The day was just at its close when two rather sorry-looking individuals stagcered under the shelter of a viant tree in the heart of the wild- to the north of the Mato- and with their numerous dropped to the ground, evi- almost utterly exhausted. There was that about the taller and more robust to indicate the Am- erican, While his companion’s voice and manner of speech proclaimed him iit PES, ppo bundks, a son of fair France. Professor Jules Verdant had, in his ardent desire to discover new Wwon- ders that would send his name ring- ing down the ages, undertaken many Quixotic expeditions, from spending two years on the mighty, fever- haunted Amazon to dangerous _pil- srimages to Fez, to old Khartoum, and Ashantee: but when he undertook to pierce the heart of Africa in com- pany «With a bold young American, in the hope of meeting the tri! of dwarfs, spoken of by other travel- ers, and possibly solying Darwin's vreat theory, he realized that it was cestined to be the most serious ex- pedition of his life. His companion, Rex Hastings had been influenced by other motives taan those connected with stience, and what the nature of the mission might e that urged him to undertake such tremendous hazards will in due coulse of time be made manifest. ‘hey had started in on the Fast just south of the Zanzibar by the Sultan Hamed, es OAS, ountry ried oman’s Weakness Awomar -ceproductive organs ur ‘he most in- tensé¢ ar' nu linuous syne th - a her kidnev.

He now proceeded to open one of the packages and produced a sparins amount of food. “Come, We must take a little re- freshment, professor. Tt has ten a hard dav, and I fear we've lost our last man. My mind would be more at ease if I knew how matters were going on to the south. Those ru- mors of an uprising of the Matabele disturb me. If they prove to be true Il. fear» we, shall never be able to reach Buluwayo.’’ The French man of science, having ascertained that his thirteen precious packages ‘were all there and in good condition, concescended to share in the humble recast, and his manner Was just as charining and the volume of his chatter just as unrestricted as though he stood in his dearly bhelov- ed Bois de Boiogne or under the Ar de Triomphe. The joily little professor cer- tainly a boon companion for a lon journey, Since he knew how to chase dull care away. Hastings did not appear fully at ease, for his eyes almost constant], roved over the ground they had cov- ered in arriving at this tree, and more than once he _ looked s:-rious., while his hand involuntarily reached out in the cirection of the repeatin rilie, that had served him. faitafuily all through these months of Wander- ing. The shadows had commenced to is- sue” forth frqm_ their hiding-places, and the forest seemed peopled with grotesque goblins that would re quire but a small stretch of the im- agination to transform into skulking was blacks, eager to close upon the fugu- tives. In reality it was a peaceful scene. and under different conditions Hast- ings might have experienced an un- abounding admi:ation for the prime val charm that rested upon that Af- rican wood, neopled with feathered songsters, and in spots radiant with the bloom of countless flowers thourh this was the season corres- ponding to our blerk November. ‘‘Mon Dieu,’’ said the Gaul, as he hit into the piece of hard tack which had been given him to enaw upon, ‘zis is one supper fit for ze gods— at least it is a shame two ventlemen studenfs dp not fare better.

To my dying day I shall néver forget the startling impression that fair idol made upon me as seen in the midst of a thousand black kneeling wor- shippers. She was as beautiful as a dream.

Well, we can do it, profes- sor, if given half a chance; but it goes against the grain. What wouldn't I give for a regiment of our militia just now.

It was because Rex sud- denly clutched him by the arm and dragged him to the ground with a single muscular effort. And as the savant assumed this involuntary hor- izontal position, there was heard a strange hissing whirr. followed by a dull thud, and turning his head the professor saw quivering in the tree trunk, with its lancet head buried three Inches deep, a deadly assegai of the warlike Makalakas. CHAPTER II. THE BORDER LAND OF ETERNITY. Again did Professor Jules owe the preservation of his life to the quick wit and ready hand of his companion in arms, since, but for his hasty de scent from a perpendicular that mur- derous weapon of a South African warrior must have passed through his body. Hastings realized that the crisis he had feared was upoa him, since their pursuers were on deck, filled with the geal of warfare, and determined to accomplish their destruction. He was a man of action, this American, and even though the con- dition of affairs seemed next to hope- less, such a thing as surrender to the inevitatfe never entered his mind. This is characteristic of the Anglo- Saxon blood——a grim determination to go down with colors flying. It has been made historical on many a bloody, field of battle in Eng- land, Scotland, America, yes, wher- ever the English language is spoken throughout the world. If die he must he would meet his fate with face to the foe, a Weapon in his hand, the fire of battle in his heart. That would be the glorious end of a brave soldier — who could wish a better? As! with one hand he dragged Ver- dant) to the ground, hig other reached out and clutched the repeating rifle < —— that lay cer\ee DY. In days gone by that wea served him faithfully, and he could place reliance upon it i ad <n vy 4} + > Sv Fhe rf now. So long as there was a leaden messenger pon kne Within its chamber, and he had the Sstreneth to press the trigger, i: would send forth its deadly sum- mons, until a breastwork of victims encompassed him about. Ag Travis and Crockett fell at the Alamo in Texas, with Mexicans piled waist high around them, so_ this bold son of Illinois meant to meet his end. Considering the desperate nature of the situation he was remarkably cool and collected. He had anticipated just such a decisive moment as this and in his mind arranged his method of meeting the crisis. ‘To arms! they come, the Turk, the Turk!’’ was ‘what he shouted in the ear of his ally, and the men of that gallant Greek patriot Bozarris certainly could not have shown great- er agility in pouncing down upon the swarming foe than did these two fugitives of the wilds in facing the blacks. Already dusky figures could be seen carting from tree to tree, and Hast- ings, knowing the value of time, lost not a second in discharging his gun. The report of the Winchester seem- ed to arouse the. echoes of Hades— from eyery quarter there arose the most fiendish of yells, and one who had never heard these battle cries of the savage Makalakas' before might well be, pardoned for believing that a legion of black fiends from Tophet, led by Mephistopheles himself, had burst the barriers of the Inferno, and sought new victims on earth. There was no time for exercising any deliberation in the line of judg- ment-—to, strike, speedily .and often, with the nrost fatal result was their one hope, and even that held out but faint chances of success. Hastings was Crouching there, al- most flat on his face, behind the heterogeneous bundles which the sa- vant had so carefgly and solicit ous- ly piled up. They promised, at least, to iorm svme sort of a barrier ;ior the wretched fugitives, though. the professor When making his collection had never dreamed to what base, use thev might eventually be put. The rapid detonation of the Win- chester told that it was in the hands of one who knew how to utilize its wonderful repeating qualities to the utmost, and the fiendish shouts of the black warriers no longer 9 expresses only rage, but pain and consternation ag Well.
