CHAPTER VII.
IN THE ENENy's GAVIN

Noone was more surprisedthan Mary at
the sudden friendship which hadarisen
between her eccentric lodger and DR..
Hyde. The ways of men were not
strange to her, but she had never seen
anything SO strange as this. Two per-
sons more opposite in character it would
have been difficult to find, yet the next
morning, when Mr.. Barker started for
Southampton. George was there wait
ing for him, and looking after him as
if he had known him for years.
Cinci did not go; his master told him
to stay and look after the boy, threaten
Ing him with dire pains and penalties
should anything go wrong.
And he is to have the run of my
rooms as a Playground" the old gentle
man said. LET him make as much
noise as he likes. Mary, my dear. the
next time you see me you will very like
ly see your Uncle Michael as well. 1
may not return for two or three days.
but do not be afraid; Mr.. Hyde will
take care of me, for your sake"
u am sure he WILL said Mary, in
nocently.
For she had no idea of anything but,
the most pure. frank friendship for her
husbands old companion, but the first
idea came When she saw the self-con-
scipus change in Georges face: and she
was not a little troubled. Could she
have been mistaken in thinking he was
engaged to Miss Allenby? and did he
care for her in a way that was more
than brotlerlyy Mary took that posi-.
billy into her mind with a sweet sense
OF surprise and pleasure, not mattend-
ed by pain. T1leir relationship. so far,
had been SO entirely confidential and
nnselfish. any change would throw a re-
straint upon it. however it might end.
Mary had grown very fond of Mr..
Barker; of course. her child's love for
the singular old gentleman was a direct
passport to her heart: but it was not
that alone. She found herself hoping
that Uncle Michael would be like him
even to his oddities. She knew him
so well by this time; his terrific treat
ment of poor Mr.. Parker only amused
her now, and she told that young dis
cIple OF Galen not to mind him.
But he has such a dreadful voice.
Mr. Parker urged. II have heard say
tho human voice viii frlghten i lion.

Killings. The missionaries have tho
place now and the slaughter is going
merrily on. Soft words won't stop it.
1t takes something more than that to
put the fear Of God into those blacks.
But | am drifting away from my story.
Some old women OF influence had died
and accordingly, to celebrate the oc-
casion. o slave had to be sacrificed.
He was dashed fast in a kind of a Seat
and a plant stem about fifteen feet
long stuck into the ground near him.
The top of it was bent orer and tied
fast to his head. 50 that his neck was
us taut as n tiddlc-string. That was
the first time / had seen Them use Que
of their soft iron knives, and l expect
ed to see the, poor fellows neck bag
glcd into rags, but l heard only a click
when it struck the bones of the spinal
column, and the mans head shot away
like pebble in a sling. A fountain Of
blood spurted from his neck. and the
body worked and twitched exactly as a
chicken does when its head is cut off.
The head when picked up was chatter
ing its jaws and rolling its eyes.
Its awful, the amount of killing
that goes on in Africa. A tribe will
make up a party and 60 out to make
captivcs in an adjoining village. They
wait until after night and then fire up
on the village until its defenders are
killed. They take the rest of the folk
and make slaves of them. Some are
killed for the mere fun of killing them.
some are slaughtered to be eaten. some
for sacrifice. and others die from cruel
treatment. About five out of every six
captives taken die by violence. As a
consequence interior Africa is being
rapidly depopulated. One may go for
hundreds Of miles and moi see n man,
but may note the charred stumps which
mark who're Villages have once BEEN"
