Everything was very still. Finally, the man's five-year-old boy, who was seated at his right, reached for his napkin and quietly wiped the end of his "WaBn't that a funny thing for him to do?

Vet that veiv thing happened and through Hans himself. Thus- Old Harut had come to me Just ono hour before dawn tn Inform me thai all our people were awake and nt their stations and to make some last nriarigeinents as to tho couie of tho defense, nlso about our final concen tration behind the last lino of walls and In tho first court of the temple, if we should ho driven from the outer intrenchments lie was telling nie that the Oraclo of tho Ch'ld had uttered words at tho ceremony that night which bo and all the priests con sidered weie of the most favorable Import, news to which I listened with some im patience, feeling ns I did that this business hnd passed nut of Hie range of the Child and 'ts Oracle As he spoke, suddenly through the silence that precedes the dawn, there floated to our .ars tho unmistakable sound of a rifle Yes. a rifle shot, half a mile or so away, followed by tho roaring murmur of a great camp unexpectedly alarmed at night "Who can havo fired that"' 1 asked. "The Black Kendall have no guns. ' Ho leplled that be did unt know.

T thought I caught sight of something running toward ine like a crouching man 1 lifted my ilflo to fire hut. reflecting that It might bo no more than a hvena nnd fearing to provoko a fusillade from my half-trained company, did not do so. Next Instant 1 was glad Indeed, for Immediately on the other side of the wall behind which I was standing I heard a well-known voice gasp out "Don't shoot, Baas, 'It is I ' "What havo ou been doing, Hans? I said as bo sciamble.l over tho wall to my side, limping n little as I fancied "Baas," bo puffed, "I have been paying the Black Kendall a visit. I crept down between their stupid outposts, who are as blind In the dark as a bat In daylight, hop ing to find Jana and put a bullet Into bis leg or trunk. T didn't find him. Hans, nithntich 1 beard him Hut ono of their captains stood up in front of a watchflie, giving a good shot. My bullet found him.

Ivory -horns brayed, captains shouted orders, tho very mbuntalns shook beneath the beating of thousands of feet of men and horses, while In one great yell that echoed from the cliffs and forests went up the battlecry of "Jana!.

Still, that little trick of .vours has cost them dear, Hans " Ity degiees the dawn began tn ht.uk It was. I remember, a paiticularly beautiful dawn, lesemhling a gigantic and xhld rose opening in the east, or a cup of brightness from which many colored wines were ponied nil athwait tho firmament. Very peaceful nlso for not a breath of wind wns stlning. But what a scene the first ravs of the sun revealed upon that narrow stretch of pass In front of us. Everywhere Jhe pit falls and trenches were filled with stilt surging heaps of men and horses, while all about lay dead and wounded men. tho red harvest of our rlflo fire. It wns dreadful to contrast tho heavenly peace above nnd the hellish horror beneath Wo took count nnd found that up to this moment we had not lost a single man one only having been slightly wounded by a thiowu spear As Is common among seinl savages, this fail filled the White Kendall with an undue exultation. Thinking that as the beginning was so the end must he, they cheered and shouted, shaking hands, then fejl to eating the food which the women brought them with appetite, chattering In cessantly, although as n general rule they were a very silent people, liven the grave Harut who arrived full of congratulations, seemed as high-spirited as a bov. till I re minded him that the teal battle had not et commenced The Black Kendall had fallen into a tiap and lost somo of their number, that was all. which was fortunate for us. but lould scarcely affect the Issue of the struggle. since they had many thousands leu. i:ag nall, who had come up from his lines, agreed with nie. As ho said, Iheso people were fighting for life as well as honor, see ing that most of the corn which they needed for their sustenance was stored In great heaps cither In or to tho rear of the temple behind us. Therefore they must come on until they won or were destrojed How with our small force could we hope to de strov this multitude? That was the prob lem 'which weighed upon our hearts About a quarter of an hour later two spies that vve had set upon the top of the precipitous cliffs, whence they hnd a good view of the pass beyond the bend, came scrambling down the rocks like monkeys by n route that was known to them. These boys, for they were no more, reported thnt tho Black Kendah wero re-forming their army bevond the bend of the pass, and that tho rava'lrv wero dismounting and sending their hoises to the rear, evidently because they found them useless. In such a place. A little later solitary men appeared from be hind the bend, carrying bundles of Mng sticks lo each of which was attached a piece of white cloth, a proceeding that ex cited my curiosity. Soon Its object became apparent. Swiftly these men. of whom In the end there may have been thirty or forty, ran to and fro, testing tho ground with apeara In search for pitfalls. I think they only found a very few that had not been broken Into, but. In front of these and also of thoee that wtre already full of men and horses they set up the flags aa a warning that they ahould be avoided in tne advance. AJao they removed a number of their wounded. iv had areat difficulty In restraining tht White Kendah from rushing out to attack them, which, of course, would pnly hav i. a into r tran in our turn, atnee tney 1917" THEIR TROTH ns the result must haie been manv mlses iii.l a great waste of ammunition which ere long would lie badlv wanted 1, how ever, did shoot two or tin ce. then gave it up. ns the remainder took no notlco what ever. When they had thotoughlv exploied the ground they retired until, a little later, the Hlack Kendah aimy began to appeal . marching In serried regiments and excellent order toiin.l tho bend, till peihnps eight or ten thousand of thoni wero xlslble, n very tierce and nwe-lnsplrliig Itnpl Their ftont tanks halted between throe and four hun- ili.il vards nwa.v. which I thought farther on" than t was advisable to open fire on them with Snider rifles held b.v unskilled troops Then came a pause which at length was broken by the blowing of boms and n sound of exultan shouting he) nnd the turn of the pass Now fiom round this turn appeared the rlrangcvt sight that I think my eyes had even seen Yes, there came Hie huge ele phant, Jana, at a slow, shambling trot On his bad, and head wero two men in whom, with my glasses. I tecognlzed the lame priest whom 1 alicady knew too well, nn.l Slmbn tho king of the Blaik Kendah. himself, girgeouslv nppareled nnd waving a long sptar. seated In a kind of wooden chair. Round the brute's neck wero n num ber of bright metal chains twelve In all and each of these chains was held by a spearman who ran alongside, six on one s'de and six on the other. Lastly, Ingenl-ous-l.v fastened tn the end of his trunk were throe other chains to which wero attached spiked knobs of metal On he came hs docllelv as an.v Indian elephant used for carrying teak log", pass, mg through the center of the host up a wide lane which bad been loft.
