around me by tens and by twenties and

the wolves hunt, and what bid them
that they do. Stay, Umslopogaas, now
you are strong again, and you shall see
this very night.
Then Umslopogaas rose and laughed
aloud. II am young in years, he cried,
"and scarcely come to the full strength
Of men, yet hitherto have not turned

head, and he took q spear in his hand
Galazi also bound on the hide Of the
king of the wolves, and they went out
on to the space before the cave. Galazi
stood there awhile and the moonlight
fell upon him, and Umslopogaas saw
that his face grew wild and beastlike,
that his eyesshone and his teeth grinned
beneath his curling lips. He lifted up
his head and howled out upon the night
Thrice Galazi lifted up his head, and
thrice he howled loudly, and yet more
loud. But before ever the echoes had

CHAPTER XIII.

THE DEATH OF THE KINGS sLAYERs.
When Umslopogaas heard these words
his heart was heavy and great anger
burned in his breast, for he Thought that
l, Mopo, was dead with the rest of
his house, and he loved me. But he
said nothing; only watching till none
were looking he slipped past the cap
tains and won the door of the hut. Soon
he was clear of the kraal, and crossed
the river to the Ghost mountain Mean
while the captain asked the headman of
the kraal if he knew anything of him
for whom they sought The headman
told the captain of Galazi the Wolf. but
the captain said that this could not be
he, for Galazi had dwelt many moons
upon the Ghost mountain.
"There is another YOUTH" said the
head man, "a stranger, fierce and strong
and tall. He sits yonder in the shadow.
The captain rose and looked into the
shadow, but Umslopogaas was gone.
''Now this youth is fled, said the head
man, land yet none saw him fly! Per
haps he also is wizard! Indeed have
heard that now there are two of them
upon the Ghost mountain, and that they
hunt there at night with the ghost
wolves, but do not know if it is true.
"Ncw am minded to slay you, said
the captain in wrath, because you have
suffered this youth to escape me! With
out doubt it is Umslopogaas, son of
Mopo."
.'It is no fault of mine" said the head
man. "These young men are wizards
who can pass hither and thither at will.
But say this to you, captain of the
king: If you will go on the Ghost noun
tain you must go there alone with your
soldiers, for none in these parts dare to
tread upon that mountain"
"Yet shall dare tomorrow" said the
captain. I'VE grow brave at the kraal
Of Chaka. The sun sets. Give US food.
Tomorrow we will search the noun
tain"
Now Umslopogaas reached the noun
tain, sat himself down at the mouth OF
the cave waiting for Galazi and he
thought. Presently Galazi came and in
few words Umslopogaas told him all
his tale.
You have run a great risk, my
brother, /" said Galazi "What nowY
"This, said Umslopogaas; these peo-
pie of ours are hungry for the blood Of
men. Let us feed them full on the
soldiers of Chaka, who git yonder at the
kraal seeking my life I would take
vengeance for Mopo, my father, and all
my brethren who are dead, and for my
mothers, the wives of Mopo. What say

Gaazi laughed aloud. '.That will be
merry, my brother" he said. II weary
of hunting beasts; let us hunt men to-
night"
"Aye, tonight" said Umslopogaas
nodding. 81 long to look upon that cap
tain as maid longs for her lovers kiss
But first let us rest and eat. for the night
is young: then. Galazi, summon our
impi."
So they rested and ate, and afterward
went out armed, and Galazi howled to
the wolves and they came in tens and in
twenties, till all were gathered together
Galazi moved among them, shaking
the Watcher, as they sat upon their
launches and followed him with their
fiery eyes.
Eve do not hunt game tonight, little
people, he cried, "but men, and ye love
the flesh of men,"

Now all the wolves howled as though
they understood. Then the pack divided
themselves, as was their custom, the she
wolves following Umslopogaas the dog
wolves following Galazi, and in silence
they moved swiftly down toward the
plain. They came to the river and swan
1t, and there on the farther side of the
river was the kraal. Now the wolf
brethren took counsel together. and Ga
lazi, with the dog wolves, went to the
north gate, and Umslopogaas, with the
she wolves, to the south gate. The gates
were stopped with thorns, but the bretn
rem pulled out the thorns and made a
passage
AS they did this dogs ran out bark
ing, and presently came to the south
gate of the kraal and flew at Umslopo.

'sNow must not be seen thus of men

.DREYFUS IS
CONVICTED BY THE
COURT-M MARTIAL
Continued from First Page.

AS a rule the Judgment rendered by a
court-martial is on the appeal OF the
convicted man submitted to a council
Of revision, the duty of which is TO see
that all the legal requirements have
been carried out in the conduct OF the
case. II merely reVises the case tech
nically. passing no Judgment on the
conclusions of the court-martial ana
hearing no witnesses, but simply reVis-
ing the case to see if it has been con-
Quoted strictly according t. procedure
prescribed by law. But the limits with
in which the Rennes court-martial
could exercise its jurisdiction having
been laid down by the Court of Cassa-
tion or Supreme Court, the question is
whether il is the council Of revision or
Court of Cessation that VIII pronounce
upon the present Judgment
The Figaro has consulted an eminent
lawyer on this matter. He briefly puts
the case as follows: The judgment OF
the court-martial is inseparably bound
up with the revision procedure. 1t
must in consequence remain in har-
mony with the terms Of the judgment
which sent the affair before it, 1t con-
sttutes. in fact an act of jurisdiction
prescribed by the Supreme Court, de-
fined BY it and on which alone ii has
a right to exercise its censorship. In
a revision case the ordinary procedure
is not followed. It is by the Court of
Cessation that a court-martial is called
into existence. 1t is from the former
that the latter derives its power. There
fore the Court of Cessation alone has
the power to judge the manner in which
the COurt-martial has exercised its
power.

DIR. KILMER's REMEDIES.
DR.. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
Is Not Recommended for Everything
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble It Will Be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition;
beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys are out Of
order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so preva-
lent that it is not uncommon for
child to be born afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urinates too often.
if the urine scalds the flesh. or If, when
the child reaches an age when it should
be able to control the passage, and it
is yet afflicted with bed-wetting. de-
pend upon it, the cause of the difficulty
is kidney trouble, and the first step
should be toward the treatment of these
important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition
of the kidneys and bladder and not to
a habit as most people suppose.
So we find that women as we'll as
men are made miserable with kidney
and bladder trouble and both need the
same remedy The mild and the i'm
mediate effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t is sold by druggists, in

HOW THE NEWS WAS
RECEIVED BY PARISlANS

PARIS, Sept. 9-At o'clock this
evening every available cafe seat in
the boulevards was occupied. and
minor scuffles were frequent. At about
o'clock the Gaulois exhibited to an
enormous crowd a placard on which
were the words "Vive fArmee, y
which indicated that the verdict was
anti-Dreyfus. The announcement was
greeted with a deep hum Of approval
and joy.
The Idbre Parole announced that
Dreyfus had been condemned to i'm
prisonment for life. The editions were
absolutely torn from the hands of the
vendors 1t was almost impossible TO
hear opinions friendly to the prisoner
The masses were hostile to Dreyfus
But in private circles the verdict was
condemned in strong terms.
The anti-revisionists continued to is
sue editions suppressing the fact that
Dreyfus was condemned to only ten
years detention.
In the presence of the extraordinary
sentence it is believed the tribunal rec
ognized the prisoners innocence, but
was afraid of the generals and public
opinion, and that as Dreyfus has sur
fered five years cellular imprisonment,
which in France counts for double, he
will be Immediately released.
AS this dispatch is sent the excite
ment was wearing away and the peo-
pie were leaving the boulevards.

The Judgment was read to Dreyfus in

of emotion, did not utter a word and
marched back to prison like an automa-

A large crowd, which the police kept
moving, waited around the square in
which the telegraph office and the prin-
cipal cafes are situated. When the peo-
pie learned the court had been out an
hour ii was argued that this meant dis
agreement in favor of Dreyfus. The first
indicate to these watchers that result
had been reached was when a soldier on
a bicycle came tearing along as fast as
he could from the Iycee toward the artil-
lery barracks.
The soldiers and gendarmes keeping the
streets free sat UP in their saddles and
watched the bicyclist as long as he re-
mained in sight. This orderly was dis

other five or ten minutes elapsed before
the army of reporters and messengers on
foot and on bicycles came in wave up
the street, and the telegraph office was in
