She rattled the hinges, tears of vexed excitement standing in her eves, then sat back on her heels panting from exertion. Suppose he had taken the keys with him! Suppose she couldn’t open this thing that seemed stout enough to resist her every effort! Sup- pose, . she had but to stretch her arm to its full length to have them as her own.

She forced herself to eat, then called the boy to her side. “Jeroge,” she said, “you must go to the bwana and see if he requires any help from you.” The boy hesitated. “Will memsahib Then she saw that bunch of keys|come with me?" he asked.

So he had set a black boy- on guard: over her! She tingled with the insult of it. She did not known that Fairways had but flung a hurried word across his shoul- ders as he tore off: “Look after the memsahib, Jeroge. See that no harm comes to her!"!

Her speed toned down to a sharp walk ar length. She had reached flatter land now; she turned to & rough track which led toward the Kness of a forest near at hand. The place was dark with dank cool ness which rose from steamy under growth. Here a parakeet screamed shrilly as her footsteps broke across the quiet, there some more stealthy creature rustled among a clump of coarse, high fern. For an hour she hurried along the rough track which grew narrower as she covere® nora of its meandering way.
