the plying light that entered his eyes.
He approached the girl and started to
lay his hand upon her forehead. She

A smile touched his lips.

again, but another hand had beer
quicker than his, and he saw thj
weapon tossed TO the ground at til.
side of the tent-out of reach.
'What is the meaning of this?" The
stranger addressed his question tt
Meriem in a tongue she did not under
stand. She shook her head and spoke
in Arabic. Instantly the man changed
his question to that language.
"These men are taking me away
from KOrak," painted the girl. 'This
one would have harmed me. The 9TH
er, who he has just killed, tried to stop
him. They were both very bad men,
but this one is the worse. If my KOrak
were here he would kill him. sup
pose you are like them, so you will not
kill him"
The stranger smiled. "He deserves
killing" he said. "There is no doubt
Of that. Once should have killed him,
but now not. will see, though. that
he does not bother you any more"
He was holding Malbihn in grasp
the giant Swede could not break.
though he struggled to do SO, and he
was holding him as easily as Malbihn
might have held little child, yet NAL
bihn was huge man, nightly thewed.
The Swede began to rage and curse.
He struck at his captor. only to be
twisted about and held ut arms length.
Then he shouted to his boys to come
and kill the stranger.
In response 4 dozen strange blacks
entered the tent. They, too, were pow
erful, clean limbed men, not at all
like the NANCY crew that followed the
Swedes.
eve have had enough foolishness,"
said the stranger to Malbihn. you
deserve death, but I am not the law.
l know now who you are. l have
heard Of you before. You and your
friend bear a most unsavOry reputa
ton. We do not want you in our coun-
try. shall let you go this time. but
should you ever return shall take the
law into my own hands. Now, get out.
and next time you see me remember
who l am" and he spoke name in
the Swede's cara name that more
efectually subdued the scoundrel than
many beatings. Then he gave him a
push that carried him bodily through
the tent doorway, to sprawl upon the
turf beyond.
"Now," he said, turning toward Mer
lem, "who has the key to this thing
about your necky'
The girl pointed to Jenssen's body.
HE carried it always" she said.
The stranger searched the clothing
on the corpse until he came upon the
key. A moment more Meriem was
free.
"Will you let me 60 back to my Ko-
rak ?" she asked.
Il will see that you are returned to
your people," the stranger replied.

For ..ioment he staggered drunkenly.
Deliberately MalbihA put two more
bullets into his friends body at close
range.
Even in the midst Of the excitement
and her terror Merdem found herself
wondering at the tenacity of life
which the hit man displayed. His
eyes were closed, his head dropped
forward upon his breast, his hands
hung Imply before him. Yet still he
stood there upon his feet, though he
reeled horribly.
It was not until the third bullet had
found its mark within his body that
he lunged forward upon his face. Their
Malbihn approached him and, with an
oath, kicked him viriOusly. Then he
turned once more to Meriem.
At the same instant the flaps of the
tent opened silently and a tall white
man stood in the aperture. Neither
Meriem or Malbihn saw the newcOm

while his body hid the stranger from
