There he goes n'ow. lie looks s if lie were dIay-dreamin:g, doesn't he?" And rea nodded. "Well, he isn't," continued M'sungo. "By now lie ots reini the whole story. ife knows hiw m1any females made this miess of a trail and how many yilung. 11 knows when they came and when they went.

If we didn't have the three old hunters we would go up tile baik of the river until we struck it, but we don't have to because they found it by chance this morning at the first streak of dawn." While lie talked, the tracker stud led, the three wizened sat aloof, taking snuff. Now, at a nod from M'sungo, they arose and proceeded swiftly along the margin of the big trees. Presently they swerved to the left and plunged through undergrowth to a well-inarkuA path. In the fine dust of that runway Andrea satw the iden tical ionster spoor that ithe old black hnd drawn with his finger on the groull besidehr breakfast table.

She stood in helmet, khaki shirt and breeches, puttes and tight. ly laced boots-an adorable study in brown.

His naked body, exposed to the mnereiless sun, .itreamed with sweat. Andrea's shoulders ached from holding her aris before her face to ward off the interminably encroaching vines and braniches that seemed to op pose the way, but Invariably parted at h2er touclh.
