CHAPTER XIV Continued 16 "Here we are at Inst," said Hanson. He drew his revolver and fired lu the air, Instantly the camp across the riv er was astir. Black nieu ran down to the river's bank. Hanson hulled them, But tliere was no sign of the Hon, Morlson Barnes. K' In accordance with their master's In structions the blacks manned o canoe and rowed across. Hanson placed Me- riem In the little craft and entered it himself, leaving two boys to watch the horses- which the canoe was to return for and swim across to the camp side of the river. Once in the camp Meriem asked for Bavnes. For the moment her fears had been allayed by the sight of the .amr, which she'Siad come to look VU"Jf . -- imon as more or less of a myth, nan- - son pointed toward the single tent that stood in the center of the inclosure. "There," he said, and preceded her toward it At the entrance he held the flap aside and motioned her within, vinriom enteral and looked about. The tent was empty. sho tiirnpd toward Hanson. There wbs n hrond crln on his" face.. ia Mr. Bnvnes?" she de manded. V v "He ain't here," replied ; Hanson. "Leastwise I don't see him, do you? But I'm here, and I'm a better man than that thing ever was. You f don't rood Mm no more you got me," and he laughed uproariously and reached .for her. , s ' Meriem was looking full Into his face as she fought lor freedom when there . came over her a sudden recollection of a similar scene in which she had been a participant and with it full recogni tion of her assailant, , He was the Swede Milblhn, who had attacked her once before, who had shot his compan ion, who would have saved her and from whom she had been rescued by. Bwana. '''.!' His smooth face had deceived her, bnt now. with the growing beard and the similarity of conditions, recogni tion came swift and sure. ' But today there would be no Bwana to save her I As Meriem struggled with Malbihn Jhnne died within her. She did not utter a sound, for she knew that there wna nnne to. come to her assistance, and, besides, the Jungle training of her earlier life had taught her the futility nf nrmpntti for succor in the savage wnrlrl of her uDbringing. ' ' But as she fought to free herself one nri rnmp. In contact with the butt . of Malblhn's revolver where it rested In the holster at his ip. Slowly her Anders encircled the coveted prize and drew it from Ub resting place. She leveled It at blu breast, but the ham " mer fell futilely upon an empty cham- Fnr ft moment shei'eluded Malbihn and ran toward the entrance to the tent, but at the very doorway his heavy honri fell nnon her shoulders ana Drug ged her back. Wheeling upon him with the f urv of a wounded lioness, Meriem rrncnprt the lone revolver by the bar- ermines it hieh above her head and crashed it down full in Malbihn' With an oath of pain and rage the man staggered backward, releasing his hold upon her, and then sanic uncon She thoueht Malbihn dead, so ter rific a blow had she dealt him, and she hoped to find an opportunity alter uars to enter the camp and search his tent fop the cartridge belt. But scarcely had she found a hiding place in a great tree at the. edge of the boma, wnere she could watch without danger of be ing discovered, man sue suw Swede emerge from his tent, wipmi, blood from his face and hurling a vol a o tho tnn fnreod iiheitd toward their goal they were startled by a volley of shots ahead of them.

Meriem seized upon the receptacle as the possible container of extra am munition. Quickly she loosed the cords thnt held the canvas cov the box and a moment later had raised the lid and was rummaging through the heterogeneous accumulation or odds and ends within, There were fetters and papers and cuttings from old newspapers, and among other things the photograph of a little girl upon the back of which was pasted a clipping from a Paris daily, a clipping that she had no time to read, yellowed and dimmed by age on hnndline. But something about the photograph of the little girl which was also reproduced in the newspaper clipping held her attention.. ; Where had she seen that picture De- fore? And then, quite suuueniy, iw came to her that this was a picture of herself, taken years and years before! Where had it been taken? How had it come into the possession of this man? Why had it been reproduced in newsDaper? What was e story that the faded type told of It? Meriem was baffled by the puzzle that her search for ammunition had re vealed. Shejstood gazing at the faded rrnnii fnp n time and then be- jiuvu'b.uy" - thought herself of the ammunition iur which she had come, lurmug usuu w the box, she rummaged to the bottom, and there In a corner she came upon a little box of cartridges. , A single t elance assured her that they were Intended for the weapon she had thrust inside the band of her rid ing breeches, and, slipping tnem into her pocket, she turned once more for an examination of the baffling likeness of herself that she held In her nana.

For unnumbered centu rles these Insects have been an occa lil r4nmlilf.riihli. tuirt of the diet of millions of people In Severn parts of the world, nnd If ever those people hear of the Johns Hopkins man exploit they will smile superiorly ami wonder at .the beliite-miess or rus au daclty. The history of John tne nap tlst Is not the only recorded Instance in which empirical persons have antl clpnted the scientist. Of course, locusts are edible ; so are hundreds of other Inserts thousands of them, probably nnd It might not be at all Injudicious at this time, when so much of the world's population is coins: hungry, It more attention were bestowed on what Is, after all, th largest of new food sources. Still, the locusts in this country are not In much danger as n result of the professor revelation, even though he docs uy that they taste like shrimp. Malbihn Dropped His Rifle and Clutch ed Frantically at His Breast through the screening f olfnge until they could obtain a view of the river, and there, almost to the pther shore, they saw Malblhn's canoes making rapidly for camp. The black recognized his companions immediately. ' "How can we cross?" asked Baynes, The black shook his head. There to'fathom this inexplicable mystery the was no canoe, and the crocodiles made sound of voices broke upon her ears. lt equivalent to suicide to enter the i water in an attempt to swim across. Just then the fellow chanced to glance downward. Beneath him, wedged among the branches of a tree, lay a canoe. 7 The negro grasped Baynes' arm and pointed toward his find. The Hon. Morlson could scarce repress a shout of exultation. Quickly the two slid down the drooping branches Into the boat. The black seized the paddle, and Baynes shoved them out from beneath the tree. A second later the-canoe shot out upon the bosom of the river and headed toward the opposite shore and the camp of the Swede. Baynes squatted in the bow, strain ing his eyes after the men pulling the other canoes upon the bank across from him. He saw Malbihn step from the bow of the foremost of the little craft. He' saw him turn and glance back across the river. He could see his start of surprise as his eyes fell upon the pursuing canoe and called the attention of his followers t It. Now the canoe was within easy speaking distance of the shore. :"What do you want?" yelled Mai- JUST TO SMILE "To bedll with: . ....... ....I ,'lm?tf Inches across n N" " when full grown lov ii the .nhir side .1. , it i.,M.ti'i The le i" .

' 1 Instantly she was all alert. They were coming closer. A second later she rec ognized the lurid profanity of the Swede. . Malbihn was returning I She thrust the photograph Into her waist Quickly she 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 Malbihn profanely Is suing instructions. He was a long time about It, and while he talked in his bellowing, 'brutish voice the girl sought some avenue of escape. ' , Stooping, she raised the bottom of the canvas and looked beneatn ana oe yond. There was no one in sight upon that side. Throwing herself upon her stomach, she wormed beneath the tent wall just as Malbiha, witb a final word to his men, entered the tent. Meriem heard him cross the floor, and then she rose and, stoopinglov, ran to a native hut directly behind. Once inside this t she turned and glan'ced back.; There' was no one in sight. She had not been, seen. Crashed It Down Full Face. In Malblhn's sciousto the ground. Without a back ward look.Meriem turned and fled Into the! open, ' ' : ' - ? Several of the blacks saw her and ' trtort tn Intercept her flight, but the menace oJ the harmless weapon kept ' thm nt a distance. And so -she won beyond the encir cling boma and disappeared Into the jungle to the south , Straight into the 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 and her stockings for she ' knew that she hnd before her. a Jour ney and a flight which would not brook ' the burden of these garments... , ' She had not gone far before she com menced to realize how slight were her chances for survival without means of defense or a weapon to brings, down I meat.

Malblhn's tent she bjhn( raising his weapon threateningly. 13 ' ' J . hpnrd a ereat cursing. The Swede had discovered the rifling of his box. He was shouting to his men, and as she heard them reply Meriem darted from the hut "and ran toward the edge of the boma farthest from Malblhn's tent. ' Two minutes' start of any pursuers was all Meriem cared 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 sfart of them l ,; There was a smile on ner nps as sne "You, hang you!" shouted Baynes, whipping out his revolver and firing al most simultaneously with the Swede. As the two reports rang out Malbihn dropped his rifle, clutched frantically at his breast, staggered, fell, first to his knees and then lunged upon his face. Baynes stiffened. His head flew back spasmodically. Foi; an Instant he stood thus and then crumpled very gently into the bottom of the boat. Baynes turned weakly In the direc tion of the shore, to see Malbihn drawn up upon his elbows, levellng,hls rifle dropped to the ground to cross a little at him.1" The Englishman slid to the clearinE where "once had 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 frora,.,a dozen golnts, from tum bling doorways, from behind tottering granaries. 'In utter unconsciousness of Impending danger sne started up the village "street because it offered the clearest pathway to the Jungle. - , -'J i CHAPTER XV. -: . r i Y Morlson 8quare8 Accounts -A' mile away toward the east, fight ing his way through the Jungle along the trail taken by Malbihn when he had brought Meriem to his camp, a man in torn khaki, filthy, haggard, un kempt, came to a sudden stop as the report of a rifle resounded faintly hottom of the canoe as a bullet whiz zed above him'. Malbihn,' sore hit took longer in aiming, nor was his aim as sure as formerly. . . : With difficulty Baynes turned him self over on his stomach and, grasping his revolver, In his right, hand, drew himself up until be could look over the edge of the canoe. , Malbihn saw him instantly and fired, but Baynes did not flinch or duck. With painstaking care he aimed at the target upon the shore, away from which he now was drifting with the current., His finger closed upon the trigger. .There was a flash, a report, and Malblhn's giant frame jerked to the impact of another bullet. . 1 ;- (TO BB CONTINUED.) k, A loud voice Is a powerful weapon of defense and offense t Oh, Fudge, "What's, nil thnt noise, all that hub bub In the shops?"
