All that night we watched, but we
neither saw nor heard any more of the
wolves nor of the men who hunted with
them, On the morrow, at dawn, sent
a runner to Bulalio, chief of the People
Of the AK, saving that a messenger came
to him from Dingaan, tho king, who de-
sired to speak with him in peace within
the gates Of his kraal | charged the
messenger, however. that he should not
tell my name, but should say only that
it was Mouth of Dingaan." Then |
and those with mo followed slowly on
the path.
Around the base of tho great Ghost
mountain we met no one, but once we
came to tho ruins of kraal, and in it
lay the broken bones Of many men, and
with the bones rusty assegais and the
remains of OK hide shields, black and
white in color. Now | examined the
shields and knew from their color that
they had been carried in the hands Of
those soldiers who years ago were sent
out by Chaka to seek for Umslopogaas
but who had returned no more

At length, an hour before shutdown,
we came TO the open lands, and there,
on the crest Of "A rise beyond the river
we saw the llraal Of the People of the
AK. 1t was IA great kraal and well
built, and their cattle were spread about
the plains like to herds Of game for num-
Der, We went to the river and passed
it by the ford, then sat down and waited,
till presently saw the man whom |
had sent forward returning toward us.
He came and saluted me, and asked
him for news.

"My heart tells me that this chicken of
a Slaughterer will grow to great cock
if his comb is not cut presently; and
thou, Mopo, art versed in cutting combs,
even of tho tallest.
II hear the king" answered again.
So. nv father. it came about that on
the morrow, taking with me but ten
chosen men, l, Mopo, started on my
Journey toward tho Ghost mountain,
and as journeyed l thought much Of
how | had trod that path in bygone
days. Then Macropha my wife, and
NADIA my daughter, and Umslopogaas
the son of Chaka, who was thought to
be my son, walked ct my side. Now,
as l imagined, all were dead and l
walked alone; doubtless / also should
soon be dead. Well, what did it matter?

On Chaka.
At length l came one night to that
lonely spot where we had camped in
borne away by tho lioness, and once
more 1 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 rs l gnzed | heard sound that
came from far away, out of tho heart Of
the forest as it seemed. At first it was
faint and far off, distant thing like
the cry of children in kraal across a
valley; then it grew louder, but still |
could not say what it might be; now 1t
swelled and swelled, and l knew tit
was the sound of wild beasts ut chase.
That pack was great which ran a-hunt-
ing through the silent night; and now
it was nigh, on the other side of the
slope only, aud the sound swelled so
loud that those who were with mo woke
also and looked forth.
Now Of sudden great loodoo bull
appeared for an instant standing out
against the sky on the crest of the ridge,
then vanished in the shadow. Ho 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 tho crest of the
rise, disappearing in the shadow, seen
again on the slope, lost in 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 tho 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 tho hand of the
other Il heavy club. Neck and neck they
ran; they came, they passed, they were
gone
