Give me the f0|' sale i“ lake'a"d b}/ price of a meal and you can have it.” i Bryce Hulbert regarded the speaker | carelessly. He was of the genus | tramp—ragged, frowsy, dissolute look- | ing. He held in his hand a medal, sou- i venir or watch charm, oblong, cen- !tered with an undecipherable mono- gram apparently embracing oriental | symbots. It was a bluish stone, | rimmed with copper. At a glance Hul- | bert saw that it was worthless except to its original owner. | “Where did you get it,” he inquired. “Just found it. Say, I'm hungry—" g Hulbert passed the man a small coin. He was poor himself, but it was | his way to help the needy clear down the line. The man bolted away for the nearest gin shop. Hulbert stood under a street lamp turning over and | over the queer medallion. He was a dreamer and idle and unemployed Just now and had time to speculate. He built up a dream of Arabian skies, and mystic sheiks, and secret leagues in his mind. There was a small ring | imbedded in the medallion. He affixed | it to his watch chain, a chain leaving only a pawnbroker's check at its pocket end. i “A reckless disburser of charity,” he sald grimly to himself, as he reflected | upon the small store of cash from which he had drawn. “I wonder what I will do when the last coin {s gone?” He had been in London for a month, | | A rich New Yorker had employed him ~as his private secretary, had died a | month after his arrival abroad and Hul- | They Kept Regarding Him and Whis- pering Together. | bert found himself stranded.

They were tawny low browed fellows, suggesting levantine origin. They kept regarding him and | whispering together in a cautious and mysterious manner. Just as Hulbert arose to leave the place one of them | approached him. He looked Hulbert squarely in the eye, with a natural mo- tion slightly drew back his coat, and there on the lapel of his vest there showed the prototype of the trinket that Hulbert wore at his watth chaln. | ' “You are ready,” he sald simply | Hulbert bowed.

One of his com: | panions got up on the seat outsids‘ with the driver, giving the latter a | direction. } After a devious route, leading into the foreign quarter of London, the ! vehicle halted. It was within a dark and lonely court. “You may as well remain within the carriage,” spoke Hulbert's companion. “We will bring the woman down. She s quiet,” and he placed a peculiar emphasis on this word, “as agreed. ! Once aboard the ship, she will be rea- \ sonable.

She was placed within the vehicie. “You will make no miss on the | plans,” spoke the man to Hulbert. “All {8 arranged, is it not," replied Hulbert tersely. Then he was some- what disturbed, for the other man got into the carriage beside him, after naming a dock on the Thames to the driver. Hulbert had hastily formed a plan | regarding what he would do as to the girl. The evident intention of the for- eigner to remain with him set awry his project. After they had proceeded about half a mile he spoke to the man, signaling the driver to stop. “Go get me a dozen cigars at the drug store we just passed,” he di- words, “drive fast, stop for nothing!" Hulbert reached his own boarding house. He dismissed the puzzled and wondering hackman. Then he car- ried the girl up to his room, summoned the landlady and sent for a doctor. It was nearly midnight when the physician succecded in arousing the girl from her deep torpor. For three hours thereafter she, the landlady and Hulbert, formed a trio engaged in ex- planations.

Two lions had been located in some scrubs, and 20 Masal warrfors, with spears, were ready to attack. The lioness, however, escaped, and the male llon, after ap- pearing for a moment, bolted Into a dried river bed and refused to budge. “Simba,” states Mr. Keaton, “darted into the donga, and within a few sec- onds we heard a tremendous roar that geemed to shake the ground, and the bushes within 12 yards of us were vio- lently agitated.
