own, and so it was that the moment
Tantor had landed him safely upon
the same side of the river as lay the
village of the sheik the ape man de-
serted his bulky comrade and took to
the trees in a rapid race toward the
south and the spot where the Swede
had told him Meriem might be.
1t was dark when he came to the
palisade, strengthened considerably
since the day that he had rescued
Meriem from her pitiful life within its
cruel confines. No longer did the giant
tree spread it's branches above the
wooden rampant, but ordinary man
made defenses were scarce considered
obstacles by Korak.
Loosening the rope at his waist, he
tossed the moose over one OF the sharp
ened posts that composed the palisade.
A moment later his eyes were above
the level of the obstacles, taking in all
within their range beyond. There was
no one in sight close by, and Korak
drew himself to the top and dropped
lightly to the ground within the in
closure,
Then he commenced his stealthy
search of the village. First toward the
Arab tents he made his way, smiling
and listening. He passed behind them,
searching for some sign of Meriem
Not even the wild Arab ours heard MS
passage, so silently he went-a shadow
passing through shadows.
Naked but for his leopard skin and
his loin cloth, Korak the Killer SUNK
into the shadows at the back Of the
tent, where his keen scent told MN
Meriem was. His sharp knife slit
six foot opening in the tent wall, and
Korak, tall and mighty, sprang
through upon the astonished visions OF
the inmates.
Meriem saw and recognized him the
instant that he entered the apartment
Her heart leaped in pride and joy at
the sight of the noble figure for which
it had hungered so long.
''Korak y she cried.
"Meriem! He uttered the single
word as he hurled himself upon the
inmates of the tent. Three negresses
leaped from their sleeping mats,
screaming. Meriem tried to prevent
| them from escaping, but before she
could succeed the terrified blacks had
| darted through the hole in the tent
wall made by Korak'S knife and were
gone screaming through the village.
Korak turned toward Meriem, and
at the same moment bloody and
disheveled apparition leaped into the
apartment.
Morrison cried the girl.
For it was Baynes, who, despite his
wounds, had made his way to the
sheiks village.
Korak turned and looked at the new
conner. He had been about to take
Meriem in his arms forgetful of all
that might have transpired since last
he had seen her. Then the coming
of the young Englishman recalled the
scene he had witnessed in the little
clearing, and a wave of misery s"ep'
over the ape man.
Already from without came the
sounds of the alarm that the three
negresses had started. Men were run
ming toward the tent There was nc
time to be lost.
"Ouick!" cried Korak, turning to-
ward Baynes, who had scarce yet real
lied whether he was facing a friend
or foe. "Take her to the palisade, fol
lowing the rear of the tents. Here is
my rope. With it you can scale the
wall and make your escape"
But you, Korak?' cried Meriem.

The Serbs

. We must admire the fiery
Serbs, who have come back SO
strong; their dauntless courage
nothing curbs or sidetracks very
long. We thought the Serbs had
looped the loops, were done, for
good and all; but they came
back, with ringing whoops, this
most suspicious fall. They've
undergone enough of woe to
rend their souls in two, ker-
furnmixed by brutal foe that
never mercy knew. That foe be-
lieved all Serbs were canned who
were not in their graves; that
never, in their native land, would
they be aught but slaves. The
peoples everywhere believed that
they with war were done; and
this explains why men were
peeved when speaking of the
Hun. And then one morning
brought the news, "The Serbs
are coming back! they're
sprinting, in their six-league
shoes, upon the Bulgar's track!
They prance along, with buoyant
step, upon the mountain road;
they're loaded up with so much
pep they threaten to explode !"
Oh, gallant Serbs, you suffered
much, first victims of the fray,
and now it simply beats the
Dutch how you put up the hay!
Oh, Serbs, they made you the
excuse for this atrocious war,
and now they wonder what the
deuce they made that blunder
for. WALT MASON.

RULES LIVER AND BACON
TWO DISTINCT MEATS
Food Administration Interprets Re-
cent Order Issued to Cafe and
Restaurant Managers.

Does the food administration con-
slider liver and bacon one meat or two?'
Frantic requests to answer the fore
going question have been made of the
administration by restaurant and cafe
managers of the country.
The answer is: Liver and bacon are
two meats.
The District food administrator was
asked today by The Star to interpret
the order as included in the twelve
general orders" which went into effect
among managers of eating places of
the nation last Monday to conserve
food. and he declared that liver and
bacon are plural and in no way can
they be interpreted SO as to consti-
tute one meat.
The order in question in part reads:
NO public eating place shall serve
or permit to be served to one patron
at any one meal more than one kind
of meat. For the purpose of this rule
meat shall be considered as including
beef, mutton, pork, poultry and any
by-productS thereof"
Hotel and restaurant keepers in the
past have maintained that liver and
bacon were one meat, but the decision
Of the food administration apparently
overruleS the claim.

War Department Planning to Sup.
ply Army Officers Material.

If present plans materialize, officers
of the Army may be able to get
their uniforms at cost through the
Quartermaster Corps after December
1 next. That is, they may obtain
the material from quartermasters at
cost and have their uniforms made
up by any tailor they select. Many
reputable tailors have agreed to make
the uniforms at reasonable rates, and
a list is being compiled at the War
Department.
1t is stated that tailors will not
be asked to make any fixed price, as
it is being recognized that differences
in Workmanship entails differences in
prices. All are expected. however. to
do the work as cheaply as possible.
With that understanding, the depart
ment will take steps to safeguard the
tailors from bad accounts.
