the jungle, nor paused until no
sound from the distant village reached
his keen ears. Then he laid his bur-
den gently down. KoralS struggled to
free himself from his bonds, but even
his grent strength was unable to cope
with tho many strands of hard knotted
cord that bound him.
And while he struggled through tho
night with his bonds Baynes and Me-
/ riem were riding rapidly SOrthward
along the river. Tho girl had assured
Baynes that Kornk was safe In the
jungle with Tantor. 1t had not occur
red to her that the ape man might not
DO able to burst his bonds. Baynes
had been wounded by n shot from tho
rifle OF one OF the Arabs. and the girl
wanted to get him back to Bwana's

All night they rode, and the day was
still young when they came suddenly
upon party hurrying southwark. It
was Bwana himself and his sleek,
black warriors.
At sight Of Bayncs the big English
mans brows contracted in scowl,
but he waited to hear Meriem's story
before giving vent to the long pent an

Baynes. His thoughts were occupied
with another subject
"You say that you found Korak?" no
asked. "You really saw him?"
YES replied Mericm; "as plainly as

"What sort of appearing man is he?"

though he might be older He is re-

Ills eyes and hair, did you notice
them?" Bwana spoke rapidly, almost
excitedly. 1t was Mcriem who an

"Korak's hair is black, and his eyes
are gray" she said.
Bwana turned to his head man.
"Take Miss Mcriem and Mr.. Baynes

jungle"
Let me go with you, BwanaW cried
Meriem. "You are going to search

Bwana turned sadly but firmly upor

"Your place." he said, "is beside tho

Then he motioned to his head man
to take his horse ana commence the
return journey to the farm. NIeriem
slowly mounted the tired Arab that
had brought her from the village of

were catlike and agile. High into tho

come to decision. She called the
head man to her side.
II am going back with Bwana." she
announced.
The black shook his head. Nor he
announced. "Bwana says | take you
home. So take you home"
Presently her horse passed beneath
low hanging branch. and the black
head man found himself gazing Mt the
girls empty saddle. He ran forward
to the tree into which she had disap-
peared. He could see nothing Of her.
He called, but there was no response
unless ID might have been low, taunt-
Ing laugh far to the right. He sent his
men into the jungle to search for her,
but they came back empty handed,
After awhile he resumed his march
toward the farm. for Baynes by this
time was delirious with fcver.
Meriem. shedding the awkward Arab
robe they had given her in the sheilx's
douar, raced in riding breaches and
barefoot straight back toward tho
point she imagined Tantor would make
for. n point where she knew the ele-
plants often gathered deep in the for
est due east of the shcili's village. Sho
moved silently and swiftly. From her
mind she had cXpungcd all thoughts
other than that she must reach Korak
and bring him back with her.
Now there came to her sensitive nos
trils the scent of Tantor. and she knew
that she was on the right trail and
close to him she sought. She did not
call out. because she wished to surprise
him. and presently she did. breaking
into sight OF them as the great elephant
Shunled ahead, balancing the man md
the heavy stake upon his head, holding
them there with his upcurlcd trunk.
"korak" cried Mcriem from the foli-
nge above him.
instantly the bull swung about low
cred his burden to the ground and,
trumpcting savagcly. prepared to de-
fend his comradc. The ape man, rec
ognizing the girls voice, felt sudden
lump in his throat.
"Mcricm!" he called back to her.
Happily the girl clamhcred to the
ground and ran forward to release
kornk, but Tantor lowered his head
"minously and trumpetcd wcrning.
"Go back! Go backw cried Kornk.
He will kill you'll!

hand, and then lie broke forth, below

huge protector In an effort to hnlt him.
but all to no avail Mericm raced to-.

speed that lay In her swift little feet,

THE TOWN OF DON'T.YoU-WoRRY

There's a town called Don't-You- Worry
On the banks of River Smile,
Where the Cheer-up and Be-Happy
Blossoms sweetly all the while.
Where the Never-Grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of I.Will,
You will find this lovely city
At the foot Of NoFret Hill,
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the Very-Seldom.Fr .Frown.
Rustic benches, quite enticing,
You'll find scattered here and there |;
And to each vine is clinging
Called the Frequent-Earnest Prayer,
Everybody there is happy,
And is singing all the while,
In the town of Don't-You-Worr
On the banks Of River Smile.

The with pep with ginger with hustle njects the

business men know this, and hunt for just such towns.
If we would grow town we must show that we WANT

So when show to industry that WANT it; when we

PUBLICITY.

NO good cause ever suffered from
publicity and no bad cause but in
stinctiyely avoids it," This truthful
statement is from the able pen OF Or,
Charles Elliot of Harvard University.
We claim that the position taken by
DR.. Elliot is most unanswerable and
praiseworthy. And it is a position
that will more and more enlist the at
tention of the reading, thinking pub
lie until an attitude will be obtained
that viii prove conducive to the social
and moral health OF the masses. But
such an end desirable as it is. cannot
be obtained without persistent, self
sacrificing effort. And there must be
the consistency Of antipathy to Sc
crecy and a stern, relentless warfare
waged for publicity. Mere sentiment
alism and theorizing will avail moth
ing. Such a course has been followed
too long already. The good of any in
stitution must be maintained and pub
lished as freely as possible but the
bad should be acknowledged and ex-
plunged as quickly as possible. 1t is
encouraging to note how that many
reformers and especially those promi-
nent in our schools both large and
small are contributing valuable ser
vice to the cause of publicity, 1t may
be that in the fields of politics and
commerce its progress will be slow
but who can satisfactorily dispute the
fact that even there will be the effect

A HINT TO MINISTERS.

A clergyman in a neighbOring town
had been much annoyed by the way
members of the congregation had Of
looking around to take stock Of late
cOmers After enduring it for some
time he said on entering the reading
desk one Sunday: Brethren, regret
to see that your attention Is called
away from your religious duties by
your natural desire to see who comes
in behind you. l propose henceforth
to save you the trouble by naming
each person who may enter, and hope
that the services will then be allowed
to proceed without interruption" He
then began Dearly beloved" but
paused half way to interlopate, "Mr
Stubbins with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. Stubbins looked rather surprised,
but the minister with perfect gravity,
resumed his exhortation. Presently he
again paused: "Mr. Curtis and William
Diggle." The abashed congregation
kept their eyes studiously bent on
their books. The service continued in
the most orderly manner, the parson
interrupting himself every now and
then to name some newcomer. At last
he said still with the most perfect
gravity: Mrs. Symons in a new bon
net" In a moment he felt his mis-
take, but it was too late. Every femi-
nine head in the congregation had
turned around.
