A-well-known Hampshire squire, not ed for his shabby coats, was one day leaning over a gate which commanded «i good view of his broad acres. A well-plensod smile was on Ills Hps when he was startled by the sound of n wheedling voice near him. "Ole us a hand, old chap, to help my poor old donkey up the hill." The squire turned, and, with the smile deepening In tils face, pushed the little enrt behind with so hearty a good will tlint the coster exclaimed with admiration: "Well, I'm darned If you ain't a good old sport. I sav," he went on In n whisper, "I've knocked over two or three of the squire's rabbits,' and I'm darned if ynu shan't have one." Whereupon, with a great appear ance of secrecy, lie pulled out a fat young rnlibit from under a sack In the cart, and trotted away, leaving the be wildered squire with one of Ills own rabbits dandling from Ills hands, —Lon- don Tit I'.lis, Ultimatum.

CHAPTER X—Continued —l2 HP persuaded theni (ft aid him I" rescuing Merlem UIHJ attacking the vl I - Inge *>f Kovudoo, calling t« ml ml how lie hull saved their king. Ami HO they came, upon the second day, to the vl I - Inge of Kovudoo. It WHH inldafter noon. The village wus sunk In the (jill«• tof the great equatorial nun heat. The mighty herd traveled quietly now. Iteneath the thousands of padded feet the forest gave forth no greuter sound than might have been produced by the Increased soughing of a stronger breeze through the leafy branches of the trees. Korak wus In the lead. Close beside the village they halted until the strag glers had closed up. Now utter silence reigned. The king of the baboons was enxlous to revenge hlinsutf upon Kovudoo, ami BO the hand was quickly organized. Korak, creeping stealthily, entered the tree that overhung the palisade. He glanced behind him. The pack was close upon his huels. The time had come, lie had warnad them con tinuously during the lonjrlnnrch that no harm must befall the white woman ape who lay u prisoner within the vil lage. All others were their legitimate prey. Then, raising his fuce toward the sky, lie gave voice to n single cry. It was the signal. In response .'I,OOO hairy hulls leaped screaming and barking Into the village of the terrified blacks. Warriors pour ed from every hut. Mothers gathered their babies In their arms and tied to ward the gates as they saw the horrid horde pouring Into the village street. Kovudoo marshaled his lighting men about him mid, leaping and yelling to arouse their courage, offered a bris tling, spear-tlpped front to the charg ing horde. Korak, as he had led the march, led the charge. The blacks -were struck with horror and dismay at the sight of this white skinned youth at the head of n pack of hideous baboons. For an instant they held their ground, hurling their spears once at the advancing multitude. Hut before they could tit arrows to their l>ows they wavered, gave and turned In ter rltled rout. Into their ranks, upon their backs, sinking strong fangs Into the muscles of their necks, sprung the baboons, and first among them, most ferocious, most bloodthirsty, most ter rible. was Korak, the Killer. At the village gates, through which the blacks poured In panic, Korak left them to the tender mercies of his al lies and turned himself eagerly toward the hut In which Merteua had been a prisoner. It was empty. One after another the tilthy Interiors revealed the same disheartening fact —Merietn was in none of them. That she had not been taken by the blacks In their flight- from the village Korak knew, for he had watched carefully for glimpse of her among the fugitives. To the mind of the ape man, know ing as he did the proclivities of the savages, there was but a single ex planation—Merlem had been killed and eaten. With the conviction that Me rlem was dead, there surged through Koruk's brain n wave of blood-red rage against those he believed to be her murderers. In the distance he Could hear the snarling of the baboons ndxed with the screnms of their vic tims, and toward this he made his way. In tho distance Kovudoo was gath ering his scattered tribesmen and tak ing account of Injuries and losses. His people were panic-stricken. Nothing could prevail upon them to remain longer In this country. They would not even return to the village for their belongings. Instead they insisted upon contlnuing.s their flight until they had mt many miles between themselves and the stamping ground of the white demon whose hordes had so bitterly attacked them. Aud thus it befell thnt Korak drove from their "Uoraes the only people who might have aided him In a search for Merlem and cut off the only connect ing link between him and her from vhomsoever might come In search of Mm from the douar of the kindly Bwa ia who had befriended little Jungle weotheart.

Ills mind was evi occupied wllli reminiscences of Mci em and the happy years that they hn spent together. He realized now to the full what sli had meant to him. The sweet fac the tanned, supple little body, tli bright smile that always had welcomed his return from the hunt, haunted him continually. Inaction soon threatened him with madness. He must be on the go. He must fill his days with labor and ex citement that he might forget—that night might Had him so exhausted that be should sleep In blessed unconscious ness of his misery until a new day hud come.

But most of all was lie with Tuntor, the elephant—that great gray battleship of the Jungle, the supcrdreadnaught of bis savage world. The peaceful quiet of the monster bulls, the watchful solicitude of the mother cows, the awkward playfulness of the calves, rested, Interested and amused Korak. The life of the huge beast took his mind temporarily from Ills own grief. He came to love them hs he loved not even the great apes, and thife was one gigantic tusker In particular of which he was very fond— the lord of the herd, a savage heust that was wont to charge a stranger upon the slightest provocation or upon no provocation whatsoever. And to Romk tills mountain of de struction was as docile and affectlon utc as a lapdog. He came when Korak caller!. He wound his trunk aboht the ape man's hotly and lifted lilin to Ills broad ueck In response to a gesture, and there would Korak lie at full length, kick ing his toes affectionately into the thick hide und brushing the files from about the tender ears of his colossal chum with u leafy branch torn by Tantor from a nearby tree. And all the while Merleui was scarce a hundred miles away! CHAPTER XI. A Lion and a Lamb To Merloni, In her new home, the days passed quickly. At first ahe was all anxiety to be off Into the Jun gle searching for foer Koruk. Bwana. as she ihsisied upon call ing her benefactor, dissuaded her from making the attempt at once by dls putclitiig u heud nmn with u party of blacks to Kovudoo's village, with In structions to learn from the old sav age how he came into possession of the white girl and as much of her antecedents as might be culled from the black chieftain. Bwana particular ly charged his head man with the duty of questioning Kovudoo relative to the strange character whom the girl called Kornk and of searching for the ape man if he found the slightest evidence upon which to ground a belief in the existence of such an individual. The white man's wife, whom Meri em had christened "My Dear" from having first heard her thus addressed by Bwana, took not only a deep Inter est in the little jungle walf because of her forlorn and friendless state, but grew to love I r as well for her sunny disposition and natural charm of tem- perament. And Merlem, similarly im- pressed by like attributes in tlie gentle, cultured woman, reciprocated the oth er's regard and affection. And BO the days flew by while Me rlem waited the return of the head man and his party from the country of Kovudoo. They were short days, for into them were crowded many hours of Insidious Instruction of the unlet tered child by the lonely woman. She commenced at once to teach the Kirl English without forcing it upon her as a task. She varied the instruc tion with lessons In sewing and de portment, nor once did she let Merlem guess that it was not all pluy. Nor was this difficult, since the girl was avid to learn. Then there were pretty dresses to he marie to take the place of the single leopard skin, and In thin she found the child as responsive and enthusiastic as any civilized miss of her acquaintance. A month paused before the head man returned, a month that had transform ed the savage, little, half naked Man garil Into a daintily frocked girl of at least outward civilization. Merlem hud progressed rapidly with the Intricacies of the English language, for lUvuna and My Dear persistently refused to speak Arafllc from the time they had decided that Merlem must learn Eng lish, which hnd been a day or two after her Introduction Into their home. Hut, docile as Merlem was In these matters, there was one thing that she insisted on during her entire stay with the kind white folk, and that was her personal freedom to make excursions Into the Jungle, attired very much as she had been when with Korak, when ever she chose. Ilwami and My Dear got used In time to finding her room empty and to have her turn up hours later, flushed and radiant, after a wild romp through the trees and jungle. Thus It was that, despite the civiliz ed hoots she wore and the confining feminine garb, the soles of her hard little feet and the palms of her capa ble hands remained exceedingly serv iceable, nor did her grace and agility suffer. The report of the head man plunged Merlem Into a period of despondency, for he had found the village of Kovu doo deserted, nor, search as he would, could he discover a single native any- /.-(j He Wound His Trunk About the Ape Man's Body. where In the vicinity. For some time he hnd camped near the village, spend ing the days In a systematic search of the environs for traces of Merlem's Korak. But In this quest, too, he had failed. He had seen neither apes nor ape man. Merlem at first Insisted upon setting forth herself In search of Korak, but Hwana prevailed upon her to wait. He would go, he assured her, as soon as he could find the time, and at Inst Me rloni consented to abide by his wishes. But It was months before she ceased to mourn almost hourly for her Korak, It was about this time that a runner brought a letter thnt, when she learn ed the contents, filled Merlem with excitement. Visitors were coming! A number of English ladles and gentle men had accepted My Door's invita tion to spend a month of hunting and exploring with them. The Honorable Mr. Baynes meets Merlem and falls In love with her. Bhe la threatened with "an old danger In a new guiee. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The White Sea. The White sea in northwestern Ruv sia is a branch of the Arctic ocean extending into the provinces of Arch angel. The sea is about 100 miles wide between t*he Kaninskala and Kola peninsulas, but It narrows to less than 50 farther south, widens again and forms three gulfs—the Kandalak gulf, that of Archangel, into which the River Dwlna falls, and that into which the River Onega falls. The sea-route into the White sea was discovered in 1553 by Richard Chancellor, n daring English sailor, who was brought up tn the household of tho father of the fa mous Sir Philip Sidney.

At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes "pimply" or pale skin. Bloodless people, thin, nnemlc peo ple, those with pale cheeks and lips, jvho have a poor appetite and feel that tired, worn or feverish condition in the springtime of the year, should try the refreshing tonic powers of a good al terative and blood purifier. Such a one Is extracted from Blood root, Golden Seal and Stone root. Queen's root and Oregon Grape root, made up with chemically pure glycerine and without the use of alcohol. This can be ob tained in ready-to-use tablet form in sixty-cent vials, as druggists have sold it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It Is a standard remedy that can be obtained In tablet or liquid form. A good purge shcffild be taken once a week even by persons who have a movement dally, in order to eliminate matter which may remain and cause a condition of auto intoxication, poison ing the whole system. To clean the system at h'ast once a week Is to prac tice health measures. There is nothing so good for this purpose as tiny pills made up of the May-apple, leaves of nloe and jalap, and sold by almost nil druggists In this country as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated, easy to take.
