Then Clayton turned back SLOWLY to-
ward the cabin His heart was filled with
happiness. The woman he loved was
safe.
He wondered bv what manner of mira
Gle she had been spared To see her alive
seemed almost unbelievable
AS he approached the cabin he saw Jana
Porter coming out. When she saw him
she hurried forward to meet him.
'Janel" he cried, God has been good
TO us, indeed. Tell me how YOU escaped
what form Providence took to save YOU
for-us."
He had never before called her by her
given name. Forty-eight hours before it
would have suffused Jane Porter with a
soft glow of pleasure TO have heard that
name from Clayton's lips-now It fright
ened her
"Mr. Clayton" she said quietly. ex-
tending her hand, "frst let me thank
you for your chivalrous loyalty to my
dear father. lie has told me how noble

Clayton noticed that she did not re-
turn his familiar salutation, but he felt
no misgivlngs on that score. She had
been through so much. This was no
time to force his love upon her. he quick

II am already repaid" he said. Just

think that I could much longer have en-
dured the pathos of his quiet and un-
complaining grief.
1T was the saddest experience OF my
life, Miss Porter; and then, added to IL,
there was my own grief-the greatest
have ever known. But his was so hope
less-t was pitiful. It taught me that
no love, not even that of a man for his
wife may be so deep and terrible and
self-saorihcing as the love of a father
for his daughter"
The girl bowed her head. There was Il
question she wanted to ask, but it seemed
almost sacrilegious in the face of the
love of these two men, and the terrible
suffering they had endured while she sat
laughing and happy beside god-like
creature of the forest, eating delicious
fruits and looking with eyes of love into
answering eyes.
But love is strange master, and hui
man nature Is still stranger, so she asked
her question. though she was not coward
enough to attempt to justify herself to
her own conscience. She felt self-hate,
but she asked her question nevertheless.

Her tone was almost pleading-her
manner tense with suppressed emotion.
Clayton could not but notice It, and he
wondered, vaguely, why she was so deep

after a moment OF thoughtful pause:
Possibly he Joined his own tribe-the
men who attacked us" He did not know

The girl looked at him wide-eyed for
moment.

Clayton looked puzzled. The little
green-eyed devil taunted him.
"He is a strange. half-savage creature
OF the jungle, Miss Porter. We know
nothing OF him. He neither speaks nor
understands any European tongue-and
his ornaments and weapons are those OF
the West Coast savages."
Clayton was speaking rapidly.
''There are no other human beings

tribes which attacked us, or to some other
equally savage-hs may even be eanni-

Jane Porter blanched.

emphasized the word before.

She was thinking OF what clayton had
said Of the forest mans probable rela-

frame the awful word.
Yes, Miss Porter. they were-cannl-

too, had suddenly come the thought Of
the forest man. and the strange, unac-
countable jealousy he had felt two days
before swept over him once more
And then in sudden brutality that was
as unlike Clayton as courteous consider

quickly and entered the cabin.
Clayton was an Engllshman. so the
girl had passed quite out Of sight before
he deduced what reply a man would have

"Clayton, my boy. know you are tired

But before he did 80 he called gently
to Jane Porter upon the opposite side or
the sail cloth partition. for he wished TO

a piece Of paper and showed II beneath the
partition.
Jane Porter saw the little note and
Ignored It, for she was very angry and
hurt and mortified, but-sho was a

up and read II.

He did think 1t or he never would

One sentence in the letter frightened

she said, addressing Clayton, chat he
VIII come back and that he will prove
that you are wrong. You do not know
him as do. tell you that he is a gen
tleman"
Clayton was a generous and chivalrous
man, but something In the girls breath-
less defense Of the forest man stirred him
TO unreasoning Jealousy so that for the
instant he forgot all that they owed to
this wild demigod, and he answered her
with half sneer upon his lip.
Possibly you are right, Miss Porter"
he said, but do not think that any OF
us need worry about our carrion-eating
acquaintance. The chances are that he
Is some half-demented castaway who will
forget us more quickly. but no more sure
ly than we shall forget him. He Is only
a beast Of the Jungle, Miss Porter"
The girl did not answer, but she felt
her heart shrvel within her. Anger and
hate against one we love steels our
hearts but contempt or pity leaves us
silent and ashamed
She knew that Clayton spoke merely
what he thought, and for the first time
she began TO analyze the structure which
supported her new-found love, and to
tlon.
Slowly she turned and walked back to
the cabin. She tried to imagine her wood
god by her side In the saloon of an ocean
liner. She saw him eating with his hands,
tearing his food like beast OF prey and
wiping his greasy fingers upon his thighs.
She shuddered.
She saw him as she introduced him to
her friends-uncouth, illiterate-a boor;
and the girl WINGED.
She had reached her room now, and as
she sat upon the edge OF her bed Of ferns
and grasses, with one hand resting upon
her rising and falling bosom, she felt the
hard outlines Of the mans locket beneath
her waist
She drew II out holding It in the palm
of her hand for a moment with tear
blurred eyes bent upon 1t. Then she
raised II to her lips. and crushing II there
buried her face in the soft ferns sobbing.
"Beast2' she murmured. Then God
make me beast; for, man or beast, am
yours"
She did not see Clayton again that day.
Esmeralda brought her supper to her, and
she sent word to her father that she was
suffering from the reaction following her
adventure.
The next morning Clayton left early
with the relief expedition in search Of
Lieutenant d'Arnot. There were 200 armed
men this time, with 10 officers and two
surgeons, and provisions for week.
They carried bedding and hammocks,
the latter for transporting their sick and
wounded.
1t was determined and angry company
"a punitive expedition as we'll as one OF
relief. They reached the sight of the
skirmIsh of the previous expedition
shortly after noon, for they were now

lost in exploring.
From there on the elephant track led
straight to Mbonga's village. It was but
o'clock when the mead of the column

French Troops Ready
To Move Against Turks
When Passage Is Open

LONDON, Feb. 2l.--Interest in the
bombardment of the Dardanelles fortifi-
cations by the Anglo-French fleet today
shared the interest with the German
blockade OF the British coast. 1t is
believed that an agreement has been
reached to endeavor to force the pas
sage Of the strait and capture Con-
stantinople.
There is no doubt that Russia has her
hands full with the Austro-German
forces and that little assistance can be-
expected from her at this time against
the Turks. But whether the reduction
Of the forts fronting the Aegeon Sea
would open the way into the Black Sea
was q question on which authorities
disagree.
1t would help, of course. but the en-
tire Dardanelles 10 strewn with mines.
and the Turks can be depended on to
strengthen their fortifications along the
narrow straits in every way.
That the attempt is to be made seems
certain, and the admiralty Is the cen.
ter of interest. 1t Is reported great
French force is in readiness to be sent
to Turkey once the way is opened and
If the Dardanelles can be forced, there
is clear road for Russia to send troops
across the Black Sea to cooperate in
the movement.

QUESTION OF LIQUOR
UP TO REPUBLICANS
Senator Cummins Comes Out
as "Dry' by Declaration
Against Traffic.

The "wet" and "dry" question has
been injected into the preconvention
campaign for the Republican Presidcn-
tlal nomination. 1t is said 1t is not un-
likely that 1t will loom up as deci-
ination at the next Republican national
convention.
Senator Cunmins OF Iowa. who is cne
Of the eight or ten men whose names
are seriously considered for the Repuh-
lican nominatiot. has come out against
the saloon.
In a ninterview today, Senator Cum
Minis said: THE saloon must go. So
briefly must be the rule OF conduct for
the future"
Senator Cummins' statement Is the
first open espousal of the dry cause
by one Of the leading Republican
Presidential candidates. Secretary
Bryan has declared the saloon must
gO. but he Is not considered seriously
for the Democratic nomination., since
1t is well-known President Wilson
seeks renomination and may be re-
nominated.
Senator Cummins' declaration IS the
more interesting in view of what has
just occurred in the Iowa Legislature.
1t has repealed the so-aclled mulct
law and the effect Of this repeal Is
to put the old prohibitory law into
force. thus making Iowa prohibition
State beginning January l. 1876. A
constitutional amendment to make
prohibition permanent IS favored py
the Legislature.

suffered cuts and bruises. The trouble
started when miners attempted to ef-
feet the release of twos miners. who had

The miners drove the sheriff's party

twenty-five special deputies reached

ties, and miner.
