back out Of tho ages to claim her.
The man put an arm about her waist,
and together the two turned toward
the west in the direction that Abul

hind them and with leveled rifle took
deliberate aim at the back of the black
haired giant.
Nor did they see the swift spring of
the wolfhound nor the thing that fol.
lowed there beneath the brooding ST.
lence of the savage jungle.
Ten minutes later Barney Custer
broke through the tangled wall of ver-
dure upon a sight that took his breath
away.
There stood the two patient donkeys,
switching their tails and tapping their
long ears. Beside them lay the corpse
of Abul Mukarram and upon the edge
of the jungle at his feet. was stretched
the dead body of William Curtiss. his
breast and throat torn by savage
fangs.
Across the clearing a great, gaunt
wolfhound halted in its retreat at the
sound of Barney's approach.
The beast barred its bloody fangs in
an ominous growl of warning and then
turned and disappeared into the jungle.
Barney advanced and examined the
soft ground about the donkeys and the
body Of the Arab.
He saw the imprints of a mans
naked feet and the smaller impress of
a woman's riding boots.
He looked toward the jungle where
Terkoz had disappeared.
What had his sister gone to within
the somber. savage depths beyond?
What would he bring her back to were
he to follow after?
He doubted that she would come
without her dream man. Where would
she be happier with HMM the pitt
less jungle. which was the only world
he knew. or in the still more pitiless
haunts Of civilized men?
A moment later he had reached his
decision. and with resolution strong in
the very swing Of his stride he entered

The searching party from the Grey
stroke ranch had come upon Ibn AS
wad so unexpectedly that not a shot
had been exchanged between the two
parties.
The Arabs, pressed from behind by
the savage Wa't ,oli warriors. had lit
orally u into the arms Of the whites
and the Waziri.
When Greystoke demanded that the
white girl be turned over to him at
once Ibn Aswad smOte his breast and
swore that there had been no white
girl with them. but one Of the slaves
told a different story to a Waziri. and
when the whites found that Victoria
had been stolen from Ibn Aswad by
n Of the sheik's ~lieutenants only a
few hours before they fastened to
scour the jungle in search of her.
To facilitate their movements and
insure covering as wide a territory as
possible each Of the whites took a few
Waziri and, spreading out in a far
flung skirmish line. beat the jungle in
the direction toward which the slave
had told them Abul Mukarram had
ridden.
To comb the jungle finely each white
spread his Waziri upon either side of
him. and thus they advanced. seldom
in sight of one another. but always
within hailing distance. And so it hap
pened that chance brought William
Curtiss, unseen. to the edge of the jun

the giant trees of which he saw a
tableau that brought him to a sudden
halt.
There was the girl he loved and
sought. apparently unframed, and two
donkeys, and the dead body Of an
Arab, and \the great wolfhound, look
ing toward his hiding place and growl-
ing menacingly. and before the girl the
savage white man stood.
Curtiss was about to spring forward
when he saw the man place the butt
of his spear upon the ground and the
point against his heart. The act and
the expression upon the mans face pro-
claimed his intention, and so Curtiss
drew back again. waiting for the per-
petration of the deed that he knew was
coming.
A smile Of anticipation played about

At the edge of the jungle M came

"A girl in Bulgarian village is not

or fountains are the scene of much
sociability. Hither come all the youths
and maidens of the village to loiter.
There is coquetting and counting
about the fountain and home gather

from mutual attraction and choice,

Stencil Was Horrible.

"Our bombardment of May played
havoc with the German trenches; q
great number Of the roofs on the nuts
had fallen during the cannonading,
burying alive all the occupants. Around
these places the stencil was horrible.
"All through these trenches was evil
dence of heavy losses on the part of
the Germans; at intervals arms and
legs protruded from the walls and
floors, and all in all it was gruesome
journey. AS a result of May our
line is advanced about two miles, but
the Germans hold dangerous position
on the side of a large hill and it will
be hard work chasing them off.
1--WE have been out to dig trenches
and. believe me, you sure do work.
Imagine getting no aad working on
the ground about ESQ yards from the
German line, with them shooting all
the time Work! You bet the men
work with will, and it does not take
them very long to get good trench
dug.
Walk Nine Miles to Work.

town to the first line, dig a trench
and walk back. We leave at p. m.

walking nine miles to work.

There are husking bees and quilt

social entertainment is the sedanka.
Here assemble the young men and
women of the village and adjoining
farms, grouped about an open fire,

W wOW much of the strength Of
81 Bulgaria, whose steady prog
ress during the last forty years
B Fl of troubled existence has COM
PEELED the admiration of on
looking nations, is owing to Its sturdy
womanhood is explained for the Ma
tional Geographic society by Hester
Donaldson Jenkins, an American edu-
Gator in the Balkans, in monograph
upon Bulgaria and It's Women" Con-
trasting the Bulgarian girls with the
other girls of the Balkans, Miss Jen-
kins says:
Among the oriental girls with
whom | lived in my nine years resi-
dence in the near East, none interest
ed me more than the Bulgarians. They
are, perhaps, the least oriental of the
eight or more nationalities to be
found in the Constantinople college, of
which | was a professor. They are
fairer and brighter in coloring than
the Armenians, Greeks or Persians,
rather taller and larger on an average,
and have far more energy and less
languor than the Turk"
The Bulgarian girls, the writer con-
tinues, distinguished themselves from
the others by a certain wholesome,
out-of-door quality, a sanity which
marked them sharply from the fanci-
full, sentimental and weaker-nerved
girls Of some of the other nationali-
ties.
Beautiful Bulgarian Girls.
Of the Bulgar girls physical lovelr
ness, she says:
Bulgarian girls incline to round
ness of contour and figure, many of
them having round, full faces, ripe,
rosy mouths, and dimples. This ef-
feet Is heightened by the fashion of
wearing the hair in braids wound
about the head. One sees plenty of
dark hair in Bulgaria, but one also
looks with pleasure on warm brown
tints, chestnut tresses, and occasion
ally auburn heads. One Of the most
beautiful girls ever saw was a Bull
garian, with glorious mass of copper
colored waves, a clear, pale skin,
handsomely set gray eyes, delicate
mouth, and small white teeth, and the
height and carriage of a princess.
"The bright cheeks that so many of
the Bulgarians have are pleasant
change from the dark or pale skins OF
the Armenians and Greeks. Their
eyes are generally less large and Ian
guorous than oriental eyes, looking
you squarely in the face, with more
frankness and less seduction"
Miss Jenkins gives the following
melodious samples Of the names of
her Bulgarian pupils: Nadezda, Ma
delka, Xarafinka, Blagoya, Vesselina,
Goonka, Zdravka. The last names all
end in "off" for the men and iowa" for
