AlOUNTRD tho camel nfter I had
H1;
paused a minute to take a pull from a
flask of bran.lv which remained In the saddle-bags
Although ho loved strong drink so
well. Hans bad saved It untouched on tho
moro chance that It might somo tune he of
service to me, his master. Tho monke-liko
Hottentot sat In front ami directed tho
camel whilo I accommodated myself as best
1 .ould on tho sheepskins behind Luckily
they were thick nnd soft, for .Inna's pinch
was not exactly that of a lovoi
off we went, picking our wav carefully
till wo readied Iho elephant track beyond
tho mound where ,lati,i bad appealed, which,
in the light of faith, we hoped would lead
us to tho River Tava. Hero wo mado bet
ter pi ogress, but still could not gn very fast
because of tlio holes made by the feet of
.Tana and In company. Somi we had loft
the cemetery behind us. and Inst sight of
the lake, which I dcvoutlj trusted 1 might
never see again.
Now tho tracks ran upward from the
hollow t.i a rldgo two or three miles nway
Wo t cached Iho crest of this rldgo without
accident, except that on our road wo met
another aged elephant, a cow with eiy
poor tusks. Raveling to Its last resting
place, or so I supposo
I don't know wlicli was the more frlght
enrd. tlTo si. k cow or the camel, for camels
hato elephants as horses hate camels until
they get used to them. Tho cow bolted to
the right ns quickly lis It could, will. Il was
not verv last, and tho camel hnltnl to tho
left with such convulsive hounds that we
worn nearly thrown nrf lis back However,
being an equable luute. it soon recovered Its
balance, and wo got luik in the track be
jond tho cow.
From the top of the rise we saw that lie
fore us lay n sandy plain lightly clothed
with grass, and, to our-Joy. nhout ten miles
away at tho foot of a very gentle slope, tho
mootil'ght gloami.l upon the waters of a
broad river It was not e.'.sv to make out,
but it was there; wo were loth sure It was
there; we could not mistake that wavering,
silver flash, on we went for another quarter
of it mile, when something . aused mo to
turn round on tlio sheepskin and look back.
On heavens! At tlio ven t.,p of the rise,
clearly outlined against the skv, stood Jnna
himself wllh bis trunk lifted et Instant
bo tiumpeted. a fur oils, tattling challenge
of rage and defiance
"Allemagte! Baas." said Hans. ' Iho old
devil is coming to lonli fm Ins Inst eye.
and has seen us with that which remains.
Re has been traveling on mi, spoor '
"Forward !" I answered, hanging my
heels into the camel's ribs
Then tho race began, "hat camel was
a very good camel, one nf tho leal tun
ning breed; nlso, as Hans p. id it was com
paratively fresh and mav 'ii..reovcr, have
been aware that It was neat to tho plains
where. It had been bred Lastly, tho going
was now excellent, soft to Its spongy foot
but not too deep in sand, imr were tliero
any rocks over which it could fall It went
oft llko tho wind, making nothing of our
united weights which did not . nine to more
than two hundred pounds, or a half of what
it could carry with ease being perhaps
urged to Its top speed hy the knowledge
that the elephant was behind.
For mile after mile we nulled down that
plain But wo did not gn alone, for Jana
came after us llko a cruiser after a gun

Alns' Hans was right' Tliero were
stones at the verge of tho rlvor. which
doubtless It bad washed nut III pel tods of
past tloo.l, and presently wo vvoio nmong
them Now a camel, so goml on sand that
is its native heath. Is a worthless brum
among stones .nor which It slips nnd floun

little or no obstacle. At anv rato ho came
over them almost If not quite ns fnst ns he
fore llv the tlmo that vie reached the brink
of tho water, ho was nut moro thin len
yards behind I could oven see the liloml
running down from tho socket of his mint .1

Moreover, nt Iho sight of the foaming but
shallow torfent, tho camel, ft creature un
accustomed to water, pulled up In a mulish
kind of wav nnd for a moment rofurcd to
stir. Luckily nt that Instant Jana let off
ono of his archangel kind of trumpetlngs
which started our beast again, since It was
moro afraid of eliphants than It was of
water
In wo went and were presently tiouiuler

of tho ilver. which was niwhore over four
feet deep, with Jana splashing after us
not more than llvo vat. is l.-'ond ' twisted

sav. but he stoppoil for a f.-w t minis',
perhaps because ho lemot-ilKMod the effect
ot a similar explosion upon his oe. which
gavo us a trilling slart T ion he came on

In a tinometit Jana was on o that camel
Ho gored it with ills tu. ! tramp. ed It
with his feet, ho got it i i mil the neck

work to pound It down Into the mud and

a persistent thotoughness tint he r.ive us
time to reach the other bit.k nnd el.p b up
a stout tree which grew thete, r x, oping,
flat-topped kind of tree that was fortu
nately easv to ascend, nt hast tor a man
Hero wo sat gasping perhaps alictu thirty
feet above tho ground level and walled
Presently Jana. having finished vv.th the
camel, followed us, and without ai y dllll
culty locat.il ns in that tr c Me wn'ked all
round It con..ideiitig the si'uati -ti. Then
ho wound his huge Run': about the bole
of tho tree and. putting out his gigantic
strength, tried to pull it over. It was nil
anxious moment, but this laitlcu'ar ciiuu
of tho fotcst had not grovn there fir soma
hundreds of yeats, wit lis atn'ing nil the

to bo laid low by an cl. pliant, however

Thrice did Jana repeat tbl3 maneuver,
and at llin Hind onslaught I saw to my
lmrror that the roots wero loosening. I
heaid some nf them snap and a crack ap
peared m Hie ground not far from the
hole Fmtuniitely, Jana never noted Hip.ip
svmpliinis. for abandoning a plan which
he cntisiih rod unavailing ho stood for n
while swajmg his trunk and lost in gentle
thought
"Hans ' I whispered, "load the rlflo

"Wet powder won't go off. Baas." groaned
linns. The water got to It In tlio river."
"No," 1 answered, "and It Is all your
fault for making me Bhoot at him when I
could lake no aim "
"It would have been Just tho Fame. Baas,
for tho rifle went under water also when

This was true, but it vvas maddening to
bo obliged to sit there with an empty gun,
when, if I had but ono charge, or even my
pistol. I was sure that 1 could have blinded
or crippled this satanlc pachyderm.
A few minutes later Jana played his last
card. Coming quite close to the trunk of
the tree, ho t cared himself up ns before,
but this time stretch?.! ot his forelegs so
that these and his body wero supported on
the broad bole. Then he elongated his
trunk nnd with It begin to break off boughs'
which grew between 'js and him.
"I don't think he can reach us," I said
doubtfully to Hnns: "that Is, untess he
brings a stone to stand on "
"Oh" Bass pray be silent." answered
Hnns, "or he will understand and fetch
one "
Although the Iden seemed absurd, on the
whole I thought It well to tnke tho hint, for .
who knew how much this experienced lieasi
did or did not understand" Then, ns we
emld go no higher, vie wriggled ns far ns
wo dared nlong our boughs and waited
Presently Jnna having finished his clear
ing operations began to lengthen bis trunk
to i's full measure Literally, It seemed to
expand plee a tele'cope or nil India-rubber
rung out It cnttie. loot nfter foot, till Its
snipping lip was waving within a few
u i h.s ,,f us just short of mv foot and
Matiss head or rathe' felt hat One flnal
Mrctih nnd ho reach".! tho hat. which he
i it-,, ved with a tlourl'h and thrust Into tha
t'd laiein of his mouth As It appeared
n i mini I suppose ho nto it. This loss of
i h hit mined Hans to fury Hurling hor-
i hi" nrsos at Jana ho drew his butcher's
1 nit,' and made rendy
i lino oii.ro th sinuous brown trunk
, ', ngatoil itself evidently Jana bad got a

P. ihaps had initially wriggled himself n

Over lie wont backward, a most Imperial
cropper Then ho picked h'melt up, thrust
the tip of his trunk Int.. bis mouth, sucked
it ns one does n cut linger, and finally,
roaring In defeated ingo lied Into the river,
which ho waded, and back upon Ills tracks
toward bis own Lome Yes. off bo went.
Hans screaming curses nnd demands after
hhn. that ho should restore bis hat. and
verv seldom In nil 'mv life have I scon a
s ght that 1 thought moie beautiful than
that of his whisking tall.
"Now, Baas," chuckled Hans, "the old
devil has got a tore non as well as a
soro oyo bv which to remember us And
Baas, I think wo had better lie going
before he has time to think nnd comes back
with n long stick to knock us out of this
tree "
So wo went. In double-quick tinin I can
assure ou, or at any rato as fast as my
ruff limbs and general condition would
allow. Fortunately we had now no doubt
ns to our direction, since standing up
through the mtsts of dawn with tho sun
beams testing on Its forest-clad crest, wo
could clearlv see the strange, tumulus,
shaped hill which the White Kendall called
tho lloiy Mount, tho Homo of tho Child. It
appeared to bo about twenty miles away,
hut In reality It was a good deal farther,
for when we had walked for several hours
it seemed almost as distant as over
In truth that was a dicadful trudge Not
only was I exhausted with nil tho terrors
I had passed and our long midnight flight,
but tho wound whero Jana had pinched out
a portion of mv frame. Inflamed b tho rid
ing, bad grown stiff and intoh'iably sore,
so that every step gavo me pain which
sometimes culminated In agony However,
it was no uso giving in. foodless as wo were,
for Alarut had carried tho provisions, nnd
with tho chance of Jana returning to look
us up. So I stu. k to it and said nothing.
For tho first ten mjes tho country
seemed uninhabited; doubtless It was too
near tho borders of tlio Black Kendall to bo
popular ns a placet of residence After
this we saw herds of cattlo nnd a few
camels, appaiently untended ; perhaps their
guards wore hidden in the long grass Then
wo camo to somo fields of mealies that were,
1 noticed, qillto untouched bv Hit hailstorm,
which, It would seem, had confined its at
tentions to tho land of tho Black Kendall
Of tlieso we nto thankfully enough. A llttlo
farther on vie perceived huts perched on
an inaccessible place In a kloof Also their
Inhabitants pcrce.ved us, for they ran away
as though In a groat fright.
