He stepped from his tent and almost

direction of the gates. They demurred,
and then the sheik threatened. 1t
would have been suicide to have dis
obeyed, so the two men turned and
left the village, making their way lm-
mediately to their own camp.
The sheik returned to his tent, but
he did not enter it. Instead he walked
to the side where little Meriem lay
close to the goatskin wall, very fright
ened. The sheik stopped and clutched
her by the arm. Viciously he jerked
her to her feet, dragged her to the en-
trance of the tent and showed her with
in. Following her, he seized her again,
beating her ruthlessly.

this score was due mainly to the effect
which the death al Conlon hndFhad
upon his own p&ns.
Now he could not return directly 10
his parents, as. he had planned. Fear
of the primitive borderland law, OF
which he had read highly colored, I'M
aginary tales, had thrust him into the
jungle-a fugitive. He dared not re-
turn to the coast at this point, not
that he was so greatly influenced
through personal fear as from desire
to shield his father and mother from
further sorrow and from the shame OF
having their honored name dragged
through the sordid degradation OF a
murder trial. s
With returning day the boys Spirits
rose. With the rising sun came ne"
hope within his breast. He would re-
turn to civilization by another way.
None would guess that he had been
connected with the killing of the stran-
ger in the little out of the way trauihs

lection of gentle motht But Me-
riem was not sure but that even this
was n dream picture induced by her
own desire for the caresses she never
received.
Suddenly there arose sounds of al
tercation beyond the village gates.
Meriem listened. With the curiosity Of
childhood she would have liked to run
down there and learn what 1t was that
caused the men to talk so loudly. 9th
ers of the villagers were already troop
ing in the direction of the noise.
But Meriem did not dare. The Sheik
would be there, doubtless, and If he
saw her it would be but another OPP
portunity to abuse her, so Meriem lay
still and listened.
Presently she heard the crowd NOV
ing up the street toward the sheik's
tent. Cautiously she stuck her head
around the edge of the tent. She could
not resist the temptation, for the same
ness of the village life was monotonous
and she craved diversion.
What she saw was two strangers
white men. They were alone, but as
they approached she learned from the
talk. of the natives that surrounded
them that they possessed consider
able following that was camped out
side the village.
They were coming to palaver with
the sheik.
The old Arab met them at the en-
trance to his tent. His eyes narrowed
wickedly when they had appraised the
newcomers. They stopped before him,
exchanging greetings. They had come
to trade for ivory, they said.
The sheik grunted. He had no ivory.
Meriem gasped. She knew that In
nearby hut the great tusks were piled
almost to the roof. She poked her head
farther forward to get better view of
the strangers. How white their skins
How yellow their great boards!
Suddenly one OF them turned mis-
eyes in her direction. She tried to
dodge back out of sight, for she feared

plored tributary of large river that
elnpties into the Atlantic not so far
from the equator, lay small heavily
palisaded village. Twenty palm
matched, beehive huts sheltered it's
black population while half a dozen
| gOatskln tents In the center of the
clearing housed the score of Arabs
who found shelter here, while by trad
ing and raiding they collected the car
goes which their ships of the desert
bore northward twice each year to the
market at Timbuktu.
Playing before one of the Arab tents
was little girl Of ten, black haired,
black eyed little girl, who with her
nut brown skin and graceful carriage
looked every inch a daughter Of the
desert. Her little fingers were busily
engaged in fashioning a skirt of grass
es for much disheveled doll which a
kindly disposed slave had made for
her a year or two before.
The head Of the doll was rudely
Clipped from ivory, while the body
was rat skin stuffed with grass. The
arms and legs were bits of wood, per-
forated at one end and sewn to the
rat skin torso.
The doll was quite hideous and alto
gether disreputable and soiled, but
Meriem thought it the most beautiful
and adorable thing in the whole world,
which is not SO strange in view of the
fact that it was the only object within
that world upon which she could be-
stow her condolences and her love.
Every one else with whom Meriem
came in contact was, almost without
| exception, either Indifferent to her or
cruel. There was the old black bag
who looked after her, for example,
Nahum, toothless, filthy and i'll tenn

She lost no opportunity to cuff the
little girl or even infiict minor tortures
upon her.. And there was the sheik,

CHAPTER v.
The Sheik's Daughter.

Two Swedes, Carl Jensen and Sven
Malbihn. after conducting several mys-
terious expeditions far to the south of
the Sahara, turned their attention to
the more profitable business of ivory
poaching. -
In a great district they were already
known for their relentless cruelty and
their greed for ivory. The natives
feared and hated them. The European
governments In whose possessions they
worked had long sought them; but,
working their way slowly out Of the
north. they had learned many things
in the no mans land south of the Sa-
hara. which gave them immunity from
capture through easy avenues of es-
cane that were unknown to those who
pursued them.
Their raids were sudden and swift.
They seized ivory and retreated into
the trackIess wastes of the north be-
fore the guardians Of the territory
thev raped could be made aware Of
their presence. Relentlessly they
slaughtered elephants themselves as
well as stealing ivory from the ma
tiyes. Their following consisted of
hundred renegade Arabs and negro
slaves. a fierce band of cutthrOats.

Leapiny to his feet, he hurried MS

was heavy man. The frail door col
lapsed beneath his weight, and herr
Skopf stumbled precipitately into the
room.
Before him lay the greatest mystery
of his life. Upon the floor at his teet
was the dead body of strange man.
The neck was broken and the 1ugular
severed as by the fangs OF wllu
beast. The old lady and her grand
son were gone. The window was open

locked from the inside.
But how could the boy have carried

! was preposterous. Again Herr SkopI
searched the small room. He nolced
that the bed was pulled well away
from the wall. Why? He looked De-
meath 1t again for the third or fourth
time. The two were gone, and yet MS
Judgment told him that the old lazy
could not have gone without porters
to carry her down as they had carried
her up the previous day.
Further search but deepened the
mystery. All the clothing of the two
was still in the room. If they had gone
they they must have gone naked or IN
their night clothes.
No boat had left the harbor IN the
meantime. There was not railroad
within hundreds of miles. There was
no other white settlement that the two
could reach under several days OF ar
duous marching, accompanied by a
we'll equipped safari. They had SIM
DIV vanished into thin air, for the ma
tive he had sent to inspect the ground
beneath the open window had just re-
turned to report that there was no
sign of footstep there, and what sort
of creatures were they who could have
dropped that distance to the soft turf
without leaving spoor?
Herr Skopf shuddered. Yes, it was
a great mystery. There was some
thing uncanny about the whole thing.
He hated to think about it, and he
dreaded the coming of night.
1t was a great mystery to Herr
Skopf and doubtless still is.
