Iii-iv vr noticed t!i:it Hie .sides of tliC tun nel were covered with fii;tint sculptures mostly of untiled retires driving in cliariot.i. On, which was exceedingly beautiful, re presented a whole battle scene with a con voy of captives being inarched oil in the dis tance. "Well," said Sir Henry, after inspecting this ancient work ot art, "it is very well to call this Solomon's Koad, but my humble opinion is that the Egyptians have been here before Solomon's people ever set a foot on it. If that isn't Egyptian handiwork, all 1 have to say Is it is very like it." By midday we had advanced sufficiently far down the mountain to reach the region where wood was to be met with. First we came to scattered bushes which grew more and more frequent, till at last we found the toad winding through a vast grove of silver trees similar to those which are to be seen on the slo;s of Table Mountain at Cajie Town. 1 had never before met with them in all my wanderings, except at the Cape, anil their appearance here astonished me greatly. "Ah!" said (Jood, surveying these shining leaved trees with evident enthusiasm, "liere is lots of wood, let ns stop and cook some dinner; I have- about digested that raw meat." Noltody objected to this, so leaving the road we made our way to a stream which was bab'-iiug away not lar oil, and soon had a goodly tire of dry houghs blazing. Cutting o!T some substantial hunks from the llesh of the inco which we had brought with us, we proceeded to toast them on the end of sharp sticks.- as one sees the Kafirs do, and ate them with re'ish. After tilling ourselves, we lit our pipes and gave ourselves up to enjoyment, which, compared to the hard ships we had recently undergone, seemed almost heavenly. The brook, of winch tiie banks were clothed with dense masses of a gigantic spe cies of maiden-hair fern interspersed with feathery tints of wild asparagus, babbled away merrily at our side, the soft air mur mured through tht leaves of the silver trees doves cooed around, and brighfwinged birds flashed like living gems from bough to bough, ll was like 1'jradise. The magic of the place, combined with the overwhelming sense of dangers left behind, and of the promised land reached at last, seemed to charm us into silence. Sir Henry and Uuihopa sat conversing iu a mixture of broken English and Kitchin Zulu in a low voice, but earnestly enough, and I lay, with my eyes half shut, uim.ii that fragrant bed of tern and watched them. Presently I missed Hood, and looked to see what had become of him. As 1 ilid so 1 oterved him sitting by the bank of the stream, in which he had leen bathing. He had nothing on but his flannel shirt, and his natural habits of ex treme neatness having reasserted themselves, was actively employed in making a most elaborate toilet, lie had washed his gutta percha collar, thoroughly shaken out his trousers, coat and waist-coat, and was now folding them up neatiy till he was ready to put them on, shaking his head sadly as he did so over the numerous rents and tears in them, which had naturally resulted from out frightful journey. Then he took his boots, scrubbed them with a handful of ferns, and finally ruhhed t!ie:n over with a piece of fat, which he hart carefully saved from the inco meat, till they iooke I. comparatively shak ing. rfpectabte. !l:;ving insprc-ted them judiciously through his e.veglass, he put them on and Ik; trail a Irjsli operation. I'Voni a Lilie hag he carried he produced a Micket-couu in w hicii was fixed a liny look-ing-g!iiss. an-l in this lie Mi'-V'-yed himself. Appar.-uii' h was not saii-ued, tor he pro ceeded to do his hair w::!i gr"at cnr. Then Ciune a p uise n hii.-t h. aain coiiteinniateri the eilVct: still it was nut satisia-.-toiy. lie ' felt his chin, on which was now the accumu lated scrub of a ten days' lieard. "Surely.' thought I. "he is -not going to try anc .shave." But so it was. Taking the piece o' fat with which he hud greased his boots, he washed it carefully in the stream. Then diving again 'into the bag he brought out a little pocket nmr with a sru.ird to it, such as are sold to people afraid of cutting them selves, or to those about to tin le.rtake a sea voyage. Then he - vig rusly scrubbed his taee and chin with the f it and began. Bui it was evidently a painful process for he groaned very nncli over it. and I was con vulsed with inward lang uor as I watched him struggling witli that stubby lieard. 11 seemed so very odd that a man should takt the trouble to shave himself with a piece ol fat iu such a place and under such circum stances. At last he stieceeded ill getting the worst of the scrub oif the right side of hi; face and chin, when suddenly 1. who was watching, became aware of a flash of light that passed Just by his head. ; iooit sprang up with' a- profane "explana tion (if it had not been a safety razor he would certainly have cut his throat) and sc did I. without the exclamation, and this was what I saw. Standing there, not more than twenty paces from where I was, and ten from (iood, were a group of men. They were very tall and copper-colored, and some of them wore great plumes of black feathers and short cloaks of leopard skins; thru was all I noticed at the moment In front oi. them stood a youth ot about seventeen, hi baud still raised and his body bent for-' ward in the attitude of a Grecian statue of x . spear-thrower. . Evidently the fla.sh of light bad been a weapon, anil he had thrown it As 1 looked an old sjldier-lik.; looking man step'ied forward out of the group, and e-itching t::. .o::::i by the arm said some- thing l hint. - Tlnti 1m? adraneed upon ns. Sir Henry. Good, and Umbopa had by 'fhi-time seized their rifles and lifted ' tiiejii threateningly.

"Whence come ya?"' he went on. "what a'e you? and why are the faces of three of u. and th te of te fourth a the lace or our inotners sons; ami no poinieu to UiiiUipa. 1 iix.ked at Umbopa as he said it. and It flashed across me that he was right Umljop.t was like the faces of the men he lore me, so was his great form. But 1 had ii.it time to reflect on this coincidence. Ve are strangers and co;no hi pence," I answered, sjxaking very slow, so that he might understand me, "and this man is our servant." "Y. lie," he answered; "no stringers can cross the moiint iins where all tdinrs die. Ihit what do your lies irjatter'. if ye are vtr.ingers tiien ye ninst il.e, fur no strangers may live in the land of the Kuktianas. it is the king's law. l'ivj;ir;; then to die, oh strangers !" I was slightly staggered at this, more es leei;illy as 1 saw the hands of some of the pariv of men steal down to their sides, where hung on each what looked to uie like a large and heavy knife. "What does that beggar say?" asked Good. "He. savs we are going to be scragged," 1 answered grimly. "Oli. Ijord," groaned Good; and, as it was his way when perplexed, put his hands to his false teeth, dragging the top set down and allowing them tolly back to his jaw with a snap. It was a most fortunate move, for next second the dignilied crowd of Ku ktianas gave a simultaneous yell of horror, and boiled back some yards. "What's up?" said 1. "It's his teeth," whisered Sir Henry, ex cited.'. "Ho moved them. Take tnem out, Good, take them out!" He obeyed, slipping the set into the sleeve of his tl.mnel shirt. In another s-cond curiosity hud overcome fear, and the uieii advanced slowly. Appar ently they had now forgotten their amiable intentions of doing for us. "How is it, oh strangers," asked the old man solemnly, "that the teeth of the man" (pointing to Good, who had nothing on but a flannel shirt, and had only lulf finished his shaving) "whose hotly is clothed, and whose legs are bare, who grows hair on one side of his sickly face and not on the other, a.id who has one shining anil transparent eye, and teeth that move of themselves, com ing away from the jaws and returning of their own will?" "Open your mouth," I said to Good, who promptly curled up his lips ami grinned at the old gentleman like an angry dog, reveal ing to their astonished gaze two thin lines ol gum as utterly innocent of ivories as a new born elephant His audience gasped. "Where are his teeth?" they shouted; "with our eves we saw thein." Turning his head slowly and with a gest ure of ineffable contempt, Good swept his hand across his mouth. Then he grinned again, and lo ! there were two cows of love ly teeth. The young man who had flung the knife throw himself down on the grass and gave vent to a prolonged howl of terror; and as for the old gentleman his knees kntK-ked to gether with fear. , "I see that 3-e are spirits," he said, falter- ingly; "did ever man born of woman have hair on one side of his face and not on the other, or a round and transparent eye, or teeth which moved or melted away and grew again? Pardon us, oh, iuy lords." litre was luck, indeed, and, needless to say. 1 jumped at the chance. "It is granted," I siiI, with an imperial sniiie. "Nay, ye shall know the truth. We coiik' from another world, though we are men such as e; we coine," I went on, "from the biggest star that shines at night." "On! oh!" gro'aiied the chorus of as tonished aborigines "Yes." 1 went on, ''we do, indewl ;" and 1 again smiled bcnignlv as 1 uttered that T-uazing lie. "W'e come to stay with you a .:;.Je while, and bless you b our sojourn. Ye will see, oh. friends, that I have prepared in. self by learning our language." "It is so. it is so," said the chorus "Only, my iord," put in the old gentleman, "thou hast learned it very badly." I cat an indignant glance at him and he ;uailed. ".Now, friends." I continued, "ye might liiiiik that aiu-r so long a journey we should find it iu our hearts to avenge such a recep tion, nii.vhup to strike eold in death the ini- oioiis hand tiiat that, lit short threw a knife at the head of him whose teeih come and go." ' .Spare him. my lords" "aid the old man in snpplieation; "he is the king's son. and I am his uncle. If anything befalls him his blood will tx; required at my hands." "Yes. that is certainlv so," put in the young man with great emphasis. "You may perhaps doubt our power to avenge." I went on. heedless of this by play. ' Slay, I will show you. Here, you dog and s.ave" (addressing Umbopa in a saviige tone), "give me the magic tube that speaks;" and I tipped a wink toward my ex press rille. Umbo pa rose to the occasion, and with something as nearly resembling a grin as 1 hail ever seen on his dignified face, handed uie the rille. "It is here, oh, lord of lords," he said, with a deep obeisance. Now, just before I asked for the rifle 1 had perceived a little klipspiinger antelope standing on a mass of rock about seventy yards away, and determined to risk a shot at it "Ye see that buck," 1 said, pointing the animal out to the party before me. "Tell me. ts it possible for a man, born of woman, to kill it from here with a noise?" "It is not possible, uiy lord," answered the old man. "Yet shall I kill it" said I, quietly. The old man smiled. "That uiy lord can not do," he said. ' 1 raised the rifle, and covered the buck. It was a small animal, and one which one might -well be excused for missing, but I knew that it would nut do to nii.ss. 1 dr,ew a deep breath, and slowly pressed on the trigger. The buck stood still as stone. "Bang! Mud?" Tin: buck sprang into the air and fell on the rock dead as adoor-uail. A groan of terror burst from the group be fore ns. "1 ye want meat" I ' remarked, coolly, "go fetch that buck." The old man made a sign, and one of his followers depurt.-d. ami presently returned -bearing th;? klippringer. I noticed, with satisfaction, that I had hit It fairly behind the shoclder. They gathered round the pool creature' body, gazing at Uie bullet-hole ir constemation. ,c:Ye see,",I said tl do not speak empty words.f 'i . ;J There wis no answer. - ,..-! -.- T rit ye' yet dor btoiy. power I. went on',' "let one .of, ye go stand upon that rock thai 1 may make him as this buck." --- -None of them seemed at .all inclined tc take the hint, till at .last the king's sor. spoke.

The old gentleman dial uot tik;rtu sug" gestion in good part. Indeed, he seemed hurt r, . ;No! no !w he ejaculated, hastily, "my old Iffycs have seen enough." These ire- wizards, indeed. 1-ct us bring them to the king. Yet if anr should wish a further roof let nim bmiiu upun ui9 nc, Midi buo magic miwo may speak with him." There was a most general and hasty ex pression of dissent "Let not gtiod magic be wasted on our poor bodies" aid one, "we are satislied. All the witchcraft of our people cannot show the like of this" "It is so," remarked the old gentleman, in a tone of intense relief; "without any doubt it is so. Listen, children of the stars, child ren of the shining eye and the movable teeth, who ro.ir out in thunder am) slay from alar. I am In fat loos, son of Kafa, one.; king of the Kukuana people. This youth is Scragga." "He nearly sciaggcd me," murmured Good. "Scragga. son of Twala. the great king Twnla. husband of a thousand wives, chief ami lord paramount of the Ktikuanas, keeper of the great road, terror of his great enemies, student of the black arts leader ot an hun dred thousand warriors, Twala the One-eyed, the Black, the Terrible." "So," said I, superciliously, "lead us then to Twala. We do not talk with low people and underlings." "It is well, my lords we will lead you, tut the wav is long. We are hunting three (lays' journey from the place of the king. But let uiy lords have patience, and we will lead them." "It is well," I said, carelessly, "all time is before us, for we do not die. We are ready, lead on. But lufadoos and thou Scragga, beware! Play us no tricks, make for us no snares, for before your brains of mud have thought of them we shall know them and avenge them. The light frojn the transpar ent eye of him with the bare legs and the half-haired face" (Good) "shall destroy you, and go through your land; his vanish ing teeth shall tix themselves fast iu you and eat you up, you and your wives and children; the magic tubes shall talk with you loudly aud make you as sieves. Beware !" This magnificent address did not fail of its effect; indeed, it was hardly needed, so deeply were our friends already impressed with our powers. The old man made a deep obeisance, and murmured the word, "Koom, Koom," which 1 afterward discovered was their royal salute, corresponding to the Bayete of the Zulus, ami turning addressed his followers. These at once proceeded to lay hold of all our goods and chattels, in order to bear them for us excepting oniy the guns, which they would on no account touch. They even seized Good's clothes, which were, as the reader may remember, neatly folded up be side him. He at once nvide a dive for them, and a loud altercation ensued. "Let not my lord of the transparent eye and the melting teeth touch them," said tiie old man. "Surely his slaves shall carry the things." "But 1 want to put 'em on !" roared Good, in nervous English. Umbopa translated. "Nay, my lord," put in Lifadoos, "would my lord cover up his beauTmil white logs" (although he was so dark Good hud a singu larly white skin) "from the eyes of his serv ants? Have we offended my lord that he should do such a thing?" Here i nearly exploded with laughing; and meanwhile, one of the men started on with the garments. "Damn it!" roared Good, "that black vil liaii has got my trousers." "Look here, Good," said Sir H"nry, "you have apjiearcd in this country in a certain character, and you must live up to it. It will r.tver do for you to put oa trousers again. Henceforth you must live in a flan nel shirt, a pair of boots and an eyeglass." "Yes," I said, "and with whiskers ou oue 'Would my lord c vcr up his beautiful w7i He ?f (?" side of your lace aud not on the other. H you change any of these things they will think we are impostors. I am very sorry for you, but seriously, you must do it If once they begin to suspect us our lives will not be worth a brass farthing." "Do you really think so?" said Good gloomily. I do indeed. Your 'beautiful white legs' and your eyeglasses are now the feature of our party, aud as Sir Henry stys, you must live up to them. Be thankful that you have got your boots on, and that the air is warm." Good sighed, and said no more, but it took him a fortnight to get accustomed to his at tire. CHAPTER VIII. WE F.XTEIl Kl'Kl'AN AI.AST. All that afternoon we traveled on along the magnificent roadway, which headed steadily in a north-westerly direction. In f adoos and Scragga walked w ith us, but their fellows marched about one hundred paces ahead. "lnfadoos I said at length, "who made this road?" "It was made, my lord, of old time, none know how or when, not even the wise wo man G igool. who iias lived for generations. We are not old enough to remember its making. None can make such roads now, but the king lets no grass grow upon it" "And whose are the writings on the walls of the caves through which we have passed on the road?". 1 asked, referring to the Egyptian-like sculptures we had seeu. "My IoriL, the hands that made the road wrote the wonderful writings. We know not who wrote them." "When did the Kukuana race come into this country?" , VMy lord, the race came, down here; like the breath of a storm ten thousand thousand moons ago, from the great lands which lie there beyond," and he pointed to the north. "They could travel no further, so say the old voices of our fathers that have come down to us the children, and so says Gagool, the smeller out of witches, because of the great mountains which ring in. the land,'! arid he "pointed to the snow-clad peaks "The country, too, was good, so they settled here Land gtewtrong and powerful, and now our ijumoer? 4aj,o uie bea-saiut, anu wnen ralhfilrn?3tonp-his..regiuiente their 'plumes Oprer the plain as far as the eye of 'ajin'feaa'WMleJil''' ,,",,"Ana If the land, is walled in with moun tains' who Is there, for the regiments to fight with?"
