WVlVhile Man ox plains (ho Afrluicn method of wito pur. chase, "obolo."' She is horrilled. After ward ,ho listens to the report of native runners that a herd of elephant;, is in the district and is invited to tho hunt by Whit, Mau. They start down it croco dile-infested stream for the seere of the: hunt. Rathtub turned lingeringly fr'omi the carcass, r'isited over, dropped the itnclh box at M'sungo's feet and plunged back again. "We'll have to forgive him," said :M'sungo, sitting down and proceeding to open the tin fnd liy out A udren's lunch for ner. "'Tie elephant--especially a dead Pue -holos a place in the native cosmos that no while imnil has ever (ulLe suC ceeded in grasping. All those 'boys' are quite mad. I've seen one sever his thumh from his body when he was like that and never notice it till he reeled from loss of blood." Andrea shivered but M'sungo did not notice it. "They believe," he con tinued, "that the meat of elephant Is a colmpound of the flesh of all animals and that by eating it they acquire all the leading attributes-the courage of the lion, the slyness of the jackal, the gorging capacity of the snake, the eye might of the hawk by day and of the felines by night, the industry of the ant and the homing instinct of the bee. You see the line? It's endless; and just because they have more than a smattering of the qualities they seek, the superstition will never die." He stopped to give Andrea a drink of water and to feed her a first sand wich. "And that isn't the only thing tlit n(ever (lies," lie went oi, his eyes narrowing to a peculiar look she had never seen in thetm before, such ia look as on'! is it to connect only with nhyst ies, falnis, ardeit he(levers, and thoroughly out of keeping with the Coin clti(on of the White Matn she had builded fpr~t he;rself. "Why, White Man!" she cried, "What: d yoil ii('a? What's comlie over you?" Hie looked awsy and thlen bia'lc at her. 'Well.'' h- s iid, a quizzical glean creeping into his eyes, "who':( afraid? Why shot'dnit I tell once more a thing that's bean w rittii it hundred tines by greater adept; than I and never be lieved? It's this, Andrea l'elior. Don't set yourself loo high above the native .and his worship of the greatest of bcasts, for he knows what you ('nn't even believe andi that is that1 elep~lhnt ne killed, they never die. In all the centuries that blacks, Arabs and whites have padded the myriad t rails of Afrien, no man has ever seen or heard of an elephant dying from 01(1 age or any other natural cause." is eyes hardened on her face. "You see?" he whispered. "You can't be lieve it. Elephants never die." Leading the march home over the back trail, M'sungo set a pance that kept Marguerite at a jogging trot. Andrea protested but to no avail. M'sungo, comfortably smoking pipe after pipe, had withdrawn into one of those male havens of the mind that remains mar velously'untroubled by the tongues of women. Andrea sulked. *When they arrived at the river, there being but three natives in their reduced following, M'sungo promptly took his place as one of the four pallk bearers to Marguerite. There was something about being carried even in part by a white mani that seemed to appeal to the old rogue's sense of hu mor, Hie threw up his barrel-long head an'l brayed an accomplhaninment to his trIumrphli pr'ogr'ess Into the scow. No sooner was lie deposited than M'sungo seizedi his tail andut bore (down) On it wvith all! his wveight. The music atud. de(nly ceelt.~~ ti Andrea's clear laughter still rflni outi. "Oh.'' she eried when nhe could spea0k, "he is clever. I didn't realizo.u htow ridiculous you were until he htmhed !" She let herself go :in in. M'sungo glared at her. "And you were brutal," she contin uned. "Ylou putlled lia tail.'' "I pu'ieti his tail to make hlim shut uip,'' sl M'.sungo. "I wish-" he paused. ".iay it," cIe(d Andrea. "You wish you ('ould imake meit shut up. Well, you enn't. Ci' going to laugh all I like. Sibl ('pene'r~~id,' her mouth for a stia;. "'lia ! I (a ! I Ia !" but. It never got om.

She sv a doubt and then a Sudden dee. lsin comeit into his fare. "All right," he said. "I'll tell you tonight." They reached the home craal at the setting of the sun. In rapid succession came tea, a hot bath, fresh clothes anl dinner. With the first putit at her cigarette Andrea settled back in her chair and said, "Now." The man dd not pretend to be at a1 loss for herl meauing. HIe nodded, lit his eigar anidl sat doIwan, "All right," he ail(, "I'll trust yOu. here's the cal out of the bag.

"And wha . hui you intended to do with me on his flst vist?' she asked. "Well," said M'sungo, his brows puel'rir., "I've hod in mind to telj you all ahout it just as frA doing, irdI trust you. But if It had2u't come. to that, I was going to gag you and lock you upl)." "Oh, here you?" said Andrea, her e7'3 narrowing.

"lIt's a questiou of whether it ever pays to tell tales out of school." "And y'ou don't think you are justi fled In telling me this man's business just as a warning?" "You mean," satd M'sungo, "so that you can believe me when I tell you it wouldi be a dilsaster should lie catch a glimpse of you? In other wor-ds, you wuant to bo persuaded that I'm telling the' truth." "Not at all," said Andrea. "You're fishing for trouble. I mean-just a warning." "Well, If you mean just that," said M'sungo, "It is quite unnecessary, for the man Is his own warning. Only sn-a him before he sees you anid I won't have to gag you, I won't have to lock you up. I may, however, have to put the tracker on your trail Into the bush." "You think there is a man living I would run from?" saId Andrea. "You don't know me." "Perhaps you wouldn't," said M'sungo, "but in the case of MacClos ter, It wvquhd be because you couldn't on account of jelly In the knees." "Oh I" cried Andren. "Now you have done it. Now I want to see him." "Andre'a Pellor," said M'sungo quiet ly, "please believe me when I tell you that you don't. I'm hoping the old1 devil won't go on a tear while you're here, but If lhe does and If tie comes, just remember what I tell you. Rtather than have MacCloster see you and touch you, I would gladly cut your throat." "Whby mIne?" asked Andrea. "It wvould have impressed me a lot more if youi'd said your own. P'erhaps you r'ealiz'ed thant I couldn't quite belieCve that." "Now you're trying to quarrel," said the white man coolly.

Her question eceted to send a shock through him, but he met her eyes sauarely and said nothing. Andrea waited a full minute, then she began: "Who are you?
