turning toward Meriem, introduced
them, speaking in the Arab tongue the
girl understood.
This is Meriem, my DEAR" he said
and told the story of the jungle waif
so far as he knew it.
Meriem saw that the woman was
beautiful. She saw that sweetness and
goodness were stamped indelibly upon
her cOuntenance. She no longer feared
her, and when her brief story had been
narrated and the woman came and put
her arms about her and kissed her and
called her poor little darling" some
thing snapped in Meriem's heart.
She buried her face on the bosom Of
this new friend, in whose voice was
the mother tone that Meriem had not
heard for so many years that she had
forgotten its very existence. She buried
her face on the kindly bosom and wept
~ she had not wept before in all her
ne-tears Of relief and Joy that she
could not fathom.
And so came Meriem, the savage lit
tie Mangani, out Of her beloved jungle
into the midst Of home of culture
and refinement. Already "Bwana" and
my DEAR" as she first heard them
called and continued to call them, were
as father and mother to her.
Once her savage fears were allayed
she went to the opposite extreme Of
trustfulness and love. Now she was
willing to wait here until they found
korak or KOrak found her. She did
not give up that thought. Korak, her
Korak, was always first.

And out in the jungle, far away,
korak, covered with wounds, stiff
with clothed blood, burning with
rage and sorrow, as soon as sufi-

upon the trail Of the great balloons.
He did not find them where he had
last seen them nor in any Of their
usual haunts, but he sought them along
the well-marked spoor they had left
behind them, and at last he overlook
them.
He persuaded them to aid him in
rescuing Meriem and attacking the vii
lage Of Kovudoo. calling to mind how
he had saved their king. And so they

So when they took up their march
it was in the direction of the south

BY degrees he turned the direction
OF their way more and more eastward,
and greatly was he pleased 70 note
that the girl failed to discover that
any change was being made.
Little by little she became more

intuition to guide her belief that this
big Tarmangani meant her no harm,

him with her Korak and to be very

CHAPTER X.
Korak's Venoeance.

Meriem looked straight into the kee1
gray eyes. - She must have found there
an unQuestiOnable assurance Of the
hOnorableness Of their owner, for she
permitted him 10 lay his palm upon
her forehead and feel her pulse. Ap
parently she had no fever.
"How long have you been an ape? ~
asked the man.

many years ago, and Korak came and
took me from my father, who was
beating me. Since then I have lived

asked the stranger.
Meriem pointed with a sweep of her
hand that took in, generously, half the
continent of Africa.
'Could you find your way back to
him?'
Il do not know" she replied, "but
he will find his way to me-"
'Then l have plan," said the stran-
ger. Il live but a few marches from
here. l shall take you home, where
my wife will look after you and care
for you until we can find Korak or
KOrak finds us. If he could find you
here, he can find you at my village.
Is it not so?"
Meriem thought that it was 50, but
she did not like the idea of not start
ing Immediately back to meet Korak.
On the other hand, the man had no
intention of permitting this poor, in
sane child to wander further amid the
dangers of the jungle. Whence she
had come or what she had undergone
he could not guess, but that her Korak
