"How was that?"
"My, lord, the kintr, my half-brother, had
a brother horn at the same birth, ami of the
huiim woman. It is notour custom, my lord,
to let twins live, the weakest must always
die. Hut the mother of the king hid away
the weakest child, which was born last, for
ker heart yearned over it, ami the child
is Twala, the king. I am his younger broth
er bbrn of another wife."

"My lord, Kafa. our father, died when we
came to manhood, and my brother Imotu
was made king in his place, and fur a space
reigned and had a son by his favorite wife.
When the babe was three years old. just af
ter the irreat war, during which no man
could sow or reap, a famine came upon the
land, and the people murmured because of
the famine, and looked round like a starved
lion for something to rend. Then it was that
Gagool, the wise woman, who does not die,
proclaimed to the people, saying, 'The King
imotu is no king.' And at tho time linotu
was sick with a wound, and lay in his but
not able to move.
"Then Gagool went into a hut and led out
Twala, my half-brother, and the twin broth
er of the king, whom she had hidden since
tie was born among the caves and rocks, ami
stripping the 'moooha' (waist-cloth) off his
loins, showed the eople of the Kukuanas
the mark of the sacred snake coiled round
bis waist, wherewith the eldest son of the
king is marked at birth, and cried out loud,
'Heboid, your king whom I have saved foi
you even to this day T And the people be
ing mad with hunger, and altogether bereft
of reason and the knowledge of truth, cried
out. The king! The king!' but 1 knew thai
it was not so, for Imotu, my brother, was the
elder of the twins, and was the lawful king.
And just as the tumult was at its height
imotu the king, though he was very sick,
came crawling lrom his hut holding his wife
by the hand, and followed by his little son
Ignosi (the lightning).
'What is the noise? he asked ; 'why cry
ye "The kiug! the king?" '
"Then Twala, his own brother, born of
the same woman and in the same hour, ran
to him, and taking him by the hair stabbed
him through the heart with his knife. And
the people being tickle, and ever ready to
worship the rising sun, clapped their hand:
and cried, Twala is king ! Now we know
that Twala Ls king r"
"And what became of his wife and bei
son Ignosi? Did Twala kill them, too?"
"Nay, my lord. When she saw that her
lord was dead she seized the child with a
cry, and ran away. Two days afterward she
came to a kraal very hungry, and none
would give her milk or food, now that her
lord the king was dead, for all men hate the
unfortunate. But at night-fall a little child,
a girl, crept out and brought her to eat, and
she blessed' the child, and went on toward
the mountains with her bov before the sun
rose again, where she must have perished,
for none have seen her since, nor the child
Ignosi."
'Then if this child Ignosi had lived he
would be the true king of the Kukuana peo
ple?" "That is so, mv lord; the sacred snake is
round his middle. If he lives he is the king;
but alas! he is long dead."
'See, my lord," and he pointed to a vast
collection of huts surrounded with a fence,
which was in its turn surrounded by a great
ditch, that lay on the plain beneath us.
That is the kraal where the wife of Imotu
was last seen with the child Ienosi. It is
there that we shall sleep to-night, if, in
deed," he added, doubtfully, "my lords
sleep at all upon this earth."
"When we are among the Ktikuanafi, my J
friend Infadoo, we do as the Kukiianas j
do," lsaid, majestically; and 1 turned round
suddenly to address Good, who was tramp

All this while we had been pressing on at
a good rate down toward the undulating
plain beneath. The mountains we had
crossed now loomed high above us, and
Siieba's Ilreasts were modestly veiled in
diaphanous wreaths of mint. As we went
on the country grew more and inure lovely.
The vegetation was luxuriant; without be
ing tropical, the sun was bright and warm,
but not bumiiiir. and asrraciuus breeze blew
softly along the odorous slopes of the moun
tains. And. indeed, this new land was little
less than an earthlv Paradise: in hoantv in

Ho soon as we started Infadoos had dis
patched a runner on t. warn the ieople of

military co:;itnaml, of our arrival. This man
had departed at an extraordinary speed.
which iniaiioos bad ununited me lie would
keep up all the way. as running was an ex
ercise liiil -i; :ir;i.-i;c:-d aiiiong his people.
The resmr of this iriesaire now became
apparent. When we got within two miles of
the kraal we could see that company after
company of men was issuing from its gates
and marching toward us.
Sir Ilwnry laid his hand uioii my arm, and
remarked that it looked as though we were
going to meet with a warm reception. Some
thing iu his tone attracted infadoos' atten
tion. "Let not my lords be afraid." he said, has
tily, "for in my breast there dwells no guile.
This regiment is one under my command,
and comes out by my orders to greet you."
I nodded easily, though i was not quite
easy in my mind.
About a half a mile from the gate of the
kraal was a long otretch of rising ground
sloping gently upward from the road, and on
thi the companies formed up. It was $
splendid tight t aee tfaeat, each company
about three hundred strong, charging swiftly
up the slope, with flashing spears and wav
ing plumes, and taking their appointed
place. By the tim we came to the slope
twelve such, companies, or in all three thou
sand six hundred men, had pawed out and
tken iiDibeir tKnitioni alir the road.
I'resently we came to tho first company,
and were able to gaze in astonish men t on the
most magnificent set of men 1 have evei
seen. They were all men of mature age,
mostly veterans of about forty, and nut one
of them was under six feel in heicht, whilst
many were six feet three or four. They wore
upon their heads heavy bla k plumes of Sa
caboola feathers, like those which adorned
our guides. Koinid their waists and also
Ix-ue.tth tin r i l; 1 1 1 knee were bound circlets
of white ov-t.i'is. and in their left hands
were round mi;'Ms about twenty niche!1
;i-.-io.sH. Tiie.se suieMs wen very curious.
Thki lrame ,rli cf.ns.sted of an iron plate
1 t;n out tliin over which was stretched
iniik-whiie ox-hide. The weap ms that
each man bore were simple, but most
effective, consisting of a bhort and very
heavy two-edged spear with a wooden shaft,
the blade being about six inehes across at
the widest part. These Fjiears were not
used for throwing, but like the Zulu "bang
wan." or Rfatibing assegai, were for close
quarters only, when the wound inflicted by
them was terrible. in addition to these
bangwans each man also carried three large
and heavy knives, each knife weighing
about two pounds. One knife was lixed in
the ox-tail girdle, and the other two at the
back of the round shield. These knives,
which are called "tollas" by the Kukuanas,
take the place of the throwing assegai of tho
Zulus. A Kukuana warrior can throw them
with great accuracy at a distance of lifty
yards, and it is their custom on charging to
hurl a volley of them at the enemy as they
come to close quarters.
Kach company stood like a collection of
bronze statues till we were opposite to it,
when at a signal given by its commanding
oflicer who, distinguished by a leopard skin
cloak, stood some paces in front, every spear
was raised into the air, and from three hun
dred throats sprung forth with a sudden roar
the royal salute of "ifoom." Then when we
had passed the company formed up behind
us, and followed us toward the kraal, till at
last the whole regiment of the "Grays" (so
cailed from their white shields), the crack
corps of the Kukuana people, was march
ing behind us with a tread that shook the
ground.
At length, branching off from Solomon's
(ireat ltoad, we came to the wide fosse sur
rounding the kraal, which was at least a
mile round, and fenced with a strong pali
side of piles formed of the trunks of trees.
At the gateway this fosse was spanned by a
primitive drawbridge which was let down
by the guard to allow us to pass in. The kraal
was exceedingly well laid out. Through
the center ran a wide pathway intersected
at right angles by other pathways so ar
ranged as to cut the huts into square blocks,
each block being the quarters of a company.
The huts were dome-shaped and built, like
those of the Zulus, of a framework of wat
tle, beautifully thatched with grass; but, un
like the Zulu huts, they had doorways
through which one could walk. Also they
were much larger, and surrounded with a
veranda about six feet wide, beautifully
paved with powdered lime, trodden hard.
All along each side of the wide pathway
that pierced the kraal, were ranged hundreds
of women brought out by curiosity to look
at us. These women are, for a native race,
exceedingly handsome. . They are tall and
graceful, and their figures are wonderfully
tine. The hair, though short, is rather curly
than woolly, tho features are frequently
aquiline, and the lips are not unpleasantly
thick as is the case in mast African races.
But what struck us most was their exceed
ingly quiet, disni tied air. They were all as
well-bre t in their way as the habituca of
tasiiionaDl? Urawii g-room, and in this re
sct differ fioin Zulu women, and theii
cousins tho M-isii who inhabit the district
bhind Zin.ibir. Their curiosity had
brou rht them out to see us, but they allowed
no rude express! -ns of wonder or savage
criticism to pass their lips as we trudged
wearily in front of them. Not even when
old Infadoos with a surreptitious motion ol
tin hand pointed out tho crowning woudei
of poor Good's "beautiful white legs," did
they allow the feeling of intense admiration
wl:ic!i evidently mastered their minds tc
find expression. They fixed their dark eyes
it ion their snowy loveliness (Good's skin if
exceedingly white), and that was all. Bui
this was quite enough for Good, who is mod
est by nature.
When we got to the center of the kraal,
Infadoos halted at the door of a large hut,
which was surrounded at a distance by a
circle of smaller ones.
enter, sons or tne stars," he said, in a
magniloquent voice, "and deign to rest
awhile in our humble habitations. A little
food shall be brought to you, so that ye shall
have no need to draw your belts tight from
hunter; some honey and some milk, and an
ox or two, and a few sheep; not much, my
lords, but still a little food."
"It is good," said I, "Infadoos, we are
weary with traveling through realms of air:
now let us rest."
Accordingly we entered into the hut,
which we found amply prepared for oui
comfort Couches of tanned skins were
spread for us to rest on, and water was
placed for us to wash in.
I'resently we heard a shouting .outside,
and stepping to the door, saw a line of dam
sels, bearing milk and roasted mealies, and
honey in a pot. Behind these were some
youths driving a fat ox.
We received the gifts, and then one of the
young men took the knife from his girdle
and dexterously cut the ox's throat In ten
minutes it was dead, skinned, and cut ur.
The best of the meat was then cut off for us,
and the rest I, in the name of our party, pre
sented to the warriors round us, who took
it off and distributed the "white men's gift"
Umbopa set to work, with the assistance
of an extremely prepossessing woman, to
boil our portion in a large earthenware pot
over a fire which was buitt outside the hut
and when it was neartv readv we sent a
message to Infadoos. and asked him. and
Scragga the king's sou, to join ns.
I .....
i i trnuy mey came, anci .Haunt? aown up
on tlie little stools, of which there were sev
eral about the hut (for the Kukuunas do not
in general squat upon their launches like
the Zulus), helped us to get tbrorth our din
ner. The old gentleman was most affable
and polite, but it struck us that fhe .young
one regarded us with suspicion. He had, to
gether with the rest of the party, been over
awed by our white appearance and by oui
maeic properjies; but it seemed to me that
on uiscovermg mat we ate, drank and step!
like other mortals, his awe was beginning to
""u ocrepiacea oy sullen suspicion
wuicu uiauo us i eei ratner uncomfortable.
In the course of our meal Sir Henry sug
gested to me that it might be well to try and
discover if our host knew anything of hit
brother's fate, or if they had ever seen or
heard of him; but on the whole. I thonrht
that it would be wiser to say nothing of the
waiter at mat lime.
After supper we filled our pipes and lit
them, a proceeding which filled Infadoos
aud Scragga with astonishment The Kuku
anas were evidently unacquainted with the
divine uses of tobaeco-smoke. The herb was
grown among them extensively; but like the
Zulus, they only used it for snuff, and quite
failed to identify it in its new form.
PrwnUv I KtM InfadtVM whm w were
I
to proceed on our journey, ana was aengntea
to learn that preparations had been made foi
us to leave on the following morning, mes
sengers having already left to inform Twala,
tlie king, of our coming. It appeared that
Twala was at his principal place, known as
Loo, making ready fur the great annual
feast which was held in the first week of
June, At this gathering all the regimeuts,
with the exception of cerbiin detachments
left behind for garrison purposes, were
brought up and paraded before tho king;
and the great annual witch-hunt of which
more by and by, was held.
We were to start at dawn, and Infadoos,
who was to nccump any ns. expected that we
sLould, unless we were detained by accident
or by swollen rivers, reach Lou on the night
of the second day.
When th-;, had given us this information
our visitors bade us too !-nicht; and. having
arranged to watch turn and turn about, three
of us flung t.uiM-!ves down and slept tiie
sweet sleep of the weary, whilst tho fourth
sat up on the lookout for treachery.
fllAITEI! IX.
TWALA TIIE KINO).
It will not be necessary for me to detail at
length the incidents of our journey to lxx.
It took two days' traveling along Solomon's
Great Road, which pursued its even course
right into the heart of Kiikuanaland. Suffice
it to say that as we went the country seemed
to grow richer and richer, and the kraals,
with their wide surrounding belts of cultiva
tion, more and more numerous. They were
all built upon the same principles as the first
ones we had reached, and were guarded by
ample garrisons of troops. Indeed, in Ku
kuanaland, ' as among the Germans, the
Zulus, and the Masai, every able-bodied man
was a soldier, so that the whole force of the
nation is available for its wars, offensive or
defensive. As we traveled along we were
overtaken by thousands of warriors hurrying
up to Loo to be present at the great annual
review and festival, and a grander series of
troops 1 never saw. At sunset on the second
day we stopped to rest awhile upon the sum
mit of some heights over which the road ran.
and there on a beautiful and fertile plain be
fore us was Loo itself. For a native town it
was an enormous place, quite five miles
round 1 should say, with outlying kraals jut
tinir out from it which serve on grand occa
sions as cantonments for the regiments, and
a curious horseshoe-shaped hill, with which
we were destined to become better acquaint
ed, about two miles to the north. It was
beautifully situated, and through the center
of the kraal, dividing it into two portions,
ran a river, which appeared to be bridged at
several places, the same perhaps that we had
seen from the slopes of Sheba's Breasts.
Sixty or seventy miles away three great
snow-capped mountains, placed like the
points of a triangle, started up out of the
level plain. The conformation of these
mountains was unlike that of Sheba's
Breasts, being sheer and precipitous, in
stead of smooth and rounded.
Infadoos saw- us looking at them, and vol
unteered a remark:
'The road ends there," he said, pointing
to the mountains known among the Kukua
nas as the "Three Witches."
"Why does it end?" I asked.
"Who knows?" he answered with a shrug;
"the mountains are full of caves, and there is
a great pit between them.. It is there that
the wise men of old time used to go to get
whatever it was they came to this country
for, and it is there now that our kings are
buried in the Place of Death."
"What was it they came for?" 1 asked,
eagefly.
"Nay, I know not My lords who come
from the stars should know," he answered
with a quick look. Evidently he knew
more than he chose to say.
"Yes," I went on, "you are right; in tlie
stars we know many things. I have heard,
for instance that the wise men of old came
to these mountains to get bright stones,
pretty playthings, and yellow iron." ,.
"My lord is wise," he answered coldly;
"I am but a child and cannot talk with my
lord on such tilings. My lord must speak
with Gagool the old, at the king's place,
who is wise even as my lord," and he turned
away.
As soon as he was gone, I turned to the
others and pointed out the mountains.
"There are Solomon's diamond mines," 1
said.
Umbopa wa3 standing with them, appar
ently plunged in one of the fits of abstrac
tion which were common to him, and caught
my words.
"Yes, Macuniazahn," he put in, in Zulu,
"the diamonds are surely there, and you
shall have them, since you white men are so
fond of toys and money."
"Uow do you know that Umbopa?" I
asked sharply, for I did not like his myster
ious ways.
He laughed: "i dream it in the night,
white men," and then he too turned upon
his heel and went
"Now what," said Sir Henry, "is our
black friend at? lie knows more than he
chooses to say, that is clear. By the way,
Quatermain, has he heard anything of of
my brother?"
"Nothing; he has asked every one he has
got friendly witu, but they all declare no
white man has ever been seen in the country
before."
"Do you suptiose he ever got here at all?"
suggested Good; "we have only reached the
place by a miracle; is It likely he could have
reached it at all without the map?"
"I don't know," said Sir Henry gloomily,
"but somehow I think that I shall find him."
Slowly the sun sank, and then suddenly
darkness rushed down on the land like a
tangible thing. There was no breathing-
space between the day and nigh?, no :t
transformation-scene, for in these latitudes
twilight does not exist The change from
day to night is so quick and as absolute as
tne change from life to death. The sun sank
and the world was wreathed in shadows.
Hut not for long, for see in the east there is
a g.'ow, then a bent edge of silver light and
at last the full bow of the crescent moon
peeps above the plain and shoots its gleam
ing arrows far and wide, filling tlie earth
with a faint refulgence, as the glow of a
good man's deeds shine for a while upon his
little world after his sun has set lighting
the traveler to a fuller dawn.
We 6tood and watched the lovely sight,
whilst the stars grew pale before this
chastened majesty, and felt our hearts lifted
up in the presence of a beauty we could not
realize, much less describe. Mine bad been
a rough life, my reader, but there are a few
things 1 am thankfol to have lived for, and
one of them is to have seen that moon rise
over Kukuanaland. Presently our medita
tions -were broken in upon by our polite
friend Infadoos.
"If my lords are ready we will journey on:
to Loo; where a but is made ready for my
lords to-night The moon is now bright so
that we shall not fall on the way."
We assented, and in an hour's time were
at Um outskirts of the town, f waiefc U
extent, mapped out as it was by thousands
of camp-fires,- appeared absolutely endless.

bad joke, christened it. "Unlimited Loo;"
