Andrea swallowed a lump In her
throat. II WON'T will not cry" she
said aloud. II shall never cry again.
I'm really having a g-good time. I've
always been bored and I'm certainly
not bored now, and only a fool would
cry over that" She settled down to
her breakfast in earnest, forgot that
she detested eggs fried, ate every scrap
Of the toast, most Of the marmalade,
and drank three cups of tea. Then
she sat back and let her eyes amuse
her.
The craal's activity had centered
about the newest and smartest of the
huts. Around it MANY men were work

ting an extra door in its side. Pres

seemingly endless procession, bearing
posts, stripped of their bark and cut
to uniform length, and great bundles
Of withes and thatch grass.
She watched them work with won

grew wagner and wagner until she
drowsed and finally dropped sound
asleep in her chair. She awoke two
hours later to find the white man
standing before her, clean shaver,
clear eyed, smelling Of soap and look
ing almost dapper in khaki helmet,
shirt, breeches and puttees.
"Well, Mr.. White Mann" said An
drea.
He smiled a slow smile of relief as
though he had been dreading her first
words. "Will you come now?" he
asked.
She arose, started to follow him and
stopped with gasp. "Why!" she ex-
claimed, her eyes fastened on the hut
that had been the scene Of labor. 1t
was transformed. Before 1t now
stood a-Veranda with q matched roof.
Inclosing the veranda, the hut and a
tiny garden at its back was a mighty
stockade, each post of which was
sharpened to needle point. From
the extra door ran a covered way as
strongly built as the stockade and
which connected the hut with It's
neighbor-that into which the white
man had disappeared.

Andrea followed him, only to stop
again when she reached the veranda.

and made for 1t. The engine back
fired with the ripping report Of gait
ling gun, coughed and stopped. The
man gripped the steering gear tightly
and tipped the machines nose down
for long, reaching volplane. On the
backs Of his hands Andrea saw little
cleaning bulbs of sweat. Swerving
to escape the crest of tree, he made
a reasonably successful landing, in
spite of his agitation. The airplane
took the ground in the wide beaten,
circle of native craal, shot across 1t
and then came to violent stop with
wings buried in the mud-plastered
walls of two separate huts.
The shock cast Andrea forward; In
st1rctively she threw her arms around
the mans neck. She felt the CULVER
ing of his whole body as though it
were shaking with an ague. To her
establishment he became for an in
gtant almost pitable. But only for
an instant; then he nerved himself,
climbed out of the machine and helped
her down. She gave a long sigh of
relief and looked up at him with
half smile on her face. He had taken
off his goggles. His eyes were gray
and large. They stared at without
trouble as of some deep and hidden
struggle.
Andrea gazed at him, her lips parted
in wonder. At last he felt her eyes
upon him and deep flush mounted
from his neck and swept upward,
lighting the tan of his face with q
subdued glow.

Andrea, sid be as red as field of

"-I beg your pardon" stammered
the man and started walking up and
down with quick strides. Andrea
knew instinctively that he was warm
ing up muscles that had been sud-
denly frozen, steadying shaking knees
and shaky heart.
She turned her eyes from him and
gazed around to get her first glimpse
of the real Africa. From the very
start it left her puzzled. She stood
at the far side of a great circular
court, beaten hard and swept clean
as q floor. Within its bounds were
two acacia trees, thickly. fronded,
wide-spreading. Around the court,
thirty high-peaked huts stood like SEN
tinels Behind the huts other but far
smaller structures swarmed-chicken
houses, strongly withed, granaries on
four stills, pigeon cotes, a stockaded
cate craal and a smaller goat fold.
But what puzzled her were the At
ricans themselves. A flying machine
had dropped in their midst and dis
charged two fair if not exceptional
specimens of a white and dominant
race, yet the blacks continued their
various occupations and disoccnpa-
lions apparently unperturbed. What
ever their occupation they made no
sudden move of variation; even their
tongues kept still.

tacacias there was veritable con-

Conversation.

This business of conversation is a
very serious matter. There are men
that it weakens one to talk with an
hour more than a days fasting would
do. Mark this that I am going to say,
for it is as good as working profess
sional mans advice, and costs you
nothing: 1t is better to lose a pint
of blood from your veins than to have
a nerve tapped. Nobody measures
your nervous force as it runs away,
nor bandages your brain and marrow
after the operation.

PALACE A TOWN IN ITSELF
More Than Fourteen Hundred Rooms
in Vienna Home of Ex-Emperor
Of Austria.

There are LAO rooms in the city
palace formerly occupied by the ex-
emperor Of Austria, in Vienna. 1t is
also equipped with 100 kitchens and
the courtyard covers $4,000 meters.
The massive doric columns at the out
side entrance were constructed by
Peter Won Hobile in 1924. Through
these one enters the palace OF
Heroes" outside the castle ward. A
new wing was added here in 1894
The inner walls are of the Renaissance
style, by Ohlmann and Baumann, ana
were completed in 1917. Further on,
toward the eastern side Of the ground,
is the Heldenplata, where stand two
exquisite monuments, the largest in
the capital. The one on the left is
that of Prince Eugene, while that on
the right is of the Archduke Charles,
who defeated Napoleon at Aspern.
A Roman ruin of ancient date is
seen in the castle grounds. 1t is
characteristic Of the Roman con-
ouerors, but is so dilapidated that
but two or three of the portals re-
main, the others being nothing but
crumbled stone. A tall arch is the
best preserved part of the ruin.
Near the Roman ruin is great
obelisk, resembling a needle more than
most monuments. Of the kind. The
top is finished in gilt. The sides bear
hieroglyphics of the history of Austria.
Near it is the glorious Neptune foun-
tain, and from Scheme Drummer (beau-
tiful fountain) the castle grounds de-
rived their name, Schonbrunn.

CHAPTER II-cOntInued.

The engine missed fire-once, twice.
Andrea would scarcely have noticed
the fact had 1t not been for its ex-
traordinary effect on the man. All his
pose dropped from him. He became
galvanized into nervous life and did
several things rapidly with twitching
fingers. The engine missed again, and
he half rose in his seat, craned his
neck, turned his face to one side and
looked down. In the glimpse she
caught she saw that the lines around
his mouth had suddenly deepened in
credibIy. His eyes seemed to fix with
certain relief on spot, clearing.
