From th a t day to this, h owever, I have a lw ays avoided baboons, feeling m o re a fraid of them than any beast t h a t lives. The p a th w as c lear, and we rushed for w ard up the w ater-course. B u t first w e picked up little Tota. The child was not in a swoon, as I had thought, b u t par alyzed by terror, so th a t she could scarce ly speak. Otherwise she was unhurt, though it took her m a n y a week to re cover h e r n erve. H ad she been older, and liad she not remembered H endrika, I doubt if she w ould have recovered it. She knew me again, a n d flung lier little arm s about luy neck, clinging to me so closely th a t I did not dare to give her to any one else to carry lest I should add to her terrors. So I w ent on w ith her in m y arms. The fears tliat pierced my heart m a y well be imagined. Should I find Stella alive or deadV Slionld I find her a t all? 'Well, we should soon know now. W e stum b led on up the stony wa ter-course; notw ithstanding the w eight of Tota, I led the way, for suspense lent wee we»e through, a n d me wmgs. i.'iow w wvs*e uiroug n , a n u an e-xtraordinary scene lay before us. W e were iti a great n a tural am p h ithea tre, only it was three tim es the size of any ampliitheatro ever shaped by m an, and the walls were form ed of precipitous cliffs, rtinging from one to tw o hundred feet in heiglit. For the rest, the space 1 w as level, studded tv \ ’ es, brilliant w ith fiowt p.ark-like ti and having g a stream running through of i t tha at, t , .as I a fterw r « felled of the open spact ourselves the c e n ter o f i t th .as I a fte a rds dis- 'ered, welled up from the ground at ■rywhere, for Tota w.as be able to tell us wli covered, welled up from the groui the head of th We spread searching out in a line, • To ta w.as too to be able to te ll us w here Ha w.as hidden aw.ay. For nearly f a n hour we searclied and searched, scanning the walls of rock for a n y pos sible opening to a cave. In vain—we could find none. I a pplied to old Indaba- zimbi, but his foresight was a t fault here. All he c ould say w as th a t this was the place, a n d th a t the “ S tar” was h idden somewhere in a cave, b u t where the cave was he could not tell. A t last wo camo to tlie top of the am p h itheatre. Tliere before us w.as .a w all o f rock, of w h ich the lower parts were here and there clothed in gr.asses, lichens a n d creepers. I walked along it, calling a t tlie top of my voice. Presently my licart stood still, for I thought I heard a f a int answer. I drew netirer to the place from w hich tlie sound seemed to come, a n d again called. Yes, there was an answer iii my wife's voice. I t seemed t tup to it and searched among the creepers, but still c ould find no opening. “ Move the stone,” cried Stella’s voice, “ the cave is s h u t w ith a stone.” I took a spear a n d i>rodded a t the cliff whence the sound came. Suddenly the spear sank in througli a m.ass of liclien. I sw ept tlie lichen aside, revealing a bowlder that had been rolled into the inoulli of a n opening in the rock, which it fitted so accurately that, covered a s i t was by the overlianging lichen, it m ight well have escaped tlie keenest eye. W e dragged tlie bowlder out; it w as tw o men's work to do it. Beyond w as a narrow , w a ter w orn p s s a g e , wliich I followed w ith a beating heart. Pres ently the passtige opened into a small cave, shaped like a pickle bottle, and coming to a neck a t the top end. W e passed through and found ourselves in a second, much larger cave, th a t I a t once recognized as the one of w h ich Indaba- ziiiibi Imd sliown me a vision in the water. L ight reached it from above— how I know not—and by it I could see a form half sitting, half lying on some skins a t the top end of the cave. I rushed to it. It was Stella! Stella bound w ith strips of Iiide, bruised, torn, but still Stella, and alive. Site saw me, she g a ve one c ry, then as I c.aught h e r in m y arm s she f ainted. It was liappy indeed tliat she did not f a int before, for h a d it not been for the sound of her voice I do not believe we should ever have found th.at cunningly hidden cave, unless, indeed, Indaba-zimbi’sm a g - ic (on which be blessings) had come to our assistance. W e bore her to the open a ir, laid her beneath the shade of a tree, a n d cut the bonds loose from her ankles. As we w ent I glanced a t the cave. I t was ex it in the visit le food from it with us. I :re w ere the wooden vessels, one of them still half full of the w ater w hich I had seen the baboon bring. I felt awed as I looked, and m.arveled a t the pow er wielded by a savage who could not even r-ead and Now I could see Stella clearly. H er face was scratched, a n d haggard w ith fear a n d weeping. H e r c lothes w ere al most torn off h e r, a n d her beautiful hair was loose and tangled. I sent for tvater, and we sprinkled h e r face. Then I forced a little of the brandy which we-distilled from peaches a t the kraals betw een her lips, a n d she opened her eyes, a n d tlirow- ing her arm s about me c lung to m e as little Tota had done, sobbing, “ T hank God! thank God!\ A fter a while she grew q u ie ter,; made her a n d Tota e a t a little food the store th a t we fiad brought w ith too ate .and w as thankful, for w ith the exception of tlie mealie cobs I had tasted nothing for n e arly four-and-tw entyhours. Then she w ashed h e r face a n d hands, and tidied h e r rags of dress a s well a s she was able. As she did so, by degrees I drew her story from her. It seemed th a t on the previous after noon, being w earied w ith packing, she w ent o u t to visit iier father’s grave, tak ing Tota w ith her, and w as followed there by th e tw o dogs. She wished to lay some flowers on the grave and take farew e ll o f the dust it covered, f o r as wo had expected to trek early on the m orrow she d id not know if she would find a later opportunity. They passed up the garden, and, gathering some flowers from the orange trees and else w here, w e n t o n to the little graveyard. H ere she laid them on the grave as we had found them , a n d then sitting down, fell into a deep a n d sad reverie, such as tlie occasion would naturally induce. W hile she sat thus, Tota, who w as a lively child and active as a kitten, strayed away w ithout Stella observing it. AVith her w e r t the dogs, who had also grow n tired of inaction; a w hile passed, and suddenly she heard the dogs h a rking furiously a b o u t 150 yards away. Then she heard Tota scream , and the dogs also yelling vvith fear and pain. She rose a n d r a n as sw iftly a s she could tow a rds the spot whence the sound came. Presently she was there. Before her in the glade, holding the scream ing T o ta in her a rm s, was a figure in whicli, notw ithstanding the rough disguise of baboon skins and coloring m a tter, she had no difficulty in recogniz ing H endrika, and all about her were num b e rs of baboons, rolling over and over in tw o h ideous heaps, of w hich the centers w ere the tw o unfortunate dogs now in [irocess of being rent to frag- Tota a n d thost The woman ,e brutPh'r” i h e ard her :iiid looki th a t site ' oked up. be liei'self chispetl by Hendrika. She struggled liereely. but it was of no use— the babyan-frau had tlie strength of ten. She lifted her and Tota as tliougli they were nothing, and ran off witli tliein, following the bed of tlie .stream in order to avoid leaving a spoor. Only the ba boons who came with her. minus the one the dogs had killed, would not t.ake to the w ater, but kept pace witli them on the bank. Stella said tliat the night which fol lowed was more like a hideous night m are than a reality. She was n ever aWe to tell me all th a t occurred in it. Slie !iad a vtigue recollection of being liorne over rocksand a longkioofs.w h ilearound lier echoed the horrible g runts a n d clicks of the baboons. ' She spoke to H endrika in Englisb aiul Kaffir, im p loring her to let them go; but tlie woman, if I may call her so. seemed in her madness to have entirely forgotten the W hen Stella spoke she woi and stroke h e r liair. but she did not seem to understand wlmt it w as she said. On the other hand, she could and di< the baboons, tli implicitly. Moreover, she would low tliem to touch cither Stelia or tlie child in her arms. Once one of them tried to do so, a n d .slie .seizetl a dead stick a n d struck it so h e avily o n tlie heat th a t it fell senseless. Tlirice Stella madt s g iant strength wai had to set them clown. B u t on each oc casion she ‘ tongues. d kiss lier Id an d d id talk t< med to oliey ho her frtim an attem p t to escape, for sometim es ei Hendrik.a’s g ia n t streng th w aned a n di liem clown. B u t < caught them , a n __ 0se struggles tliat Stella’s clotlu^s were A t length b efore daylight tliey readied tlie cliff, and w ith the first break of light the ascent lieg.an. H e n d rika dragged them up the first stages, but when they camo to the precipitous place slie tied the strip.s of hide, of w hich she had a supply wound round her waist, benetitli Stella’s arms. Steep as tiie place was the b.aboons ascended it easily enough, springing from a knob of rock to the tru n k of the tree that grew on the edge of the crevasse. H endrika followed them , holding the end of the hide rein in hc>r teeth, one o f the baboons Iinnging down from the tree to a ssist her ascent. I t w as wliUe she w as ascending th a t Stella botliought lier of letting fall her hand k erchief in the f a in t liope that some searcher m ight see it. By this tim e H e n d rika w as on a tree, and grunting out o rders to tlie baboons w h ich c lustered about S tella below. Sud denly these .seized her and little Tc>ta, who wa.s in her a rm s, a n d lifted h e r fi the g round. Then Hendrik.a above, ; ed by other baboons, p u t o u t a ll liergi strength and iiulled the two of them up the rock. Twice Stella sw u n g heavily agaiiLst the cliff. Aflcr the second blow slie fedt hcT senses going, and was eon- suiued w ith terror lest she should drop Tota. But Stic m a naged to c ling to lier, and together tliey reached the cliff. “ From that tim e,” Stella w ent on, “ I remember no more till I woke to find mysejf in a gloomy cave resting on a bed of skins. Jly legs w ere hound, a n d H en drika sat iK'ar m e w a tching me, w hile round the edge o f tlie cave peered the heads of those horrible baboons. Tota was still in m y a rras, a n d lialf dead from terror; her m oans w ere pitiful to h ear. I spoke to H endrika, imploring lier to re lease u s; but either she h a d lost a ll under standing of h u m a n speech, or she pre tended to have done so. .Vll she would do w as to caress nio, and even kiss my liands a n d dress w ith e.vtravagant signs of affection. As she did so, Tola shrunk away closer to mo. This H eiulrika saiv and glared so stivagelv a t the child th a t I feared lest she was going to kill her. I diveiited her attcmlion liy m a k ing signs that I wanted water, ami this she gave me in a wooden bowl. .Vs you saw, the cave w as e vidently Ilendrik.a’s dw elling place._ Tliere are' stores of fruit in it and some strips of dried tlesli. She gave me some of the fruit and Tota a little, and I made Tota eat some. You can never know w h a t I w ent through, Allan. I saw now th a t H e n d rika was quite m a d , and but little i-cmoved from the brutes to whieii she is akin, a n d over wliich slie lias such unholy power. Tlie only trace of hum a n ity left about her keep m e away from you, and to carry out tills idea .she w as capable of tlie ex ercise of every a rtifice a n d cunning. In that way she w as ‘ane enough, but in every' otlier w.ay .slie was mad. Jlore- over, she had not forgotten her horrible jealousy. A lready I saw her glaring at Tota, a n d I knew th a t tlie cliild's m u r der w as o nly a m a tter of time. Proba bly w ithin a few hours .she would he killed before my eyes. Of escape, even if I had tlie streugtii, there w as abso lutely no chance, and little enough of our ever being found. No, we should be kept there giuirdcd by a uiad thing, half ape, half woman, till we perished miserably. Then I thought of ymi. dear, and o f all that you must be siiffering, and my heart nearly broke. I could only pray to God th a t I m ight e ither be rescued or die swiftly. “A s I prayed, I dropped into a kind of doze from utter weariness, and tlieii I had the strangest dream. I dreamed w h en at sunrise on the following m o rn ing I saw a veil of miasm a tic m ist liang- ing over tlie surface of tlie ground, I changed m y opinion. However, neither Stella nor Tota seemed th e worse, so as soon a s was p racticable w e started liome- w ards. I had already on tlie previous day sent some of the m e n back to the kraals to fetcii a ladder, and w hen we reached tlie cliff wo found them w aiting for us beiieatli. W ith the help of the ladder the descent w as easy. Stella sim ply got qiit of lier rough litter a t th of th e cliff, f r we found it necessary to carry her, climbed dow n th e ladder, a nd got into i t a g ain a t tlie bottom. W ell, we reached the kraals safel; enough, seeing nothing more of H en drika, a n d , w ere this a story, doubtless I should end it here w ith—“ a n d lived happy ever after.” But alasi it is not so. How am I to w rite it? My dearest wife’s v ital energv seemed completely to fail lier now th a t th e dan ger w as past, a n d w ithin tw elve hours of o u r r e tu r n I saw tliat her state was such a s to necessitate th e abandonm e n t of a n y idea of leaving Babyan K raals a t present. The bodily exertion, the an guish of mind, and the terror th a t she had endured during th a t dreadful night, combined w ith lier delicate state of healtii, had c ompletely broken her down. To m ake m a tters worse also, she was taken w itli a n a ttack of fever, c o n tracted no doubt in tlie unliealtliy atm osphere of th a t accursed valley. In tim e she shook the fever off, b u t it left her dreadfully weak, a n d quite unfit to face the trial before her. fish to tefl it, i t is too i rill sajt: I believe that, ii drew near to perfection w hile yet living on the e a rth, Stella Q u aterm ain did so. The fatal hour drew on. My boy H arry was born, a n d his m o ther lived to kiss a n d bless him. Then she sank. W e ;‘ b ,“ ding his w h ite lock, and spoke to me in ' Kaffil-, telling me not to be frightened, for you would .soon be w ith me, and that j m eanwhile I m u st hum o r H endrika, p rt tending to be pleased to have her nea me. Tlie dream was so vivid th a t actuallj* seemed to see a n d hear him, a I see a n d hear him now .” H ere I looked up and glanced Indaba-zimbi, wlio was sitting near. it was not till afterw a rds th a t I told Htella of how her vision was brought “ A t any rate,” she w ent on, “ when I awoke I determined to a c t on my dream. I took Hendrik.a's hand and pressed it. She actually laughed in a wild kin I of way w ith happine.ss, a n d laid her h ’ad upon my knee. Tlieii I m ade signs t l a t I w anted food, and she threw woiid on the fire, w hich I forgot to tell you was burning in the cave, a n d began to make the broth th a t she used to cook not seem to have A t any rate the broth was n o t bad, though neitlier Tota nor I could drink much of it. Fright and weariness had taken away our a ppetites. “ .After the meal was done—and I pro longed it a.s m uch as possible—I .saw th a t H endrika was beginning to get jealous of Tota again. She glared at her a n d then a t the big knife wliich was tied round lier own body. I knew tlie knife again; it w as the one w itli which she had tried to m u rder you, dear. At last she w ent so f a r as to d raw the knife. ‘11 suddenly MY OLD UMBRELLA. ihero you stand very well, a n d she did n forgotten all about it. parti lyzed w ith fear, tliei lemhta-ed th a t wlien she servant, and used to get out of tem per aiid sulk, I could alw ays e.alm her by singing to her.

Then, dear, I heard tlie boom of your elephant gun, a n d I think it was the sw eetest sound th a t ever came to my ears. H e n d rika heard it, too. Hlie sprang up, stood for a m om ent, then, to my h o rror, swept Tota, into lier a n u s and rushed down the cave. Of eouiYe, I could not s tir to follow her, for my feel w ere tied. N ext instant I iieard the stmnd of a rock being mo veil, a n d pres ently the lessening of the light in tlie e.ave told me th a t I w as s h u t in. Now the sound even of the eli'phaiit gun only reached me very faintly, ainl presently I could hear nothing more, straining my ears a s I would. “At last I lieard a faint slioiUing tliat re.aclied m e througli the wall of rock.

Yes, yes—1 know now. I became a brute a g ain and dragged her to the brutes, a n d now onee more I ;im a woman, and she is dead, and I liilled her—hecauso I loved her so.

But n e x t m o rning it was gone, and I found th a t the natives, hearing of the event, had taken the corpse and throw n it to the v u ltures w ith e very mark of liate. Such, then, was the cud of Hendrika. A week a fter H e n d rika's death I left B.ibyan Kraals. The place w as hateful to me now; it was a haunted place. 1 sent for old Indaba-zim bi and told liiin that I was •going. H e a nswered th a t it wa.s well. “ Tlie place ha.s served youi^ tu r n ,” lie said; “ liere y o u have won that joy which it was fated you sliould win, and have .suffered those things that it was fated you should suffer. I’es, and though you know it not now, the joy and the suffering, like the sunshine and the storm , a re the same thing, and will rest a t last in the Same heaven, the heaven from which they came. Now I asked liira if he was coming with me. ‘■No,’’ be answered, “ o u r paths lie apart liencefortli, Macumazahii. We m et together for certain ends. Those ends are fulfilled. Now each one goes his own w.ay. You have still many year-s before you, Macumzahn m> years are few. W hen we shake hands here it will be for the last time. Perhaps we may meet again, but it wiU not be in this world. Henceforth we h ave e^cli of us a friend the less.” “ Heavy words,” I said. “True words,” he answered. Well, I have little heart to w rite of the rest of it. I went, leaving Indaba-zimbi in c h arge of the p lace, a n d m a k ing him a present of such cattle and goods as I did not want. Tota, I of course took w ith me. For tunately by this tim e she had alm o st r e covered the shock to her nerves.
