So, while their “weapons still held a/few more’ charges, the two fugi- tives ceased finnge.

Hastings snatched at the spear upon which his Snialler ally was in one sense impaled; but it required his ut- most strength to tear it loose from

So Hastings again applied himself to the task of distributing the re mainder of his leaden pills with a discrimination that was influenced by the audacity of the assailants; ant since little of his ammunition went to vaste, it can he set down as positive that his wonderful nerve served him as faithfully in this crisis as it had in times gone by.

Brief though the time that had elapsed since the advent of the first black warrior on the scene, those of the enemy who fortunately escaped the fire of the compatriots had rush- ed in close enough to discharge their own Weapons toward the spot where

a cloud of powder smoke told ef oc- cupancy. Some were armed with guns of

modern make, for long contact with the gold and diamond hunters had made the Matabele and their sable allies familiar with such engines of destruction, and while possibly the owners might have no just claim to the title of sharpshooters, still were able to keep pumping at their engines of war, and send a swarm of bullets toward the center of the dis- turbance, that hurtled and hissed about the ears of the besieged with the noisy venom of angfy bees.

Numerous war spears also came singing through space, nor was the singular whirr of the deadly Zulu as- segia unheard.

Hastings had been wounded in sev- eral places; but none of them were seriolis ctits, and in the fever of bat- tle he hardly took notice of the fact.

Hearing a thud close at his elbow ne turned his head to see a Makalaka spear pinning poor Julés to, the tree;

but his feeling of horror was dissi- pated upon discovering that’ the squirming professor had really not

been seriously injured, since the Wwea-

Thus, in ar instant, the battle had become a hand.to hand affair, where fierce biowWs were exchanged, where the discharge of a firearm was muf- fled by the fact of its being pressed

against a human form, where two whites, back to back, were pitted

against a horde of cruel and merciless foes, eager to drink their bleod. The sword of Damocles hung pended by a siugle thread. . So the lives of these twain seemed on the very brink—the passage of one minute would mark their transi- from this world into the next. that minute proved long to save them from such a

SUS-

tion But enough fate. Alone it were utterly impossible for them to win, and actually figured the chance of relief coming to them in this wild country north of Mata-

beleland was about one in a thous- and. . Yet it came, such are the vagaries

of fate—it came when even the stout heart of that hopeful son of Illinois had given up all expectation of sur- viving, so that he only fought on with the grim resolution of despair.

Aboxe the tempest of war cries that sounded in his ears, Rex sudden- ly heard shouts that he feared must be the creation of a disordered brain —shouts that could come from none other than “axon throats — shotits that, raised in unison formed a migh- ty ‘hurrah’ that dwarfed the screams of the blacks as the thunder of the tempest might overshadow the feeble growl of cannon.

The struggling mass of sable war- riors that desperately endeavored to ervch in upon the two white heroes also heard this shout from the for- est.

To them it was the most dreaded sound upon earth. «Phey had = on numerous occasions engaged with the sturdy sons of England’who cuardeu the border land. ~-Desperate battles ha@ been fought in the days gone by, and these black warriors from bitter experience had come to respect the prowess of the police employed by the British South Africa Company, as well as to fear Cecil Rhodes, the wiz- ard whose hand controlied the des- tinies of this promising land.

Confusion immediately seized upon the assailants. Their glow of. posi- tive victory gave way to sudden de- spair.

Many turned and ran, hardly know- ing in which direction the danger lay.

A few remained as if in the hope of accomplishing the death of the two fugitives ere themselves seeking safety’ in flight.

Flying figures could now _be seen through the rifts of powder smoke— figures mounted .on horses, and dash- ing “hither and yon with a ranidity that could only have, been equaled by Bedouwins of the désert. °

From, these galloping figures« there came flash after flash, and the rapid percussion of reports proclaimed a condition of affairs that edtld not be other than unhealthy for the unfor- tunate blacks who had lingered in the vicinity of the scene too long.

By this time Hastings had’ succeed- ed in downing tae last foerhan who remained too obstinate for flight.

Somehow a spark of fire had fallen among some dead leaves and twigs under the tree, so that # little blaze now leaped up.

Professor Jules had a weakness in the line of a fire, and eagerly tossed some fragments of branches ‘on the blaze, Which of course sprang up higher.

Towards this figure, standing there, came One of the mounted rescuers, a man Whose deep voice had rung out with a leonine roar“as he urged his men to action.

Springing from his steed he advane- ed directly to Rex, who presented ra-

ther,an heroic appearance, with blood-streaked face and clothing showing the desperate conditions

through which he had just passed. As the firelight fell upon the fea- tures of the stalwart newcomer, Pex leaned forward to assure himself that he was not dreaming, and then foun tongue to exclaim: =< ‘Lord Bruno, by my lifet You cam up in the nick of time, Waterford, just as We Were about to go under.”’

‘Jove! I know that voice, but I’’l Wager, your. own mother would fail to recognoze. you with that bloody face. Yes, I have heard a’ voice like that, but it is incredible——’’

*“Not at all,’ declared Rex, cheer- ily, as he thrust out his hand.

‘Rex Hastings! Gad! this is. the biggest surprise of my life. Glad to see you-——why, I couldn’t. be. more so if it was a brother. But what under heaven are you doing up in this hot-bed of idolatry and fetish worship?’’ was what the other ex- claimed as he wrung the proffered hand again and again, and even seemed tempted to indulge in a bear- like hug. :

“You mean down in this country, for we have come from the north, over deserts, thraugh the densest of forests, down ‘rivers, fighting our wav for months through the heart of

Africa. I really began to believe our long pilgrimage was «bout to end right here, but a kind fate sent you

in time. I could not have selected a more welcome saviour, had I been given the choice, tham my old friend of the Quartjer Latin in Paris, where we spent suth happy days, sharing one another’s troubles and pleas- ures.”’

“What! do you mean to tell me you two have made this terrible journey alone?’’ gasped the other, surveying the professor with considerable re- spect, seeing which Jules immediately puffed out his chest with the pride of a true son of Gascony.

‘“‘Bless you, not at all. Our people numbered forty odd when we left the coast with the permission of the Sultan of Zanzibar, and struck into the wilderness.’’

‘‘But——where now?’’

‘“‘Gone, every mother’s son of ‘em. Many deserted from time to time, a few were killed, and others fell into the hands of the terrible head-hunt- ers of the far interior. We lost our last man to-day, poor Friday, the one faithful fellow of the lot.’’

‘But tell me, my dear fellow, what sort of an expedition did you engi- neer? It is plain to be seen this ventleman is a man of science’ ’—for the professor was eagerly endeavor- ing to discover what damage had been done to his specimens——‘‘but un-

the deuce are they

less you have developed the mania since we parted, my old artistic

friend Rex Hastings was hardly the man to endure the dangers and hard- ships of such a tremendous undertak- ing in a search for specimens.”’

Hastings glanced around after the manner of a man who would not Care to have his secret heard by other ears than those for which it was intend- ed.

‘“‘You shall know all, Bruno, but not now, not here. It is as amazing a story as ever a_ Rider Haggard dreamed. It will thrill you.to hear it in detail. Wait for a more fitting opportunity. The idea has suddenly flashed, into nmiy mind that there may be something more than accident in this singular meeting of two old art chums in the depth of a South Afri- can forest——that it means destiny— that perhaps you too may be enthus- ed by the wonderful story I shall-pre- sently spin, and catching some of the inspiration that has urged me to un- dertake such an apparently wild- goose chase, combine your forces With mine for success.”’

* ** Jove! you arouse my keenest curiosity, my dear fellow. Take pit: on’ my well-known impetuesity, and don’t let many hours elapse before you, raise the veil and allow mea peep at the myStery.”

Nervous and Debilitated.

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

Mrs. D. W. OCronsberry, 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 ecttention required at her work. Her nerves were so exhausted, and she was sO weak and debilit that she had to giv@ up’ work éntifely, and was almost a victim of nervous prostration.

*‘ Hearing of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food, che began to use ft, and was benefitted from the very first. It proved an ex- rellent remedy in restoring ‘ her ‘to acalth and strength. After haying used four boxes she is now at work ugain, healthy and happy, and attri- ..tes her recovery to the use of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food.”

As a blood builder and nerve restora- tive, Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food !s of in- estimable value. It makes the blood red, the nerves strong, and the whole wystem hes!thy and vigorous. 50c a box —at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto,
