turned Immediately back toward camp
while his boys brought in his kill.
He had covered about half the re-
turn journey when a scream came
family to his ears from the direction
of camp. He halted to listen. 1t was
repeated twice. Then silence.
With a muttered curse Jensen
broke into a rapid run. What a fool
Malbihn was, indeed, thus to chance
jeopardizing q fortune!
Further away from camp than Jens-
sen and upon the opposite side an
other heard Meriem's Screams-a
stranger who was not even aware of
the proximity of white men other than
himself, hunter with q handful of
sleek, black warriors.
He, too, listened intently for mo-
ment. That the voice was that of
woman in distress he could not doubt,
and so he also hastened at run IN
the direction of the affrighted voice,
but he was much farther away than
Jensen, so that the latter reached the
tent first.
What the Swede found there reused
no pity within his calloused heart, only
anger against his fellow scoundrel.
Meriem was fighting off her attacker.
Malbihn was showering blows upon
her.
Jensen, streaming foul curses upon
his erstwhile friend, burst into the
tent. Malbihn, interrupted, dropped
his victim and turned to meet JensH
sens infuriated charge.
He whipped 4 revolver from his hip.

vudoo himself. All that they wished
to know was that she was the girl
who had been stolen from the sheik
several years before. They thought
that they would recognize her for such
If she were indeed the same. But even
so, the testimony of the runner Kovu-
doc had sent to the sheik was such as
to assure them that the girl was the
one they had once before attempted
to abduct.
AS Meriem was brought forth from
the darkness Of the hut's interior the
two men turned. with every appear
ancc of disinterestedness to glance 1t
her. 1t was with difficulty that Nal

move Of the others hand, drew almost
simultaneously, and both men fired at
once.
Jensen was still moving toward
Malbihn at the time, but at the flash
of the explosion he stopped. His re.
volver dropped from nerveless fingers.
For q moment he staggered drunkenly.
Deliberately Malbihn put two more
bullets into his friends body at close
range.
Even in the midst of the excitement
and her terror Meriem found herself
wondering at the tenacity Of life
which the hit man displayed. His
eyes We're closed, his head dropped
forward upon his breast, his hands
hung Imply before him. Yet still he
stood there upon his feet, though he
reeled horribly.
It was not until the third bullet had
found it's mark within his body that
he lunged forward upon his face. Then
Malbihn approached him and, with an
oath, kicked him viciOusly. Then he
turned once more to Meriem.

There is no prospect now of respite
from the necessity to knit and if-such
a respite were in sight there are many
women who would not take advantage
of it. This knitting fer the soldiers
turns out to be n fascinating occupa-
ton that quiets the nerves and salts

worth while.
There is no end 10 the demand for

willingness of women to make

lifting. Even the end of the war will

useful.
The knitting bag is the outward and
visible sign of our patriotic industry
and every day brings out new ones.
The last arrivals are somewhat smaller
than the sweater bags that were so
numerous in the summer and fall fol

them. Satin and ribbon are used for
making many of these new bags, in
plain and printed weaves and in bro

are designed SO that they can be cas-

it and, what is more to the point, have

Birds That Are Credited
With Bringing Good Luck

Tradition has it that late swallow
brings good luck to the hostel he ia
vors, and many country people still
regard the bird as. semiconsecrated,
and refuse to allow it's empty nest to
be interfered with during the winter
months, observes London Tit-Bits.
With the spring, the birds return to
their original caves, and it is sign
Of impending misfortune if they neg
lect their former nests. A swallow at
sea brings disaster in its train, but a
sand swallow is considered a mascot
by the surrounding countryside.
Even the humble hedge sparrow may
lay claim to some share of notoriety,
for illness attacks the occupant of the
room into which it gains access. A
dead wren is another little treasure,
and the superstitious Manx fishermen
would never set sail at one time with
out one. A live wren will not work the
same result, but a dead wren can vie
with the renowned caul among sea su-
perstitions.

CHAPTER TX.
When Thieves Fall Out.

When thieves all Out.
So the two Swedes approached the
village of Kovudoo with friendly words
upon their tongues and deep craft in
their hearts.
Their plans we're well made. There
was no mention Of the white prisoner.
They chose to pretend that they were
not aware that Kovudoo had white
prisoner They exchanged gifts with
the old chief, haggling with his pleni-
potentiaries over the value of what
they were to receive for what they
gave, as is customary and proper when
one has no Interior motives. Unwar-
.ranted generosity would have aroused
suspicion.
During the palaver which followed
they retailed the gossip of the villages
through which they had passed, receiv-
ing In exchange such news as Kovudoo
possessed. The palaver was long and
tiresome, as these native ceremonies
always are to Europeans. Kovudoo
made no mention of his prisoner, and
from his generous efforts of guides and
himself Of the speedy departure of his
guests.
:: It was Malbihn who, quite casually,
near the close of their talk, mentioned
the fact that the sheik was dead. Kov-
udoo evinced interest and surprise.
= "You did not know it?" asked NAL
bihn. "That is strange. 1t was during
the last moon. He fell from his horse
when the beast stepped in a hole. The
horse fell upon him. When his men
came up the sheik was quite dead" =
Kovudoo scratched his head. He was
much disappointed. No sheik meant no
ransom for the white girl.
81 know where there is white girl," !"
he said Unexpectedly. "If you wish to
buy her she may be had cheap"
Malbihn shrugged. "We ve.trouble
enough, Kovudoo," he said, without
burdening ourselves with an old,
broken down she hyena, and as for
paying for one"-Malbihn snapped his
fingers.
"She is young" said Kovudoo, land
good looking"
The Swedes laughed. There are no
good looking white women in the jun
gle, Kovudoo," said Jensen. "You
should be ashamed to try to make fun
of old friends"
Kovudoo sprang to his feet. "Come, u
he said, Il will show you"
Malbihn and Jensen rose to follow
him, and as they did so their eyes met
and Malbihn slowly dropped one of
his lids in a sly wink. Together they
followed Kovudoo toward his hut. In
the dim interior they discerned the
figure of q woman lying bound upon
u sleeping mat.
Malbihn took a single glance and
turned away. "She must be a thou
sand years old, Kovudoo," he said as
he left the hut. -
'She is young!" cried the savage.
''It Is dark in here. You cannot see,
Wait. I will have her brought out in
the sunlight" And he commanded the
two warriors who watched the girl to
cut the bonds from her ankles and
lead her forth for inspection.
Malbihn and Jensen evinced no
eagerness, though both were fairly
bursting with it, not to see the girl,
but to obtain possession Of her. They
cared not If she had the face of mar
mosht or the figure of pot bellied Ko-
