spike pain Immediately vanished. AS
if in token of it's gratitude, the lion
licked the hand of the man whose doc
toring had made the beast able again
to compete physically with other
beasts of the jungle.
Farewell, Solomon" called the
wild man, as the lion bounded away.
Give my love to Sheba, who / know

ing at your lair"
Again onward through the jungle
strobe the man who knew no fear
till suddenly he halted, gazing ahead
s%pellbound at the apparition that con-
fronted him. .
The apparition was a man of a race
which Wayne could not remember hav-
ing ever seen before-a Caucasian.
The white man, who stood not SO
feet from Doctor Wayne, had a rifle. He
was aiming the gun at an object.
Wayne looked to see at what the white
mar was so carefully aiming that
deadly weapon. He saw a leopard
crouched on a fallen tree, watching
evidently for a bird Of which to make
a dainty meal. This crouching leopard
was none other than one of Doctor
Wayne's own house guests, Mark.
DON'T" shouted Wayne, his voice
rending the jungle silence like a clap
Of thunder. DON'T" he repeated.
For the first time the white mar
himself beheld an apparition-seem-
ing a wild man, whom he instantly
recognized, however. as of the white
race, yet one become SO strangely wild
that he seemed like a prehistoric cave
man come to life in the forest primeval.
"Art thou so afraid of yonder beast
that thou wouldst kill it?" Wayne
said, advancing toward the stranger.
II will show thee that yonder beast Is
not to be feared. Behold, man OF
fear, how the beast of the forest will
yield itself to man when man has
proved to be a friend!"
Wayne went to the leopard, lifted
It bodily over his head, wound the
1.-the and elastic form around his neck
and shoulders like a mighty collar
Thus with Mark, the leopard, wrapped
around him, the wild man vanished
into the thick of the jungle.

CHAPTER K.
In Tune With the Wild.


Just within the entrance to the
Caves of the Hundred Lions, where
water from out the rock wall trickled
down and formed a natural sunken
bath, a man OF massive frame, with a
tawny beard and hair like a name, clad
only in a lions skin, was eating his
breakfast-wild honey, wild cherries
and other jungle fruit.
His features were those Of a white
sman, but the color of his skin was as
dark as that of some of the Kafrs who
Asaw him frequently in the jungle and
who always left him unmolested. For
the black men held in awe this wild
looking man with the hypnotic eyes
who c~onsorted with wild beasts as
with human companions.
The bronzed hue of his skin was the
result of Is years of exposure to the
rays of the sun that pierced the jun
gle fastness. For Is years he had in
habited the Caves of the Hundred
Lions, with all kinds OF wild beasts for
] his friends.
If there was that in his manner and
Cooks that suggested madness, it sure
~ was madness most mild. Fol with
benign mien he talked to his four-foot-
ed companions as n who loved all
living things.
His companions now, as he ate his
breakfast, were four leopards, two
monkeys and two parrots. To these
he talked as to human table compan-
ions.
Matthew" he said, addressing one
of the leopards, thou dost lie there
for all the world like a sick child.
Here, Matthew, is weed like unto cat
nip-a morsel of medicinal herb
which 1 brought thee from the brook
that is half a days walk from this
spot. Eat of it, Matthew. 1t will cure
thee, thou poor, sick cat!"
DR.. Robert Wayne thrust the weed
into the leopard's mouth.
Yes, this was DR.. Robert Wayne
though he knew not his name nor any
thing about himself prior to the day
when he had awakened from a long
sleep to find himself in this very cave.
Having administered to Matthew,
Doctor Wayne now turned his atten-
ton to the other leopards.
Mark! Luke! joint" he cried.
@'Thou art three lazy ones this morn
ing, Thou art late in securing thy
breakfast. Away with thee! Go forth
and seek that which thy palates
crave"
He seized Mark by the neck and
tail and threw him out of the cave.
Like children who feared similar treat.
ment, Luke and John followed Mark
of their w accord.
"And as for thee, Ruth, and thee,
Naomi" Wayne continued, speaking to
the parrots, ''see, here are worms"
He placed little writhing things on
the cross where the parrots perched.
The cross! 1t was made rudely Of
two tree boughs. 1t was the symbol
In the wilderness of this mans former
calling and of the gospel that he had
sought to teach to the Kafirs. He
knelt by the cross now and prayed.

Game Beino E~xterminated.

Indiscriminate slaughter of Samb-
har by villagers in India, is likely to-
cause the determination of this nobla
species of deer. Even now they are
very hard to find in places where they
used to be common. These large
deer can be easily killed without the
use of firearms and with the aid OF
even one or two useless pariah dogs.
A dog has only got to chase n or
even a herd and they make for the
closest water available and stand I'M
it, and so long IS the dog stays near
them and barks they will not leave
the water but will allow themselves
to be surrounded and killed by men
armed with only sticks and axes.

OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
Mesopotamia Boat, Known as kufa,
Known to Have Been in Use Be-
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, a curious circular boat
made of basketwork, and seen no.
where else in the world, is a com.
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only a cent each pas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft-they are not cas-
lily upset. Their carrying capacity also
is great, and the kufa men pack in
their passengers like behring's in a bar

says a writer in the Wide World. They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out of
leaves of the same palm, thickly plas.
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers cam
one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport of
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river.
About three men are required - make
a kufa of respectable size, and il
takes them some twenty days to build
it. Like the kelek. the kufa is of
great antiquity, for both these strangs
craft were in use long before the time
of Christ. The evidence of this is in.
disputable. for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace of Sennacherib both
craft are clearly represented.

Half an hour later the three friends
entered the library where Mrs. Wayne
sat in her invalid chair asleep.
"Mother!" whispered Edith.
Mrs. Wayne awoke.
Are you prepared for good news
great news-wonderful news,.Mollie?"
Uncle Steve asked.
why, yes, Steve. I feel remark
ably strong tonight. What has hap
pened?"

in a tone of transcendent joy. ITS

Before Captain Duncan Jones left

the Kafrs, disobeying the orders of the
white men, hurled his assegai. The
spear struck Wayne in the flesh of his
back and lodged there. Like a Spartan
of old, Wayne reached round and
pulled the spear free of his body and
then staggered on. Weakened by loss OF
blood, however, he fell in his tracks.
The natives rushed forward to seize
him. But just then a great numbering
body came crashing through the under
brush and out into the clearing. 1t
was Toddles, the elephant, the senti-
mel, who acted rs guard at the IGOR to
the Caves of the Hundred Lions when
ever Wayne was within.
The Africans fed, for Africans, un-
like Hindus, fear elephants and hate
them.
Straight to Wayne came Toddles,
and lifting the fallen man from the
ground with his trunk, carried him
through the jungle back to the en-
trance to the Caves of the Hundred
Lions. There Toddles deposited Doc
tor Wayne gently on the ground.
Later in the day, Lieutenants Steele
and Rodman reached camp, where they
found Captain Jones awaiting them.
"Good bag for the last day Of our
African hunt" said Steele, j%ubilantly.
"Look!" And proudly he showed
Jones the two dead lions brought IN by

Jones, thoughtfully. Perhaps he's

CREED AND POLITICS. In an
swer to an article in The Day Book
Of Tuesday, March 80, under the
heading, Church and Politics,
signed American" 1t is not very
often l humble myself to answer
such as was stated under the above
heading, but occasionally am forced
to, merely to prove to such people
at claim to be American citizens"
that they fall far short of being such
on account of at one time acknOwl-
edging to profess the belief of the
teachings of the Catholic church and
after number of years practicing
its teachings, finally drops the church
because he or she claimed a certain
priest told some members of his
church it was their duty to vote and
support Roger Sullivan for U. S. SEN
ator.
Without going into details, it is
very simple indeed to judge this per-
sons mind and ability by the state
ment which said: cat one time this
person was Catholic, but on ac-
count of the statement above, made
by this certain priest, he or she
dropped the church" Just think
Dropped the church for politics. He
OF she sure must have been a fine
representative of the Catholic
church.
am going to state right here that
he or she never was nor never will
be Catholic. If he or she ever was,
such statement as above would never
be made because it is not so. l have
been a Catholic for the past twenty
seven years (an my life) and visited
Catholic churches as far as the Pacif-
ic ocean and have yet to hear re-
mark made such as this so-called

American said he or she mad heard. I
will go as far as to say that if this
so-called Americans record was
looked up you would find many other
reasons for their leaving the Catholic
church. Politics is or never will be
mentioned inside the Catholic
church, and anyone who will make
such statement in my estimation is
surely menace to this country, for
such a statement has no foundation
and, to make it plain and short, it is
rotten lie.
l am not prejudiced against any
ones creed or nationality or belief in
politics, but am against any one that
will at one time acknowledge and
practice the teachings of any church,
leave it and condemn the teachings of
any church for such a thing as pol
itics, no matter what kind of politics,
and any one that is broad-minded
and not prejudiced will abide by my
remarks, irrespective of their religion
or politics.
l also had to laugh when l read in
the same article by this American
that Catholic priests also prescribe
what the members of the Catholic
church shall eat and wear, also what
kind of amusement they shall enjoy.
Any fair-minded man or woman sure
ly will know that such remarks are
the work of feeble-minded person
who has no respect for himself or for
this American country. - EdW. P.
