steps to the jackal hole at the termination of
the tunnel (lor that is wtiat it mut have
been). And see, there on the. mountains,
the dawn we had never thought to look U
vii attain was blusning rosy red.
Presently the uray litfht stole down the
iIom:s aiil we saw that we were at the lio:
tom, or, rather nearly at the nottom, of tue
vast pit in trout ot tue entrance, to the cave.
Now we could make out the dim forms of
the three coicssi who sat upon its veire.
Doubtless those awful passages along winch
we had wandered the livelong night had
originally 1 en. in some way, connrcted 1
with the diamond mine. As for the subter

Ueaven only knows what it was, or whence

the figures rose, taw us, and fell on to the
Kroumt. crying out for fear.
"Infadoos. Infadoos! it is us, thy friends."
He rose; he run to us, staring wildly, and
still shaking with fear.
Oil. my lords, my lords, it is indeed you

And the old warrior flung himself down

iouna us once more in our out quarters at
JL.00; and, strange to say, but little the
worse for our terrible exerience, except
that my stubby hair came out of that cave
about three shades grayer than it went in.
ana tnai liooa never was quite the same
after Foulata's death, which seemed to move
iinu very greatly. 1 am bound to say that,
looking at the thing from the point of view
of an oldish man of the world. I consider
her removal was a fortunate occurrence.
since, otherwise, complications would have
been sure to ensue. 1'he ioor creature was
o ordinary native girl, but a person of
preat. 1 had almost said stately, beautv, and
of considerable refinement of mind, iiut 110
amount ot beauty or relinemeut could have
made an entang.eineiu between Good and
herself a desirao e occurrence; for, as she
herselt put it. ' Can the sun mate with the
darkness, or the wmte with the black?"
1 neea hardi s:-ite that we never again
penetrated into .Solomon s treasure-chamber.
Alter we had recovered from our fatigues, a
process which took us iorty-eight hours, we
uesceiided into the groat pit in the hope of
finding the hole by which we had crept out
ot the mountain, out with uo success. To
bcrin v:th, ram had fallen, and obliterated
our spoor; and what is more, the sides of the
vast pit were luu of ant-bear and other
ho:e.s. It was in? possible to say to which of
tiR-se we owed our salvation. We also, on
the day before we st.11 u d back to Loo, made
a lurtuer examination 01 the wonders of the
stalactite cave. and. drawn by a kind of rest-
jess leeiing. even penetrated oace more into
the Clnimiier ot the Dead; and, passing be
ne.it.i tin spear of the white Death, gazed.

ior examine as we would, we could find no

utterly lost, thai worked it. though we tried

1:1 :is massive and yet inscrutable simplicity.
01 the aire winch produced it; nnd 1 doubt if

could have cried at the idea of leaving all
inat treasure, the bmgest treasure probably
tuat has ever in the world's history been ac
cumulated in one spot. Hut there was no
help tor it. Oaly dynamite could force its

we fen it. remaps in some remote unborn
century, a more tortunate explorer may hit

Somehow, 1 seem to feel tuat the millions of
pouuua worm 01 gems that lie in Uie three
coners win never snme round the neck of an
eaiuily beauty. They and Foulata's bones
win keep cola company tilt the end of all
tilings.
iVith a sigh of disappointment we made
our way back, and next uay started for Loo.
And yet it was really very ungrateful of us
lo be uisapiKinted; tor. as the reader will re
member, i had,, by a iucky tnougnt, taken
tne precaution to fi.l the pockets of my old

comparatively speakimr, an enormous quan
tity still remained, inciudim; eignieeii large
.stones, ranging from aiie.it one iiuudred and

all, if uot uniiioiiaires, ut least exceedingly
wealthy men, and yet to keep enougn stones
eacu to make the turee finest sets ot gems in
.Europe. iio we bad not done so badiy.
On. arriving at Loo. we were most cordial
ly received by lgnosi, whom- we found well,
and bnslfy engaged in consolidating his

lunosi covered his face with his hands for
awhile before answering.
"-My heart is sore," he said, at last; "your
words split my heart in twain. What have
1 done lo e, lucubii, Macumazahn, and
liougwau, that ye should leave me desolate'
le who stood t me in rebellion and in bat

Does not the elephant walk through my lor
ests, and tue river-horse sleep in tne reeds,?
Would ye make war? My impis (regiments)
wait your word. If there is anything more
that 1 can give, that will 1 give ye."
.Nay, l;;iiosi, we want noi these things,"
1 answered; "we would seen our own
place."
'Now do I perceive," said lgnosi, bitter
ly, and with Hashing eyes, "tuat it is tue
.sioties that ye love more than me, your
friend. Ye have tue stones, now would vou
go to Natal and across Uie moving black
water and sell tucui, and be rich, as n is the
uesire ot a white man's heart lo be. Cursed
lor our sake be the stones, and cursed he
w no seeks laeui. Death snail it be to linn
woo sets foot in the place of Death to seek
them. 1 have spoken, white men ; ye can
go."
1 laid my hand upon his arm. "lgnosi," I
said, "tell us, when thou didst wander in
Zululand, and among the while men in Na
tal, did not thine heart turn to the land thy
mother toid thee of, thy naiive land, where
thou didst see the light, and play wneu thou
wast litlie, the land where thy plaee was. '
It was even so, Macuinazaliii."
'Then thus do our hearts turn to our
land aud to our own place."
Then came a pause. When Iguosi broke
it, it was in a different voice.
1 do perceive that thy words are, now ns
ever, wise and full of reason, Macumazahn ;
that which llies in the air loves not lo run
a ong the ground; the white man loves not
to live on tue level of the black. Weil, ye
must go, and leave my heart sore, because
ye will be as dead to me, since from where
ye will be no tidings can come to me.
"iiut listeu, ana let all me white men
know my words. No other white man shall
cross the mountains, even if any man live to
come so far. 1 will see no traders with tueir
guns and rum. My people snail light with
uie spear, and drink water, like their fore
fathers before them. 1 will have no pray-tng-fiien
to put fear of deatu into men s
hearts, to stir tuetn up against the king, and
make a patn for tne while men who follow
to run on. if a white man comes to my
gates 1 will send luiu back; if a hundred
come 1 will push them back; if an army
comes I will make war on them with all my
strength, aud they snail not prevail against
me. None snail ever come for the shining
stones; no, not an army, lor if tuey come I
wilt send a regiment and fill up tne pit, and

seconds, and then threw the corner of his

from us.

We went in silence. , .
Next day at dawn we went to Loo. escort.
ed by our old friend, Infadoos, who was
heartbroken nt our drpartnra, and; the regi
ment of Buffaloes. . Early as the hour was.
all the main treet Of the 'town lwas lined
with multitudes of oedole. who cave 111. ;th
royal salute as we passed at the head of the
regiment, while the women blessed us aa
having rid the land of Twala. throwing
flowers before us as we went. It really was
very atfet-tin?. and not the sort of thing one
is accustomed to meet with from natives.
One very ludicrous incident occurred, how
ever, which 1 rather welcomed, as it gave
us somrthin? to laurh at.
now was sn tiH'n yoiinir,
Just oe no re we got 10 tne eonanes ot tne
town a pretty young girl, with nom beauU-
lui lilies in her band, cume running forward
and presented them to Good (somehow they
all seemed to like Uood; 1 think his eye
glass aim solitary wuisker gave nun a ncti
tious value), and then said she had a boon
to ask.
"Speak on."
"Let my lord show his servants his beauti
Tul while legs, that his servant may look at
them, aud remember them all her da vs. aud
tell of them to her children; his servant has
travefe 1 lour day s journey to see thi-m, for
the tame oi them has gone throughout the
land."
"I'll be hanged If I do," said Good, ex
citedly.
' Come, come, my dear fellow," said Sir
Henry, !! e.iu 1 refuse to oblige a lady

However, 111 tue end he con-.etred to draw

As we trave.e 1, inia 100s told us that
there was anotu r pass over the mountains
to ihe 1101 In ot t.ie one followed by Solo
mon s great road, or rather tnai there was a
place wnere it was possible to cliuio down
the wa.l ot the c.ilt mat separated lvikua
naland 1 rum the desert, aud w i3 broken oy
tne towering snapes 01 Sueoa's Breasts. It
appeared, loo, tuat ratner more than two
years previously a parly ot Jvukuaua hun
ters had desc. nded this pain 11110 ihe desert
in search 01 ostriches, whose p.uuies were
much prized among tnein for war head-dres
ses, ana that in the course ot their hunt they
had been fed tar from the mountains, and
were much troubled by thirst. Seeing, how
ever, trees on the horizon, they made toward
them, and discovered a large and fertile
oasis of some miles in extent, and plentiful
ly watered. It was by way of this oasis that
he suggested that we should return, and the
idea seemed to us a good one, as it appeared
that we should escape the rigors of the
mountain pass, and as some of the hunters
were in attendance to guide us to the oasis.
from which, they stated, they could perceive
more fertile spots far awav in the desert.
(It Oi ten puzzled all of us to understand
how it was possible that ignosi's mother.
bearing the child with her, should have
survived the dangers of the journey across
the mountains and the desert dangers
which so nearly proved fatal to ourselves.
It has since occurred to mc and I give the
idea to the reader for what it is worth that
she must have taken this second route, and
wandered out, like Hagar, into the desert
If sue did so, th re is no longer anything
inexplicable about the story, since she may
well, as lirnosi himself related, nave been
picked uo by some ostrich hunters before
she or the child were exhausted, and led by
them to the oasis, and, thence, by stages, to
the fertile country, and so on, by slow de
grees, southward to ZUiUland. A. 14.)
Travelins easiiv. on the night of the
fourth day's journey we found ourselves
once more on the crest of the mountains that
separate Kukuanaland from tue desert,
which rolled away in sandy billows at our
feet, and about twenty-five miles to the
north of Sheba's Breasls.
At dawn on the following day, we were
led to the commencement of a precipitous
descent, by which we were to descend the
precipice, and gam the desert two thousand
and more feet away, , . ,-. .'
Here we bade farewell to that true friend
and sturdy old warrior, Infadoos who
solemnly wished all good upon us, and near
ly wept with grief. ".Never, my lords," tie
said, "shall mine old eyes see the like of ye
again. Ah ! the way that Incubu cut his
men down in the battle. Ah! for the sight
of that stroke with which he swept off my
brother Twala's head 1 It was beautiful
beautiful J I may never hope to sees such
another, except, perchance, in happy
dreams."
We were very sorry to part from him, in
deed, Good was so moved that he gave him
as a souvenir what do you think? an eye
glass. (Afterward we discovered that it was
a spare one.) Infadoos was delighted, fore
seeing that the possession or such an article
would enormously increase his prestige, and,
after several vain attempts, actually suc
ceeded in screwing it into his own eye.
Anything more incongruous tuan the old
warrior looked with an eyeglass 1 never saw.
Eyeglasses don't go well with leopard-skin
cloans ana black ostrich plumes.
Then, having seeu that our guides were
well laden with water and provisions, and
having received a thundering farewell salute
from iue Buffaloes, we wrung the old war
rior's hand and began our downward climb.
A very arduous business it proved to be,
but somehow that evening we found our
selves at the bottom without accident.
"Do you know," said Sir Henry that night,
as we sat by our nre and gazed up at the
beetling cliffs above us. "1 think that there
are worse places than Kukuanaland in the
world, and that I have spent uuhappier
times than tne last month or two, though 1
have never spent such queer ones. Kb. 1 you
fellows?" .
"I almost wish I were back." said (J001L
with a sigh.
As for myself, 1 reflected that all's well
that ends well ; but in the course of a long
life of siiaves, I uever had such shaves as
those I had recently experienced. The
thought of that battle still makes me feel
cold all over, and as for our experience in
the treasure-chamber
Next morning we started on a toilsome
march across the desert, having with us a
good supply of water carried by our guides,
and camped that night in the open, starting
again at uawu 011 tne morrow.
By midday of the third day's journey we
could see the trees of the oasis ot which the
guides spoke, and by an hour before sun
down we were once more walking upon
grass aud listening to the sound of running
water.
chapter xx.
FOl'XD. . ' .
And now 1 coma to perhaps the strangest
thing that happened to us in all that strange
business, aud one which shows how won
derfully things are brought about,
I was walking quietly along, some way in
front of the other two, down the banks of
the stream which ran from the oasis till it
was swallowed up in the hungry desert
sands, when suddenly 1 stopped and rubbed
my eyes, as well i might. Tuere not twen
ty yards in front, placed in a charming situ
ation, . under . the shade of a species of ng
tree, and lacing to the stream, was a c(,zy
hut built more or less on the Kafir pn.10p.lv
of grass and withes, only with a fi.u-itn' 'tu
door iustead of a bee-fioie. , ' ,
"Wnat the dicKens," said I . to uiyseif,
"can a nut be doing here I'' . Even as 1 said
it, tne aonr 01 tne hut opened, and there
limped out of it a white man clothed in
skins, and with an enormous black oeard. i
Hiougnt 1l1.il 1 must have got a loucii of the
sun. Ii was inipos-uhie. No hunter ever
came to Mich a piace as thiri, Certainly 110
hunter wuiud ever setue in it. 1 stared and
siared, and so uid tue other man, and
jn.-t at that juncture Sir Henry and Good
ciiue up.
' Look here, you follows." I said, "is thai
a white man or am 1 rn;ul?"
.Sir Henry looked, and Iood looked, and
then all of a sudden the lam white man
ciime hobbling toward us. When he got
close, he fell down in a sort of faint.
vvth a snrintr birllenrv was bv hi side.
"tJreat Powers!" fie cried!" ."it is inj
brother George I" - -
At the sound of the disturbance anothei
figure, also clad in skins, emerged from the
hut, with a gun in his hand, and came run
ning toward us. On seeing tne be, too, gave
a cry.
'Macumazabn," he halloed,., "don't yon
know me, Ba'aaf.'-Vln'Jim the hunter. 1 lost
the note you gave me to give to the Baas,
and we have been here nearly two years."
And the fellow, fell, at my feet, and rolled
over and over; weeping for joy.-
"You careless scourdrel!" I 9aid;,you
OrhrhttoW well hided." ,
Meanwhile the man with the black beard
had recovered and got up, and ,he . and Sir
Henry were pnnip-Iiandnng away at eaeh
other, apparently without a word to say.
But whatever they had quarreled about 111
the past (I suspect it was a lady, though J
never asked), it was evidently forgottee
