ashamed of your freckles. this prescription,

homely spots.
Simply get one ounce of othine-double strength
from any first class druggist and apply little of
it at night. and in the morning you will see that
even the worst have begun to disappear. while the
light freckes have vanished entirely. 1t is seldom
that more than an ounce is needed to completely
clear the skin and gain beautiful clear complexion
Be sure to ask for the double strength othine. as
this is sold under guarantee of money back it fails

IN the late afternoon we reached the margin
of the lake. and as we emerged from the
bush and saw the sheet of water stretching
before us our native friends set up shrill
cry of Joy and pointed eagerly in front of
them. 1t was indeed wonderful sight which
lay before us. Sweeping over the CLASSY sur
face was a great fotilla of canoes coming
straight for the shore upon which we stood.
They were some miles out when first we saw
them; but they shot forward with great
swlftness, and were soon SO near that the
rowers could distinguish our persons. In
stantly thunderous shout of delight burst
from them, and we saw them rise from their
seats, waving their paddles and spears madly
in the air. Then, bending to their work once
more, they flew across the intervening water,
beached their boats upon the sloping sand,
and rushed up to us, prostrating themselves
with loud cries of greeting before the young
chief
Finally one of them, an elderly man with
a necklace and bracelet of great, 1ustrous
glass beads, and the skin of some beautiful,
mottled, amber-colored animal slung over
his shoulders, ran forward and embraced
most tenderly the youth we had saved. He
then looked at us and asked some questions,
after which he stepped up with much dignity
and embraced us also each in turn. Then,
at his order, the whole tribe lay down on the
ground before us in homage. Personally
felt shy and uncomfortable at this obsequi-
GUS alteration, and | read the same feeling in
the faces of Roxton and Summerlee; but
Challenger expanded like flower in the sun.
"They may be undeveloped types said
he, stroking his beard and looking round at
them; "but their department in the presence
of their superiors might be a lesson to some of
our more advanced Europeans. Strange how
correct are the instincts of the natural mani"
TT was clear that the natives had come out
upon the warpath; for every man carried
his spear, long bamboo tipped with bone,
his bow and arrows, and some sort of club or
stone battleax slung at his side. Their dark,
angry glances at the woods from which we
had come and the frequent repetition of the
word "Doda" made it clear enough that this
was rescue party which had set forth to
save or revenge the old chiefs son: for such
we gathered that the youth must be.
A council was now held by the whole tribe,
squatting in a circle, while we sat near on
slab of basalt and watched their proceedings.
Two or three warriors spoke, and finally our
young friend made a spirited harangue with
such eloquent features and gestures that we
could understand it all as clearly as if we had
known his language.
"What is the use of returning?" he

but even more because we were losing touch
with Zambo, our link with the outside world.
However, we had fair supply of cartridges
and all our guns; SO for time at least We
could look after ourselves, and we hoped
soon to have chance of returning and re-
storing our communications with our negro.
He had faithfully promised to stay where he
was, and we had not doubt that he would
be as good as his word.
TT was in the early afternoon that we started
upon our journey. The young chief
walked at our head as guide; but refused in
dignantly to carry any burden. Behind him
came the two surviving Indians with our
scanty possessions upon their backs. We
four white men walked in the rear with rifles
loaded and ready. As we started, there
broke from the thick, silent woods behind us
sudden great ululation of the Apemen,
which may have been cheer of triumph at
our departure, or a jeer of contempt at our
fight Looking back, we saw only the dense
screen of trees; but that long drawn yell told
us how many OF our enemies lurked among
them. We saw no sign of pursuit, however,
and soon had got into more open country
and beyond their power.
As l tramped along, the rearmost of the
four, could not help smiling at the appear
ance of my three companions in front. Was
this the luxurious Lord Roxton who had sat
that evening in the Albany amid his Persian
rugs and his pictures in the pink radiance
of the tinted lights? And was this the inn
posing professor who had swelled behind the
great desk in his massive study at Enmore
Park? And finally, could this be the austere
and prim figure which had risen before the
meeting at the Geological Institute? No
three tranps that one could have met in a
Surrey lane could have looked more hopeless
and bedraggled. We had, it is true, been
only week or SO upon the top of the pla-
teau; but all our spare clothing was in our
camp below, and the one week had been a
severe one upon us although least to me
who had not had to endure the handling
of the Apernen. My three friends had all
lost their hats, and had now bound hand
kerchiefs round their heads, their clothes
hung in ribbons about them, and their un-
shaved, grin1y faces were hardly to be recog
nized.
Both Summerlee and Challenger were
Gmping heavily, while l still dragged my
feet from weakness after the shock of the
morning, and my neck was as stiff as board
from the murderous grip that had held it.
We were indeed sorry crew, and | did not
wonder to see our Indian companions glance
back at us occasionally with horror and
amazement on their faces.
