II was nine O'Clock before Baynes
drew rein in the clearing. Meriem had
not yet arrived. The black lay down
to rest. Baynes lOlled in his saddle.
Korak stretched himself comfortably
upon a lofty limb; where he could
watch those beneath him without being
seen.
An hour passed. Baynes gave evil

ready guessed that the young English.

mount, and Meriem rode into view.
Baynes spurred to meet her.
Korak looked searchingly down upon
her, mentally matchmaking the
broad-brimmed hat that hid her fea-
lures from his eyes. She was abreast
the Englishman now.
Korak saw the man take both her
hands and draw her close to his breast.
He saw the mans face concealed for
moment beneath the same broad brim
that hid the girls.
When he looked again they had
drawn apart and were conversing earn
estly. Korak could see the man urg-
ing something. 1t was equally evident
that the girl was holding back. There
were many Of her gestures, and the
way in which she tossed her head up
and to the right, Uplifting her chin,
that reminded Korak strongly of Me-
riem. And then the conversation was
over, and the man took the girl in his
arms again to kiss her goodby.
She turned and rode toward the
point from which she had come. The
man sat his horse watching her. At
the edge Of the jungle she turned to
wave him final farewell.
Tonight! she cried, throwing back
her head as she called the words to
him across the little distance which
separated them-throwing back her
head and revealing her face for the
first time to the eyes of the Killer in
the tree above.
Korak started as though pierced
through the heart with an arrow. He
trembled and shook like a leaf. He
closed his eyes, pressing his palms
across them, and then he opened them
again and looked.
But the girl was gone. Only the
waving foliage of the jungle's rim
Eerked where she had disappeared.
II was impossible! 1t could not be
true! And yet with his own eyes he
had seen his Meriem-Older a little,
with figure more rounded by nearer
maturity, and subtly changed in other
ways; more beautiful than ever, vet
still his little Meriem. Yes, he had
seen the dead alive again he had seen
his Meriem in the flesh. She lived
She had not died!
He had seen her-he had seen his
Meriem-in the arms Of another man
