negro's cheeks. With gulp Sam
pulled himself together. Winton
raised Sheila to her feet, and the
three raced across the road, crossed
the ridge, and saw the desert before
them.
1t was beginning to grow light.
From where they halted to get their
breath they could see the long line Of
blazing stores and hear the distant
shouting. A sudden outburst of rifle
firing from the direction of the town
gave the hope that MalopO had been
warned in time and was putting up
defense.
They hurried on, keeping below the
ridge, going a little distance into the
desert, then turning to strike the bed
of the winding river, now a succession
of pools, with freeway Of stones and
boulders.
Once between the banks they would
be in reasonable security. There were
numerous caves and excavations
there in one Of which temporary
refuge could be found. But as they
halted upon the bank Sam uttered
cry and pointed toward the desert
Three men were riding toward them,
with the evident intention Of inter-
cepting their flight.
They were just visible in the twi-
light, which made their figures, and
those of their horses, at once enor-
nous and shadowy.
Two of them, from their firm, STIR
rupless seat were obviously Hotten-
tots. The third was a white man.
There seemed nothing to fear and
much to hope. The Hottentots were
never on friendly terms with the
savages, and the presence of their
master was still more reassuring.
The three spurred their horses and
came galloping UP abreast. They were
within five and twenty PAGES when
Winton recognized the white man as
De Witt
Before he realized the mans hos
tile intentions De Witt had ridden
straight at him. The Hottentots, with
rearing horses, dashed at Sam. Win
ton saw Sam roll on the ground, and
then he himself was down in tangle
of plunging hoofs.
He had dim knowledge Of firing
his revolver, and then the scene faded
out of his consciousness as quietly as
If it were some moving picture with

Immediately inside the barbed wire
which separated the compound in
which he was from that adjoining.
He recognized it as that of JosephS.
1t was pinned to the earth with two
upright spears. Death must have been
instantaneous.
Winton's jaws clamped with spasm
of fury He sprang to his feet, but,
remembering the urgent need of eau
ton, lay down again beside Sheila,
watching Sam.
He saw the negro worming his way
along the ground upon his stomach.
Suddenly Sam turned toward him with
an imperative gesture to lie still.
Looking up, Winton perceived Kafir
sentry, armed with spear and shield,
on guard at the desert road behind the
devastated and smoldering store that
had belonged once to Kash.
The presence of this man was Omi-
nous. II the outbreak had been con-
fined to the diamond compounds, no
sentry would have been set. The fact
Of his presence betokened a precon-
certed rising, guided by shrewd
minds from outside
1t betokened something more. For
the man who had placed him there
must have had personal interest in
Winton's capture Yet Winton was
no object of hatred on the part Of the
natives-rather he was one OF the
more popular among the claim-holders.
But Winton realized only the first
part of the purpose not it's implica-
tons He watched Sam spring to his
feet and advance boldly toward the
sentry. brandiShing his spear. There
was nothing to show that Sam was

looked just as ferocious as any OF
them. The sentry turned and looked
at Sam in inquiry, then went forward
to meet him.
| Sans muscular arm went back, and
the spear, driven unerringly. by some
atavistic impulse, went home through
the Kafirs' throat.
The sentry dropped without word
or sound, the spearpoint sticking into
the ground behind him, supporting the
falling corpse grotesquely for mo-
ment, till the body, cOllapsing side
wise rolled into the road and lay still.
Sam came back slowly. "Tve killed
him." he began to whimper.
"A good thrust, Sam"
I've killed a human being. God

as if he had an attack of fever.

BAPTISTS ORGANIZE
LAST WEEK AT M'NARY

Rev. and Mrs. T. E. Elgin and Mr.
and Mrs. A. o. LaPrade returned Fri
day from McNary, where they aided
in establishing a Baptist church or
ganization. They Joined DR.. H. @.
Morton there and also a party of sew

CHAPTER XIV
Pursuit in the Desert.

III hItC 0SSSTI
"Mr. Garrett-wake up! For Gods
sake, open your eyes, sir!"
Winton obeyed. The river banks
were swimming around him. He was
lying on the stones in the bed Of the
stream, and Sam was kneeling beside
him.
"Sheila!" Winton muttered.
Hes got her, Mr.. Garrett"
Winton struggled into sitting po-
sition and tried to collect himself.
''Who-when? he mumbled.
"De Witt-half an hour ago. The
horse kicked you on the head and
stunned you. 1 was knocked down,
too. You shot one of the Hottentots,
and they snatched up Miss Sheila and
put her on his horse and rode away
with her.
Winton got on his feet, and, with
Sans aid, staggered up the bank. 1t
was quite light now. From Malopo
came the intermittent outbreaks Of
rifle firing. but there were no negroes
in sight The fields were totally de-
serted, the gutted stores were burn
ing out in smoke. The broad expanse
Of the desert lay before Winton's eyes,
the risen sun dancing on the horizon.
The body of the dead Hottentot lay q
few yards away, but there was no
living thing in sight.

"Yes, sir. There's a horse feeding
down the river"
whats thatY' cried Winton incred-
ulously.
It's one of the MaIopo Deep's
horses, Mr.. Garrett. It's that gray.
He's fast goer. He's saddled, too.
The boys must have tried to capture
him, but he broke his halter and got

leading the horse. Winton knew IL
very well. 1t was not so fast as De
Wits, but it had won prizes at the
local handicaps. 1t was in first-class
condition.
Sam had put one foot into the stir
rup when Winton dragged him down.
LET me go, Mr.. Garrett. Let me
go!" he pleaded. You're not fit, sir"
I'm going, Sam. I'll be back with
Miss Sheila-or I'll not be back. No
use, Sam. Leave it to me. It's my
job, confound your
Sam took his foot out of the stir
rup with a sigh. The tears were
streaming down his black face.
You're right, sir" he said humbly.
I'll"
But neither man could speak, and
WintOn, wringing Sans hand, mount
ed and rode away.
His burning anger gave him strength.
The thought of Sheilas danger, of De
Wits trick at the end, nerved him
to desperation. Within two days the
wheel of his fortunes had made a COM
plete revolution. Only the thought of
Sheila in De Wits power enabled him
to maintain his mental equilibrium.
And for a while, as he rode over the
lonely desert, touched here and there
with the green of the young grass,
he felt like shadow moving in O
phantom world.
He tried to concentrate his attention
on the tracks of the three horses,
which were distinct in the rain-soaked
ground. So long as these were plain
In sight he felt that he was nearing
Sheila every moment, in spite of the
fact that he could see no one He
discovered that what his horse lacked
in speed it made up in staying powers,
and hours passed without any slacken-
ing of the easy triple" pace.
But the morning wore away, and it
became clear to Winton that De Witt
had at least maintained his lead It
was almost midday when he discov-
cred that the tracks had disappeared.
For some time they had been grow
ing less distinct, for the sandy earth
of the desert had yielded to flinty
ground. WintOn went back found
them, and discovered that the horses
had struck off at an angle leading far
away from the headquarters of the
tribe.
