It w as very dark, and rain w as still fall ing, but a s tlie liglit stream e d out into the gloom I faneii’d th a t I caught sight af a dusky [,irm gliding away. Tlie thougiH of Ilentlrilia flashed into my min.l: c ould she ho skulking about outsiiie tliereV Now I had said nothing Sti’lla was a ttaelied to this strange p e r son, and I did not wish to shake lier con- lidence in her unless it w;is absolutely necessary. For ,a m inute or tw o I stood hesit.ating, then, reflecting th.at, if i t was H endrika out there, tliere she should stop, I went in and p u t up tlie stout wooden bar th a t w;is used to secure the door. For the last few n ights old Indaba- zimhi h a d made a habit of sleeping in the covered passage, w h ich w.as tho only other pos.sible w.ay of access. As I came to i)ed I had stepped over him rolled up In his blanket, and to all appe.arance fast asleep. So, it being e v ident th a t I had notliing to fear, I prom p tly dism iss ed tlie m a tter from m y m ind, w hich, as m a y be imagined, w as indeed fully oc cupied w ith other m a tters. I got into bed, and for aw h ile lay awake tliinkiiig of the great liappiness in sbof- for me, and of the providential course of events th a t had brought it w ithin my reach- A few ■weeks since anil I was wandering in the desert a dying m an, bearing a dying child, a n d w ith .searcely a possession left in the ivorld e x cept a store of buried ivory th a t I n ever e.xpeeted to st e again. A n d now I tv,as about to wed one of the sweetest and loveliest women in the whole w orld— a woman whom I loved m ore than I could have thought possililc, a n d w h o loved me back .again. Also, as though th a t re not got acquire w ith h e r const quite suiBciently lari bough th a t li, I w as to enough, I was lerable possessioi follow any plan of life w e found a gree able. iis I lay a n d reflected on a ll this I grew afraid of my good fortune. Old Indaba-zim b rs melancholy prophesies came into my m ind. H itherto ho had alw ays prophesie 1 truly. W h a t if these sliould bo true also? I turned cold as I thought of it, a n d prayed to the pow er above to pre.serve u s b oth to live and love togetlier. Never was prayer m ore need ed. W hile its w o rds were still u p o n m y lips I dropped .asleep a n d dream ed a m o st dreadful d ream. I dream ed th a t S tella a n d I were stand- th e bed, ig from me. tho darkness on the other side of the h u t I heard sounds o f furious struggling. Luckily I kept m y head. Ju s t by me w.as a chair on wliich were m a tches and a rush taper. I s truck a m a tch a n d lield it to tlie taper. Now in the glowing light I could see tw o form s rolling one over the other on the floor, a n d from be tween them came the flash of steel. The fat melted and the liglit bu r n t up. I t jvas Indaba-zim bi and the woman H en drika who w ere struggling, and, w h a t w as more, the w om a n w as getting the better of the m a n , sti’ong as b e was. I rushed tow a rd them . Now she w as up permost, now she had wrenched lierself from his fierce grip, a n d now the great knife she had in her hand flashed up. B u t I was b ehind her, a n d , getting m y hands beneath her a rm s, jerked w ith all m y strength. She fell backw ards, and, in her effort to save herself, m ost for tunately dropped the knife. Then we flung ourselves u p o n her. Heavens! the strength of tliat she devil! Nobody who has n o t o.xperienced it could believe it. She fought and scratched and bit, and a t one tim e nearly mastered the tw o of lence straight up a t the i of the liut. I never saw such a jum p , and could not conceive w h a t she m e a n t to do. In tlie roof were tlic peculiar holes whicli I have described. They were designed to admit light, and cov ered w ith o v e rhanging eaves. She .sprung straiglit and true like a monkey, and, catching tho edge of th e hole w ith her hands strove to draw herself through it. B u t h e re her strength, exhausted w ith the long struggle, failed her. For a mo ment slie swung, then dropped to the ground a n d fell senseless. “On!” gasped Indaba-zimbi. “Let us tie the devil up before sho comes to life again.” I thought this a good counsel, so tve took a r ein th a t lay in the corner of the room, a n d lashed her hands a n d feet in such a fashion th a t even slie could scarcely escape. Then w e carried her into tho passage, a n d Indaba-zimbi sat over h e r, tlie knife in his h a n d , for I did not wisli to raise an alarm a t thi of the night. “ Do y ou know how I c a u g h t h e r, Macu- mazaliii?” he said. “ F o r several niglits I h.ave slept h e re w ith one eye open, for I tliouglit she had m ade a plan. To night I kept -svido atvake, tliougli I pre tended to bo asleep. A n hour after you got into tlie blankets the m oon rose, a n d I saw a beam of light come into the h u t through the hi ■ in the roof. Presently I saw the beam of light vanish. A t first I tliought th a t a c loud w as passmg the moon, b u t I listened and hea noise as though some one was squei liimself through a narrow -jilace. ently he was through and lianging by his hands. Then the light came in again, and in the m iddle of it I saw the babyan- frau sw inging from the roof, a n d about to drop into the liut. ,She c lung by b oth hands, a n d iu her m o u th was a great knife, filio drojiped, and I ran forw a rd to seize her as she dropped, a n d gripped her round th e middle. B u t she heard m e come, a n d , seizing tlic knife, struck a t me in the dark and mi.ssed me. Then we struggled, and you know the rest. You wore very nearly dead to-niglit, M acumazahn.” “ V ery nearly, indeed,’’ I answered, still p a n ting and arranging tho rags of m y night dre.ss around me as host m ight. Then tlie memory of m y lion dream flashed into m y mind. Donbtli gan at 10 o’clock, but long before that hour all the iiatives ' present^! Ill th e n a ou the place came u p lops, singiii-g as thev came, to he It a t the tveililing of the ‘-Btar.'’ It w as a pretty sight to see them , the m en dressed in all their lineiy, and carrying shields and sticks in their hands, and the women a n d children hearing green , branches of trees, ferns a n d fl<)wer.s. A t length, about half-past nine, Stella rose, pressed iny baud, a n d left me to m y re- flections. A t a few minutes to ten she reajipeared agni’i w ith her father, dressed in a w h ite veil, a w reath of orange flowers on her darlc c u rling liair, a bouquet o f o range flowers in her hand. To m e she seemed like a dream of loveli- ; ness. W ith her came little Tota in a ‘ high state of glee and excitem e nt. Slie Stella's o nly bridesmaid.
