'At the same instnnt the flaps of the
tent opened silently and a tall white
man stood in the aperture. Neither
Meriem or Malbihn saw the newcom
"er. The letter's back was toward him,
while his body hid the stranger from
Meriem's eye.
He crossed the tent quickly, step
ping over Jenssen's body. The first
intimation Malbihn had was a heavy
hand upon his shoulder.
He wheeled, to face an utter stran
. ger, a tall, black haired, gray eyed
stranger, clad In khaki and pith hel
met. Malbihn reached for his gun
gam, DUt another hand had been
quicker than his, and he saw the
weapon tossed to the ground at the
side of the tent out of reach.
t "What Is the meaning of this?" The
stranger addressed his question to
Meriem In a tongue she did not under
stand. She shook her head and spoke
iu Araoic. instantly the man changed
his question to that language.
"These men are taking me away
from Korak," panted the girl. "This
one would have harmed me. The oth
er, who he has just killed, tried to stop
him. They were both wrv h.wi mr.
but this one is the worse. If my Korak
were here he would kill him. I sup
pose you are ute them, so you will not
mu mm."
ine stranger smiled. "He deserves
Kiuing," he said. "There is no doubt
or that. Once I should have killed him,
but now not. I will see, though, that
ue aoes not bother you any more."
He was holding Malbihn in a grasp
me giant swede could not break,
though he struggled to do so, and he
was holding him as easily as Malbihn
might have held a little child, yet Mal
bihn was a huge man, mightily thewed.
The Swede began to rage and curse.
He struck at his captor," only to be
twisted about and held at arrt's length.
Then he shouted to his boys to come
and kill the stranger.
In response a dozen strange blacks
entered the tent. They, too, were pow
erful, clean limbed men, not at all
1 like the mangy crew that followed the
, oweaes.
"We have had enough foolishness,"
said the stranger to Malbihn,. "You
deserve death, but I am not the law.
I, know now who you are. I have
'heard of you before. You and your
friend bear a most unsavory reputa
tion. We do not want you in our coun
try, I shall let you go this time, but
should you ever return I shall tnk tho I
law into my own hands. Now, get out,
and next time you see me remember
who I am," and he snoke a nnm in
the Swede's ear a name that more
eneetually subdued the scoundrel than
many beatings. Then he gave him
push that carried him bodiiv thron:
the tent doorway, to sprawl upon the
inn Deyond.
"Now," he said, turning toward Mer
iem, who has the key to this thin
about your neck?"
The girl pointed to Jenssen's body,
ne earn en it always," she said.
The stranger searched the clothing
, on the corpse until he came upon the
Key. a moment more Meriem was
rree.
"Will you let me go back to my Ko-
ran( ; sne asked.
"I will see that you are returned to
your people," the stranger replied.
v no are iney, and where is their vil
lage?" He had been eyeing her strange, bar
baric garmenture wonderingly. From
her speech she was evidently an Arab
girl, but he had never before seen one
thus clothed. . . '
. "Who are.your people? Who is Ko
rak?" he asked again.
"Korak! Why, Korak is an ape. I
have no other people. Korak and I
live in the Jungle alone since A'ht
went io ,Ring of the apes." She had
always thus pronounced Akut's name,
for so it had sounded to her when first
Bne came with Korak and the one.
A questioning expression entered the
stranger's eyes. He looked at the girl
closely.
"So Korak ia an ape?" he said. "And
what, pray, are you?"
, "I am Meriem. I also am an ape." '
"M'm," 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 pvpj
He approached the girl and started to
lay his hand upon her forehead. She
drew back with a savage little growl.

"You need not fear me," he said. "I

many years ago, and Korak came and
took me from my father, who was
beating me. Since then I have lived
in the trees with Korak and A'ht."
"Where in the Jungle lives Korak?"
asked the stranger.
Meriem pointed with a sweep of her
hand that took in, generously, half the
continent of Africa.
"Could you find your way back to
him?"
"I do not know," she renlied. "hut
he will find his way to me."

as not so j
Meriem thought that It was so, but
she did not like the Idea of not stnri--
ing immediately back to meet Korak.
On the other hand, the. man had no
intention of permitting this poor, in
sane child to wander further amid the
dangers of the jungle. Whence she
had come or what she had unden?nm
no coma not guess, but that her Korak
and their life among the apes was but
a figment of -a disordered mind he
could not doubt.
He knew the jungle well, and he
knew that men had lived alone and
naked among the savage beasts for
years, Dut a frail and slender trlrll

Korak's Vengeance.
Meriem looked straight into the keen
gray eyes. She must have found there
an unquestionable assurance of the
honorableness of their owner, for she
permitted him to lay his palm upon
her forehead and feel her pulse. Ap
parently she had no fever.
"How long have you been an ape?"

men were very bad men. Thev did

Bwana, to kill the other."
"I wish that I might, but a new Tnw

It Is not as it was in the old dav. Mu-
vlri," replied the master.
The stranger remained until Malbihn
and his safari had disappeared into
ui9 jungle toward the north. Meriem.
trustful now, stood at his side. Geeka
clutched in one slim, brown hand.
They talked together, the man won
dering at the faltering Arabic of the
girl, but attributing it finally to her
uerective mentality. Could he have
known that years had elapsed since;
sne naa used it until she was taken
by the Swedes, he would not have
wondered that she had half forgot
ten it.
There was yet another reason why
the language of the sheik had thus
readily eluded her, but of that reason
she herself could not have guessed the
trutn any better than could the man.
He tried to persuade her to return
with him to his "village," as he called
it, or "douar" in Arabic, but she was
insistent upon searching immediately
ror liorak. As a last resort he deter
mined to take her with him by force
rather than sacrifice her llfeo the in
sane hallucination which haunted her
But, being a wise man, he determined
to humor her first and then attenmt to
lead her as he would have her go.
So when they took up their march
it was in the direction of the south,
though his own ranch lay almost due
east.
By degrees he turned the direction
of their way more and more eastward.
and greatly was he pleased to note
that the girl failed to .discover that
any change was being made.
Little by little she became more
trusting. At first she had had but her
intuition to guide her belief that this
big Tarmangani meant her no harm,
but as the days passed and she saw
s oetter thus, little one. You will be
safer with us and you will be happier."
Meriem laughed. "The jungle," she
said, "is my father and my mother. I
do not fear the jungle. I love it. I

But your douar Is close beside the

"Good!" said the man, and he led
the way down toward the (lower-covered
bungalow behind which lay the
barns and outhouse of a well-ordered
African farm.

her, and when her brief story had been
narrated and the woman came and put
her arms about her and kissed her and
called her "poor little darling" some
thing snapped In Meriem's heart.
fcne buried her face on the bosom of
this new friend, In whose voice was
the mother tone that Mori w f
heard for so many years that she had
forgotten its very existence. She burled
her face on the kindly bosom and wept
ns she had not wept before in all her
liis tears or relief and joy that she
could not' fathom.
And so came Meriem, the savage lit
tle Mangani, out of her beloved jungle
into the midst of a home of culture
and refinement. Already "Bwana" and
my dear," as she first heard them
called and continued to call them, were
as father and mother to her.
Once her savaje fears were allayed
ane went to the opposite extreme of

willing to wait here until they found

not give up that thought. Korak, her
