Jack comes across tho Swo.do'H safari, but is repulsed. Disheartened, ho takes all tho moro to Junglo life. From a tree ho spies Mcricm. Tho sheik bents Merloni. Jack rcscuoB her and takes her to the Jungle. Attacked by Kovudoo, a black chief, Jack is wound¬ ed, and Mcricm is torn from him. Tho Swedes buy Merloni from Kovudoo. In a row over her Malhilm kills Jetissen. A man known as Hwana rescues Merloni. | CHAPTER IX. Whon Thiovos Fall Out. SO the two Swedes approached the village of Kovmfoo with friendly words upon their tongues and deep craft in their hearts. Their plans weie well made. There was 116 mention of the white prisoner. They chose to pretend that they were not aware that Kovudoo had a white prisoner. They exchanged gifts with the old chief, haggling witji his pleni¬ potentiaries over the value of what they were to receive for what they gave, as Is customary and proper when one has no ulterior motives. Unwar¬ ranted generosity would have aroused suspicion. During the palaver which followed they retailed the gossip of the villages through which they had passed, receiv¬ ing in exchange such news as Kovudoo possessed. The palaver was long and tiresome, as these native ceremonies al- y v ' arc to Envc^Ky.vAVi. Kovudoo made ik mention of his prisoner, and from his generous offers of guides and pres¬ ents seemed anxious to assure himself of the siKjedy departure of his guests. It was Malhilm who, quite casually, near the close of their talk, mentioned the fact that the sheik was dead. Kov¬ udoo evinced Interest and surprise, "You did not know it?" asked Mal- bihn. "That is strange. It was during the last moon, lie fell from his horse whon the beast stepped in a hole. The horse fell upon him. When.'lds men came up the sheik was quite dead." Kovudoo scratched Ids head. lie was much disappointed. No sheik meant no ransom for the white girl. "I know where there is a white girl," lie said unexpectedly. "If you wish to buy her she may he had cheap." Malhihn shrugged. "We have trouble enough, Kovudoo," he said, "without burdening ourselves with an old, bro¬ ken down she hyena, and as for paying for one". Midhilm snapped Ids fingers. "She Is young," said Kovudoo, "and good looking." ¦j'tie Swedes laughed. "There are no good looking while women in the jun¬ gle, Kovudoo," said Jenssen. "You should l»e ashamed to try to make fun of old friends." Kovudoo sprang to his feet* "Come." lie said. "I will show you." Malhihn and Jeussen rose to follow him, and as they did so their eyes met, and Malhihn slowly dropped one of his lids in a sly wink. Together they fol- lhwed Kovudou toward his hut. In the dim interior they discerned the llgure of a woman lying hound upon a sleeping mat. Malhihn took a single glance and turned away. "She must, be a thou¬ sand years old, Kovudoo," lie said as lie left the hut. "She is young!" cried the savage. "It is dark in here. You cannot see. Wait. I will have her brought out in the sunlight." And he commanded the two warriors who watched the girl to out the bonds from her ankles and lead hj»r forth for inspection. .Malhihn and Jenssen evinced no eagerness, though hotli were fairly bursting with it. not to see the girl, but to obtain possession of her. They cared not if she had the face of a mar¬ moset. or the figure of pot bellied Ko¬ vudoo himself. All that they wished to know was that she was the girl who had been stolen from the sheik several years before. They thought that they would recognize her for such if she wore indeed the same. Hut even so, lie testimony of the runner Kovudoo had sent to the sheik was such as to assure them that the girl was the one they had once before attempted to ab¬ duct. As Merioin was brought forth from the darkness of the hut's interior tho two men turned, with every appear¬ ance of disinterestedness, to glanco at her. It was with ditllculty that Mal¬ hihn suppressed an ejaculation of as¬ tonishment. The girl's beauty fairly took Ills breath from liiin. Hut in¬ stantly he recovered his poise and turned to Kovudoo. "Well?" he said to the old chief. "Is she not both young and good looking?" asked Kovudoo. "She is not old," replied! Malhihn. "Hut, even so, she will be a burden. We did not come from the north after wives. There are more than enough there for us." , Merieui stood looking straight. at tho white men. She expected nothing from ing7" asked Kovudoo. | i them they were to her as much ene¬ mies as the black men. She hated and feared them all. Malhihn spoke to her in Arabic. "We are friends," lie said. "Would you like to have us take you away from here?" I Slowly and dimly, as though from a great distance, recollection of tho once familiar tongue returned t «> her. "1 should like to go free," she said, "and go hack to Korak." "You would like to go with us?" per¬ sisted Malhihn. I "No," said Mcricm. j Malhihn turned to Kovudoo. "She does not wish to go with us," lie said. "You are men," returned the black. 1 "Can you not take her by force?" "It would only add to our troubles," replied the Swede. "No, Kovudoo, we do not wish her, though, if you wish lo lie lid of her, we will take her away been use of our friendship for you." I Now, Kovudoo km w that he had made a sale. They wanted her. So he commenced to barium, nnd in the end the person of Menem passed from the possession of the hluek chieftain into that of the two Swedes in consideration of six yards of Amcrikan, three cuiptv brass cartridge shells and a shiny new jackknife from New Jersey. And all but Mcriom were more than pleased with the bargain, Kovudoo stipulated but a single con¬ dition, and that was that the Kuro- cans were to leave his village and take the girl with them us early the next morning as they could get started, After the sale ho did not hesitate to explain Ids reasons for this demand. He told them of the strenuous attempt of the girl's savage mate to rescue her, and suggested that tho sooner they got her out of the country the more likely they wove Vo Vctivlu possession of her. Merieiu was iiK.iin bound and placed ( under guard, but this time in the tent of the Swedes. Malhihn talked to her, j trying to persuade her to accompany theiii willingly. lie told her that they would return her to her own village, but when he discovered that she would rather die than go back to the old sheik ho assured her that they would not take her there. nor, as a matter of fact, had they any intention of so doing. All that night Merieiu lay listening for a signal from Korak. All about the Jungle life moved through the darkness. To her sensitive ears came sounds that t lie others in the camp could not hear, sounds that she in¬ terpreted as we might interpret the speech of a friend, but not once came a single note that betokened tho pres¬ ence of Korak. Hut she knew that he would come. Nothing short of death itself could prevent her Korak from returning for her J What delayed him. though? When morning came again and the l night, had brought no succoring Korak |< Merlem's faith and loyalty wore still ! unshaken, though misgivings began assail her as to the safety of hei friend. It seemed unbelievable that serious mishap 'could have overtaken her wonderful Korak. who daily pass¬ ed unscathed through all the terrors of the jungle* Yet morning came, the morning meal was eaten, the camp broken, and the disreputable safari, of the Swedes was again on the move northward with still no sign of the rescue by Korak the girl momentarily expected. All that day they marched ami the -next and the next. Nor did Korak even so much as show himself to the patient little waiter moving, silent and stalely, beside her lwird captors. It was on the fourth day that M or¬ ient began definitely lo give up hope. Something had happened to Korak. She knew it. He would never come now, and those men would take her away. Presently they would kill her. She would never see her Korak again. .' On t his day the Swedes rested, for they had marched rapidly and their men were tired. Malhihn and Jonssen had gone from camp to hunt, taking different directions. They had been gone about an hour when the door of Mericm's tent was lifted and Malbihji entered. His look jiortendcd no good to the girl. Out in tlio jungle Jenssen had brought down two bucks. His limiting had not carried him far afield, nor was lie prone to permit it to do so. Ho was suspicious of Malhiiin. The very fact that his companion had refused to accompany him and elected instead to limit alone in another direction would not, under ordinary circum¬ stances, have seemed fraught with sin¬ ister suggest inn, lait Jenssen knew Malhilm well, and so, having secured meat, he turned immediately hack to¬ ward camp, while his hoys brought in his kill. He had covered about half the re¬ turn journey when a scream came faintly to Ids ears from the direction of camp. He halted to listen. It was repeated twice. Then silence. i Willi a muttered curse Jenssen broke | into a rapid run. What a fool Mai- j hllm was, indeed, thus to chance jeopardizing a fortune' T I. av .n u:n camp than .Ion- sst «i u..il uii. ii I In* opposite side an¬ other hoard Merloni's seroanis. a stran- i- wlio was not ovoii aware of (ho proximity of white 111011 other than himself, a huntor with a handful of sh'eU. black warriors.

Ills re¬ volver dropped front nerveless lingers. l-'or a moment ho staggered drunken- ly. Deliberately Malbihn put two more bullets into his friend's body at close range. Kvon in 1 lu> midst of tho excitement, and her terror Merloni found herself wondering at the tenacity of life which the lilt man displayed. His eyes were, closed, his head dropped forward upon his breast, his hands hung limply before him. Yet still ho stood there upon his foot, though lie reeled horribly. It was not until tho third bullet had found Its mark within his body that ho lunged forward upon his face. Then Malhihn approached him and. with an oath, kicked lilin viciously. Then ho turned once more to Merieni. At the same instant tho llaps of tho tent opened silently and a tall white man stood In the aperture. Neither Merloni or Malbihn saw the newcomer. Tho hitter's hack was toward hint, while his body hid the stranger from Merloni's eyes. lie crossed the tent quickly, step¬ ping over .lensson's body. The llrst Intimation Malbihn had was a heavy hand upon his shoulder. lit! wheeled, to face an utter stran¬ ger, a tall, black Jialrod. gray eyed stranger, clad in khaki and pitli hel¬ met. Malbihn reached for his gun But at tho Flash of the Explosion Ho Stopped. again, but another hand had boon quicker than Ids. and ho saw the weapon tossed lo the ground at the side or tho tent. out of reach. "What is the moaning of this?" Tho stranger addressed his question to Me- riem in a tongue she did not under¬ stand. She shook her head and spoke in Arable, instantly the man changed ids question to that language. "These men are taking me away from Korak," panted the girl. "This one would have harmed me. The other, whom he has just killed, tried to stop him. They were both very had men, but this one is the worse. If my Korak were here he would' kill him. I sup¬ pose you are like them, so you will not kill him." The stranger smiled. "lie deserves killing," he said. "There is no doubt of that. Once. I should have killed him, but not. now. I will see, though, tlmt he does not bother you any more." lie was holding Malhihn in a grasp the giant Swede could not break, though he struggled to do so, and he was holding .him ns easily as Malhihn might have held a little child, yet Mal- bihn was a huge man, mightily thewed. Tho Swede began to rage and curse, lie struck at his captor, only to ho twisted ahead and held at arms' length. Then he shouted to his boys to come and kill the stranger. Tn response a dozen strange hlncks fentercd the tent. They, too, were pow¬ erful, clean llinhed men, not at all llko the mangy crew that followed tho Swedes. "We have had enough toolishnoss," said tho stranger to Malhihn "You de¬ serve death, but I am not the law. 1 know now who you are. I have heard of you before. Yon and your friend boar a most unsavory reputation. We do not want you in our country. I shall lot you go 'this time, but should you over return I shall take tho law into my own hands. Now, get out, and next time you see mo remember who I am," and he spoke a name in tho Swede's car. a name that more effec¬ tually subdued the scoundrel than many beatings. Then ho gave him a push that carried him bodily through tho tent doorway, to sprawl upon the turf beyond. "Now," he said, turning toward Mo- riem. "who has the key to this thing about your neck?" The girl pointed to Jenssen's body, "lie carried it always," she said. The stranger searched the clothing on the corpse until lie came upon the key. A moment more Merlein was free "Will yon let me go back in m\ Ko¬ rak?" she as!;«'il '"I will see Hint yon nro returned to your people." llio stranger roplietl. "Who are they. and where Is their vil¬ la go?" lie had boon eyeing bor s trim go, bar¬ baric garment tire wouderlngly From her speeob she was evidently nil Arab girl, but he lia<1 never before seen one thus clothed "Who are your people?

She had al¬ ways thus pronounced Akut's name, for so it had sounded to her when first she came will) Korak and the ape. A questioning expression entered the stranger's eyes, lie looked at the girl closely. "So Korak is nn ape?" lie said. "And what. pray, are you?" "I am Merloni. I also am an ape." "M'iu," was the stranger's only oral comment upon this startling announce¬ ment But what he thought might have been partially Interpreted through the pitying light that entered his eyes, lie approached the girl and started to lay his hand upon her forehead. She drew back with n savage littio growl. A smile touched his lips. "You need not fear inc." he said. "I shall not harm you. I only wish to discover if you have fever. If you are entirely well. If you are we will set forth in sea vch of Korak." CHAPTER X. Korak's Voncieanco. MKKIK>. looked straight Into the Keen gray eyes.

CHAPTER IX.Whon Thiovos Fall Out.

SO the two Swedes approached thevillage of Kovmfoo with friendlywords upon their tongues and

deep craft in their hearts.Their plans weie well made. There

was 116 mention of the white prisoner.They chose to pretend that they werenot aware that Kovudoo had a whiteprisoner. They exchanged gifts withthe old chief, haggling witji his pleni¬potentiaries over the value of whatthey were to receive for what theygave, as Is customary and proper whenone has no ulterior motives. Unwar¬ranted generosity would have arousedsuspicion.During the palaver which followed

they retailed the gossip of the villagesthrough which they had passed, receiv¬ing in exchange such news as Kovudoopossessed. The palaver was long andtiresome, as these native ceremonies al-

y v ' arc to Envc^Ky.vAVi. Kovudoo madeik mention of his prisoner, and fromhis generous offers of guides and pres¬ents seemed anxious to assure himselfof the siKjedy departure of his guests.It was Malhilm who, quite casually,

near the close of their talk, mentionedthe fact that the sheik was dead. Kov¬udoo evinced Interest and surprise,"You did not know it?" asked Mal-

bihn. "That is strange. It was duringthe last moon, lie fell from his horsewhon the beast stepped in a hole. Thehorse fell upon him. When.'lds mencame up the sheik was quite dead."Kovudoo scratched Ids head. lie was

much disappointed. No sheik meant noransom for the white girl."I know where there is a white girl,"

lie said unexpectedly. "If you wish tobuy her she may he had cheap."Malhihn shrugged. "We have trouble

enough, Kovudoo," he said, "withoutburdening ourselves with an old, bro¬ken down she hyena, and as for payingfor one". Midhilm snapped Ids fingers."She Is young," said Kovudoo, "and

good looking."¦j'tie Swedes laughed. "There are no

good looking while women in the jun¬gle, Kovudoo," said Jenssen. "Youshould l»e ashamed to try to make funof old friends."Kovudoo sprang to his feet* "Come."

lie said. "I will show you."Malhihn and Jeussen rose to follow

him, and as they did so their eyes met,and Malhihn slowly dropped one of hislids in a sly wink. Together they fol-lhwed Kovudou toward his hut. Inthe dim interior they discerned thellgure of a woman lying hound upon asleeping mat.Malhihn took a single glance and

turned away. "She must, be a thou¬sand years old, Kovudoo," lie said aslie left the hut."She is young!" cried the savage.

"It is dark in here. You cannot see.Wait. I will have her brought out inthe sunlight." And he commanded thetwo warriors who watched the girl toout the bonds from her ankles and leadhj»r forth for inspection..Malhihn and Jenssen evinced no

eagerness, though hotli were fairlybursting with it. not to see the girl,but to obtain possession of her. Theycared not if she had the face of a mar¬moset. or the figure of pot bellied Ko¬vudoo himself. All that they wishedto know was that she was the girl whohad been stolen from the sheik severalyears before. They thought that theywould recognize her for such if shewore indeed the same. Hut even so,

( lie testimony of the runner Kovudoohad sent to the sheik was such as toassure them that the girl was the onethey had once before attempted to ab¬duct.As Merioin was brought forth from

the darkness of the hut's interior thotwo men turned, with every appear¬ance of disinterestedness, to glanco ather. It was with ditllculty that Mal¬hihn suppressed an ejaculation of as¬tonishment. The girl's beauty fairlytook Ills breath from liiin. Hut in¬stantly he recovered his poise andturned to Kovudoo."Well?" he said to the old chief."Is she not both young and good

looking?" asked Kovudoo."She is not old," replied! Malhihn.

"Hut, even so, she will be a burden.We did not come from the north after

wives. There are more than enoughthere for us." ,

Merieui stood looking straight. at thowhite men. She expected nothing from

them they were to her as much ene¬mies as the black men. She hated andfeared them all. Malhihn spoke to herin Arabic."We are friends," lie said. "Would

you like to have us take you away fromhere?" ISlowly and dimly, as though from a

great distance, recollection of tho oncefamiliar tongue returned t «> her."1 should like to go free," she said,

"and go hack to Korak.""You would like to go with us?" per¬

sisted Malhihn. I"No," said Mcricm. jMalhihn turned to Kovudoo. "She

does not wish to go with us," lie said."You are men," returned the black. 1

"Can you not take her by force?""It would only add to our troubles,"

replied the Swede. "No, Kovudoo, wedo not wish her, though, if you wishlo lie lid of her, we will take her awaybeen use of our friendship for you." INow, Kovudoo km w that he had

made a sale. They wanted her. So hecommenced to barium, nnd in the endthe person of Menem passed from thepossession of the hluek chieftain intothat of the two Swedes in considerationof six yards of Amcrikan, three cuiptvbrass cartridge shells and a shiny newjackknife from New Jersey.And all but Mcriom were more than

pleased with the bargain,Kovudoo stipulated but a single con¬

dition, and that was that the Kuro-cans were to leave his village and take

the girl with them us early the nextmorning as they could get started,After the sale ho did not hesitate toexplain Ids reasons for this demand.He told them of the strenuous attemptof the girl's savage mate to rescue her,and suggested that tho sooner they gother out of the country the more likelythey wove Vo Vctivlu possession of her.Merieiu was iiK.iin bound and placed

( under guard, but this time in the tentof the Swedes. Malhihn talked to her,

j trying to persuade her to accompanytheiii willingly. lie told her that theywould return her to her own village,but when he discovered that she wouldrather die than go back to the old sheikho assured her that they would not takeher there.nor, as a matter of fact, hadthey any intention of so doing.All that night Merieiu lay listening

for a signal from Korak. All aboutthe Jungle life moved through thedarkness. To her sensitive ears camesounds that t lie others in the campcould not hear, sounds that she in¬terpreted as we might interpret thespeech of a friend, but not once camea single note that betokened tho pres¬ence of Korak. Hut she knew that hewould come. Nothing short of deathitself could prevent her Korak fromreturning for her

J What delayed him. though?When morning came again and the

l night, had brought no succoring Korak|< Merlem's faith and loyalty wore still

! unshaken, though misgivings began t«assail her as to the safety of heifriend. It seemed unbelievable thatserious mishap 'could have overtakenher wonderful Korak. who daily pass¬ed unscathed through all the terrors ofthe jungle* Yet morning came, themorning meal was eaten, the campbroken, and the disreputable safari, ofthe Swedes was again on the movenorthward with still no sign of therescue by Korak the girl momentarilyexpected.

All that day they marched ami the-next and the next. Nor did Korakeven so much as show himself to thepatient little waiter moving, silent andstalely, beside her lwird captors.

It was on the fourth day that M or¬ient began definitely lo give up hope.Something had happened to Korak.She knew it. He would never comenow, and those men would take heraway. Presently they would kill her.She would never see her Korak again.

.' On t his day the Swedes rested, forthey had marched rapidly and theirmen were tired. Malhihn and Jonssenhad gone from camp to hunt, takingdifferent directions.They had been gone about an hour

when the door of Mericm's tent waslifted and Malbihji entered. His lookjiortendcd no good to the girl.Out in tlio jungle Jenssen had brought

down two bucks. His limiting had notcarried him far afield, nor was lieprone to permit it to do so. Ho wassuspicious of Malhiiin. The very factthat his companion had refused toaccompany him and elected insteadto limit alone in another directionwould not, under ordinary circum¬stances, have seemed fraught with sin¬ister suggest inn, lait Jenssen knewMalhilm well, and so, having securedmeat, he turned immediately hack to¬ward camp, while his hoys brought inhis kill.He had covered about half the re¬

turn journey when a scream camefaintly to Ids ears from the directionof camp. He halted to listen. It wasrepeated twice. Then silence.

stranger addressed his question to Me-riem in a tongue she did not under¬stand. She shook her head and spokein Arable, instantly the man changedids question to that language."These men are taking me away from

Now, get out, andnext time you see mo remember who Iam," and he spoke a name in thoSwede's car.a name that more effec¬tually subdued the scoundrel than manybeatings. Then ho gave him a pushthat carried him bodily through thotent doorway, to sprawl upon the turfbeyond."Now," he said, turning toward Mo-

riem. "who has the key to this thingabout your neck?"The girl pointed to Jenssen's body,
