CHAPTER IX. 10 When Thieves Fall Out So the two Swedes approached the village of Kovudoo with friendly words iipon their tongues and deep craft in their hearts. Their plans were well made. There was no mention of the white prisoner. They chose to pretend that they were not aware that Kovudoo naa a mie prisoner. They exchanged gifts with the old chief, haggling with 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 thj 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 always are to Europeans. Kovudoo made no mention of his prisoner, and from his generous efforts of guides and presents seemed anxious to' assure himself of the speedy departure of his guests. I It was Malblhn 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. He fell from his horse when the beast stepped in a hole. The horse fell upon him. When his men came up the sheik was quite dead." Kovudoo scratched his head. He was much disappointed. No sheik meant no ransom for the white girl. "I know where there Is a white girl,' he said unexpectedly. "If you wish to hnv her she may be had cheap. Malbiln shrugged. "We huve trouble enough, Kovudoo," he said, "without burdening ourselves with an old, hroken down she hyena, and as for paying for one" Malbihn Bnaj.ped his fineers. 'Sh in vmms." said Kovudoo, "and good looking." The Swedes laughed. "There are no good looking white women In the Jun? gle, Kovudoo," said Jenssen. "You should be ashamed to try to make fun of old friends." Kovudoo sprang to his feet "Come, he said, "I will show you." Malblhn and Jenssen rose to follow him. and as they did so their eyes met, and Malblhn slowly dropped one of ' his lids in a sly wink. Together they followed Kovudoo toward his hut. In the dim Interior , they discerned the figure of a woman lying bound upon ' n aleenlne mat. Malbihn took a single glance and turned away. "She must be a tnou- eand years old, Kovudoo," he said as he left the hut "She Is young I" cried the savage, Tt is dark in here. You cannot see. "I She Not Both Young and Good Lookinfl7" Asked Kovudoo. . Walt. I will have her brought out In the sunlight" And'he commanded the two warriors who watched the girl to cut the bonds from her ankles and lead her forth for inspection. -i Malbihn and Jenssen evinced no eagerness, though both were fairly jburstlng with it, not to see the girl, ibut to obtain possession of her. They Icared not If she had the face of a mar imoset or the figure of pot bellied Ko vudoo himself. All that they wished Ito know was that the was the girl who hnd been stolen from the sheik several years before. They thought that they would recognize her for such If she were Indeed the same, liui even so, the testimony of the runner Kovu doo had sent to the sheik was such as to assure them that the girl was the one they had once before attempted to abduct As Meriem was brought fortn irom the darkness of the hufs Interior the two men turned, with every appear ance of disinterestedness, to glance at her. It was with difficulty that Mal blhn suppressed an ejaculation of as tonishment. The girl's beauty fairly took his breath from him, But 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 Malblhn. "T?nr. even so. she will be a burden. We did not come from the north after wives. There are more than enough thppA for us." Meriem stood looking straight at the white men. She expected nothing from them they were to nor as mutu euc mios ns the black men. She hated and feared them alt Malblhn spoke to her in Arabic , , "We are friends," he said, "wouiu ... . . i-. t. fi IV 11 7 vou lite to nave ua jv from here?" Slowlv and dimly, as though from a great distance, r.ecollectlon of the once familiar tongue returned to her. "I should like to go free," she saia, "and go back to Korak." "You would like to go with us persisted Malblhn. "No," said Meriem. Mnihlhn turned to Kovudoo. "She does not wish to go with us," he said. You are men " returned the DiaCK. "Can you not take her by force?" "It would only add to our troupes, replied the Swede. "No, Kovudoo, we do not wish her, tnougn, u you to be rid of her, we will take her away hernusfl of our friendship for you." Now, Kovudoo knew that he naa made a sale. They wanted ner. &o ne mmmenced to bargain, and In the end the person of Meriem passed from the possession of the black chieftain into thnt of the two Swedes in coasiueiu- tlon of six yards of Amerlkan, three empty brass cartridge shells ana a shinv new lackknlfe from New Jersey, And all but Meriem were more than pleased with the bargain. Kovudoo stipulated but a single con ,iit!r.n ' nnd that was that the Euro- npnns were to leave his village and take the Klrl with thera as early the next morning as they could get start ed. After the sale he did not hesitate in exnlaln his reasons for this aemanu, lie told them of strenuous attempts of the arlrl's savage mate to rescue ner, and suggested that the sooner they got her out of the country the more likely thev were to retain possession or ner, Meriem was again bound and placed under guard, but this time in the tent of the Swedes. Malbihn taiitea to ner, trying to persuade her to accompany them willingly. He told her that they rvnnW return her to .her own village, but when he discovered' that she would rnthor die than go back to tne oiu sheik he assured her that they would not take her there nor, as a mutter of fact, had they any Intention of so All that night Meriem lay listening for a signal from Korak. All about the Juugle life moved through the darkness. To her sensitive ears came sounds that the others In the camp could not hear, sounds that she lnter Dreted as we might interpret the speech of a friend, but not once came a single note that betokened the pres; ence of Korak. But she knew that he would come. Nothing short of death Itself could prevent her Korak from returning to her. What delayed him, though? When morning came again and the night had brought no succoring Korak Merlem's faith and loyalty were still unshaken, though misgivings began to assail her as to the safety of her friend. It seemed unbelievable that serious mishap could have overtaken her wonderful Korak, who dally passed unscathed through all the terrors of the Jungle, let morning came, the morning meal wag 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. - r- All that day they marched nnd ths next and the next. Nor did Korak even so much us show himself to the patient little waiter moving, silent uud stately, beside her hard captors. It was on the fourth day that Mer iem began definitely to give up hope. Something had happened to Korak. She knew it. He would never come now, and these men would take her away. Presently they wouia kui h. si,a wniiiil never see her Korak again, On this day the Swedes rested, for they had marched rapidly and their men were tired. Mulblhn und Jenssen hud gone from camp to huut, tnklufc different directions. They had been gone about an hour when the door of Merlem's tent was in-fo.i nnrt Mulhthn entered. Ills look nnrtonded no eood to the gill. Out 'in the Jungle Jenssen had brousht down two bucks. Ills hunting rriPri him far afield, nor was he nrone to permit It to do so. He was suspicious of Malblhn. The very fnct thnt his companion linu reiuseu w accompany hlra nnd elected Instead to hunt alone In another direction woum nnt. under ordinary circumstances, hnv seemed frauuht with sinister sug ration hut Jenssen knew ,muiuiiiii well, nnd so, having secured meat, he turned Immediately back toward camp while his boys brought In his kill.

Ho halted to listen, it was reneated twice. Then silence. With a muttered curse jenssen broke Into a rapid run. What a fool Malblhn was, indeed, thus to chance Jeopardizing a fortune I Further away from camp man jens sen and upon the oppo.site side an other heard Merlem's screams a stranger who was not even aware of the nroxlmity of white men otner tnan himself, a hunter with a handrui or sleek, black warriors. He, too, listened intently for a mo ment. That the voice was tnat or a woman In distress he could not doubt, and so he also hastened at a run the direction of the affrighted voice, but he was much farther away than Jenssen, so that the latter reached the tent first. What the Swede found there roused no pity within his calloused heurt, only anger against bis fellow scoundrel Meriem was fighting off her attacker, Malblhn was showering blows upon her. Jenssen, streaming foul curses upon his erstwhile friend, burst Into the tent. Malblhn, Interrupted, dropped his victim and turned to meet Jens- sen's Infuriated charge. He whipped a revolver from his hip. Jenssen, anticipating the lightning move of the other's hand, drew almost simultaneously, and both men fired at once. - Jenssen was still moving toward Malblhn at the time, but at the flash of the explosion he stopped. Els re volver dropped from nerveless fingers. For a moment he staggered drunkenly. Deliberately Malblhn put two more bullets Into his friend's body at close range. Even In the midst of the excitement and her terror Meriem found herself wondering at the tenacity of life which the hit man displayed. His eyes were closed, his "head dropped forward upon his breast, his hands hung limply before him. Yet still he stood there upon his feet, though he reeled horribly. . It was not until the third bullet had found its marlc wi,thln his body that he lunged forward upon his face. Then Malblhn approached him and, with an onth. kicked him viciously.
