‘“‘Our proper course should have been to have immediately left that dangerous region; but the professor had conceived an idea, and being as stubborn as a mule, he was bound to have his way, danger or not.
‘In brief, he had discovered a large kraal against the side of the moun- tain, a town that scemed to be many times larger than anything he had as yet run across, besides presenting possibilities that were especially al-

then, I reluctantly agreed to accom- pany him, knowing by experience that this was the quickest method of inducing him leave the hostile region, for it had by this time become a question as to whether we would ever, live to reach civilization again, so numerous were the difficulties that beset us.
‘‘We started out immediately, hav- ing cautioned our few remaining men to remain in hiding. I may as well mention just here that when we reached our rendezvous again all of them had decamped with the plunder, save faithfully Friday; but since his specimens remained safe, Monsieur Jules never worried.

| sation I do not ever remember exper- ’
place. From our elevated position we could see a dense mass of kneel- ing blacks in the open space at the foot of the cliff, and the low murmur of a chant which had struck our ears wpon rounding the side of the hill, now burst into a most amazing chor- us, that rose and fell like the waves of the ocean.
“I was at first alarmed, believing that our presence had become known, and had something to do with this terrible spectacle; but the professor assured me it was only some part of their fetish worship, and begged me not to think of leaving, since he Was bound to see it through, come what would.
“‘So we crouched there, and peeped through crevices in the rocks at the multitude of devout worshippers be- low.
“T tell you, Bruno, I never exper- fenced anything equal to it — that chant so weird, so uncanny in its sudden outbursts, coming from the throats of hundreds of the most den- sely ignorant negroes in all Africa -— the expectancy with which they crouched there and looked upward— all these things gave me an eyrie sen-
iencing before in all my life.
“Then I began to wonder what they could be looking for up on the face of that clifi—surely they await- ed no dawning of the sun—could it be they worshipped the quarter whence he had vanished that even- ing in a golden splendor I have never seen equaled outside of Venice and in Florida? It would only be carrying out the same idea as the true Mus- sulman who says his prayers five
times a day with his face always turned toward the sacred city of Mecca.
“‘Then I conceived another notion —possibly in some niche along the face of the cliff the hideous voodoo , idol they worshipped had a resting place.
“Eagerly I sought to discover it, , but although my eyes alighted upon -a little platform or ledge half-way ‘up, where the silvery moonbeams played in undisturbed splendor, [ could discover no trace of an idol or figure of any sort.
“‘Again I turned my attention upon the great mass of superstition ridden blacks groveling upon the plain. They seemed convulsed, as with one mind they sprang to their fect, wavy- ed their arms wildly aloft, and gave vent to a fearful shout that went rolling down along the line of kopies like thunder.
‘“‘A fearful suspicion flashed into my head that they had discovered us —that presently they must be swarm- ing around the side of the hill bent upon cutting off qgur escape; and the very thought of falling into the hands of those black fiends was en- ough to send a shudder through the stoutest heart.
‘“‘Hardly had I conceived this start- ling idea, than I noticed with in- creasing amazement that to a man the impis had again cast themselves upon their faces as if in reverential awe.
‘“At the same instant the professor plucked my arm, and made a motion for me to look up, which I of course immediately did.
“The Httle moon-bathed ledge was the spot toward which my attention was attracted as if by some instinct.
“Tt was no longer vacant.
“T held my breath for very awe— at that moment, so great was my stupefaction that I could not have moved hand or foot even though the choice of life and death hung upon such action on my part; for as [ looked, my eyes boheld what ap- peared to be a beautiful angel in white, standing On the edge of the platform with hand upraised — and then and there I knew the vague travelers’ stories I had heard about the fair white god of the Zambodi were true.’’
CHAPTER V. THE SONG OF THE SIREN.
Lord Bruno had hung upon the words of his companion with the Most intense interest, and at this crisis in the narrative he too came to a sitting posture and breathlessly awaited the finish.
‘“*To describe her would be a task beyond my power. All I can declare in my feeble way is that as she burst
m my vision, bathed in a halo moonlight, she was a glorious ob- % for an artist’s dream. You and have painted such subjects as an- my dear fellow—we have
ever, elsewhere.
“The magnetic influence of the scene was upon me—TI felt enthralled, as though under a spell. There was a subtle witchery in the very atmos- phere, that seemed to blind my sen- ses, and all I could do was to crouch there and worship that beautiful be ing very much as the ignorant Afri- cans were doing in their own savage manner.
Lord Bruno nodded his head again.
“TI understand it all, and sympa- thize with you. But tell me, Rex, did this white goddess have golden hair or raven locks—I am not asking for simple curiosity—it is a matter of the deepest importance to me?’’
“Tier hair fell over her shoulders in a mass like spun gold—that was what gave her appearance such a startling effect, and I have no doubt has much to do with the fact of her being worshipped there as an idol.’’
‘Tell me truly, my friend, was she anything like the face in this lock- et?”’ asked the English artist, with trembling voice.
Rex began to realize that the mo- tive of his companion was a serious one. He had hardly let his eyes rest upon the features painted with the skill of a genius upon the ivory tab- let than he gave utterance to an ex- clamation. Lord Bruno caught his arm.
“For God's sake tell me quickly,” he broathed.
“It is very, very gimilar, and brings back vividly to my mind the picture that chained my attention there among the African hills. Yes, I would even dare venture to say this is the portrait of the fair being whom those black warriors sought favor from ere starting upon the warpath —yet that is incredible—impossible, since I have seen you wear this lock- et for years.”’
He looked at the Englishman in a thoughtiul way, as though endeavor- ing to solve the riddle which had pre gented itself.
Lord Bruno again fastened it to his ehain.
“You will be surprised my boy, when I tell you this miniature is a portrait of one Who was very dear to me—of my sainted mother, taken when she Was a charming girl, the fairest in all the country. Yes, there is a sad story back of it all. You shall hear it in good time, but this is no place to uncover the family skeleton. At least you know why I am determined to see her face to face and set at rest certain suspicions that have arisen of late to disturb my mind. It is not a story one loves to dwell upon, Rex, but you are my friend, my brother I had al- most said, and in good time you Shall hear all. Until then withhold your judgment I beg. Now finish tel- ling me what occurred on the night you saw the white god appear to the Zam bodi.’’
So Hastings went on.
‘‘As she stood there upon the ledge, she suddenly raised her voice sang. Heavens! such a voice, Bruno —I have heard Patti and many queens of song, but they never filled me With the satisfaction, the sense of ecstatic delight that crept over my very soul then.
‘‘Perhaps the refarkable surround- ings had something to do with it, for you must confess every element of the romantic was present.
‘‘And what do you think she sang
— ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ It affected me weirdly. I seemed to _ realize that here was a bird caged against
her will and fluttering her poor wings against the cruel bars, haunted per- haps by the memory of days far back in the dim past.
“T remember looking down to see what effect Payne’s famous melody had upon the assembled blacks, for you know they say ‘music hath charms to soothe the savage breast’; and sure enough the whole vast as- semblage seemed swayed and awed as I have never seen an audience moved before.
“Then suddenly the plaintive air gave place to a weird melody — to words that were foreign to my ear but to which the professor listened eagerly—you see he knows a smat- tering of nearly every tongue spoken since Lahal was erected.

She Was Pale and Languid
Yoo Nervous to Sleep, and Dally Crew Weaker and Weaker—Dr. Chase's Nerve Food Restored Health and Vigour.
Mrs. E. McLaughlin, 95 Parliament street, Toronto, states:—* My daughter was pale, weak, languid, and very nery- ous. Her appetite was poer and change- able. She could searcely drag herself about the house, and her nerves were completely unstrugg. She coypld not sleep for more than half an hour ata time without starting up and crying out in excitement.
“As she was growing weaker and weaker I became alarmed, and obtain- ed a box of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food. She used this treatment for several weeks, and from the first we noticed a decided improvement. Her appetite be- came better, she gained in weight, the colour returned to her face, and she gradually became strong and well. cannot say too much in favour of this wonderful treatment, since it has prov- en such a blessing to my daughter.”
Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food is a blood- builder and nerve vitalizer of most un- vsaal merit. In pill form, bc. a be
