blood Of NADIA the Lily and Of all those
who cling TO her"
"What!" he cried, "does the Lily then
live, as the captain thought"
"She lives, o king. She is wife to
the Slaughterer, and has put me, his
first VIE, away"
For little while Dingaan sat as
founded.
Then Zinita drew near and told Din
gaan the tale Of the birth Of Umslopo-
gaas and all that followed; and by many
a token and many deed OF TCheka's
that he remembered, Dingaan the king
knew that it was a true tale.
When at length she had done he sum-
moned the captain OF the regiment that
stood around. He was a great man
named Faku, and be also summoned
certain men who do the kings bidding
To the captain OF the impi he spoke
straightlY, saying:
Take three companies and guides
aud come by night TO the town OF the
People OF the AK that is by Ghost
mountain, and burn it and Stay all the
wizards who sleep therein. Most or all,
slay the chief OF the people, who Is
named Bulalio the Slaughterer, or UNI
slopogaas. Stay him by torture II you
may, but slay him and bring his head to
me. Take that wife Of his who is known
as NADIA the Lily alive, il We may, and
bring her TO me, for l would cause her
TO be slain here. Bring the cattle also.
Now 60, and go swiftly, this hour. If
We retur having failed in one Jot OF my
command ye die, every one Of you've
die, and slowly. BegOnem
The captain saluted and running TO
his regiment issued a command. Three
full companies leaped forward at his
word and ran after him through the
gates Of the kraal Umgugundhlovu,
heading for the Ghost mountain.
Then the king commanded those who
do his bidding that they should take the
children of Zinita and STAY them. Pres
emily they slew her also.
Galazi sat on the lap Of the Stone
Witch aud gazed idly toward the kraal
of the People of the AK, and as he gazed
his eyes caught a CLEAN of light that
seemed % travel In aud out OF the edge
Of the shadow Of Ghost Mountain. He
started aud watched. 10 was a little
impi running in companies, and each
man had an assegai and shield.
Now Galazi knew well that these were
the kings dogs and their game was men,
a big kraal OF sleeping men, otherwise
there had been fewer dogs. GaaZi
wondered whom they sought. All.
Now they turned TO the ford and he
knew. 10 was his brother UmSlopogaas
and NADIA the Lily and the People OF the
Ak. These were the kings dogs, and
Zinita had let them slip.
Galazj bounded to his feet. From
bowlier to bowlder be leaped like a
buck, he crashed through the brake
like bull, he skinned the level like
a swallow. The mountain was done
with now; there in front lay the river,
foaming iu its flood. All, a good leap
far into the torrent. IL is strong, but
he breasts it. He is through, and away
up the narrow gorge Of stone to the
long slope.
Before him Is the town. All. they are

grass the long line Of the Slayers. Six
spear throws 10 run and they have but
such a little way, The mealie.plants
are tall and at a spot they almost touch
the fence. He is there, hidden by the
mealle stalks, and there along the fence
10 the right and TO the left the Slayers
! creep,
Wow. What was that?" said one
man OF the king TO another man, as
they Joined their guard, completing the
death circle. "Wow, Something great
and black crashed through the fence
before me"
81 heard it, brother" answered the
other man.
lis your fire ready, brother? Wow
These wizards shall wake warm! The
signal should be soon"
Then arose the sound of a great voice,
crying:
awake, ye sleepers! The foe is al
your gates"
