hear the callp telling the .joke on him

toliches a blide of 0' grass bent one way
with his toe and presently you'll see
him with a twig broken inl the oppo

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. Ile ouild 11!1 in
thtr stay with a dozen ieidents, (ach
ole coiliplete in itself, such as wlure
a1 young.Stlel slipped, fell, squaleilli and
got spanked by his mother. But such
trimning s of detalls impress them
selves only oi his subconscious inind.
Ia reatlity his whole attention Is fixed
on the imain chance. By the season of
the year ho knows that this herd is not
traveling alone. The track of the
males Is nearby. 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

M'sungo looked back at Andrea impa

Only Ballitub was ii sight behind her,

to take her next step before he placed
his foot. His naked body, exposed to
the mnereiless sun, .itreamed with

Andrea's shoulders ached from

ward off the interminably encroaching
vines and braniches that seemed to op
