IT IS an erroneous Idea Hint wealth and luxury of every kind In life nro nlwny.i the things that arc most satisfying; I vvum highly diverted recently on hoarding a train for one of the suhuilm to see the wife of a man whose nnmo stands for everything that Is bast In rtilturo mil who Is one of our very wealthiest and most exclusive members of society, mid. believe me, she Is right alongside of hubby In all his Ideas and associations. Well, my dears, discarding for once her many limousines and cars, milady en tcred the nice, common train nnd settled herself comfortably on one of tho scats nnd proceeded to spread out her sable coat, evidently relieved that there was no mnld nor footman to do it for her. Thou she unrolled a magazine one of tho kind filled with short and snappy stoiles and proceeded to enjoy herself. In a few minutes, however, hubby, came Into the car, he who had occupied the first seats among the mighty In pretty nearly every project undertaken In the city in tho last twenty years, especially musical ones. Well, ho slipped up the aisle and. with a twinkle In his eye, as of a schoolboy playing hookey, leaned over and popped a five-cent chocolate nut bar into tho lap of his much-feted and attractive wife. Then he seated himself beside her and carefully unwrnpped tho tin foil from n similar bar which ho had saved for him self nnd ate tho whnlo piece, evidently having the tlmo of his life. Mrs. laughed heartily at him and took a bite or so her self. Which only goes to prove that no mat ter How powerful a factor In tho World of flnanco or how beautiful, kind and benevolent ono may be. thero are times when to let down tho bars and Just bo "plain folks" Is a huge relief.

CIIAPTHIl VIII (Colli lulled) "-pLWASK put it all down us a rich man's -x- whim." he vnm-hided. So we fell to discussing the wlieme, route and details of our proposed journey. Kx peuditurH being practically no object, there were several plans open to us. W'e might sail up the coast and go by Kilvva. us I had done on the search for the Holy Flower, or we might retrace the line of our retreat from the -Miizilu country which ran tbrotign .uliilnnd. Attain. ' "ilBbt advance by vvliatuver rotiil we selected witli u small army of drilled and disciplined retainers, trusting to force to bieuk u way through Kendall. Or we might g practically un accompanied, relying on our native wit and jtood fortune to attain our ends. Kuoh ot these alternatives hud so much to rcroin iiienil It, and yet presented so many diill cuttles that ufter long hours of discussion, for this tullt was renewed again anil again. I found It uuite impossible to decide upon any uuo of them, especially as in the nul Lord llasnull ulwu.vs left the choice with its heavy responsibilities to me. At length In despair I opened the window and whistled twhi on a certain low note. A minute later Hans shuffled in. shaking the wet off the new corduroy clothes he had bought upon the stiength of bis return i affluence, for it was tabling outside, and squatted down upon the Hour at a little distance. In the shadow of the futile which cut off the light from the hanging lamp he looked, I remember, exactly like an enormous and anliciue toad I threw him u pieco of tobacco which he thrust Into his corncob pipe mid lit with a mutch. "The Haas called me," ho said when It was drawing to his satisfaction, "what does tho Haas want of Huns?" "Light In darkness!" I replied, playing on bis native name, and proceeded to sot out the whole case to blm. He listened without a word, then asked for a small glass of gin. vv hieh I guve him doubtfully- Having swallowed this at a gulp as though It were vvuter, he delivered himself brl.-fly to this effect: - "I think the Haas will do well not to go to Kilwu. since it means waiting for a ship, or hiring one ; also there may be mora slave traders there by now who will bear him no love because of a lesson lie taught them a while ago. on the other hand the road through Kululand is open, though tt ha long, and there tho name of Murumazanu is one well known. I think also that the Haas would do well not to take ton many men. wlio make marching slow. only o wagon or two, nnd some drivers, ivtilcU migllt bo sent back when they can go no further. From Sululaml messengers cao Us (llsnatchca to tho Slasltu, who tevo r i i n iiuhiiiin i you, nnd Itiiusl or whoever is Ultig there today will order bearers to meet us on the ronil. until which fime we can hire other bearers in Xululunil. The old woman at ltezti-Town toltl me. moreover, as you will remember, that the Kendall are a Very great people who live by themselves and will al low none to enter their land, which Is bor dered by deserts. Therefore no force that you could take with you and feed tipoit a road without water would be strong enough to knock down their gates like an elephant, a ml it seems better Hint ou should In to creep through thetii like a wise snake, although they appear to he shut in your fan-. Perhaps nlsn they will nut be 'shut since el it I you not say that two of their great doctors promised to meet you unit guide ,vou through them'."' "Yes." I interrupted, "I dare say It will be easier to get In than to get out of Kendall Laud." "Last of all. Haas. If you take many men armed with guns, the hlack part of the Kendall people of whom I told you will pei baps think you como to make wur. whatever the white Kendall mil" say. and kill us all. whereas if we be but u few perchance they will let us pass In pfuoe. I think that is all. Haas. Let the Haas and the Lord Igezn forgive me If my words are foolish " Here I should explain that "Iko.u" was the name which the natives had given to Lord Ungual! because nf Ids nimeurance. The word men tin a handsome person In the Ktmi tongue, savage they called "Himih." I don't ipiite know why. "Hena" in Zulu means to push out the breast nnd it may lie that the name was a roundabout allusion to the proud appearance of the dignified Savage, or possibly it had some other re condite signification. .At any rate L&rd llagnll. Hans and myself knew the splendid Savage thenceforward by the homely up pellntiou of lleuns. ills master said it suited him very well because he. was so green. "Tile advice seems wise. Hans. ' tin now. No. no more gin," I answered. As u matter of fact, careful considera tion convinced us It was so wise that we acted on it duivn to the last detail. So It c.ime about that one tine afternoon nbuiit a fortnight later, for hurry as we would our preparations took a little time, we trekked fur Zulu hi lid over the sandy toads Hint ran from the outskirts of Durban, our buggage and stores were stowed in two half-tented wagons, very good wagons since everything w hail with us was the best that money could buy, the after part of which served us us sleeping-places at night.

A few seconds later we discovered the reason. The horse had shied at a sleeping inl'f adder which was curled up In the sand of that little frequented road, and on this puff adder Savago had descended with so much force, for ho weighed thirtc. n stone. that tho creature was siiuushed quite flat ond never stirred again This, however, ho did not notice in his agitation, being; convinced, 'indeed, that It was (langitif- to him behind like a bulldog.
