MEDICINEMAN CHAPTER XXI rpHK other walked ahead with the gliding step of the iungie ' bred. , The American followed close on hit heels, weapon ready ' for Instant use. Shortly afterwards, he discov ered the cause of the Nlam-Niam's . mirth. For there was a fugitive 1 trail cutting sharply to the left; the wilderness ceasing as a basalt ridge rose like wall; a short climb; and there, a few minutes from where Lincoln had almost surrendered to despair, he saw below his feet the great lake offer ing its steaming expanse to the sun. The pygmy pointed to the south ern rim of the lake where a forest . vanished toward the horizon. It was through this forest, he ex- Slalned, that the path led to the leeting of the Elephants. An easy path," he added. "Hat" with sly humor "a path so easy and so broad that even a great Arab sheikh cannot miss it" Lincoln smiled. He liked the man for his irony irony was such a human trait. Too, he was grate ful to him. He'd give him a p res ant But what? His resources were decidedly limited. Then he remembered his silver watch. Rotten with moisture, clogged with rniasmic atoms, it bad stopped ticking. , He took it from a fold of his waistshawl. ... - - The other's beady eyes glis tened. ' - He grabbed the watch. Nor did .. he stop to give thanks. , Rapidly, lest Lincoln change his mind, he half ran, half slid down the basalt rocks and dashed into the jungle that took him silently to its bosom. Laughing, the American looked after him. Then he, too, left the ridge and turned toward the forest. TJX was utterly worn out Still, he waa near the end of his quest the end of his crusade. He would succeed, would die in suc ceeding. Nobody would ever know of his sacrifice. Soon he would be for gotten. People, chiefly democra cies, were quick at forgetting. Forgetting the good as well as the bad. - There was, for instance, his ' half-brother, RaouL Raoul, so careless and gay. Al ways at odds with bis stern, puri tanical New England stepfather. Fond of horses, champagne, worn : en. Drummed out of the army for defalcation of -regimental funds. Yes. -Raoul, also, was forgotten - thank God! - He reached in the evening a , ramshackle but where, the season f before, a Negro hunter must have kept his simple belongings. He went inside; stretched out He tried to sleep; could not His head ached. It was so hot in here, so stuffy. , Why not sleep in the open? - He started to get up. Could not His limbs refused to obey. - His feet were like lead. His mouth was parched. His temples throbbed. A flood of. red color with broad, interlacing veins floated before his eyes. Even as his mind became a blank, he knew what it was: a .sudden, violent attack of black water fever the worst fever in the world ... ' AN hour passed. Two. A narrow beam of moon light stabbed into the hut Grad ually it widened, lengthened. Two hands then. Small, powerful, black hands, one closing about a knife, that leaped from the outside darkness into the moon's silver stream. A tfftall. powerful, black body fol lowed. . . ' ' It was the Niam-Niam. " - ' There was this wondrous amu let which the Arab had given him. It had roused his greed. Perhaps he, could steal more. So he had followed. He would kill if he had to. . -He raised his blade. Then, -as he twisted sideways to give more strength to the blow, the moon beams fell on the prone man's face, bringing it out startlingly greenish-white, showing lines of intense suffering. And something clicked in the Nlam-Niam's primitive brain. He had come here to steal, belike to kill. He remained to pity and help. He ran back into the Jungle; returned with a handful of wild herbs. Using his fingers and his saliva, he mashed them into an FUNNY "He says be can't stand by Achmed Abdullah. COPmiSHT, 1141,! evil-smelling pill. He forced It down the American's throat, gent ly massaging the trachea. Then he squatted down by Lincoln's side, rocking to and fro like a chained beast and chanted his Juju charms in a falsetto voice minute after minute. After a while, the American stirred a little. He babbled words, delirious words, over and ovei again. Some stood out sharply: "Nancy Zaman Khan Yebba N The Niam-Niara smiled. Ah but it was good to be a medicine man, to have superior wisdom. Yebba he knew what it meant: CROCHETED FANTASY FOR YOUR HAIR Alice Brooks . ' Get into the swim! . Have up-to-the-minute hair ornaments done in crochet!

Names, surely, of friends a desperately ill man would think of friends . . . The pygmy frowned. What should he do? Then he jumped up. Once more he went to the Jun gle; came back, carrying a tall, thin wooden drum. Squatting on his haunches, holding it with his prehensile toes, he beat it with elbows and palms. Rub-rub-rub rub rumbeddy rub .... The. sounds leaped up. Spanning; the jungle, the swamps and for ests, the desert Droning and throbbing on. Farther and far ther. Other drums Joined in.
