3'HIS roadside sings again to-
Z day
Here where the barren
branches SWay
Ind keen December WindS sweep By
Beneath a cold and azure sky
The old road echoes TO some tread
Of morning in a vanished hour
When here the red-cheeked courier
sped,
And here the young lands pride and
fower
Of glory and achievement came
To add fresh glory to his name.
The UilldgeS had all come out
To hear the neWS, to wdtch about
To catch some glimpse far up the
udy
Of WGShineton-tcho from the fray,
And from the council and the crest,
Was riding dorm his sword to lay
Once more upon his countrys
breast
While he stepped back to that swest
rest
He yearned for. Yonder sounds a
call!
A bugle's note. mayhap the fall
Of households on the old State
road
From every hamlet and abode
Men, women, children, hurry forth:
The wind as street., though vest by
north.
And Keen Nth that sharp chill that
When on the hill the partridge
drums.
This way they look, this wGy and
that
They'll know him By his coet ui'G
hat:
They've seen his face IN pictures, so
There wont be any doubt they'll
knoW;
But deep within their hearts they
sigh
TheyH-know him By his fortnight
eye,
His noble nisn, his lofty frame,
His fitting in nth road and sky
as nature FITS all great forms IN,
And signs the portrait Sctth her
name.
The young folk chatter smile and
grin.
The old are prone to be-serere.

Meriem sat in silence. She hated TO

you hate the sheik?" came grim
voice from behind them.
Both turned to see the sheik himself
standing a few PAGES from them. Abb
dull still held the picture in his hand.
Now he thrust it within his burnoose.
Yes" he said, Il hate the sheik."
And as he spoke he sprang toward the
older man, felled him with blow and
dashed ON across the village TO the
line where his horse was picketed, sad
died and ready. for Abdul Kamak had
been about to ride forth to hunt when
he had seen the stranger girl alone by
the bushes.
Leaping into the saddle, Abdul Ka-
max dashed for the village gates. The
Sheik, momentarily stunned by the
blow that had felled him, now stag
gered to his feet, shouting Justify to
his followers to stop the escaping
Arab.
A dozen blacks leaped forward to in

zle of Abdul Kamak's long musket
which he dashed from side to side about
him as he spurred on toward the gate.
But here he must surely be inter

Tantor had landed him safely upon
the same side of the river as lay the
village of the shelk the ape man de-
serted his bulky comrade and took to
the trees In 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 it's
cruel confines. No longer did the giant
tree spread its branches above the
wooden rampant, but ordinary man
made defenses were scarce considered
obstacles by Korak.
LOosening the rope II 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 ne made his way. smiling
and listening. He passed behind them,
searching for some sign CT Meriem.
Not even the wild Arab ours BEARD his
passage. so silently he went--a shadow
passing through shadows.
Naked but for his leopard skin and
his loin cloth, KOrak the Killer skunk
into the shadows at the back of the
tent, where his keen scent told him
Meriem was. His sharp knife slit q
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 tLdt 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.
rKorak I" she cried.
"Meriem = He uttered the single
word as he hurled himself upon the
inmates of the tent. Three negresses
leaped from theii 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 a 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
sheik's village.
KOrak turned and looked at the new
conner. He had been about to take
MerieIn 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 IT, the little
clearing, and a wave of misery swept
over the ape man.
Already from without came the
sounds of the alarm that the lnree
negresses had started. Men weie rum
ming toward the tent. There was no
time to be lost.
Quick! I" 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.
II will remain" replied the ape man.
Il have business with the sheik."
