crease in the number of prisoners received

any decided decrease in crime generally

All the rest of that night we jour
neyed, till even the dog was tired. Then
we hid in mealie field for day, as we
were afraid OF being seen. Toward the
afternoon we heard voices, and looking
through the stems of the healies we saw
party of my fathers men pass search
ing for us. They went on to neigh
boring kraal to ask if we had been seen,
and after that we saw them no more for
awhile. At night we Travelled again,
but, as fate would have it, we were met
by an old woman, who looked oddly at
us but said nothing. After that we
pushed on day and night, for we knew
that the old woman would tell the pur-
suers if she met them; and 50 indeed it
turned out.
But now was doubtful whether we
would go to Chaka, for after what we
had seen grew afraid lest he should

if You have to catch the theft 'sGo on,
then. said the first man to the dog, and
he ran forward, barking. Then saw
him; it was my own dog, Koos, very
good dog. Presently, as lay not know
ing what to do, he smelled my smell,
stopped barking, and running around
the bush he found me and began to lick
my face. BE quiet, Koos," 1 whis-
pered to him. and he lay down by my
side.
where has that dog gone nowY said
the first man. SIS he bewitched, that
he suddenly stops barking and does not
come back?"
"We will see" said the other, rising,
spear in his hand.
Now was once more terribly afraid,
for l thought that they would catch me
or must run for my life again. But as
sprang up to run big black snake
glided between the men and went off
toward the huts. They jumped aside in
great fright, then all turned to follow
the snake, saying that this was what
the dog was barking at.
When they had gone crept off the
other way, and Koos followed me- At
first thought that would kill him,
lest he should betray me; but when
called him to me to knock him on the
head | could not do it. So thought
would take my chance, and we went on
together. This was my purpose: First
| to creep into my own hut and get my
assegais and skin blanket, then to gain
speech with Baleka. | came to the reed
fence that surrounded the huts No
body was to be seen at the gate, which
was not shut with thorns as usual. That
was my duty, and had not been there
to do it. &c. bidding the dog lie down
outside, stepped through boldly, came
to the door of my hut and listened. 1t
was empty; there was not even breath
to be heard So crept in and began to
search for my assegais, my water gourd
and my wood pillow.
Now the kraal of the chief, my father,
| Makedama, was two hundred PAGES
away, and there must go, for there
Baleka slept. Also dared not enter by
the gate, because man was always on
guard there. So ! cut my way through
the reed fence with my assegai and
| crept to the hut where Baleka was with
some of her half sisters. knew on what
side of the hut it was her custom to lie
and where her head would be. So lay
! down on my side and gently, very gen
tly, began to bore a hole in the grass
covering of the hut. Almost | gave it
over, thinking that ! would fly alone,
when suddenly heard girl wake and
begin to cry on the other side of the
thatch. "Ah," thought, '.that is Bale
ka, who weeps for her brotherv So |
put my lips where the thatch was thin
I nest and whispered:
"Baleka, my sisterl Baleka, do not
weep! l, Mopo, am here. Say not a
word, but rise. Come out of the hut
bringing your skin blanket"
Baleka understood, and after awhile
crept from the hut.
] "Why are you hereY' she whispered
as we met. Surely you will be killed.
"Hushl" said. "Will you come with
me, or will you creep back into the hui
and bid me FAREWELL
4 She thought awhile, then she said
NO, my brother, will come, though
/ believe that this will be the end of it
that You will lead me to my death"
| So we slipped away together, followed
by the dog Koos, and soon were running
toward the country of the Zulu tribe.
