No Heroine and No Real Her
Tale by Talbot N1undy Who Supplies in Their Stead First
Class Assorted Villains and Thrilling Hunt for Ivory

vi vi
Lieutenant Schubert are bestial PrIls-
siiniSm incarnate The most cheerful
chapter is the still revolving descrip-
tiOn of the contest between two Ger
mans to see which could stand the
greater number of lashes. The worst
picture is that of the bearded pro-
fessor tying living animals to hill
of white. ants to see how long they
would live; accomplishing with one
stroke the satisfaction of his scientific
curiosity and demonstrating to. the
natives what would be their fate if
they disobeyed him.
All this was ten years or so before
the war. The heroes of the novel
were hunting the ivory for the sake of
adventure and their own personal for
tunes. SchilIingschen was hunting it
by order of his Government, so that
the millions could be used to further
a German scheme to undermine Brit
ish rule in Africa by means of re-
ligious influence among the natives;
not using religion made in Ger
many, but employing MOhammedan-
ism. nv
1t is evident how unwise it would
have beea to bring ii heroine among
81,
would have been created aud have
gone the route if Monty had come
along on the trip, but with Monty
discarded by the author there was not
fit mate for heroine Why, these
thrce-two Englishmen and an Amer
ican-loOked on while the Germans
committed their brutalities among the
natives and the three did nothing but
protest. If a heroine was present
they would have been obliged to leap
upon the whole German garrison and
tie them hand and foot. Why net kill
them? says the callOused reader. Well,
Talbot Mundy wouldn't let them kill
anybody except in battle. When
their enemy tried to shoot them, burn
them alive or throw them to the croc-
Odiles, they just caught him and tied
him up and started for the nearest
justice of the peace with him. and then
he escaped and the same process was
repeated
In the end Mr.. Mundy always
finishes the villains with the kindly
aid of lion or a crocodile. or, as
in the ease of Schillingschen. lets viii
lainy blow it's own block off with its
last cartridge No. sir: the three
heroes would not kill the wicked pro-
feSsOr. They would let him wander
around with all his teeth knocked out
and his mind and food gone and moth
ing left him but a desire to extermi-
nate the English but they would not
put him out of his misery. The
Greek COutlass would have killed him,
and indeed tried to do 50 occasionally.
Lady IsObel would have killed him
after she changed sides. But the
three heroes would not Kill him. They
knew that Mr.. Mundy has rent and
grocers bills to pay and that if YOU
kill a character who is interesting,
even if he is the foulest fiend that ever
left Heidelberg, one page before the
time when he has just naturally got
to die. You knock SO much off your
own income.
