CHAPTER VIII.

The Caves of the Hundred Lions.
Dr. Robert Wayne had followed
Amazu trustingly from the wagon
camp. He carried his medicine chest
as well as his gun. On the trail they
had ambushed him-striking him down
with an assegai-without warning and
before he could use his gun. And
Amazu had left him lying on the trail,
supposedly dead.
But the missionary-doctor though
wounded on the head and seemingly
lifeless, was only unconscious. When
the blood stopped flowing and had
CONCEALED, he recovered consciousness
and at once started for the wagon
camp.
Doctor Wayne poked in the smolder-
ing ruins with a stick-and found
some homes and the necklace of onvrv
shells. He remembered that Chief
Amazu had given this necklace to
Edith Wayne. And now here were
the cowry shells all blackened by fire.
And here were bones. Bones Of whom?
Her body had been burned with the
wagon. And doubtless her mother,
too, was here also incinerated.
God have mercy upon our souls and
incline our hearts to keep thy laws!"
Doctor Wayne intoned in a strange
voice.
These were the last rational words
he was to utter for many day. For
calamity had shattered his mind. All
in an hour his beloved ones had been
taken from him, as he supposed, vio-
lently, horribly, forever. He broke into
demoniacal laughter. And from far
in the forest came the sound of an
other laugh just as horrible-the
laughter of hyena who, perhaps, sup
posed it was responding to the cry of
one of it's own kind.
Doctor Wayne reeled away from the
wagon, staggered across the clearing
and into the jungle. He Numbered on,
not toward the kraal Of Wambo, but
farther and farther into the darksOme,

Mollie, you must be brave! Come,
Edith! We will return to Wambo's
village. And soon we will start again
for our home in California"
And when you start again. said
Wambo, you will accept the escort of
my warriors"
Yes replied Uncle Steve, firmly.
"A hundred warriors shall escort us
And we will thank you a hundred
times, Wambo, for the protection OF
your men"
All this time, however, Doctor Wayne
was alive. He was at that very mo-
ment examining the ruins of the
burned wagon, and finding the cowry-
shell necklace which he himself had
placed around the neck Of his little
daughter.

painless habitat of wild beasts-past
lair of lion and leopard and cheetah-
on and on ever in a direction that led
him farther and farther away from
Wambo's kraal-onward deeper and
deeper into the depths of the African
jungle.
And as the sun went down, DR.. Rob
ert Wayne, bereft Of reason, arrived at
the entrance to a hollow mountain,
place called by the Kafirs the Caves of
the Hundred Lions. AS Doctor Wayne
stumbled into the great cave he found
water pouring from the rock wall and
forming pool-a natural sunken bath,
as it were-in the rock basin in the
floor of this granite mansion of ma
lures own architecture and fashion
ing. Doctor Wayne drank of the wa
ter.
A lion passed him, on it's way to it's
lair somewhere in the rock chambers
of the cave. Wayne viewed the lion
curiously, without fear. Two more
lions passed. Wayne stared at them
hlankly, without reason.
Half a dozen leopards appeared
Doctor Wayne seized one of these leop-
ards and played with it, as child
with a kitten.
And presently night fell athwart
the entrance to the cave. 1t was now
dark where Doctor Wayne lay just
within his rock house. And from sheer
physical exhaustion he fell asleep.
The six leopards lay around and
near him, with II eyes blazing like
powerful lamps piercing the darkness
watchers over the silent, helpless
form of the American missionary

CHAPTER X.
In Tune With the Wild.

Just within the entrance to the
Caves of the Hundred Lions, where
water from out the rock wall trickled
down and formed a natural sunken
bath, man of massive frame, with a
tawny beard and hair like name, clad
only in a lions skin, was eating his
breakfast-wild honey, wild cherries
and other jungle fruit.
His features were those of a white
man, but the color of his skin was as
dark as that of some of the Kaflrs who
saw him frequently in the jungle and
who always left him unmolested. For
the black men held in awe this wild
looking man with the hypnotic eyes
who consorted with wild beasts as
with human companions.
The bronzed hue of his skin was the
result of Is years of exposure to the
rays of the sun that pierced the jun
gle fastness. For 10 years he had in
habited the Caves of the Hundred
Lions, with all kinds of wild beasts for
his friends.
If there was that in his manner and
looks that suggested madness, it sure
ly was madness most mild. For with
benign mien he talked to his four-foot-
ed companions as one who loved all
living things.
His companions now, as he ate his
breakfast, were four leopards, two
monkeys and two parrots. To these
he talked as to human table compan-
ions.
Matthew" he said, addressing one
of the leopards, thou dost lie there
for all the world like a sick child.
Here, Matthew, is weed like unto cat
nip-a morsel of medicinal herb
which l brought thee from the brook
that is half a days walk from this
spot Eat of it, Matthew. 1t will cure
thee, thou poor, sick cat"
DR.. Robert Wayne thrust the weed
into the leopard's mouth.
Yes, this was Dr. Robert Wayne
though he knew not his name nor any
thing about himself prior to the day
when he had awakened from long
sleep to find himself in this very cave.
Having administered to Matthew,
Doctor Wayne now turned his atten-
ton to the other leopards.

CHAPTER XII.

| The Apparition in the Wilderness.
Doctor Wayne now sauntered out OF
the Caves of the Hundred Lions. Out
side, just by the entrance, stood huge
elephant
"Toddles, faithful Toddlesl" cried
the man in tune with the wild. Ever
art thou on guard, as if thou didst in
| deed love me. Thou seemest to know
that the black men of the forest fear
thee and thy kind, and will not ap-
| proach SO long as thou standest senti-
mel at my mansion door. Good old
Toddles!"
Then came two towering creatures
with heads far skyward, that lowered
their heads to be caressed by their
human friend in the lions skin TWO
CRATES!
On through the jungle, then, the
wild man" strolled-for wild man"
the natives called him. He marched
without weapon and without fear. Yet
he knew that in many thicket as he
passed, and in the branches of many
tree, lurked four-footed beasts Of
prey-lion, leopard, watching
him with cleaning eyes and perhaps
covetous teeth and yearning claws
Yet not one of these beasts so much
as growled at the passerby.
But now as Wayne approached g.
great thicket of thorn bushes he heard
low growl. The bushes had been
trampled down by the passing, evil
IDENTIFY, of herd of elephants. Thorns
dotted the trampled place like SO many
little outstanding bayohets or spikes,
each particular thorn being as sharp
as needle, as hard as steel and sew
eral inches long.
The growl that came from beyond
this trampled thorn thicket was not
however, a growl of animal anger. 1t
was rather a groan of pain.
Through the thicket the wild man
tore his way, at the risk Of stepping
on one of the outstanding thorns. He.
emerged into a small clearing and
espied a lion limping in distress from
wound in one forefoot.
why, tbs my kingly friend, Solo
mon!" calculated Wayne. stop, Solo
monl Wait, will lend thee!"
The lion stopped and waited for the
man to approach.
Down, Solomon, down." Wayne
commanded. q will examine thy
wound and alleviate thy pain
The lion crouched. Wayne kneIt be-
side it and lifted the wounded paw for
inspection. The very touch Of the
mans hand, gentle though it wass
seemed to give the lion extreme pain
1t moaned and withdrew the paw
Again the man lifted the beasts fore
foot. And again the beast pulled away
the paw, shis time with growl.
''Ah, Solomon" the wild man said.
so thou dost scoId! Thou art a
coward. Where is thy kingly pride"
He now looked the lion pointblank in
the eyes and again lifted the wounded
paw.
"A thorn!' he muttered. "A thorn
probably many inches in length
sharp as the point of Kafr assegai-
hard as a spearhead. And imbedded in
thy claw, Solomon, up to the hilt. No
wonder thou art suffering! My poor
Solomon Wait! With the extrac-
ton of this thorn thy pain will vanish
So-so!"
He got hold of the thorn with his
fingers, and he pulled. But he found
the thorn so deeply impaled in the
flesh of the paw that not even his
strong fingers could drew it cut.

The girl with the golden hair was

fuIfilment of her beauty and woman

as one dead.
On their way home they had stopped

the missionary. They had then con-
tinued their journey-escorted by

with part of the money received from
England. Mrs. Wayne's brother I'm

could be seen even now in the back

his duties as gardener.
AS Edith plucked the roses she
heard a woman's voice calling:
Good morning, Edith"
A middle-aged woman came across
the lawn. She owned the bungalow
next door and since childhood had
been an intimate friend of Mrs. Wayne
Good morning, Mrs. Norris" Edith
said
Edith said Mrs. Morris, do you
