; Hastings examined his revolver which he found in first-rate condition. Then he reached out and pickea » the asserai to which h had clung while escaping from the! vicinity of the scene where his deadly | duel with the war chief had occur- | red. ;

It was Walkulle’s assegai, and as fine a stick as could be run across |} from Zululand to Damaraland on the} west coast.

iis next move was to extinguish the light so that the. little cabin

should be wrapped in darkness. This done he too stepped outside,

desirous of being a witness to the} strange scene about to oceur.

The first thing that attracted his attention was the weird light aris-

Ins

from a myriad of blazing torches

carried by the crowd of blacks on the |

steep hillside.

Rex stepped forward to find a place where he could see without exposing himself, for the tumult was enough to arouse his curiosity, even if his life had not been in prril.

What he saw he never forgot. It Was a picture to haunt an artist’s dreams—a page from the nether world, a mingling of countless black and painted faces, and flashing smoking flambeaux.

Ye gods, what a weird spectacle. He forgot for the moment that it was his life they sought, and only measured the scene as a basis upon which a masterpiece fit for the best hanging at the Paris Salon could be built.

This sensation more practical. What was about to happen—wovld the mad impis for- eet their veneration for the fair god- @dess, and overwhelm her in their search for the person who had slain their chief?

Rex noticed with uneasiness that some of those in the advance were bending over as they edvanced,

He did not require the training of

they had followed his tracks from be- side the smouldering council fire where the valiant Walkulla fell, to the retreat of the white god.

Did they know the war chief had been slain by a hated paleface—-per- haps Walkulla had retained sufficient strength to inform them with his last breath, or possibly the foot- prints revealed this much to their keen eyes.

The main thing of course was the means to be employed in baffling their fury.

All depended on the girl.

Rex drew back and glanced toward her as she stood upon an elevation.

A peculiar glow began to surround her form, an unearthly white light

very like that produced by electricity. Her figure stood out like a pale sta- tue. She had discarded the black robe and Was now as he had first seen her, an angelic being in purest white.

As the peculiar light increased even Rex was astonished—it seemed to proceed from the figure itself, just as may be seen in the glow-worm or the fire-fly. Of he knew the cause Was sone ingenious contriv- ance which had been arranged by her

voiume as those below: caugnt signt of the girl at whose shrine they had Worship; ed these vears. She spoke to them in their own tongue, and an answer came back What was said Rex could only sur- tuise, but he felt sure it concerned

him.

Curiosity again urged him to glance

over the edge. A few of the blacks were on their knees, but the main throng stood erect. Rebellion was in the air-—--the evil influence of old liassaje had made itself felt, and Ouly by a supreme effert could the lair god regain her superiority over | these Wavering superstitious minds,

sO prone to be led by a show of power.

Could she do it?

Somehow he had a great faith in her ability to cope with this new di- lemma,

One thing he noticed, and this was the absence of the witch-doctor. had he not kept up with the procession—was he deep in for the overthrow white god?

Apparently she was explaining the presence of a stranger in some way to excite their wonder—perhaps she even hinted that it was the spirit of

sophistry and

of

| the departed returned to hold com-

munion with her. They were inclin- ed to scoff at the idea, and she felt called upon to draw on her resources, as bequeathed to her by her father.

These were simple enough in the eyes of one accustomed to the won- ders of the latter-end of our present century; but when a hand mirror or a string of colored beads arouses the cupidity of a savage beast, small

things appear gigantic before their vision. So With a wave of the hand she

caused the white light to turn intoa ruby glow, and then gradually into a pale green.

More heads went down, while those figures that still held forth were wavering between the dread that made their hearts sick, and a sullen dependence upon the crafty witch doctor who had asaured them he had the wires Jaid to overcome this wo- may spirit Whose influence had ever been in the line of peace, rather than the natural aggressiveness of their race.

Then the girl brought about a cli- max—it was such a little thing that Rex would have laughed only for the grave consequences resting upon it—

merely the commonest of all fire- works, known far and wide as a Roman candle, but to those black

Warriors a sputtering fire-demon bearing flaming messages of red and blue from dread M’limo.

Perhaps she had never sion to use one of these before.

At any rate its effect on the most obstinate of the Zambodj warriors was profound,

They gazed awe-struck upon the spouting shower of sparks, but when with a barg a fiery red ball shot up over their heads, to mysteriously dis- appear, there was a howl of mortal terror, and to a man they threw themselves upon their knees.

And with each report, the flight of the colored ball was accompanied by a chorus of groans and cries that promised poor returns for the pro- phet Hassaje’s future dealings with his wretched people.

The victéry Seemed Won, for the blacks would not dare advance upon the retreat of their white god after this exhibition of her intercourse with the terror by night, the spirit of the hilis, dread M’limo himself.

When Rex arrived at this pleasant solution to the problem, he sudden- ly remembered tnrere was one Person not taken into consideration when thus settling the matter.

The witch doctor!

Where was Hassaje the cunning manipulator of charms, the magician who would invoke a blessing or a curse, who talked with M’limo in the thunder of the storm, and received his messages on the forked lightning that scorched the towering oak or brought death to the huddled cat- tle!

Rex knew, and the information came to him with a shock.

He caught sight of a skulking fig- ure that crawled and crept along foot by foot in the rear of the shining form of the girl; and he’ knew this must be the desperate conqueror who had resolved to stake his all upon ene effort to regain his lost hold on the minds of his former slaves, in danger of being emancipated by the strenger influence of his girl rival.

Yes, he had crawled up a secret path while the others advanced along the face of the hill, his object being to come upon the white object of worship from the rear, to take her by surprise as it Were, and thus bring her reign to an end.

Heaven looked not with favor upon his dark plans.

No sooner had Hastings discovered the crafty witch man than he knew

down Rex would not have aimed more deliberateiy. He saw that Hassaje had slowly

arisen—that he held something in his hand, something that glittered in the

flash of the fountain of sparks. it Was a knife, perhaps a _ poisoned blade. Some of these Zulus and Zam-

bodi warriors show amazing skill in casting such

a Weapon even at a distance of ten yards, and it was

evidently the intention of the zealous witch-doctor to send this blade hurt- Itng through space, directed at the beautiful figure in white, emblematic of purity.

Hastings’ intentions were all right, but. he did not have occasion to use his firearm.

The girl suddenly turned and point- ed directly at the magician, who had even drawn back his arm as if to inmake the cast.

Rex caught his breath, but Hassaje caught something more, for a sput- tering fiery cotton ball of intensest scarlet hue shot out of the little tube she held—its last stroke as it prov-

ed—and struck him fairly between the eyes, as though directed by a sharpshooter.

It was a beautiful sight.

The witch-doctor’s desperate valor Was not proof against such an_ on-

set.

He gave a seream that would have shamed a terrified elephant, and for- getting all about his desire to re- gain his old-time supremacy, thought only of escape.

When Rex saw him scrambling over the brink, while still covering the squat figure he refrained from firing. It was just as well, since the magi- cian’s one idea was to put a little space between his precious body and the spouting fire-god. He fairly tum- bled over the edge, and Rex could hear him rolling down the steep, now on his head and angn on his back, shrieking imprecations and in- cantations in the Zambodi tongue as only a sadly demeralized priest would be capable of doing.

Ai all events the evil maghinations of the desperate’ sorcerer had been brought to naught, and for the pres- ent at least the refuge of the fair god- dess remained sacred.

CHAPTER XXII. MAID MIRIAN.

Gradually the sounds of excitement

died away. The black warriors, when their lovely goddess had van-

ished, lost no time in sneaking down the hillside, as though afraid to re main longer near such sacred ground. But they did not return to the kraal. Rex could see the glow of their tor- ches through the trees, and now and then a puff of air from that quarter would bring to his ears the sound of a high pitched voice which he knew belonged to the demoralized charlatan. Hassaje Was not yet ready to give up the fight, while an arrow remained jn his quiver or his scheming tind could plot new de signs.

The girl had discovered Hastings’ presence near by, and seemed affected by it, as though she could under- stand what motive had _ influenced him to thus issue forth. Perhaps she had also known of his design upon the life of the necromancer, for he still held his weapon in his hand when, garbed again in her sombre robe, she came to his side.
