QUEEN MOKWAI,

champion Husband Killer OF Africa.)
over her subjects. She is at liberty to
wed or depose husband whenever she
pleases, and she lives quite up to her
opportunities in these respects. The
man she has honored by making him
her husband last year was No. Z. She
had killed all his predecessors, and it
is therefore very precarious under
taking to become the husband of
Queen Mokwai. No. had earned for
himself the universal respect of the
people by his kind and just treatment
of all. The people loved him, and
the queen could not stand that, for
jealousy and envy are the woman's
leading passions. So she had him
come to her hut to drink beer, and
two young men, armed with spears,
were stationed there with instruc
tions to kill the poor fellow when she
gave the signal. She gave the sign, but
the young men, less hard-hearted than
their mistress, hesitated. With n
curse the woman seized Portuguese
saber and ran her victim through. AS
he fell she remarked, contemptuously
"Thus has a thorn been removed from
my flesh"
This metaphor seems to be generally
employed when the queen desires to
announce the violent death of another
of her victims. DR.. Johnston says that
on one occasion the queen, after kill
ing n man with her own hand, sum-
moned her crier and ordered him to
announce to the town that 1.-The queen
lad had n thorn removed from her foot
this morning" He adds that MoLwai's
reign has been stained by many cruel
act of murder and bloodshed, and she
avenges herself particularly on those
who are the objects of her jealousy.
In his talk with the queen, Capt. Glib
bons, who had met her daughter, the
ruling princess of Sesheke, and her
husband, spoke in laudatory terms of
them. A full translation of her reply
is: "Oh, they are merely small fry.
L and Lewanika are the big wigs in
this part of the world"
Mokwai and her brother, the king,
have signed n treaty, placing their
country under the British flag, but as
yet, says the New York Sun, the Brit
ish have not established any semblance
of authority over the land, and this
savage queen is still ut liberty to kill
as many husbands and other persons as
she pleases.

indomitable. Yet even these well knew
the hopelessness Of the situation as de.
scribed. They were far too few In
number to undertake the pursuit and
attack of such a band as this. More
over, their own wives and children
would be left in danger were they to
take the field. 1t was even impossible
to persuade two or three of their num-
Der to ride post-haste on the trail of
the cavalry, who, at the first alarm
and on receipt of tidings that the In
dams had ridden away eastward to-
wards the Brazos. had taken the road
for Waco at dawn in hopes of heading
them off or driving them should they
attack the defenseless settlements.
There were, therefore, absolutely no
troops to go to the rescue of the stage
party, if, as seemed beyond hope, any
of them were still alive, and Lambert,
burning with eagerness TO do some
thing and tormented with anxiety as
to the fate of Brother Floyd" found
himself helpless.
a sergeant and some semi-invalided
men had been left in charge of camp,
and from these he gathered little in
formation, but not of an enlivening ma
ture. The nearest posts to the west
ward from which help might come
were McKavett and Concho, each over
a hundred miles away; but Concho, be-
ing on the left bank of the Colorado,
and doubtless warned by this time of
the Indian raid, could be sending cav
airy down the valley in pursuit. 1t
was expectation of this, probably, that
started the raiders eastward towards
the Brazos, where there were no troops,
and where, sweeping northward again
in wide circle, they might confidently
expect to get safely back to their wild
Businesses, leading the cavalry a stern
chase all the way. Shrewdest tacti-
clans of modern warfare as they are,
they had indeed already divided, one
party riding eastward as reported after
swooping down on the Caliente station,
and driving some of the stock ahead
Of them, for the sole purpose of draw
ing the Lampasas troop off in that di
rection, leaving the settlers along the
Colorado to the mercies of the other
and larger portion of the savage force.
There was no use now in sending
couriers after the troop 1t had five
hours start. 1t would be evening be-
fore the fleetest horse could overtake
the command. Lambert urged the
sergeant to give him a horse and arms,
mount three or four men, and let them
go with him, if only to reconnoiter.
Then some of the Texans who had no
families to defend might volunteer.

old southern garden, there to assure
her that she was pardoned, and then
TO tell her how she was loved. A charm
ing chateau en- Espagne was that which
the boy had builded; a sweet, sad, bliss
full, ecstatic parting was it all to be as
a result of his skillful use of his sud
den orders to Texas" but, like many
another well-laid plan, it went ludi-
crously aglee. She was there on the
veranda, romping with her kitten,
when he came and never made the
slightest reference to his departure.
He alluded gloomily to the fact that the
boat would be Nng in less than an
hour, and she cheerfully responded:
Eyes; All thought All huhd it's whistle
just a moment ago." and raced pussy
TO the far end of the gallery. He tried
other announcements with no better
success, and was bewildered and de-
feated and stung by her apparent
heartlessness and indifference when at
last he had to go, and went away mis-
erably jealous and wretchedly in love,
fairly beaten at his own game.
So gloomy and unlike himself was
Lambert that the two or three class
| mates who happened to be at Austin
were much surprised, and so absorbed
was he in his own woes and pangs that
not until he reached Lampasas did he
learn that the soldierly-loollng man
who rode all the way from the capital
with him was no less n person than
the Brevet Lieut. Col. Sweet of whom
he had heard so much at Tugaloo, and
who, promoted to the rank of ma jor,
was now on his way to report for duty
at frontier post. The stage with the
colonel rumbled away on its journey
for supper. Lambert went on out TO
camp, only to find that Corporal Wal
ton with four men had gone as escort
to that very stage, as there were ru-
mors that the Comanches and Lipans
were on the warpath again. 1t might
be four days before they returned. 1t
would he two before a stage went back
to Austin, and it was now nine o'clock
ut night.
The very next morning brought dire
full news. a big band of hostiles had
swooped down on the stage station at
the cIoSSlHS vi the CdiieHue, on Hl'es
10 the northwest, massacred everybody,
and run off the stock. The cavalry
troop in camp ut Lampasas was miles
away by the time the tidings reached
Lambert at the tavern in town. Then
came worse news. "A settler rode
squirting in from the Concho trail to
say that he had seen the Indians when
they attacked the stage with overpow-
ering numbers, and had just managed
10 escape with his own life. lie be-

The speaker was the captain Of a
party of Texas frontiersmen-rang
they were afterwards called, when
their organization was more complete:
but these were the days when the Lone
Star state was uninvaded by railways
and when to its very heart-far as the
capital - the savage Kiowas anu
Comanches often raided in full force,
ravaging the scattered settlements far
and wide. Lieut.. Lambert, his duty fin
;shed with his testimony In the case of
the deserter Riggs, had obtained permits
sion to delay his return few days and
taken stage to Lampasas, where Floyd
Walton was stationed with his troop.
Lambert would not willingly return
without seeing him and delivering In
person the little packages so hurriedly
prepared at the new home. Then, too.
there was no man in the army in whom
the young officer now felt so deep an in
terest. Was he not Katesie's brother,
and might not that brother have some
Influence over that obdurate heart?
1t was not the porter of the hotel who
went for these packages. It was Lam
bert himself, hoping, of course, to see
the young lady whom he had so sue
cessfully tormented the evening previ-
Gus; but his scheme had been check
mated in most absurdly unromantic
fashion. The New Orleans evening
paper among it's military items con-
tanned a brief paragraph to the effect
that Lieut.. Lambert was ordered over
TO Austin as a witness before court
martial there in session, but would re-
turn to the barracks in a week or ten
days, and this paper he had been care
less enough to leave on the veranda.
Katesie had gone miserably TO her
room, Esther had lit upon the para
graph, and in ten minutes Lambert's
melodramatic scheme was exploded.
Never would he forget the saucy merri-
ment in her pretty face when he APP
peared upon the scene that morning,
hoping and expecting to find her peni-
tent, piteous, and mutely begging to be
forgiven before he went away. He had

QUEEN OF THE MAROTSE.
Dusky Monarch Who Is Not as
Gentle as She Might Be.
She Has Already Killed Six Husbands
and In Now Living with No. Seven
Her Success as a 'sThorn
Remover

This is a picture of an African queen,
and she is a very important person in
her way. Every explorer who has en-
tered the large country of the Marotse
in the upper Zambesi valley within the
past few years has told of Queen
Mollwai. This picture of her is taken
from DR.. James Johnston's capital
book, Reality VS.. Romance" He met
the queen during his visit in 1912;
and Capt. A. S. II. Gibbons, of the Brit
ish army, who travelled in the Marotse
country hast year, has given further de-
tails about this remarkable but not par
ticularly admirable woman. In DR..
Johnston's picture of her she appears
with 25 slave girls sitting in half circle
around her.
Mokwai derives her importance
from an unwritten but time -honored
law of her country. She is the eldest
surviving sister of the ruling king and,
according to the unwritten constitu-
ton, without her advice and sanction
her brother, King Lewanilla, is de-
barred from giving effect to any i'm
portant measure. She holds the veto
power, and as she is a much more de-
termined character than her vacillat-
ing and pusillanimous brother, she is
the real power in the great Marotse
country. She lives at Nalolo, on the
Zambesi, about 20 miles below Lialui,
where the king resides, and when she
visits the capital Of the kingdom she
goes in state. When DR.. Johnston saw
her she had come to Sefula, near the
capital, attended by $50 women, to be
present at the marriage Of the kings
eldest son; and there was great flour
ish of trumpets when she and her
retinue of the gentlcr sex came into
view.
While nothing can be done in all-im-
portant affairs of state without con-
sulting queen Mokwai, she rules SUI
preme in the minor, local affairs of her
own district. Capt. Gibbons says. that
she holds the power of life and death

IT'S BAD SOMETIMES.
Laughter IL . Disease That May XIII
You.

Laughter is a disease.
This has been proved by numerous
cases which have come under the no.
tice of eminent neurologists, who have
declared even moderate laughter a
symptom of nervous hysteria- People
have died of laughing.
From Austria comes curious ac-
count of a man suffering from nerv-
Gus disease that manifested itself in
paroxysms of laughter. The patient,
whose case was described before the
Pschiatric and Neurological society
of Vienna, was 30 years of age and had
been subject for three years to fits Of
laughter, which occurred at first every
two or three months, gradually increas-
ing in frequency to a dozen or more
q day.
The attacks occurred especially be-
tween nine in the evening and $3.50
o'clock in the morning, and in greater
frequency between five and $3.50 o'clock.
Some occurred also during the day,
however the patient happened to be oc-
cuped.
In the intervals between the attacks
and Immediately before and after
ward the man was perfectly well. The
attacks set in with a tickling sensation
arising from the toes of the left foot,
and the patient would fall TO the ground
unless he could reach some place to
lie down. When the feeling reached the
level of the left nipple the patient lost
consciousness for a few seconds.
Often the patient lay upon his face.
The mouth and eyes were closed spas
medically, the eyeballs turned upward;
the pupils were dilated and unrespon-
sive to light.
At the height of the attack the patient
at first smiled and then laughed aloud
without other sign Of merriment The
entire attack occupied about two min
utes. On two occasions there was pro-
tracted loss of consciousness.-N. Y.

Eyes See by Their Own Light.

Helmholz has shown that the fund.-

In making an experiment he was able
10 see in total darkness the movements
of his arms by the light of his own eyes!
Oculists and Psychologists declare that
this is one of the most remarkable ex-
periments recorded in the history of the
sciences. Probably there are but few
men living who could satisfactorily re-
peat the experiment, for the reason that
it is very likely that the luminosity of
