Among the partially uniformed blacks was a huge fellow in the tunic of a sergeant and as this man's eyes fell upon the British officer, a loud cry of exultation broke from his lips, and immediately his followers took up the cry and pressed forward to bait the prisoner. “Where did you get the English- man?” asked Usanga, the bluck ser- geant, of the chief Numabo. “Are there many morg with him?” “He came down from the sky,” re- plied the native chief, “in a strange thing that files like a bird which frightened us very much at first; but we watched for a long time and saw that it did not seem to be alive, ond when this white man left it we at- tacked him and though he killed some ec ec e e eo 3 is e warriors. x Usanga's eyes went wide. “He flew ~‘here through the sky?’ he asked. “"Yes," said Numabo. “In a great still there where it came down close to the four trees near the second | bend in the river.

It is thing which filled the hearts of our soldiers with terror, for it flew over our camps at night and dropped Lombs upon us. It is well that you captured this white man, Numiabo, for with his great bird he would have flown over your village to-night and killed all your people. These English- men are very wicked white men.” “He will fly no more,” said Numabo. “It is not intended that a man should fly through the air; only wicked de- mons do such things as that and Numabog, the chief, will that this white man does not do it again,” and with the words he pushed the young officer roughly toward a hut in the centre of the village where he was left under the guard of two stalwart warriors, For an hour or more the prisoner was left to his own devices, which con- sited in vain and unremitting at- tempts to loosen the strands which fettered his wrists, and then he was interrupted by the appearance of the black sergeant Usanga, who entered his hut and approached him. “What are they going to do with me?” asked the Englishman, “My country js, not at war with these peo- ple. You speak their language. ‘Tell them that I am not an enemy, that my people are the friends of the black people and that they must let me go in peace,” Usanga laughed. “They do not know an Englishman from a German,” he replied. “It is nothing to them what you are, except that you are a white man and an enemy.” “Then why did they take me alive?” asked the lieutenant. “Come,” said Usanga and he led the Englishman to the doorway of the hut. “Look,” he sajd, and pointed a black forefinger toward the end of the village street where a wider space between the huts left a sort of plaza Here Lieutenant Harold Percy Smith-Oldwick saw a number of Ne- gresses engaged in laying fagots around a stake and in preparing fires beneath a number of large cooking vessels. The sinister suggestion was only too obvious, Usanga was eyeing the white man closely, but if he expeeted to be re- warded by any signs of fear, he was doomed to disappointment ‘and the young lieutenant merely turned to- ward him with a shrug: “Really now, do you beggars intend eating me? ‘Not my people,” replied Usanga. ‘We do pot eat human flesh, but the Wemabdh do. it is they who. will eat you, but we will kill you for the feast, © 6 e a s ly n a y r, 7 a h d dd id h The Englishman remained standing ways a puzzled expression upon her face as though she found in him an enigma which she could not solve. As a matter of fact, her feelings toward him were not untinged with aw since in the brief period of their as-. sociation ghe had discovered in this hand: godlike giant the attri- butes of the superman and the sav- age beast closely intermingled. At: first she had felt only that unreason- ing feminine terror which her wun happy position naturally, induced. | To be alone in the heart of an un- explored wil lerness of Central Africa with a savale wild man was in itself sufficiently appalling, but to feel aleo that this man was a blood enemy, that he hated her and her kind and that in addition: thereto he owed her a personal grudge for an attack she had made upon him in the past, left no loophole for any hope that he might accord her even the minertest measure of consideration, She had seen him first months since when he had entered the head- quarters of the German high command in East Africa and carried off tl luckless Major Schneider, of whos fate no hint hi ever reached the Germen officers; and she had seen him again upon that occasion when he had rescued her from the clutches of theslion and after explaining to her that he had recognized her in the British camp, had made her pris- oner, It was, then that she had + struck him down with the butt of her pistol and escaped.
