slopogaas, my brotherT
"Surely it shall be so, my sister,"
answered Umslopogaas, "and yet the
way is long and many dangers lie in the
path of a maid journeying alone, with
out food or shelter" and as he spoke he
thought of zinita, his wife, for he
guessed that she would love NADIA little,
although she was but his sister.
Still, it must be Travelled and the
dangers must be braved," she answered,
smiling. .'Alas! there is no other plan"
Then Umslopogaas summoned Galazi
the Wolf and told to him all this story,
for Galazi he could trust alone. The
Wolf listen@l in silence, marveling the
while at the beauty of NADIA, as the star
! light showed it. When all was told he
said only that he no longer wondered
that the people OF the Halalazi had de-
fed Dingaan and brought death upon
themselves because of this maid.
Then they rose and went to search
among the dead for girl who shonld
suit their purpose. Soon they found one
"a maid tall and fair-and Galazi bore
her in his arms to the great cave Here
in the cave We're none but the dead, and
tossed here and there in their last sleep
they looked fearsome in the glare of the
torches.
''They sleep sound said the Lily,
gazing on them. ssSweet is rest"
eve shall soon win it, maiden" an
swered Galazi, and again NADIA trem-
bled.
| Then, having arrayed her in the dress
of warrior and put spear and a shield
1 by her, they laid down the slain girl in
a dark place in the cave, and finding a
dead warrior of the People of the AK
! placed him beside her. Now they left
1 the cave, and making pretense that they
! visited the sentries, Umslopogaas and
/ Galazi passed from place to place and
| the Lily walked after them like guard,
hiding her face with shield and hold
ing spear in her hand, and having
with her bag of corn and dried flesh.
4 So they passed on to the entry in the
| mountain side. The stones that had
blocked it had been pulled down so as to
suffer those of the Halakazi to fly who
had been spared at the entreaty of
/ NADIA. But there was a guard by the
entry to watch that none came back.
Umslopogaas challenged them and they
saluted him, but he saw that they were
worn out with battle. and journeying
4 and knew little of what they saw or
through the opening on to the plain be-
yond.
Here the Slaughterer and the Lily
babe each other farewell, while Galazi
\ watched, and presently the Wolf saw
! Umslopogaas return as one who is heavy
! at heart and caught sight of the Lily
running across the plain lightly as a
/ swallow.
Umslopogaas walked slowly through
the archway in the mountain side.
GLOW is this, chiefT' said he who was

"Fool!'' answered Umslopogaas. Are
you drunk with Halakazi beer or blind
with sleep? Twov7ent out and two re-
turn. Isent him who was with us back

CHAPTER XIV.
UMsLoPoGAAs AT DINGAAN's KRAAl

UMSLOPOGAAS AT DINGAAN'S KRAAL.
On the morrow the impi awoke re-
freshed with sleep, and Umslopogaas
thanked them well, saying that the VIC
tory was great and the cattle they had
won were countless Yet something was
lacking-she was lacking whom he came
to seek to be a gift to Dingaan, the king.
and for whose sake this war was made.
Where now was the Lily? Yesterday
she had been here, clad in mocha like
a man anc bearing a shield-this he
was she now?
Then all the soldiers said that they
knew nothing Of her. When they had
done Galazi spoke word, as had been
agreed. He said that as they stormed
the cave he had seen man run at a
warrior in the cave to slay him. Then
as he came he who was about to be
slain threw down the shield and cried
for mercy, and Galazi knew that this
was no warrior OF the Halakazi, but
girl very fair to see. So he called to the
man to let her alone and not to touch
her, for this was the order-that no
women should be slain. But the soldier.
being mad with the lust of fight, shouted
that, maid or man, she should die, and
slew her. Thereon he, Galazi, in his
wrath ran up and smote the man with
the Watcher, and slew him also, and he
prayed that he had done no wrong.
"You have done we'll, my brother .
said Umslopogaas. Come now, some
of you, and let us look upon this dead
girl. Perchance it is indeed the Lily,
and if SO it is i'll for us, for know not
what tale we shall tell to Dingaan of
the matter.
So the captains went with Umslopo-
gaas and Galazi and came to the spot
where the girl had been laid, and by her
the man of the People Of the AK.
"All is as the Wolf, my brother, has
told" said Umslopogaas, waving the
torch in his hand over the twain who
lay dead. s'Here without doubt lies
she who was named the Lily, whom we
came to win, and by her that fool who
slew her, slain himself by the blow of
the Watcher. An i'll sight to see and an
i'll tale for me to tell at the place of
Dingaan. Still, what is, is, and cannot
be altered, and this maid, who was the
| fairest Of the fair, is now none too love-
lysto look on. Let us away" and he
turned swiftly, then spoke again, saying;
Is sBind up this girl in OK hides, cover
her with salt and let her be brought
with u.s." And they did so.
Then tho captains said, Surely It is

There can be q no more hopeless task
than an effort to Set an editorial degen-
crate right. The hopelessness lies in the
degenerate's inability to recognize his own
d. seneracy. He plays the part of a
ghoul and when demonstrated with de-
clares that such is the proper function
of newspaper. He Is more TO be pitied
than blamed. His mind, his whole ma

Senator Jones. Of Arkansas. has some
peculiar views ON the duty Of the United
States toward Cuba. He would have the
American troops Withdrawn from the Is
land and the Cubans left to settle their
own affairs, even 'if 50 per cent OF the
Cubans are In favor of annexation and
should express II by their vote" This is
anti-expansion with a vengeance. Should

Senator Jones would no doubt continue to
argue that the United States had done its
whole duty toward the unhappy island.

There Is q very good prospect OF Ad-
miral schiey losing the popularity
which has kept him not far from being
on level with Dewey. He may not be
to blame himself. but his injudicIous
friends are doing II for him.
He may find a warning of what is like
~ to happen In the dispatches sent out
all over the country from Washington
on Thursday. They announce his in
tended departure to take command Of
the South Atlantic station. 1t Is stated
that Admiral SchIey has received orders
from the secretary OF the navy to pro-
coed to his post, but that he is not to
proceed 20 South African waters with
out specific instructions from the de-
partment. 1t is explained that the state
department does not desire to have any
American men of-war In South African
waters at present. believing that the
circumstance might be detrimental to
American interests. and the navy de-
partment. therefore. viii not allow any
vessels To proceed there, unless the sit
uatIon should change materially.
The dispatch then goes on 10 say
that the instructions TO Rear Admiral
Schley "are very disappointing to his
friends" This Is manifestation Of
impertinence. which. IL traced back to
Schiey, should receive "A summary re-
buke, Why should 1t be disappoint-
ment to his friends. What business Is
Ii OF theirss Schley Is ordered off on
duty By his government. Ii is his duty
to obey. and to obey without complaint
IL his friends are disappointed" 1t is
Il he may through the newspapers
make IL known TO his superiors that he
is disgruntied. why may not the next in
command. and the next. until every
seaman has his friends disappointed"
unless there il selected for him that
ship and that duty which he particular
~ desires?
Admiral Schley had a very weli-or-
ganized admiration bureau in Wash
ington before the war. but what started
his popularity was the mistake Samp-
son made in the famous dispatch an
nouncing the destruction OF the Spanish
fleet under Cervera. Had the superior
officer only possessed the simple com
mon sense Of Dewey and inodestiy
claimed for his suborainates Il measure
of credit "a Dewey did. popular SYM
pathy would not have been aroused on
his behalf SIMPSONS mistake gave
Schiey's friends an opportunity Of
which they were quick 10 take advan-
tage Sampson was no doubt exasper-
atel az Sohley's conduct. which was
very much In keeping with the spirit
that made 1t possible for a newspaper
correspondent; TO learn that SChley's
friends were very much disappointed

knew nay motive Mt the time.
al cannot understand the rea-
son Of Blethen's present 0uthurst,
hut am not surprised. They are

mOalty to me dates back to
the time that I bought his inter-
est In the Tribune, and has com
tinued with CONAN ndable con-
