Now the canoe was within easy

bihn, raising his weapon threateningly.
"You. hang you!" shouted Baynes,
whipping out his revolver and firing al
most simultaneously with the Swede.
As the two reports rang out Malbihn
dropped his rifle, clutched frantically
at his breast, staggered fell, first to
his knees and then lunged upon his
face. Baynes stiffened. His head flew
back spasmodically. For an instant
he stood thus and thea crumpled very
gently into the bottom of the boat.
Baynes turned weakly in the direc-
ton of the shore, to see Malbihn drawn
up upon his elbows. leveling his rife
at him. The Erglishman slid to the
bottom of the canoe as a bullet whiz-
zed above him. Malbihn, sore hit, took
longer in aiming. nor was his aim as
sure as formerly.
With difficulty Baynes turned him
self over on his stomach and. grasplng
his revolver in his right, hand, drew
himself up until he could look over
the edge of the canoe.
Malbihn saw him instantly and fired,
but Baynes did not finch or duck.

target upon the shore, away from

CHAPTER XIV.
Morrison Squares Accounts.

A mile away toward the east, fight
ing his way through the jungle along
tbs trail taken by Malbihn when he
had brought Meriem to his camp, a
man in torn khaki, filthy, haggard, I'M
kempt, came to sudden stop as the
report of a rife resounded family
through the tangled forest. The black
man just ahead of him stopped too.
"We are almost there, Bwana." he
said. There was awe and respect in
his tone and manner.
The white man nodded and motioned
his ebon guide forward once more. 1t
was the Hon. Morrison Baynes, the fas-
tidious, the exquisite. His face and
hands were scratched and smeared
with dried blood from the wounds he
had come by in thorn and thicket. His
clothes were tatters. But through the
blood and the dirt and the rags a new
Baynes shone forth-a handsomer
Baynes than the dandy and fop Of
yOre.
As the two forged ahead toward their
goal they were startled by a vOlley Of

Jungle seemed a thousandfold more
tangled than before. A dozen times
he tripped and fell. Twice the black
followed a blind trail, and they were
forced 20 retrace their steps. but at last
they came out into a little clearing
near the big af, a clearing that 9nce
had held thriving village. but now

companion looked about in all diree-
tons. but no sign of a living being
could they discover. They stood In ST.
lehce. listening intently.
What was that? Voices and the dip
of paddles out apon the river?
Baynes ran across the dead village
toward the fringe of jungle upon the.
rivers brim. The black was at his
side. Together they forced their way
through the screening foliage until they
could obtain a view of the river. and
there, almost to the other shore, they
saw Malbihn's canoes making rapidly
for camp.
The black recognized his companions
Immediately.
How can we CROSSE" asked Baynes.
The black shook his head. There
was no canoe. and the crocodiles made
1t equivalent TO suicide TO enter the
water in an attempt TO swim across.
Just then the fellow CHANGED to

The negro grasped Baynes' arm and
pointed toward his find. The Hon.
Morrison could scarce repress a shout
of exultation. Quickly the two slid
down the dropping branches into the
boat. The black seized the paddle. and
Baynes showed them cut from beneath
the tree. A second later the canoe shot
out upon the bosom of the river and
headed toward the opposite shore and
the camp of the Swede.
Baynes squatted in the bow, strain
ing his eyes after the men pulling the
other canoes upon the bank across
from him. He saw Malbihn step from
the bow of the foremost of the little
craft. He saw him turn and glance
