barefoot straight back toward the
point she imagined Tantor would make
for, point where she knew the ele-
plants often gathered deep In the for

moved silently and swiftly. From her
mind she had expunged ali thoughts
other than that she must rench 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

prise him, and presently she did, break
ing into sight of them as the great
elephant shuffled ahead, balancing the
man and the heavy stake upon his
head, holding them there with his up
curled trunk.
"Korak |" cried Meriem from the
foliage above him.
Instantly the bull swung about, low
cred his burden to the ground and,
trumpeting savdgely, prepared to de-
fend his comrade. The ape man, rec
ognlzing the girls voice, felt sudden
lump in his throat.

The paintings of the oriental tim.
Der bamboo in northern Florida and
Louisiana have grown to height of
25 feet, and there is no longer any
question about their producing in this
country good canes comparable to
those which they produce In China and
Japan. A quick method of their prop
agation has been worked out so that II
will be now possible to supply large
enough quantities of the young plants
to set out many small areas through
out the South, from the CiTolinas to
California wherever there Is sufficient
moisture and the land Is not too high
priced to admit of their cultivation.

Cautiously they crept to the slit that
Korak's knife had made in the rear
wall. Merlem peered inside. The rear
apartment was empty. She crawled
through the aperture, Baynes at her
heels, and then silently crossed the
space to the rugs that partitioned the
tent into two rooms. Parting the
hangings, Meriem looked into the front
room. 1t, too, was deserted.
She crossed to the door of the tent
and looked out. Then she gave little
gasp of horror. Baynes at her shoulder
looked past her to the sight that had
startled her, and he, too, exclaimed,
but his was an oath of anger.
A hundred feet away they saw Ko-
rak bound to stake, the brush piled
about him already alight. The Eng
lishman pushed Meriem to one side
and started on run for the doomed
man. What he could do in the face of
scores of hostile blacks and Arabs he
did not stop to consider.
At the same instant Tantor broke
through the palisade and charged the
group. In the face of the maddened
beast the crowd turned and fled, carry
ing Baynes backward with them.
TantOr wrapped his trunk about the
body of Korak and the stake to which
it was bound and tore 1t from the
ground. Lifting his burden high above
his head, the giant beast wheeled and
raced for the breach he had just made
in the palisade. The shelk, rifle in
hand, rushed directly in the path Of
the maddened brute. He raised his
weapon and fired once. The bullet
missed its mark, and Tantor was upon
him, crushing him beneath his gigantic
feet as he raced over him. And then,
bearing his burden carefully, Tantor,
the elephant, entered the blackness of
the jungle.
In moment it was all over, and the
elephant had disappeared with his
prize, but pandemonium reigned

A dozen or more broke loose, and 1t
was the galloping of these past him

elbow.

she was gone.
Baynes quickly united two of the
frightened animals and led them to the
point designated by Meriem. Here he
waited impatiently for what seemed
an hour, but was in reality but a few
minutes. Then he saw the girl APP

Quickly they placed these upon the

two or three were already leading
their cnptiyes back to the end of the
village where Meriem and Baynes were
busy with the trnppings Of their
mounts.
Now the girl flung herself into the
saddle.

she saw Baynes swing his leg over
the back of his horse she shook the
reins free over her mounts neck. With
lunge the nervous beast leaped for
ward. The shortest path led straight
through the center of the village, and
this Mericm took. Baynes was close
behind her, their horses running at full
speed.
So sudden and impetuous was their
dash for liberty that it carried them
half way across the village before the
surprised inhabitants were aware. of
what was happening. Then an Arab
recognized them and, with cry of
alarm, raised his rifle and fired.

Nativity Of Peach Tree.

The peach tree is a native of Persia
and China. It was brought to Italy
by the Romans in the time of the
Emperor Claudius, was cultivated in
Europe as early as 1850 and brought
to America about 1880, Its name is
derived from Persico, its native coun-
try. The ancients regarded 1t with
dIstrust, as according to Pliny they
supposed the king Of Persia had sent 1t
into Egypt to poison the Inhabitants
with whom he was at war. The Chi
nese have traditions Of peach tree
