Ten minutes later Barney Custer
broke through the tangled wall of ver-

away.

the dead body of William Curtiss, his

Ing the past three days had become as
well known to him as his mothers
face had been. But what were they
1oing retracing the way they had but
| just covered?
He halted and raised his head to
sniff the air and listen intently for the
| iaintest sound from the direction in
which the beasts had gone when they
eft the old trail at the point that he
lad discovered their spoor.
| The wind however. was blowing
from the opposite direction, so there
was no chance that M could scent
them. He was in doubt as to whether
he should leave the trail of the main
body and follow these two or continue
on his way.
From the manner of their passing
side by side-he was convinced that
each carried rider. since otherwise
they would have gone in single file
after the manner of beasts moving
along a none too wide trail, but there
was nothing to indicate that either
rider was Nat-ul
For an instant he hesitatcd, and then
his judgment told him to keep on after
the main body, for if Nat-ul was a
prisoner she would be with the larger
force-not riding in the opposite direc-
ton with single guard.
Even as he turned to take up the
pursuit again there came family to his
ears from the jungle at his left the
sound of human voice. 1t was a

or hear the ominous growls that rum
bled from his savage throat as he look
ed toward the jungle behind them.
The searching party from the Grey
stroke ranch had come upon Ibn AS
wad so unexpectedly that not n shot
had been exchanged between the two
parties.
The Arabs, pressed from behind by
the savage Wambol warriors. had lit
orally run into the arms of the whites
and the Waziri.
When Grcystoke 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 Waziri, and
when the whites found that Victoria
had been stolen from Ibn Aswad by
one of the sheik's lieutenants only n
few hours before they fastened to
scour the jungle in search of her.
To facilitate their movements and
insure covering as wide n territory as
possible each of the whites took few
Waziri and, spreading out in 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 1t hap
pened that chance brought William
Curtiss, unseen, to the edge of the jun
gle beside the parklike forest, beneath
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
the Americans lips.
Victoria Custer, too, guessed the
thing that Nh contemplated. 1t was.
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 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?

/ VI MH halted before Nat-ul. The
! w w girl rose. facing him, and
for long minute the two
stood in silence looking ut one another
1t was the first opportunity that either
had had to study the features of the
other since the strange miracle that
had separated them.
NJ found that some subtle change
had taken place in his Nat-ul.
1t was she-of that there could be
no doubt, but yet there was that about
her which cast Il spell Of reverentiai
and more wonderful than he ever had
realized.
With the passing of the excitement
Of the battle and the dance the strange
ecstasy which had held the girl in thrall
passed slowly away. The rhythm Of
the dancing of the savage black haired
giant had touched some cord within
her which awoke the long dormant in
stincts of the primordial.
For the time she had been carried
| back hundred thousand years to the
childhood of the human race. She had
not known for those brief instants Vic
| tOria Custer or the twentieth century
or its civilization, for they were yet a
thousand centuries in the future.
But now once more she saw through
the eyes of generations of culture and
refinement. Before her was n print

| In his eyes was the fire OF Il great
love that would not be denied. About
her was the Wild fierce forest and the
/ cruel jungle, and behind all this. and
beyond, her vision wandered to the
world she had always known-the
world of cities and homes and gentle
folk.
She saw her father and her mother
and her friends. What would they
say2
Again she let her eyes rest upon the
man. 1t was with difficulty that she
restrained a desire to throw herself
upon his broad breast and weep out
her doubts and fears close to the beat
ing of his great heart and in the safety
of those protecting arms.
But with the wish there rose again
the question, "What would they sayf"
to hold her trembling and frightened
from him.
The man saw something of the girls
trouble in her eyes, but he partially
misinterpreted it, for he read fear of
himself where there was principally
self fear, and, because of what he had
heard Curtiss say, he thought that he
saw contempt, too, for primitive peo-
pie are infinitely more sensitive than
their more sophisticated brothers.
