Ever and anon Bludsoe, cautious Jim of the prairies, Would come to a halt in order to listen: and Rex could not but notice that he seemed

more concerned with what might oc- cur in their rear than the unknown depths before, Which they were yet to pierce.

So far as Hastings could tell, the only sounds that came to them were the old familiar flutter of frightened bats’ Satanic wings, as they beat

air in a frantic rush to escape from the hated light; but the practic- ed ears of the cowboy ere long detec- ted something more than this, if the nervous Way in which he played with the revolver he held in his hand was any criterion, and one could guess the meaning of his more frequent hackward glances.

They were pursued, and the blacks, as if to keep their courage up, were giving tongue occasionally like a pack of hounds.

side of the gncient volcano, and eyes were strained to discover some sign ef an outlet.

Louder grew the shouts from the rear, and’ Bludsoe suddenly discover- ed there were lights in that quarter, which fact explained several things that had appeared strange.

‘“There’s no use talking, we must turn at bay and show our teeth,’’ he declared, and no man ventured to argue the matter.

So the friendly torch was dropped under their feet and trampled upon until the last spark had been stamp- ed out.

Then low words of command were given and the little group of African argonauts threw themselves almost flat, each man taking advantage of what cover fortune threw in his Way, perhaps an out-cropping rock, or if nothing better the saddlebags laden with gold. Rex, crouching there with this barrier in front, wondered whether in the history of the world than himself had ever

Weak, Siokly Children

Are Restored to Health and Vigour by Using Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food.

Many children are pale, weak, and bloodless from their birth. Many others have their blood and nerves exhaust- ed, and their systems broken down by the ravages of disease, or as the re sult of over-study at school.

Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food is the ideal treatment for children. It supplies the very elements which are lacking in the pale, weak, and nervous. It restores the colour ard richness to the blood, invigorates the nerves, and builds up the system. As a restorative after the exhausting and debilitating effects of measles, scarlet fever, and such aij- ments, it is of incalculable worth.

Mrs. St2phen Dempsey, Albury, P. eounty, Ont., writes:—* My little grand. daughter, nine vears old, was very pale and weak, and had no appetite. She had a tired, wornout appearance, and was delicate and sickly. I got some of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food for her, ang it hag helped her very much. She its gaining considerably in weight and k-Oks real healthy.”

boy a natural leader of men in timé of battle

Closer still, until the very whites of the leader’s eyes could be seen in the weird glare of the blazing torches— had Bludsoe forgotten to give the word, or was he paralyzed?

‘“‘Now!’’ suddenly rang out, and the exclamation was drowned in the awful crash of six revolvers, flashing out their fiery contents.

The scene was one that almost beg- gars description — With the shrieks flam-

ing black devils waving their beaux and hurling assegals and spears toward their unseen foes, it

was not unlike a page from the his- tory of the Inferno as pictured by the pencil of a Dante.

The roar of firearms again awoke a thousand echoes in the confined space. It was as though some thunder-bolt, forged by immortal Jove, had been hurled upon the earth to be shattered into fragments.

Men were sent bowling down—some fell to lie there like logs, while others rolled over, or else attempted to

scramble to their feet, still filled ith

they are.

And the terrible to cut the darkness seeming like the fiery tongue of some monster serpent that lay in walt to receive the invaders of this haunted passage; while the cruel messengers of lead tore through the ranks of the assailants.

Flesh and blood could stand it longer. The Zambodi had borne undey the storm with a bravery that

would have done credit to the Old Guard of Napoleon, but there Was 4 limit to their valor.

Those who were able turned and fled in terror. The torch bearers even forgot to throw down their lights, and thus screen their retreat, but a considerate foe refused to fire after them once the victory was won.

‘“‘How is it With you, boys?’ shout-

above the wild death chants of a couple of wounded braves, who doubtless fully expected the first move of the victors would be to knock them on the head, since those Were the ethics prevailing among the Zulu races of South Africa.

Reassuring replics came from all sides.

The murderous assegais with their keen points often dipped in poison, had found no victims, thanks to the sheltering ramparts, and the fact that they were cast at random, in the midst of tremendous excitement.

Quick and sharp came Bludsoe’s di- rections, and taking hold of hands for additional security the little par- ty again moved forward.

“What lay before them was utter'y unknoWn, Since the most intense darkness reigned.

At any moment they might stumble into a gulf the counterpart of that which swallowed up the wretched black scout.

This caused a fearful strain upon their nervous systems, and presently the cowboy refused to sanction i‘ longer.

‘We might have light,’’ he declar- ed,« firmly.

So the torch

was again brought

out, and Jim had drawn forth a match which he meant to use in

starting a little fire, when an exclam- ation from Phil directed their atten- tion beyond. No sooner had Bludsoo turned his eyes in the quarter indicat - ed than he cried out in joy:

“The opening of this devil’s hole, boys, thank God!’’

BOOK III.

CHAPTER XVII. IN DURANCE VILE.

A faint light had been discovered which they could reasonably presum, came from the Zambodi kraal. ar as they drew nearer, the outlines of the mouth of the cavern bocame vis- ible.

Of course Jim no longer desired to ignite his torch, since the cnanc. were it might betray them te the enemy.

In five minutes they had gained opening and the scene Was spread fore them.

{ Darkness still wrapped the earth in

her sable mantle, and while an occas- ional flash came from the clouds, the rumble of thunder seemed more dis- tant, as though the storm had gone around—indéed, at this time of year such a disturbance was singular enough to attract more than passing notice, since it corresponds to our December in latitudes north of the, equator.

Before them was the great kraal of the warlike blacks. Fires burned in many places, and the most intense excitement reigned.

Loud rolled the war drum, and sav- age shouts from men and women an@ even children testified to the tremerx- dous influence the presence of our lit tle party had upon the self-cons* }tut- ed guardians of the sacred ,

‘““My part of the mission has beet completed, but how about yours?’’ asked Rex,

‘Possibly it may have to wait un- til a more convenient Season,’’ was the reply of a practical man, accus- tomed to governing his actions by the conditions that prevailed. At any rate it was exceedingly per- ilous for them to remain where they were, Since danger menaced them from several quarters.

Bludsoe crept outside to take an observation and presently rejoined them. ,

“What are the prospects?’’ demand- ed Lord Bruno, as the cowboy back. :

“Bad enough, sir. shelf again, as it were. To go up is impossible, and I don’t see how we Can pass down except by using our lariats.’’

“But the wild beast—__””

“‘Never came in this way—we must have missed his road, I reckon. It is too late now to go back and search for it. Get your ropes ready, pards for we'll need ’em both.’”’ .

Always prompt and reliable, Jim set to work in the endeavor to un- ravel the tangle that now threatened their future.

Jim was last. Jim, upon whom da volved the task of Saving the ropes, which

might even again come in very handy in assisting them when

disaster threatened,

Bludsoe doubled the rope and pass- ing down to its limit found a pro- jecting rock which served as a spur, upon which he again repeated his tactics and reached his comrades in safety, when a pull on one end of the rope recovered it.

They found themselves against the cliff, between which and the kraal the impis had conducted their fantas- tic War dance under the direction of the witch-doctor.

The situation was full of danger, since at any moment discovery might come. At the same time they were bound to move in spite of a thous- and aggressive warriors.

One and all were united with re- gard to their proper course, for it Was easy to decide in which quarter the doctor awaited their coming.

They made a start, and began creeping along at the foot of the cliff, looking like ghouls from an- other world.

More than once Bludsoe uttered Savage anathemas against the fires

upon Which the children of the kraal were heaping all the inflammable rub- bish they could collect, to the im- minent danger of a grand conflagra- tion, should the grass conical huts once start burpine-

His Cure by Using Dr. Chase’s Oint- meant.

Not a day passes but many people yolunteer recommefdations of Dr. Chase's Ointment as an absolute cure for eve?y ftotm of piles,

“I was treubled for two years with that cruel disease, bleeding piles, and after using Dr. Chase’s Ointment, I can say I am entirely rid of it. It ig a treasure to all suffering frem piles.” Dr. Chase’s Ointment is guaranteed to positively cure any case of itching, bleeding, or protruding piles.
