OPTIMISM.


(By Ella Wheeler WiIcox)
Talk happiness. The world is sad
enough
Without your woes. No path is who'll
ly rough;
Look for the places that are smooth
and cleaY,
And speak of those, to rest the weary
:. ear
OF earth, so hurt by one continuous
strain
OF human discomfort, and grief, and
pain.
Talk faith. The world is better of
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
doubt.
IF you have faith in God, or man, OF
self,
Say so; If not, push back upon the
shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith
shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, never
changing tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and stale
You cannot charm, or interest, OF
please
BY harping on that minor chord, dis.
ease.
Say you are wei, or all is well with
you,
And God shall hear your words anC
make them true.

plenty. A sample menu, inclosed In

strength and endurance of strong men
at the beginning of new day.
Every now and then the rear guard
and the white men cast apprehensive
glances rearward, as though momen-
tarlly expecting the naturalization Of
some long expected danger from that
quarter. The boy had paused after
his first sight of the caravan and now
was following slowly In the wake Of
the sordld, brutal spectacle.

toward the coast.
All the while Jacks training went
on under the guidance of Akut. Yet,
though the boy loved the jungle, he
had not let his selfish desires out
weigh the sense Of duty that had
brought him to n realization of the
moral wrong which lay beneath the
adventurous escapade that had brought
him to Africa. His love of father and
mother was strong within him, too
strong to permit unalloyed happiness
which was undoubtedly causing them
days of sorrow.
And SO he held tight to his deter
minatlon to find port upon the coast
where he might communicate with
them and receive funds for his return
to London. There he felt sure that he
could now persuade his parents to let
him spend at least portion of his
time upon those African estates which
from little careless remarks dropped
at home he knew his father possessed.
That would be something-better at
least than lifetime Of the cramped
and cloying restrictions OF civilization.
And SO he was rather contented
than otherwise as he made his way in
the direction OF the coast, for, while
he enjoyed the liberty and the savage
pleasures of the wild, his conscience
was ut the same time clear, for he
knew that he was doing all that lay in
his power to return to his parents. He
looked forward, too, to meeting white
men again.-creatures of his own kind,
for there had been many occasions
upon which he had longed for other
companionship than that Of the old
ape.

CHAPTER VII.

A year had passed since the two
Swedes had been driven In terror from
the savage country where the sheik
held sway. Little MerIem still played
with her doll Geeka, lavlshing all her
childish love upon the now almost
hopeless ruin Of what had never, even
In Its palmiest days, possessed even a
slight degree Of loneliness.
The sheik had been away for long
time, conducting caravan of ivory,
skins and rubber far into the north
The interim had been one of great
peace for Meriem. 1t Is true that Ma
bunu had still been with her, to pinch
or beat her as the mood seized the vii
famous old nag, but Nahum was only
one. When the sheik was there also
there were two of them, and the sheik
was stronger and more brutal even
than Nahum.
Little Meriem often wondered why
the grim old man hated her so. 1t is
true that he was cruel and unjust to
all with whom he came In contact, but
to Meriem he reserved his greatest

Jack was disheartened and sud. He
had not entirely recovered from the
depressing effect Of the unfrlendly re-
eeption he had received at the hands
of the blacks, and now he had found
an even more hostile one accorded
him by men Of his own color.
"The lesser beasts flee from me In
terror" he murmured half to himself |;
the greater beasts are ready to tear
me to pieces at sight. Black men would
kill me with their spears or arrows.
And now white men, my own kind,
have fired upon and driven me away.
Are all the creatures of the world
my enemies2 Has the son of Tarzan
no friend other than Akut?"
The old ape drew closer to the boy.
There are the great apes" he said.
"They only will be the friends of
Akuts friend. Only the great apes
will welcome the son of Tarzan. You
have seen that men want nothing of
you. Let us go now and continue our
search for the great apes-our people"
