“And I yoo,” breuthed M’sungo. He
clipped to his knees, took both her
hands in his and looked Into her eyes
aa though he could never take his fill
of the sanity that had come back to
them.
.“Andrea Pellor “ he went on, “before

to tell you that you and I can never

that no man. however mean or tar

will still have to do. without feeling
the pangs of a love that la rooted out*

“Now you’re trying to pull down the
star to which I’ve hitched my personal
wagon," said M’sungo with his slow
smile. “Well.” he continued, “take It,
handle it, hut let it go again when
you’re through with It, because I need

leaned forward. She stared at him
wlile-eyed and flushed of cheek. “Are

"Tea," said Andrea. "Go on."
"Another thing that la written In
the book of groat truths, which,' by the
way, la the primer of the citizen* of
the world," Continued Trevor, “la the
axiom that success begins at the point
where a man stops asking for favors
and starts giving them. You’ll get the
connection when I remlnd-^ybtr that
the possessor of a million of anything
can always give favors.”
“A whole cotillion," agreed Andrea.
“Having a million, I shall have no
difficulty in building a railroad across
Africa with other people’s money, and
having built one, I shall build another
and then another. To put it in a nut
shell, I might say that from now on
all my prayers will be stated In terms
of miley of roadbed—what you English
call permanent way. Other and greater
men have built empires; I should like
to knit them together."
“When are you golr\g to start?’
asked Andrea.
“I’ve started already," answered
Trevor. “I’ve got *my stake and u
steamer besides; that’y pure velvet
now*a-days."
“I’ll tell you when you really
started." said Andrea. “The moment
you coQD« k cted your Inner flame w(th
the star of Transport."
"You’m coming oo." said Trevor,
ptessed at b**r remembering.
“And why." said Andrea, "have yon

It mine again, a ghout of a sound that
gradually assumed substance and
rhythmic form until after fire long
minutes It was recognizable aa the
radenced rumble of an African river
chantey.
Instantly Trevor was on his ft »t. He
issued orders to ttathtuh, who Imme
diately began to clear the taht» and
eliminate every Item of furniture that
would Indicate a dual occupancy of the
white portion of the camp. They had
dressed that night for dinner, not as a
celebration or any special event, but
because they were both bored with
too much time on their hands. Trevor
now excused himself to Andrea and
withdrew to his room. In a few min
utes he reappeared garbed in his
roughest khaki shirt and trousers. His
face was grave as he advanced on
Andrea with a nod toward her hut.
“MacCloster will be here in half an
hour," he stated. “I ask you to go to
your room, close and bar both doors
and stay there until I call you.”
Without waiting for her comment,
he turned and left her. She sat on,
with narrowed eyes, until she hod fin
ished her cigarette, and then, with a
glance around to see If Trevor were
watching, the arose and walked slowly
across the open court of the craal. In
her breast was a great rebel lino at

Andrea opened her own. Just a
crack, and looked out. In the very
center of the circular court squatted in
a ring a dozen half-naked boat-boya.
Their torsos were still glistening in
the moonlight from the sweat of their
labor. They all seemed dull of face
hut mighty of muscle. None, not one,
of Trevor’s people was In sight—a
very surprising fact, for the African
loves u gossip with the stranger with*
in his walls. ^
There was quite a long silence; then
came the muffled tones of the phono
graph, rising, bell-like thrbugh the
night in a climbing aria from “Faust."
Suddenly the sound wavered, swerved
and fell to a wrangling of frightened
notes as though some one had swept 1
the instrument from Its balance. A j
second later there was the thud of a
heavy boot on wood, Trevor’s door
flew open and the still walling phono
graph was hurled as from a catapult
fifteen feet through the air. It fell to
the hard-beaten ground of the patio
with a terrific splintering crash, rolled
over op one side and whs still. An
drea’s eyea had been watching it, fas
cinated; now they swerved and stop
ped almost with a dick of the sudden
ly arrested muscles.
Between her and the door of Tre
vor's hut stood the towering figure of

had spoken a passage here and there
from the hook of his own life and now
she demanded the volume from cover

In a New England country town, of
scrapes in school and of. the disaster
in college that had turned him from
the narrow road of specialization in the
diseases of the nose and ear to that
broad highway which is trod lightly
and aimlessly by stray dogs and citi
zens of the world.
“You would have made a great phy
sician," said Andrea, almost regret
fully.
“Perhaps,” he replied. "But I
wouldn't have saved myself. I would
never have found myself. I would
bave been one of those unconscious
mortals who spend their lives In a
group picture. I would never have

sympathies that even in this he under
stood her. It was not that she was
perverse, but that her pride demamb'd'
a constant test of his loyalty to her
other self—that internal self that had
lain hared, revealed and helpless in
his arms.
About those things which might have
aroused a legitimate curiosity, she
asked few questions. Without a word
of inquiry she saw him despatch twelvq
picked men on some mysterious mis
sion whose Intricacies and Importance
necessitated a preliminary palaver of
an hour’s duration. Equally silent, she
watched his detailed preparations of
a well-appointed safari. Tents were
brushed and set to air; cots and mat
tresses put out for a sun-bath; provi
sions of all sorls packed in one-load
cases; water boiled, filtered and hung
la canvas coolers. Only a few days
before, Just such signs as these had
made her heart heavy with unanswer
able questionings, but her illness had
changed all that. The successive mo

a change that was like a thunder-clap:
“Send It up, you dunghill bantuiu!
Why tha h-^— haven’t you sent my

Andrea pressed her hands, her face
and her whole body against the door.
She was trembling slightly, but she
was not frightened; her Intelligence
was too busy. It had leaped to an un
derstanding of Trevor’s part in what
was going on outside. She forgot that
she had ever thought it a mere battle
of tongues. She could Imagine this
man, MacCloster, as a mountain of
brawn and sinew against which Tre
vor was deliberately opposing all the
moral weight of the old fighting slo
gan, “Bully a bully 1"
More than that; she could now feel
that the suppressed hatred she~had
guessed at their words had come bold
ly Jnto the open and that It was in a
sense labored and forced only because
its Intensity was beyond actual ex
pression. These men were 8tripj>ed
