a priest of their goddess Lulala.

through one Of the latter stages,
perhaps because OF the Rezu trou-

But he took no heed of the affront

Then remembered her state
ment that here and nowhere else
she must abide for some secret
reason until certain mystical
gentleman with Greek name came
TO fetch her away at this appointed
rendezvous. Therefore, l supposed
she had, or, rather, suffering as she
did from Authorizations, believed
herself to have no choice and was
Obliged to put up with a crowd OF
disagreeable savages In quarters
which we're sadly out OF repair.
Presently the spokesman re-
turned, saluted with his spear, and
asked:
"If we go up to fight against
Rezu, who will lead US In the
battle, o Hiya?"
"My wisdom shall be your guide"
she answered. This white man
shall be your general, and there
stands the warrior who shall meet
Rezu face to face and bring him to
the dust" and she pointed to
Umslopogaas leaning upon his axe
and watching them with q con-
temptuous smile.
This reply did not seem to please
the man, for he withdrew to consult
again with his companions. After
a debate which I suppose was anil
mated for the Amahagger, men OF
few words who did not indulge In
oratory, all OF them advanced on
us and the spokesman said:
"The choice of general does
not please us, o Hiya. We know
that the white man is brave because
of the fight he made against the
men of Rezu over the mountain
yonder: also that he and his fol.
! lowers have weapons that deal
death from afar. But there Is
prophecy among us of which none
know the beginning, that he who
commands in the last great battle
between Lulala and Rezu must
produce before the eyes OF the
People of Lulala a certain holy
thing, a charm of power, without
which defeat will be the portion OF
Lulala.
"Of this holy thing, this spirit
haunted shape Of power we know
the likeness and the fashion, for
these have come. down among our
priests, though who told it to them
we cannot say, but of 1t l will say
this only, that 1t speaks both Of the
spirit and the body, of man and yet
Of more than man."
"And If this wondrous charm, this
tnlisman of might cannot be shown
the white lord here, what them"
led Ayesha coldly.
Then, o Hiya, this is the word
f the People of Lulala, that we will
not serve under him in the battle,
and this also is their word that we
will not 90 up against Rezu. That
thou art mighty we know well, y
Hiya, also that thou canst STAY II
thou wilt, but we know also that
Rezu is mightier and that against
him thou hast no power. Therefore
kill us II thou dost so desire, until
thy heart Is satisfied with death.
For it is better that we should
perish thus than upon the altar OF
sacrifice wearing the red-hot
Ecrowns Of Rezu."
