ANDREA AND WHITE MAN GO ON HUNTING TRIP.
Andrea Pellor, handsome daughter of Lord Pellor, Impecunious aristocrat,
is doomed to marry an itiiterate but wealthy middle-aged diamond mine owner
She disconsolately wanders from her holel In South Africa and discovers an
aviator about to fly from the beach. Impulsively, of course Imagining that the
trip will be merely a pleasant excursion, and a welcome relief from thoughts
of her loveless marriage, she begs to be taken for a flight, although she does
not know him. He somewhat unwillingly agrees, and they start. When she
realizes her unknown aviator Is not going back Andrea In desperation tries to
choke him with one of her stockings. He thwarts her and they sail on Into
the very heart of Africa. Landing In an immense craal, Andrea finds the
natives all bow In worship to her mysterious companion. She' is given a slave
boy. “Bathtub.** and the White Man sets about building a hut for her. Andrea
Is given a glimpse of the home which Is to be hers, and wonders at Its com
pleteness. White Man Invites her to dinner that evening, and in spite of the
fact that he has refused to take her back to civilisation Andrea accepts his
invitatlbn. but he continues deaf tq her pleading that he reetore her to her

j beeifte, male tlmi female, hufVo»ms of
the plains, Mill pitifully Rroleaque,
their horse-Uke tails truiliutf like dis
couraged funeral plumes.
“Oh, White Man,” irnsped Andrea,
Covering her eyes, “oh, M’sungo!”
And then it came again, four loads
this, time, hut every one ns big- as a
horSe. Eight men strained under eaeli
carcass of eland, largest and gentlest
of all the hundred varieties of ; ante
lope that swarm over the length and
breadth of Africa.
Andrea arose, but her knees , trem
bled so that she quickly sat down In
one of the wicker chairs, clutching its
arms with hands gone white as though
all the blood In her body bad hidden
in shame. Then came-the white man,
followed by gunbearers/ water-boy and
trackers. His face and his bare arras
were streaked with sweat and dust.
His shirt and trousers clung to him In
great .dark blots< of moisture. Jllp
nodded to Andrea as he made straight
for his hut.
Suddenly her strength come back
to her. She sprang up and rushed to
cut him off. * } You are a murderer,**
she gasped as she faced him.
The man stopped In his tracks and
“And that is why I must stay,** Mid
Andrea.
“No,” said the ninn rending fier fare.
“If 1 could drop yen buck tomorrow
there on the beach where I found you.
I would do it.”
She felt a definite surge of pleasure,
out of all proportion to the occasion.
“Thank yon,” she whispered, and then
Hushed-ht a sudden wonder as to the
exact nature of a feeling of gladness
over the fact that she was not called
upon then and there to decide whether Lsinking within her, “You don’t think

been in days.
He spoke to the black In dialect,
whereupon he grasped a single handle
of the trunk, and with one smooth
movement passed it over ids shoulder
rigid side up to the crown of his head.
He then marched with it into Andrea’s
cal a. y l
She sprang up. “Why!” she ex
claimed and then added, her heart
in her heart she wished to go or stay.
“But I can’t,” continued the man.
“I can’t leave my people or my work
for two weeks; I dare not trust you
to a native escort.” He drew away
from the table that he might cross his
knees, took a cigar and lit it.
“You’ve eaten nothing,” said Andrea.
“I’m too tired to eat just now,” he
answered.
Presently she arose. “I’m tired, too,
White Man,” she lied. “May I leave
you?”
He gave her an almost grateful
glance, arose and lifted one side of
the net for her to pass. She went to
her room to read, but an hour later,
when she glanced out, surprised to
that’s one of mine, do you? Because
it isn’t.”
She watched to see hla face fall, bit
It didn’t. From his pocket he took a
bunch of keys, quickly slipped one
from the ring and handed It .0 her.
“Please open the trunk. It’s certainly
yours, ns is all that it contains.’’ He
turned from her and added, “By the
way, I’m dining in khuki tonight.**.
As Andrea walked slowly to her
room, clutching the key tightly, she
confessed to herself that she was being
eaten alive by curiosity. “If only,**
she breathed, “there should happen to
be one whole pair of stockings!”
Half an hour later, when every lait

Bathtub’s call to breakfast.
Neither white man nor black was in
evidence, hut even so the day passed
. swiftly, so many were the new features
of the eraal’s changing scene. She
chose a book at random; had her ham
mock-chair drugged into the shade of
j the dining tree and stretched out to
her first lesson in Jazy content. Grad
ually she grew drowsy with the heat,
but not so sleepy that she failed to
hear from away off the far-carrying
report, six times repeated, of a high-
powered rifle.
Bathtub, squatted near by, looked
up with a beatific smile. “Masher,” he
stated. — -
It was two hours later when the
incident was repented in evefy detail
save that the shots came from still
farther away; and about three hours
after, once more the thing happened.
Bathtub ^rolled his eyes and hugged
himself in gormandizing anticipation
as he breathed the word, “Master!”
Andrea was vaguely interested until

’He turned to lend the way baek to
the craal and, oned there, promptly
disappeared into his hut. Half an hour
later Andrea was nervously moving
about her room, wondering whether to
put on her frock or not, when Bathtub
arrived with a message. Did she wish
to dine alone or with M’suugo?
“Tell your master,” she answered,
“that I will dine with him with pleas
ured’
, During the meal, the white man
talked, giving her listlessly certain ex
planatory information. “Eight months
ago,” he said, “I struck this country.
It was desolation. In spite of the big
^ river, which is quite nearby, the whole
district - was in famine. I passed
through ruined, kraal after ruined
kraal, and in some of them dead bpdies
lay about, too dried out In life even
to rot. The game swarmed as it does
only fh dry seasons, and thrived.”
Andrea held Imth bands out toward
him us though to atop him. “Don’t—
she cried, “don’t think I haven't un

“Upon my word^** remarked the man
dryly, "you’re getting alocerel"*
She sank back In her chair with a

CHAPTER V.
The seven day* that followed were
much as the first; when the white man
was not shooting for the pot he was
away Overseeing his aruty~of lalmrers.
He ate hut twice a day, at half past
five in the morning, and twelve hours
thereafter. To the latter meal Andrea
was invariably and formally invited.
At each successive invitation she
hesitated a little longer before accept

stand why, but the surprising thing
was-that the man seemed to know just
