Of camp. He halted to listen. 1t was
repeated twice. Then silence.

broke into q rapid run. What a fool
Malbihn was, indeed, thus to chance
5eopardizing fortune!
Further away from camp than Jens-

stranger who was not even aware of
the proximity of white men other than
himself, hunter with a handful of
sleek, black warriors.
He, too, listened intently for q mo-
ment. That the voice was that of a
woman In distress he could not doubt,
and SO he also fastened 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 erst Ehile friend, burst into the
tent. Malbihn. interrupted. dropped

Jensen was stin moving toward
Malbihn at the time, but at the flash
Of the explosion he stopped. His re-
volyer dropped from nerveless fingers.
For 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 were 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.
1t was not until the third bullet had
found its 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.

All that day they marched and the

patient little waiter moving, silent and
stately, beside her hard captOrs,
1t was on the fourth day that Mer.
fem began definitely to give up hope.
Something had happened to Korak.
She knew it. He would never come
now, and these men would take her
away. Presently they would kill her.
She would never see her Korak again.
On this day the Swedes rested, for
they had marched rapidly and their
men were tired. Malbihn and Jensen
had gone from camp to hunt, taking
different directions.
They had been gone about an hour
when the door Of Meriem's tent was
lifted and Malbihn entered. His look
portended no good to the girl.
Out in the jungle Jensen had
brought down two bucks. His hunting
had not carried him far afleId, nor
was he prone to permit 1t to do so. He
was suspicious of Malbihn. The very
fact that his companion had refused to
accompany him and elected instead to
hunt alone in another direction would
not, under ordinary circumstances,
have seemed fraught with sinister sug-
gestion, but Jensen knew Malbihn
well, and so, having secured meat, he
turned Immediately back toward camp
while his boys brought in his kill.

CHAPTER TX.
When Thieves Fall Out.

When Thieves Fall Out.
80 the two Swedes approached the
village Of Kovudoo with friendly words
upon their tongues and deep craft in
their hearts.
Theis 2lens were well made. There
was no mention Of the white prisoner.
They chose to pretend that they were
not aware that Kovudoo had, q 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
presents seemed anxious to assure
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. It was during
the last moon. He fell from his horse
when the beast stepped in 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.
II know where there is a white girl, !"
hessaid Unexpectedly. If you wish to
buy her she may be had cheap"
Malbihn shrugged. 1--WE have 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, K0vudoo," said Jensen. "You
should be ashamed to try to make fun
Of old friends"
Kovudoo sprang to his feet. "Come, !"
he said, II 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 sly wink. Together they
followed Kovudoo toward his hut. In
the dim interior they discerned the
dgure Of woman lying bound upon
q sleeping mat.
Malbihn took 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.
F'lt is dark in here. You cannot see,

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
By Taking Advantage of Proper Mo- ment Many of Ruts and Bumps
 Can Be Smoothed Out.

Most earth and gravel roads are in bad shape during the entire winter, largely because of the heavy fall haul ing of harvested crops. and the rush of necessary farm work, which takes precedence over any kind of road work. The cold weather strikes them in this condition and makes each rut and bump almost as solid as rock, and in the spring these break down into mud.
 Travelling over these ruts Is very racklng, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, operation. The rough iolts re- qure a reduction in speed. cause an added strain on all classes of hauling
