the sky had faded to u lighter tint OF

shone so brightly had grown faint and
smoky; CLEANS Of pearl-gray seemed to

change reflected itself on the sensitive
shadows below-it was growing light.

very act he paused, his head half raised
in the attitude Of listening. whats
that, Hall?" he said at last, in low,
startled tone. Don't you hear some
thing?" My head was close to the
ground, resting on my arm, and sud-
denly as he spoke 1 heard something;
could il be the distant sound of q
lions growl? The idea flashed on my
mind, but it was for moment only.
No. il was not n growl, whatever it was.
IT was not loud, but ii seemed to creep
along the ground, low and threatening.
The sound was regular and beat on the
ear with the orderly vibrations of n
pulse. J.raised my head and looked at
Travers in the dim gray light. His
eyes were looking into mine. and his
grip had closed a little more tightly
on my arm, but his every energy seemed
to be absorbed in the effort TO hear. Al
most involuntarily | glanced once more
into the shadovy hollow below, and |
could sec at glance that we were not |
alone in our surprise. II was evident |
that the game had heard the sound. and |
II seemed equally clear that. like our-
serves, they were at loss to understand
it. Each head was lifted, as il 10 listen;

were at a loss-like ourselves, they
waited.
The noise grew louder and more dis
tinct, yet to me, at any rate, it was
rs unaccountable as ever. The ground
seemed TO tremble with strange, short
pulsations s, ch as had never felt be-
fore-could 1t be an earthquake? Twas
about to suggest il, when Travers raised
his hand as if TO warn me not to speak,
and so we waited for some seconds fac
ing one another, each resting ON his
elbow, each gazing questioningly into
the others face.
"Ah!" Travers whispered Mt last, let
ing his hand drop to his side. II have
IT." AS he spoke there was sudden
below us; the animals had
been as quick as my companion-they
also had made up their minds. 1t was
like q Transformation scene. Even as
i looked at them they vanished. and the
river gorge was gray, and silent, and

We saw them stream up the opposite
bank and pass silently out of sight

the last gray line had vanished into the
shadows. Travers sprang to his feet.

report this, the better for us all, sus-

Travers' grim reply, as he turned away
and began to retrace his steps. fol-
lowed him. feeling a little ashamed of
my question. The vision Of the SER
ricd ranks of these ghostly warriors
was with me still, and it seemed to an
swer my question. Once clear of the
dark shadow of our rock, il was lighter,
and we could even trace the path made
by the marching 1mpi over the grass
and through the underground of dwarf
shrubs without difficulty, We followed
il for some distance in silence, but when
we reached the angle of the Kopje 1t
suddenly turned off to the right. My
companion paused for moment az his
eyes followed the direction of the track.

Then he turned to the left by the track
we had taken before with the remark:
II thought so. Well. it was lucky we
broke bounds, after all. though sus-
pect the doctor won't give us much
credit for that"
Ten minutes more of hard walking
and we came in sight of the Makalesi
river and the post on the rising ground
beyond IL. Both were now bathed In
the first level light of the rising moon,
and IL was with sudden feeling of
unreasonable relief that l saw how
peaceful and undisturbed the place
looked. The sight appeared to affect
Travers differently. for he quiclSencd
his pace almost to run. and in less
than five minutes we had foclcd the
river and ascended the bank on the
side next the post. In another minute
we were challenged by the sentry. who
added, with laugh: "What have you
been up 20, Travers?"

"Whnt the mischiefs up, Travers?"
exclaimed the astonished sentry. The

likely 10 be for you. DO you want 10

There. Morris. don't bc fool You

The sentry's rejoinder was very en-
phatic, a. he wheeled and led the way
into the enclosure.

NO ROYAL ROAD TO LEARNING

lie who studies hard VIII rise
The earnest are deserving;
knowledge comes 10y sturdy knocks,
Unfiinching and unswerving
Remember. oh. ambitious soul,
For great achievements burning.
No one ever yet has found
A royal road 10 learning.
Brick by brick the walls go up.
Each fitted and cemented:
Through wearying days Of thought
Machinery is invented
Are you anxious to achieve?
For fame and fortune yearning?
Day by day you'll have to build
There's no royal road 10 learning.
In the busy marts of life
Drones are thrust aside UNDECIDED;
In the dusky mines of thought
Idlers are not needed
To some fixed and shining goal
Ever let your feet be turning;
Elevate your standard high
There's no royal road TO learning.
