great barbarian freed himself from the
burden of the girl by throwing her

as the weapon flashed upward, he

took the bride of the princes mule

Then he turned to seek his own, but
the animal had wandered. and full
half hour went by before he could be
captured.
By now the sun had set, and as there
is little or no twilight in southern Afri-
ca, it became difficult for the two trav-

hill path. Still they stumbled on till
presently the long, dead grass brush
ing against their knees told them that
they had lost their road. They knew,
indeed, that they We're riding in the
right direction, for the watch fires
burning on the city walls were a guide

So. holding their mules by the brides,

The sun that shOne upon a day that
was gathered to the past some 5000
years ago was setting in fun glory over
the eXpanSss of southeastern Africa

burning rays fell upon cavalcade of
weary men, who. together with long
strings of camels, asses. and oxen,
after much toll, had struggled to the
crest Of line of stony hills. where they
halted TO recover breath. Before them
lay Il plain clothed with sere yellow
grass-for the season was winter
bounded by mountains of no great
height. upon whose slopes stood the
city which they had Travelled far to
seek. IT was the ancient city Zimboe
whereof the lonely ruins are known to
US moderns as Zimbabwe.
At the sight of its fiat-roofed houses
dominated by huge circular building
of dark stone. set upon the side of the
opposing hill. the caravan raised a
great shout Of Joy. They shouted in
several tongues, in the tongues of Phoe-
nicia. of Egypt, of the Hebrews. of Ara
bia, and OF the coasts Of Africa, for all

LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.


Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then seab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Ny
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaperilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 415 South Williams St.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure 60 get only Hoods.

AUTHORS NOTE.


The world is full of ruins. but few
of them have an origin so utterly lost
in mystery as those Of Zimbabwe. Who
built them? What purpose did they
serve? These are questions that must
have perplexed many generations and
many different races of men.
The researches Of Mr.. Wilmot prove
to US indeed that in the middle ages
Zambabwe or Zimboe was the seat of
a barbarous empire. whose ruler was
named the Emperor Of MonomOtapa.
and that for some years the Jesuits
ministered in a Christian church built
beneath the shadow of its ancient
towers. But of the original purpose of
those towers and of the race that
reared them, the inhabitants of
medieval Monomotapa, it is probable,
knew less even than we know today.
The labors and skilled observation of
the late Mr. Theodore Bent, whose
death is so great a loss to all interested
in such matters, have shown almost
without doubt that Zimbabwe was once
