Poor navael he was learning the lesson thai
fate teaches to most who live long enough,
that the eyes of mankind are blind to the

and fallen finds few friends and little mercy.
Nor, Indeed, in this case did he deserve any,

lilted up his plumed head, and fixed his one
ye, which seemed to flash with suppressed
fury almost as brightly as the great diadem
bound round his forehead, upou his succea
ful rival Ignosi.
"Hail, oh, king!" he said, with blttei
mockery; "thou who hast eaten of mj
bread, and now by the aid of the white man't
.magic hast seduced my regiments and de
feated mine army, hail! what fate hast thou
for me, oh, king?"
"The fate thou pa vest to my father, whose
throne thou hast sat on these many years I':
was the stern answer.
"It is well. I will show thee how to die.
that thou mayest remember it against thine
own time. See, the sun sinks in blood,''
ami he pointed with his red battle-ax toward
the lirey orb now going down; "it is wel:
that my sun should sink with it And now.
oh, king! 1 am ready to die, but I crave the
boon of the Kukuana royal house, to die
fighting. Thou canst not refuse it, or ever
those cowards who tied to-day will hold the
shamed."
"It is granted. Choose with whom wil
thou liirtitV Myself 1 cannot light thee, foi
the kimr lights not except in war."
Twala's souilier eye ran up. and down oui
ranks, and I felt, as for a moment it rested
on myself, that the iiosition had developed s
new horror. What if he chose to begin bj
lighting me? What chance should 1 liavf
against a desperate savage six feet high, anc
broad in proportion? I might as well com
mit suicide at ouee. Hastily I mad'. up mj
mind to decline the combat, even if I were
hooted out of Kukiianaland its a consequence.
It is. 1 think, bettr to In booted than to be
quartered with a battle-ax.
Presently he sioke.
'fncubu, what sayest thou, shall we enc

coward, white even to the liver?"'
"Nay." ititerMsed lgu.si; "thou slialt not
tght with Ineubii."
"Not it he is afraid." said Twain.
Unfortunately Sir Henry understood thi?
remark, and the blow! flamed up into hi
checks.
"1 will ticht him," he said; "he shall set?
ir I am afraid."
"For God's s tke." I entreated, "don't risk
your life ag:iiust that of a desjerate man.
AiijIkhIv who saw you to-day will knowtha
you are not a coward."
"1 will tight him." was the sullen auswer.
"No living man shall call me a coward. 1

and lilted his ax.

in twain."

tiiat ils ciitiTn'. w.is .siioi u ciean off, the
ax falling on his left shoulder, bnt not heavi
ly enough to do any serious damage. In an
other second Sir Henry got in another blow,
which was also received by Twala upon his
shield. Then followed blow upon blow
which were in turn, either received upon the
shield or avoided. The excitement grew in
tense; the reiinent which was watching the
e-ueounter forgot its discipline, and, drawing
near, shouted and groaned at every stroke.
.Just at this time, too, Good, who had been
laid upon the ground by me. recovered from
his faint, and, sitting up, perceived what
was going on. In an instant he was up, and,
catching hold of my arm, hopped about from
place to place on one leg, dragging me after
him, yelling out encouragements t sit
Henry.
"Go it. old fellow!" he halloed. "That
was a good one! Give it him amidships."
and so on.
Presently Sir Henry, having caught a
fresh stroke uH.ft nN shield, hit out with all
his force. The stroke struck through Twa
la's shield and through the tough chain ar
mor behind it, gashing him in the shoulder.
With a yell of pain and fury Twala r
turned the stroke with interest, and, such
was his strength, shore right through the
rhinoceros' horn handle of his antagonist's
battie-ax, strengthened as it was with bands
of steel, wounding Curtis in the face.
A cry of dismay rose from the Buffaloes
as our hero's broad ax-head fell to the
ground; and 1 wala, again raising his wea
pon, llew at him with a shout. 1 shut my
eyes. When I opened them again, it was to
see Sir Henry's shield lying on the ground,
and Sir Henry himself with his great arms
twined round Twala's middle. To and fro
they swung, hugging each other like bears,
straining with all their mighty muscles for
dear life, and dearer honor. With a supreme
effort Twala swung the Englishman clean
off his feet, and down they came together,
rolling over and over on the lime paving.
Twala striking out at CurtiVs head with the
battle-ax, and Sir Henry trying to drive the
tolla he had drawn from his belt through
'J'walaV artpo.
It was a mighty struggle ana an awtui
thing to see.
"Get his ax!" veiled Good; and perhaps
our champion beard him.
At any rate, dropping the tolla. he made
grab at the ax, which was fastened to
Twala's wrist by a strip of buffalo hide, and
still rolling over and over, they fought for it
like wild-cats drawing their breath iu heavy
ga-ps. Suddenly Sir Henry freed himself
the wen -ion remaining in his grasp. Another
h". ond and he was up upon his feet, the red
ti!..o;l stre.inriig from Die wound in his lace,
and so was Twala. Drawing the heavy
t"l!a from his belt, he staggered straight at
Cm tii and struck him iimii the brea.t. The
blow came home true and strong, hut who
ever it was made that chain armor under
dc rstood his art, for it withstood the steel.
Again Twala airuck out with a savage yell,
and again the heavy knife rebounded, and
Sir Henry went staggering btck. Once
more Twala came on. and as he came our
great Englishman gathered himself together,
and, swinging the heavy ax round his head,
hit at him with all his force. There was a
shriek of excitement from a thousand
throats, and, behold ! Twala's head seemed
to spring from his shoulders, and then fell
Twala' a liead seemed to sirring from his
shnuMe.rs.
and came rolling and bounding along the
ground toward Igmrsi, stopping just at his
feet For a second the corpse stood upright,
the blood spouting in fountains from the
severed ateries; then with a dull crash it
fell to the earth, and the gold torque from
the neck went rolling away across the pave
ment. As it did so Sir Henry, overpowered
by faintness and loss of blood, fell heavily
across it.
In a second he was lifted up, and eager
hands were pouring water-on his face. An
other minute, and the great gray eyes open
ed wide.
He was not dead.
Then 1, just as the sun sank, stepping to
where Twala's head lay in the dust, un
loosened the diamond from the dead brow,
and handed it to Ignosi.
"Take it," I said, "lawful King of the
Kukuanas."
Ignosi bound the diadem upon his brow,
and then advancing placed his foot upon the
broad chest of his headless foe and broke
out iuto a chant, or rather a pa?an of victory,
so beautiful, and yet so utterly savage, that
I despair of being able to give an adequate
idea of it I once heard a scholar with a
fine voice read aloud from a Gr.'k poet
called Homer, and I remember that the
sound of the rolling lines seemed to make
my blood stand still. Ignosi's chant, uttered
as it was in a language as beautiful and so
norous as the old Greek, produced exactly
the same effect on me, although I was ex
hausted with toil and various emotions.
"Now," he began, "now is our rebellion
swallowed up in victory, and our evil-doing
justified by strength.
"In the morning the oppressors rose up
and shook themselves; they bound on their
plumes and made them ready for war.
"They rose up and grasped their fpears;
the soldiers called to their captains, 'Come,
lead us' and the captains cried to the king,
'Direct thou the battle."
"They rose up in their pride, twenty thou
sand men, and yet a twenty thousand.
"Their plumes covered the earth as the
plumes of a bird cover her nest; they shook
their spekfa and shouted, yea, they hurled
their spears in the Biinlight; they lusted for
the battle and were glad.
"They came up against me; their strong
ones came running swiftly to crush me;
they cried, 'Ha! ha! he is one already
dead.'
"Then breathed I on them, and my breath
was as the breath of a storm, and lol they
were not
"My lightnings pierced them; I licked up
their strength with the lightning of my
spears; I shook them to the earth with the
tnunder of my shouting.
"They broke they scattered they were
gone as the mists of the morning.
"They are food for the crows and the
foxes, and the place of battle is fat with
their blood.
"Where are the mighty ones who rose up
in the morning? where are the proud ones
who tossed their plume and cried, 'He is as
one already dead?'
"They bow their heads, but not in sleep;
they are stretched out but' not in sleep.
They are forgotten; they .have gone into
the blackness, and shall nflt return; yea.
others shall lead away their vri ves, and their
children shall remember them a more.
"And I I! the king like an i agle have I
found my eyrie.
"Behold! far have I wander d in the
night-time, yet have I returned t ,uy littIe
ones at the day-break.
"Creep ye under the shadow of mf wings,
oh people, and I will comfort ye. and ve

"Now is the good time, the time for sp''l

prosjKTity shall bloom in the land lik a

"Rejoice, rejoice, my people! let all IKe
land rejoice in that the tyranny is troddeft .
down, and that 1 am the king." " 1
He paused, and out of the gathering gloom
there came back the deep reply:
"Thou art the king."
Thus it was that my prophecy to the her
ald came true, and within the forty-eight
hours Twala's headless corpse was stiffening
at Twala's gate.

CHAPTER XV.
;iKI PAI.I.S SICK.
After the fight was ended Sir Henry and
(iood were carried into Twala's hut where
1 joined them. They were both utterly ex
hausted by exertion and loss of blood, and,
indeed, my own condition was little better!
I am very wiry, and can stand more fatigue
than most men, probably on account of my
light weight and long training; but that night
1 was fairly done up, and as is always the case
with me wh' ii exhausted, that old wound
the liou save me tegan to pain w. - Also my
head waa aching violently from th blow I
had received in the morning, when 1 wu
knocked senseless.
Somehow, with the assistance of the beau
tiful Joulata, who, since we had been the
means of saving her life, had constituted
herself our handmaiden, and especially
Good's, we managed to get off the chain
shirt, which had certainly saved the lives Of
two of us that day, when we found that the
flr0h underneath was terribly bruised, for
tKough the steel links had prevented the
weapons from entering, they had not pre
vented them from bruising. Both Sir Hen
ry and Good were a mass of bruises, and I
was by no means free. As a remedy Foula
ta brought us some pounded green leaves,
with an aromatic odor, which, when applied
as a plaster, gave us considerable relief.
But though the bruises were painful, they
did not give us such an anxiety as Sir Hen
ry's and Good's wounds. Good had a hole
right through the fleshy part of his "beauti
ful white leg," from which he had lost a
great deal of blood; and Sir Henry had a
deep cut over the jaw, inflicted by Twala's
battle-ax. Luckily Good was a very decent
surgeon, and as soon as his small box of
medicine was forthcoming, he, having
thoroughly cleansed the wounds, managed
to stitch up first Sir Henry's and then his
own pretty satisfactorily, considering the
imperfect light given by the primitive Kuku
ana lamp in the hut Afterward be plenti
fully smeared the wounds with some anti
septic ointment of which there was a pot ia
the little box, and we covered them with the
remains of a pocket-handkerchief which we
possessed.
Meanwhile Foulata had prepared us some
strong broth, for we were too weary to eat
This we swallowed, and then threw our
selves down on the piles of maeniheent ka
rosses, or fur-rugs, which were scattered
about the dead king's hut By a very strange
instance of the irony of fate, it was on Twa
la's own couch, and wrapped in Twala's
own particular kaross. that Sir Henry, the
man who had slain him, slept that night
About eight o'clock next morning we had
a visit from Infadoos, who seemed but little
the worse tough old warrior that he was
for his exertions on the previous day, though
he informed us he had been up all night.
He was delighted to see us, though much
grieved at Good's condition, and shook
hands cordially; but I noticed that he ad
dressed Sir Henry with a kind of reverence,
as though ho were something more than
man; and. indeed, as we afterward found
out the great Englishman was looked upon
throughout Kukiianaland as a supernatural
being. No man, the soldiers said, could
have fought as hi fought or could, at the
end of a day of such toil and bloodshed,
have slain Twala, who, in addition to being
the king, was supposed to be the strongest
warrior in Kukiianaland, in single combat,
sheering through his bull neck at a stroke.
Indeed, that stroke became proverbial in
Kukiianaland, and any extraordinary blow
or teat of strength was thenceforth known
as "Ineubu's blow."
Infadoos told us also that all Twala's re
giments had submitted to Ignosi, and that
like submissions were beginning to arrive
from chiefs in the countrv. Twala's death
at the hands of Sir Henry had put an end
to all further chance of disturbance; for
Scragga had been his only son, and there
was no rival claimant left alive.
Afterward in the course of the morning,
we had a visit from Ignosi, on whose brows
the royal diadem was now bound. As 1 con
templated hini advancing with kingly digni
ty, an obsequious guard following his steps,
1 could not help recalling to my mind the
tall Zulu who had presented himself to us at
Durban some few m inths back, asking to be
taken into our service, and reflected on the
strange revolutions of the wheel of fortune.
"Hail, O king!" I said, rising.
"Yes, Macumazahn. King at last by the
grace of otir three right hands," was the
ready answer.
All was, he said, going on well; and he
hoped to arrange a great feat in two weeks'
time in order to show himse.f to the people.
I asked him what he had settled to do
with Gagool,
"She is the evil genius of the land," he
answered, "and I shall kill her, and all the
witch doctors with her! She has lived so
long that none can remember when she was
not old, and always she it is who has trained
the witch-hunters, and made the land evil in
the sight of the heavens above."
"Yet she knows much," I replied; "it is
easier to destroy knowledge, Ignosi, than to
gather it"
"It is so," he said, thoughtfully. "She,
and she only kuows the secret of the Three
Witches' yonder, whither the great road
runs, where the kings are buried, and the
silent ones sit."
"Yes, and the diamonds are. Don't forget
your promise, Ignosi; you must lead us to
the mines, even if you have to spare Gagool's
life to show the way."
"I will not forget, Macumazahn, and I
will think on what thou sayest"
After Ignosi's visit I went to see(Qpd,
and found him quite delirious. The fever
from his wound seemed to have taken a firm
hold of his system, and to be complicated by
an internal injury. For four or five days his
condition was most critical; indeed, I flnuly
believe that had it not been for Foulata's in
defatigable nursing he must have died.
Women are women, all the world over,
whatever their color. Yet somehow it
seemed curious to watch this dusky beauty
bending night and day over the fevered
man's couch, and performing all the merci
ful errands of the sick-room as swiftly,
gently, and with as fine an instinct as a
trained hospital nurse. For the first night or
two 1 tried to help her, and so did Sir Henry
as soon as his stiffness allowed him to rve.
but she bore our interference with impa
tience, and finally insisted upon our leaving
him to her, saying that our movements made
him restless, which I think was true. Day
