he felt proud of them, proud of be- ing associated with them. Like the first made assault, this
one also proved a failure. though the Matabele would not give up until they had lost frightfully.
This time they endeavored to counterbalance the effect of the tor- rent of lead which the besieged let . loose, by a flight of assegais and Various weapons.
Many of these failed to cover the distance and struck the face of the rock, only to fall back again; but there were some that had been hurled With muscular force that sent them among the defenders.
Red Eric had one in his thigh, luck- | ily with little damage, the dauntless l’'rench professor was seen tugging at a shaft that had penetrated his coat and pinned him to the ground, while Lludsoe came within an ace of yield- ing up his life then and there, a keep pointed assegai grazing his head as he jerked back out of the way.
i ‘
When the baifled assailants drew sullenly off, those on the _ heights breathed more freely. A few more
such mad assaults and their limited stock of ammunitiou would be gone, When annihilation must ensue.
So the night swathed them about With her mantle of darkness. Never was night more ungraciously receiv- ed, for in her train she brought new perils to the beleaguered little band of hardy adventurers—concealed by her dark robes the cunning enemy would seek to develop other schemes
for overwhelming those whom they had twice assailed without result, save the decimating of their num- ber.
Biudsoe foresaw great trouble ahead, and he endeavored to arrange for a saving in the line of ammuni- tion.
Rocks were plentiful, and there was nothing to hinder them from accum, ulating these jagged fragments in cer- tain places where they could be of the most positive value. When these were rained down upon the defense- less heads of the impis, the result must be disastrous. No doubt they would then screen themselves under their rhinoceros hide shields, but in so doing it would necessarily expose them to the full force of the pitiless streams of lead. Besides, when a rock weighing perhaps one cr two hundred pounds drops some distance it is sure to acquire such frightful momentum that the unlucky savage below is apt
to find himself flattened out iike a pancake under his shield. Burnham and his companion had
-onducted themselves as brave men sheuld, and were of inestimable as
i-tenee to those whom they had se 3trangely met.

there was a chance that help could be brought in time.
It was the only hope, and almost a forlorn one at that.
Few men would take the risk cov- ered by such a ride, with the scales against them; but braver hearts nev- er beat than those of the twain who plunged into a hostile country to rid South Africa of a monster.
Preparations followed, though little could be done.
Every scrap of food and all spare who Belts were tighten- ed, saddle girths and bridles examin- ed, and Burnham even partially muf- fled the hoofs of the horses the better to insure silence. His experience was apt to prove valuable under such con- ditions. i
Hardly had the night settled’ in than they discovered something cal- culated to give them an uneasy feel- ing.
A fire sprang into existence, then another and still another, until a semicircle of flame stretched around
but
, the side of the rocky mound.
The object of this was plain enough —-their enemies did not intend that those whom they besieged should creep off under cover of darkness and elude them.
Of course this crescent of flame made the task of the two bold riders the more difficult, and increased the chances of disaster overtaking them; but having embarked in the enter- prise they could not be headed by even such possible disaster.
The time came at last, when the two men squeezed a hand of every one they were leavgg. Lord Bruno caine to the top of the defile to see the thing through. A _ whispered word, another hand-shake and they were gone, sWallowed up in the gloom below, while the others crouched there on the rocks, counting the seconds and listening with their hearts, so to speak, in their mouths,
CHAPTER XXX. TO DO OR. DIE;
There are times, in the. life experi- ence of all men when seconds seem hours, so fraught with grave respon- sibilities is each little fragment that goes to make up, a minute.
Such was the anxiety of the band of © fugitives, stranded upon that rocky mount that it seemed ages since Burnham, and Armstrong had left them before a sign of their pres- ence became evident below; and yet they understood full well that this very silence was the most favorable thing that could happen, since it de- clared most positively the success of the bold scouts in descending the narrow defile.
There came a sudden shout.
This was instantly followed by a shot, and immediately from _ scores of savage throats went up such a chorus of yells that the very air seemed to quake.
‘*‘Yonder they go!*’ exclaimed Lord Bruao,
Every eye was glued upon the spot where a tremendous commotion be- came visible. Black figures could be
seen bounding toward that focal point from every direction, figures
that moved their arms frantically, and made all manner of warlike ges- tures, figures that were fierce enough to cause a qualm of alarm in thg¢ bravest breasts.
Ah! other fofms were in it—swift as a gleam of light two horses dash- ed into view bearing down upon the fires, those in the saddle bending low in order to take the smallest possible chance of being struck by flving assegai or spear.
Over the fire with grand leaps the horses Were urged. Burnham had wisely blinded the eyes of the ani- mals, knowing how next to impossi- ble it would be to induce them to attempt such a thing unless some similar precaution were taken.
For half a dozen seconds there was the greatest excitement imaginable— the quick detonation of firearms and the shouts of the impis combined to make a fearful clamor.
Then it died away and all still.
“I believe they made it,’’ said Lord Bruno, who was laboring un- der intense excitement himself.
Bludsoe echoed his words,
was

“Tf they’n gone down shouts of victory from boys below. That means defeat,’’ he said.
All bent heads to listen, while straining eyes surveyed the dark ex- panse beyond the fires.
A minute passed—several of them, and their suspense became painful.
Then a tongue of fire clove the gloom a couple of miles away, im- mediately suceeded by a second,and the two reports presently reached their ears. xX
‘“The signal—they have made it, by Jove!’’ burst out Lord Bruno.
‘Thank God!”’ said Hastings, over whom a sensation of positive

swept.
At least this little hope remained, and if they could only keep their savage foes at bay through the
night the chances of succor arriving during the next day were good.
Armstrong and his companion knew full well where to go, and mounted on good steeds, with the lives of the little party at stake, they would exhaust every eadeavor to succeed.
Iinglishmen never refuse to answer an appeal for aid, no matter what the danger involved.
Ire now they have penetrated the Sahara and made forced marches over a thousand miles of hostile territory to rescue a solitary fellow-country- man held a prisoner by the King of Dahomey or some rajah of Farther India.
Then began a night never to be for- gotten.
Not an hour of it but what they were engaged in some way.
The cunning Matabele seemed _ de- termined to exhaust every artifice which could be conceived before com- bining for a grand assault. Their severe losses on the two former oc- casions appeared to make them a trifle shy about venturing up that miniature canyon. Perhaps they had some knowledge of the avalanche of ragged projectiles waiting to be turned loose upon the first provoca- tion, and shrank from the encounter. At least such a grand movement was kept as a sort of dernier ressort, to be attempted when all other tactics failed.
Bludsoe and his heroes could not expect a moment’s sleep. They must be on the qui vive every second of the night, for no one could tell when or where the crafty Matabele would strike, and surely eternal vigilance was the price of safety under’ such circumstances as these.
An hour had scarcely elapsed since the flight of the two scouts, when Red Eric detected a movement in a quarter where they had not believed an attack could be made.
The face of the rocky wall was so{ steep that it did not seem as though human beings could climb it; but! these dwellers of the South African wilderness were next to monkeys in agility, and nothing seemed impossi- ble to them.
He gave no alarm, but the word was quietly passed around, and when a collection of stones both large and small had been laid in, the bombard-~ ment began.
It was quite a fierce little affair while it lasted, for some of the ene- my had managed to effect a lodgment im places higher up than was _ sus-~ pected, and taking advantage of the excitement these dare-devils attempt- ed to carry the fortress.
One thing Was against them—Rex had been placed on guard = and erouched down near the centre of the enclosure he could see the outline of the rocky ramparts marked against the heavens.
The instant a dusky figure appeared in view above this, Hastings’ gun spoke, and the result was disastrous to the would-be invader.
Meanwhile Jim Bludsoe and Bruno kept guard over the defile, casting an occaeional rock into the depths in order to ascertain whether moving forms had entered; but the time had not come for this. By de- grees the allies might work their courage up to the point of despera- tion, and then would come the tug of war.
This first little hrush Was soon over, and a careful survey from all sides assured Bludsoe that the field was clear, pati

What You Pay For Medicine
is no Teet of fte Curative Value—Pre- soriptions Versus Dr. Chase’s Kidmey-
Liver Pille. 3
Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills are juat as much a doctor's prescription as any formula your family physician can sive you. The difference is that Dr.
hasée’s Kidney-Liver Pills were per- fected after the formula had proven it- gelf of inestimable value in scores of hundreds of cases.
Dr. Chase won almost as much popu- larity from his ability to cure kidney disease, Mver complaint, and backache, with this formula, as he did from the publication of his great recipe book.
The idea of one treatment reaching the kidneys and liver at the same time was original with Dr. Chase. It ac- counts for the success of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills in curing the most complicated .ajlments of the filtering organsaig nd every form of backache.
As a family medicine Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are pproacheé. They keep the kidneys, , and bow- thy, active, and regular, and se prevent and cure nine-tenths of the illa to ven humanity is subject, One 25 cents a box, at all deal
