George was not satisfied. He sought out Lcgara. the Masai chief, who had been his fathers friend. Legsra sat taking snuff from his spcar—blade, listening attentively to .he white man‘s plaint.

“A man after gulneafowl in the evening does not wander far," said George. “Dad was too 013 a hand to get lost within a few miles of his home. It a snake had struck’ him. he would have had time to get out in the open and seek help: even a mambo does not kill that quick. I

One day an old Derobo rn'ganga Visited the farm to tell fortunes. The Wanderdac are skilled in the arts of divination; George applied to tlm man for information, prom- ising a fat goat in payment.

The seer resorted to the usual practice of throwing bones on the ground and reading the lie of them. He had often been consulted about rnissihg people. and in such cases be ascribed the loss to either a crocodile, a. lien, or an enemy. There were no crocodiles this far up the river; to accuse anyone of the murder of a white man would make considerable trouble for the accuser; the m‘ganga fell back up- on the remaining explanation.

“The Bwana went out to shoot birds. He was attacked by a. non, and eaten."

“What sort of a. lion?" enquired George eagerly. I

Man-eaters are usually past their prime. “An old, solitary lion," said the m'gana, and congratulated him‘ self on so easily earning h‘a fee.

George did no. press for further details; his suspicions were con- firmed.

A few evenings later, he came on Nnngatn. The old lion had just

"Sounds a dangerous beast," said George. “Why shouldn't it have killed my father,"

“Because its body is now inhab- ited by the spirit of Konyek, the great chief,” replied Iiegara simp- 15'.

George banged his pipe his palm angrily. “What nonsense is this?" he cried.

"It is not nonsens ," said Leagara with dignity. We took our spears against the lions, but the big one escaped. From that day he never attacked the cattle, nor did he mol- at man. The Lybon has said that the spirit of Konyeir has come to live in the beasts body, and thus he watches over his people. Sincei Nangata. has lived amongst: us. there have been good years, the’ rains have been good, the cattle have increased. Moreover. he does not seek the company of other lions; he chases them away. None can withstand him, and therefore we know he is Konyek. for Konye-k gave up wives and friends, and none could overcome him in war. Konyek’s other name was Nan- geia: he was wounded by a man who hid in a tree and threw a club at him."

"I-luml" granted George, perceiv- ing his predicament. "Then the lion is under your protection?"

"It has been prophesied that if he is killed the worst drought in the memory of man will come upon us."

finished his drink; he stood at the drift, looking round him with a contented air, unaware of the man watching him from behind a bush.

George was surprised at the size of the beast. He was a trifle bony in his old age, his hide grizzled and without the gloss of youth, but he had the frame of 8. giant and the bearing of a hero. A thick yellow mane clothed him to beyond the shoulders, his head was huge as a. bolster with this hirsute adornment, and his single eye look- ed out with the glare of leonlne royalty.

But George did not admire him: he resolved to kill the beast by some means and avenge his fath- er. I; must be done with the ut- most secrecy, and it is not easy to

big steel gin. When Nangnta. should be caught, there would not lack means for killing him without advertisement The carcass could be buried, and all traces of the affair concealed. His father should be avenged, even at the cost of s ruinous drought and a feud with the Masai.

Nangata went his way, ignorant of the fate preparing for him. The old lion's powers were at last be- ginning to fail him; his senses were losing their keenness, his limbs were still, and his spirits low. Hunting was becoming very dim- cult, for so quick is the fugitive’s alarm. so cautious his safeguards, that only the most efficient killer may outwit him. And Nangatafls effl- clency was a thing oi’ the past. He had outlived his naiural mm: life had grown weariscme. His mind was bemused with memories of the past, so that at times it seemed dlificult to determine in what stage he existed. As he trod the hunting trail he thought of the great days of his youth, when with eager, frolicxsome companlong he followed the leadership of a. big lion of the plains; he remembered old friends and the happy com- munal life of the pack.

As he dosed in the thicketg he dreamt of favourite mates; felt again the kiss of rough tofltllefii and heard the voices of glorious wil- derness queens for whom he was king. Then he awoke to the silent loneliness of his familiar environ- ments and realised that these an- cient joys were gone, as irrevocably as his energy.

His teeth were blunted. and they ached; he was greatly worried by ticks, which seemed to prey upon him more irritatingly than of old. some imes he had causeiess spasms of rage. when he thouilht that he would kill for rellef—even men. who was not his enemy. It was time for a new king an the Peel.

This year has been an eventful one in that for the first time our Island entertained the delesates and cllicers of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada when the Ninth Biennial Convention conven- ed here in June in conjunction with our Annual convention.

During the year ten new branch- cs were organised namely Pisquid West. Glenfanning. 'mronto Road, Spring Valley. New Haven. Mt. Herbert, Br-eadalbane, North Rustlco and South Milton; two were reorganized, Bear River and Sturgeon, and seven disbanded. The members of the older organ- izations welcome the new members and will always be ready to give 01 their experience in solving any problems which may arise. .

The Institutes to date number two hundred and fifty-one (251) branches. six have failed to send in any reports and consequently did not receive the government grant. Let me, at this point. impress upon the secretaries the need for full re- Darts sent in within the limited time given, if you wish to receive this grant. The lack oi.’ interest in those which are not very active at the present time is due no doubt to the fact that they have lost sisht of the reaiobject of the Women's Institute and are not living up to their creed.
