The Quest of

By MACDA

CIIAPTKH XII. (Continued.)
Hut Dotty now tried her wiles on
ATeta. KmkIIsIi, her smattering of
French nnd a Imso maceration of Ger
man wore hurled at the black Klrl's
ears. Metn pretended to understand
nothing Hetty an Id to her. Tyoga was
absent, I,e Ma Ihetiroux apparently had
disappeared Into thin air. and Hetty
wns like a eaxed lioness. She was per
mitted to wander through the cnstle,
for such the edifice proved to be, but
with McU ever at her side.. The ar
chitecture of the castlo wns of non
descript type, and It was rudely fash
ioned of grnnito, moss and vine grown
and surrounded by parked R.irdons
filled with tropical foliage nnd llowers.
At the end of the gardens was a mias
matic river, thickly green and vile of
odor, filled with rnnk reptiles and nau
seous water plants. Heyond the river
stretched the desert, yellow and hard.
All this you could see from the upper
windows of the castle, farther than a
radios of fifty yards around the por
ticos Hetty nor her handmaiden was
not allowed to set foot. Within the
castle wan a small sand packed court
with an asthmatic fountain and heat
wrung plants. There Betty and Meta
sat and Betty read the few books that
were available, tried to teach Meta to
dance and learned dances of her In re
turn; tried, too, to learn Mcta's gut
tural speech and failed sadly In teach
ing English to Meta. Which, along
with certain other occurrences that
happened as time went on, made Betty
fairly certain that Meta already spoke
English, or else understood It so per
fectly that the girl was under Instruc
tlons to betray no familiarity with the
foreign tongue. A favorite game of
these two girls became a variation ot
lawn tennis, a native game, which they
played seated, hurling over a low net
celluloid balls of light weight and gay
colorings.
The evening of the third day Betty
grew overwhelmed with such an un
controllable loneliness that she could
not help crying. Meta, who had Just
brought her supper of cocoa nut, fresh
ly cut. mixed with pineapples nnd
guavas, a trussed pigeon, fig", dates,
and fell sobbing, too, nnd tried Inar
ticulately to find out what she want
ed. "Tyoga, Tyoga!" walled Betty. Her
nerves were at breaking point and the
Jackal who howled in the hills to the
north was crazing her with his yowl
ing, and she was sick, so sick, of It
all, of the mystery, the silence, the
loneliness. '
Meta hesitated and then ran away
like a deer. Kho came buck troubled
after an absence of a quarter ot an
hour or so, bearing In her hand a wax
tablet on which was written In an old
faahloncd slanting hand:
'Tyogu cannot come to you yet. Will
you be patient but a llttlo longer? She
Is vory busy. 8he will try and come
In a few mornings."
Butty took the tablet to bed with
her, telling herself that she was get
ting positively foolish.
Meta went along, caressing her us
much as she dared. Betty began to
lose sight of the fact that Metu's skin
was black. Bhe had already done this
with Tyoga. As Meta aided Betty to
disrobe the slave's hand caught Jn the
slender chain of the little gold locket
thut Betty wore always round her
throat, and snapped Its links asunder.
.The chain fell to the floor, and ns It
hit the tiling the locket flew open,
disclosing Larry Morris' face. Meta
picked It up, sighted the fuco, und
glrl-llke, scented the trouble. She
gazed Intently at Larry's counterfeit
presentment, studying It closely. Then
she nodded her approval and shook an
accusing linger at Betty, which moved
Betty to tears again.
Meta laughed, and with much sim
pering began to linger around within
the capacious flounces of her striped
kilt. With much perspiration, and
with what might have been blushes on
a fairer skin she finally produced an
odd llttlo hand, painstakingly carved
from Ivory with Inlaid nails and veins
of gold. She held this high for Betty
to gase at, then pointed alternately to
herself and I-arry Morris" picture with
such Illuminating pantomimes that
Betty Immediately estimated that tho
ivory hand was the troth-sign of Meta
and of a somewhere dusky-beloved!
Tyoga was three days in coming.
Then ahe was much distraught and
looked like a ragged edition of her
once buxom self. First she called
Meta aside and apoke with her long
and earnestly Betty would have vow
ed it was in irnitu. inen J yoga came
to Betty.
"You are In danger of your .life," she
said, simpiy. u are. we are
sorry for this, Miss Lancey, we had
not expected it. We had thought all
dangers were well guarded against.
that all precautions had been taken,
you and Meta must be left alone here
In the caBtle for weeks. But be not
ifrald. Besides the secret entrance
which none knows but Meta, there Is
no approach to the castle save from
that river on the south and to cross
that" she shuddered "to cross that U
to swallow death. I have promised
you a safe return to your peoplo, and I
go now to make that assurance doubly
lure. I.e Mulheureux sends you his
best wlBhes, and la sorry he cannot
come In person, and now, farewell!"
Tho negroes turned and left the two
girls together, Betty terror-stricken,
homesick, unnerved, Meta stolid, im
mobile as the castle Itself.
. r or several wceKs tna weather was
fine, .almost supernatural In Its beauty
and glow. Betty trolled the castle over
for hint or trace of any electrical ap
paratus, but none did she find. There
were dozens of chambers similar to the
one she occupied, what might be
throne room, a great dining hall,
mammoth kitchen, and ono big room
that possibly was an observatory, bu
which was most securely bolted, barred
and cemented shut. Even American
prowess dared not tamper with such
ioltdlty of masonry.
Meta and Betty had finally accom
pllshed a species of pigeon dialect that
line Crusoe and his man Friday per
mitiea them to signify their wants and
dislikes but prohibited the dangerous
conversation of confidences and per
tonal communications unto which
oih

women are so prone to fall! Betty bad
given up the Idea of the note In a bot
tle, tho sensational wireless message
and such like methods of communica
tion with tho loved ones at home, and
those of the newspaper fraternity in
particular ever slnco she cnunht sight
of the pigeons. She surreptitiously
carved this message. "Bettv Lancey,
Africa," on the wing of many a poor
suffering bird and vainly tried to shoo
It briskly nway In the direction that
he thought housed civilized people.
This carving was a work of perspiring
labor but It diverted Betty more suc
cessfully than anything else mlsht
have done. This occupation amused
nnd exhilarated because it revolved
around tho constantly diminishing
germ of Hope that so was near to dy
ing In Betty's bosom.
First of all, she had nothing to
scratch with but a hairpin. And with
tropical sun, and sea voyaging, hair
pins had become scarce enough to I"'
valuable. Second, Meta was always
watching, and thirdly, you never could
finish a bird ut one sitting und it was
terrible to try to catch any of the
birds, and worse yet to get hold twice
In succession of tho same bird you had
been working on last. Frequently then;
would be as many as three dozen birds,
half bedecked with Betty's carving,
hopping around at ono time. I'.etty
held the thought that if ono of these
birds should perchance be picked up It
might send peoplo within a continent
of finding her.
There was something romantic about
living in this desert and swamp-bound
castlo until the rains camo on. Then
It was more aggravating tliun anything
Betty could ever have imagined.
"Worse than any city editor I know
starting out to pluy wrecking crew
with an entire' office," she commented,
grimly.
For an African rain In the central
part of that shudowy continent Is not
a rainstorm as we know It. Tho lakes,
the rivers, the sea Itself seem to have
risen and to be descending In Hat lay
ers and sheets of the wettest wet that
ever mortal knew. Lightning In mora
varieties than Betty had dreamed
might ever have been patented broke
round the grim old castle, and the two
lonely young girls loved tho goat hard
er than ever.
Later they had an addition to their
family. A decrepit old lion, a beast so
mangy, worm eaten and toothless that
one longed In pity to kill him then and
there, crept In from the Jungle one
cold, rain-pelted night He frightened
tho two girls half to death at first
sight, then they both laughed heartily
at sight of his Infirmities nnd took him
in and made him royally welcome. Ho
expressed his gratlilcatlon in croupy
roars that caused Betty to long to feed
him lard und sugar, the sumo us her
mother had given her when sbo was a
croupy, wheezy kiddle.
But as a burglar alarm those roars
were the best of all Inventions, as
Betty expressed It In tho Journal sho
was pretending to keep.
"As a perfectly proper property lion,
City Editor Burton Is a peach."
Betty had named tho lion "City Edl-
or Burton" after the one being In the
Inquirer offlco whoso very voice was
calculated to Instantly remove tho
calp of any cub reporter whoever
harpened a pencil In a newspaper of-
llce.
Between City Editor Burton and tho
pigeons Betty found less opportunity
for worry than did Meta. Perhaps that
was because Tyoga had not told Betty
the same tale she had whispered thut
hot morning Into the awe-struck ears
of Meta. Tho black girl knew ot th
danger threatening, and fcurcd In si
lence.
So strong had grown tho attachment
between Meta and Betty that tho
young Nubian, who, truth to tell, spoke
English with ruro perfection, had much
udo to keep up their farce of pigeon
English and to refrain from outpour
ing her soul to the white skinned, but
now sadly-tanned Betty,
CHAPTER XIII.
Johnny Johnson and Larry Morrli
arrived In Algiers early In August. It
was hot and tho dust was equalled only
by the flies. Lurry spoke a little
French, Johnny nothing but English.
They were both soasick and both tired
of the task they had set themselves
upon. In Chicago darkest Africa hud
looked to them rather a small and un
important province, a shrunken Rhode
Island. In Algiers darkest Africa over
lapped every continent on the globe.
The apparent futility of the undertak
ing weighed them down.
Night fell. Then followed stars and
a subdued rumble of the city life for a
brief and restful Interlude. Later the
mirth- and ribaldry of the cafes Al
giers at her worst.
This was Africa. Bad enough on
the coast. But to ship for tho inland!
It was an Impossibility. They sought
forgetfulness In the cafes. Before ono
In particular the crowds were swarm
ing like files over molasses. Within,
a woman, she looked to be an Ameri
can at that, blonde and full-figured,
singing an atrocious French song with
an even more atrocious Maine accent.
Between verses she mingled the cake
walk. ' "Let's get out of this," said Larry.
"Jcnn. look at the negro over there.
Did you ever see such a Colossus In
your life?"
More than tho two newspaper men
were watching the negro In question.
He was nearly seven feet high, mug
nltlcent in his proportions, and dressed
In Immaculate white duck. His fea
tures were typically African, but lie
hud tbe bearing of ancient kings und
high intelligence lurked in his eyes,
und wus planted at the corners of 'lis
mouth und In the lines along his noa
tt 11a.
Standing in the corner close to thu
stage, he wus regarding tho pitiful
thing thut gamboled there with the
same Impassive pity that a man
watches a butcher kill a little squeul
ing pig. The pig is not worth much in
the asthetlc scale as life goes, hut
through him life may be sustained.
One pig more or less to feed the mass
es benefits the masses, and Is very
good for the pig. It lets him out of
being a pig, and provides for Ms trans
mogrlflcation Into another shape.
As the two Americans turned to look
at the negro he was leaving the cafe.
All eyes turned from the dancer to his
coal-black pulchritude. The dancer,
noting this waver of allegiance, lurch
ed forward and kicked Into tho air
with deft aim. One gaudy t satin
slipper flew directly through the crowd
nnd grazed the giant on the back, fail
ing within a foot or two of the two
Americans.
"That was a good shot!" ejaculated
Johrfny. Larry Morris was watching
the muscles working In the African's
face as he stooped to pick up the slip
per. "Because I'm black," he heard the
man mutter. In pure English. "Be
cause I'm black."
Straight through tho crowd strode
tho black man, nnd up to the stage,
overturning half of the tables In his
way as he went. At the footlights he
leaned over, held out the shoe and
beckoned for tho dancer to place her
foot within It. But the women, with
the' whimsicality of her sex, turned her
bead away and smote the African
twice across the cheek.
The t-lack man straightened himself
up like a steel liar, uncurved In a
white hot furnace. He took the shoo
and flung t at the dancer, lightly but
.-.ccurately. It struck Iter across her
painted mouth, nnd the steel plate on
the heel tore the gentle Bkln of her
full lip. The blood streamed down In
a tiny thread over her chin and drop
per on her white shoulders.
The habitues of the cafe could not
endure this treatment of their favorite.
Pandemonium was loosed. Bottles,
lamps,' glasses, even chairs, they hurl
ed at -the retreating figure of the Afri
can. He was cut and bruised In
dozen places ai.d almost overcome, for
the strength of a Hercules could not
have resisted such onslaughts. John
son and Morris had gone out of the
door when the riot began, and were
turning down the street when the
black burst out, winded, panting, and
closely pursued.
By t'.io curb stood an automobile
a grout red touring car; it belonged '1
Httlvelcr, the Associated Press man at
Algiers. A w;-ak. dissipated little fel
low, Sniveler was at that moment th-
foremost In consoling the dancer.
Larry Morris thought quickly. He
knew Sulvrler well; they had worked
together In the States, and the negro
Interested him.
"Crank her, Johnny," he cried, point
lug to the automobile, and whllo John
ny cranked the machine Morris hus
tied the blacn within the car, threw
from his perch t!ie dazed chauffeur and
in three minutes the black, Larry Mor
ris and Johnson, In Sulveler's car, were
headed for the desert with the mcb
bowling hyena-like behind them.
"All rl5fh.t, old fellow; we'll help
you," Larry had whispered In the
black's ear as he hurried htm towards
the motor. Larry had had to do It, for
downed as he was, the black Instantly
made a motion of resistance toward
anything that smacked of captivity,

STUNTS OF THE COWBOY.
aNtmllun hip ( rucking nnd I.aeeft
Tlimvilnjtf In America.
The stock whip in the skillful hands
of the Australian Is not only an article
of the greatest utility, but also a
formidable weapon. Owing to its great
length the lash varies from twelve to
thirty ,feet and the shortness of the
butt, which measures only eighteen
Inches, It la an extremely difficult and
awkward thing to wield, and the be
ginner Is apt.' to hurt himself If he
does not exercise care when prac
ticing. A well-trained stockman, however,
can hit ,a cent every time at ten
paces' distance, and with the dreaded
lash In his hand, cracking like pistol
shots, can keep a mob of wild cattle
In check. If used with full force it
will cut through skin and flesh like
a knife, says Wids World, but unless
a beast shows distinct vice the stock
man ukcs it more for the purpose of
inatilling fear than of causing pain.
If. can also bo used as a bolas a
Patagonlan form of tho lasso and an
adept can catch and hold a beast by
causing the lash to curl around its
legs.
The skill of tho Australian with the
stock whip is more than equaled by
American cowboys with the lasso. One
of the guild by the name of Welch has
a pretty trick called the crinoline, in
which the rope is kept whirling around
the body In concentric rings like a
huge and very animated hoopsklrt.
The trick looks ridiculously easy, but
the beginner will find that, like many
simple-looking feats, It cannot be
learned in a day; he will also prob
ably discover that a 111 anil a rope Is
painfully hard when It comes in con
tact with the head.
Mr. Welch will undertake to throw
this lasso around any portion of a
horse or Its rider as he passes at a
gallop, and the skillful manner in
which he gets his rope about a horse's
legs as the animal lifts them from
the ground for an instant, in the act
of cantering, is nothing short of mar
velous. He can also completely tie a
man up from a distance of thirty feet
by throwing a succession of half
hitches over him with astonishing ac
curacy. Millet and "The Anarelae."
It was only after long years ol
struggle and dire poverty, through
which Millet was consoled and sup
ported by his wife, that the peasant
painter was able to take the three
roomed cottage at Barblzon and "try
to do something really good." It was
then that he began to paint that most
beautiful "poem of poverty," "The An
gelus," which Is to-day one of the
most va'uable pictures In tho world.
Again aid ogaln he threw aside tha
picture in Ut?nalr of ever finishing it
to his satisfaction, and as often his
wife replaced it on the easel and In
duced him to continue.
On one occasion he was so Incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized a knife and would
have destroyed tho canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not hit
wife fortunately seized hU hand and
Induced him to give the picture an
other trial. Thus It was that at last
"Tho Angelus" found a place on tha
wall of the Louvre. The success It
won encouraged Millet to paint many
more pictures and thus place himself
among the Immortals In art.
He loves his country best waa

If the world was created (1,000 years
ago and the story ot the expulsion
from Eden Is not a myth, confirma
tory evidence of that fact will be
found by old line Bible people in some
of tho things recently unearthed In
Nubia. From very recent research. It
has been established that disease en
tered the world In the form of gout
and tuberculosis not less than 6,000
years ar,o cither entered It at that
time or had been there for au Indeter
minable t line previously.
Nearly sixty centuries have rolled
away since tho Nubians lived In the
Valley of the Nile nnd were victims of
the Intestinal concretions which seem
to be the cause of appendicitis. For
tunately for archaeological science, the
diggers took with them an anatomist
or two, who knew a thing or so about
their business, and turned over to their
Inspection the bodies that wero un
earthed front this ancient civilization
which has been lying burled under the
wash and sands of the Nile from a
time which merges Into the vanishing
point of history. In these excavations
were found evidences of a civilization
from a date preceding the earliest
known dynasties of Egyptian klng3
down to the Byzantine age. These peo
ple seem to hnve lived undisturbed In
the possession of their fertile fields
and their well-built towns, probably
under the protection of the kings of
Egypt. In fact, a careful examination
of their head3 and faces showed that
they were In reality Egyptians them
selves. They did not belong to the
aristocracy, but were rather the hum
ble tillers of the soil the farmers of
that prehistoric time. They had a
knowledge of copper, but they had not
yet progressed sufficiently far In the
metallic arts lu the period previous
to say 1S00 B. C -to use that metal
for Instruments. The only utility they
could find for copper was Its use as
ornaments for the person. For this
purpose It was manufactured and sold
REVIVAL OF CHINA PAINTING.
.mm
wm
A FASCINATING OCCUPATION FOR GIRLS.
There Is a distinct revival In china painting among young girls in the
east, and In addition to becoming expert in the art it is considered quite an
essential part of the training to make a study of the best examples of old
china to be found in museums and elsewhere, and from them gather Inspira
tion for the decoration ot modern pieces.
In every department of art or industrial training nowadays the "home"
Idea 13 made prominent. Girls are learning domestic economy and domestic
science, and everywhere the predominant thought is the fitting of girls for
the domestic sld of life, and it may be because of this wave of fireside sen
timent 'that tho decoration of table ware la so deservedly popular.
To quote one of the leading instructors, "There Is, to my mind," said
she, "nothing more closely allied to domestic life than the hand decorating
ot china. It gives a girl a love for beautiful things for the home table and
opens her eyea to the nicety of table appointments, and we all know that a
well appointed table is usually the Index to a successfully managed house
hold. "To make collections of any sort is an admirable thing, but the collect
ing of rare china for girls is particularly so, for it not only gives the col
lector a special Interest In life, but she can never afterward pass by a bit
of fine china, porcelain or pottery but she will glean enjoyment )t'rom It.
"The entire outfit, colors, brushes, oils and palette knives can be pur
chased for between $3.00 and $4.00, perhaps more, perhaps less. A course of
ten lessons should make the average girl quite Independent of a teacher, ex
cept, of course, when It came to some new and vexing problem; then she
would doubtless require the advice of an instructor. In this art. as others,
there is a great difference in girls, tor some are quick with their hands
while others are clumsy."

bodily characters of these people. The
anatomists who made the examina
tions declared that a new type of man
had been Imported among tho people
of the lower Nile nnd had mixed his
blood with that of the people ho found
there before him. The secret of the
perfect preservation of bodies for six
ty centuries lies In the fact that the
people, probubly not able to afford the
methods of embalming that were prac
ticed by the "swell" Egyptians, Just
took their dead and thoroughly salted
the bodies.
One disease which seemed to have
been prevalent to an extraordinary de
gree was rheumatic gout. Thousands
of these people had suffered from gout
and from rheumatism. Graves were
found containing fifteen or twenty
bodies, all members of the same fami
ly, and several generations of the same
family. The anatomists were thereby
enabled to trace peculiar anatomical
resemblances from father to son, as
well as evidences of transmitted dis
ease. That this marvelous method of pre
serving the dead is not practicable
generally to day Is due to the fact that
one of the essential of the success of
the method Is the peculiarly dry at
mosphere of Egypt and the unlimited
quantities of perfectly dry sand in
which to bury the bodies after they
have been treated with the salt or the
solution of salt which, tho ancient Nu
bians used.

gans shall have room to do their work.
Forbidden by t'ut'le Sara.
Fiercest of all the wild orgies of the
aborigines of North America Is the
fiesta which culminates in the fire
dance of the Saboba Indians, a small
tribe living close to the Sierra Mad re
range of mountains, which walls off
the seacoast of California from the
desert.
Up to last year, when the Indian
bureau of the United States govern
ment finally forbade the holding of
these fiestas, the Sabobas had gathered
every year at the base of old Mount
San Jacinto to sing, dance and gam
ble, and finally to throw themselves
Into a pit of fiery coals, roll over and
over on the burning bed, and then
dance with bare feet on the red hot
floor of the pit.
l.lent. Shacklrton na Talker.
People whom Lieutenant Shackleton
casually meets must be a trial to him
with their trivial questions, but he has
a merry wit. He was explaining how
the penguins set up nest keeping. Mr.
Penguin would feed his wife as sho
sat on the eggs. He brought her
prawns and the like, carrying them in
his gullet into which she dipped her
beak. "Are the birds monogamlc?"
asked the naturalist present. "That
we could not determine," replied the
Great Iceman. "We frequently saw
a male penguin feed another bird's
wife, but we could not say whether his
motives were absolutely disinter
ested."
ntrria ronf rnrt Prleone.
Among the bornl i'.ls of Southern Asia
the Malayan Island nnd Central nnd
Southern Africa most of the specie
have a curious hnbit of hatching their
toting In the walled up hollow c.f the
tree chosen for the nest, says the
entitle American. Tho birds have Im
mense bills nnd horny crests.
The mother bird Is wnlled tip by her
mate and remains Imprisoned until the
eggs nre hatched, nnd In some sjiecies
until the youngs birds nre able to fly.
Meanwhile tlie mother has become tem
porarily Incapable of flight, as she has
moulted, or at least shed nil her wing
feathers during her captivity. But the
male Is Indefatigable In providing for
his family, and Is wild to work so hard
that he Is reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end of the brooding Pcason.
According to tho theory of ninny na
tives the female Is Imprisoned to pre
vent her neglecting her duty of brood
ing, and If she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window of her cell nnd abandons her
to n painful death by suffocation.
The true story, perhaps. Is this: The
female walls herself In so thnt she can
not fall from tbe nest niter losing her
feathers, and nlso to protect herself
from enemies. This version Is less
poetical than the other, but It Is prob
ably nearer the truth. It Is supported
by statement that the female Ilbeiiifs
herself as soon as the young birds ore
well grown, ho thnt her prison Is less
formidable than It appears.

He knew nothing of tides and he did

an extra-big wave washed over his

A GOOD CHANGE
A Chance ot Food Works Wonders,
The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To ohango
the food Is the first duty of every per
son that is ill, particularly from stom
ach and nervous troubles. As an il
lustration: A lady in Mo. has, with
her husband, been brought around to
health again by leaving off coffee and
some articles of food that did not
agree with them. They began using
Postura and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
"For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until I waa very
111 most of the time. About four years
ago 1 icii on couec ana negan taking
Postum. My stomach and bowels im
proved right along, but I was so re
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
"Then I changed my food and be
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two prin
cipally for about four months. Day
by day I gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble bas en
tirely disappeared and 1 feel that I
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
"Husband Is 73 years old nnd he was
troubled, for a long time, with occa
sional cramps, and slept badly. Final
ly, I prevailed upon hlr.i to leave off
coffee and take Postum. lie had stood
out for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and haa
never gone back to coffee.
"I have a brother In California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be
cause they bave had such good results
from it."
