Whbile all of you may not approve of admitting them as political allies, not one of you can deny or disprove logically their legitimate claim to such recognition.

A heavy loaded freight train was bearmng down at the time, and Mr. Myers who is an experienoed and careful motorman, made every possible effort to stop it, but without avail, and seeing what was coming, Mr. Myers requested his only passenger to get out of the car. Mr. C. B.

A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE rriving I gave the horse to one of bhe stable boys, and -went into the oen ral hut. There was no sign of Stella, hough the things she had been packing ay- about-the floor. .I passed first -into ir sleeping hut, thence one by one Into all the others, but still saw no sign of her. Then .I went out. and calling a Kaffr in the garden, asked hirm if he had seen-hi's mistress: He answered: "Yes." He had seen her carrying flowers, walking towards the graveyard, holding the little white girl-my daughter-as he called her, .by the hand, when the sun stood "there," and he pointed to a spot in the horizon where it would have been about an hour and a half before. -The two dogs were with them," he added. I turned and ran towards the graveyard, which was about a quarter of a mile from the huts. Of course* there 'was* no reason to be anx ious-evidently she .had gone to lay the lowers on her father's grave. And yet I was anx'ous When I got near the graveyard I met one of the natives, who, by my orders, had been set round the kraals to watch the place, and noticed that he was rub bing his eyes and yawning. Clearly he had been 'asleep. I asked him if he had seen his mistress, and he answered that he had not, which, under the circum stances, was not wonderful. Without stopping to reproach him, I ordered the man to follow me,' and went 4o the graveyard. There, on Mr. Carson's grave, lay the drooping flowers which tella had been carrying, and there in the fresh mold was the spoor of Tota's veldsehoon, or hide slipper. But where were they? I ran from the graveyard and called aloud at the top of my voi.e, but no an swer came. Meanwhile the native was more profitably engaged in tracing their spoor, He followed it about a hundred yards till he came to a clump of mimosa bush that was situated between the stream and the ancient marble quarries just above the waterfall and at the mouth of the ravine. Here he stopped, and I heard him give a startled cry. I rushed to the spot, passed through the trees and saw this. The little oper space in the center of the glade has been the scene of a struggle. There, in the soft earth, were the marks of three human feet-two shod, one naked Stella's, Tota's and Hendrloa'. Nor wai this all. There, close by, lay the frag ments of the two dogs-they were nothing more-and one baboon, not ye quite dead, which had been bitten I1 the throat by the dogs. All around u was the spoor of numberless baboons The full horror of what had happene< lashed into my mind. My wife and Tots had been carried'ol brutes, acting under the direction of th woman-monkey, Hendrika, had dragge " I RUSHED TO THE SPOT.". them away to some secret den, there tc .keep -them till they died-or kill them! For a moment I literally staggered beneath the terror of the shock. Theni I roused myself from my despair. I bade the native run and alarm the people at the kraals, telling them to come armed and bring me guns and aimunition. He went like the wind, and I turned to fol low the spoor. For a few yards .It was plain enough-Stella had been dragged along. -I could see where her heels had struck the ground; the child had, I pro sumed, been carried-at least there were no marks of her feet. At the wvater's edge the spoor vanished. The wat'er was shallow, and they had gone along in it, or at least Hendrika and her victims had in ordr to obliterate the trail I could see where a mosaegrown stonehad been reshly. turned-over In the water-Dod. I 'an along the bank some way up the ravine in the vain hope of catching a light of them. Presently.I heard a bark uiie cliffs above me; It was answered by another, and then I saw that scores > baboons were hidden about among the cks on either, side, and were slowly wwinging themselves down to bar the ath. To go on unarmed as I was wouild e useless. I should only be torn to ieces as the dogs had been. So I turned bnd fled back towards tlie huts, As- I rew near I could see that my messenger ad roused the settlement, for natives ith spears and kerries In their hands yre running up towards. the kraals. Ten I reached the hut I met old. ndaba-zimb, who wore a very serious "So the evil has fallen,Macumazahn," It has fallen," I answered. Keep a good heart, Maoumazahn," .6 said again. "She is not dead, nor. be litte maid. and before they die we bll find them. Remember this. Hen rka loves-her. She will not harm her; r allow the babyans o harm her, She 11l try to hide her away from you, bat is all." "ray God that we may find her," I raned. "The light is going fast."

Hasten slowly, Macumazahn." As there was no help, I took his ad IeI Icould eat no food, but I packed me up to take with us. and made ady ropes and a rough kind of litter. we found them they would scarcely' aale to walk. Ah! If we found them! ow slowly the time passed! It seemed wt-a rise. Then we started. In all we were see, about ahundred.men, butwe only mus- eye tered live guns between us, my elephAnt I W roer, an four that had belonged to Mr. jo Carson. CHAPTER IL We gained the spot by the stream where Stella had been taken. The na tives looked at the torn fragments of the dogs, and at the marks of violence, and I heard them swearing to each other that whether the Star lived or died they would not rest until they had extermi 1nated every baboon on Babyan's Peak. I echoed the oath, and, as shall be seen, we kept it. We started on along the stream, fol lowing the spoor of the baboons as we ,best could. But the stream left no spoor, and the hard, rocky -banks but little. Still we wandered on. All night we wandered th'rough the lonely moon lit valleys, startling the silence into a thousand echoes with our cries. But no answer came to them. In vain our eyes searched the sides of precipices formed of water-riven rocks fantastically piled one upon another; in vain we searched through endless dells and fern-clad th crannies. There was nothing to be 'Str found. How could wve expect to find two ga human beings hidden away in the re- It cesses of this vast stretch of mountain zal ground, which no man yet had ever fully im explored? They.were lost, and in all h human probability lost forever. da To and fro we wandered hopelessly, km till at last dawn found us footsore and ev weary nearly at the spot whence we had al started. We sat down waiting for the sun to rise, and .the. men ate of such food as they had brought with them, M, ahd sent to the kraal foi more. M I sat upon a .stone- with a breaking heart. I oat not describe my feelings. Let the reader put himself in my posi- I tion and perhaps he may get some Idea b of them. ' Near me was old Indaba- di imbi, who sat staring straight before of him as though he were looking into as space, and taking note of what went on T there. An idea struck me. This man w had some occilt power. Several times tj during our adventures he had prophe sied, and in every case his prophecies hi had proven true. He it was who, when we escaped from the Zulu Impi, had told. 7 me to steer north, because there we = should find the place of a white man tj who lived under the shadow of a great P peak that was full of baboons. Perhaps f, he could help in this extremity-at any , rate it was worth trying. "Indaba-zimbi," I said, "you say that el you can senid your spirit through the doors of space and see what we can not sl see. At the least I know that you can b do strange things. Can you not help me now? If you can, and will save c, her, I will give you half the cattle that a we have here." t] I "I never said any thing of the sort' d acumazahn," he answered. "I do d things, I do not talk about them. 13 Neither do I seek reward for what I do like a common witch-doctor. It is well that you have asked me to use mywis dom, Macumazahn, for I should not a have used it again without being asked s -no, not even for the sake of the Star and yourself, whom I love, for if so my a fore I might not use my wisdom unless you thought well to call upon my spirit. However, it~ would have been no good to ask me before, for I have only just found the herb I want," and he produced ~ a handful of leaves of. a plant that was - unfamiliar to me. It had prickly leaves, . shaped very much like those of the corn mon English nettle.. "Now, Macumazahn," he went on, "bid the men leave us alone, and then follow me presently to the little glade downthere by the water." I did so. When I reached the glade I found Indaba-zimbi kindling a small fire. m under the shadow of a tree by the edge at of the water-.o "Sit there, Macumazahn," he said, h< pointing to'a stone near the ire, "and o, do not b~e surprised or frightened at any b~ thing you see. If you move or ca,11 out th we shall learn nothing." vi I sat down and watched. When the sh fire was alight and burning brightly the y old fellow stripped himself stark naked, -and, going to the foot of the pool, ce dipped himself in the water. Then he 'm came back shivering with the cold, and. i leaning over the little fire, thrust leaves of the plapt I have mentioned into his mouth and began to chew them, mut- fu: terings as he ,chewed. Most of the re- Vi maining leaves he threw on the fire. A pa dense smioke -rose from them, but he - held his head in this smoke and drew it 10' do.wn into his lungs till I saw that he he was exhibiting every sign of suffocation. w] The veins in his throat and chest swlled, he gasped loudly, and his eyes, ha from which tears were streaming, seemed as though they were going to to start from his head. Presently he fell ad, over on his side, and lay senseless. I wa was terribly alarmed, and my first im- Ini pulse was to run to his assistance, but sh< fortunately I remembered his caution, . ta and al quiet. its Indaba-zimbi lay on the ground like a ab: person quite~ dead. His limbs had all weJ the utter relaxation of death. But as I watched I saw them begin to stiffen, exactly as though rigor mortis had set in.. Then, to my astonishment, I perceive4 'I them once more relax, and this timl 3rt there appeared upon his chest the stai4 (.0] of decomposition. It spread and spreadi Liv4 in three minutes the man, to all appearj isg ance, was alivid corpse, or ' I sat amased watching this nncanny bo sight,, and wondering if any furthg natural process was about to be enactet, Brhaps Indaba-zimbi was going to f al E to dust before my eyes. As I watched I bee noticed that the, discoloration was be- in-q ginning to fade. First it vanished from chii the extremities, then from the larger cur lmb and lastly from the trunk. Then for i turn came- the third stage of relaxa- tie ton, the second stage of stiffness or fv rgor, and the- first stage of after-death Mr collapse. Whep these had all rapidly ak! succeeded each - other Indaba-zimbi quietly woke, up.. .I was too astonished to .speak. I sim ply looked at him with my mouth open. "Well, Macumazahni," he said, putting . is hea pp oneside like a bird, and ned ding his white lock in a comical fashion; it is all right; I have seen her," Wib -"Seen who?" (.sad. W "The Star, your wife, and the little maid. They are much frightened, but unharmed. The Babyan-frau watches them. She Is mad, but the baboons " obey her, and do not hurt them. The Star was sleeping from weariness, so I. whispered in her ear, and told her not to be frightened, for you would soon res- morf cue her, and that meanwhile she must seem to be pleased to have Hendrika near her." tXo whispered in her ear?" said I. 1 - hisper in her ear?" n to di aiid go rotten Wore 'Your ?

Ah, you white men, you ow so much that you think you know ry thing. But you don't! You are ays staring at the clouds and can't the things that lie at your feet. >u hardly believe me now, do you, %cumazahn? Well, I will show you. ve you any thing on you that the ar has touched or worn?" [ thought for a moment, and said that iad a lock of her hair in my pocket ok. He told me to give it to him. I I so. Going to the fire, he lit the lock hair in the flame, and let it burn to hee, which he caught in his left hand. aese ashes he mixed up in a paste th the juice of one of the leaves of e plant I have spoken of. "Now, Macamazahn, shut your eyes," said. Idid so, and he rubbed his paste on to y eyelids. At first it burnt me, then y head swam strangely. Presently is effect passed off, and my brain was wrfectly clear again, but I could not l the ground with my feet. Indaba mbi led me to the side of the stream. eneath us was a pool of beautifully .ear water. "Look into the pool, Macumazahn," id Indaba-zimbi, and his voice sounded allow and far away in my ears. I looked. The water grew dark; it eared, and in it was a picture. I saw cave with a fire burning in it. Against ie wall of the cave rested Stella. Her ress was torn almost off her, she looked readfully pale and weary, and her eye ds were red as though with weep g. But she slept, and I could almost ink that I saw her lips-shape my name i her sleep. Close to her, her head pon Stella's breast, was little Tota; de had a skin thrown over her to keep ut the night cold. The child was wake, and appeared to be moaning a rough pot' shaped from wood, sat die Baboon-woman, Hendrika. She ras clothed in baboon skins, and her ice had been rubbed with some dark ~ain, which was, however, wearing off . In the intervals of her cooking she 'ould turn on Stella her wild eyes, in 'hich glared visible madness, with .an pression of tenderness that amounted > worship. Then she would stare at 2 poor child and gnash her teeth as iough with hate. Clearly she was salous of it. Round the entrance arch the cave peeped and peered the heads Smany baboons. Presently Hlendri'a ade a sign to ore of them; apparently e did not speak, or rather grunt, in der not to wake Stella. The brute ipped forward, and she gave it a sec .d rude wooden pot which was ly ig her. It took it and went. The last ing thect I saw, as the vision slowly nihed from the pool, was the dim adow of the baboon returning with the t full of water. Presently every thing .had gone. I ased to feel strange. There beneath was the pool, and at my side stood daba-zimbi, smilinag. "You have seen things," he said. "I have," I answered, and made no ether remark on the matter. What s there to say? "Do you know the th to the cave?'' I added. He nodded his head.. "I did not foi e It all just now, because it winds," said. "But I know it. We shall ,nt the ropes." 'Then let us be starting; the men ye eaten." Ee nodded his head again, and going the uen I told them to make ready, ling that Indaba-zimbi knew the y. They said that was all right, if laba-zimbi had "smelt her out," they >uld soon find the Star.
