barred gates. and finally the VILLAGE was
wrapped in the silence Of slumber, ex-
cept for the wailing OF the native women
FOR their dead.
The next morning they set out upon
the return march. Their original inten-
ton had been TO burn the village. but
this idea was abandoned and the prison.
ers were left behind, weeping and moan
Ing, but with roofs 20 cover them and a
palisade for refuge from the beasts Of
the Jungle.
Slowly the expedition retraced It's steps
OF the preceding day, Ten loaded ham
mocks retarded It's pace, In eight OF
them lay the more seriously wounded,
while two swung beneath the weight Of
the dead.
Clayton and Lieutenant Charpentier
brought up the rear OF the column: the
Engllshman silent in respect for the 9TH
er's Erief, for D'Arnot and Charpentier
had been inseparable friends since boy
hood.
Clayton could not but realize that the
Frenchman felt his grief the more keenly
because D'Arnots sacrifice had been so
futile, since Jane Porter had been rescued
before D'Arnot had fallen into the hands
Of the savages, and again because the
service IN which he had lost his life had
been outside his duty and for strangers
and aliens but when he spoke OF IL to
Lieutenant Charpentier, the latter shook
his head
NO. monsieur" he said. 'D'Arnot
would have chosen to die thus. I only
grleve that could not have died for him,
or at least with him / wish that you
could have known him better, monsieur
He was indeed an officer and a gentleman
"a title conferred on many, but deserved
by 80 few.
HE did not die futilely for his death In
tho cause Of strange American girl will
make us, his comrades, face our ends tho
more bravely however they may come to
us"
Clayton did not reply, but within him
rose a new respect for Frenchmen which
remained undimmed ever after.
1t was quite late when they reached the
cabin by the beach A single shot before
they emerged from the Jungle had an
nounced to those in camp as well as on
the ship that the expedition had been too
lnte-for II had been prearranged that
when they came within a mile or two Of
camp one shot was to be fired to denote
failure, or three for success, while two
would have indicated that they had found
no sign of either D'Arnot or his black
captors.
SO II was a solemn party that awaited
their coming, and few words were spoken
as the dead and wounded mon were ten
derby placed in boats and rowed silently
toward the cruiser
Clayton, exhausted from his five days
of laborious marching through the jungle
and from the effects of his two battles
with the blacks, turned toward the cabin
to seek mouthful of food and then the
comparative ease of his bed of grasses.
after two nights in the jungle.
by the cabin door stood Jane Porter.

command, Immediately sent a portion OF
MS force through the Jungle TO the oppo-
site side OF the village Another detaoh-
ment was dispatched 10 a point before the
village gate, while he remained with the
rest OF the force upon The south side OF
the clearing.
It was arranged that the party which
was TO take position to the north, and
Whlch would be the last to gain its sta
tlon, should commence the assault and
that their opening volley should be the
slgnal for concerted rush from all sides
III an attempt to carry the village by
storm at the first charge.
For half an hour the men with IJou-
tenant CharDentier drouched in the dense
loHese or the jungle waiting the signal
10 them II seemed like hours They could
see natives In the fields and others movA
ing In and out Of the village gate.
AT length the signal came-a sharp rat
tle or musketry. and like one man. nm
answering volley tore from the jungle TO
the west and to the south.
The natives in the field dropped their
implements and broke madly for the
palisade. The French bullets moved
them down, and the French sailors bound
ed over their prostrate bodies straight
for the village gate.
50 sudden and unexpected the assault
had been that the whites reached the
gates before the frightened natives could
par them and In another minute the viii
lage street was filled with armed men
nghtlng hand to hand in an inextricable
tangle.
For a few moments the blacks held
their ground within the entrance 10 tbe
street, but the revolvers, rifles and cut
lasses of the Frenchmen crumpled the
native spearmen and struck down the
black archers with their bolts haif-drawn
soon the battle turned to n wild rout,
and then to grim massacre; for tho
French sailors had seen bits Of D'Arnot's
uniform upon several Of the black war
riors who opposed them.
They spared the children and those of
the women whom they were not forced
to Kill IN self-defense. but when at length
they stopped, painting blood covered and
sweating. 1t was because there lived to
oppose them no single warrior Of all the
savage village OF Mbonga
Carefully they ransacked every hut and
corner Of the village, but no sign of
D'Arnot could they find They aues-
toned the prisoners by signs, and final
ly one of the sailors who had served in
the French Congo found that he could
mako them understand the bastard
tongue that passes for language between
the whites and the moro degraded tribes
of tho coast but even then they could
learn nothing definite regarding the fate
of D'Arnot
Only excited gestures and expressions
of fear could they obtain in response to
their Inquiries concerning their fellow;
and at last they became convinced that
these were but evidences of the guilt of
these demons who had slaughtered and
eaten their comrade two nights before.
At length all hope left them, and they
prepared to camp for the night within
the village The prisoners were herded
into three huts where they were heavily
guarded. Sentr1es were posted at the
