The ape made no reply, and the boy
swung to the ground and started at q
brisk walk toward the safari. He was
hundred yards away, perhaps, when
one of the whites caught sight Of him.
Inc man gave shout of alarm, in
stantly leveling his rifle upon the boy
and firing. The bullet struck Just in
front OF its mark, scattering turf and
fallen leaves against the lads legs. A
second later the Other white and the
black soldiers of the rear guard were
firing Historically at him.
Jack eleaped behind a tree, unhit.
Days of panic ridden flight through
the jungle had filed Carl Jensen and
Sven Malbihn with jangling nerves and
their native boys with unreasonable
terror. Every new note from behind
sounded to their frightened ears the
coming Of the sheik and his blood
thirsty followers.
When, after conquering their nerv-
BUSINESS, the rear guard advanced upon
the enemy's position to investigate
they found nothing, for Akut and the
boy had retreated out Of range Of the
unfriendly guns.
Jack was disheartened and sad. He
had not entirely recovered from the
depressing effect Of the unfriendly re-
ception he had received at the hands
OF the blacks, and now he had found
an even more hostile one accorded
him by men Of his own color.
1.-THE lesser beasts flee from me in
terror" he murmured half to himself !:
the greater beasts are ready to tear
me to pieces at sight. Black men would
kill me with their spears or arrows.
And now white men, my own kind,
have fired upon and driven me away.
"Are all the creatures of the world
my enemies? Has the son of Tarzan
no friend other than Akut?"
The old ape drew closer to the boy.
There are the great apes" he said.
'They only will be the friends of
Akuts friend. Only the great apes
will welcome the son of Tarzan. You
have seen that men want nothing Of
you. Let us go now and continue our

the spoor of man, of white men, fol
among the prints Of naked feet were
the well defined outlines of European
made boots.
The trail, which marked the passage
of good sized company, pointed north
at right angles to the course the boy
and the ape were taking toward the
coast.
Doubtless these white men knew the
nearest coast settlement. They might
even be headed for it now. At any
rate. 1t would be worth while overtak.
Ing them, even II only for the pleasure
of meeting again creatures of his own
kind.
The boy was In the lead, excitement
and anticipation carrying him ahead
of his companion. And it was the boy
who first saw the rear guard of the
caravan and the white men he had
been so anxious to overtake.
Stumbling along the tangled trail of
those ahead dozen heavily laden
blacks who, from fatigue or sickness,
had dropped behind were being prod
ded by the, black soldiers of the rear
guard, kicked when they fell and then
roughly jerked to their feet and hus-
tied onward. On either side walked
a giant white man, whose heavy blond
boards almost obffterated their coun-
tenances.
The boys lips formed a glad cry of
"a Int a tinn To-
the whites-a cry that was never ut
tered, for almost Immediately he wit
messed that which turned his happi-
ness to anger as he saw that both the
white men were welding heavy whips
brntally upon the naked backs of the
poor devils staggering along beneath
loads that would have overtaxed the
strength and endurance of strong men
at the beginning of new day.
Every now and then the rear guard
and the white men cast apprehensiye
glances rearward, as though momen-
tarily expecting the naturalization of
some long expected danger from that
quarter. The boy had paused after
his first sight of the caravan and now
was following slowly in the wake of
the sordid, brutal spectacle.
Presently Akut came up with him
To the beast there was less Of horror
In the sight than to the lad, yet even
the great ape growled beneath his
breath ut useless torture being infict-
ed upon the helpless slaves.
He looked Mt the boy. Now that he
had caught up with the creatures of
his own kind, why was it that he did
not rush forward and greet them? He
put the question to his companion.

And so he held tight to his deter
mination to find a port upon the coast
where he might communicate with
them and receive funds for his return
to London. There he felt sure that he
could now persuade his parents to let
him spend at least portion of his
time upon those African estates which
from little careless remarks dropped
at home he knew his father possessed.
That would be something-better at
least than lifetime of the cramped
and cloying restrictions of civilization.
And so he was rather contented
than otherwise as he made his way in
the direction of the coast, for, while
he enjoyed the liberty and the savage
pleasures of the wild, his conscience
was at the same time clear, for he
knew that he was doing all that lay In
his power to return to his parents. He
looked forward, too, to meeting white
men again-creatures of his own kind,
for there had been many occasions
upon which he had longed for other
companionship than that of the old
ape.
And at last the much dreamed of
moment came. They were passing
through tangled forest when the
boys sharp eyes discovered from the
lower branches through which he was
travelling an old but well marked spoor

CHAPTER VII,
A Rescue.

year had passed since the two
Swedes had been driven in terror from
the savage country where the sheik
held sway. Little Meriem still played
with her doll Geeka, lavishing all her
childish love upon the now almost
hopeless ruin Of what had never even
in its palmiest days, possessed even a
slight degree of loneliness.
The sheik had been away for long
time, conducting caravan Of ivory,
skins and rubber far into the north.
The interim had been one Of great
peace for Meriem. 1t Is true that Ma
bunu had still been with her, to pinch
or beat her as the mood seized the vii
famous old hag, but Nahum was only
one. When the sheik was there also
there were two of them, and the sheik
was stronger and more brutal even
than Nahum.
Little Meriem often wondered why
the grim old man hated her SO. 1t Is
true that he was cruel and unjust to
all with whom he came in contact, but
to Meriem he reserved his greatest
cruelties, his most studied injustices.
AS the little girl played she pratt
tied continuously to her companion,
propped in sitting position with a
couple of twigs. She was totally alb
sorbed in Geeka-so much so that she
did not note the gentle swaying of the
branches of the tree above her as they
bent to the body of creature that had
entered them stealthily from the jun
gle.
In happy ignorance the little girl
played on, while from above two steady
eyes looked down upon her, unblInk-
ing, unwavering. There was none 9TH
err than the little girl In this part of
the village, which had been almost de.
serted since the sheik had left long
months before upon his journey to-
ward the north.
And out in the jungle, an hours
march from the village the sheik was
leading his returning caravan home
ward.

Refutation of the widespread ru-
mors of total crop failures in Mon

review by Charles D. Greenfield, state
commissioner of agriculture and pub
licity. Good yields from the many
irrigated regions of the state are
predicted, and in the western part of
the state fruit, alfalfa and grain crops
are in excellent condition.
The business of the Lewiston Mill

The United States government, act

culture under the plant quarantine
act of August 20, 1912, has promul-

vision, importation of all species and
varieties of wheat, oats, and rye in
the raw, uncleaned or Impressed
state from Italy, France, Germany,
Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland, India,
Japan, Brazil and Australia. This
action is taken, because of the dan
ger of further introduction into the
United States of the destructive
plant diseases known as flag smut

comes effective August Is, 1919. 1t
is unimportant as affecting CONNER
cial importations, because normally
the grains mentioned are not import

object is to control and safeguard
the occasional entry of such grains,
either as minor commercial importa-
lions or for seeding purposes.

Berlin.-A large staff of experts is

the work of organization is being

ALLIES LOSS SLIGHT
ON RUSSIAN FRONT

LONDON, April 4.-The Bolsheviki
delivered an attack on the Archangel
front without artillery preparation
during the last As hours, were beaten
off with a fair amount of losses, ac-
cording to news received here. The
allied losses were slight. The attack
occurred at Bolshoia OZera.
ARCHANGEL, April AT allied
headquarters this afternoon it was re-
ported that the situation was un-
changed on all fronts. The enemy
has made no new attacks since being
severely repulsed yesterday, but the
artillery on both sides continues ac-
tive in the Odozerskaia sector.
After the Bolshevih had held a
postponement for several hours as
tride the road between Bolshoia OZera
and 'Odozerskaia on Sunday afternoon,
they were driven out and it is re-
ported by prisoners that their losses
were extremely heavy. One shell from
a Russian battery exploded in the
midst of a party of Bolshevik, kill
ing fifteen men. The allied machine
gun fire also caused many casualties.
