CHAPTER VII.

They started out, 4 skeleton caval.
cade. The three wizened ones led the
way and Andrea measured their I'M
portance by the fact that they carried
Msungo's battery Of rifles, respectful
ly surrendered by the gunbearers as a
fitting tribute from onlOokers to men
who were hunters In their own right.
Msungo nodded toward them and
spoke to Andrea over his shoulder.
THE old boys are my brothers in
arms and they carry the guns as a
sort Of insignia. When 1t comes down
to business they'll slip them to the
trained bearers"
Behind Andrea came Marguerite,
his attendant before and Bathtub af-
ter him then followed the gunbearers,
a single tracker and a single water
boy. No hangers-on were allowed
even to see the cortege from the craal.
Over one shoulder Bathtub carried
slung cracker tin, container of all
the food allotted to the day.
In ten minutes march they came to
the river which, in spite of it's prox-
unity to the camp, Andrea now saw
for the first time. Often she had sug-
gested to Msungo that she wished to
visit 1t, but on every occasion his lips
had set In straight line and he had
invented manifold reasons for keep
ing her from it's shores. The most eff
ficacious of these arguments were
snakes and crocodlles, but while she
conceded the strength of those two
deterrents she could not escape from
an intuitive belief that there was
something else-some other and rank
ing cause in the back of M'sungo's
mind

0MENS SAID TO INSURE LUCK
Happenings That Foretcll Coming Good
Fortune Are Worth Keeping
In the Memory.

We must all have noticed how many
unlucky omens there are, and how few
signs that foretell good fortune 1t
has been well explained that we need
to be prepared for bad luck, but that
good fortune does not require to be
guarded against.
All the same, 1t would certainly add
lucky omens were more widely known,
says London Answers. How much
brighter things look to us II we have
reason to hope that something good Is
coming to US
Everybody. Of course. knows that 1t
Is lucky to pick up a bit of iron or
coal. So 1t is to pick up pin II its
head is toward you; If not, let 1t lie!
1t is, Of course, a sign Of good for

and the garment is allowed to remain
reversed during the day. William the
Conqueror put on his mall-shirt back

The white man took the armchair and
Immediately, to the rumble of a dozen
tom-toms, horde Of natives-all men
-swarmed into the beaten court of
the craal.
Those natives who lacked the royal
hallmark were squatting on their
heels in vast mass of serrated and
concentric circles of which the inner
most left an open space whose peri
phery was determined by the exact
circumference of the wide-spreading
branches of the tree. Andrea coughed
softly but M'sungo did not look up--in
fact. nobody looked up. 1t was ex-
actly as though she were not. She
slipped to the trunk Of a tree and
leaned on one hand placed against it.
Somehow it seemed an only friend In
an empty world.
The preliminary palaver was mat

reminded one OF the manner In which
he dispatched game.

Some thrills in the next
instaIIment.
tTO BE CONTINUED.)
Concentration Of Mind.

The brain of the average person Is
too receptive and not positive enough
1t is swayed by every gust OF emotion,
yields too easily to outside conditions.
1t reproduces too easily the idle
thoughts of others, or its own phan-
tastes, and avoids the effort of con-
structive thinking. A complete change
in the mental habits Of such a person
may open the way for unlimited future
development. Mental efficiency can
only be attained when one possesses
the power of concentrating the mind
Weak powers of concentration mean
inefficient thinking and vacillating ac-
ton. Regular daily practice In concen-
tration, keeping the mind conferred
upon some one subject, some difficult
problem, will soon give the MIND the
habit Of constructive thinking. Per-
sist in this practice and ignore all
seeming lack OF progress il you would
obtain the fullest resultx--Na1tilua

times and grunted. With no further
instruction. gunbearers, water boys,
crackers and Marguerite's attendant
scattered to their various prepare
tons, hindered by excited women and
children. The camp hummed. Bathtub
slapped breakfast on the table and
then stood on one foot, then on the
other in impotence. On the faces Of
all was the same half-smile, the same
look Of suppressed but mighty antici-
patton.
M'sungo ate a few mouthfuls but
they seemed to choke him. He pushed
back his plate, stuffed his pipe full
and lit 1t. His eyes played over An
drea's face and fired hers with their
own brilliance When he spoke every
word thrilled her as though this won
derful morning were surcharged with
an emotional current sensitive to
every sound and movement.
andrea Pellor," he said with hap
py twinkle OF mock solemnity In his
glance, you are about to be initiated
into the mysteries Of the major guild
OF many centuries, the closest corpo-
ration Of sport in the world in three
words, the society Of elephant hunters.
You will probably witness death and
hope and pray it will be the death Of
the hunted, but for the comfort of
your soft heart let me tell you that to-
day we 60 forth not to slaughter but
to battle"
He turned his eyes from her face
and continued In a more serious
strain: "The hunting of elephant is a
science. It Is q crescendo Of delicate
ly balanced factors that starts from
two distant points and beginning on a
cool foundation of mutual respect
passes upward through stages of in
tellfgence against intelligence, caution

hot battle and DEATH"
His eyes came back to hers frankly.
Like all the great Sciences" he con-
tinued, ut has used the lives of val
liant men for stepping-stones so that
we who go out today are backed by
the age-long sacrifice Of noble com
pany. Looking back only to the days
of black powder and the four-bore
rifle we are mere pygmies, but pyg-
mics carried high on the crest Of an
ancient tradition. It's because we
have an accumulation of knowledge to
lean upon that I'm willing to take you
with me today II you'll promise to sur
render yourself to me, to do just ex-
actly what / tell you and no more and
no less"
Eyes wide and intent, cheeks flushed
and lips parted, Andrea was too ex-
cited to speak. She threw out both
hands toward him in a gesture of
abandon and with IN imploring gravity
that made her look as though she were
giving herself into his keeping not for
day but for all time.

That's justifiable plumber"
Andrea's cheeks flushed, her eyet
were dreamy with new thoughts and
old emotions.
While the supply Of the vast lardel
and the supervision of the fiber camp
formed the major part Of M'sungo's
untiring industry they were by nc
means the total Of his affairs. Watch
Ing him, Andrea soon learned why he
never lunched. He hadn't the time
too many things pressed to his atten-
ton. He was governor on no mean
scale and during the midday rest hour
he would pass from group to group
settling all those disputes which could
be determined without recourse to
legal argument In this manner he
slfted to minimum the cases to come
before the solemn conclave Of chiefs.
On the first occasion that Andrea
witnessed this tribal ceremony which
occurred monthly at certain stage OF
the moon, she began by feeling huffed
but, lacking an audience for her mood
soon gave it up for one Of scornfuI
amusement which, in turn, surrendered
to an interest that almost amounted to
awe. The day in question began with
the curt information from M'sungo
who appeared carefully groomed and
for the first time in her experience
dressed in punctilious multi, that she
would have. to amuse herself for
twelve hours without his aid. Mystl-
fed, she awaited developments, and
they came-rapidly.

Mining Convention at Spokane Fav-
ors University City.
The United States bureau Of mines
being authorized to establish a large
mining experimental station at either
Moscow. Idaho, or Reno, New, the
Northwest Mining convention at Spo-
kane last week unanimously passed a
resolution favoring its location at
Moscow. There is already a substa-
ton at Moscow and the work in be-
half Of the mining industry it has ac-
complished is the best recommended
ton for charging its facilities 20 in
crease its usefulness. The resolution
follows being introduced by D. c.
Livingston, professor Of geology in
the Idaho school of mines:
"This convention is convinced that
the greater service will be rendered
to the mining industry of the west
by the establishment Of this station
in the Inland Empire, and be it re-
solved that this convention strongly
endorses Moscow, Idaho, as the logl-
cal and most useful location for the
establishment Of such station"

NoRTHPORT SHELTER.
Men Return to Work After a Brief
Shutdown.


The trouble over wages at the
Northport smelter seems TO have
been settled and the plant is again
running. the employees returning to
work at the old rate of pay. They
demanded an increase Of 81 per day,
and it is stated that the demand was
accompanied by a threat to strike
Immediately if it was not granted.
This attitude seems to have stirred
the lighting blood of the manage
ment and the plant was ordered clos
ed down without giving the union
chance to carry out its threat. It
appears that the employees generally
who signed the demand for increase
did not know that it contained the
threat to strike Immediately. and
when this was brought to their at
tention they got together and voted
to go back to work under the old
scale, trusting to the management to
adjust the wage question at some
future time. During the shutdown
most Of the ores from the Day mines
was shipped to the Bunker Hill smell
ter, a situation that is responsible for
the opinion expressed in some quar-
ters that the Days would retire from
the smelling and refining business.

option on the Gold Back. a property
that has attracted much favorable at
tention in recent years and which is
situated just above Murray. at the
mouth of Gold Run creek The ledge
was discovered good many years ago
in the creek bed. where it was about
four feet wide and containing re-
markable showing of ore After
opening the Vein to considerable
extent at the place of discovery.
which proved it to be ledge OF
great strength and promise. tunnel
was started down as low as practical
which cut the vein at depth of
about so feet The ledge az this point
is said to be about 20 feet wide heav-
lily minerlized and with a streak of
ore 70 or IS inches wide The ore is
chiefly lead-silver and is accompanied
by more or less zinc and copper. It is
a remarkably fine showing The pro-

made the discovery and is one of the
chief owners. John r Murphy or
