In hot haste, armed search parties were started off on the spoor of the baboons, but the darkness was gathering, their” traces soon became indistinguishable, even their direction was lost, and after a few hours the bafiled pursuers began | to straggle back to the fort, bitterly lamenting their failures. It had fallen to my lot to remain be- hind, and in the absence of her hus. band, perform the painful duty of com- forter to Mra, Murdo. Her agony of mind was pitiable; she stcod hour af- ter hour-at the gate—a slim, girlish figure in her white dress— watching in dry-eyed, stony grief for the returs of the rescuers. As the men came in, one after another, and Boffles was re. lnctantly abandoned for the night to the gruesome perils of the bush and the baboons, she paced up and down, wringing her hands in an inconsolable anguish of tears, “My darling baby, my darling boy; what will Jeff say?

I reached it without seeing or hearing a livieg thing, and dismounted for a few moments to slacken the girths and let my good animal regain his wind and dip his muzzle in the water. The fountain was in the centre of a dark clamp of trees; outside, the veldt was lit up by a pale moonlight; the loneliness of the pisce was weird, the silence of the solitade guite awe-inspiring. A oreepy fesling. almost of fear, came over me when I saw a man on | foot, and in his shirt-sleeves, carry- ing a dark bundle and advancing stealthily towards the clamp. He walked around it in a cirele, peering apwards among the trees apparently in search of something. To my utter astonishment, I recognised the man ss Captain Murdo. Presently he ) beneath a branch, pulied it downwards by the twigs, then care. folly deposited his burden in the fork, let the branch rise again, and started running swiftly back in the direction {from which he had come.
