CHAPTER VII Continued.
A year had passed since the white
men had fired upon the lad and driven
him back Into the Jungle to take up
his search for the only remaining crea
tures to whom he might look for com
panionshipthe great apes. For
months the two had wandered east

The year had done much for the boy

to thews of steel, developing his wood

instincts and training him In the use

tto hnii become at last a creature of
marvelous physical powers and mental
cunning. He was still but a boy, yet
so great was bis strength that the
powerful anthropoid with which he
f ten enquired In mimic battles was
no match for him. Akut naa laugui
him to fight as the bull ape fights, nor
ever was there a teacher better fitted
to Instruct In the savage warfare of
primordial man or a pupil better
equipped to profit by the lessons o! a
master.
As the two searched for a band oi
the almost extinct species of ape to
whlch Akut belonged they lived upon
ithe best the jungle afforded. Antelope
and zebra fell to the boy's spear or
Iwere dragged down by the two power
ful beasts of prey, who leaped upon
ithem from some overhanging limb or
from the ambush of the undergrowth
beside the trail to the water hole or
the ford.
i Akut and Jack, now called Korak In
;the ape language, were moving slowly
down the wind, and warily, because
ithe advantage was with whatever
iheast mleht chance to be hunting
lahead of them, where their scent' Spoor
was belne borne by "the light Dreeze
Suddenly the two halted simultaneous
ly. Two heads- were cocked upon one
side. Like creatures hewn from solid
rock they stood Immovable, listening.
Nt- p tnnsrlp nulvered.
For several seconds they remained
thus. Then Korak advanced cautiously
a feW yards and leaped nimbly Into
tree. Akut followed close upon his
heels, either had made a sound that
would have been appreciable to hu
man ears at a dozen paces.
Stopping often to listen, they crept
forward through the trees. That both

were greatly puzzled was apparent
from the questioning .looks they cast
no onnther from time to time.
I Finally the lad caught a glimpse of
a palisade a hundred yards aneao aim
beyond it the tops of some goat skin
tents and a number of thatched huts,
ni. ltn uncurled In a savage snarl.
Blacks! How he hated them! He
signed to Akut to remain where he
he advanced to reconnolter.
- He heard a voice beyond the pali

closure at the very point from which
the voice came. Into tms j.ora .-yj.
TTIa. null' WAS ready in ,his hand,
His ears told him of the proximity of
i,nmBn helnif. All that his eyes re-
him his target; then, lightning-like,
the missile would fly to its goal.
With raised spear he crept among
the branches of the tree, glaring down
ward. In search of the owner of the
voice which ro3e to him from below.
At last he saw a human back. The
'spear hand flew to the limit of the
throwing position to gatner me iorce
that would send the iron shod missile
completely through the body of the un
conscious victim. And then the Killer
paused. He leaned "forward a little to
get a better view of the target.
He lowered his spear cautiously that
It might make no noise by scraping
niralnst foliage or branches. Quietly
he crouched in a comfortable position
olone a ereat limb, and there he lay
with wide eves, looking down In won
der upon the creature he had crepU
upon to kill looking aown upon a ui
ti Piri. r little nut brown maiden.
Korak wondered what the girl would
do were he to drop suddenly from the
tr to her side. Most likely she would
scream and run away, 'inen woum
tho men of the village with
ooora and trans and set upon him.
They would either kill him or drive
him away.
A lump rose in the boy's throat He
rrnvpri the comDanlonshlp of his own
kind, though he hardly realized how
greatly. He would have iiKea io any
Hnwn hsside her." though he knew from
the words he had overheard that she
spoke a language with which he was
unfamiliar. "
At last he hit upon a plan. He
would attract her attention and reas
sure her by a smiling greeting from a
greater distance.' Silently he wormed
his way back into the tree. It was his
intention to hail her fiom beyond the
palisade, giving her the feeling of se
curity which he imagined the stout
barricade would afford.
He had scarcely left his position In
the tree when his attention was at
tracted by a considerable noise upon
the opposite side of the village. By
moving a little he could see the gate
at the far end of the main street.
A number of men, women and chil
dren were running toward it It swung
open, revealing the head of a caravan

motly organization black slaves and
dark hued Arabs of the northern des-
ratnff camel drivers urging on
their vicious charges; overburdened
donkeys, waving sadly pendulous ears
while they endured with stole patience
the brutalities of their masters ; goats,
Into the village they all trooped be
hind a tail, sour old man, who rode,
without greetings to those who shrank
from his path, directly to a large goaf

"She will accompany us," said K.0-

Akut shrugged. To be burdened by
the young of man was ln no way to
his liking. He could see from her evi

branch and from the terrified glances
she cast in his direction that she was
hopelessly unfit.
By all the ethics of Akut's training

Varieties of Oysters,
We do not distinguish many differ
ent kinds of oysters when we eat
them, and yet there are, It Is said, be
tween 350 and 400 varieties of oysters
In the world. Among - the, smallest
known is that which the , people of
England, France and Germany usually
eat the oysters dug ln the neighbor
hood of Ostend, ln Belgium. The larg
put ovsters are those of the Pacific
ocean and the Philippine Islands. Ordi
nary oysters of choice varieties, trans
planted from the Atlantic coast to the
Pacific, have been found to develop
Into great size, but to lose their flavor
to such an extent that they became
scarcely, eatable.
