ball of the foot just before each step,
their heels jerked inward sharply for
the thrust back. She leaned forward !;
Marguerite had his eyes wide open.
He seemed to be breathing softly, as
though he, too, were bent on playing
the game.
Quite suddenly they came out of the
forest into broken NANCY space. The
heat and glare was terrific. Here and
there were scraggy groups of thorn,
apparently burnt up by the sun, but in
reality very much alive. To one side,
an enormous acacia cast it's grateful
blot of shade. The tracker. pausing
at last, looked straight up, transfixed

Andrea followed his gaze. At an
incredible height she saw a branch,
freshly broken. Her reason battled
with incredulity; 1t told her that only
one thing could have reached the
branch and snapped 1.-THE up-flung
trunk of the rearing beast they were
following. For the first time in her
life, measuring again that height, she
felt actual awe. M'sungo cast glance
over his shoulder. His face was alight ;
his eyes shone with swimming bril-

artistic effects: he turned from her
with a nod and plunged into the bush
in the wake of the tracker.

CHAPTER vII.-continued.

The river was a treacherous-looking
stream, deep, sluggish, bordered fol
the most part by fiat-topped banks
Where its shores were broken into
shelving slopes these were covered
with towering growth of reeds and
matted elephant grass. There was q
sand-spit here and there and on each
were lying what appeared to be logs
cast up by food.
AS the expedition reached the crest
of the bank, thereby coming into full
view of the river, the logs, one by one
elevated themselves a foot into the
air through all their length and moved
silently, swiftly, horribly into the wa

had seen crocodiles in captivity, but

on distorted legs, to sink silently into
murky depths and Turk.
white Man," she whispered, "are
they as awful as they look?"
"They are" he answered. cit is
pretty generally accepted that more
natives succumb to crocs in Africa an
nually than to any other one cause,
not excepting famine and smallpox. 1t
sounds unbelievable until you know
the native mind. A man will be taken
at a certain crossing and half an hour
later you may see his companions
leisurely wading the stream the same
place. The explanation is that they
consider that the victim lost his life
solely by reason of the cheap brand of
medicine he carried. Each one is
convinced that his own bit of stone,
rag or twisted wood is the real thing
and nothing can dissuade him until the
moment when he too is snatched un-

There are certain crossings swarming
with them where they are known to
be friendly and where no one has ever
been attacked"

natives had baled out wide, clumsy

took form. Once seen, they advanced
in distinction until they stood out to
vision as does the Coal Pit on a starry,
moonless night. They were three
clouds, ominous, dusky, thunderous.
Suddenly from one of them came a
rumble that rolled ponderously away
through the silent world. Andrea,
ignorant of the majesty of the intes-
final connections of the mightiest of
beasts, snatched fieeting impression
that somewhere beyond the brazen
sky, a storm was brewing.
The white man still stood, tense but
immovable. Gradually Andrea's senses
gathered to the fact that this was no
pause. He was waiting-waiting de-
liberately or was it as one who stands
fatally fascinated and paralyzed on
the threshold of disaster? Her heart
was beating with a deafening throb.
She was sure the natives about her
could hear the equal tumult in their
own breasts.
Then her eyes, glued to the three
black clouds, saw one of the lesser Of
them move, raise vast blankets of ears
and flap them, starting an audible gust
OF wind. A great trunk wound and
unwound, rose lazily to incredible
heights, reached a limb and tore it
with a scream of rending fibers from
the parent tree. The beast turned
slightly to avoid the avalanche of
boughs. Instantly the white mans
arms swept into motion. He leveled
the big gun at an upward slant upon
the still immovable central cloud and
fired.
All the silence il the world was rent
asunder by that shot. With a rending
crash as of thousand gatling guns,
one, two, twenty elephants swept
through the sea of saplings and away.
1t was as though an angry god had
snatched up the forest like a sheet and
ripped it apart. In the terrific whirl-
wind of sound gone mad, the second
bark of the rifle was quite lost to the
ear.
M'sungo turned and automatically
seized his. supporting gun. His eyes
swept the back trail, looking for An
drea. She was gone. "Bathtub I" he
roared.
The boy ran to him, his face work

black breast-joy, triumph, greed.

dominant and with reason, for M'sungo
dropped his gun, shot out both hands
to the blacks throat and lifted him

he growled, where's your missis ?
Where is she? The boys eyeballs
protruded farther and farther from
his contorted face.

M'sungo relaxed his grip; Bathtub
dropped to the ground like a nerveless
sack but bounced up again, all his
emotions except fear once more in full
cry across his grinning face.
Andrea laid both hands on Msungo's
arm. ut wasn't his fault" she gasped.
