two desperate men not a shot was to be fired. It was to be a seizure—if not a the knife—if not the knife, as a last desperate resort, the rifle.

Pausing to take a long breath, the two daring Anglo-Saxon heroes, crouching low, ran swiftly out in the tall the open space, stumbl- ing and there over the hidden bowlders, but keeping ever in a_ di- rect line for the sumiunit.

Just beyond the glade they came upon a steep path which some what resembled a rude staircase. It was fortunately invisibie from below and Burnham and Armstrong passed rapidly and noiselessly along the as- cent.

At the very summit were two huge blocks of upheaved by prehistoric earthquake. They leaned together in the shape of an ‘‘A’’ tent, forming an opening about in height and trending downward.

The men were on- their hands and knees now. They crawled cautiously across the last intervening bowlder

right up to the dark and foul smell- ing entrance to the M’limo’s cave.

Then together, like two great cats, they dropped softly into the ness. The rocky aisle, a few in advance, turned sharply to the left. They cautiously peered around this *‘neck.’’

There in the semi-darkness sat

dubi, the M’limo of the Matabele, gaunt and savage, crouched like a

spider in a noisome web.

As they caught sight of him, an in- spiration swept over the god and he began an incantation. tered words of the chant resembled the mindless ravings of a hasheesh dream. With every sway of his body forward his gree-grees and armlets of dead men’s bones sounded like the an- ery warning of a rattlesnake.

Before he had finished the chant he ,

gun oor spear he sought to snatch from the wall? Burnham did not know, nor did he stop to guess. His rifle pitched like lightning to his

shoulder, and the darkness was lanc- ed with flame.

Then M’limo, the Matabele god, threw his arms aloft aad with never a groan fell prone upon his face dead. Echoes which had slept for centuries were wakened from their hoary lairs and went rioting and bellowing abroad in the hills. Out of the cav- ern pell-mell came the two men, scrambling wildly for the base of the hill where their horses were tied.

All had been well arranged before-

and stretched away for the river. That was the story of how the no- torious usurper met his doom. Those who have read an account of it in the columns of enterprising papers doubtless had little appreciation of the terrible dangers surrounding the mission of these brave fellows, who took their lives in their hands and went out to save the border from being drenched with blood. Heroic treatment is sometimes necessary in order to accomplish great results. They had ridden hard; their horses had been pushed to the limit, and now, as Burnham had been saying, they must rest before completing their flight to Mangwe. Naturally they were curious to know what strange

of the Zambodi and Matabele in their war da‘nces and in council, doubtless they considered the venture for so strange a purpose a little on the or-

old Don Quixote sought.

Then the presence of Marian arous- ed their curiosity, and the story had to be told. ;

Rex noticed Little Phil pressibg close to Lord Bruno while the latter related how he had long sought his sister and found her in the fair idol of the Zambodi—it seemed to have some special meaning to the cowboy, for a little later Rex heard him laugh- ing softly to himself and repeating ‘‘Sister Marian’’ in a crooning Way as though he_ rejoiced in the new found happiness of the Englishman. Other events which followed thick and fast upon each other’s heels caug- ed Rex to quite forget the circum- stance until it was resurrected in his mind by an event of which more will be said when the proper time comes.

Jim Bludsoe was again entrusted

As usual he looked for an elevation, to throw it in their way.

It was a rocky fortress, where half

a dozen Well armed men could hold their own against scores, if the

worst came to pass, and while all of them had grave fears for the future they were indeed glad to find such a temporary refuge.

CHAPTER XXIX. TRE DEFENCE OF THE RAMPARTS.

Tiere the dawn of another day found them, surrounded by as wild a country as South Africa knew.

The hours dragged along. burn- ham and his companions shared with them their stock of provisions, so the pangs of hunger were warded off.

Again and again they saw bands of the fierce Matabele scourine the

country, and once Rex, using the glass, believed he had a glimpse of Zambodi warriors, with the knavish Hassaje at their head, though they vanished among the thickets’ before he could make sure his suspicion was absolutely correct. >

It would not be strange, for these tribes have coalesced on several occa- sions when a War Was being waged upon their common bete foir, the white settler.

About the middle of the afternoon eame a shock, A large force of the jmpis wes discovered advancing stfaight toWards the rocky mound which sheltered them.

At first Jim was of the opinion they were following the trail, but he presently changed his mind. It was more likely some lone scout had dis- covered their camp, spied upon them in spite of their precautions, and then carried his startling news to the near- est aggregation of warriors.

At any rate the result was same.

They had discounted such a desper- ate climax—that is, having it before their eyes every hour and minute of the day and night, when finally the worst did break upon them, no one showed fear.

Perhaps there Was a compression of lips, a flashing of determined eyes, |

guns and pistols. They were ready to give battle te

Jim was biding his time, just as Putman did at historic Bunker Hili

—each shot must count, and until the whites of the Matabele’s eyes could be discerned, not a bullet

should go forth upon its mission.

Pushing after each other the blacks were half way up the narrow defile when above the cries of the rabble sounded Jim’s:

‘““Now!”’

A flash—a tremendous crash that seemed to cause the very foundations of their rocky fortress to quiver, and the game was on.

For a score of seconds nothing was to be heard but the detonation of Winchesters, forming one fearful con- fused rattle, together with the shrieks of the wretches whom this whirlwind of lead mowed down in the cut.

Then the firing ceased.

There Was no longer an enemy in sight upon whom further shots might be spent. The smell of burnt pow- der filled the air, and as the breeze lifted the canopy of white smoke a fearful scene was disclosed.

It was a murderous fire the Mata- bele had faced, crowded into that narrow defile as they were.

Flesh and blood could not stand it longer, and it was no wonder those who were able had backed out of the

death hole to hide behind outlying rocky spurs, and recover their breath.

The defile was not so deep by a foot or two, as it ha& been before

the mad assault, since@t was car- peted with human bodies. Bludsoe set the example to his

men by replenishing his partially ex- hausted magazine, and then coolly awaited the next move of the enemy.

Their situation had advanced from bad to worse, for the noise of bat- tle must have been heard for miles around, and by nightfall every black warrior within leagues of the rocky ramparts would ® hurrying toward the scene of disturbance.

What then?

That night might be their last— upon those heights they would grap- ple with the grim monster Death, and fighting to the finishing gasp lay down their lives as became brave men.

Those who had escaped the slaugh- ter did not appear to hanker after a second experience in a hurry.

They dodged about among the spurs of rocks, or else met incoming bands to place them in possession of the facts.

Thus the day drew near an end, with fully two hundred furious blacks in the immediate neighbor- hood of the rock fort, and others still hastening to the hub of the dis- turbance.
