made all escape impossible. Then.
right out from all the others and close
to the edge Of the clin. were two fig-
ures. 30 strange. ard under other cir
cumstances SO ludicrOus, that they
absorbed my attention. The one was
our c0mrade. Professor Challenger.
The remains Of his coat still hung IN
strips from his shoulders. but his
shirt had been all torn out. and his
great beard merged itself in the black
tangle which covered his mighty chest.
He had lost his hat. and his hair.
which had grown long In our wander.
Ings. was flying in Wild disorder. A sin
gle day seemed to have changed him
from the highest product OF modern
civilization to the most desperate saw
age In South America. Beside him
stood his master. the king of the ape
csen. In all thinEss he was. as lord
John had aid. the very image Of our
professor. save that bis coloring was
red instead Of black. The same short
broad figure. the same heavy shout
ders, the same forward hang Of the
arms. the same bristling beard merg-
ing itself In the hairy chest. Only
above the eyebrows, where the sloping
forehead aud low. curved skull Of the
ape man were In sharp contrast to the
broad brow and magnificent Uranium
Of the European, could one see any
marked difference. At every other
point the king vas an absurd parody
Of the professor.
Ali this. which takes me 30 long to
describe. impressed itself upon. me In
a few seconds. Then we had very diff
ferent things to think Of. for an active
drama was in progress. Two Of the
spe men had seized one OF the Indians
out Of the group and dragged him for
ward to the edge OF the cliff. The king
raised his hand as q signal. They
caught the man by his leg and arm and
swung him three times backward and
forward with tremendous violence
Then with q fffghtful heave they shot
the poor wretch over the precipice.
With such force did they throw him
that he curved high In the air before
beginning to drop. As be vanished
from sight the whole assembly. except
the guards. rushed forward to the edge
Of the precipice. and there was a long
pause Of absolute silence. broken by q
mad yell Of delight They sprang
about, tossing their long. hairy arms In
the air and bowling with exultation.
Then they fell back from. the edge,
formed themselves again into line anil
waited for the next victim.
This time II was snmmerIee. Two Of
his guards caught him BY the wrists
and pulled him bruta:ly to the front

have thought that might live to be
war correspondent. In what widest
one could have conceived the nature
Of the campaign which It should be
my lot to report! Here. then. IL my
first dispatch from field OF battle:
Our numbers had been REINFORCED
during the night by . fresh batch Of
natives from the caves. and we may
have been 400 or 600 strong when we
made our advance. A fringe Of scouts
was thrown out in front. and behind
them the whole force ina solid column
made their way up the long slope Of
the bush country until We were near
the edge of the forest Here they
spread out into long Smuggling line
Of spearmen and bowmen. Roxton and
Summerlee took their position upon the
right 6ank. while Challenger and !
were ON the left. 1t was . host Of the
stope age that we were accompanying
to battle-we with the last word Of the
gunsmith's art from st. James street
and the Strand.
We had not long to wait for our
enemy, A wild. shrill clamor rose
from the edge Of the wood pnd sud
denly body Of ape men flushed out
with clubs and stones and made for
the center Of the Indian line. 1t was y
valiant move. but foolish one. for the
great handy legged creatures were
slow of foot. while their opponents
were as active as cats. 1t was hOrri-
BILE to see the fierce brutes, with foam
ing mouths and glaring eyes. rushing
and grasping but forever missing
their elusive enemies, while arrow aft-
er arrow buried itself In their hides.
One great fellow ran past me roaring
with pain. with dozen darts sticking
from his chest and ribs. In mercy !
put bullet through his skull. and he
fell sprawling among the aloes. But
this was the only shot fred. for the
attack had been ON the center Of the
line, and the Indians there had needed
no help Of ours in repulsIng 1t. OF all
the ape men who had rushed out into
the open l do not think that one got
! back to cover.
But the matter was more deadly
when we came among the trees. For
an hour or more after we entered the
wood there was a desperate struggle. In
which for time we hardly held our
own. Springing out from among the
scrub. the ape men with huge clubs
broke In upon the Indians and often
felled three or four OF them before
they could be speared. Their frightful
blows shattered everything upon which
they fell. One Of them knocked Sum
merlee's rife to matehwood. and the
next would have crushed his skull had
an Indian not stabbed the beast to the
heart. Other ape men In the trees
above us hurried down stones and logs
Of wood. occasionally dropping bodily
on to our ranks and fighting furiously
until they were fclled Once our al
lies broke under the pressure. and had
II not been for the execution done by
our rifles they would certainly have

WHY NOT TWO CROPS A YEAR?

The inhabitants of the Balkan
states, located in the valley of the
Danube, live on roots grown out of
the ground, and large families live on
the product of ten acres. The farm
ers are not content with one crop. So
soon as one crop is harvested, some
thing else is planted. They seem to
grow rutabagas, turnips. beets, par
ships, and other root crops continu-
ously until the ground freezes up
The climate of the Balkan peninsula
is not different from the climate of
Iowa.
The editor of The Capitol is not a
food expert nor farm expert, but If
one class of food is grown to take
the place of another class Of. food
there must he saving in the latter
class If a large percentage Of our
people increase their consumption Of
vegetables, which they might do to
their own advantage, the result would
be that wheat and corn might be
shipped to our allies abroad. If these
root profits should be fed to stock
in Iowa grain might thus be saved.
Making the soil produce two
crops year is something new in
Iowa; at any rate it has not been us
ual. But it would be worth while to
make the effort.
The Capital is not undertaking to
make food cheaper by reducing the
income Of the farmer; The Capital is
only making an effort to obtain a
surplus for Shipment abroad. - Des
