‘‘Not seriously, I believe.’’

‘Nevertheless you need attention. I have a man here who is a master hand at that sort of thing—a man whom nature made a physician, but «hom a restless desire for the free- dom of the prairies with a blue can- opy overhead caused to become a

ice and called:

“T say, doctor, will you come here, niease?’’

One of the two men on horseback leaped to the ground and approached. ite was decked in the full regalia of

4 ‘‘cow puncher,’’ and even had the neculiar swagger so natural to the daring spirits who spend half of

try after stampeding cattle, or rounding up stray await a brand.

Hastings fancied him on sight and the introduction was marked by 4 hearty hand-shake, for after discover- ‘ne What execution the men at bay had accomplished among the assegai throwers, the doctor felt an uncom- tnoen interest in the hero who could toss lead with such nor was his admiration any the less teen when he discovered that an old time friendship had existed between Rex and his employer:

He with Hastings after a superficial examination, that the wounds which the professor and him- self had received were none of at all serious, and marvelled greatly that they hand come out almost un- seatched from the shower of missiles rained upon the spot by the advanc- ing circle of blacks.

The others now

drew near, and

English spoken again, even if it was im some sense murdered by western idioms, for except the dulcet notes of the professor, he had not heard a voice speak in the mother tongue for over three months.

The first to come was Jim Bludsoe, the leader of the little band, a wiry, bronzed man with the eye of a hawk, and a manner that told of a long life spent upon the border. He was al- inost a counterpart of Cody himself, and Hastings felt that such a daring spirit must necessarily leave his mark upon the land wherein he roved,

Next came a rough and ready gen- ius, Whose impetuous manner might be expected to get him into many @ scrape. His tresses were inclined to be a dark auburn, so that the origin of ‘‘Red”’ Eric was readily discerned.

The last of the lot probably inter- ested Rex in a peculiar manner, since he did not appear to be more than a boy. Little Phil they called him. When introduced he seemed uneasy and let his eyes fall to the ground—

the slight ficure of the lad.

“I think he is rather delicate for such work as this,’’ he said aside to the Briton, after the four had retired some little distance.

“I had the same impression, having given my word to—er member of his family, I could not back out. And Little Phil has as- tonished us all with his endurance and grit. Nothing daunts him. He is ever eager to serve me, and often an- ticipates my wishes. I have already grown to think much of the boy. ‘Taken collectively I have about’ the sturdiest little band of rangers ever let loose upon the Matabele. But let us leave this place. It would hardly do for a camp or laager, with all these ghastly evidences of warfare. I believe Bludsoe has an ideal spot in his mind, which we were about to settle upon when we heard the rattle of your hot fire and the war whoops of the blacks.’’

“Is it very far—because we have no horses, you know, our expedition having been on foot?”

‘‘The luckiest thing in the world— thanks to Red Hric’s suggestion we have a couple of extra animals. Why, things just seem to dovetail together, as it were. Wait until I get them here, and you shall no longer’ be without a mount. In this open coun- try horses are of some use, whereas up in the tangle through which you blazed a path the beasts could never

get on.’’ This was speedily arranged, and Professor Jules saw with no little

pleasure every one of his thirteen | packages strapped on the back of his |steed ere he consented to clamber up / among them. | <As the little cavalcade moved away, with Bludsoe the scout in the advan- ice, and Red Eric ranging on one ,quarter while the doctor looked after the other, the professor found him- self alongside Little Phil, whom he | drew into a desultory conversation. Lord Bruno and Rex brought up the ‘rear, and each again expressed his de- light at this remarkable meeting un- , der such extraordinary conditions. ‘It is certainly something beyond | the realms of chance that brought it ubout,’’ declared the artist with posi- | tive determination in his voice. ‘“‘Whoe knows?’’ responded his com- panion, as he thought of the fabulous treasure of the extinct volcano, and his recent desire to. find a comrade who would join him in a second at- tempt to wrest it from the secret cache where it had laim useless

for

ages. ‘“*‘You have come down through a country I have longed to see, a 'country that for many moons has

held a charm for me such as no other portion of Africa possesses,’’ tinued Lord Bruno, who

had something on his mind.

‘Indeed, you surprise me. Any in- formation I can give you I shall be most happy to supply. ‘Truth to tell, ever since you dawned upon my vis- ion I have been hugging myself with the hope that I might influence you to go back with me and secure that which slipped my fingers by the clos- est of margins.”’

‘“‘Count it done even before you tell me the nature of your secret mission. I am like a Wandering Knight, seek- ing adventure, only I work in the in- terest of art, and not tc gain the favor of a lady love. Bend your head a little this way, Hastings. I told you I was scouring the country to sketeh the wild Matabee, and his allies, the savage Makalakas, on the warpath, in their kraals, at the feast, in the council, anywhere and under the oddest conditions. My dear fellow, all that is really true, but it is only a blind to cover my real pur- pose, which is to penetrate the inter- ior, trace certain rumors to. their source and discover some one who has set eyes upon the fair white god of the Zambodi.”’

Hastings uttered an involutary cry.

‘““Good heavens! how remarkable!’’ he muttered.

“Why do you say that?’’ demanded his companion looking at him with a sudden eager anticipation.

‘‘Because your wish, dear Bruno, is already granted, since these eyes have rested on the beautiful face of the Light of Africa—yes, I myself have seen this white idol.’’

CHAPTER IV. THREE MONTHS IN TANGLE AND DESERT.

con- evidently

Lord Brune appeared to be strange- ly affected upon hearing this start- ling announcement from his compan- ion.

His face lighted up with an eager expression that naturally enough aroused the euriosity of Hestings; nor were the words he let fall cal- culated to lessen this feeling. | “Something told me there was ‘more than mere accident in this meet- "tng, Rex; and already I can see the ‘hand of destiny guiding us. Yes, I “{magine we shall get on famously to- . Of that, more: anon.’’

They had left behind them the aceng

ef the desperate excounter, with all

%

{ts hideaous accompaniments, which would doubtless haunt Rex for many a day; althouch hy this time he Was growing accustomed to pictures of violence, since their long trail through the depth of African forest aud desert had been marked in many places by sanguinary conflicts, where the ugly nature of the native tribes refused friendly overtures, and forc- ed a mecting that resulted ia pitch- ed battle.

% many cases these blacks were so ugly in appearance, and with such barbarian manners and customs that One could hardly believe them human beings at all; indeed, the travelers Were more apt to liken them to some family of monster apes, for like the gorilla they lived in the tree tops.

Familiarity usually breeds cone tempt, and in this case the continued fighting that fell to their share made soldiers out of an erstwhile art stu- dent and scientist.

Heavier grew the shadows, night closed her sable mantle over the forest. Bludsoe evidently knew just where he was heading, for he posgessed the remarkable acumen for Which American frontiersmen have always been noted. The signs of forest and stream were as familiar to him as the mariner’s compass to the sailor, and from mountain and plain the voicen of nature whispered her eternal secrets in hig ear. It Were useless to ask him why certain nee Were so—he could only tell you at he was that he lived. isso reat

There was no encounter with the tnemy, no warning shot from either vanguard. or those upon the flanks.

Evidently the. Makalakas had been utterly demoralized by the sudden swoop of Bruno’ and his cowboy band, and believed the forces of the feared wizard of South Africa, Ceci) Rhodes, had been turned loose upon them.

As the country was swarming with hostiles it would be poor policy to remain long in one spot.

Even Lord Bruno knew this, and Jim Bludsoe would surely advige against it, though there was really, nothing to prevent their stopping a few hours in order to cook supper and recuperate.

The twilight had rendered objects very uncertain by the time a whistle from the leader warned them he had arrived close to the spot which would serve them as a temporary laager, or camp.

Here the offshots of the hills, known as kopjes, dwindled down to a rough ceuntry, in which it were an easy task to find some basin where a small fire might be lighted with but a trifling chance of discovery.

Bludsoe’s unerring judgment had marked out such a place, and straight as the crow flies he led them to it.

Presently a cheery scene was pre- sented in a little ‘‘dip’’ back of the first roll, where a camp fire burned, horses Were staked out as on the plains, to nibble at the grass, and the dotter busied himself in prepar- inging supper, for besides being able to minister to the wants of tortured

flesh, this remarkable man was a chef of no mean calibre, and could tickle the palates of his fellows

with savory dishes, which, if they lacked the clegance of a Delmonico concotion, Were certainly unrivaled in the estimation of those who Par- took.

Bludsoe was looking after the horses, and doing numerous chorea about the camp. The other two members of Lord Bruno’s little band ! appeared to have vanished into thia / air. Hastings had only to glance in the direction of a tree that mark- ed the rise in front, to catch a glimpse of a small fiery spot which he knew was the end of a cigar Red Eric smoked while standing on guard. Little Phil occupied another coign of advantage near Dy. Evi- dently Bludsoe was not the man to be caught napping.

‘‘Come,’”’ said the artist, as he threw himself at full length upon a blanket at some little distance from the fire, ‘‘suppose yow occupy that place, Rex. We have some twenty minutes to spare before supper will be ready. Your friend is busy with his specimens, packing them up More securely for some purpose or other. I confess that I am frightfully eager to hear this amazing yarn of yours. Will you relieve my curiosity, my dear fellow?’’

Hastings laughed as he accepted the seat, and hugged his knees.

“Twenty minutes would hardly be enough in which to tell youa tenth of the whole story, so I shall only relate that part beginning with my leaving Zanzibar and striking into the wilderness.’’

“Good!’’ said the Briton, nodding eagerly.

“T must in a measure explain the motive that influenced my action. It was no desire to emulate Stanley or even my friend Chandler—I did not seek to undertake these frightful dan- gers in the interest of art, such as might influence an enthusiast like yourself, nor did the eager desire of the professor to discover new WoOne ders in the ficld of science thag might cause untold millions unb to rise up in ages to come and him blessed, have any particular weight with me.

‘‘Plainly, then, my dear Bruno, § am a rude, uncouth treasure seeker— a Cortez or Pizarro transferred te this heart of the Dark Continent. [I sought a fortune, a will-o’-the-wisp that had eluded many an eager hand , before.

No wonder Lord Brune uttered an exclamation as his eyes rested upon this priceless ruby. He had never seen its peer, rudely cut though it Was by some native lapidary of a past age.

“At some other time I will tel! you how and when and wWhyere 1 learned about this wonder treasure that has lain buried in the depths for ages. You remember the story of Edmond Dantes in Monte Cristo, and under what peculiar conditions he learned of the hiding place of the vast wealth accummulated on the is- iand in the Mediterranean—well, 1 believe that in one sense my exper- ience was almost as singular as his. Lut you shall gadge yourself af some future timc.

“Our journey was anything but peaceful. It started under favorable auspices, but ere a week had passed we found ourselves in hot water. I believe a Wave of fanaticism has swept over Africa from the region of the Nile and the Kingdom of Daho- mey down ‘to the very borders of Ma- tabele land.

“‘At any rate we found the blacks aggressive all through our trip. At times I actually had reason to sus- pect that these tribes of interior Af- rica were really united in some an- cient league, and recognized in the white man the coming doom of their race, for at some future date, as surely as the world continues to ex- ist, that restless, colonizing Anglo- Saxon race is bound t# dothinate Af- rica even as it does North Amocrica, Australia and many other quarters of tne globe.

‘“‘Well, we were in a position to offer either the olive branch or war to the knife, and when the aggressive tactics of the blacks forced us to the latter condition, you can believe we hit hard.

“Still, the continual water will wear away a stone, and this constant system of warfare be- gan to tell upon our organization.

Throws all the Blame on the Stomach—The Real Seat of Trouble is the Intestines— The Permanent Cure is Dr. Chase’s ey -Liver Pills.

It is an old idea long since exploded that digestion is confimed to the stomach. No modern scientist denies that by far the a pam! part of digestion and the more difficult part takes piace im the intestines. This ee why d psva ie mever really cured pre- pf mann merely aid stomach digestion and act only on tee stomach,

This fact also explains why Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver PHIS have been so remarkably suc- sessful as a cure *ar the worst forms of dyspep- tia and indigestem.

Dr. Chase's Kidseg-Liver Pills act directly on the vidneys, liver and bowels, and give new tone and vigor te the intestines, and make them able to perferm their work of os the substances es which the stomach no effeet.

Stomach treatment may do well enough for slight indigestiog, but if you have chronic in- digestion or dyspepsia of a sesious mature you can prof by the experience ef scores of thou- sands whe have been permanently, cured by using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.
