Had I known that you wanted $ to keep the cattle I would never have smelled them out. I only did so, fearing lest you should lose the presents." "You are not so wicked as I thought," he growled. "Get up, then, and do my bidding. You can be back here in two

Jxrars after dawn." 80 I got up, thinking all the while if I should try to spring on him. But I was without arms, and he had the knife also, if perchance I had prevailed and killed him it would have been thought that I had murdered him, and I should have tasted the assegai. So I mado another $itsux I would go and find the cattle in 13»e valley where I had smelt them out, bat I would not bring them to the secret Mfling place. No, I would drive them straight to the kraal and denounce Noma before the chief, my father, and •11 the people. But I was young in iitose days, and did not know all the heart of Noma.

I went to the corner of my hut, Noma ^watching mo all the while, find took a kerne and a email shield. Then 1 started through the moonlight. I ^For an hour I traveled swiftly ovei the plain, till I came to the hillside •where the bush began. At last I found the little buffalo path I sought^ an3 'turned along it. Presently I came to at) open place where the moonlight crept in between tho trees. I knelt down and looked. Yes! my snake had not lied to me thore was the spoor of the cattle!

Then I went on gladly till I reached a dell through which the water ran softly. Here the trail of tho cattle was broad they had broken down tho ferns with their feet and trampled the grass flat. Presently I came to a pool. 1 knew itit was the pool my snake had shown me.

I stepped forward find looked round. My eye caught something it was the faint gray light of the dawn glinting on the cattle's horns.

Then I collected them and drove them before mo down tho narrow path back toward the kraal. Now the daylight came quickly, and the sun had been up an horn* when I reached the spot where should turn if I wished to hide the cattle in the secret place, as Noma had bid

But this I would not do. No, I would go on to the kraal with them, and toll all men that Noma was a thief. Still, I sat down and rested awhile, for I was tired. As I sat, I heard a noise and looked up. There, over tho slope o! the rise, cntno a crowd of men, and leading them was Noma, and by'his side tho headman who owned tho cattle. 1 stood still wondering, but as 1 stood they ran toward me, shouting and waving sticks and spears. "Thore he is I" screamed Noma. "There he is!—tho clover boy whom I have brought up to bring shamo on me. What did I toll you? Did I not tell you that ho was a thief? Yes—yes! I know your tricks, Mopo, my childl See! he is stealing tho cattle!" And ho made a rush at 1110 with his stick lifted, and after him came tho headman, grunting with rage.

I xmdorstood, my father. My heart went mod in me. Everything began to swim round a red cloth seemed to lift itself tip ar.d down before my eyes. 1 have always seen it thus when I was forcod to fight. I- screamed out one word only—"Liar l"—and rushed to meet Mm. On came Noma. He struck at coo with his feerrio, but I caught the blow upon my little shield and hit back. Wow I I did hitl Tho skull of Noma mot my kerrie, and down he fell, dead at my feet- I yelled again and rushed an at tho headman. Ho threw an assebut it missed me, and next second 1 bit him too. Ho got up his shield, but 1 knocked it down upon his head, and over he rolled senseless. Whether lie lived or died I know not, but his head being of the thickest I think it likely that h© lived. Then, while tho people stood astonished, I turned and ran. They turned, too, and ran after me. But none of them could catch me, and presently I was out of sight and alone.

CHAPTER m.

2HOPO^VENTURES HOME.

I throw myself down cm the grass and panted till my strength came back then 1 went and hid in a pateh of reeds down by a swamp. All day long 1 lay there thinking. What was 1 to do? Now 1 was a jackal without a hole. If I went back to my people, certainly they would Mil me, whom they thought a thief. My blood would be given for Noma's, and that I did not wish, though my heart was sad. Then there Inte my mind tine thought of Chaka, tee boy to whom I had given the cup of watei long ago.

I had heard of him his name was known in the land. The words he had said and the vision that my mother had seen were beginning to come true. He had taken the placo of his father. Sen* xangacona. Now I remembered how this Chaka promised that he would make ne groat, and 1 thought in myself that 2 would arise and go to him. Perhaps 1m would Mti mo well, what did it mat* tnf should certainly be killed if 1 staid here. Yes, would go, Btit now toy heart polled another way. There wm bat one thing that I loved in the world—i! was my sister Baleka. My father had betrothed her to the chief of neighboring tribe, but knew that this marri.^ was against her wish. Perhaps my sister would run away with me if! mold get near her to tell her that I was -ring. Iwoold tay^MwooJdtey.

I waited till tbe darkness came down, fhenIw«ntoQ tlH lesiae to tbektssL Bamoot our Dftoabwtre.aeatedoutside

of a hut. talking together ov6r a fire. 1 crept near silently as a snake and hid behind a little bosh. 1 knew that they could not see me outside the ting of the firelight, and I wanted to hear what they said. As I thought, they were talking of me and called me many names. They said should bring ill luck on the tribe by having killed so great a witch doctor as Noma, also that the people of the headman would demand payment for the assault on him. I learned, moreover, that my father had ordered all the men of the tribe out to hunt for me on the merrow, and to kill me wherever they found me." "Ah Pi thought, "you may hunt, but you will bring nothing home to the pot." Just then a dog that was lying by the fire got up and began to sniff the air. I could not see what dog it was—indeed had forgotten all about the dogs when I drew near the kraal that is what comes of want of experience, my father. The dog sniffed and sniffed, then he began to growl, looking always my way, and 1 grew afraid. "What is the dog growling at?" said one man to another. "Go and sea" But the other man was taking snuff and did not like to move. "Let the dog go and see for himself," he answered, sneezing "w»»s is the good of keeping a aujr if you have to catch the thief?" "Go on., then," said the first man to the dog, and ho ran forward, barking. Then I saw him it was my own dog, Koos, a very good dog. Presently, as I lay not knowing what to do, he smelled my smell, stopped barking, and running around the bush he found me and began to lick my face. "Be quiet, Koos," I whispered to him, and he lay down by my side. "Where has that dog gone now?" said the .first man. "Is he bewitched, that he suddefliy £tops barking and does not come back?" "fj* "Wejoll 8de," said the other, nsvng, a spear in his hand.

Now I was once more terribly afraid, for I thought that they would catch me or I must run for my life again. But I sprang up to run a big black snake glided between the men and went off toward the huts. They jumped aside in a great fright, then all turned to follow tho snake, saying that this was what the dog was barking at.

When they had gone I crept off the other way, and Koos followed me. At first I thought that I would kill him, lest ho should betray me but when I called him to me to knock him on the head I could not do it. So I thought 1 would take my chance, and we went on together. This was my purpose: First to creep into my own hut and get my assegais and skin blanket, then to gain speech with Baleka. I came to the reed fenco that surrounded the huts. Nobody was to be seen at the gate, which was not shut with thorns as usual. That was my duty, and I had not been there to do it. So, bidding, the dog lie down outside, I stepped through boldly, came to the door of my hut and listened. It was empty there was not even a breath to be heard. So I crept in and began to search for my assegais, my water gourd and my wood pillow.

Now tho kraal of the chief, my father, Makedama, was two hundred paces away, and there I must go, for there Baleka slept. Also 1 dared not enter by the gate, because a man was always on guard there. So I cut my way through the reed fence with my assegai .and crept to the hut where Baleka ^vas witib some of her half sisters. I knew on what side of the hut it was her custom to lie and where her head would be. So I lay down op my side and gently, very gently, bejfan to bore a hole in the grass covering of the ^hut. Almost I gave it over, thinking that I would fly alone, when suddenly I heard a girl wake and begin to cry on the other side of the thatch. "Ah," I thought, "that is Baleka, who weeps for her brother!" So 1 put my lips where the thatch was thinnest and whispered: "Baleka, my sister! Baleka, do not weep! I, Mopo, am here. Say not a word, but rise. Come out of the hut, bringing your skin blanket."

Baleka understood, and after awhile crept from the hut. "Why are you here?" she whispered as we met. "Surely you will be killed!" "Hush!" I said. "Will you come with me, or will you creep back into the hut and bid me forewelir ff1

She thought awhile., thefa %he said, "No, my brother, I will come, though I believe that this will bo the end of it— that you will lead me to my death."

So we slipped away together, followed by the dog Koos, and soou were running toward the country of the Zulu tnba

CHAPTER IV.

PLIOirr OF MOPO and

Shouted outloud and charged tm. All the rest of that night we journeyed, till eve® the dog was tired. Then we hid in a meaUe field for a day, as we were afraid of being £?en. Toward the afternoon we heard voices, and looking through the s&msof the mealie# we saw a party of my father's men pass searching for They went on to a neighboring kraal to ask if we had been seen, sad after that we saw them no more fear awhile. At night we traveled again, bet, as fate would have it, we were met by. an old woman, who looked oddly at

us but said nothing- After that we pushed on day and night, for we knew that the old woman would teB the pursuers if she met them and so indeed it turned out. 1

But now I was doubtful whether we would go to Chaka, for after what we had seen I grew afraid lest he*should kill us. Still we had nowhere to turn, so I said that we would walk along till something happened. Now we grew faint with hunger and weariness, and FaHofrn said that we had better sit down and die, for then there would be no more trouble. So we sat down by a spring. But I did not wish to die ^et, though Baleka was light, and it would have been well to. do so. As we sat, the dog Koos went to a bush that was near, and presently I heard him spring at something and the sound of struggling. Iran to the bush he had caught hold of a duiker buck, as big as himself, that was asleep in it. Then I drove my spear into the buck and shouted for joy, for here was food,

When the buck'was dead 1 skinned him, and we took bits of the flesh, washed them in the water and-ate them, for we had no fire to cook them with. It is not nice to eat uncooked flesh, but we were so hungry that we did no* mind, and strength came tiack to us from the food. When we had eaten what we could we rose and washed ourselves at the spring but as we washed Baleka looked up and gave a cry of fear. For there, on the crest of the hill, about ten spear throws away, were a party of six armed men, and these men people of my own tribe—children of my father Makedama—'who still pursued us to take us or slay us. They saw us they raised a shout and began to run. We too sprang up and ran.

Before us the ground was open and sloped down to the banks of the White Umfolozi. We ran fo^the river. After us came the warriors. Now we neared the banks of the river it was full and wide. Above us the waters ran angrily, breaking into swirls of white where they passed over sunken rocks below was a rapid, in which none might live between the two a deep pool, where the water wa3 quiet but the stream strong. "Ah? my brother, what shall we do?" gasped Balekst. "There is this to choose," I answered, "perish on the spealte of our people or try the river." "Easier to die by water than on iron," she answered. "Good!" 1 said. "Now may our snakes look "toward us and the spirits of our fathers be with us! At the least we can swim." And I led her to the head of the pool. We threw away everything except an assegai—which I held in my teeth—and plunged in, wadiirg and swimming, the dog Koos leading the way.

Then it was that the soldiers appeared upon the bank. "Ah! little people," one cried, "you swim, do you? Well, you will drown and if you do not drown we know a ford, and we will catch you and kill you." And he hurled an asseagi after us, which fell between CUB." -fJsS .,

No Ij"

Now when the soldiers on the other bank saw that we had crossed, they shouted threats at us, then ran away down the bank. "Arise, Baleka," I said "they have gone to seek a ford." "Ah, let me die!" she answered.

Bvt I forced her to rise, and we walked on,till at last far away, we saw a large kraal. "Keep heart," I said. "See, there is the kraal of Chaka."

Presently we came to a path that ran to the kraal from the ford of the Umfolozi. We followed the path till at last wo were but half an hour's journey from the kraal. Then we looked back, audio! there behind us were the pursuers.

Again we ran, but they gained upon us. Then once more I thought of the dog. I called him and told him what to do. He understood, and flew toward them growling. They tried to kill him with spears and kerries, but he jumped around them, biting at them and kept them back. At last a man hit him, and he sprang up and seized the man by the throat. There he clung, man and dog rolling over and over together, till the end of it was that they both died together.

Meanwhile we were but three hundred paces from the gate of the kraaL "Run on, Baleka, run on!" I said, dropping behind. .Now die staggered on toward the kraaL I sat down to get my breath again, for I was about to fight four men.

The men were running, two and two, with the length of a spear throw between them. But of the first pair one was five or six paces in front of the other. This man shouted out loud and charged me, shield and spear up. I stood waiting for him tall he drew back the spear to stab m& Thai suddenly I dropped to my knees and thrust upward vrith all my strength beneath the rim of his shield and he also thrust, but over me, his spear only catting the skin of my shoulder. And my assegai? Ah! it ran through and through his middle. He rolled over and over oa the plain. 1 was now weaponless, for tho haft of my spew—it was bat* light throwing ub»gmi—broke in twovlea?ing notihmg but ft little hit of stick la my hand.

swafii"'hard, for we could

swim well.- It was just this: If we could reach the bank before we got into the rapids we were safe if pot, thengood night! We strained, we struggled. Baleka was a brave girl, and she swam bravely but the water pushed her down below me, and I could do nothing1to help her. I got my foot upon the rock and looked around. There she was, and eight paces from her the broken water boiled. I could not go back. But the dog Koos saw. He swam to her barkiSk, then turned around heading for the shore. She grasped him by the tail with her right hand. She too struck out with her feet and her left hand, and slowly, very slowly, .drew near. Then I stretched out the handle of my assegai toward her. .She caught it with her left hand. 1 pulled and Koos pulled, and we brought her to the bank, and there she fell gasping.

as a tree above me. 1 fell onto my hands and knees and flung myself over sideways. My body struck the legs of the man about to stab me, lifting his feet from beneath him. Down he came heavily. Before he had touched the ground I was off it. His spear had fallen from his hand. I stooped, seized it,- and as he rose I stabbed him. through the back. In the shake of a leaf he also was dead. Then I ran, for my valor was gone. About a hundred paces from me Baleka was staggering along. By the time I caught her she was some forty paces from tho gate of the kraal. But then her powers left her altogether. Yesi there she fell senseless, and I stood by her. And there, too, I should have beea. slain had not this chanced, for the other two men, having staid one instant by their dead fellowB, came on against me mad with wrath. For at that moment the gate of the kraal opened, and through it came a party of soldiers dragging a man by the arms.. After them walked a great man, who wore a leopard skin on his shoulders and w»s laughing, and with him were five or six ringed councilors, and after them again came a company of warriors.

The soldiers saw that killing was going on and ran up just as the slayers reached usK" "Who are you?" jfchev cried, "who dare to kill at the gate of the Elephant's kraal? Here the Elephant kills alone!" "We are of the children of Makedama," they answered, "and we follow these evil doers who have done wickedness and murder in our kraal. See, but now two of us are dead at their hands, and others lie dead along the road. Suffer that we slay them!" "Ask that of the Elephant," said the soldiers "ask, too, that he suffer you should not be slain." "||ff

Just then the tall chief saw blood and heard words. He stalked up and a great man he was to see, though still young in years. For he was taller by a head than any around him, and his chest was big as the chests of two his face was fierce and beautiful, and when he was angry his eye flashed like a smitten brand. y* "Who are these who dare to stir up dust at the gates of my kraal?" he asked, frowning. "O Chaka, O Elephant!" answered the captain of the soldiers, throwing himself £0 the earth before Bim, "the men say that these are evil doers and that they pursue them to kill them." "Good!" he answered. "Let them slay the evil doers." "O great chief! thanks be to thee, great chief!" said those who sought to slay us. Si, "I hear you," he answered1, then spoke once more to the captain. "And when they have slain the evil doers, let them themselves be blinded and turned loose to seek their way home, because they have dared to lift a spear within the Zulu gates. Now praise on, my children!" and he laughed, while the soldiers murmured, "Ou! he is wise, he is great, his justice is bright and terrible like the sun!"

But the two men cried out in fear, foi this they did not seek. ,", "Cut out their tongues also," said Chaka. "What! shall the land of the Zulus'suffer such noise? Never! lest the cattle miscarry. To it, ye black ones! There lies the girl. She is asleep and helpless. Slay her! What! you hesitate! Nay, then, if you will have time for thought, I will give it. Take these men, smear them with honey and pin them over ant heaps by tomorrow's Bun they will know their own minds. But first kill these two hunted jackals," and he pointed to Baleka and myself. "They seem tired, and doubtless they long for

Then for the first time I spoke, for the soldiers drew near to slay us. "Oh, Chaka," I cried, "I am Mopo, and this is my sister, Balekal"

I stopped, and a great shout of laughter went up from all who stood around. "Very well, Mopo, and thy sister, Baleka," said Chaka grimly. "Good morning to you, Mopo, and Baleka also, good night!" "Oh, Chaka!" I broke in, "I am Mopo, son of Makedama, of the Langeni tribe. It was I who gave thee a gourd of water many years ago, when we both were little. Then thou badest me come to thee when thou hadst grown great, vowing that thou wouldst protect me and never do me harm. So I have come, bringing my sister with me, and now, 1 pray thee, do not eat up the words of long ago."

As I spoke Chaka's face changed, and he listened earnestly, as a man who holds his hand behind bis ear. "Those are no lies," he said. "Welcome, Mopo! Thou shalt be a dog in my hut and feed from my hand. But of thy sister I said nothing. Why, then, should she not be slain when I swore vengeance against all thy tribe save thee aloner "Because she is too fair to slay, O chief I answered boldly "also because I love her and ask her life as a boon!" "Turn the girl over," said Chaka, and they did so, shewing her face. "Again thou speakest no lie, son ot Makedama," said the chief. "I grant thee the boon. She also shall lie in my hut and be of the number of my 'sisters.' Now tell me thy tale, speaking only the truth."

These, then, my father, were the events that ended in the coming of me, Mopo, and of my sister Baleka to the kraal of Chaka, the Lion of the Zulu. Now you may ask why I have kept you so long with this tale, which is as are other tales of our people. But thai shall be seen, for from these matters, as a tree from a seed, grew tho birth of Umslopogaas Bulalio, Umslopogaas the Slaughterer and Nads, the Beautiful, of whose love my story has to telL ForNadawas my daughter,

and

Umslopogaas, though

few knew it, was none other than the son of Chaka, bora of my sister Baleka. Now when Baleka recovered from the weariness ofour flight and her beauty came back to her, Chaka took her to wife, numbering her among his women, -whom he named his "sisters.** And me Chalet took tobeoueof his doctors, of his inxangm of medicine! sad, he was

so well pleased witn my medicine that in the end 1 became his head doctor. Now this was a great post, in which, during the course of years, I grew fat in cattle and in wives but also it was one of much dauger. For when I rose strong and well in the morning I could- never know but that at night I should sleep stiff and red. Many were the doctors whom Chaka slew doctored they never so well, they were slain at last For a day would surely come when tho king felt ill in his body or heavy in his mind, and then to the assegai or the torment with the wizard who had doctored him! Yet 1 escaped, because of the power of my medicine, and also because of that oath which Chaka had sworn to me as a child. So it came about that where the king went, there I went with him. 1 slept near his hut, I sat behind him at council, in* the battle I was ever at his side.

CHAPTER V.

TELE CHANGING OF THE CHILDREN.

This was tho rule of the life of Chaka, that he would have no children, though he had many wives. Every child born to him of his "sisters" was slain at once. "What, Mopo!" he said to me. "Shall I rear up children to put me to the assegai whea they giot/ great? They call me tyrant. Say, how do kings die whom men name tyrants? They die at the hands of those whom they have bred. Nay, "Mopo, I will rule for my life, and when I join the spirits of my fathers let the strongest take my power and my BlaceJ"
