dered the sack, inside which the white
baboon was kicking violently, and
screaming like child. It was dreadful
to hear its shrieks.
1--WE scrambled down the sides Of the
kloof and ran for home as fast as we
could manage. When we were near the
waterfall and within about three hun
dred yards of the garden wall, we heard
a voice behind US, and there, leaping
from rock to rock, and running over the
grass, was the whole family Of balloons,
headed by the old man.
"'Run. rum gasped Hendrix, and did,
like the wind, leaving him far behind.
1 dashed into the garden, where some
Kafirs were working, crying: The baby,
ansl the babyansp Luckily the men
had their sticks and spears by them and
ran out just in time to save Hendrix,
who was almost overtaken- The
balloons made good fight for 1t, how
ever, and it was not till the old man was
killed with an sssegai that they ran
away.
"Well, there is . little hut in the
kraal at the stead where my father
sometimes shuts up natives who have
misbehaved. 1t is very strong. and has,
. barred window. To this hut Hendrix
carried the sack, and. having united the
mouth, put it down on the floor and ran

..No. father. dear, have not lost my

'No, father, dear, have not lost my
self, but have found somebody else"
At that moment stepped forward SO
that the light fell on me. The old gen
tleman on the couch rose with some dill
fculty and bowed with much courtesy.
He was a hne-looking old man, with
deep-set dark eyes, pale face that bore
many traces Of physical and mental SUI
iering, and long white beard
'rBe welcome, sir" he said. ut Is
long since we have seen white face In
these wilds, and yours, If am not mis-
taken, is that of an Englishman. There
has been no Englishman here for ten
years, and he, 1 grieve to say, was an
outcast flying from justice" and he
bowed again and stretched out his hand
1 looked at him, and then Of sudden
his name flashed back into my mind. 1
took his hand.
"How do you do, Mr.. carson9" 1 said:
He started back as though he had
been stung.
"Who told you that nameP he cried.

from the place, shutting the door behind
him. In another moment the poor lit
tie thing was out and dashing round the
stone hut as though it were mad 1t
sprung at the bars of the window, chung
there, and beat its head against them
till the blood came. Then it fell to the
floor, and sat there crying like child,
and rocking itself backward and for
ward. 1t was so sad to see it that be-
gan to cry, too.
Just then my father came In and
asked me what all the fuss was about t.
told him that we had caught young
white baboon, and he was angry, and
said that it must be let go. But when
he looked at it through the bars Of the
window he nearly fell down with aston
ishment.
'Whyp he said, this is not baboon,
1t Is white child that the balloons have
stolen and brought upp

"But to go on. My father said that 1t
was our duty to keep Henddka at any
cost The worst of it was that for three
days she would eat nothing, and !
thought that she would die, for all the
while she sat and walled. On the third
day, however, I went to the bars OF the
window-place and held out cup OF milk
and some fruit to her. She looked at II
for a long while, then crept up moaning,
took the milk from my hand and drank
1t greedily, and afterwards ate the fruit
From that time forward she took food
readily enough, but only If 1 would feed
her. But must tell you Of the dread
full end Of Hendrix. From the day thai
we captured Hendrika the whole place
began to swarm with balloons, which
were evidently employed in watching
the kraals. One day Hendrix went out
towards the hills alone to gather some
medicine. He did not come back again
so the next day search was made. By

found his scattered and broken bones,

dead balloons. They had set upon him
and torn him to pieces.
my father was very much frightened
at this, but still he would not let Hen
drika go, because he said she was
human, and that it was our duty to re-
claim her. And so we did-to certain
extent, at least. After the murder OF
Hendrix the balloons vanished from the
neighborhood, and have only returned
quite recently, so at length we vent
ured to let Hendrika out. By this
time she had grown very fond of me;
still, on the first opportunity, she ran
away. But in the evening she returned
again. She had been seeking the
balloons, and could not find them.
Shortly afterward she began to speak

has loved me so that she will not leave
me. I think it would kill her II went
away from her. She watches me all
day and at night sleeps on the floor OF

when I was swept down the river in a
food; but she is jealous, and hates

looked. Hendrika was tramping
along with the child in her arms and
staring at me in most sinister fashion
out of the corners of her eyes.
While l was rejecting on the baboon
woman's strange story and thinking
that she was an exceedingly awkward
customer, the path took a sudden turn.
"Lookr' said Stella, there Is our
house. Is it not beautiful"
It was beautiful indeed. Here on the
western side of the great peak bay had
been formed in the mountain, which
might have measured eight hundred or
thousand yards across by three-quar-
ters of mile in depth. At the back Of
the indentation the sheer cliff rose to
the height of several hundred feet, and
behind it and above 1t the great Babyan
Peak lowered up towards the heavens.
The space of ground, embraced thus in
the arms OF the mountain, as 1t were,
was laid out, as though by the cunning
hand of man, in three terraces that rose
one above the other. To the right and
left of the topmost terrace were chasms
in the cliff, and from each ehasm fell
q waterfall, from no great height, IN
deed, but Of considerable volume. These
two streams flowed away on either side
of the inclosed space, one towards the
north, and the other, the course OF
which we had been following, round the
base of the mountain. At each terrace
they made a cascade, so that the travel
er approaching had view Of eight
waterfalls at once. Along the
edge Of the stream to our left were
placed Kafir kraals, built IN orderly
groups with verandas, after the Basutu
fashion, and a very large part Of the en-
tire space of land was under cultivation.
All of this noted at once, as well as
the extraordinary richness and depth OF
the soil, which for many ages past had
been washed down from the mountain
heights. Then following the Line Of

CHAPTER VIII,

At length the last platform, or ter
race, WIS reached, and we pulled up out
side the wall surrounding the central
group of marble huts-for so / must call
them fer want of a better name. Our
approach had been observed by crowd
of natives, whose race l have never been
able to determine accurately; they be-
longcd to the Basutu and peaceful sec
ton of tho Bantu peoples rather than to
the Zulu and warlike. Several of these
ran up to take the horses, gazing on US
with establishment, not unmixed with
1--WE. We acknowledgement for
clvsclf, not without dificulty-indeed,
had it not been for Stella's support
should have fallen.
Now you must come and see my
father she said. Il wonder what he
will think Of it, it is all so strange
iIcDdrika, take the child to my hut and
i've her milk, then put her into my bed;
will come presently"
Hendrika went off with somewhat
ugly grin to do her mistress bidding.
and Stella led the way through the mar
Tow gateway in the marble wall, which
NAV have inclosed nearly half an ''erf, y
or threc-quarters of an acre of ground IN
all. 1t was beautifully planted as a gar
den, many European vegetables and
flowers were growing in it, besides 9th
ers with which / was not acquainted.
Presently VIC came to the center hut,
and it was then that l noticed the extra
ordinary beauty and finish of the mar
BILE masonry. In the hut, and facing the
gateway, was a modern door, rather
rudely fashioned of Bucken pont, q
beautiful reddish wood that has the APP
pearance of having been sedulously
pricked with pin. Stella opened 1t, and
we entered. The interior of the hut was
the size of large and lofty room, the
walls being formed of plain polished
marble. 1t was lighted somewhat dim
ly, but quite effectively, by peculiar
openings in the roof, from which the
rain was excluded by overhanging caves.
The marble floor was strewn with ma
tive mats and skins of animals. Book
cases filled with books were placed
against the walls, there was a table in
the center, chairs seated with rimpi or
strips of hide stood about, and beyond
the table was a couch on which q man
was lying reading.

that even after SO many years seemed
familiar to me. ''Where have you been
my dear? I began to think that you had
lost yourself again"
