CHAPTER VII.
The Slave Market,

The Slave Market.
Having decided upon the fate OF
kathlyn. the natives set about recap
turing the wild elephant. 1t took the
best part of the morning. When this
was accomplished the journey to ALA
ha was begun. But for the days OF
peace and quiet OF the wilderness and
the consequent hardness of her flesh,
kathlyn would have suffered greatly
Half the time she was compelled to
walk. There were no howdahs, and it
was difficult feat to sit back Of the
mahout. The rough skin OF the ele-
plant had the same effect upon the
calves of her legs that sandpaper
would have had. Sometimes she
stumbled and fell, and was rudely
terked to her feet. Only the day be-
fore they arrived was she relieved in
any way; she was given litter, and
in this manner she entered the hate
full city.
On the way to the slave mart they

prison walls of the palace. The ele-
plants veered off here into a side
street. toward the huge square where
horses and cattle and elephants were
bought and sold. The litter, in charge

look at the prison the prisoner within.

hands. beheid her in a vision-but in
happy. joyous vision. busying about
the living room of the bungalow
And far away younger man beheld
vision as very tenderly he gazed at
Kathlyn's discarded robe and resumed
his determined quest. Often. standing
beyond his evening fires. he would ask
the silence. "Kathlyn, where are
you?" Even then he was riding fast
toward Alfalfa.
A slave mart is rare thing these
days. but at the time these scenes.
