| The stake is set"
The guard pushed Korak from the sheIk's

space in the centre Of the village. where
| high stake was set In the ground II had
not been intended for burnings, but offered
a convenient place to tie up refractory
slaves that they might be beaten-oft-
times until death relieved their agones.
To this stake they bound Korak. Then
they brought brush and piled II about him,
ana the shetk came and stood by that he
might watch the agonies of his victim.
But korak did not vince even after they
had fetched a brand and the flames had
shot up among the dry tinder.
Once then. he raised his voice In the
low call that he had given In the shek's
tent. and now, from beyond the palisade
came again the trumpetlng of an elephant
Old Tantor had been pushing at the pail
sade In vain. The sound of Korak's voice
calling him and the scent Of man, his
enemy. filled the great beast with rage and
resentment against the dumb barrier that
held him back
He wheeled and shutied back a dozen
PAGES. then turned He lifted his trunk
and gave voice TO n mighty roaring trum.
pet-call of anger lowered his head. and
charged like huge battering-ram of flesh
and bone and muscle right for the mighty
barrier
The palisade sagged and spllntered to the
Impact, and through the breach rushed the
infuriated bull. Korak heard the sounds
that the others heard and he interpreted
them as the others did not
The flames were creeping closer to him
when one OF the blacks, hearing noise
behind him, turned to see the enormous
bulk OF Tantor numbering toward them.
The man screamed and fed, and then the
bull elephant was among them tossing the
negroes and Arabs to right and left as he
tore through the flames he feared to the
side of the comrade he loved
The sheik. calling orders to his followers
ran to his tent to get his rife Tantor
wrapped his trunk about the body of Korak
and the stake to which II was bound, and
tore 1t from the ground. The flames were
soaring his sensitive hde-senstive for ali
its th!ckness-so that in his frenzy both
to rescue his friend and escape the hated
fire. he all but crushed the life from the
apeman.
Lifting his burden high above his head the
giant beast wheeled and raced for the
breach that he had just made in the
palisade. The sheik rifle in hand rushed
from his tent directly into the path of the
maddened brute.
He raised his weapon and fired once
the bullet missed its mark. and Tantor was
upon him, crushing him beneath those
gigantic feet as he raced over him. as YOU
or | might crush out the life of an ant that
CHANGED to be in our pathway.
And then, bearing his burden carefully
Tantor, the elephant entered the blackness
of the jungle.

For moment Meriem was silent, buried
In thought. Her first question seemed
Irrelevant.
How did you happen to he in this
vilage?" she asked.
He told her all that had transpired since
the black had told him of Hanson's
duplcty.

said, "and yet you have done all this to

clinic added to ST. Mary's Hospital. at
Frankford and Palmer streets, by whi 4,
prospective mothers will have an oppor-
tunity to have their children given expert
care.
The great demand on the clinic, although
OF ened only short time ago. has already
caused plans to be discussed for enlarg-
ing it's present capacity of four beds to
six The clinic is in charge of DR., Jackson
s Lawrence. who expects great results
with the enlargement of the facilities of
the clinic.
1.-THE clinic will undoubtedly prevent
many deaths" said Doctor Lawrence today
The chief aim of the clinic, according
to the physician who has achieved con-
siderable fame for his humanitarian work
among the working classes, is healthy
mothers and babies.
The clinic is only one of many that make
the hospital one of the foremost in the
city at least as such is II recognized by
medical experts throughout the city. The
immense drain on its resources through
the close attention given many patients
who are not able to pay has necessitated
