CHAPTER XVIII.
What Sandili Did.

Doctor Wayne spoke to the leopards
in an authoritative tone The beasts
halted.
The doctor then knelt and called to
them in caressing tone.
Come, my friends. Come, we will
play together"
Marvel of marvels! The man lay on
his back on the floor of the pit and
the leopards came to him and purred
loudly and licked his hands, his arms,
his face. And they lay down beside
him and all around him. On one he
pillowed his head On another he laid
his arms. He played with them and
talked to them and caressed them as
though with so many kittens.
But what was Edith's horror now,
when suddenly she heard Boola at the
top of the pit order his men to build
a fire and heat the iron points of their
assegais wherewith to torment the
leopards and stir them to a fury in
which they would rend to death the
white captives.
Father" Edith called. did you
hear? They are going to stab the
leopards with hot spears"
II heard" her father answered. "But
God will still protect us. l dare not
betray the least fear, or these beasts
will attack us. Stand perfectly still,
Edith-still as a statue. Move not SO

have no more fear of Boola. Our boys
and the Kafirs employed by the Euro
pean traders whom we met on the traD
will see that Boola gets his. Boola's
wife, Sandili, met us on the trail and
made us hurry here to the rescue"
Keep quiet, please" Doctor Wayne
called. You'll distract, the attention
of these beasts if you keep on talking
We'll shoot the beasts one by one,"
Captain Jones replied.
NO, MOI" answered Doctor Wayne.

brutes-the rest will set upon us

Doctor Wayne now moved slowly C.
the aperture leading into the inner re-
cess. He spoke in a coaxing tone to
the leopards.
Come, my friends. Come now!
Home!"
And one by one the leopards came
to him. With a firm, but caressing
hand, he induced them to enter the in
ner recess.
"Now-quick!" he called UP to those
at the top of the pit. Lower the
door!"
Next minute the iron-barred door
was lowered Doctor Wayne and Edith
we're safe from the leopards. Captain
Jones and Uncle Steve now jumped
down into the pit. While Duncan em-
braced Edith Uncle Steve and Doctor
Wayne Rugged each other like two
bears. And the European wild animal
traders, who had fastened with Cap
tain Jones and Uncle Steve to the res
cue, after their meeting with Sandili-
these traders watched the strange fam
lily group down in the wild animal pit
and declared that Americans were pos
itively the greatest kissers and hug
gers among the nations of the world.
Two months later, in the Los An.
geles bungalow of the Wayne family,
Mrs. Wayne, no longer needing an in
valid chair, laid her head on her hus.
bands breast, saying;
Robert, do you know what spared
you to be brought back to me?'
What was it, Mollie, dear?" Doctor
Wayne asked:
ut was because, Robert, dear-bts
cause you were in tune with the wild"
At that very moment a young,
bronze-faced man of military bearing
and young woman with golden hair
were seated in the diner of train
speeding on it's way from Los Angeles
to San Francisco The black man who
served them addressed the bronzed
man as 'Cap'n!" And he called the
golden-haired woman Mrs. Jones"
The train was the Honeymoon Elk

PAGERS MAKE MANY RECORDS
Performances of e-WheeIers"
Leaves All Previous Years Forgot
ten-Al Worlds Marks.

The season Of 1914 goes down in
ever known so far as extreme speed
of race track PAGERS is concerned. The
way in which the "side-wheelers" have
performed leaves all past years COM
Dletely forgotten, and as a result the
list of Worlds Pacing Records" is
worse shot to pieces than the forts
about Liege.
Thirty-three records went by the
board, a truly extraordinary showing
What is particularly gratifying about
it is the fact that every one of these
new worlds marks was made in clean
cut, unequivocal fashion. There is
nothing connected with single one of
them placing it in the questionable
or doubtful class. All have been made
under the full glare of publicity and
hedged about with all the technical re-
quirements necessary for absolute au-
thenticity.
Of none of them is there the slight
est bubble that the time officially an
nounced was an iota faster than that
really made. Indeed, in some instances
it is known that the horses, according
to outside watches, went even faster
than the time hung out and placed
upon record.
Another pleasing feature lies in the
fact that almost all the record break
ing has been done by free-legged
horses. The number of the new
champions wearing the hobbies is
small. Frank Bogash, Jr., is the most
conspicuous horse requiring the en-
diana underwear" r. HI. Brett is a
"hobbler" and so are Billy M. and Doc

race record, as we'll as the other team,
Franklin Pierce and Buck Muscovite.
But of the stars of the first magnitude,

considered, is the most wonderful foot
ball machine ever put together.

In 1905 Matthewson got the upper

Another Victim for the Leopards.
At the very hour when Boola was
taking the wild man captive to his
village Edith and Uncle Steve and
Captain Jones found the entrance to
the Caves Of the Hundred Lions.
There they discovered-the cross.
They knew that at last they had
found the home of the wild mantle

Till nearly nightfall they waited for
the homecoming of the wild man. But
Robert Wayne came not, for the simple
reason that he was a captive in Boola's
village, doomed to be lowered the next
morning into the pit containing half a
dozen leopards.

Sorority Of War-Makers.

81 do not think thai any of you are
ignorant, my friends, that the greatest
wars have taken place on account OF
women-the Trojan war on account OF
Helen, the plague which took place in
it was on account Of Chryseis, and the
war called the Sacred War on account
of Theano. This war lasted ten years.
The Crissaean war, which also lasted
ten years, was excited on this account,
because the Crissaeans carried off Me-
gisto, the daughter of Pelagon, and the
daughters of Argiyes as they were re-
turning from the temple.
And whole families have been
ruined owing to women; for instance,
that of Philip, the father Of Alexander,
was ruined on account of his marriage
with Cleopatra, and Hercules was
ruined by his marriage with Iole."

The Inspectors Advice.

The late Inspector McCluskey-
Gentleman George" or "Chesty
George" as, he was known in the New
York force-was good friend and
bad enemy The inspector, while by
no means vindictive, did not readily
forget an injury, and one day an elder

the past rushed excitedly into his Of

your men just called me spawned

about it," "Do? Why, nothing" the
inspector answered. 81 can't patch

Son Doubts Dads Workmanship

DR.. Dan w. Layman, who had a
muskellunge catching record, and who
is proud of his ability in the hunting
field, tells good story on himself.
Mrs. Layman had just completed read
ing an article in the News on the foot
and-mouth cattle disease and the pos
sibility of rabbits being infected with
the malady, when the doctor said to
her:
Mother, 1 believe I will go hunting
the rest of the week."

were you. I am afraid the rabbits
are all SICK" replied Mrs. Lyman.
Then seven-year-old Dan, Jr, spoke
up. LET father go, mother" he said.

THE END.
Should Co on All Fours.

Medical men have found that much
of mans structure is better adapted
to a quadruped. DR.. S. Lewis states
that probably at least half of our ill
nesses are due to sedentary habits and
erect posture and through the latter
weak structures are overWorked,
strong ones weakened from disuse, or
gans sag, intestinal and other tubes
kink, dependent veins overdistend and
toxins are generated.
Gymnastics and other methods for
strengthening and toning the abdomen
are recommended.
Perhaps little exercise on all tours
would be helpful.

The Dawn of Reason.

Now Sandili, the jealous wife and
good-hearted black woman, had lis
tened to all this wrangling between
her liege lord and the white girl, ana
her jealousy had faded away. And
she had heard the white girls appeal
for her fathers recognition. And San
dili's heart was touched. Wherefore
Sandili made great resolve. she
formed plan very distinctly rebel
lious, considering that it had for It's
object the thwarting of Boola's own
plans.
Sandili stole out of the village unob-
served and hurried along the jungle
trail-the trail over which the Euro
pean traders would come that very
day and hour, provided they were TO
