EXPLAINING the Universe.

suppose that we have all had mo-
ments of sudden illumination when II
occurred to us that we had explained
the universe, and 1t was so easy for
us that we wondered why we had not
done It before, says S. NJ. Crothers in
the Atlantic. Some thought drifted
into our mind and filed us with vague
forebodlngs of omniscience. 1t was
not an ordinary thought that explained
only fragment of existence. 1t ex-
planned everything. 1t proved. one
thing and 1t proved the opposite just
ms well. 1t explained why things are
MS they are, and IL 1t sh0Ild turn out
that they are not that way at all, 1t
would prove that fact also. In the
light of our great thought chaos
seemed rational. Such thoughts usual

Could he STAY the creature Meriem
loved2 Sadly he shook his head. No,
he could not
Then came partial decision to fol-
low Meriem and speak with her. he
half started and then was ashamed.
He, the son of British peer, had thus
thrown away his life, had thus degrad-
ed himself to the level of a beast so
that he was ashamed to go to the wo-
man he loved and lay his love at her
feet. He was ashamed to go to the
little Arab maid who had been his jun
gle playmate For what had he to Of
fer her?
For years circumstances had pre-
vented return to his father and moth
err, and at last pride had stepped in
and expunged from his mind the last
vestige of any intention to return. In
n spirit of boyish adventure he had
cast his lot with the jungle ape. The
killing of the crook in the coast inn
had filled his childish mind with terror
of the law and driven him deeper into
the wilds. The rebuffs that he had met
with at the hands of men, both black
and white, had had their effect upon
his mind while 1t was yet in the forma-
tive state and easily Influenced.
Meriem was not for him-not for the
savage ape. No, SHE was not for him,
but he still was hers. If he could not
have her and happiness, lie would at
least do all that lay in his power to
assure happiness to her. He would fol-
low the young Englishman. In the first
place, he would know that he meant
Meriem no harm and after that, though
jealousy wrenched his heart, he would
watch over the man Meriem loved for
Meriem's sake.
And so 1t came that few minutes
after the Hon. Morrison Baynes entered
the camp to be greeted by Hanson,
Korak slipped noselessly into q near
by tree. There he lay until late after
noon, and still the young Englishinan
made no move to leave camp. Korak
wondered If Meriem were coming there.
A little later Hanson and one of his
black boys rode out of camp. Korak
merely noted the fact. He was not
particularly interested in the doings of
any other member of the company than
the young Englishman.

HISTORIC OLD SUN TAVERN
One Of Boston's Landmarks, Built In
1890, for Many Years Used as
Fish Market.

One Of the early taverns of Boston
was the Sun tavern which stood but
few feet from the waters edge and
was built about 1900. For some years
1t was kept by Huguenot from Ro-
chelle named Cogneau. He made 1t
one Of the most popular of taverns end
1t was particularly popular with the
young men of Boston and surrounding
country, partly for the reason that
mine host Cogneau had several very
attractive and lively daughters who
added great deal to the charms Of
the hostelry. Their father had the
privilege of seeing Two of them mar.
ried In the tavern, one Of them becom-
ing the wife of Col. William Palfrey,
the famous Revolutionary patriot. He
became the grandfather of the noted
writer, John G. Palfvey.
Another daughter ef this genial host
Of the Sun tavern married successful
printer named Fleet. During the siege
of Boston the British seized the house
and they changed its name to the
Kings Arms. But when the Red Goats
had been chased out of Boston the sign
of the Kings Arms quickly disap-
peared and the old sign of the Sun
Tavern took its place and the tavern
took on its olden time popularity. 1t
has for many years been used as a fish
market.

Law of the Family.

No man lives for himscR alone.
Whether we will or not, we are de-
pendent on the exeItlons of others and
others are affected by our good or
evil acts, says Paris T. Farwhll in the
CongregationalIst. We belong to a
family, a town, state, q nation, to the
great family of mankind. Absolute
liberty is not possible even for the
members Of family except as the lib
eriy 10 guided by good will. If In n
home each member considered himself
alone, disregardlng the wishes and
welfare of others, the result would be
destruction. That Is the best society

ed to the head and shoulders of her
mount, and Meriem rode into view.
Baynes spurred to meet her.
Korak looked searchingly down upon
her, mentally anathematizing 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 n final farewell.
"Tonight I" 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 leaf. lie
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
marked where she had disappeared.
1t was impossible! 1t could not be
true! And yet with his own eyes he
had seen his Meriem-older little

evident that he had not shaved for
several days. A blond stubble had
commenced to cover his neck and
cheeks and chin, and with It the as
surance that he was no stranger con-
tinued to grow upon the girl.
1t was not until the second day, how
ever, that Meriem rebelled. She drew
In her pony at last and voiced her
doubts. Hanson assured her that the
camp was but few miles farther on.
1t was midafternoon when they sud-
denly broke out of the jungle upon the
banks Of broad and placid river. Be-
yond, upon the opposite shore, Merlem

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
And that man sat below him now with
in easy reach.
Korak the Killer fondled his heavy
spear. He played with the grass rope
dangling from his gee string. He
stroked the hunting knife at his hip.
And the man beneath him called to his
drowsy guide, bent the rein to his
pony's neck and moved off toward the
north.
Still sat Korak the Killer alone
among the trees. Now his hands hung
idly at his sides. His weapons and
what he had intended were forgotten
for the moment. KOrak was thinking.
He had noted that subtle change In
Merlem. When last he had seen her
she had been his little, half-naked
Mangani-wild, savage and uncouth.
She had not seemed uncouth to him
then. But now, in the change that had
come over her, he knew that such she
had been, yet no more uncouth than
he, and he was still uncouth.
In her had taken place the change.
In her he had just seen n sweet and
lovely flower of refinement and civiliza-
ton, and he shuddered as he recalled
the fate that he himself had planned
for her-to be the mate of an ape man,
his mate, in the savage jungle.
His Merlem loved anotherl For q
long time he let that awful truth sink
deep, and from 1t he tried to reason
out his future plan of action. In his

CHAPTER XIV.
A Tryst by Proxy.

Hanson and his boy had ridden d.
rectly TO the clearing. 1t was already
dark when they arrived. Leaving the
boy there, Hanson rode to the edge of
the plain, leading the boys horse.
There he waited. 1t was nine o'clock
before he saw solitary figure gallop-
ing toward him from the direction of
the bungalow. A few moments later
Merlem drew in her mount beside him.
She was nervous and flushed.
When she recognized Hanson she
drew back, startled.
Mr.. Baynes' horse fell on him and
sprancd his ankle" Hanson fastened
to explain. "He couldn't very well
come, so he sent me to meet you and
bring you to camp"
The girl could not see In the dark
ness the gloating, triumphant express
sion on the speakers face.
I'VE had better hurry" continued
Hanson, "for we'll have to move along
pretty fast if we don't want to be
overtaken."
"ls he badly hurt?' asked Merlem.
'Only little spraln," replied Han
son. lie can ride all right, but we
both thought he'd better lie up tonight
and rest, for he'll have plenty hard
riding in the next few weeks"
Yes" agreed the girl.
Hanson swung his pony about, and
Meriem followed him. They rode north
along the edge Of the jungle for mile
and then turned straight into 1t toward
the west. Meriem, following, paid lit
tie attention to directions. She did not
know exactly where Hanson's camp
lay, and so she did not guess that he
was not leading her toward 1t.
All night they rode straight toward
the west. When morning came Han

But, though they Travelled part Of the
