I asked him If during Jils stay hi Uils place, while I wus below at thn town or later, bo Inn! heaid or seen anything of his wife. "Nothing," ho nnsweied.

It was not al together a fantasy, for tho dress you de sciilnd u.is tlie i-aine we saw her wearing at tlie Feast of the Flist-frults." "I don t know what to make of it, Quat ermaln, exiept that in.inv strango things happen In the world which wo mock at ns insults to our limited Intelligence be cause we cannot understand them." (Very hooii I was to have another proof of tills remark.) "But what are jou driving ntj You are keeping something back." "Only this. Ragnall. If your wifo were utterly mail I lannnt conceive how It camo about that she seaiched you out nnd spoko to you even in a vision fop tho thing was not an individual dream slnco both you nnd Savage saw her. Nor did she actually visit you In the llesh. ns tlio door never opened nnd tho fplder's well ncross it was not broken. So it comes to this: either some part of her is not mad but can still exer cise suflkient will to pioject Itself upon, your senses, or she Is dead and her dis embodied spirit did this thing. Now wo know that sho Is not dead, for wo havo seen her and Harut has confessed ns much. Therefore I maintain that, whatever may bo her temporary state, she must still bo fundamentally "f a reabonablo mind, ns sho is of 11 natural body For Instance, sho mny onlv bo hipnotized, In which case tho spell will break ono day."

' I answered- "I havo looked nfter lilm ns well ns I could. O reverend sir. Llttlo enough have 1 done ; rtlll, not onco or twice or threo tlmo onlv have I offered up my llfo for him ns was inv duty, nnd jet wo both havo lived." And that I might bo sum ho heard tho best of me, nn was but natural. I told him the times. Baas, making a big story out of small things, although all tho while I could see that he knew eactly Just where I began to be nnd Just whero I stopped fiom lying. Still, ho did not scold me. Baas; Indeed, when t half llnlshed, ho said: " ".Veil done. O good and falthrnl sertan' ' words that I think' I halo heaid him use beforo when ho was alive, Baas, nnd used to preach to us for such a long time on Sun da v nfternoons Then he nsked: 'And how gnes it with Haas Allan, my son, Hans?- to which I replied' " 'The Baas Allan Is going to fight n very grent battle, In which ho may well fall, and If I could feel sorry here, which I can't, f should weep. O revel end sir, bocauo I havo died before that battle began nnd, therefore, cannot, stand at his side In tho battle and ho killed for him n n servant should for his master!' " 'You will stand at his side In tho bat tle, said jour reverend father, 'and thoso things which you desire j-ou will do. as It is lilting that miu should. And afterwaid, Hans, you will lepnit to mo of how tho liat t:o w-e'nt nnd of what honor my son has won therein "Moreover, know- Ibis, Hans, that though whllo j-ou live in the world you seem to sic manj other things, they nro but drenms, slnco In nil tho world there Is but one real thing, and Its name Is Love, wlilch, if It bo but mong enough, the stars themselvci must ohe.v, for It Is tlio king of every ono of then, and all who dwell 111 them wor ship it d.n and night under many names for ever Jinc. tver. Amen.' "What he meant by that I nm sure I, don't know'. Baas, seeing thut I havo never thought much of women, nt least' not for many i.iis sine my Inst old rouw went and drank heiself to death after lying in her sleep nn the baby which I loved much better thun I did her. Bans. "Well, befnio 1 could ask him. or nbout hell cither, he was gone like a whirt of Hiioko fiom u rille mouth In n strong wind " Hans piiused. puffed nt his pipe, spat upon tho ground in his usual rellcctivo way and atked. "Is the Baas tlicd of tho dicam or would ho llko to hear the rust?" "I should like tn bear the rest," I said In a low voice, for 1 wus strangely moved. "Well, Baas, while I was standing In that place, which was so full of quiet, turning my bat In my bands nnd wondirlng what work they would set me to thero among tlie devils, I looked up There I saw coming to viimi mo two iv beautiful women. Baas. who had their arms mound each other's"! netks They weie dressed in white, with tho little haul things that nro found In shells hanging about them, nnd bright stones tn their hair i nd as tho' came. Baas, wher ever they set a foot Mowers sprang up. veiy pictty 'lower, so that nil their path across tlie quiet pl.ico was maiked with flowers Birds, too, sang as they passed, at least 1 think they wiro birds, though I could not see lliein " "Ono of them, Baas, tho taller, I did not know But the other I know well enough ; It was she whose uamn Is holj-, not to be mentioned Yet I must mention that name! It was tho Jllsslo JIarle herself ns last wo saw her ullve many, many yenis ngo, only grown a hundred times moro beautiful." Now I groaned, and Huns went on: "Tho two Whlto Ones came up to mo nnd stood looking at me with eyes thnt wero moro soft than thoso of bucks. Then tho Mlsslo JIarlo said to the other, "This Is HaiiB, of wl.om i havo so often told jou, O Hero I groaned again, for how did this Hottentot know that namo, or rather Its sweet rendering? "Then Bhe who was called Star asked l 'How goes It with one who Is the heart qf all three of us, O HansT' Yes, Baas, those Shining Ones Joined me. the dirty little Hot tentot In my old clothes and smelling of .,,.,.. with themselves when they moke lot you. for I knew thetf JV of jou, for I ,knew they! were apeaklng of t be drunk, even there In the quiet phice. So I told them nil that I had told your rev erend father, and a very Krent deal more, for they seemed never lo bo tiled of listen ing And once, when I mentioned that some, times, while pretending to bo nsleep, I hnd benrd you praying nloud nt night for the Jlls JIarlo who died for you, and for another, who had been -our wife whoso name I did not remember but who had hlso died, they both cried n little, Bnns "Their tears shone l.ko crvstnls nnd smelt like that stuff in n little glas tube which Harut km lit that be brought from some fnr land when he put a drop nr two on jour halidlipt chief, nfter jou weie faint from the PHln In your leg at the homo j under. Or peihnps It was the llovvets thnt smelt, for vvheie the tenrs fell there sprang up white lilies shaped like two. babe's bands held together In linyer. "Bans, tho White Ono who wus called Star, ittkrd me of your son, the young Bans Harry, nnd I told her that when last I had seen him ho wns stinug und well and wuiild make it blrger mini than J'oti were, wherent she Jm ghed nnd shook her brad. Then tho Jflssle Marie snhl, "Tell (he Bans, linns, that 1 nlso have u child which ho will seo one daj. hut II Is not n son.' "After this they, too, said something nbout Iiove. but what It was I cannot re member, since even ns I repent this drenin to j-ou It Is beginning to slip away from me fast ns a swallow skimming tho water. Tholr last words, however. I do remember. They were: 'Say to the Bans thnt wo who never met Ih life, but who here nro ns twin sisters, vvnlt nnd count tho years und count the months) nnd count the davs and count tho hours and count tho minutes nnd count the seconds until once moro ho shall hear our voices calling to him acioss thn night ' That's what they said. Bans Then thev were gone and only the (lowers tcmnlnod to show that they had been standing there. "Now I set olf to litlng J'ou tlio tuessnge and traveled n very long way at n great rate; It Jana hlmelf had been after mo ! could lint have gnne innie fast. At last f got out of th.it quiet place and among mountains where wero ihitk kloofs, mid thero In tho kloofs I lu mil Zulu liupls singing their vvnr-mnir vr, tliev mug the Ingoma or rnmeihlijii t rv like It. Now suddenly In n pass of I he mountains nlnug Which I sped, theie appenrxl beforo mo a very beautiful woman whoso skin shono llko tho best copper colfon kettlo niter I havo polished It, Baas. Sho was pies'ed In a Icopard-hida mucha and vvmo on her shoulders n fur Itaross, nnd nbout her neck n circlet of bluo beads, nnd from her hair thero lose ono crane's feather tall as a walking-stick, ami In her hand sho held a little spear. No flowers sprang beneath her feet when sho wnlkeil tovvatd mo and no blids sang, only the nir wns filled with tho sound of n loyal salute which rolled nmoiig tho mountains like tlio ro.ir of thunder, und her cjes Hashed llko summer lightning." Now I let inj- hands fall nnd btnred nt him, for well 1 knew what was coming. " 'Stand, jcllovv man!' she said, 'ami give me tlio roj-al salute ' "So I gave her the Bajrte, though who sho might bo I did not know, slifco I did not think It wiso to stnj- to nsk her If It wero hers of tight, although 1 should havo liked to do so Then sho said". Tho Old Man on tho plain j-onder nnd tlmo two palo Whllo Ones havo talked to jou of their lovo for .vour master, thn Lord Jlacumazaiu.

Say to thn Loid Jlacumazan.i that, as I knuvv well, ho goes down to bat tle und that tho Lady Jlaniecna will bo with him In the batik ns, though hu saw her not, sho lias been with him III other battles, and will be Willi him till the River nf Time has I tin over the idgn of tho world and Is lost bejoml the sun. "'Let him iPineinber this when Jnna rushes on nnd death Is veiy near to him tod.i.v, and let hhu look for then perchance ho shall seo ine Bejfoiio now, Yellow Dog. to the hcpls of jour inastpr, und play j'our p.nt well In tho battle, for of what j-ou do or leave undoiio you shall glvo nccount to mo. Say that JIanieena sends her greetings to tlio Lord JLiciimaz.ina and that sho adds this, that when tho Old JIan nnd tho Whlto Ones told j-ou that Lovo is tlio secret blood of tho worlds which makes thorn to bo they did not Ho. Lovo reigns and I, Mnmectia, nm Its priestess nnd tho hcait of Jlacuma zan.i Is my holy house ' "Then. Bass, I tumbled off a precipice nnd vvoko up here; nnd. Bans, ns wo may not light n llro I havo kept somo coffee hot for j'ou burled in wnrm ashes," nnd with out another word ho went to fetch that coffeo, leaving mo shaken nnd amazed For what kind of n dream was It which revealed to an old Hottentot all these mysteilei and hidden things about persons whom ho bad never seen nnd of whom I had never spoken to hint? Jty father nntl inv wifo JIailo might bo explained, for with "(hesii ho had been mixed up, but how about Stella nnd nbovo all JIanieena, al though, of course, It was posslhlo that ho bad Ilea id of tho latter, who made tnnm stir 111 her time? But to lilt her off ns ho had dono lu nil her pride, splendor and dominion of desiio! Well, that was his stnrj- which, perhaps foitunately, I lacked tlmo to nnaljzo or brood upon, slnco thero was much lu It cal culated to unnerve a man Just entering thu crisis of n desperato flay. Indeed a minute ;or so later, as 1 wns swallowing tho last of tlio coflce, messengeis arrived nbout somo business, I forget what, sent by Ragnall I think, who had rtfecn beforo I woke.
