His lordship knew what this meant, for he had made a special study of the cowboy's peculiarities.

But Lord Bruno was disappointed. He had arranged his plans, and it

up. The motive that urged him on Was one that had been born in the heart. He had fostered it for many days and dreamed of it at night, un-

til the idea of finding in this mystic goddess of the Zambodi the one Who been lost to kindred and friends had become the ruling passion of his life. What to him ings of Rex Hastings, for the Golden Fleece, or the equally mad desire of the French savant in- tent on disovering that strange freak long spoken of as the ‘‘missing link,’’ and which was to send his name down the ages in harmony with such honored ones’ as Darwin and Spencer? The motives of the Eng-

That is why he contemplated the

possible rising of the impis with a clouded brow. It was not any craven fear of personal danger, for Waterford had been in the army dur- ing his younger days, and demon- strated that he was a man who knew not the meaning of the word——upon the hot sands of Egypt with the col-

Lord Bruno was not the man to let his feelings get the better of his judg- ment. He knew just as soon as he heard Bludsoe’s warning, that their business was to get out of the sacred crater as speedily as possible.

So far as they knew, there was but the one means of gaining the outer world. That was via the narrow, oblique shelf along which they had so cautiously picked their way when descending from the ragged black cliffs.

as much equanimity as he does her favors. Nothing occurred to disturb them

while they pressed through copse and over biasted rocks, so that the wall was speedily gained.

Jim’s judgment was as true as steel, for he had guided them to the identical place they wished to reach. So much for his faculty of observa- tion, which long practice had made almost perfect.

Jim led off, with Lord Bruno at his heels, the others stringing out,

Up they climbed.

The narrow ledge was sufficient to give a foothold, but in places they were compelled to be very cautious lest a slip might prove fatal.

Half the distance had been covered and as yet no note of. warning pase- ed along the line. It Was good. Their spirits arose, and hope once More came to the fore.

Then came the shock.

Bludsoe had started to around an angle, when his ea: rle eye detected a sudden movement bey ond. True to his instincts the plainsman instantly flattened himself out on the narrow ledge, and none too soon, for something Went hissing through space Just where his body had been, to bury itself in the depths below— something that cut the air with a sound never to be mistaken—some — that carried death in its whis- tle

It was Zambodi assegai or spear.

Ordinarily Jim would have been prompt to snatch a revolver from his belt, and return the courtesy with a few leaden cards that must have voiced his feelings; but under the pe- culiar conditions he was averse to making such a response just now, since it would positively throw off the mask, and give notice of their presence.

Hence, his first act was to shuffle back around the angle, much as a crab might retreat in the face of danger. Luckily there was room enough betweer Lord Bruno and him- self to allow this movement.

The line no longer kept in motion, but its constituent members came to a stop, and huddled as close to- gether as the narrow limits of their footing would admit.

All had heard the angry hiss ac- companying the passage of the as-

segai that had shot through blank space, and no explanation was need- ed. They simply waited to hear what Bludsoe had in his mind—to carry oUt any suggestions he might offer.

After all, it was Hobson’s choice, since to retreat meant in all proba- bility annihilation in the crater, and they could not stay where they were.

The two leaders had their heads together and were busily engaged in ‘ deciding what should be their line of action. Since the alarm had al-. ready been quietly given, what differ- ence would it make should they take | prompt and decisive action? The’ path must be cleared at all hazards, | come What might. Once out of the great hole it would devolve upon them to meet the assault of the black legions, and where force would not avail let Anglo-Saxon wit take its place.

So the decision was speedily made

they must force the passage at all hazards.

Bludsoe again advanced, but this Lime he was more cautious, knowing that a vindictive foeman crouched around the sharp angle, no doubt with a second assegai raised ready to be hurled with all the force of a mighty arm.

Rex peering over the hunched shoul- ders of Lord Bruno could see that the cowboy had halted just at the point Where the rock turned. He appeared busily engaged with some- thing, and Rex found his curiosity aroused when he saw the wind frolic- ing with the long locks of Jim Blud- soe.

Ah! now he made another move, pushing something out in front, so as to make its presence known around the angle, something which at first was a mystery to Rex, but he suddenly awoke to the fact that it was the cowboy’s head gear, fasten- ed to the end of a torch.

It was a venerable trick, a regular old chestnut along the frontier where Bludsoe had learned the ropes of his

trade, and one he might have really been ashamed to have heen caught |

practicing; but there wag always an even chance that it had not become so familiar 44 the Sguth African im- pis

Again was heard that péciitiar rushing sound, so associated with the swift flight of an assegai from a practiced hand——the sombrero wus violently shaken, for the keen point ed dart had passed entirely through it with the utmost ezase.

Bludsoe laughed outright at the eagerness with which his black foe- man above had bitten at the bait; but even while thus giving vent to his appreciation of the good fortune that had befallen him, the cowboy was quick to set himself jn motion.

Nervous and Debilitated.

Almost a Victim of Nervous Prostration —Was Restored to Heaith 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, she began to ''se it, and was benefitted from the ver, (rst. It proved an ex- | cellent remedy in restoring Pane to health and strength. 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 of in- estimable value. It makes the blood red, the nerves strong, and the whole system hea‘thy and vigorous. 50c a box
