CHAPTER IX,
—lo—
ThNvss Fall Out
So the two Swedes approached the
village of Kovudoo with friendly words
upon their tongues and deep craft In
their hearts.
Their plans wrre well made. There
was no mention of the white prisoner.
They chose to pretend that they were
not aware thnt Kovudoo had a white
prisoner. They exchanged gifts with
the old chief, haggling with his pi en I
potentiarles over the value of what
they were to receive for what they
gave, us Is customary und proper when
one bus no ulterior motives. Unwar
ranted generosity would hove aroused
suspicion.
During the 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 und
tiresome, as these native ceremonies
alwuys are to Kuropeans. Kovudoo
made uo mention of his prisoner, und
from bis generous efforts of guides und
presents seemed anxious to assure
himself of the speedy departure of hla
guests.
It wn Mnlblhn who, quite casually,
near the close of their talk, mentioned
the fact that the sheik was dead. Kov
udoo evinced Interest und surprise.
"You did not know It?" usked Mnl
blhn. "That is strange. It was during
tha last moon. He fell from his horse
when the beast stepped in a hole. The
horse fell upon hliu. When hla men
came up the sheik was quite deud."
Kovudoo scratched his head. He was
much dlsapiKilntetl. No slielk men lit no
rausom for the white girl.
"I know where there Is a white girl,"
he suld unexpectedly. "If you wish to
buy her she muy bo hud cheap."
Miilblhn shrugged. "We have trouble
enough, Kovudoo," he said, "without
burdening ourselves with an old,
broken down she hyena, and as for
paying for one" —Molblhu snapped his
fingers.
"She Is young," said Kovudoo. "uud
good looking."
The Swedes laughed. "There are no
good looking white women In the Jun
gle, Kovudoo," saltl 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
hU lids In a sly wink. Together they
followed Kovudoo toward his hut. In
the dlin Interior they discerned the
figure of n woman lying bound upon
u sleeping mat.
Mnlblhn took a single glance and
turned away. "She must be a thou
sand years old, Kovudoo," he said us
he left the hut.
"She la young!" crletl the savage.
"It Is dark In here. You cannot see.
"la She Not Both Young end Qood
Looking T" Asked Kovudoo.
Walt. I will have ber brought out In
the sunlight." And he commanded the
two warriors who watched the girl to
cut the bonds from her ankles and
lend her forth for Inspection.
Malblhn and Jenssen evinced no
eagorness. though both were fairly
buretlng with It. not to see the girl,
but to obtain possession of her. They
cared not if she had the face of a mar
noset or the figure of pot bellied Ko
ildoo himself. All that they wished
i know was tbat she was the girl
THE ENTERPRISE, WILLI AMBTON, NORTH CAROLINA
who had been stolen from the sheik
several years before. They thought
that they would recognise ber for such
If she were Indeed the aame. But even
so, the testimony of the runner Kovu
doo had sent to the sheik was such as
to assure them that the girl waa the
one they had once before attempted
to abduct.
As Meriem wus brought forth from
the darkness of the hut's Interior the
(wo men turned, with every appear
ance of disinterestedness, to glance at
her. It was with difficulty tbat Mal
hlhn suppressed an ejuculatlon of as
tonishment. The girl's beuuty fairly
took his breath from him. But In
stantly he recovered his poise and
turned to Kovudoo.
"WellT" he sold to the old chief.
"Is she not both young and good
looking?" nsked Kovudoo.
"She Is not old," replied Malblhn.
"Hut, even so, she will be a burden.
We did not come from the north after
wives. There are more than enough
there for us."
Meriem stood looking straight at the
white men. She expected nothing from
them—they were to her as much ene
mies us the black men. She bated and
feared them all. Malblhn spoke to ber
In Arabic.
"We ure friends," be aald. "Would
you like to have us take you away
from heref*
Slowly and dimly, fca though from a
great distance, recollection of tba once
familiar tongue returned to ber.
"I should like to go free," she aald,
"and go back to Korak."
"You would like to go wltb uat"
persisted Malblhn.
"No," suld Meriem.
Malblhn turned to Korudoo. "She
dons not wish to go with us," he said.
"You are men," returned the black.
"Can you not take her by force?"
"It would only add to our troubles,"
replied the Swede. "No, Kovudoo, we
do not wish her, though. If you wish
to be rid of her, we will take her away
because of our friendship for you."
Now, Kovudoo knew that he had
made a sale. They wanted her. So be
commenced to bargain, and In the end
the person of Meriem pawed from the
possession of the black chieftain Into
that of the two Swedes In considera
tion of six yards of Amerlkan. three
empty brass cartridge abells and a
shiny new Jackknlfe from New Jersey.,
And all but Meriem were more than
pleased with the bargain.
Kovudoo stipulated but a single con
dition, and that was that the Kuro
peans were to leave bis villuge and
take the girl wltb them as early the
next morning as they could get start
ed. After the sale he did not hesitate
to explain his jeusons for this demand.
He told them of strenuous attempts
of the girl's savage mate to rescue her,
und suggested tbat the sooner they got
her out of the country the more likely
they were to retuln possession of her.
Meriem was agnln bound and placed
under guard, but Jthls time In the tent
of the Swedes. Mnlblhn talked to her,
trying to persuade her to accompany
them willingly. He told her thut they
would return her to her own village,
but when he discovered thut she would
rather die than go back to the old
sheik he assured her that they would
not take her there —nor, as a mutter
of fact, had they any Intention of ao
doing.
All tbat night Meriem lay listening
for a signal from Korak. All about
the Jungle life moved through the
darkness. To ber sensitive ears came
sounds that the others In the camp
could not hear, sounds that she Inter
preted as we nilght 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 begun to
assail her as to the safety of her
friend. It seemed unbelievable that
serious mishap could huve overtaken
her wonderful Korak, who dally passed
unscathed through all the terrors of
the Jungle, let morning came, the
morning meal was eaten, the camp
broken, und the disreputable safari of
the Swedes was again on the move
northwnrd with still no sign of the j
rescue by Korak the girl momentarily j
*T;pected.
All that day they marched and the
next and the next. Nor did Korak
even so much a* show himself to the
patient little waiter moving, silent and
stately, beside her bard captors.
It was on the fourth day that Mer
le ni began definitely to fire up hopei
Bo met hlng had happened to Kormk.
She knew it. He would never come
now, and these men would take her
away. Presently they would kill her.
She would never see her Korak again.
On tbia day the Swedes rested, far
they had marched rapidly and -their
men were tired. Malbthu and Jenssea
had, gone from camp to bunt, taking
different directions.
They had been gone about an hour
when the door of Meriem'* tent was
lifted and Malblhn entered. Hla look
portended ho good to the girl.
Out in the Jungle Jenssen bad
brought down two bucks. Hl» hunting

was he prone to permit It to do so. Ha

fact that his companion hnd refused to

of camp. He hulted to listen. It was
repented twice. Then alienee.
With n muttered curse Jenssen
broke Into n rapid run. What a fool
Malblhn was, indeed, thus to cbanca
Jeopardizing a fortune!
Further away t'rom camp than Jena
sen and upon the opposite side an
other heard Mcrlem's screams—a
stranger who uan not even aware of
the proximity of white men other than
himself, a hunter with a handful of
sleek, black warriors.
He, too, listened Intently for a mo
ment. That the voice was that of a
woman In distress he could not doubt,
and so he alao hastened at a run In
the direction of the affrighted voice,
but he was much farther away *>»■"

What the Swede fonnd there roused

Meriem was fighting off her attacker.
Malblhn was showering blows upon
her.
Jensaen, 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 band, drew almost
simultaneously, and both men fired at
once.
Jensaen was still moving toward
Malblhn at the time, but at the Hash
of the explosion he stopped. His re
volver dropp«>d from nerveless fingers.
For a moment he staggered drunkenly.
Deliberately Malblhn put two more
bullets Into bla friend's body at doae
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
eyea were closed, his head dropped
forward upon bis breast, his hands
hung limply before htm. Tet still he
stood there upon his feet, though he
reeled horribly.
It was not until the third bullet had
found its mark within his body that
he lunged forward upon his face. Then
Mnlbtlin approached him and, with an '
oath, kicked hltn viciously. Then he 1

BIROS PROTECTION IN PARKS
Subject la engaging tho Attention of
Tewn Authorities In all Sections
of tho Country.
In many eastern citlea, where the
winters are moot severe, the park
officials maintain feeding stations for
• wild birds. Even ss far up In "the
frozen north" ao Minneapolis a num
ber of such winter feeding plsces sre
found In every park of their extenslvs
system. Theodore Wlrth, the super
intendent of parks, asys: "W« have
. a long severe winter snd find It necea
't ssry to feed birds regularly every dsy
for months If we sre to hold them In
our parko for the summer. We hsve
j also built and placed a large number
of nesting boxes or bird houses which
art well populated. We protect birds
; In every possible way and the local
Audubon society Is doing eicellent
work. A good msny kinds of birda
which were rarely seen here a few
years ago are now found In large num
bers, and many which formerly left In
the fall now stay with us over winter."
We have. In many parka, sufficient
shrubbery for cover, we are not trou
bled much with cats, yet park men
should b« required to kill all found
within the several larger parks and to
keep none except a single cat In each
storehouse. Encouragement should be
given In every way to the Increase of
native birds and those of bright plum
age and sweet song from othec lands
should be lntr«>duced. The country,
not the city, should perform the office
of Introduction of new kinds. In a
climate so mild as oura there shotld be
a thousand-fold as many birds as we
now have and the parks should be
filed with them.—Los Angeles Times.
PREPARE FOR HOME GARDEN
National Heslth, as Weil as Conserva
tion and Patriotism, Demand
Planting of Many This Beason.
The home garden this coming season
will mean more than It did last year
or ever before. It is not only a means
of national conservation and patrio
tism; a measure of national health
lies within It. The man who can and
who falls to put In a home garden
next spring will be a slacker. The
government stands ready to help In
the garden, and government bulletins
on garden subjects may be obtained by
writing to the Division of Publications,
Deportment of Agriculture, Washing
ton. D. C.. for a list of publications
nvnllable for distribution. Many of
the state agricultural colleges, too,
have garden bulletins for free distri
bution.
Sometimes, In many states of the
I?nl4>n, there Is a chance to plow the
garden early. When that chance
comes the garden should be manured
and plowed. Harnyard manure Is a
source of weed seeding, but It Is the
most satisfactory fertilizer usually ob
tainable. A spot four or five feet
square should be selected at the low
est, wettest spot in the garden for a
compost pile or pit. If not too much
trouble to dig a shallow pit. Into this
pit throw all grass cuttings, leaves,
vegetable tops and pea vines and to
mato plants. They rot in a year or
two and form a valuable source of
humus for the garden soil.—Country
Gentleman.
Public Building Architecture.
It Is an unfortunate circumstance
that the concept of "architecture," to
most persons, is limited to libraries,
art galleries and other public build
ings. These they feel, are "architec
ture;" and "architecture," to fulfill the
most popular conception of It, must
have Greek columns, and be executed J
In stone, on a more or less grand,
and at an expenditure of equally con- .
splcnouo scale.
So far as this general popular esti
mate goes. It Is an excellent and high- '
ly desirable thing. The people of j
every town and city, the people even
of every village, should be keenly In- j
terested in the architectural merit of
every public building which Is being
erected with city funds. They should '
demand the highest order of archl- j
tectural merit and should come to
learn some Intelligent discrimination
between architectural merit and fl- I
nanclal expenditure. The library, for j
example, in a neighboring town may ■
have cost several thousand dollars ;
more to build than the library In one's
own town, but It may not be ueces- j
sarlly better architecturally.—Ex- j
change.
Trees Must Have Rbom.
In order to insure symmetry of j
growth, frees must be allowed unre- j
strlcted area for development. At j
least 40 feet should be allowed be- j
tween trees Intended to occupy the j
ground permanently. Quick-growing ;
temporary trees may be planted be
tween the long-lived ones to produco i
Immediate results, but these should j
be removed as soon as they Interfere
