THE SLAVE* MARKET.

(Copyright: 19141 BY Harold Mac-

Grath.)

3_1 *_" *'**‘_””' H-avlng decided upon the late ol Kathlyn the natives sct about 're- capturlng the wild elephant. It took the best pert' _of the morning. When this was accomplished the journey to Allahu was beg-un. But for the 111115 ol pence and quiet of the wilderness alld the consequent hardness of her flesh, K-athlyn would have suffered greatly. Half thc time she was com- pelled ‘to walk. There were no hou- dahs, and it was a` difficult feat to sit hiuck of the mshout. The rough skin of the elephant had the same cf- fect upon the calves ol her legs that sandpaper would huve ha-d. Some- times she stumbled and tell. und WHS rudely jerked to her feet. OnlY hh" day before they arrived was she re- lieved in any way; she was given li litter, and' in this manner she unter- ed the hateful city.

In giving her the litter the chief

mahout had been inspired by no ex- pression of pity; simply they desired her to appear fresh und attractive when they carried her into U10 Bl!"/0 mart. '

“He went into the city this morn-

“Come,"_ suid Bruce to the waiting

Brahmin, "we'll return together." He now felt no excitefmentgat all; it was as if he had been immersed in ice wuter. It was Kathlyn, not the leust doubt of it, bought and sold in the sluve mart. Misery, degrada- ltion. . .then he smiled. Hs knew Kathlyn Hare. If 'he did not come to

,her aid quickly she would be dead.

| Now, when Umballuh took hcr into his house, Katlilyn wus determined lto reveal hcr identity. She had pass- ed through the ordeals; she was, in lnw, a quecil with life and death in

iher hunds.
