Umb.di.., tn. swat. King.


 beautiful young wife of the kings had in some innocent way displeased him. The order was given to smell her rible work. Executioners were told off, and they were sent out to tho young wife to tell her of her sentence. She dressed herself in her best ornaments, and deter mined to appear before the king to say goodbye" She had been the rulers playmate and favorite sweetheart as a child, and she ventured to send 0 message to him asking permission to say good bye" to him. The king refused the re- quest.
 Calmly preparing for death, the young woman dlsregarded the denial. and pro- ceeded to where his majesty" was sit ting, drinking champagne. She said to him: king, have come to say good bys;' tell me why you are killing me" The king vouchsafed no answer, and turned his face away. The poor woman proceeded to bid adieu to the other wives and girls of the monarch. They stood in 0 row, and as she walked down in front of them, she said: 1T am the first, but there will be more of you to come after me-" Without another word she quietly followed her executionere. They led her about three miles from the kraal, across the lillian river, and there hanged her on low, thorn tree. The reim by which she was suspended being too long, her feet nearly touched the ground, and strangulation was completed by beating the reim with sticks, the person of roy alty being sacred to the common touch.
