong-
ings that he bad sent along by his
head man to this westerly camp.
Meriem seized upon the receptacle
us the possible container of extra am-
munition. Quickly she loosed the cords
Fhat held the canvas covering about
the box und a uioiuyit later bad raised
the lid and was rummaging through
the heterogeneous uccumulation of
odds aud ends within.
There were letters and papers and
cuttings from old newspapers, and
amoug other things the photograph of
a little girl upon the back of which
was pasted a clipping frotn u l'urls
dally, u clipping that she had no time
to read, yellowed aud dimmed by age
aud handling. But something ubout
the photograph of the little girl w hlch
wus also reproduced In the newspuper
clipping held her attention.
Where had she seen that picture be-
fore? Aud then, quite suddenly. It
came to her that this was a picture
of herself, taken yeurs and years be-
fore!
Where bad it been taken? How
had It come Into the possession of this
man? Why had It been reproduced In
a newspaper? What was the story
thut the faded type told of it?
Meriem was baffled by the puzzle
that her search for ammunition had re-
vealed. She stood gazlug ut the faded
photograph for a time and then
thought herself of the ammunition for
which she had come. Turning again to
the box, she ruiuiuuged to the bottom,
aud there In a corner she came upon a
little box of cartridges.
A single glance assured her that
they were intended for the weapon she
hail thrust Inside the band of her rid-
ing breeches, and, slipping them Into
her pocket, she turned once more for
uu examination of the baffling likeness
of herself thut she held In her hand.
As she stood thus In vain endeuvor
to fathom this inexplicable mystery the
sound of voices broke upon her ears.
Instuntly she was all alert. They were
coming closer. A second Intel she rec-
ognized the lurid profanity of the
Swede. Mulblhn was returning !
She thrust the photograph Into her
waist. Quickly the slipped a cartridge
Into each of the chambers of the re-
volver. Then she backed toward the
end of the tent, keeping the entrance
covered by her weapon.
The men stopped outside, and Me-
riem could hear Mulblhn profanely Is-
suing Instructions. He wus u long time
about It, and while he tulked In his
bellowing, brutish voice the girl sought
some avenue of escape.
Stooping, she rulsed the bottom of
the canvas and looked beneath nnd be-
yond. There was no one In sight upou
that side. Throwing herself upon her
stomach, she wormed beneath the tent
wall Just as Malblhn, with a final word
to his men, entered the tent.
Meriem heard him cross the floor,
and then she rose and, stooping low,
ran to a native hut directly behind.
Once Inside this she turned and
glanced back. There was no one In
sight. She had not been seen.
And now from Malblhn's tent she
heurd a great cursing. The Swede had
discovered the rifling of his box. He
was shouting to his men, uud as she
henrd them reply Merlein darted from
the hut and ran toward the edge of
the boina farthest from Malblhn's tent.
Two minutes' start of any pursuers
was all Meriem cored for. Once In the
trees she knew that she could outdis-
tance and elude them.
Her hopes were high. They could
not overtake her now; she had had too
good a start of them 1
There was a smile on her lips as she
dropped to the ground to cross a little
cleurlng where once hnd stood a na-
tive village surrounded by Its fields.
The huts still stood In ruins.
The deserted huts were to her all the
better because they were deserted. She
did not see the keen eyes watching
her from a dozen points, from tum-
bling doorways, from behind tottering
granaries. In utter unconsciousness of
Impending dunger she started up the
village street because it offered the
clearest puthway to the Jungle.

man Just ahead of him stopped too.
"We are almost there, Bwuna," he
said. There v as awe anil respect in
his tone and manner..
The white man nodded and motioned
his ebon guide forward once more. It
was the Hon. Morlson Baynes. the fas-
tidious, the exquisite, liis face and
hands were scratched and smeared
with dried blood from the wounds ha
had come by In thorn and thicket. Ills
clothes were tatters. But through the
blood and the dirt and the rags a new
Baynes shone forth—a handsomer
Baynes than the dandy and fop of
yore.
As the two forged ahead toward their
goal they were startled by a volley of
shots ahead of them. Then came a
few scattering reports, some savage
yells and silence.
Baynes was frantic In his endeavors
to advance more rapidly, but here the
Jungle seemed a thousandfold more
tangled than before. A dozen times
he gripped nnd fell. Twice the blnck
followed a blind trail, and they were
forced to retrace their steps, but at last
they came out Into n little clearing
near the big afl. a clearing thut once
had held a thriving village, but now
lay desolate In decay and ruin.
In the Jungle vegetation that over-
grew what had once b*en the main
village street lay the body of n black
man, pierced through the heart with
bullet and still warm. Baynes and h
companion looked about In all direc-
tions, but no sign of n living being
could they discover. They stood In si-
lence. listening intently.
What wus that? Voices and the dip
of paddles out upon the river?
Baynes ran across the dead village
toward the fringe of Jungle upon the
river's brim. The black was at his
side. Together they forced their waj

through the screening foliage until they
could obtain a view of the river, and
there, almost to the other shore, they
saw Malblhn's canoes making rapidly
for camp.
The black recognized his companions
immediately.
"How enn we cross?" asked Baynes.
The black shouk his head. There
was no canoe, and the crocodiles made
