CHAPTER XIV.
The Wild Animal Pit.

II the Kafir village in British East
Africa, where Amazu once reigned,
Chief Boola now was ruler Boola had
many wives. After each successful
raid on neighboring tribe he would
buy new wife, paying for these
spouses with the stolen cattle.
The favorite of all the wives of
Chief Boola was the beautiful Sandili,
for whom he had paid full eighty-fve
head of cattle.
Sandili was, moreover, 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 subjection. But at that she
was, a good-hearted Kafir 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 Kafrland. 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 wild animal enterprise and that
he possessed a 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 anl The wives CT Chief Boola With
Uncle Steve, ard with Capt Duncan
Jones, to whom she was now engaged
to be married, and with the half hun
dred Kafrs forming their safari, Edith
Wayne was encamped in the jungle.
New, on a certain day in August,
Edith and her party set forth on horses
to look once again for a 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 Liens and was even now wander
ing on the trail of a wounded leopard
a friend whose hurt he wished to heal.
This same morning, too, as luck
would have it, Chief Boola and his
men were 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 @he 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

eyes! I've already phoned to my
fellow-patronesses of the assembly
ball-and we're going to give dance
tonight-impromptu-in honor of Cap
tain Jones and his party"
At ten o'clock that night the assem-
bly, ball was in full swing. Edith had
already danced with many young men
who we're more or less open suitors for
her hand More than one Of these
fashionable swains had proposed TO
her. But each in turn hod become a
brother" through the diplomacy Of
Edith Wayne. She had no one fa-
vorite among them. She liked them
all, but she loved none.
Capt Duncan Jones, after tango
with one of the beautiful maidens Of
the City of Angels, excused himself
and left the ballroom He was cross
ing an anteroom on his way out for
a smoke when he met Mrs. Morris.
They chatted till the ballroom again
swarmed with dancers doing the max
ike. Edith danced past the doorway Of
the anteroom.
"There!" said Captain Jones.
There's the girl l want to meet, Mrs.
Morris. Do you know her."
The result was that when the max
ike ended, Edith entered the ante
room and Mrs. Morris forthwith pre-
sented Capt. Duncan Jones.
Edith felt distinct quake in her
soul. Her heart beat fast. The cap
tain, she was certain, with his bronzed
face and athletic form, was the hand
soonest, manifest man she had ever
seen.
Shall we dance?" asked Captain
Jones, as the orchestra broke forth
into another of the Argentine steps.
NO." Edith replied. Il want to ask
you about Africa
They strolled out into the moonlit
garden, where the air was fowerper-
fumed and where fountains made CUR
Cling, tinkling music.
They talked Of Africa, and Edith
told him Of her own childhood passed
in the jungle and of the tragic passing
of her father.
Near the end of this, their first
happy hour together in the moonllt
garden, Captain Jones said:
"And-oh, yes-in the jungle I met a
wild man
wild mani" Edith exclaimed.
''Black, Of course!"
"No. White"
"a white wild man! How strange!
Why did you not get his story?"
1--WE couldn't" Jones replied. "He
was a sort of human island entirely
surrounded by wild animals. And our
Kafrs refused to try to find him for
US. He was wild, yet, somehow, Miss
Wayne, in the one brief encounter 1
had with that wild man there was
something about him that deeply in
terested me. He seemed to be-com-
pletely in tune with the wild"
Edith started
In tune with the Wild" she cried,
in low, thoughtful tone. How CO
incidental, Those were the very
words my father often Ised-in tune
with the Wild Captain Jones, tell me
more of this wild man"
But just then Uncle Steve appeared,
looking for Edith.

of Commerce materialize, Honolulu
will be supplied with a system where
by any interested citizen-or visitor
may see at glance just when each
road and street I'm Honolulu was built
and the occasions on which il was re-
paired. ....=
The suggestion that the chamber
get back of a movement of this ma
ture was made by Vice-President Wal
lace r. harrington at q recent meet
ing of the members of the ,organiEa-
ton. The committee on municipal
affairs took the matter up and, after
an Investigation, found that 1t would
be highly impracticable to put a plate
on each street which would contain
the dates of building and repair. The
concluded and will recon-
mend that a number be assigned to
each street in each district and that
the number be carved in the, CURLING
in conspicuous place ...
This number would then be record
ed in the office of the road depart
ment, and all improvements on a
street be carried out as of the num-
Der of that street. -
Regarding this matter, the commit
tee on municipal affairs has reported
to the board of directors as follows:
"In the matter of having marks
erected somewhere ON the streets of
the City and County of Honolulu,
which would show the date of build
ing and the dates OF repairs ofgstreets,

ject sought is to enable individuals
noting conditions of streets by refer
ring to these marks to ascertain with

Operation of Moving Picture Shows
on Sunday in Iowa is Violation
of Sunday Labor Law

Des Moines, May 25.-Operating a
moving picture show on Sunday in
Iowa is a violation of the Sunday

vein.
Warne and Schneider operate a
moving picture house at Oelwein.
Previous to Oct. 10, 1912, there was
an agitation in that city against Sun
day shows. Information was filed
against the men before a justice of
the peace charging them with per-
forming labor on Sunday other than
that required by charity or necessity.
They were found guilty and fined So
and costs. They appealed to the
district court where the decision was
affirmed. The case then went to the
supreme court where it was again
affirmed.
