I 13 HE A WIZARDf
OntrRi African Who Travel Hun
drpil of Ml Ion In n I riincc
Here Is a yarn that has been picked
up by the Society for Pnychlcal Re
search, Dr. R. W. Felkin, who had ac
companied Emin Pasha on a tour
throtiRh I Randa and adjacent territory
Is responsible for It. He sayB that
some time last year his party had got
back to Larlo, about a thousand milot
south of Khartoum, and that he had
been without letters from Europe for a
year. Naturally, he was Impatient for
tidings. In that part of Africa he had
often come across wizards, who pre
tended to transform themselves Into
lions or other animals at night, and to
travel Immense distances In this guise.
They also assert that they acquire in
formation at such times about stolen
cattle and other lost property. Dr.
Kelkin says that, although he has no
explanation to offer In regard to these
alleged feats, he had a chance to veri
fy one of their stories.
One morning after his arrival at La
do, a man came to his tent, evidently
In great excitement, and said that the
local wizard, or "m'logo," had been
roaming about the country the night
before. In the form of a Jackal. During
his rumbles, the "m'logo" had visited
Meschera el Rek, fully 650 miles away,
between Latlo and Khartoum. The
wizard declared that two steamers bad
Just arrived at this point, and had
brought mails. He also described mi
nutely the appciiinnce of the KngllsU
oftit er accompanying the boats.
Dr. Kelkin ridiculed the story. But
Emln I'asha took the thing more ser
iously. He directed that the wizard be
brought before hiiu, and questioned the
fellow.
"Where did you go last night?"
"I was at Mescliera-el-Rek."
"What were yon doing there?"
"I went to see some friends."
"What did you see?"
"I saw two steamers arriving from
Khartoum."
"Oh, this Is nonsense! You could
not possibly have been at Meschera-el-Rek."
"1 was there." the wizard replied em
phatically. "And with the steamers
was an Englishman, a short man, with
a big beard."
"Well, what was his mission?"
"He says that the great pasha at
Khartoum had sent him, and he has
some papers for you. He is starting
overland to-morrow, bringing the pa
pers with him, and he will be here
about thirty days from now."
Dr. Kelkin says that thirty-two days
later the Englishman did arrive at Ija
do, and that he brought letters for the
party. The newcomer was Lupton
Hey. Of the wizard. Dr. Felkln says
that he is satisfied that the man was
never outside his native village In his
life.

"One evening some years ago," snid
a New OrleanB druggist, to the Times
Democrat, "I was standing behind the
counter, Just about where 1 am now,
when I saw a man slip In very quietly
at the side door and stop in the rear
of that tall case of fancy goods. I
walked over at once and asked what I
could do for him, and it was at least
half a minute before he replied. 'You
don't seem very keen for trade,' he said
at length, and he spoke In a curious,
gasping voice, like a nlan out of breath.
"I've been waiting here.' says he, 'for
a quarter of an hour.' Now, I was
positive that he had Just come In, but
it is always unwise to contradict a
customer, so I made no remark.
" 'I want you to put me up some qui
nine capsules,' he went on, 'and be
quick about it, for I have an engage
ment at 8:30 o'clock. I looked at my
watch and told him he had twenty
minutes to spare. It was then exactly
8:10. 'All right,' he said, and I went
for the quinine. I handed him the
package a few moments later, and as
he reached for It he upset a tall vase on
the counter and broke it all to pieces.
It was the clumsiest thing I ever saw,
and had any possible motive been ap
parent I would have sworn he did it on
purpose. Hut he cursed like a pirate,
and after some grumbling, paid the bill
which was $3. and went away, and I
never saw him again.
"Next morning I read In the paper
that a murder had been committed in a
house nearly half a mile from the store
at about 8 o'clock the previous evening.
I gave It no special thought, but some
thing like a month later 1 received a
visit from a lawyer, who told me that
he represented a certain man who was
under suspicion for this very murder,
and who expected daily to be placed
under arrest. 'My client is not guilty.'
he continued, 'and at the time of the
crime was nowhere near the house.
As nearly as he remembers he was In
this store making some trifling pur
chases. He recalls It, because he ac
cidentally broke a vase. Do you re
member the circumstance?' I did. In
stantly, and of a sudden the whole
thing became clear. You see, my at
tention had been called to the hour,
and the vase-breaking was evidently a
ruse to fix the visit In my mind. I
looked the lawyer in the eye. 'Your
client entered the store at 8:10,' I said,
'and I have reason to believe he was
running Just before he reached it."
That ended the conversation. The man
was never arrested, but soon after left
the city."

"Frances," Bald that little girl's mam
ma, who was entertaining callers in the
parlor, "you came down stairs so nois
ily that you could be heard all over
the bouse. You know how to do It
better than that. Now go back and
come down the stairs like a lady."
Frances retired, and after the lapse of
a few minutes re-entered the parlor.
"Did you hear me come down stairs
this time, mamma?"
"No, dear. I am glad you came down
quietly. Now don't lat me ever have
to tell you again not to come down
noisily, for I see that you can come
quietly if you will. Now tell these la
dles how you managed to come down
like a lady the second time, while the
first time you made so much noise."
"The last time I slid down the ban
isters," explained Frances. Harpers

WAIUUXUTOX, V. C.
(1). On the Field.
A pitrh-blnck niaht In a rocky valley
of Afghanistan; a few stars In the
heavy, black, moonless sky only In
tensifying the almost palpable dark
ness. A mile or two southward, where
the rocky valley swelled into rocky
heights, little flashes of light recur
ring at Intervals, followed by sharp lit
tle cracks, showed where the late skir
mish and retreat was fighting itself
out around about the camp.
Where one of the innumerable brok
en ridges that seamed the valley made
a darker wall across the darkness two
figures were dimly discernible (when
you knew where to look for them), the
one seml-recumbent. propped against
a bowlder, the other tall and straight
beside him,
"Clear out, Warrington please go,
sir," the Voice came faintly from the
recumbent figure. "You can get back
to camp and send 'em for me."
"Not likely, young 'mi." observed the
other. "What says the great H. K.:
When you're wounded and left on Af-
glinniRtnn plains,
And the women came out to cut up
what remains
Just"-
"Don't!" said the wounded man, and
ilmnsl succeeded in stopping a groan
be, ween his clenched teeth.
"Poor old Vicary," said Warrington,
l ending over him. "let me undo
your belt. . . . Now grab yourself
wilh both hands."
"Fellows In books," said the weak
voice drowsily, "never get hit In the
tummy. , , . Always head in a
bandage or arm In Bling.
Those Johnnies that write books
oiifjht to come out with us."
There was silence for a time; the
far-off flashes grew more rnre. The
wounded man shifted himself a little
and spoke again.
"You're a brick, Warrington!" ha
said.
"Slightly different from Piccadilly
and the Strand this eh, Vic?"
"I wish the mater could see us now,"
said Vicary; "she's going to bye-bye
just about now. She'd stick you pret
ty high up in her prayers if she knew."
"The next time you start talking
nonsense," said Warrington, "I shall
consider you delirious and past hope;
and I shall turn tall and make tracks
for camp."
A long silence.
"It's getting beastly cold," said Vi
cary, with a shiver; "I shall never pull
through to-night.
'Cheer up, lad, said Warrington,
and pulled at his mustache and glared
at the darkness; "only a few hours
till daybreak. . . . Pity you re six
foot four In your boots and solid in
proportion. I'm not equal to two miles
with you on my back, my dainty mid
get."
"Can't see how you got me this far.
. . Why don't you sheer off now
and get back and O, Ood! No! War
rington . . . You're not going?"
'Another word like that, my son,
and I leave you for Mr. and Mrs. Pa-
tban and all the little Pathans to play
with."
"All right all right, I won't. . . .
Let mo hold your boot I can hardly
see you. Oh, Warry, what a funk I
am; all the bit of pluck I had s run
out of the lean in my tunic and I
am beastly cold."
Warrington knelt beside him and
cursed beneath his breath, and felt his
head nnd hands. The former was very
cold and damp, the latter were very
wet and warm.
"I must let them know they're wan
ted, Vic!" he muttered.
The latter did not hear him.
"It'll be in to-morrow's despatches,"
he muttered: "'Missing; Lieutenant
Beverley Warrington and Second Lieu
tenant Vicary of the What's up,
Warry?"
His companion had touched his fore
head lightly with his lips risen to his
feet, and, with his arm raised above
his head, had emptied his revolver into
the silence of the night.
"They'll know there's a British offi
cer where that revolver Is," he said,
cheerily.
"Hut but, you fool you dear old
silly fool so will those brown devils!"
"Cun't help that!" said Warrington,
with a little laugh, "it's too chilly to
stop out late to-night." Then in a
lower tone, "For the sake of auld lang
syne, Vic, my boy."
He reloaded bis revolver. When the
echoes had rattled away into deeper
silence they heard the distance shots
suddenly recommence, and distant
shouts and howls came to them like
whivpers. From the invisible hills fac
ing them came din and confused scuf
fling and scraping sounds as of cats
scrambling down rocks. A moving
.. hue blur appeared somewhere in the
thick darkness, then another, then an
other; and a suggestion of low-toned
guttural conversation, reached War
rington's straining ears. He shifted
his revolver to his left hand and
gently drew his sword. Then from
over there where he knew the camp
lay six revolver shots in quick succes
sion. "That's Welby!" he said to himself.
Vicary's hand had been grasping the
heel of bis foot tightly. Now lie felt
the grip relax; and in a moment more
the wounded eubaltern slipped a little
with a slight tinkle of steel 00 rock
and groaned.

In another moment a douen howling
hlllmen were blazing away at random
toward the spot whence the groan
seemed to have come. They aimed
low and erratically, end Warrington
held his Are for a few Interminable
seconds.
Then they closed In, and one stum
bled over Vicary's outstretched legs
before they could realize that two Brit
ish officers were within a yard of
them. Warrington felt the man grab
him as he fell, and fired with the bar
rel of his revolver touching bare skin.
After that he fired and slashed very
much at random, and the darkness
around him shrieked and howled and
spat fire, and long, graceful knives
suggested themselves to the Imagin
ation of the man who had seen them at
work before. . . . Kor ten long
minutes Warrington was busy won
dering all the time what Vicary was
doing down there between his legs, nnd
how he liked it, and which of them
would die fit st.
Then suddenly In a lull he heard
faintly a sound that sent the blood to
his head with a rush the scraping of
many boots over rocks hundreds of
yards away, and the dim echo of a
word of command. He shouted and
fired his last cartridge above his head
that they might see the flash, and flung
the empty weapon at a white eyeball
that was too near to be pleasant, and
cut and pointed and slashed away with
renewed vigor. Down the valley and
over the rocks came a hoarse, breath
less cheer and pith helmets gleamed
faintly in the near distance. He an
swered the cheer with a croak and
went on carving and hacking as though
his foes still confronted him. Hut they
did not wait to meet his friends. They
left. All but five, to whom even Brit
ish troops were a matter of indifference
now, as they stayed behind, huddled
into the grim semi-circle around Lieu
tenant Warrington and Second Lieu
tenant Vicnry. When his men 'came
np to him they found him with Vicary
in his arms leaning against the wall
of rock, "looking, as Private Billl
niore said, "as though 'e'd 'ad a nasty
messy accident with reu paint."
Vicary opened his eyes as he entered
the camp feet foremost.
"Warrington, V. C" he said, and
tried to cheer. But the others did it
for him.
(2). At Home.
An afternoon in early November, a
cosey room, bright Are. big armchairs,
piano, pipes, photographs and decan
ters; a male figure extended to enor
mous length in one armchair, with
feet stretched out on the hearthrug;
another male figure with back toward
the room, gazing out of window at the
unceasing rain. Thick clouds of to
bacco smoke and silence.
"Of all the brutal, filthy, miserable
depressing days!" said the man at the
window, suddenly.
"Weather seems to worry you. old
man." said the man by the fire, settling
down a little deeper Into the depths
of his armchair. "Third time in twen
ty minutes you've got up to look at it
and talk about It."
"Sorry, Vic," said the other, and
turning, he came slowly toward the
fire. "I must be lively company Jo
day; but this weather seems to upset
one altogether.'
"Not me," said Vicary, blowing a
cloud. "I'm pretty comfy, thanks. I
prefer rain in St. Jame's to straight
In Chukundra."
The other did not answer, but stood
nervously opening and shutting his
hands over the cheerful blaze.
"By George!" said Vicary, medita
tively. "It seems almost like a dream
now all but the souvenirs we carry
eh. Warry?"
Warrington's hand went up to the
livid band that ran across forehead,
nose and cheek, and almost bisected
his strong face.
"One comfort," Vicary went on,
"mine don't show. Not but what that
has Its drawbacks," he added, with a
chuckle, "no one seems to believe they
touched me think I got my sick leave
on the bounce. And I can't continual
ly strip to prove It."
Still his senior was silent. Vicary
edged round a little to look at his face.
Then his eyes opened and his voice
changed.
"Warrington" he said, "d'you re
member that very first dust up we had
the second day out from Kir Wallah?"
Warrington nodded.
