"Tlie white man Is cleverer than a

Snake of the Butlana people stand up

After that the girl Malwa stood np,

several of his head councilors swear by

out the war of vengeance to the bitter

.J???,"*'? Were 8ent out- and every |
?vallable man of the Butlana tribe was
ordered up to "a great dance."
The country was small, and by the
evening of the second day some twelve
hundred aud fifty men were assembled.
At dawn of the following day. the
fourth from the departure of the her
alds. the main Impi started under the
command of Nala himself, who. know,
ng that his life and chieftainship hung
upon the issue of the struggle, wisely
determined to be present to direct It
With him went Maiwa. who was to
ffulde them up the secret path.
Of course we had to give them two
days start, as they had more than a
hundred miles of rough country to pass,
Including the crossing of the great
mountain range which rap north and
?outb, for it was necessary that the
?mpi should make a wide detour in
order to escape detection.
At length, however, at dawn on the
? xth day, I took the road, accompanied
oy my most unwilling bearers, who did
?i? at a" ,,ke the Idea of thus putting
their head6 into the lion's mouth.
Indeed. It was only the fear of Nala's
?pears, together with a vague confi
dence In myself, that induced them to
accept the adventure.
With me also were about two hun
dred Butianas. all armed with guns of
various kinds, for many of these people
tiad guns, though they were not very
proficient in the use df them.
But they carried no shield and wore
no head dress or armlets; indeed every

With our party went also a sister" or
Maiwa, though by a different mother
who tPonKly resembled her in face

personate the runaway wife.

The Matuku soldiers had left their

I descended the gully into which poor

At any rate, I never saw or heard
any more of him.
Once in Wambe's country we adopted
? very cimcumspect method of pro
ceeding. 1 u
About flfty men marched ahead, In
loose order, to guard against surprise.
While us many more followed behind.
a hlll l", hundred were gathered in
a bunch between, and in the centre of
these men I marched, together with the
g.il who was personating Maiwa, and
?" my bearers.
We were disarmed, and some of mv
men were tied together, to show that
we were prisoners, while the Klrl had

LBc ?,il.i put me in the -Thing that
Mted vther words, the lion trap
and leave rue there to die like a Jackal
caught by the leg.
I made no answer to this, though my
wrath was great, but pretended to
look frightened.
Indeed, th^re was not much pretense
about it? I was frightened.
I could not conceal from myself that
ours was a most hazardous enterprise,
and that it was very possible that I
might make acquaintance with that
Hon trap before I was many days older.
Howaver, it was quite impossible to
desert poor Every in his misfortune, so
I had to go on and trust to Providence,
as I have so often had to do before and
Blnce.
And now a fresh difficulty arose.
Wauibe's soldiers insisted upou ac
companying us, and what is more, did
all they could to urge \is forward. .as
they were naturally anxious to set to
the chief's place before evening.
But we, on the other baud, had ex
cellent reasons for not arriving till
night was closing in, since we relied
upon the gloom to cover our advance
upon the koppie which commanded the
town.
Finally ^hey got so importune that
we hud to flatly refuse to move faster,
alleging as a reason ihat the girl was
tired.
They did not accept this excuse in
good part, and at oue time I thought
that we should have come to blows, for
there is no love lost between Butianas
and Matukus.
At last, however, either from motives
of policy or because they were so evi- .
dently outnumbered. they gave in, and j
suffered us to go our own pace.
I earnestly wished that they would j
have added to the obligation by going
theirs, but this they absolutely de
clined to do.
On vhe contrary, they accompanied
us every foot of the way, keeping up a
running Are of allusions to the "Thing
that bites" that Jarred upon my nerves
and discomposed my temper.
About 4.30 in the afternoon we came
to a neck or ridge of stouy ground, ]
whence we could plainly see Wambe's |
town, lying some six or seven miles
away, r.nd 3000 feet beneath us. j
The town is built in a valley, with j
the exception of Wambe's own kraal;
that is situated at the mouth of some j
caves upon the slope of the opposing |
mountains, over which I liopc.l to see
our Impi's spears come flashing the
morrow's light.
Even from where we stood it was
easy to see how strongly the place was
fortified with schanses und stone walls
and how difficult of approach.
Indeed, unless taken by surprise, it
seemed to me quite impregnable to a
force operatiug without canuon. and
even cannon would not make much im
pression on rocks and otony koppies
tilled with eaves.
Then came the descent of the pass,
and un arduous business it was, for
the path? if it may be called a path
was almost entire y composed of huge
water-worn bowlders, from the one to
the other of which we had to Jump like
so many grasshoppers.
It took us two hours to get down,
and traveling through tliat burning
sun, when at last we did reach the
bottom* I for one was pretty nearly
played out.
Shortly afterward. Just as It was
growing dark, we came to the first line
of fortifications, which consisted of a
triple stone wall pierced by a gateway
so narrow that a man could hardly
squeeze through it.
We passed this without question, be
ing accompanied by Wambe's soldiers.
Then came a belt of land, three hun
dred paces or more in width, very rocky
and broken, and having no huts upon
it.
It was in hollows In this belt that the
cattle were kraaled In case of danger.
On the farther side were more forti
fications, and another small gateway
shaped like an inverted V, and Just be
yond and through it I saw the koppie
wo had planned to seize looming up
against the line of mountains behind.
As we went I whispered my sugges
tions to our captain, with the result
that at tlie second gateway he halted
the cavalcade, and addressing the cap
tain of Wambe's soldiers, said that wo
would wait here till we received Wa lo
be's word to enter the town.
The other man said that was well,
only he must band over the prisoners
to be taken up to the chief's kraal, for
Wnmbe was "hungry to begin upon
them," and his "heart desired to see
the white man at rest before he closed
his eyes In sleep," and as for his wife,
surely he would welcome her.
Our leader replied that he could not
do this thing, hrcause his orders were
to deliver the prisoners to Wainhe at
Warn lie's own kraal, and they might
not be broken.
How could he he responsible for the
safety of the prisoners if lie let them
out of his hand?
No; they would wait there till Wam
be's word was brought.
To this, after some demur, the other
man consented, and departed, remark
ing that he would soon be back.
As he passed me he called out, with
a sneer, pointing, as he did so, to the
farting red In the woitern sky: "Look
your last upon the light, white man,
for the 'Thing that bites' lives In the
dark."
Next day it so happened that I shot
this man, snd do you know. I think
that lie is sbout the only humau being
who baa come to baric at my band*
for whom I did not feel sincere sorrow
and, la a degree, remorse.
CHAPTER VII.
THE ATTACK.
Just where we baited ran a litflo '
strenm of water.
I looked at It, and an idea struck me.
Probably tbere would be no water on
tbe koppie.
I suggested this (o our captain, and
acting on tbe bint be directed all tbe
men to drin!: what tbey could, and also
to fill tbe seven or eight cooking pois
which we had with us with water.
Then came the crucial moment.
How were we to get possession of tbe
| koppie.
When our captnin asked me. I said
that I thought we had hotter march up
and take It. and this accordingly we
went ou to do.
When we nine to the narrow gate
way we were, as I expected, stopped
by two soldiers who were on guard
tbere and asked our business.
Tbe captain answered that we bad
cliuuged our mind and would follow on
to Warabe's kraal.
The soldiers said no; we must now
wait.
To this we replied by pushing them
to oue side, and marching .in siugle
file through the gateway, which was
distant not more than a hundred yards
from the koppie.
While we were getting through, th?
men we had pushed away ran toward
the town, calling for assistance? a call
that was promptly responded to. for In
another minute we made out scores of
armed men running hard in our direc
tion.
So we ran. too. for the kopp'.o.
As soon as they understood what we
were after, which they did not at first,
owing to the dimness of the light. they
did their level best ?o sot *o the koppie
before us.
Rut we had tlio start of .hem. and
with the exception of one unfortunate
man. who stumbled and fell, we were
well on to it before they arrived.
This mail they captured, and when
fighting began on the following morn
ing. and he refused to give any infor
mation. they killed him.
Luckily they had no time to toriure
him. or they would certainly have dou-e
so, for these Maluku people are very
fond of torturing their enemies.
When we reached the koppie. the
base of which covered about half an
acre of ground, the soldiers who had
been trying to cut u* off halted, for
they knew the strength of the position.
This gave us a few minutes, before
the light had quite vanished, to recon
notre tbe place.
We found that it was unoccupied, for
tified with a regular labyrinth of stone
walls, and contained three large caves
and some smaller ones.
The next business was to post the
men to such advantage as lime would
allow.
My own men I was careful to put
right at tbe top.
Tbey were perfectly useless from ter
ror. and what I feared was that they
might try to escape and give informa
tion of our plans to Wainlie.
So I watched them like the apple of
my eye, telling them that should they
dare to stir they would be shot.
Then it grew quite dark, and pres
ently out of the darkness I heard a
voice; it was that of the leader of the
soldiers wbo had escorted us. calling to |
us to come down.
We replied that it was too dark to
move; that Ave should hit our feet
against the stones.
He insisted upon our descending, nnd
we flatly refused, saying that if any
attempt was made to dislodge us, we
would fire.
After that, as they had no real In
tention of attacking us in the dark,
the men withdrew, but we saw froin
the watehflres that were lighted
around that they were keeping a strict
j watch upon our position.
That night was a wearing oue. for
we never quite knew how the situation
was going to develop. Fortunately we
had some cooked food with us, so we
did not starve.
It was lucky, however, that we had
drunk our fill before coining up. for. as
I had anticipated, there was not a drop
I of water on the koppie.
At length the night wore away, and
with the first tinge of light 1 Vegan to
go my rounds, and stumbling along Ihe
stony paths, make things as ready as I
could for the attack, which 1 felt sure
would be delivered before we were two
hours older.
The men were cramped and rold, and
consequently low spirited, but I ex
horted them t ? the best of my ability,
bidding them remember the race from
which they sprnng. and not show the
white feather to a crowd oC Matuka
dogs.
At length it began to prow light, and
presently I ?aw long columns of men
advancing toward the koppie.
They halted, under cover, at a dis
tance of about a hundred and fifty
yards, and just as the dawn broke, a
herald came forward and called to us.
Our captain stood on the roek and
answered him.
"These are the words of Wambe."
j he said. "Come forth front the koppie
and give over the evil doers, and go in
| peace, or stay on the koppie and bo
slain."
"It Is too early to come forth a? yet.''
answered our man, in line diplomatic
style.
"When the sun sucks u;> the mist,
then will we come forth.
"Onr limbs are stiff with cold."
"Come forth even now," said the
herald.
"Not if I know It, my boy." said I to
myself, but the captain replied that he
would come out when he thought
proper, and not before.

Resolution on 1907 Cotton Acrcage.
The following resolution was pass
ed by the great convention of the
Southern Cotton Association held
in Birmingham.
"In view of the fact that a great
many farmers have adopted the in
tensive system of farming, increas
ing the yield per acre and new terri
tory each year is being planted in
cotton that heretofore has not grown
cotton, thereby increasing the pro
duction, therefore in order to main
tain satisfactory and remunerative
prices, we urge and recommend a
full reduction of 10 per cent of cot
ton acreage for the year 1007. "
"We further recommend that the
acreage so reduced be planted in
food crops."
"We are sure that unless the
farmers unitedly reduce their acre
ago of cotton that they will be con
fronted at the end of ft he season
with equally bad, if not worse condi
tions than they were in 1004, when
cotton went down to (i cents per
pound.
