Msungo ate a few mouthfuIs but
they seemed 10 choke him. He pushed

He turned his eyes from her face

occurred monthly nj a certain stage Of
the moon, she began by feeling bured
but, lacking an audience for her mood
soon gave it up for one of SCornfuI
amusement which. i'm turn. surrendered
10 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. MySti-
fed, she awaited developments, and
they came-rapidly.
Under the great acacia was placed
a table and behind it a camp armchair.
To the right and left of this throne of
justice stood in a crescent fourteen
other seats of varying dignity-chairs,
petroleum cases, kerosene tins and an
inverted bucket-fOr every native
king, be he monarch of but one viii
lage, has the right to sit in the pres
ence Of authority, whatever its grade.
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 a 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 Msungo did not look up-in
fact. nobody looked up. 1t was ex-
actly as though she were not. She
slipped to the trunk of tree and
leaned on one hand placed against it.
Somehow it seemed an only friend in
an empty world.
The preliminary palaver was a mat
ter of much leisurely ceremony, gut
tural announcements, grunts, pauses,
more mOnOlogues. repeated grunts |;
but, once it was over, M'sungo settled
back with a sigh and started dispens-
ing justice with GREATNESS rush that
reminded one of the manner in which
he dispatched game.
1t seemed to Andrea that he never
waited to hear more than the state
ment of the Offense when he would i'm
mediately pronounce sentence. Tween

Twelve lashes: next" at the rate of
about a case for every two minutes.
Nine times out of ten the victim would

whereupon the white man would
promptly call a halt and demand more
evidence. Such cases were then al
lotted half an hour and even an hour
each, and without exception resulted
in the acquittal of the prisoner at the
bar.
Andrea was suddenly aware Of
M'sungo's voice Individually addressed
to her though he kept his eyes to the
front and spoke in a tOneless mono
logue as if he were communing with
himself. Behold Psychology on the

They started out, skeleton caval-
cade. The three wiZened ones led the
way and Andrea measured their inn
portance by the fact that they carried
Msungo's battery of rifles, respectful
ly surrendered by the gunhearers 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 it 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 We're allowed
even to see the cortege from the craal.
Over one shoulder Bathtub carried
slung a cracker tin, container of all
the food allotted TO the day.
In ten minutes march they came to
the river which, in spite of its prox-
unity TO the camp, Andrea now saw
for the first time. Often she had sug-
gested to Msungo that she wished 10
visit it, but on every occasion his lips
had set in straight line and lie had
invented manifold reasons for 5eeD-
ing her from its shores. The most ef-
ficacious OF these arguments were
snakes AID crocodiles, bu; while she
conceded the strength of those two
deterreuts she could not escape from
an inhIitiye belief that there was
something else-sonle other AID rank

lquires, why not tell us what you
have in mind so that we can make a
comparison between the league that
you denounce and the league that you
favor?"
The honest course would be to de-
clare against a league of nations,
with no suggestion of a concealed
plan, or to denounce the league as
presented by the president, and Of
fer substitute embodying the views
Of the republican party. If no effort

the only means of settling interna-
tional disputes, we must appropriate
the money necessary for prepared
ness, we must enlarge our shipyards
on both the eastern and the western
coasts, we must encourage powder
plants in Delaware and elsewhere.
we must cultivate the martial spirit
and enter into rivalry with other
countries, we must count upon the
possibility Of war with everybody
and, in order to make the people
willing to pay the taxes necessary
for such war preparations, we must
cultivate suspicion and construe as
unfriendly all that other nations do
in getting ready to meet our pre-
paredness. Our nation must adjust
itself to one theory or the other, and
this convention can not avoid the
responsibility of deciding for which
theory the republican party will
stand--the old theory of wars en-
gendered by clashing interests and
fastened by the infuxing of preju-
dices, or peaceful methods that will
bring about friendship and co-opera-
ton.

plan that looks toward the peaceful
settlement of disputes it can not

visions in the treaty, viz: investiga-

and three months for acceptance or
rejection of the report; provision for
gradual disarmament, and the aboli-
ton Vt secret treaties. If the repub-
licans indorse the league with the
Lodge reservations republican speak
ers and editors can claim credit for
helping to establish the most august
tribunal ever created in the world.
They can point out the possibility of
a rapid decrease in teh cost of armies

ial relief from taxation and they can
picture the coming Of the day wheI

|ceptional to the point of being al
most revolutionary. A reputation
