would be able to reproduce it at any moment, with all its hideous accom- paniments

The Englishman had looked upon many remarkable things in his day, for he had spent years in restless Wandering in strange lands where scenes bordeffng on the fantastic and the bizarre could be found, to illus- trate the pages of his magazine and interest an eager public; but he stood ready to that he had never run across a more fascinating theme for brush and pencil than the gather- ing of the black clans around the witch-doctor’s green council fire, to- gether with their fetish dance.

Perhaps a stone rolled under him or his hand slipped just when it should have been steadiest. At any rate, While upon the narrowest part of the ledge he was heard to scramble, and Hastings,, who was just ahead, upon twisting his head to discover what had gone amiss, was just in time to see the cowboy slip over the edge. The sight gave him a severe shock, and he strained his ears in the en- deavor to hear when the poor devil struck far below, little doubting but

that he would have his brains dash- ed out by the fall.

No such sound reached him, and filled with a curiosity he could not

explain, Hastings, having communi- cated the dire intelligence to the man

ahead craned his neck to look over the ledge.

erly in the direction of the ledge where on his previous visit the fair goddess had appeared to ravish his senses, but alas, she came not.

As the tierce warriors trooped back through the wooden gates of the kraal, the hand of his hearty Eng- lish friend fell on his shoulder.

‘‘Come,’’ said Lord Bruno, ‘‘now to the great work we have cut out for ourselves.’’

CHAPTER IX.

HOW THEY WENT DOWN INTO KROKATO,

Indeed, the task which these bold argonauts of the South African wilderness had set for themselves, '

that ad- but would

Was a stupendous achievement, might well stagger the most venturous of men, and .none those of Anglo-Saxon blood have dared undertake it.

To venture into the enemy’s coun- try where the foot of a white man had seldom if ever pressed, and in- vade the sacred crater of old Kro- kato in search of a treasure that had lain there for ages—one would be apt to believe this a dream jured up in the mind of a mad- man; and yet here was a little come pany of free lances pledged to carry, the wonderful scheme to a_ succesg- ful termination or leave their bones among the kopijes.

‘The councii fire was burning low, and the monotonous tom-tom of the war drum had finally ceased, for which they were sincerely thankful, as it had tortured their ears while in blast.

Again they crept along that nar- row ledge and lost sight of the kraal with its mundreds of pointed lodges, teeming with black life.

The soul of the artist had been deeply stirred by the picture upon which his eyes had just rested. It

appealed to his nature, and had been se imvoressed upon his mind that he

Thus Hastings was quick to dis- cover an object that dangled seven feet or more down the face the cliff. and which upon closer tiny he Was’ constrained to _ believe imust be the body of a desperate man.

Red Eric had clutched some project-

some of

scru-

ing root or rock, to which he Was clinging with a grip like that of death.

To climb’ the face of that blank wall was an utter impossibility,

while if he released his hold, the only result must be a mangled mass of hu- manity on the rocks below. Rex felt powerless to lend ance to the imperiled cowboy, ready

assist-

though he was to tax his strength or his agility in any effort that might suggest itself.

But there were others.

Jim Bludsoe chanced to be the man ahead of Rex, and he understood the situation instantly. When he had hustled his way back to a point that Was just above his comrade, he took a hitch over a spur of rock with his lariat, and dropped the loop with un-

| erring precision upon the man who hung suspended below.

How Red Eric ever got it under his arms was a puz zie, but he managed it, and _ while the others laid hold to steady the rope, the reckless fellow came up hand over hand after the manner of a Jack Tar.

Though panting heavily from his ex- ertions he seemed to be rather tickled over his narrow ‘‘squeak’’ as he term- ed it, than anything else. It took considerable to alarm this dare-devil, who yearned for adventure with all the eagerness shown by a Don Quix- ote.

When the hedge was leit behind Hastings drew a breath of relief, for there had always been a chance that any of them might’ take the dizzy plunge, and he hardly dared hops that in case it fell to him to lose his footing he would be quite as fortun- ate as Eric.

Still higher they mounted, climbing over the rough elevations and push- ing a passage through brush that op- posed them. Hastings kept his wits wide-awake, for to him was entrust- ed the task of serving as guide to the expedition, and the success or failure attending their movements would de- pend a great deal on how well he re- membered his bearings.

Considering the fact that he had only been in this vicinity once before, and then while the night held sway, he was really doing remarkably well.

So they scrambled and worked their way up the side of the extinct vol- cano, until the edge of the crater had been gained. Once upon a time,ages ago, a magnificent cone must have towered above this vast cavity, which had been gradually undermined by the fierce fires below, and finally, during some ancient eruption more violent than its predecessors, this crown had been blown off, leaving the awful gulf of boiling lava, which as centuries rolled on, cooled, became covered with soil, and finally posses- sed a growth of rank vegetation.

he crater was now a valley, sur r ied on all sides by walls of dark stoné—n valley where in years long, long ago, some people who inhabited wae land had built a temple, which

DS bushes and vines.

To descend into this dark abyss was a difficult task, and one that

might have brought the cowboys’ las- soes into play,. only that Hastings’ memory failed him not, and he took them unerringly to the path which ran along the face of the rocky wall.

Lord Bruno noted with consjderable curiosity that this trail had been eut out from the solid rock, and by

mortal hands, but in ages long since

past. Thousands of feet had swept w and down this path. What a strange and interesting story it

could tell if gified with the of speech,

They moved down into what seem- ed the bowels of the earth — silent aS spectres, each man keenly on the alert for danger, and making both hands and feet do service in guarding against such a mishap as fell to Red Eric's share.

All seemed peaceful about them — from the crater came only the sound of some night bird’s song, and the whirr of Wigs close to their ears was - occasioned by the flitting of some bat, disturbed in his crevice by their passing.

Once Lord Bruno knew’ that his leader had passed, but what the

cause of it might be Jim Bludsoe said not.

Hastings too

power

had caught what seemed to be a single flash of light in the valley, and was mystified to guess its meaning. Could it be pos- sible some vagrant. flame from the fires fur below had found an outlet —such a thing was really beyond the bounds of reason. He was more in- clined to lay it to human agency than to believe it a wWill-o’-the-wisp haunting the ruined temple which perhaps also served as a in ages agone.

At any rate, remembering his own experience with the guards who watched the remains of the temple, he was a little worried by the flash-

ing of that light, fearing that it might prove to be a signal which

would bring enemies down upon them with the same eagerness that wolves and hyenas display when running their quarry to earth.

All drew a breath of relief when finally they ceased to longer descend. A streain gurgled at their feet, and several stooped to drink. Hastings looked keenly around in order to get his bearings, while Lord Bruno and the cowboy chief kept very close in order that if necessary they might confer.

There seemed to be something un- canny in the singular condition of the valley—one was bound to be im- pressed with its remarkable history of the past, and in fancy might ex- pect the spirit of those who had wor- shipped at this shrine centuries to marshal themselves in = serried ranks when the desecration of their heathen temple by godless hands was threatened.

Truth to tell, however, these practical invaders who had come search of the Golden Fleece, more worried about’ the they might meet with from the hu- man sources than that proceeding from spirits of the departed.

Hastings had figured upon the mat- ter since his last visit to this mys- terious region, and was firmly con- vinced that there must be some con- necting link between the wizard val- ley of the temple and _ that ledge where the white god had shown her- selfi—some passage underground, con- structed by artful priests for a pur- pose of their own, and utilized under the present regime.

As they once more set themselves in motion, every one of the little com- pany felt his nerves tingling with intense eagerness. The spirit of ad- venture was upon them, and those advocates who worship at this shrine scent the presence of a carnival of riotious action just as readily as the war horse discovers the odor of burnt powder drifting from the bat- tlefield.
