steps. They walked pivoting on the
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 a 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 its grateful
blot of shade. The tracker pausing
at last, looked straight up transfxed
in an eloquent pose.
Andrea followed his gaze. At an
incredible height she saw a branch,
freshly broken. Her reason battled
with incredullty; it told her that only
one thing could have reached the
branch and snapped 1.-THE up-hung
trunk of the rearing beast tney were
following. For the first time in her
life, measuring again that height, she
felt actual awe. Msungo cast a glance
over his shoulder. His face was alight (;
his eyes shone with a swimming bril-
lance.
A few minutes later they came to
the ragged edge of the elephant bush.
The tracker cast left and right with
quick, jerky steps. Here the three
bulls had separated; joyful sign, for it
showed intention to feed. The tracker
came to a halt, dropped the tip of his
assegai shaft TO chosen spoor
Msungo looked back at Andrea impa-
tiently. She threw herself from Mar

her Jersey. unbuttoned her skirt and
let IL fall. She stood in helmet khaki

CHAPTER VII.-continued.

The river was a treacherous-looking
stream, deep, sluggish, bOrdered for
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
sand-spit here and there and on each
were lying what appeared to be logs
cast up by flood.
AS the expedition reached the crest
of the bank, thereby coming into full
view of the river the logs, one by one,
elevated themselves foot into the
air through all their length and moved
silently, swiftly, horribly into the wa
ter. Andrea caught her breath. She
had seen crocodiles in captivity, but
never like this, never free to scurry
on distorted legs, to sink silently into
murky depths and lurk.
white Man." she whispered, "are
they as awful as they lookf"
"They are" he answered. ut 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-
der"
"How glrastly," said Andrea, "and
how pitiful."
"Yes, it is" said M'sungo, and add
ed: sort of knockout to faith, isn't
it? But even crocs have character.
There are certain crossings swarming
with them where they are known to
be friendly and where no one has ever
been attacked"
By the time he finished speaking the
natives had baled out a wide, clumsy
scow and Msungo nodded to Andrea

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-
tinal connections of the mightiest of
beasts, snatched a fleeting 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

liberately or was 1t 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 il
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.snd
fired.
All the silence in the world was rent
asunder by that shot. With a rending
crash as of a thousand gatling guns,
one, two, twenty elephants swept
through the sea of saplings and away
It 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.
Msungo turned and automatically
seized his supporting gun. His eyes
swept the back trail, looking for An
drea. She was gone. 'Bathtub !" he
rOared.
The boy ran TO him, his face work
ing with every emotion known to the
black breast-joy triumph, greed,
cupidity and fear. The last was pre-
dominant and with reason for MsungO
dropped his gun, shot out both hands
to the blacks throat and lifted him
strangling into the air. Damn you"
he growledl where's your missis?
Where is she?" The boys eyeballs
protruded farther and farther from
his contorted face.
"Here l am" painted Andrea.
Msungo relaxed his grip; Bathtub
dropped to the ground like a nerveless
sack but bounced mp 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.

steadily in the air arising from
parched soil.
Not forty PAGES from where Andrea
hugged her protecting trunk and
scarcely twenty in advance Of Msungo,
the domes Of two trees topped the
even mass Of the saplings about them.
Into the shadows beneath these trees
he was peering with an intensity that
communicated itself to Andrea. She
too stared desperately as though by
an effort she might send light into
darkness with her gaze.
Presently she was rewarded; three

TIRES FOR SMALLER CARS

making tires for the smaller cars is
now the biggest part of the rubber tire
industry, says Harry A. Burris of the
local Goodyear Service Station.
According to an official 1919 census
there are now 4, 900. 900 owners of light
cars in the United States and contrary
to general opinion these owners are the
biggest class of tire buyers in the
world.
"Thls type of car predominates in
practically every city, county and state
in the country.

Akron, Ohio, is devoted exclusively to
turning out tires for small cars. In
this building alone 10000 of these tires
are turned out every day. This is the
largest factory of Its kind in the world.
