And Richenda went to meet it in wonderful frank purity—with the trusting innocence of a little child. After some hours of traveling in the rumbling East African train, they dis- mounted at a tiny wayside station. The boys they had brought with them speedily stored the camp equipment into primitive bullock carts and the three Europeans took their seats in a rickety, mule-drawn vehicle, which complied to no particular standard of carriage. It appeared to depend much upon various bits of wire and rope for the keeping of its shaky parts to- gether. Nevertheless, the Indian sta- tion master, from whom Fairways hired the thing, and who also supplied a driver who was supposed to be com- petent of guiding them to a good camping ground, demanded an exorbi- tant sum in_return for the loan of these commodities. The mules alternated between scampering along at a rattling pace which hid the bullock carts, following far behind, in a tremendous cloud of choking dust, and suddenly refusing to proceed at any rate at all. The more mangy animal of the two had a disturbing habit of attempting to sit on its haunches in the middle of the track—which could not by any shade of imagination be called a road—its companion was an adept at a certain type of side step which may occasion- ally be seen practiced in the modern ballroom. The two women found this progress 3 new and very trying experience They were glad when, half way up the slope of a grass-covered hillside, the vehicle was brought to a halt and the Kikuyu attendant, with an empty INSTALLMENT XVIIL L iz Richenda’s voice was such a thing to you again still felt that behind this profferef frank friendliness, and the more she “PLENTY KONGONI, PLENTY ZIMBA.” strove in this endeavor, the more that warning voice in her soul told her that Lucille Davenant was playing a game with her, and had been playing a game with her from the very moment they met. A queer dogged obstinacy made Richenda vow that she would find out what plot lay behind those close-set blue eves. Well, she, Richenda Peierson, could play games too when it suited her pur- “Don’t bother about it any more, Lucille,” she said. “Of course you were overwrought. Let us forget it We'll go and have tea and talk of— hats.” The following week Richenda, Lu- cllle and Fairways left Nairobi on the somewhat deferred shooting expedi- tion. Mrs. Davensnt was entirely her gay charming self again. She exhibited a gentle solicitude for Richenda's wel- fare and her attempts to wipe out the memory of her unpleasant outburst were rather pathetic. “I've sent the cable,” she whispered, “and they have wired back that it's all right. 1 can have as much ant. Oh, Dickie, why was I such a fool that morning The three were, apparently, back again on their old friendly footing, but that little warning premonition which told Richenda not to trust this woman was still in evidence outwardly the girl was friend] - fore. In her heart she knew that it was not for the sake of Lucille Dave- nant that she had agreed to join this trip. Something new had come to Rich- enda Peterson, something _strange, which gave a little heightening color to her cheeks, something which at odd moments brought lilting snatches of song to her lips. She was gning to analyze that some- thing. She “as content to let the fate that had brdught her to this unknown country %ead her blindfold on. Some- where ' front there lay a destined end. And Brett loved her! His- eyes, touch, and smile were telling her so more frankly as the brief days passed by. Soon his 8o there had been a definite meaning to her dream. A verse she loved came across her mind **fwo shall be born the whole wide world apart . and bend each wandering step to this one end—that, one day, out of darkness they shall meet, and read life’s meaning in each other’s eves.” * " Life's meaning! She had read it in Brett Fairways’ ey She wondered if her own spoke as plain She wonderful if Lucille saw, too. And—glorious thought — nothing could come between them! He was hers—she his—by destiny. Now they were going out to the wide silences, away from the dusty crudeness of the noisy mushroom town. He and she together. For a moment she forgot Lucille Davenant.

His own boy came forward as in- terpreter. “He mean game, bwana— buck and—simba. I no get your Ing- lees name for simba, but he make big noise 8o . . . A telling imitation of a fed llon was performed before them. “That's frightfully exciting,” cried Lucille. “Brett, youll have your hands full taking eare of two nice plump julcy females if there are many of those things around.” In an incredibly short space of time their little camp was ready. The four natives whom they had brought from Nairobl proved willing and experi- enced henchmen and the small canvas safari tents were quickly erected in a sheltered hollow half way down the round bosomed windswept hiliside. Behind their camp mountains rose in broken chains and isolated clumps and stretched away to a mighty line on the horizon and below lay intermin- able miles of rolling plain, broken THE EVENING STAR.

Far away one or two small farms nestled on the slopes of gentle hill land. These lay among dark green patches of coffee plantation and, dotted around them, could be seen tiny moving specks which-told of graz- ing cattle. In a heat-bathed valley, near at hand, a cluster of native huts were grouped, low leaf walled dwellings crowned by domed thatches of ragged grass. Naked brown bables tumbied around them, wild-looking men with red clay molded in their hair, fash- ioned arrows over the heat of the tri- bal fire, while shaven-headed women, hung with heavy wire ' necklets, crooned over the cooking pots.
