walked at my side. Now. as | imagined
all were dead and / walked alone;
doubtless also should soon be dead.
Well. what did 1t matter? At least L
had wrecked vengeance on Chaka.
At last one night we came to that
lonely spot where we had camped in the
evil hour when UmsIopogaas was borne
away by the lioness, and once more
looked upon the cave whence he had
dragged the cub and upon the awful
face of the Stone Witch, who sits aloft
upon the Ghost mountain forever and
forever.
So sat and gazed on the mountain,
and as | gazed / heard sound that
came from far away, out OF the heart OF
the forest as it seemed. At first 1t was
faint and far of, distant thing ike
the cry of children in kraal across
valley; then it grew louder, but still L
could not say what it might be; now 1t
swelled and swelled. and l knew tit
was the sound of wild beasts at chase.
The pack was great which ran a-hunt-
ing through the silent night; and now
it was night, on the other side OF the
slope only, and the sound swelled so
loud that those who were with me awoke
also and looked forth.
Now OF a sudden a great koodoo Dull
appeared for an instant standing out
against the sky on the crest OF the ridge,
then vanished in the shadow. He was
running toward us; presently we saw
him again speeding on his path with
great bounds. We saw this also-forms
gray and gaunt and galloping, in num-
Der countless, that leaped along upon
his path, appearing on the crest OF the
rise, disappearing in the shadow, seen
again on the slope, lostin the valley, and
with them two other shapes, the shapes
of men. Now the big buck bounded
past us not half spears throw away,
and behind him streamed the countless
wolves, and from the threats OF the
wolves went up that awful music. And
who were these two that came with the
wolves, shapes Of men great and strong?
They ran silently and swift; wolves
teeth cleaned upon their heads, wolves
hides hung about their shoulders. In
the hand of one was an aX-the moon
light shone upon tin the hand OF the
other a heavy club. Neck and neck they
ran; they came, they passed. they were
gone.

From San Diego, CAL, comes the fol-
lowing letter, which is herewith print
ed, because it is of interest to so many
of our readers:
"SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 5.
'Mr. William Nye:
DEAR SIR-Inclosed please find circu-
lars, which we wish you would peruse.
We are forming the San Miguel Bald

pose to Issue policies upon instalment
plan, namely, quarter inch growth,
quarter pay; half inch growth, half pay;
three-quarter inch growth, three
quarter pay, and full restoration
of luxuriant growth the full
premium, which is $4,000. Inspectors
are appointed in each city, and receive
compensation as premiums are paid.
We tender you the presidency upon
compensation that we will make salts

affairs, making Chicago or New York
your headquarters, we will approve. We
address you In all seriousness, and. as
directors will have the leading citizens
OF this city. You may telegraph the
Hon. John d. Works. OF the firm oil
Works, Gibson & Titus. These waters
have grown the hair upon the head OF
his partner, Mr.. Titus, who was "shiny
bald" since twenty-five years OF age;
also upon the head of our city engineer,
who lost his hair fifteen years ago In
Java. We have the hair growing. upon
about forty heads which were bald. In
fact we have not missed head. We
grew the hair upon man over seventy
years OF age.
"Mr. Nye, these waters do all that we
say, and / refer you to the Studeoaker
Bros. Mr.. P. E. and Mr.. j. M. and
Mrs. Studebaker visited these waters
last week. These waters impart new
yigor, extending years-the marvel OF
the age. We hope to grow new race
of Methuselahs. IL may strike you
strangely, but nevertheless they are in
deed miraculous waters. Kindly con-
slider this matter seriously and advise
US. We shall await your answer anx-
iously. Yours, very respectfully,

that pure life and lovely disposition

The San Miguel Baldheaded lnsur-

CHAPTER Xxx.

NTOPO GOES TO SEEK THE sLAUGHTERER.
Now Dingaan, DESERVING the kraal
Duguza, moved back to Zululand and
built great kraal by the Mahlabatinc,
which he named "UmgugundhlOvu"-
that is, ''the rambling Of the elephant"
Also, be caused all the fairest girls in
the land to be sought out as his wives,
and though many were found yet he
craved for more. And at this time a
rumor came to the ears of the king Din
gaan that there lived in Swaziland
among the Halakazi tribe a girl OF the
most wonderful beauty, who was named
the Lily and whose skin was whittier than
are the skins of our people, and he de-
sired greatly to have the girl to wife. So
Dingaan sent an embassy TO the chief OF
the Halakazi, demanding that the girl
should be given to him.
This was the message ofthe chief of the
Halakazi: That the maid who was named
the Lily was indeed the wonder of the
earth and as yet unwed; for she had
found no man upon whom she looked
with favor, and she was held in such
love by this people that it was not their
wish to force any husband on her.
Moreover, the chief said that he and his
people defied Dingaan and the Zulus, as
their fathers had defed Chaka before
him, and Spat upon his name, and that
no maid Of theirs should 60 to be the
wife OF Zulu dog. Then the chief of
the Halakazi caused the maid who was
named the Lily to be led before the mes
sengerS Of Dingaan, and they found her
wonderfully fair, for so they said; She
was tall as reed and her grace was the
grace of reed that is shaken in the
wind. Moreover, her hair curled and
hung Rpon her shoulders; her eyes were
large and brown and soft as bucks,
her color was the color of rich cream,
her smile was like ripple on the
waters, and when she spoke her voice
was low and Sweeter than the sound Of
an instrument OF music.
Now, when Dlngaan heard this mes
sage he grew mad as a lion in a net, for
he desired this maid above everything,
and yet be who had all things could not
win the maid. This was his command,
that q great impi should be gathered
and sent to Swaziland against the Hala-
kali tribe, to destroy them and seize the
maid. But when the matter came on to
be discussed with the indunas in the
presence Of the king, at the Amapakita,
or council. i, as chief Of the indunas,
spoke against Il, saying fhat the tribe Of
the Halakazi were great and strong and

Already of Worrying

OFFICE HUNTERS PLENTY.

Mayor Wanser this morning received
the Resolution Book from the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners, In
which were engrossed all the resolutions
adopted at last Monday mornings ses-
sion of that Board. His Honor retired to
his private room, partially to escape from
Jacob Ringle and Joe Locke, who were
among his early visitors. but more par
ticularly to peruse the Resolution Book.
Secretary Weart was summoned and
then the resolutions were dissected. The
payrolls for street paving and cleaning
streets and sewers were the subjects of
dissection. His Honor was at first not
inclined to sign them, but az noon 1t was
stated on good authority the proceedings
OF the Street and Water Commissioners at
their last session would be approved.

Tne late Orestes Cleveland spent the
morning about City Hall, and had con-
1dential chat with his successor. Street

the award to P. J. Condor Of the con-
tract for the erection OF the new station

NO SCHOOL TICKLER.
1t was rumored that the Mayor would
send a communication to the Board of
Education in relation to several I'M
portant matters that will require the at
tention of the Directors, but the idea has
been abandoned. Mayor Wanser prefers
permitting his friends in the Board to use
their own Judgment in all matters that
will come before them.
OFFICE HUNTING.
Rumor has 1t also that Joe" Locke Is
pulling wires to be appointed an assess
ment Commissioner. Mayor Wanser
cannot, under the law. appoint these
officials until after May 15. Jane Hunt,

and His Honor refuses point blank to
even intimate who the fortunate ones Will
be. The gentlemen who are to be ap-
pointed. however, are said to be men
named by Postmaster Dickinson, who, 1t
seems, controls Mayor Wanser's every
action.
Mayor Wanser's every attempt to at
tack any portion of the city government
under control of Democratic leaders has
so far been met with positive defeat,
backed up in each case with a clear and
honest statement of facts He has been
beaten at every point, and his most inti-
mate friends now state that he has
decided not to make any further assault
upon his political enemies until some
thing occurs which will justify him in
doing SO.
If this be fact. harmony will prevail
in every branch of the city government
for the next two years.

KILLED BY THE WILDCAT.

Coroner's Inquest Touching That Erie
Tunnel Tragedy.
Coroner Faherty and jury at Roche's
Hall last evening began an Investigation
of the death OF Frank Smith, trackman,
who was killed last Tuesday night in the
Erie Tunnel by wildcat engine. William
Farrell was foreman of the ju ry. Several
witnesses were examined, all of whose
testimony Indicated that the company is
not responsible for Smiths death.
Paul Allen, foreman of the gang of
trackmen, testified that he was seventy
five feet away from Smith when all hands
got out of the way of freight train. He
hollored to Smith to watch out for the
wildcat that was coming from an oppo-
site direction. He saw Smith
standing in the ditch eight feet
away from the track on which
the wild cat was running. What
possessed him to climb the ditch side and
attempt to cross the track in front of it
he could not imagine. He did not see
him do so and was surprised when Joe
Ryan, another trackman hollered TO him
that Smith had been run over.
Aliens evidence was not contradicted,
but some important witnesses were ab-
sent Coroner Faherty adjourned the
inquest until next Wednesday evening.
