The Fabulous Valley

tight because we're falling desperately
in love-"
"Oh, don't let's think of such
things. now. Patricia. Even if l don't
find Uncle Johns Valley. and l have
hunch l will. you and are going t.
be married" Michael reached across
the table and clasped her hand.
Meanwhile Wisdom, sitting at a
table in the Carlton with two COM
panions, was saying:
We've got to take them along in
the party, because that clever old
devil made me hand over the necklace
Of monkeys skulls and the knob
kerrie - and he's sticking to both like
glue. But if the old boy doesn't come
back, who's ever to know about it?
There's leopards, fever, thirst, hun
dred reasons why he might peter out
as for the girl - III tackle her."
Five hours later Michael sat
perched on Georges bed. Surely it
is the sensible thing to do" he
pleaded
well, if you're so set on it" George
replied reluctantly. But after the
way the old hypocrite lied to us about
not coming I'm not keen to join up
with him."
But look at the advantages!'
Michael stood up, drawing his dressing
gown tighter around him. I'VE still
have to find this ch-doctor, and
two clues will be more useful than one;
besides the larger the party the less
risk there will be when we have to
cross that desert"
George sat UP in bed: Maybe
you're right" he said. what do you
think, Ernest?"
so far as I'm concerned Michael
can have shot at fixing it," Ernest
replied.
This grudging assent from the two
brothers was quite sufficient for
Michael so, having dressed, he went
downstairs and was fortunate enough
to find his uncle in the dining room
alone at breakfast.
He was secretly dismayed at
Henry's cold. unsmiling grey eyes and
tight-lipped mouth, but the thought
of Patricia. with only her elderly step
father to protect her from Wisdom,
made Michael determined to bring
about an alliance between the two
parties.
His uncle listened with non-com-
initial expression. When. after twenty
minutes, Michael asked him frankly
how he viewed the suggestion. Henry
replied:
II refused to accompany your half
brother in the first place for number
of reasons. Frankly, hoped to get
out here well ahead of you, and gather
all the necessary information before
you arrived"
Since We have met up with you.
why don't you come in with us?"
Michael urged. I'VE stand far better
chance of pulling this thing of if we
all go together"
"Yes. there is something in that"
Henry agreed slowly, but must talk
it over with Wisdom before giving you
any answer"
"Splendidr said Michael smiling.
Shall We meet later in the morning?"
IF Wisdom agrees, we could all
meet for a discussion this afternoon,
about 2:3O." Henry pushed back his
chair and stood up, thinking, as he
did so, that he must consult Wisdom at
once as to how they could best get out
of this new situation.
At two O'Clock that afternoon boy
brought a note to Michael's room.
Eagerly Michael tore it open: then,
with a sinking heart. he read:

That's very interesting, Mrs.

you tell us if you have ever seen this
thing before?"
"Yes. remember now" she nodded
as she drew her fingers over the coarse
hair of the leopard-skin. John had

were also necklace of monkeys
skulls and knobkerrie, if my memory
serves me. Perhaps those things be-
longed to one of the native boys who
had made the journey with him."
That's it - that's it." urged
Michael. Can you possibly remember
his ever mentioning any names?"
She thought for moment and then
said slowly: There was one name that
he often mentioned in his delirium and
that was Kieviet. And there was an
other - let me think now y yes,
N'hluzili - Quick. N'hluzili, quick,

shouting, as he tossed about in the
bed"
Michael wrote the two names on a
piece of paper while George refolded
the leOpardskin kaross. But although
they spent another hour talking with
Mrs. Orkney. they obtained no fur
ther information from her.
That afternoon the Benefits and
Michael went on to Pretoria to see the
Van Niekerks. Cornelius Van Niekerk
received them courteOusly, studying
each in turn with keen interest which
he masked by an air of surprise when
they stated the reason of their visit.
They showed him the leopard-skin
but he shook his head and assured
them that he had never seen that par
ticular skin before, so far as he knew.
They questioned him at some length
as to whether he could remember any
thing which their uncle might have
said about two natives called kieviet
and N'hluzili.
Cornelius made a careful mental
note of the two names and regretted
that in this, too, he was unable to help
them. To their further inquiries he let
it slip out, casually, that his father had
told him that John Thomas Long had
started on his journey from a place
called Zwartveldt, about one hundred
and sixty miles northwest of the
town OF Upington
The delighted Benefits THANK :
Van Niekerk for his kindness and left,
hoping to be back in johannesburg
for dinner.
No sooner had they gone than
Sandy, with Sarie beside him, came
hurrying in to Cornelius from the
room beyond.
''How did it go?' they asked in one
breath.

two teams meet that won't be whipped.
That's the situation as to the game be-
tween the Middies and Tigers tomor-

It Is also thought here that the
teams are among the best in the land,
and that the game likely will be de-
cided by the breaks. Both teams are
smarting under defeats in which they
thought the result might have been
the other way and as Tom Hamilton,
Navy head coach, said: 1T will be a

A N INCIDENT Of interest connected
= with the coming match is the
presence Of Bill Ingram and Tom
Mountain, slashing backfield players
Of the Navy and Princeton, respective
ly, and teammates when at Lawrence

The situation Of the two backs al
their respective schools is strikingly
similar. Both are in their first year as
regularly used backs and both have
attracted much attention by the dash
ing games which they have played.
No injuries have taken place this
week, and the Navy team will be ir
