And then, hand in hand. they ran to
the wagon.

Doctor Wayne, as Edith was helped
into the wagon. And the doctor turned

He passed up to Mrs. Wayne in the

boughs from rubber tree. Then he
called to Hart:
"All right. Pull out!"
The wagon rolled out of the village,

Edith shouted last shrill farewell to

But there came no answer-no

aid of the white medicine man, and TO

AS he ran, however, Bantu confront
ed new danger. He stopped not q
minute too soon to escape observation
by two black men who were coming
toward him. One of these men, 1udg.
ing by the gossip which Bantu had
heard in the kraal. the boy knew must
be none other than Amazu, the chief
who would not permit Edith's father to
come among his men and teach them
not to steal and murder. The second
black man, Judging by his hideous
painted face and the teeth of many
animals which he wore around his
neck, was Amazu's witch doctor.
Looking for a hiding place, Bantu
beheld, as II divinely placed, a slit In
hollow tree. He ran to it. The slit
was wide enough for the boy to sliE
through to the inside of the tree.
No sooner was Eantu safely en-.

than the two blacks reached the tree.

Bantu heard the deep bass voice Of the
powerfully built chief, Amazu, say
ing
"The white witch doctor carries a
cross and gun. Tho cross can do
no harm. But the gun is lightning!"
"And the white witch doctor is a
sure shot," Bantu heard the black
witch doctor say. $50 when the white

Amazu end his witch doctor now
strobe silently away. Bantu under
stood that Amazu was going straight
to the wagon carrying his beloved
playmate and that the chief meant to
trick Edith's father into leaving his
family to be massacred by the war
riors. So Bantu knew there was no
time now to run to his own village and
get the help of his fathers warriors.
He, Bantu himself, must be little
warrior. He must speed over the
short cut through the jungle till he hit
the wagon trail in the valley. Would
he reach the whites before Amazu?
That was what troubled little black
Bantu now as he raced through the
forest.

CHAPTER VI.
"oh, the Pity of III"

Through the Jungle and down into
the valley Bantu ran. At last, painting
from race lasting an hour or more,
he sighted the wagon standing in O
clearing little way off the trail There
was smoke from a fire. They were
cooking the MONDAY meal.
Edith was the first to see the black
boy. and she shouted with delight:
"Bantu"
The boys eyes searched the camp
anxiously. missy Edith" he cried,
where is your father?"
why Bantu, what are you doing
here?" Mrs. Wayne asked, as she
Joined the children.
Where is your father, Missy Edith?"
Bantu insisted.
"Gone!" Edith answered. But he
will come right back"
"Gone!" gasped Bantu. Then he
went away with Chief Amazu?"
"Yes, Bantu. Look!" Edith proudly
held up necklace OF shells for Bantu
to inspect. He recognized the shells
as cowry. They had monetary value,
and were used, in some respects, as
currency in the jungle.
"Amazu, when he was here a few
minutes ago, gave me this necklace"
Edith now explained. And, Bantu.
I'm now going to give 1t to you. You
will wear it, and every day while am
gone it will remind you of me-"
"Bantu!" Mrs. Wayne now said,
"why do you look SO frightened? Tell
me, is anything wrong? Amazu came
here a little while ago and told us
that member of his band was down
with the sleeping sickness-perhaps
dying. He asked my husband to get
his medicines and go with him to treat
the poor sick man"
I'm too late" Bantu said, looking
In alarm toward the forest.
What do you mean, Bantu?" Mrs.
Wayne asked, in growing uneasiness.
"Amazu's men are going to attack
you" Bantu said "AnaZu knows the
white medicine man is a fine shot and
took him away so he couldn't shoot so
many Kafrs when they come to fight
you"
Mrs. Wayne called to Uncle Steve
and Hart, who were busy at the camp
fire. Come here, quick! Listen to
Bantu!"
Uncle Steve and Hart ran up. Bantu
told them of seeing the long line of
warriors and what he had heard Anna
zu and the medicine man say at the
hollow tree.
by heavens!" exclaimed Uncle
Steve. Amazus story of a sick man
was only ruse to lure Robert away
from this camp. They've got him
alone now-at their mercy"
''Listen!" cried Bantu, looking to-
ward the Jungle. He was quicker than
the white men to catch an unusual
sound. They are coming!" Bantu
warned, in an awed voice.
In confirmation of the warning
shot pierced the stiffness and one of
the horses fell dead in its tracks. More
shots followed. The remaining three
horses bolted and disappeared in the
Jungle.
Quick! We must defend ourselves!"
shouted Uncle Steve. He hustled Mrs.
Wayne and Edith and Bantu into the
wagon. Then he and Hart piled rolls
of tent canvas one upon the other on
top of provision boxes. thus forming
barricade. Behind this improvised for.

with guns ready.

CHAPTER v.
A Deep, Dark Plot.

Bantu had stolen out of the village
and into the jungle while his father
was addressing the warriors. Bantu
feared to let the warriors see his
tears. So he had crept away to weep
unobserved. In a paroxysm Of grief
he threw himself on the ground in the
forest glade, and he wept bitter tears
over the going away Of the little white
girl with whom he had played day
after day for three long years.
But now, suddenly springing up,
Bantu wiped away his tears and made
a great resolve. He would follow the
wagon of the white medicine man and
have just one more playtime with
Edith.
So Bantu sped on down the trail, fol-
lowing the wagon tracks till he felt
as If his woolly hair was straighten-
ing on his head and standing on end.
Fear paralyzed him. His legs felt
wobbly. Yonder, through the forest
depths, he beheld q long, thin line of
Zulu-Kafir warriors, moving across the
trail in sinister silence. And Bantu
knew by their dress that these men
were on the war path.
Worse than that, he perceived that
the line moved not toward the kraal of
Wambo, his father, but over the short
cut through the forest to meet the
wagon trail where it passed through a
little valley amid the outlying hills.
Yes, these warriors were advancing to
intercept the wagon carrying Bantu's
beloved playmate.

back toward his own village. He
