CHAPTER vIl-contInued.

A year had passed since the white
men had fred upon the Lad and driven
him back into the jungle to take up
his search for the only remaining crea-
lures to whom he might look for COM
panionship-the great apes. For
months the two had wandered east
ward. deeper and deeper into the jun
Gle.
The year had done much for the boy
turning his already mighty muscles

craft to . poiAt where 1t verged upon
the uncanny. perfecting his arboreal
instincts and training him in the use
Of both natural and artificial weapons
OF offense and defense.
He had become at last creature of
marvellous physical powers and mental
cunning. He was still but boy, yet
80 great was his strength that the
powerful anthropoid with which he
often engaged in mimic battles was
no match for him. Akut had taught
him to hight AZ the bull ape fights, nor
ever was there a teacher better fitted
to instruct in the savage warfare Of
primordial man or a pupil better
equipped to profit BY the lessons of q
master.
Az the two searched for q band Of
the almost extinct species Of ape to
which Akut belonged they lived upon
the best the Jungle afforded. Antelope
and zebra fell to the boys spear or
were dragged down BY the two power
full beasts Of prey, who leaped upon
them from some overhanging limb or
from the ambush Of the underground
beside the trail to the water hole or
the ford.
Akut and Jack. now called Korak In
the ape language, were moving slowly
down the wind, and warily, because
the advantage was with whatever
beast might chance to be hunting
ahead Of them, where their scent spoor
was being borne by the light breeze.
Suddenly the two halted simultaneous

side. Like creatures hewn from solid
rock they stood immovable. listening.
Not a muscle Quivered.
For several seconds they remained
thus. Then Korak advanced cautiously

heels. Neither had made . sound that
would have been appreciabls to hu-

Varieties Of Oysters.
(TO BE CONTINUED

We do not distinguish many differ
ent kinds Of oysters when We eat
them, and yet there are, 1t is said, be-
tween $50 and 400 varieties of oysters
In the world. Among the smallest

est oysters are those Of the Pacific
ocean and the Philippine islands. Ordi-
nary oysters of choice varieties, trans
planted from the Atlantic coast to the
Pacific, have been found to develop
into great size. but to lose their flavor
to such an extent that they became
scarcely eatable.

trance. He enters n huge room with
hundreds Of others, Is assigned to a
place on one Of the long benches which
face each other like the pews in the
large railroad station at home. A big
i clothes rack on rollers faces him. He
Is given a Red Cross comfort bag for
the storage Of his valuables, a check
with the number of his place on 1t
with duplicate on his clothes. which
he is ordered to remove to the last
thread.
So many minutes are allowed him
for the disrobng process. There are,
others waiting. SO the doughboy
strips and takes his place in line at
the side of the room. The line moves
forward and he finds himself In a
steam-clouded room with tiny streams
of hot water kissing from shower
! sprays overhead.
A big sergeant shoves wad of soft
soap into his hand as he passes and
shouts: Make 1t snappy. You've just
got 30 seconds" Sergeants are always
In hurry and expect everyone else
to be. The doughboy jumps under one
of the sprays with a gasp which turns
to shout Az he feels the hot water
bring glow TO his body. At the word
''all out" he steps to one side and is
handed a towel TO dry himself.
Another line is formed and quiet
creeps over the crowd. The next room
holds the doughboy's fate, and he
knows 1t. It's the medical inspection
/ room. It's the same old feeling he
had when he enlisted and came to be
examined. Doctors always were the
bane of his existence. The door opens
and he steps through

passes on, too. His eyes. ears and

He passes on; the little white card al

He passes to the last of the six IA

the Argonne offensive. With the rest
he passes on into the next room, where
another sergeant with Just as loud a

doesn't really fit, he still grins.

of Liberal.
More apt is Mr. Byers to be
the man who builds the railroad

One other event we overlooked
in the Jack Fisher story was that

get out and help Maxwell and

to Ed. Jennings
Ed. I'm going t, leave you

we'll hold you responsible for
him."

out.

of the boys down here about it.
All l have talked with are in fa-
v6r "f the move. and think it
would be good thing to keep
the ball rolling.
s. L Thompson said he would
give 81, 900 toward the road COM
ing to or through Stonington;
and the rest of the boys 1 have
talked with say they would sign
for 81 90 per acre.
If you think it would be best,
you can se.d me q paper headed
like You haye yours for signers.
In that way you would get
more names to publish. and find
out what the people want and
would be willing to do; andif the
rest of the towns in the county
would do the same way, it would
give good idea of what can be
done toward getting a railroad
through this short-grass country
Do as you think best, but it
would please me to have some
on, at each town to solicit names
of those willing to give 81 90
an acre, and that would give you
an idea Of how much could be
raised towards the building of a
railroad.
