CHAPTER XIV.
Morrison Squares Accounts.

A Eiie away tDaurd the east. :gh,
ing his way THROUGH the jungle aiou
the trail taken by Malbihn when b
had brought ,ieriem to his camp,
man In torn khaki. filthy, hazgard. IN
kenpt. came to Il sudden stop as the
report of rife resounded family
through the tangled forest. The black
man just ahead Of him stopped too.
I'VE are almost there. Bwana." he
said. There WAS awe and respect in
his tone and manner
The white man nodded and motiOned
his ebon guide forward once more. 1t
vas the Hon. Morrison Baynes, the fas-
tidious. the exquisite. His face and
with dried blood from the wounds he
had come by in thorn and thicket. His
clothes were tatterS. But through the
blood and the dirt and the rags new
Baynes shone forth-a handsomer
Baynes than the dandy aud fOp Of
yore.
As the two forged ahead toward their
goal they were startled by vOlley Of
shots ahead of them. Then came u
few scattering reports some savage
yells and silence.
Baynes was frantic in his endeavors
to advance more rapidly, but here the
jungle seemed a thuusandfold more
tangled than before. A dozen times
he tripped and fell. Twice the black
followed blind trail and they were
forced to retrace their steps. but at last
they came out into little clearing
near the big afi clearing that once
had held thriving village. but now
lay deso!ate In decay and ruin.
In the jungle vegetation that over.
grew what had once been the main
village street lay the body OF black
man, pierced through the heart with q
bullet and still warm. Baynes and his
companion looked about In all direc
lions. but no sign of a living being
could they discover. They stood in ST.
lence, listening intently.
What was that? Voices and the DIP
of paddles out upon the river?
BayneS ran across the dead village
toward the fringe of jungle upon the
rivers brim. The black was ut his
side. Together they forced their way
the screening foliage until they
could obtain I; view of the river, and
there. almost to tl.e other shore. they
saw Malbihn's canoes making rapidly
for camp.
The black recognized his companions
''How can we cross:' asked Baynes. /
The black shook his head. There
was no canoe, and the crocodiIes made
1t equivalent TO suicide to enter the
water in an attempt to swim across.
Just then the fellow CHANGED to
glance downward. Beneath him. |
wedged among the branches of tree, /
lay Il canoe.
pointed toward his find. The Hon. /
Morrison could scarce repress a shout !
Of exultatiOn. Quickly the two slid !
down the dropping branches into the +
boat. The black seized the paddle, and
Baynes showed them out from beneath |
the tree. A second later the canoe shot |
out upon the bosom Of the river and !
headed toward the opposite shore and
the camp of the Swede. .
Baynes sQuatted In the bow, strain
Ing his eyes after the men pulling the
other canoes upon the bank across
from him. He saw Malbihn step from
craft. He saw him turn and glance
