had been prostrated beneath’ the swinging blade, the blacks began to reason together, for they appeared to have a little common-sense.

fire-brand, perhaps because of exces- sive caution with regard to the kraal.

A high wind had sprung up and

chanced to be blowing directly from

the cabin in the direction of the con-

ical lodges, so that in case the hut went up in a blaze, a myriad of sparks must be carried across’ the stockade and on to_ the

roofs with a disastrous result.

This was not the only means that might be employed in order to accom- plish the ruins of the young man who stood so bravely at bay and de- fied them. There were others.

Presently when the cunning Hassaje had been given a chance to think, an attack was made upon the structure itself.

Willing hands were ready to assail it, and when two score of athletic fanatics are turned loose upon = one little cabin there is but small chance of the latter withstanding the _ as- sault any length of time.

Some of the blacks began to smash

most

in the remnant of a door, using a log for the purpose of a battering-

ram.

No doubt it is an old trick, since just such things were quite the go in the early days about the time of Richard the Lion Hearted; and the history of the American border pre- sents numerous instances where a tree-trunk has opened a passage for those seeking ingress to block house as Well as feudal castle.

Time has not reduced its effective qualities, and it serves the purpose of those who wield it in the wilds of South Africa to-day just as Well as in

the time of chivalry, when bolts from cross-bows, and shafts from good yew bows, instead of leaden

bullets met the charging assailants. This was only a beginning. Others of the blacks swarmed upon where they worked like intent upon tearing the pieces, Just as a pack wolves might rend the fallen into their

It was plain to be seen that the ‘nd was very near, nor could poor lex imagine how the _ inevitable might be warded off much longer.

Iiven as he looked he saw the ; Sparks began to fly, and held his breath in suspense. Could she save

them by such a power? It

manifestation of her might cause the = super-

stitious blacks to cringe for the mo- ment, but when the show was over would they not recover their cour-

age, inspired by the passion of the witch-doctor who had determined to regain his olden supremacy or die in the attempt.

Sure enough, when the first color- ed ball flew through the open door-

way and landed among the bold wielders of the battering-ram, they were almost paralyzed with sudden

fright.

There is no fear so great as_ that superstition, whether shown by a poor Kaflfir, a Hottentot, or the ignorant man who ghost in a country lane. become weak and the collapses.

No doubt there was an immediate falling down of the warriors, a hug- ging of the earth in absolute fright, and when a second gay ball floated up through the darkness, looking like a blood-red, angry eye, those on the

roof scrambled down to terra firma with an alacrity that might have been extremely ludicrous at another

time.

Rex was by this time at the _ side of the girl as she stood by the door- way.

“If you have another give it to he whispered hoarsely, and she

‘put the last remaining firework in

his hand.

‘“Turn it toward the very bali of fire with the wind!’’ claimed.

A sudden thought had flashed his mind—no, it was more idea, it could only be spiration.

She understood what it meant.

the lodges themselves, Were con- structed aiter the manner of a thatch.

Once let those blazing cotton balls drop upon such an inviting nest and the consequences might be readily dis- counted, for a Match applied to shavy- ings could hardly have a more speedy result.

Only a start was needed, and the biustering wind that blew from ocean to ocean would look out for. the rest.

When both of the ten-ball tubes set- tled down to Work bombarding the kraal, the effect was quite pictures- que.

Singly or by doubles the colored balls mounted the stockade and de- scended within. It would have been a high barrier indeed that could have refused them entrance.

Rex was not there to entertain an audience—it meant life and death, everything on earth to him and to the fair being at his side. Others might serve as magicians and en- thrall the fierce impis by lofty flighis of fire balls that vanished mvysteri- ously ere they had half completed their descent.

These fire-messengers were entrust- ed with a mission, and making but a slight curve, just clearing the top of the stockade, they flew some to the right, others to the left, causing the most painful sensation among the women and children of the lodges.

It would be strange indeed if near-

lv everyone of them did not find lodgment upon a thatched roof, starting incipient blazes that the

hustling breeze would fan into a roar- ing, seething conflagration.

Perhaps it was a fearful means of distracting attention from themsel-

ves, but at the moment some such dernier ressort seemed their ony hope.

Nor was it in vain.

The outcries from the interior the stockade grew louder.

A ruddy glow began to appear f. émereased with every passing secon

lina darky, fled in abject terrcr,

When it was discovered that’ the village Was on fire the warriors who had been so intent upon securing the death of the fugitives, forgot all else in the fear that overwhelmed them in connection with the safety of the helpless ones now endangered.

Some sped away to the gates of the kraal, with feet winged by a fearful dread.

Others, urged on to more speedy action by the actual necessity of the case, started to climb the stockade, which could be accomplished by agile men When not harassed by defenders within; and their dark figures soon stood out in silhouette against the glowing background, as, reaching the top, they clung there a few seconds ere taking the plunge beyond,

Rex looked around eagerly,

“The coast is clear—now igs time for flight!’’ he exclaimed.

Hope had dethroned despair within his heart, for there now appeared a chance of escaping the cruel fate that so lately had seemed to be their portion.

There were some forms upon the ground, but they chowed no move- ment, for the edge of the historic claymore that the hand of a Bruce or a Wallace may once have touched had done its work well.

Maid Marion was not slow to re- cognize the truth of what he said.

The chance was given them—such an opportunity would never come again.

She followed him acrogs the shat- tered fragments of the door. Outside it was as light as midday, such was the iluminating power of the great torch that licked up the lodges as though they were grains of powder.

CHAPTER XXVI. A PAIR OF DROMOS.

Something that glittered caught the eve of Hastings. He knew it was the hammered and polished point of an assegai, and mechanically stocping possessed himself of it, though had he been asked he could not have told why he did so.

The confusion was at its highest point, but presently it would begin to ebb, when the fire-fiend no lorger found fuel upon which to feed.

And while the clamor arose _ iike the wail of lost souls in torment,

they turned away from the thrilling

Nervous and Debilitated.

Almost a Victim of Nervous Prostration —Was Restored to Health and Strength by Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food.

Mrs. D. W. Cronsberry, 168 Richmond

street west, Toronto, Ont., states:— “My daughter, who sews in a white goods manufactory, got completely run down by the steady confinement and close ettention required at her work. Her nerves were so exhausted, and she was so weak and debilitated, that she had to give up work entirely, and was almost a victim of nervoug prostration. _ “ Hearing of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food, ghe began tose it, and was benefitted from the vert /‘rst. It proved an ex- cellent remedy in restoring her to health and stfength. After having used four boxes she is now at work again, healthy and happy, and attri- butes her recovery to the use of Dr, Chase’s Nerve Food.”

As a blood builder and nerve restora- tive, Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food is estimable value. It makes the red, the nerves strong, and the
