principle of professional and occupational

principle win be used to choose among
groups of men otherwise equally desirable

The principle of geographical distribu-

process and will so operate that for the
time being admission to Dartmouth VIII

cants who are residents of the state of

west of the Mississippi river. or residents
of districts south of the Potomac and

CHAPTER XIV.
a T.4 -. D-ANn

Hanson and his boy had ridden di-
rectly TO the clearing. 1t was already
dark when they arrived. Leaving the
boy there, Hanson rode to the edge OF
the plain. leading the boys horse.
There he waited. II was nine o'clock
before he saw solitary figure gallop-
ing toward him from the direction OF
the bungalow. A few moments later
Meriem drew in her mount beside him.
She was nervous and flushed.
When she recognized Hanson she
drew back, startled.
"Mr. Baynes' horse fell on him and
sprained his ankle Hanson FASTENED
TO explain. Gle couldn't very well
come, SO he sent me to meet you and
bring you TO camp"

both thought he'd better lie up tonight
and rest, for he'll have plenty hard
riding in the next few weeks"
YES" agreed the girl.
Hanson swung his pony about, and
Merlem followed him. They rode north
along the edge of the jungle for n mile
and then turned straight into 1t toward
the west. Meriem, following, paid lit
tie attention To directions. She did not
know exactly where Hanson's camp
lay, and so she did not guess that he
was not leading her toward 1t.
All night they rode straight toward
the west. When morning came Han
son permitted q short halt for break
fast, which he had provided in we'll
filed saddlebags before leaving his
camp. Then they pushed on again,
nor did they halt second time until,
in the heat of the day, he stopped and
motloned the girl to dsmount.

take a laden safarl. 1t may not be
until tomorrow that Wen catch up
with them"
But, though they Travelled part of the
night and all the following day, no
sign OF the safari appeared ahead of
them. Merlem, an adept in jungle
craft, knew that none hal passed ahead
OF them for many days. Occasionally
she saw indications Of an old spoor-
n very old spoor-of many men. For
the most part they followed this we'll
marked trail along elephant paths and
through parklike groves. 1t was an
ideal trail for rapid travelling.
Meriem at last became suspicious.
Gradually the attitude of the man at
Ter side had begun to change. Often
she surprised him devouring her with
ais eyes.
Steadily the former sensation Of pre-
vious acquaintanceship urged itself
upon her. Somewhere, some time be-
fore she had known this man. II was
evident that he had not shaved for
several days. A blond stubble had
