TN EXBtOOR in the county Of Som
erset, in the year of grace 1861,
= dwelt the outlawed Doones, who.
huge and brutal, defed king and COM
mon, committed brazen robberles with
impunity, and took refuge after every
outrage In the well-nigh impregnable
Glen DOone. On the nearby farm of
Plover's Barrows dwelt John Rid, a
great limbed lad who had been sum-
moned home from boarding school in
his teens to learn that his father, a
wealthy farmer, had been slain in a
night raid by the Doones. John, blunt
and honest was kind to his mother
and his two sisters, did his share of
the farm work, and, as he grew to
manhood, learned to ride horse and
shoot a blunderbuss with unfailing
skill.
One day, while yet boy, his fishing
excursions in Bagworthy water led
him to discover an entrance to Glen
DoOne, so secret, so remote that the
robber band stationed no guard there,
never dreaming that living soul would
discover 1t. Following little cascade,
John emerged at last into a dell bloom
ing with primroses and beheld with
amazement a beautiful child of eight
with hair like black shower and eyes
full of pity and wonder. Her name
(pretty. like herself) was Lorna Doone
and John often had her in his thoughts
through the six years which followed.
He was twenty then and Lorna four
teen, and already John Ridd knew that
he loved her, that fate had decreed it
80 and that all the world was naught
when weighed against this girl.
To be found in Doone valley spelled
death for any man, but the thought of
Lorna eight and white, nimble, smooth
and elegant" filled John with yearning
and lured him to the hazard, Again
and again he sought the maid In the
primrose bower above the cascade and
then one afternoon in the splendor of
an April sunset John once more threw
down the gauntlet which love ever
casts at danger. To Lorna's tremu-
Ious, 'You are mad to come; they will
kill you If they find you here" John
smiled and thought her fairer than
the primroses amid which she stood.
She lived in constant fear, she con-
fessed, for the gigantic and passionate
Carver Doone openly paid her homage
and glewered with jealous eyes at any
man who burst cast glance at her.
II care naught for him or his
jealousy" cried John Ridd. II have
loved you long. as child, as comely
girl, and now as full grown maiden. ]
love you more than tongue can tell or
heart can hold In silence" Lorna
raised her glorious eyes and, flinging
her arms about his neck, cried, with
her heart on his, Darling, / shall
never be my own again. am yours
forever and forever" But before he
went she was In tears. "How dare
dream Of love? Something in my heart
tells me 1t can never be"
That fear Of his beloved's spurred
John to penetrate into Glen Doone one
night at the risk Of his life for word
Of Lorna. Once, guard leveled his
gun at him but went of cringing at
the thought that after all 80 huge q
form could be only that Of Carver
DOone.
It was a real danger which threat
ened Lorna, for old Sir Ensor Doone
head Of the robber crew, lay dying and
he alone had been her PROTECTORS

French recognize this and have made

cocoa also are sent out. Senegal ships
large quantities of kola or cola nuts.
These are eaten by the natives
throughout western Africa, and even
