TT needed a robust faith in the end
to justify such tragic means. AS
we advanced together through
the woods we found the Apemen lying
thick, transfxed with spears or arrows.
Here and there little group of shat
tered Indians showed where one of the
anthropoids had turned to bay and
sold his life dearly. Always in front
of us we heard the yelling and roaring
which showed the direction of the pur-
suit. The Apemen had been driven
back to their city, they had made a
last stand there, once again they had
been broken, and now we were in time
to see the final fearful scene of ALL
Some eighty or hundred males,
the last survivors, had been driven
across that same little clearing which
led to the edge of the cliff, the scene
of our own exploit two days before.
As we arrived, the Indians, a semicircle
of spearmen, had closed in on them,
and in a minute it was over. Thirty
or forty, including their leader, died
where they stood. The others, scream
ing and clawing, were thrust over the
precipice, and went hurtling down, as
their prisoners had done of old, to the
sharp bamboos six hundred feet below.
1t was as Challenger had said, and
the reign of man was assured forever
in Maple White Land Most of the
males were exter1ninated, Apetown
was destroyed, the females and others
were driven away to live in bond
age, and the long rivalry of untold
centuries had reached it's bloody end.

We'll. you know best, JIM" Mrs.
Story replied. Cara, you may come
as usual tomorrow and give Teddy
his lesson"
Cara went out, her head awhirl.
That evening she sat a long time
playing the Spring Song over and
over. AS she played she remembered
the words of the fortune teller:
This day you will meet your fate
the tall, blonde man whom you will
love vainly all your life"
She was very busy next day going
the rounds OF her lesson giving. It
was wet, chill day and by the time
she reached Mrs. Story's she was
damp and cold and weary. At the
end Of the lesson Mrs. Story and her
brother came in.
Now, don't think OF going, Cara, /"
Mrs. Story said. you are to stay to
tea tonight. The rain may slacken
In an hour or 50, and the doctor posi-
lively forbids your leaving the house
until 1t does"
That night as she lay wide-eyed
thinking over what had happened,
Cara shudderingly recalled the for
tune teller's prophecy. True or false.
she had been warned and she had
only herself to blame If she did not
heed the warning.
From that night Cara began her
fight and from that night the fortune
teller's prophecy had an increasing
influence over her. She grew wan.
Mrs, Story, suspecting that she was
in trouble, became solicitous and
kinder than she had ever been.

Since you are busy with your

Cara looked UP. A man had en-

were kind.

Story said. reaching for them Miss

"Ah, yes. So you teach music, do
you, Miss Lawrence? I.suppose you
play such things as 'Mendelssohn's
Spring Song'?"
"Oh, yes" Cara said, Frightening,
Il tried to learn to play it myself
when 1 was lad. If it isn't asking
too much. I wish you would play it
for me, Miss Lawrence"
Cara went to the piano. The
Spring Song was one OF the things
she played really well. Today the
melody crept singing with rare sig
nitcance from under her light fin
gers.
ASn IL was enueo, she prayed
other things-bits of Chopin and
