Several of the blacks saw her and
tried to intercept her flight, but the
menace of the harmless weapon kept
them at q distance.
And so she won beyond the encir-

Jungle to the south.
Straight into the branches of tree
she went, true to the arboreal instincts
of the little Mangani she had been, and
there she stripped off her riding skirt,
her shoes and her stockings, for she
knew that she had before her jour
,ney and a flight which would not brook
the burden of these garments.
She had not gone far before she COM
menced to realize how slight were her
chances for survival without means of
defense or weapon to bring down
meat. Why had she not thought to
strip the cartridge belt from Malbihn's
waist before she had left his tent1

through the screening foliage until they
could obtain view of the river, and
there, almost to the other shore, they
saw Malbihn's canoes making rapidly
for camp.
The black recognized his companions
Immediately.
How can we crossw asked Baynes.
The black shook his head. There
was no canoe. and the crocodiles made
1t equivalent to suicide to enter the
water in an attempt to swim across.
Just then the fellow Glanced to
glance downward. Beneath him,
wedged among the branches of tree,
lay canoe.
The negro grasped Baynes' arm and
pointed toward his find. The Hon.
Morrison could scarce repress shout
Of exultation. Quickly the two slid
down the dropping branches into the
boat. The black seized the paddle, and
Baynes showed them out from beneath
the tree. A second later the canoe shot
out upon the bosom of the river and
headed toward the opposite shore and
the camp Of the Swede.
Baynes squatted In the bow, strain
Ing his eyes after the men pulling the
other canoes upon the bank across
from him. He saw Malbihn step from
the bow Of the foremost of the little
craft. He saw him turn and glance
back across the river. He could see
his start of surprise as his eyes fell
upon the pursuing canoe and called the
attention of his followers to 1t.
Now the canoe was within easy
speaking distance of the shore.
What do you want?" yelled NAL
bihn, raising his weapon threateningly.
You, hang you!" shouted Baynes,
whipping out his revolver and firing al
most simultaneously with the Swede.
AS the two reports rang out Malbhn

at his breast staggered, fell, first to
his knees and then lunged upon his
face. Baynes stiffencd His head flew
back spasmodically. For an instant
he stood thus and then crumpled very
gently into the bottom of the boat.
Baynes turned weakly in the dlrec-
ton of the shore, to see Malbihn drawn
up upon his elbows, leveing his rifle
at him. The Englishman slid to the
bottom of the canoe as bullet whiz-
zed above him. Malbihn, sore hit. took
longer in aiming, nor was his aim as
sure as formerly.
With difficulty Baynes turned him

but Baynes did not finch or duck.
With painstaking care he aimed at tho
target upon the shore, away from
which he now was drifting with the
current. His finger closed upon the
trigger. There was a flash, report.

Here we are at last" said Hanson.
He drew his revolver and fired in the
air. Instantly the camp across the riv-
Ier was astir. Black men ran down to
the rivers bank. Hanson hailed them.
But there was no sign Of the Hon.
Morrison Baynes.
In accordance with their masters In
structiOns the blacks manned a canoe
and r0wed across. Hanson placed Ne
riem in the little craft and entered 1t
himself, leaving two boys to watch the
horses, which the canoe was to return
fer and swim across to the camp side
of the river.
Once in the camp Meriem asked for
Baynes. Fer the moment her fears
had been allayed by the sight Of the
camp, which she had come to look
upon as mere or less Of a myth. Han
son pointed toward the single tent that
stood in the center Of the Enclosure.
There" he said, and preceded her
toward 1t. At the entrance he held the
flap aside and mstioned her within.
IMeriem entered and locked about. The
tent was empty.
She turned toward Hanson. There
was a broad grin on his face.
"Where is Mr.. BaynesT she de-
manded.
HE amt here" replied Hanson.
''Leastwise l don't see him. do you?
But I'm here, and I'm a better man
than that thing ever was. You don't
need him no more-you got me-" and
he laughed uproariously and reached
for her.
Meriem was looking full into his face
as she fought for freedom when there
came over her q sudden recollection Of
a similar scene in which she had been
a participant and with 1t full recogni-
ton Of her assailant. He was the
Swede Milbihn, who had attacked her
once before, who had shot his compan-
ion, who would have saved her and
from whom she had been rescued by
Bwana.
His smooth face had deceived her,
but now, with the growing beard and
the similarity Of conditions, recogni-
ton came swift and sure.
But today there would be no Bwana
to save herl
As Meriem struggled with Malbihn
hope died within her. She did not
utter q sound, for she knew that there
was none to come to her assistance,
and, besides, the jungle training Of her
earlier life had taught her the futility
of appeals for succor In the savage
world of her upbringing.
But as she fought to free herself one
hand came in contact with the butt
of Malbihn's revolver where it rested
in the holster at his hip. Slowly her
fingers encircled the coveted prize and
drew it from its resting place. She
leveled 1t at his breast, but the ham,
mer fell futilely upon an empty cham
Der.
For q moment she eluded Malbihn
and ran toward the entrance to the
tent but at the very doorway his heavy
hand fell upon her shoulders and drag
ged her back. Wheeling upon him with
the fury of wounded lioness, Meriem
grasped the long revolver by the bar
rel, swung it high above her head
and crashed it down full in MaIbihn's
face.
With an oath of pain and rage the
hold upon her. and then sank uncon-

to Be Conciliatory

London, Dee. 20. The proposed Irish
bill which Premier Lloyd George will

Monday will, il is believed, forecast u
government for Ireland analogous TO
the state governmental system in
America. Ii is understood 10 provide
for separate parliapents for Ulster and
southern Island, respectively, with q
superior body chosen by both sections,
all Of the bodies to be responsible re-
garding imperial affairs to the British
Parliament, to which Irish representa-
tiyes will be elected, as the states elect
members to the American House OF
Representatives
The idea viii be TO give large
amount of autonomy to each section of
Ireland, with thoroughly easy machin
cry providing for their combination as
soon as they desire to unite, the bill
being intended to pave the road for
elimination of the idea OF the partition
of Ireland. To combined parliament
| it is indicated even greater power may
be given than is proposed for the sep
arate sections.
1t is expected that the premiers an
lnouncement viii be most conciliatory
and comprehensive in outlining what
he hopes will be an acceptable plan
| The new scheme of government differs
considerably from the plans previously
| discussed and carries concessions on
various questions much further The
government, in framing the bill, is uu-
dcrstood to have kept before it as pri-
mary points, first, that the secession Of
Ireland and the establishment of an in
dependent Irish republic could not be

the present system Of government could
not be continued and that il was im
