glance recognized him as the man she
had seen the day before.
When she was dozen rods away,
the tall man turned his face from the
stream and sent after her the long
restrained look. There was something
akin to cautiousness in that look of
his, as If he were afraid that she
might turn her head suddenly and
catch him at it. Something began

for her accustomed tramp over the

Sara, the American, dawdled at home,

did not in the least discourage the
Englishwoman.

CHAPTER XII.
A Photograph Of the Wild Man.


"And derned If he isn't q white
mani" continued Capt. Duncan Jones,
recovering from the spell cast over
him by the strange apparition. II
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
1t. We must capture that wild man
and take it home in q 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 n 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 fred the shots Steele had a
camera and prepared to use it. The
shikarls 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
appariton appeared and the camera
caught 1t, standing by the lions.
The apparition had long name and
tawny beard and was dressed in a
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 tooth for
tooth, I would rend thee both asun.
der with these. my naked hands. Thus
would punish thee for Staying two of
my friends OF the forest. For here
lie my good friends, Solomon and
Sheba Woe to thee, IL again 1 hear
the thunder of thy weapons!"
With that the wild man turned and
fed.
After HIM" commanded Lieutenant
Steele, turning to those of the Kafirs
who carried spears.
"Yes, capture him!" cried Lieuten.
ant Rodman. He's wild white man!
Get him! But don't harm a hair of his
head"
The Kafirs sped away in the direc-
tion taken by Doctor Wayne. Soon, in
a clearing, they espied him. One OF
