At the bungalow Bwana had met
the returning adventurers on the YER

quarters. Bwana had noticed that the
corral gate was open. and further In
vestigation revealed the fact that Ne
riem's pony was gone and also the one
most often used BY Baynes.
Explanations on the part Of the Eng
lishman met . rather chilly reception
from his host. Meriem was silent.
She saw that Bwana was angry with
her. 1t was the first time, and she was
heartbroken.

Hanson, to 1T his own ends. hit near

CHAPTER XII.
A Njoht Ride.

Meriem and Bwana were sitting on
the veranda. together the following
day when a horseman appeared in the
distance riding across the plain toward
the bungalow.
Bwana shaded his eyes with his hand
and gazed out toward the oncoming
rider. He was puzzled. Strangers
were few u central Africa. Even the
blacks for distance of many miles in
every direction were we'll known to
him. No white man came within q
hundred miles that word of his COM
ing did not reach Bwana long before
the stranger. His every move vas re-
ported to the big Bwana-just what
animals he killed and how many of
each species, how he killed them, too,
for Bwana would not permit the use
Of prussic acid or strychnine, and how
he treated his boys"
But here was evidently one who had
slipped into the country unheralded.
Bwana could not imagine who the ap-
preaching horseman might be.

Meriem laughed. The adventure ap-
pealed to her. "AIl right" she said.
Hanson swore beneath his breath.
The two led their horses from the gar
den to the gate and through 1t. There
they discovered Hanson's mount.

side. Baynes was pressing Meriem's
hand as he poured words Of love into
her ear, and Meriem was listening.

At Bwana's suggestion Meriem kept
in her room the following morning I'M
til after the Hon. Morrison Baynes had
departed. Hanson had come for him
early-in fact, he had remained all
night with the foreman. Jervis, that
he might get an early start.
The farewell exchanges between the
Hon. Morrison and his host were Of the
most formal type. and when at last
the guest rode away Bwana breathed
a sigh Of relief. 1t had been an un-
pleasant duty. and he was dad that

Terms

First-That each part of the final settle

justice of that particular case and upon
such adjustments as are most likely to bring
"A peace that will be permanent.

not to be bartered about from sovereignty

power; but that
Third-Eyery territorial settlement in
voved in this war must be made in the

Fourth-That all well-defined national
aspirations shall be accorded the utmost sat

ments of discord and antagonism that would
