Again onward through the jungle
strobe the man who knew. no fear
till suddenly he halted, gazing ahead
spellbound at the apparition that con-
fronted him.
The apparition was man of a race
which Wayne could not remember haV-
ing ever seen before-a Caucasian.
The white man, who stood not so
feet from Doctor Wayne, had a rife. He
was aiming the gun at an object.
Wayne looked to see at what the white
man was SO carefully aiming that
deadly weapon. He saw leopard
crouched on a fallen tree, watching
evidently for a bird Of which to make
a dainty meal. This crouching leopard
was none other than one of Doctor
Wayne's own house guests, Mark.
DON'T" shouted Wayne, his voice
rcnding the jungle silence like clap
Of thunder. "Don't!"- he repeated.
For the first time the white man
himself heheld an apparition-seem-
ing a wild man, whom he instantly
however, as Of the white
race, yet one become so strangely wild
that he seemed like a prehistoric cave
man come to life in the forest primeval.
cart thou so afraid Of yonder beast
that thou wou] st kill it?' Wayne
said, advancing toward the stranger.
81 will show thee that yonder beast is
not to be feared. Behold, man Of
fear, how the beast of the forest will
yield itself to man when man has
proved to be a friend!'
Wayne went to- the leopard, lifted
it bodily over his head, wound the
1.-the and elastic form around his neck
and shoulders like mighty collar.
Thus with Mark, the leopard, wrapped
around him, the wild man vanished
into the thick of the jungle.
"Well, I'll. be dimmed!" exclaimed
Capt. Duncan Jones of Troop F, the
crack cavalry organization OF the
state of California.

CHAPTER VIII.

The ceves Of the Hundred Lions.
H7. Robert Wayne had followed
kmazu trustingly from the wagon
camp. He carried his medicine chest
as we'll as his gun. On the trail they
had ambushed him-striking him down
with an assegai--without warning and
before he could use his gun. And
Amazu had left him lying on the trail,
supposedly dead.
But the missionary doctor, though
wounded on the head and seemingly
Iifeless, was only unconscious. When
the blood stopped flowing and had
CONCEALED, he recovered consciousness
and at once started for the wagon
camp.
Doctor Wayne poked in the smoldeT-
ing ruins with a stick-and found
some bones and the necklace Of cowry
shells. He remembered that Chief
Amazu had given this necklace to
Edith Wayne. And now here were
the cowry shells all blackened by fire.
And here we're bones. Bones of whom?
What but bones of his daughter Edith ?
Her body had been burned with the
wagon. And doubtless her mother,
too, was here also incinerated.
God have mercy upon our souls and
incline our hearts to keep thy laws!"
Doctor Wayne intoned in strange
voice.
These were the last rational words
he was to utter for many day. For
calamity had shattered his mind. All
in an hour his beloved ones had been
taken from him, as he supposed, vio-
lently, horribly, forever. He broke into
demoniacal laughter. And from far
in the forest came the sound Of an
other laugh just as horrible-the
laughter Of hyena whip, perhaps, sup
posed it was responding to the cry Of
one of it's own kind.
Doctor Wayne reeled away from the
wagon, staggered across the clearing
and into the jungle. He blundered on,
not toward the kraal of Wambo, but
farther and farther into the darksome,

the KaGrs, disobeying the orders of the
white men, hurled his assegai. The
spear struck Wayne in the flesh of his
back and lodged there. Like a Spartan
of old, Wayne reached round and
pulled the spear free Of his body and
then staggered on Weakened by loss Of
blood, however, he fell in his tracks.
The natives rushed forward to seize
him. But just then a great numbering
body came crashing through the under
brush and out into the clearing. Ii.
was Toddles, the elephant, the senti
mel, who acted as guard at the door to-
the Caves of the Hundred Lions when
ever Wayne was within.
The Africans fed, for Africans, un-
like Hindus, fear elephants and hate
them.
Straight to Wayne came Toddles,
and lifting the fallen man from the
ground with his trunk, carried him
through the jungle back to the en-
trance to the Caves Of the Hundred
Lions. There Toddles deposited Doc
tor Wayne gently on the ground.
Later Il the day, Lieutenants Steele
and Rodman reached camp, where they
found Captain Jones awaiting them.
Good bag for the last day OF our
African hunt" said Steele, jubilantly.
"Look!" And proudly he showed
Jones the two dead lions brought in by
the shikaris.
"Yes," said Rodman. "Tve told the
black boys to prepare for an early
start for the coast tomorrow morning.
Two months from today we'll be back
in Los Angeles
"say, boys" remarked Captain
Jones, what do you think saw to-
day? I saw a Wild man."
1--WE saw him, tool" Steele said.
"And he cursed us up and down for
slaughtering the lions, which he
called his friends"
Wonder who he is?" murmured
Jones, thoughtfully. Perhaps he's
somebody's father in the States. Who
knows"
81 think caught him in my camera,
said Steele. "I'll develop the plate
You fellows wait. III see what I've
got"
With the last rays Of the setting
sun Steele, having developed the plate.
secured print and showed 1t to his
fellow hunters.
Great" Jones calculated. 'The
wild man and the lions together in
one picture Bully! Don't forget to
give me complete set of your photos
made here in the jungle, Steve. Give
them to me when we get back to Los
Angeles. And be sure you include
this picture of our wild man."

painless habitat of wild beasts-past
lair of lion and leopard and cheetah-
on and on ever in direction that led
him farther and farther away from
Wambo's kraal-onward deeper and
deeper into the depths Of the African
jungle
And as the sun went down, DR.. Rob-
ert Wayne, bereft of reason, arrived at
the entrance to a hollow mountain, a
place called by the Kafrs the Caves Of
the Hundred Lions AS Doctor Wayne
stumbled into the great cave he found
water pouring from the rock wall and
forming pool-a natural sunken bath,
as it were-in the rock basin in the
floor of this granite mansion of ma
lures own architecture and fashion
ing. Doctor Wayne drank Of the wa
ter.
A lion passed him, on its way to its
lair somewhere in the rock chambers
Of the cave. Wayne viewed the lion
curiously, without fear Two more
lions passed. Wayne stared at them
hlankly, without reason.
Half a dozen leopards appeared.
Doctor Wayne seized one Of these leop-
ards and played with it, as child
with a kitten.
And presently night fell athwart
the entrance to the cave. 1t was now
dark where Doctor Wayne lay just
within his rock house. And from sheer
physical exhaustion he fell asleep.
The six leopards lay around and
near him, with II eyes blazing like
powerful lamps piercing the darkness

CHAPTER XIII.
The Hunters Return.

Edith Wayne picked geraniunss
hummed a tango tune and vaguely
wondered when Capt. Duncan Jones
would return from Africa. The month
now was June. In the library by the
open window Edith's mother sat in her
wheel chair, watching the gathering
of the crimson blossoms which grew
so profusely in the garden surround
ing the Wayne bungalow.
Mrs. Morris from next door" came
across the lawn, her countenance gos-
siping of important news.
Edith" she said, have you heard
the tidings? Capt Duncan Jones and
his friends returned from their African
hunting trip this morning"
"Oh, goody!" exclaimed the ever
enthusiastic Edith. you will see that

Yes, this was Or. Robert Wayne
though he knew not his name nor any
thing about himself prior to the day
when he had awakened from long
sleep to find himself in this very cave.
Having administered to Matthew,
Doctor Wayne now turned his atten-
tion to the other leopards.
Mark, Luke. john" he cried.
Thou art three lazy ones this morn
ing. Thou art late in securing thy
breakfast Away with thee! Go forth
and seek that which thy palates

He seized Mark by the neck and

Like children who feared similar treat
ment, Luke and John followed Mark
Of their own accord.

He placed little writhing things on
the cross where the parrots perched.

sought to teach to the Kairs. He

CHAPTER XII.
A PHOTOGRAPH of the Wild Man.

"And derned if he isn't white
mani" continued Capt. Duncan Jones,
recovering from the spell cast over
him by the strange apparition. Il
thought wild men existed only in
novels and dime museums. But
hanged if that wasn't the real thing!
I'll find the boys and tell them about
it. We must capture that wild man
and take it home in a crate and sell it
to some circus
Captain Jones now listened intently
for some sound that would Indicate
the location of his safari from which
he had become separated. Somewhere
in the jungle were his two friends,
Lieutenants Steele and Rodman, both
Of Jones own cavalry troop.
ooh, Steele! Oh, Rodman!" the
captain yelled.
But there was no answer except the
echo of his own voice. Whereupon
Capt. Duncan Jones decided to return
to camp and await his friends there.
About an hour later, two lions were
drinking at a water hole. Two shots
were fired in quick succession and
both lions fell in their tracks. The
shikaris ran up, followed by the two
lieutenants, Steele and >Rodman, who
had fired the shots. Steele had a
camera and prepared to use it. The
shikaris held the dead lions up, and
Steele focused his kodak on the
"bag." Even as he squeezed the bulb
that opened the shutter of the lens, an
apparition appeared and the camera
caught it, standing by the lions.
The apparition had long name and
tawny beard and was dressed in
lions skin. 1t seemed to the lieuten-
ants to be wild man. Also they were
not slow to perceive that the man was
mighty in his anger as he viewed the
two dead lions.
Thou hast forgotten the command
ment, Thou shalt not kill! the wild
man said, in voice terrible in its re-
proach. Were / to observe the law OF
an eye for an eye and a tooth for
tooth, 1 would rend thee both asun-
der with these, my naked hands. Thus
would 1 punish thee for Staying two OF
my friends Of the forest. For here
lie my good friends, Solomon and
Sheba- Woe to thee, if again l hear
the thunder Of thy weapons"
With that the wild man turned and
fed.
After HIM" commanded Lieutenant
Steele, turning to those Of the kahrs
who carried spears.
Yes, capture HIM" cried Lieuten-
ant Rodman. He's a wild white man!
Get him! But don't harm hair of his
head"

CHAPTER K.
In Tune With the Wild.

Just within the entrance to the
Caves of the Hundred Lions, where
water from out the rock wall trickled
down and formed natural s,unken
bath, man of massive frame, with a
tawny beard and hair like name, clad
only in a lions skin, was eating his
breakfast-wild honey, wild cherries
and other jungle fruit.
His features we're those Of white
man, but the color of his skin was as
dark as that of some Of the Kafirs who
saw him frequently in the jungle and
who always left him unmolested. For
the black men held in awe this Wild
looking man with the hypnotic eyes
who consorted with wild beasts as
with human companions.
The bronzed hue of his skin was the
result of Is years Of exposure to the
rays of the sun that pierced the jun
gle fastness. For Is years he had in
habited the Caves of the Hund-ed
Lions, with all kinds of wild beasts for
his friends.
If there was that in his manner and
looks that suggested madness, it sure
ly was madness most mild. For with
benign mien he talked to his four-foct-
ed companions as one who loved all
living things.
His companions now, as he ate his
breakfast, were four leopards, two
monkeys and two parrots. To these
he talked as to human table compan-
ions.
Matthew" he said, addressing one
of the leopards, thou dost lie there

saw him lying here as We passed on
the way to the fight But Row he IS

the body and they will"
lie stopped in pity for Mrs. Wayne.
lie dared not impart to her his
thoughts Of just how Amazu's war
riors would mutilate the body Of the
white man. He knew they would tear
the body limb from limb in revenge
for their own losses in the battle.
But Mrs. Wayne understood Wam-
bo's sudden silence. She broke into
pitiful tears.
"Come!" said Uncle Steve. Come,
Mollie, you must be brave! Come
Edith! We will return to Wambo's
village. And soon we will start again
for our home in California.
"And when you start again" said
Wambo, you will accept the escort Of
Ey warriors.
Yes replied Uncle Steve, firmly.
"a hundred warriors shall escort u.s.
And we will thank you a hundred
times, Wambo, for the protection OF
your men"
All this time, however, Doctor Wayne
was alive. He was at that very mo-
ment examining the ruins of the
burned wagon, and finding the cowry-
she'll necklace which he himself had
placed around the neck Of his little
daughter.

Bantu was watching the fight from
the tail piece Of the wagon. Suddenly
he gave shrill cry-and fell back
ward into the arms Of little Edith. He
looked into the blue eyes Of his white
playmate, for whose sake he had run
miles through the forest. Then the
body of this little black boy stifened
and he lay very still.
ooh, the pity Of it!'' cried Mrs.
Wayne. Poor Bantu!"
A bullet from the gun of Amazu had
found the heart Of the valiant little
black boy.

JAPAN IN THE TRIPLE ENTENTE.

Japan's participation a co-equal with France
England and Russia in the Triple Entente may be
the evolution from the BritshJapanese treaty which
looks only it Is said to the support of their mutual
interests in the Far East. The emergencies of the
European war which may bring about this change
would of course be menacing to the United States.
Nations at will resort to the last extremity
Japan has a large army, efficient navy and many
steamers All she lacks is money, which Europe could
supply. A Japanese army of a quarter of a million
men might be landed in Europe before the first OF
February That would be Japans price for admission
to the Triple Entente and consequently the aid of the
three European powers for Japan in the Pacific.
It Is in the Pacific that the destines of our re-
public are to be settled. We have reason to look
with grave concern upon any great enlargement OF
Japanese power there. The taking of Kauchau by
Japan plants that power firmly in China and opens
for her control of the resources as well as
the vast undeveoped military strength of China. 1t
would be a cheap price to pay for European money
and support to sacrifice couple of hundred thousand
troops in the European

THE CAUCUS AND THE SESSION.

The formal caucus of the Republican legislators
at Trenton tomorrow Is not expected to de-
velop trouble There seems to be substantial agree
ment by the majority to the organization and the
disposition of the party leaders is to promote har-
mony TO insure successful session.
The new Legislature Is looked to to carry out
the pledges of the party platform Usually platforms
pledges forgotten when newly elected egisla-
lures meet, but there has been much criticism of
late in regard to forfeited platform pledges that
party leaders have learned TO be careful. The last
Legislature not free from censure in that respect
When the new Legislature meets in January it
will be confronted by many highly important ques-
tons Fortunately the States finances are in good
shape and there will be need for any new form
of tax or for direct tax the people. But there
is a palpable need for cutting out unnecessary ex-
penses and improving the efficiency of State admins
tration.
This will be the most difficult task of the legis-
lators. Every proposition to abolish or consolidate
commissions and departments meets energetic oppo-
sition which Is too easily yielded to. But in some
directions the States expenses must be increased In
stitutona for thing will demand increased
appropriations There must be broader policy in re-
spec to public health and cattle and food inspection

QUITTING MEXICO.

Evidently the Washington government was re-
solved to quit Mexico at all hazards and without
much reference guarantees to which Mexican
action should obtain possession. Nor was there any
object in keeping troops there longer Our long
occupation of Vera Cruz has had other results

Voluntary police duty won't get word of thanks
But as is given out at Washington, the evacua-
ion is TO make frst-class impression on Latin

The early history of this country
furnishes us with many incidents
show ing the tremendous pride the
Indians took in their bows. They
hunted the forests over for the pre-
clse sort OF wood which had the
greatest spring, residence, throwing
power. They hunted game with
these bows and we're largely depend
emit upon them for a living.
But they soon found that the best
bow that was ever made would be
useless in a very short time il it
were kept always strung up. A bow
must be unbent most OF the time
to be most effective when in use.
If 1t is constantly taut 1t will quick
ly lose its rebound, its throwing
power. Now, here is great lesson
for tired, jaded, overworked Ameri-
cans.
Thousands of American business
and professional men are discover
ing that a human bow that Is per-
petually strung up loses it's tension,
and that just as the Indian always
unstrung his bow as soon as he had
shot forth the arrow, in order co
save its original residence and pow
ers OF resistance, our human forces
must be given a chance to recu-
perate between periods of effort. 1t
Is just because our efforts are of
higher aim, wider reach, more COM
pick in motive, that we need the re-
Operative, healing power OF relax
alton, recreation. Most of the game
the Indians wanted had to be shot
at long distance, and it was very i'm
portant that the wood of which the
bows were made should have the
greatest possible throwing quality.
Now, lust in proportion as our
business is taxing, our life aims are
high, do we need the restorative in
fiuence of change and relaxation.
Otherwise, our physical and mental
faculties will become warped and
diseased and incapable of reaction.
just as the perpetually bent fibre of
the bows would form the habit of
staying bent and after n little 1t
could not be restored to it's original
position.
There are thousands of men who
for weeks or months during the year
are working at just as great q dis
advantage as a perpetual,y bent bow,
because they have been strung up
tensely SO long, with so little recrea-
ton, so little self-renewal, unbend-
ing, that they have lost their mental
springiness, their resilient brain elias
ITCHY. Their spontaneity has evap-
Grated, and with it their ability to
do their best work. Their faculties
are strained, manned. They need the
hea ing power of recreation.
There is nothing worse for a man
than forcing his brain to do more
than its normal share of work. He
pays for 1t at terrible cost of vast
ed power. One shot from the bow

| first saw Marshall Jewell in 1858,
when he was a candidate for governor
of Connecticut. He was at that time
a singularly handsome man. His
stature was above the average height
and his physique was somewhat large,
but he was well proportioned, and
every movement that he made sug-
gested both grace and refinement.
What was particularly noticeable, es-
pecially to those who met him for the
first time, were the noble shape and
poise of his head, the steadiness with
which he carried it upon his shout.
ders, the peculiar silvery lustre of his
abundant hair, and also of his mus
tache and imperial, the delicate pink
tint which was in his cheeks and
which was like that of a young man,
his sparkling blue eyes, and the jewell
like glitter of his teeth.
1t was in no small measure due to
his attractive personality that he tri-
umphed in three of the campaigns
necticut. He sometimes said that pol
itics was thrust upon him and that
almost before he knew it he had been
taken from his leather factory and
landed in the domain where politics Is
supreme.
Jewell was unusually successful SO
far as service in prominent office was
concerned, and to natural aptitude,
not only for political leadership in its
broader sense, but also for organiza-
ton politics, combined with his per-
sonal charm, he owed his successes.
He was not a student. He once said
to me that he read very few books,
for he had no time to do that, but
that he was fortunate enough to be
