could find no water. and but little
food. so that after several days Of
wandering he found himself SO re-
duced in strength that he could barely
drag himself along.
few stagnant pools at considerable
distances apart saved him from death
by thirst; but his was a pitiable state
when finally he stumbled by accident
upon large river in country where
fruit was abundant. and also game
which he might bag by means Of
combination Of stealth. cunning. and a
crude knob-stick which he had fash
Toned from a fallen limb.
One day. as he hunted. pair of saw
age eyes discovered him from the con-
cealment of the branches of a great
tree beneath which the black warrior
passed. Bloodshot, wicked eyes they
were, set in fierce and hairy face.
The creature was Chulk, and he
looked down upon the unconscious
man more In curiosity than in hate
Chulk eyed the pouch which. suspend
ed over Mugambi's shoulder, swung
beside his black hip. This took his
fancy. for it was ornamented with
feathers and a fringe, and so the ape
hung about Mugambi's bona. waiting
an opportunity TO seize it either by
stealth or might.
Nor was il long before the oppor-
tunity came. Feeling safe within his
thOrny enclosure Mugambi was wont
10 stretch himself in the shade of his
shelter during the heat of the day. and
sleep in peaceful security until the de-
clining sun carried with ii the ener-
waiting temperature of midday.
Watching from above, Chulk saw the
black warrior stretched thus in the IN
consciousness of sleep one sultry af-
ternOon. He approached the sleeper
upon padded feet which gave forth no
sound. and with an uncanny wood
craft that rustled not leaf or grass
blade.
Pausing beside the man. the ape bent
over and examined his belongings. The
only detachable things were the knob
stick and the pouch. which had fallen
from the blacks shoulder as he rolled
in sleep.
Selling these two articles. Chulk re-
treated with haste. and every indica-
ton Of nervous terror, TO the safety OF
the tree from which he had dropped
and. still haunted By that indefnable
terror which the close proximity Of
man awakened in his breast, fed pre-
cipitately through the jungle.
II was some time after Mugambi
awoke that he missed the pouch. In

In the trampled turf beside him was
the faint impress of huge, manlike
feet. Mugambi raised his brows as the
truth dawned upon him. Hastily leav-
ing the bona he searched IN all direc-
tons about the enclosure for some
further sign Of the tell-taie spoor; but
the faint signs left By wary ape who
elects to travel through the trees elud-

cred somewhat novel proceeding. yet
that is exactly what Is being done in
Montreal at the present moment by the
Chinese. Members of the Wong fam

have formed themselves into the Wong

object OF which is to assist all Chi
nese bearing the name of Wong af-
ficted by sickness, accidents or re-
verses OF fortune. All the Wongs bear
some degree of relationship to one an,
other. and as the association already
has some 800 members and expects
more. it is probably one of the largest
families on record. The association
does not confine itself to helping those
in sickness or distress, but goes far

You shouldn't SPEAK Of your neigh

speak to them in such way. When
you say to a lady that her hair isn't
pretty that's making a personal re-
mark.
"Or," continued Porky. "if you told

very queer that would be personal. or
if you asked small boy how he got
so many freckles that, too, would be

Porky finished.

The term climacteric years was once
applied to certain years in mans life,
which were believed by the disciples
OF astrology TO have peculiar signiii-

kind were supposed to be the twenty

and the siXty-third year, which was
called by way of eminence the climac-

year was supposed 10 be fatal to most

The apes back YVES toward the lion.
His first intimation Of impending dan

roar which the charging lion could no

Scarce pausing for backward
glance, Taglat abandoned the uncon-
scious woman and fed in the opposite
direction from the horrid sound which
had broken In so unexpected ana ter

ears; but the warning had come TOO
late to save him, and the lion. in his
second bound, alighted full upon the
broad shoulders of the anthropold.

have trembled for the outcome.
Rolling over and over upon the turf

his savage victory cry.
For another moment he stood with
fierce eyes rowing to and fro about the
