A score of things that they could not see rustled through the darkness about them. Richenda, urged into mental effort, reckoned that they must have covered more than 40 miles. Surely, oh, surely, the farm must be very near now! The car crawled painfully on, slower now, still slower.

Cold, hungry, alone—all the woes of the world seemed balanced on her slender shouldets. Ali Mutagayo came to her side again. She wondered how he could smile like that. “‘Memsahib, I think there is a village over there,” his broken English told her. “This is the native reserv So that was why they had seen 'no slgn of European habitation all these miles! . “If the memsahlb will promise plenty of baksheesh for-the Kikuyus perhaps they wiil come and push us.”’ “Baksheesh?
