of Good sitting on an ant-heap about one hundred paces from us. Close beside him was the body of a

%rmust be wounded," said Sir Henry, anxiously. As he made the remark an untoward thing happened. The dead bodv of the Kukuana soidier, or rather what had appeared to be his dead bodv, suddenly sprung up, knocsed Good head over heels off the ant-heap, and began to spear him. We rushed forward in terror, and aa we drew near we saw the brawny warrior making dig after dig at the pro3trate Good, who at each prod jerked all his limbs into the air Seeing us coming the Ivukuana gave one finai most vicious dig, and with a shout, of "Take thai, wizard," boltsil off. Goon did not move, and we concluded that our poor comrade was done for. Sadlvwecime toward him, and were indeed astonished to find him pale and faint indeed, but with a serene smile upon his ace, and his eyeglass still fixed in his eve* "C*mtal armor this,'' he murmured, on catching siuht of onr faces bending over him. '(Ilow sold he must iiavc been!" and then be fainted. On examination we discovered that he had been seriously wounded in the letr by a tolla in the course of the pursuit, but that the chain arni^r had prevented his last assailant's spear from doing anything more than bruise him badly. It was a merciful escape. Ar! nothing could be done for him at the moment he was placed on one of the wicker shields used for the wounded, and carried along With us.

On arriving before one of the gates of Loo we found one of our regiments watching it in obedience to orders received from Ignosi. The remaining regiments were in the same way watching the other exits to the town. The officer in command of this regiment coming up saluted Ignosi as king, and informed him that Twala's army had ta*en refuge in the town, whither Twala himself had also

Accordingly, orders having been issued to the remaining ninety men of the Grays to employ themselves in collecting the wounded we]oine4 Ignosi, who informed us that he was pressing on to Loo to complete the victory by capturing Iwala, if that should be possible. Before we had gone far we suddenly discovered the

thought that they were thoroughly demoralized, and would surrender. Thereupon Ignosi, after taking counsel with us, sent forward heralds to each gate ordering the d-fendeis to open, and promising on his royal word life and forgiveness to every" soldier who laid down liis arms. The message was not without its effect. Presently, amid the shouts and cheers of the Buffaloes, the bridge was dropped across the fosse, and the gates upon* the further side flung open.

Taking due precautions against treachery, we marched on into the town. All along tliu road-ways stood dejected warriors, their heads drooping, and their shields and spears at their feet, who, as It nosi passed, saluted him as king. On we marched, straight to Twala's kraal. When we reached the great ppace where a day or two previously we had peen the review and the witch hunt we found it deserted. No, not quite deserted for there, on the further side, in front of his but, sat Twala, with but one attendant—Gagool.

Jt waB a melancholy sight to see him seated there, ilia battle-ax and shield by his side, his chin upon his mailed breast, with but one old crone for companion, and notwithstanding his cruelties and misdeeds, a pang of compassion shot through me as I saw him thus "fallen from his high e3tate." Not a soldier of all his armies, not a courtier out ot the hundreds who had cringed round him, not even a solitary wife, remained to share his fate or halve the bitterness of his fall. Poor savage! he was leaning the lesson that Fate teaches to nn st who live long enough, that the eyes of mankind are blind to the discredited, and that he who is defenseless and fallen finds few friends and little mercy. Nor, indeed, in this case did he deserve any.

Filing through the kraai gate «re marched straight, across the open space to where the tx king sat. When within about fifty yards the regiment was halted, and accompanied only by a small guard wo ad vaned toward liim, pagool reviling us bitterly as we came. 'Aswediew near, Twala, for the first time, lifted up his plumed head, and fixed his one eye. whicn seemed to flash with suppressed fury almost as brightly as the great diadem bound round his forehead, upon his successful rival— Ignosi. '•Haii, O king!" he said, with bitter mockery "thou who hast eaten of my breaf' and now by the aid of the wbite man'ts magic has reduced mv regiments and defeated mine array, haii! what fate ,hast thou for me, O king? £|s "The fate thou gavest to my father, ""whoee throne thou hast sat on these many years!-' was the stern answer. "It is well. I will show thee bow to die, that thou mayest remember it against thine own time. See, the tun sinks in blood," and he pointed with his red battleax toward the fiery orb now going down "it is well that mv sun should sink with it. And now, Oh king, lam lea^yto die, but I crave the boon of the Knkuanaroyal house4 todie fighting. Thou canst not refuse it, or even those cowards who fled to-day will hold thee shamed." "It is grunted. Choose with whom thou wilt fight. Myself I can not fight with ther, for the king fights not except in war."

Twala's somber eye r.in up and down our ranke, ar.d I felt, as for a moment it rested oni nn golf, that the position had developed a new horror. What if he chose to bepin by fighting me? What chance should I have against a desperate 8aT: £6 six feet five high, and broad in p:«/portiotJ? I might as well commit Buicide at onre. Hastily I made up my mind to decline the combat, even if I were booted out of Kukuanalanu as a cor sequence. It is. 1 think, better to be hooted than to be quartered with a Vttfleax.

Presently be spoke. "Incobu, what eayest thou, shall we

answer. It is a law amongst the Kukuiinas that no man of the royal blosd can be put to (tenth uules* by his own consent, which is, however, never refuted. He ii allowed to choose a iucce*ion oj

antagonists, to be approved by the king, with

whom he fiyhts till ono of thrift kill# hiui. it is well, Incubu thou art a brave maD. It will be a good fight. Behold, Twala, the elephant is ready for thee."

The ex-king laughed savagely, and stepped forward and faced Curtis. For a moment thev stood thus, and the setting sun caught their stalwart frames and clothed tiiem both in fire. They were a well matched pair.

Then they began to circle round each other, their battleaxes raised. Suddenly Sir Henry sprung forward and struck a fearful blow at Twala, who stepped t.o one side. So heavy was the stroke that the striker half overbalanced himself, a circumstance of which his antagonist took a prompt advantage. Circling his heavy battleax round his hea-i, he brought it down with tremendous force. My heart jumped into my mouth I thought the affair was already finished. But no with a quick upward movement of the left arm Sir Henry interposed his shield between himself and the ax, with the result 1 hat its outer edge was shorn clean off.the ax falling on his left shoulder,but not heavily enough to do any serious damage. In another second Sir Henrv got in another blow, which was also received b* Twala upon his shield. Then followed blow upon blow which were, in turn, either received upon the fchield or avoided. The excitement grew intense the regiment which was watching the encounter forgot its discipline, and, drawing near, shouted and groaned at every stroke. Just at this time, too, Good, who had been laid upon the ground by me, recovered from his faint, and, sitting up, perceived what was going on. Jn an instant he was up, and catching hold of my arm, hopped about from place to place on one leg. dragging me after him, yelling out encouragements to Sir Henry— "Go it, old fellow!" he hallood. "That was a good onei Give it him amidships," and so on.

Preseutly Sir Henry, having caught afresh stroke upon his shield, hit out with all his force. The stroke cut through Twala's shield and through the tough chain armor behind it, gashing him in the shoulder. With a yell of pain and fury Twala returned the stoke with interest.and, such was his strength, shore rig through the rhinoceros' horn handle of hi?, antagonist's battle ax, strengthened as it was with bands of steel, wounding Cuitis in the face.

A cry of dismay ro3e from the Buffaloes as "our hero's broad axhead fell to the ground and Twala, again raising his weapon, flew at him with a shout. I shut my eyes. When I opened them again, it was to see Sir Henry's shield lying on the ground, and Sir Henry himself with his great arms twined round Twala's middle. To and fr they swung, hugging each other like bears, straining with all their mighty muscles for dear life, and dearer honor. With a supreme effort Twala swung the Englishman clean off his feet, and down they came together over and over on the lime paving Twala striking out at Curtis's head with the battle-ax, and Sir Henry trying to drive the tolla he had drawn from his belt through Twala:s armor.

It was a mighty struggle, and an awfully thing to see. "Get his ax!" yelled Good and perhaps our champion heard him.

At any rate, dropping the tolla, he made a grab at the ax, which was fast

made a grab at the ax, which was last-

ened to Twala wrist by a strip of

buffalo hide, and still rolling over and over, they fought for it like wild cats, drawing their breath in heavy gasps. Suddenly the hide string burst, aod then, with a great effort, Sir Henry freed hiins If, the weapon remaining in his ura«p. Another second and he was up upon his feet, the red blood streaming from the wound in his face, and so Twaia. Drawing the heavy tolla hi-j belt, he staggered straight at Curtis and struck Vim upon the breast. The blow came home true and strong, but whoever it was made that chain armor understood hi art. for it withstood the steel. Again Twala struck out with a savage yell, and again the heavy knife rebounded, an 1 Sir Henry w«nt staggering back. Once more Twala came on. and as he came our great Englishman gathered himself together, and, swinging the heavy ax round his head, hit at him with all his force. There was a shriek of excitement from a thousand throats, and, behold! Twala's head seemed to coring from his shoulders and then fell and came rolling and hounding along the ground toward Ignosi, stopping just at his foet. For a second the corp stood upright, the blood spouting in fountains from the several arteries then with a dull crash it fell to the earth, and the gold torque from the neck went rolling away acroeo the pavement. As it did BO Sir Henry, ovei powered by faintness and lost* of bioor!, fell heavily across it. la a second he was lifted up, and eager hands were pouring water on his face.

"They bow their heads, but not in sleep they are stretched out, but not in sleep.

"Now shall Evil cover up her face, and prosperity shall bloom in the land like alilv. "E 'joice, rejoice, my people! let all the land rejoice in that the tyranny is trodden down, in that I am the king."

He paused, and out of the gathering gloom the came back the deep reply— "Thou art the king."

Thus it was that my prophecy to tbe herald came true, and within the fortyeight hours Twala's headless corpse was stiffening at Twala's gate.

CHAPTER XV.

GOOD PALLS

third of the Kukuana army, had been destroyed in that awful struggle. It was

heart-rendering

and

SICK.

After the fight was ended, Sir Henvv and Good were carried into Twala's hut, where I joined them. They were both utterly exhausted by exertion and loss of blood, and indeed, .my own condition was little better. E atn very wiry, and can stand more fatigue than most men, brobably on account of my light weight and long training but that night I was fairly done up, and, as is always the case with me when exhausted, that old wound the lion gave me began to pain me. Also my head was aching violently from tha blow I had received in the morning, when I was knocked senseless. Altogether, a more deplorable trio than we were that evening it would have been difficult to discover and our only comfort lay in the reflection that we were exceedingly fortunate to be there to feel miserable, instead of being stretched dead upon the plain, as so many thousands of brave men were that niuht, who had risen well and strong in the morning. Somehow, with the assistance of the beautiful Foulata, who, since we had been the means of saving her life, had constituted herself our handmniden, and especially Good's, we managed t* get off the chain shirts'.

which h*d

certainly saved the rives of

two of us that day, when we found that the flesh underne.Jwi was terribly bruised, for though the steel i«its had prevented the weapoc.»s from entering, thej' had not prevented them from bruising. Both Sir Henry aod Good were a mass oi bruiaes. and I was by no means free. As a remedy, Floulata brought U3 some pounded gr-jen leaves,

twoof us that

day/when we found that

r.r.iipirierahle

plied as a plaster, gave us considerable relief. But though the bruises were painful, they did not give ua *u anxiety as Sir Henry's and Good's wounds. Good had a hole" right through the fleshy part of his beautitul white leg," from which be had lost a great deal of blood and Sir Henry had a deep cut over the jaw, inflicted by Twala's battle-ax. Luckily Good was a very decent surgeon, and as soon as his small box of medicines was forthcoming, he, having thoroughly cleansed the wounds, mxnaged to stitch up, first Sir Fenry's and then his own pretty satisfactorily, considering the imperfect light giveu by the primitive Kukuana lamp in the hut. Afterward he plentifully smeared the wounds with somo antiseptic ointment, of which there was a pot in the little box, and we covered them with the remains of a pocket-handkerchief which we possessed.

Meanwhile Foulata had prepared us some strong broth,for we were too weary to eat. This we swallowed, and then threw ourselves down on the piles of magnificent karosses, or fur-rugs, which were cattered about the dead king's great hut. By a very strange instance of tbe irony of fate, it was on Twala's own couch, and wrapped in Twala's own particular kaross, that Sir Henry, the man who had slain him, slept that night.

I say slept: but after that day's work sleep was indeed difficult. To begin with, in very truth the air was full "Of farewells to tbe dying

And mourninftB for the dead."

From every direetion came the soand of tbe wailing of women whose husbands, sons,, and brothers had perished in the fight.' No wonder that they waiied, for over twenty thousand meo, or aearly a

to lie and listen to their

cries for those who would never return it made one"realize the full horror of the work done that day to further man's ambition. Toward midnight, however, the ceasless crying of the women grew less frequent, till at length the silence was only broken at intervals of a few minutes by a long, piercing howl that came from a hut in our immediate rear, and which I afterward' discovered proceeded from Gagool wailing for the dead King Twala.

After that I got a little fitful sleep, only to wake from time to time with a start, thinking that I was once more an actor in the terrible events of the last twentv-four hours. Now I seemed to see that warrior, whom my hand had sent to his last account, charging at me on the mountain top now I was once more in that glorious ring of Grays, which made its immortal stand against ail Twala's regiments, upon the little mound and now again I saw Twala's plumed and gorv head roll past my feet with gnashing teeth and glaring eye. At last, somehow or other, the night passed away but when dawn broke I found that my companions had slept no better than myself. Good, indeed, was in a high fever, and very 600n afterward began to grow lightheaded, and also, to my alarm, to spit blood, the result no doubt of some internal injury inflicted by the desperate efforts of the Kukuana warrior oa the previous day to get his big spear through the chain armor. Sir Henry, however, seemed pretty fresh, notwithstanding his wound on the face, which made eating difficult and laughter an impossibility, though he was so sore and stiff that he could scarcely stir.

About eight o'clock we had a visit from lnfadoos, who seemed but little the

worse—tough

old warrior that he

was—for his exertions on the previous day, though he informed us that he had been up all night. He was delimited to see us, though iiuch grieved at

condition, and shook hand* corilially but I noticed that he addressed ^ir Henrv with a kind of reverence, as though fee were something mo^ than i-aan and indeed, as we afterward

found

out, the great Englishman vsv.s looked on throutrhout Kukuanaland wa supernatural being. No man. tbe soldiers said, could have fought as he fought, or could, at the end of a day

such toil

bloodrihed, have slain Tvvala, who, in addition to being the king, was pupposed to be the strongest warrior iu Kukuanaland, in single combat, sheering through his bill mck at a stroke. Indeed, that i-troke became provevbial in Kukuanaland, and any extraordinary blow or feat of strength was thenceforth known as "Incubu's blow." lnfadoos told us, also, that all Twala's regiments had submitted to Ignosi, and that like submissions were beginning to arrive from chiefs in the country. Twala's death at the bands of Sir Henry had put an end to ail further chance of disturbance for Scragga had been his only son.and there was no rival claimant left alive.

I remarked that Ignosi had swuui to the throne through blood. The old chief shrugged ids shoulders. "Yes," he answered "but the Kukuana people can only be kept cool by letting the blood flow sometimes. Many were killed indeed, but the women were left, and others would soon grow up to take the places of the fahen. After this the land would ba quiet for awhile

Afterward, iu the course of the morning, we had a short visit from Ignosi, on whose brows the royal diadem was now bound. As I contemplated him advancing with kingly dignity,an obsequious guard following his st,eps, I could not help recalling to my mind the tall Zulu who had presented himself to us at Durban some few months back, asking to be taken into our service, and reflecting on the strange revolutions of the wheel of fortune. "Hail, O king!" I said, rising. "Yes, Macumazahn. King at last, by the grace of your three right hands," was the ready answer.

All was, he said, going on well: and he hoped to arrange a great feast in two weeks' time in order to show himself to the people.

I asked him what he had settled to do with Gagool. "She is the evil genius of the 'and/' he answered, "and I shall kill her, and all the witch doctors with her! She has lived BO long that none can remember when she was not old, and always she it is who has trained the witch hunters, and made the land evil in the sight of the heavens above." "Yet she knows much." I replied "it is easier to destroy knowledge, Ignosi, than to gather it." "It is so,' he said, thoughtfully. "She, and she only,'knows the secret of the 'Three Witches' yonder, whither the great road runs, where the kings are buried, and the silent ones sit." "Yes, and the diamonds are. Don't forget your promise, Ignosi you must lead us to the mines, even if you have to spare Gagool's life to show the way." "I will not forget, Macumazahn, and I will think ou what thou shyest."

The Cost of Private Cars.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Many extravagant stories are in circulation," said George W. Allen, "as to the cost of private cars, such as are used by railroad magnates, opera singers, imported actors and millionaires and I have ©ften heard it stated that an average Pullman palace car is worth 160.000. Stories are printed about cars costing all the way from $100,000 to $230,00). The fact of the matter is that a palace car cost.) about $12,000 complete. The make up of the cars, regular or special, is about tbe came. Additional cost is brought about by the internal decorations, and that must necessarily be limited. 1 doubt if there was ever a car constructed that cost more than $35,000. To exceed that figure wouki require a decoration exclusively in jewels and the precious metals

It is worth while to expose onr ignorance to others, that we may learn it ourselves. This is many times the only wav we nha'1 ever learn it.
