went very close to him and put her
arms on his shoulders and said:
Father, look at me. Look into my
eyes. am the exact image of my
mother as you last saw her. Look!
Look closely!"
The wild man stared seemingly into
her very soul. Then memory swept
through his brain-an overwhelming
food of thoughts.
'Mollie!" he cried. "You are my
wife, Mollie!"
NO." she corrected, joy ringing in
her young voice. Il am Edith-your
daughter Edith"
All this time the Kafirs at the top
of the pit were waiting for the coming
of Boola Boola, at the moment, was
hunting high and low for his favorite
wife, Sandili
In the pit the wild man, who had so
suddenly regained memory of his past,
was still dazed by the flood Of recollec-
tons.
Il am Edith, your daughter" the girl
insisted.
Heaven is certainly good to uS-my
Edith" Doctor Ware now said. But
stand back. See! Boola has arrived
up there. They are now opening tie
door to let out the leopards,"
Slowly the iron-barreo door rose
and out from the inner recess and into
the main pit came six leopards.
Edith iattened herself against the
wall Of the pit in mortal fear, watch
ing her father, who stood between her
and the leopards with his arms uplift-
ed in commanding gesture.

particular the one showing the wild

The following evening Captain Jones
dined, en- famille, with the Wayne
family. After dinner Jones and Uncle
Steve foregathered in the smoking
den and pulled their cigars till Edith
entered, saying:
Il just can't wait, captain. l want
70 see those photographs right away"
Jones produced the photographs.
Together the three examined them one
by one, till suddenly Edith sat trans

was lowered Doctor Wayne and Edith
were safe from the leopards. Captain
Jones and Uncle Steve now jumped
down into the pit. While Duncan en-
braced Edith Uncle Steve and Doctor
Wayne Rugged each other like two
bears
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 nus
bands breast, saying:
Robert, do you know what spared
you to be brought back to me?"
What was it, Mollie, dear?" Doctor
Wayne asked:
1T was because, Robert, dear-be-
cause you were in tune with the wild. =
At that very moment young,
bronze-faced man of military bearing
and a young woman with golden hair
were seated in the diner of a train
speeding on its 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'"

dragged her toward the hut where
dwelt the main body of his harem.
You mine!" Boola said You l like!
You l keep! You fine wife!"
mo, MOI" Edith protested. mo, let
me go, you brute!"
moi" sternly interposed Sandili,
the jealous wife. mo, no! You no
keep her, Boola You have plenty wife
now. Me no like white wife"
YES" Boola repeated.
And the jealous Sandili gritted her
ivory teeth in rage.
you beast, let go of mel" Edith now
cried, as Boola tried to thrust her into
his hut. And she fought SO hard that
presently Boola was exceeding wroth.
'See!" he said, turning to his war
riors and showing his arms and hands,
bleeding from little wounds. Her
claws are as the leopard's and her
teeth take hold like the hyena's when
it is compelled to fight. l want not
such a wife. Get the white man and
then take this white woman and throw
them both together into the pit with
the leopards. We shall have what the
white people call great sport"
And thus it came about that Edith
at last met the wild man, for Doctor
Wayne was now brought into view.
Father" Edith screamed as they
dragged the wild man forward. Faith
err! 1t is I-your Edith"
But the wild man, the man without
fear, was still without reason. He
was still man with clouded memory
of the pasta man whose recollection
of his former self was zero. So he did
not recognize his daughter. He spoke
to her as to a stranger, thus:
Maiden, fear not. They will cast
US both into the pit with the leopards.
But be not afraid. Thou shalt not per-
ish, no more than |. The leopards will
hurt thee not, maiden, for they and
their kinds are my friends"
Edith clutched him nevertheless in
hysterical fear.
Father" she cried. "Oh, father
to think, even after have found you
to think that you do not know me. Oh,
father, this is terrible!"

CHAPTER XVII.
The Dawn OF Reason.

Now Sandili, the jealous wife and
gOod-hearted black woman, had lis
tened to ali this wrangling between
her liege lord and the white girl, and
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 a great resolve. She
formed a plan very distinctly rebel
lious, considering that it had for its
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
arrive at the time named by the run
ners who had reached the village as
their advance heralds.
Sandili would meet the traders and
save the white girl from a horrible
death in the pit For the heart of San
dill was really white heart in black
body.
Meantime, to the edge of the deep
pit the Kafirs dragged the wild man
and the maiden.the father and the
daughter. One look down into the
pit puzzled Edith. She could see no
leopards. She wondered where the
blacks kept the beasts which she was
to confront.
She screamed with fright as they
gave her father push that forced him
to leap down into the pit. And terror
took possession of her as she found
herself suddenly seized by men with a
rope This rope they tied about her
and then
Father, save me-" she cried, as they
lowered her into the pit.
When she felt the ground under her
feet she freed herself from the rope.
And then for the first time she saw the
leopards. The beasts were in an inner
recess-just within an iron-barred door
that would presently be lifted by Kafirs
hauling on a chain at the top of the
pit.
Edith turned to the wild man with a
desperate resolve. She had a fresh
plan to bring back her fathers memory
and cause him to recognize her. She

CHAPTER XVIII.
What SandiIi Did,

WnaC SdnOIiI OsO.
Doctor Wayne spoke to the Ieopards
in an authoritative tone. The beasts
halted.
The doctor then knelt and called to
them in a 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.
But what was Edith's horror now,
when suddenly she heard Boola at the
top of the pit order his men to build
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
leoparos with hot spears"
Il 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
much as a finger, lest you attract the
attention of these leopards when they
begin to tire of this play with me-"
So the man in tune with the wild
held the leopards in play for two min
utes-three, four minutes. And then

in her hand
Who is that" she asked, indicat-
ing a figure in the photograph.
That's the wild man." answered
Jones. See! He is standing there
denouncing my friends for killing
those two lions"
A photograph of Ediths father-as
be appeared at the time of his sup
table. A long minute Edith compared
the two pictures-the one in the frame
and the unmounted kodak picture.
Captain. Uncle Steve!" she cried
Look! Look. This wild man-why,
it's father-I'm sure of it,
Half an hour later the three friends
entered the library where Mrs. Wayne
sat in her invalid chair asleep.
~Mother." whispered Edith.
Mrs. Wayne awoke
Are you prepared for good news
great news-wonderful news, Mollie?"
Uncle Steve asked.
Why, yes, Steve. 1 feel remark

Look at this picture-and then at
this, Uncle Steve said, handing Mrs.
Wayne the two photographs, one show

other showing DR.. Robert Wayne as
a missionary.

in a tone of transcendent joy. Its

Before Captain Duncan Jones left

Uncle Steve had planned the details of

which they would start the very next

INJURED. "The iends are about to hurI

But just then a great shouting was

"Duncan!" Edith cried, in great joy.
Careful, Edith" her father called
Don't move"

Not yet, Edith, my child" her
father retorted. Il must first induce
these animals to return to their lair
in the inner pit"
"Our Kafirs are chasing Boola and
his warriors all over the place." Cap
tain Jones called down. you need
have no more fear of Boola Our boys
and the Kafirs employed by the Euro
pean traders whom we met on the trail
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
mo, no." answered Doctor Wayne,
slowly rising, without taking his eyes
from the leopards. AT the first smell
of blood-if you kill one of these
brutes-the rest will set upon US.
Wait"
Doctor Wayne now moved slowly to
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

CHAPTER XVI.

Another Victim for the Leopards.
At the very hour when Boola was
taking the wild man a 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
sanctuary of Doctor Wayne.
Till nearly nightfall they waited for
the homecoming of the wild man. But
Robert Wayne came not, for the simple
reason that he was captive in Boola's
village, doomed to be lowered the next
morning into the pit containing half q
dozen leopards.
Come, we must leave now, as night
is falling" said Uncle Steve to Edith
and Captain Jones. With darkness,
wild beasts will be coming forth from
their lairs within this cave"
So back to their camp they rode, ate
their supper and lay down to hopeful
dreams of finding the wild man on the
morrow.
In the morning, when Edith emerged
from her tent, Uncle Steve informed
her. that Duncan had already gone
forth to the Caves of the Hundred
Lions in the hope of intercepting the
wild man before he left this rock
mansion for the day.
Edith, with the healthy appetite of
youth, consumed the breakfast that
the Kafirs put before her, then waited
and waited. And still Duncan Jones
did not return. Uncle Steve was writ
ing letters home.
I'm going to that cave myself"
Edith told herself.
She ordered the Kaf1rs to saddle a
horse. And presently she rode out of
the camp, leaving Uncle Steve still
busy with his correspondence.
She rode through the jungle in di-
rection which she supposed would
bring her to the Cave of the Hundred
Lions. She was riding, instead, toward
the village of Chief Boola
At water hole she dismounted. The
horse drank, and so did Edith. Then,
at the approach of thirsty lion, Edith
ran and her horse bolted-in opposite
directions.
On and on Edith ran, till she saw a
Kaf1r village. How could she know that
this was the kraal of BoOla, the col
lector of wives and wild animals? Be-
fore she was aware that she was on
hostile ground she had entered the viii
lage.
The first black she encountered was
none other than Sandili, the favorite
wife of Boola-the exceedingly jealous
wife of the king of the tribe.
What want you here?' Sandili
asked in English. For she had learned
English from the European traders
who came annually to buy the animals
in the pit and whose arrival was ex-
pected this very day and hour.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-09-09

Chief Boola was the beautiful Sandili,
for whom he had paid full eighty-five
head of cattle.
Sandili was, moreover, a jealous
wife. Every time Boola bought a new
spouse Sandili would treat the new
conner as less than the dust beneath
her feet and keep the poor woman thus
in proper subsection. But at that she
was a good-hearted Katir woman.
Though she insisted upon keeping her
rivals in the harem at hard labor, she
would never deliberately cause them
bodily suffering. And because Sandili
was a good-hearted woman, Edith
Wayne would presently have reason to
thank her stars.
Now, this same Chief Boola-suc-
cessor to Amazu-had established a
business new to Kafirland. He dug a
deep, deep pit which served as a
"storehouse" for the new business
The enterprise was nothing less than
the capture of wild animals. Leopards,
lions. cheetahs and the like would be
taken in nets and then Boola would
throw these captive beasts into the
deep pit, there to thrive on meat fur
nished by Boola till the coming of
European traders in wild animals, to
whom Boola would sell the beasts.
That Chief Boola was engaged in
this lid animal enterprise and that
he possessed deep pit full of wild
beasts of the jungle, Edith Wayne
could again thank her stars.
For Edith Wayne was even now not
so very far from the village and the
pit and the wives of Chief Boola With
Uncle Steve, and with Capt. Duncan
Jones, to whom she was now engaged
to be married, and with the half hun
dred Kafirs forming their safari, Edith
Wayne was encamped in the jungle.
Now, on a certain day in August,
Edith and her party set forth on horses
to look once again for sign of the
wild man. This particular morning, as
luck would have it, the wild man had
left his home in the Caves of the Hun
dred Lions and was even now wander
ing on the trail of wounded leopard
a WuOSO u0 WlSnSQ " neal
This same morning, too, as luck
would have it, Chief Boola and his
men we're abroad in the jungle, ready
to capture wild animals and take them
to the pit.
The result was that the wild man
and Boola both saw the wounded
leopard at about the same time. Which
was all the worse for the leopard and
for the wild man. For the leopard
bounded away and never did get
healed of its wound, while the wild
man was roped by Boola and bound by
Boola's men, hand and foot, and
dragged back to Boola's village.
For Boola had often heard of the al
legged power of this wild man over wild
beasts. And he did not believe half the
stories that were poured into his ears.
So now, having captured this white
man, he determined to test his prison
er's power by casting him into the
deep pit with the wild animals.
Feed him we'll over night" was
BooIas order to his men, land he will
be all the bigger meal for the leopards
in the pit in the morning"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-09-09

Before Edith could answer, Boola'
and a lot more of his wives appeared.
Also many Kafr warriors came from
their conical huts up and down the
village street"
By this time Edith was, of course,
terribly alarmed.
Let me go!" she cried Historically,
as Boola seized her BY the hand and

many wives. After each successful
raid on a neighboring tribe he would

spouses with the stolen cattle.
