Korak lay bleeding and unconscious
when Akut reached his side. The great
ape tore the heavy spears from his
flesh, licked the wounds and then car
ried his friend 20 the lofty shelter that
Korak had constructed for Meriem.
Further than this the brute could do
nothing. Nature must accomplish the
rest unaided or Korak must die.
He did not die. however. For days
he lay helpless with fever, while Akut
and the apes hunted close by that they
might protect him from such birds and
beasts rs might reach his lofty retreat.
Occasionally Akut brought him juicy
fruits which helped 60 Stake his thirst
and allay his fever. and little by little

was the excitement and hot was The
rage of he men when they learned
that the white devil had again entered
their homes, frightened their women
and stolen arrows and ornaments and
food.
Even their superstitous fear of this
weird creature who hunted with a
huge bull ape was overcome I'm their
desire 10 wreak vengeance upon him
and rid themselves for good and all OF
the menace of his presence in the
jungles
And so 1t was that score Of the
fleetest and most doughty warriors OF
the tribe set out In pursuit of Korak
and Akut but few minutes after
they had left the scene of the Killers
many depredations.
The little party Of warriors was led
by Kovudoo, the chief, middle aged
savage of exceptional cunning and
bravery. 1t was he who first came
within sight of the quarry which they
had followed for hours by the mys-
FERROUS methods Of their almost UNI
canny powers of observation, intuition
and even scent.
The white youth and the white maid
stood alone I'm the Jungle when they
were discovered by Kovudoo's band.
Akut had been made king of his ape
tribe, and Knrak, 10 Akuts sOrrOW,
had left him TO dwell with Mcricm in
the jungle. one of Koyudoo's men
leaned close TO the ear of his chief
Look /" he whispered and pointed
TO something that dangled at the girls

slaves In the village of the shcik my
brother made that thing for thc sheik's
little daughter She played with lt ale
ways and called it after my brother
whose name IS Gceka. just before we
escaped some one came and struck
down the sheik. stealing his daughter
away. If this is she the sheik Will pay
you well for her return"
Korak's arm had gone around the
shoulders of Merlem. And then from
behind him broke hideous bedlam of
savage war cries, ana u score of
shrieking blacks were upon them
Korak turned to give battle. Moriem
with her own light spear stood hy his
side. An avalanche OF barbed missiles
flew about them. One pierced Korak's
shoulder, another his leg, and he went
down.
Meriem was unscathed for the blacks

they rushed forward TO finish Korak
and make good the girls capture But

other point In the jungle the great
Akut and at his heels tho huge bulls

Snarling ana roaring, they rushed
upon the black warriors when they
saw the mischief they had already
wrought. kovudoo, realizing the dam
ger of coming 10 close quarters with
these mighty ape men, seized Meriem
and called upon his warriors TO retreat.
For time the apes followed them,

CHAPTER TX.
When ThIeves EaII Out.

SO the two Swedes approached the
village of Kovudoo with friendly words
upon their tongues and deep craft in
their hearts.
Their plans were we'll made There
was no mention of the white prisoner.
They chose TO pretend that they were
not aware that Kovudoo had 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, rs 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, recely-
ing i'm exchange such news rs KoyudOO
possessed. The palaver was long and
tresOme, rs 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 70 assure
himself of the speedy departure of his
guests.
It was Malbihn who, quite casually,
near the close Of their talk, mentioned
tho fact that the sheik was dead. Kov-

horse fell upon him. When his men

Kovudoo scratched his head. lie was
much disappointed. No sheik meant no
ransom for the white girl.

he said unexpectedly. IF you wish to
buy her she may be had cheap"
Malbihn shrugged. I'VE have trouble

burdening ourselves with an old,
broken down she hyena, and as for
paying for onc"-Malbihn snapped his
fingers.
"Shc is young" said Kovudoo, land

The Swedes laughed. "There are no
good looking white women In the jun
gle, KovutOo," said Jensen. "You
should be ashamed TO try TO make fun
of old friends"
Kovudoo sprang to his feet. "Come,"
he said, 81 will show YOU"

him, and rs they did so their eyes met,
and Malbihn slowly dropped one of
his lids in a sly wink. Together they

What effect have the plaudits OF
the crowd on an artist or a writer?
Do they make him careless, OF do
they inspire him to do better work?
Ray Long. editor-in chief OF the
International Magazine Company.
had asked himself these questions
concerning James oliver Curwood.
who in the last two years has won
a vast audience among book lovers
as he had long ago won millions OF
magazine readers.
81 was curious to see what effect
this popular acclaim would have on
Curwood," writes Mr.. Long in the
Bookman. 81 think / have come to
know him as well as one individual
can know another. We have been
on fishing trips in the hottest of
hot weather, and we have gone
80 degrees below zero. l have
visited him in his home. he has
been a visitor in mine. have
roughed it with him in the widest
sort of country, and have seen him
react to the civilization of the
big cities. And in each of these
varying circumstances he has been
true to his individual philosophy of
life. In other words. there is a fine
strain of sincerity in the makeup
of James Oliver Curwood that does
not vary with varying conditions.
"How then would he. and in con-
sequence. his work, be affected by
this clamorous public approval of
his novels? The answer, l believe.
may be found in this: Curwood
used to turn out as many as two
novels year in addition to
couple OF dozen of short stories.
They averaged up very well, too.
as far as writing goes; his work
indicated painstaking care. with
the exception of The Grizzly
Bear which many critics con-
slider his best work, The Rivers
End was the most effectively
written of his novels. But today
Curwood is writing one novel a
year and very few short stories.
And The Valley of Silent Men
shows distinct Improvement
not only as to narrative and dra-
matte value, but in construction.
development, characterization, and
cumulative force.
"As a matter Of fact. Curwood was
a little worried about the respon-
sibility Of being BEST best seller.
Then he decided that a writer could
still be a true artist and reach
vast public. He cited the enormous
following OF Dickens, stevenson.
Conan Doyle, Kipling, Dumas, Mark
Twain. whose stature is greater.
and not less, because they reach
the understanding of the masses.
"No. applause has not injured
Curwood. The Valley of Silent
Men, which has sold far beyond
the 100, ,OO-mark. is the sort OF
novel that any man writing today
could be proud to acknowledge. II
has popular appeal. yes. but 1t is
done with a skillfulness that Is
nothing short OF high artistry"
