lala went away to the garden chnnt
tig and Mary sat in the doorway won-
dering If it was true that she had en-
tered into tho thoughts of others
Jt wns true she often thought of Cnp
ta < n Blaine and Dalston but not kindly
and she smiled to think that If they
viewed her In tho light she regnrded
them their thoughts of her could not be
agreeable Mie had perhaps made u dis-
tinction in favor of Captain Blaiue nnd
her resentment towards him was dying
out
It is not likely she told herself
I will see either of them ngnin after the
diemssiil 1 gave them even if I cared tn
see them
I pon this point she was wrong If > ho
did not care to see Captain Dnlston ho
longed to see her und on the pretext of
patrolmg the lroutier he soon called at
Ihe house
She came to the door and put the big
man nt Ins ense by the quiet lourtesy of
her mauner tor ho had feared a repulse
I was passing and ventured to call to
see if ull was safe After your renent
experience Miss Hath he continued
earnestly you should not remain here
your friends nre auxioiii about you
Inm quite safe if only my friends
will leave me in peace You mu t know
that Mrayo has given out that this house
is sacred and my father is content to let
me stav on I
Vou are severe on your friends
said Dalston gloomily but with cause j
I sadlv admit Let mo tell you he1
continued earnestly now how terribly 1
1 have sullered for haviiifr driven you
into that risk tho thoimht of st has kept
me sleeples It you had beeu hit I would
have shot tho man who gave the wound j
even if it had been myself Hounded
with a lowenriz of his black brow and a
snap of In heavy jnwa that poke more
than words of Ins reolve
Mary shuddered slightly then made a
movement with her hand Let It
pnS she said you did your duty and
I did mine What became of the chief
He scuttled away like a fox and wo
burnt his huts to light him on his way
If I were a solder said Mary with
an ancry tluh on her cheeks I would
scorn to burn the houses of tho enemy
and chase the women and children iuto
the rocks
It is war Mij < Hath and you know
all is fair in love and war
No sir wanton cruelty is not fair in I
wnr neither I imuginu would treachery
j be in lovo I
He lliuehed strangely under her direct j i
gaze then with a forced smile and a
voice ho tried to soften said i
I am afraid vou ara a rebel Miss i i
Hath
So I am she replied with achauce
of maimer I wonder you do not re-
port me to your colonel I am sure he
would place me under arrest
ily th way talking of arrest do
yon know that Howe the man whom you
and Mr Kath befriended is under ar
i rest
What Xot for protecting me ncainst
you she s > nd quickly not judging her
words h Im sorry she said
as she noted how he shrunk
So he said with tin effort not
for that Jood heavens Mar Miss
Until you must not tlnuk so meanly of
me 1 was mad then and hoped you
had forgiven nnu forgotten So he
wns arrested on supicion of an attempt
to murder dipt Ulaine
Murdor Captain Maine gasped
MaryYes
Yes Captain lllnine was struck
down the night after you last saw him
nnd it is supposed that this man Howo
was the assassin
How horrible And I wns so oruol
to In in how wicked you men are
Ibilstnii winced again nnd plucked
fiercely at his moustache
And where is Captain Ulaine now
Is he recovering
Xo ono knows where he ie Miss
Hath It is supposed he is a prisoner
among the Zulus if that is he be still
alive he added darkly
Uulotou did not stav much longer ho
had as Usual blundered nnd had to
retire after having created n lively sym-
pathy for the man he detested
Curso the fellow ho muttered
gloomily with uu oath why did he
want to cross my path
Mary did not speedily recover from the
shock which Dalstons sudden revelation
had caused her And when she did he
remembered how Ccptiiin Ultimo tind
looked nt her with his face close to hers
when he held tho lighted mutch in his
hollowed hnnd and she felt his parting
kis unon her hand
1 he tears came into her eye3 at tho
thought nnd she reproached herself for I
her harshness to him then with aglow
of resolution she spraug up and went in
search of lala I
lnla the snid f did a servico
for you I want one of you
Speak mistress slid Iala
straightening herself nnd lo I will
I do it i
You know Capt lllnine I
Ho villi the sun in his eyes Is It as I
1 I said will the mistress seek him ill
I marriage And sho will have mo go as
mediator
Mary smiled nt Pnlas simplicity nnd
longer anticipation No child thu
j task 1 would have you do is more dnn
serous The voting man is a prisoner
you must llnd him
lala showed no emotion at this nhrupt
demand upon her to enter unon a search
without a given point of tho compass to
her i guide her
How does tho mistress know ho is
continued alive she asked with cruel direotuess
The Zulus spare uot If he was taken
captive he is now lyiug on the veldt 1
I face upwards 1
Mary shuddered No she mur
I mured Ii is alive nnd you must Hud
I him Surolv you would not refuse me iu
I this

but if I llud him nnd he lives what I

I Yes what then What could a help

I Tell him tell him his friends will
take steps to save li nn And Iala see
Siruyo and ask him to spare this man
I will go But heur me I cnuiint
gpv upou my people If he Is alive and 1
from tho warmth of love from without llnd where he is hidden mistress must
iike the glow of the sun j not set the white soldiers upon tho
1 riily Pain love makes a stiger of kraal
you Tell me how it does cn ne Trust me Iala you and I will Hnd
I krnn not mistress Tell me whnt i means to get him away
the llower is like It j There is one thing I cannot under
lutvou cannot see it stand If rautress has not set her heart
upon this man why should she trouble
about him He is a soldier aud is pre-
pared to die then let him die
Oh Pnla you are cruel lie must
not die He shall not I feel that I
must see him and cannot tell you why I
would
Ah said tho girl shaking her
head that is lovo > Tow I nm cou
tent the white girl saved my chief so 1
bwenr I will save her chief
She rolled up her sleeping mat took
an assegai to net as a stick and vveapnu

What Capt Dalston had said was
true Howe was under arrest v-
An inquiry had beeu held into the dis-
appearance of Capt Blaine and sus-
picions of foul play were aroused even
before the return ot Copt Dalston
Howe and Busuto Dick from the scene of
the bivouac
Tne missing officers horse had been
caught au attention was at once drawn
to the fact that the rein had not been
used as a bridle It was pluiu that the
horse could not have been mounted for
the rider would havo been helpless to
guide it
The colonel resolved to hold a court of
JS
inquiry ou the following day and on
their arrival in oamp Capt Dnlston
w Uli Kowo and Dick were direutel to at-
tend
On the following afternoon proceed-
ings opened In a largo mtjs tent the
plain woo len table on trsssles forming a
bench which divided the court from the
witnesses Capt Dnlston found a seat
on a camp stool where ha sat with folded
arm nnd an unmoved expression Rowe
and Dick stood
The Hisuto was tho first to ho exam-
ined giving his evidence in his native
tongue with sonorous accent and a wealth
of gesture waiting with hand uplifted
while his replies were interpreted
The court was composed of Command-
ant DArey Col Huker and tho colonel
Yon asked the colonel for leave to-
go back to the nights bivouac What
reason had you for going back
I went back for sooor When a
hunter goes after a wounded beast he
goos straight to that place where he last
saw it
True but Capt Blaine was
pect to Hud
Blood spoor said Dick in his deep
voice and with a tierco roll of his eyes
What Did you think Capt Blame
had been wouuded Ifsd by whom
The ollicers of the court leant forward
Their suspicions of foul play were evi-
dently to receive conhrmation
Capt Dalston Hashed his black eyes o
moment upon the witness then shifted
his glauce to Howe who looked unmis-
takably moved
Tho liusuto lifted his urra Tho
night was cold he began and my
blanket had a hole in it a large hole
Yes yf3 said the examiner
irritably never mind your blanket and
tho hole Come to the point
Dick bad no intention of coming to
the point He had something to tell
and he meant to ttll it in his own way
That night was cold he continued
very cold and the wind stole liko a
thief through the holes iu the blanket
which Is an old blanket and might be
replaced by a better oue Men got un
and stumped their feet Borne walked
about until it wns far into the night
Then for n time there was a sileuoe and
in that silence I heard the voice of the
lost spirit calling aloud even the spirit
that inhabits the body of the night lo-
cust I drew my blunkets over my
head and was afraid Someone was to
die
What nonsense is this
Let him go on sir snid the inter-
preter This roan is no fool tfomeono
was to dio who was it
Dick shook his baud above his head
I listened Somo ono rose up It wns
Captain Blaine he talked a little then
went away and byandby the sentry
< nine back 1 listened for well I know
thin now tho spirit had called him out
there into the darkness Presently an-
other urose softlv and like a suake he
stole nway Mv ear was to tho ground
now and I heard one exclaim in affright
such a noise as a man makes when he
is surprised by some terrible thiug I
knew the spirit verniied him then I
heard a blow und I again covered my
head That ij all
So you believe that Captain Blaino
was knocked down who by Who did
it a locust or tho spirit asked the ex-
aminer angrily
Dick looked grave Ho did not like any-
one to mnke light of serious matters and
would pivo no more answers
Howe was now questioned but ho had
not much light to throw upon the mat-
ter All he couldtell was that they had
actually found trnoes of blood and signs
which led to the suppojitiou that the
missing officer had been captured
It is my opinion said Howo thnt
Capt Blame was knocked on the head
bv some prowling Zulu nnd that he is
now alive
There is some reason in that viow
ovserved oue of the court
It does not account for the pistol
shot however nor tho loosening of
Capt Blaines horse interpoeed the
Colonel Do you think the Zulu car
ried out the whole plan
Wal it would be like tho cussed sav
age to play such a trick
You forget interposed the Colonel
grimly that the Zulu even if he had
been cunning enough would not have
been able to seleol Capt Blaines horse
from the troop j
I cannot understand why the horse I
was driven away or why tho pistol was I
Ured remarked au officer
If you will allow me a word said I
Dalston calmly I may account for that
mysterious circumstance Tho assassin
did not want nny search made He no 1
cordingly 1 imagine turned the 1
1 adrift to give color to the idea that
Blaine aad purposely ridden away and he j
Ii red the shot to cause an alarm which j
would lead to an early march from tho
spot
Yes hat is an explanation which
fits the scheming of nu accomplished ras-
cal but not of a Zulu Possibiy the man
may have thought that Blaiues absence
would have been attributed to his fear of
an attack
Exactly replied Dalston He
calculated upon our thinking that Blaine
hud bolted under fear
If that view is to bo accented said
DArey warmly the man who struck
tne blow could havo known nothing of i
Capt Blaine He is not a man to ruu j
Yet it does not bring us uny nearer I-
to au explantiou of the affair Captain I
Blaine I believe was a very popular J
officer among all ranks and I cannot
conceive why this treacherous attack
should have beeu made upon liiin by I
one of his comrades j
Tho thing is monstrous said Com
mnnder DArey hotly Blame had
not a single enemy My belief is that a
Zulu planned the wholo nffair watched
us approach marked Blaiue out you
know he was a uoticnble man on his bay
and tracked him down after creopiuu
among us
In that case said Dalston he
would have killed Captain Blaiue and
escaped without running the perfectly
seuseless risk he did in getting the horse
uway
The examiners were puzzled Turn
which wav they liked they could And no
clue to the mystery
lou see too said DArey sup-
posing one ot our tneu had been dastard
enough to do this deed he would not
have left his work unUnished whereas
we have the explanation that he must
have recovered aud is 110 n prisoner
Howe made a movement as if he would
speakWell
Well what is It
It seems to mo I have struck a oue
The Priuce was with us The Zulu may
have known it what if he was ordered
to take him prisoner nnd mistook bis
man Capt Blaiue talked to the Prince
before goius on sentry and was very
much of the samu height
By Jove the man Is right said
Baker
This theory wns turned over and ex-
amined and the more they examined it
fife T >
the more the officers wero inclined to
think they had hit upou the right ex-
planation
A devilish deep plot remarked
one I think we had bettor postpone HlG
the inquiry and meanwhile send out
spies to ascertain whether or no the
Zulus have miide a capture
The cuurt was rising when Capt Dals

denly raised Ins voice

whether beating tho moorlands for

make an error In judgment as to whether
you were basking in the sunshine of no-
bility or merely having the dust thrown
in your eyes by a parcel of common mor-

either parvenu or nobleman the
etiquette of tho British sportsman is sa-

variably a gun A certain Ameri-

terms of so great friendliness and iuti
mucy exist as to make this permissable
jour fowling piece is always left be-
hind Litigations continuing for genera-
tions havo resulted from breai lies of
similar consideration and courtesy All
gentlemen ruling to hounds are guests of

fasts are given It may o happen at
meets especially among friendly titled
neighbors that this hunting breakfait
Is provided in friendly courtesy by the
lord of some manor miles from
your hosts estate As a guest
you nro on precisely the same
terms under such circumstances as your
host Although if ladies joiu the meet
they are not expected to join the gentle-
men nt breakfast unless acquainted with
tho lady of the house though the latter
never presides at such breakfasts when
ladies will at onco proceed to the draw-
ing room These hunting orenkfasts are
most simple aud informal They usuiillv
consist of cold joints snlads and ales

of honor They are served in the dining

The pursuit of feathered game in Scot
laud or for that matter in ull Britain is
principally confined to grouse part-
ridge woodcock pheasants and snipe
although curlews plovers fieldfares
quails corncrucka are plentiful and all
manner of wildfowling and fenshooting
for ducks geese dunlins nud coots is in-
dulged iu by those possessing more of the
true sportsmans and less of the sum-
mer resorters instinct Grouse nun
pheasants lill the greatest number of
bags pots and paunches As August 12
first lets the sportsmen loose upon
grouse these undoubtedly occupy tho
greatest attention There aro four
varieties the red grouse found in
Xorthern England and anywhere south
of the Highlands in Scotland thu ptarm-
igan found only among the peaks of thu
Northeru Scottish mountain rauges the
plumage of which has the curious quulity
of changing from the summer dress
of brownish yellow barred with zig-
zag lines of black to a winter costume of
pure white tho black cock of Scotland
and uortheru English counties and the
magnillceut capercailzie king ot all
grouse and only fouud in Scotland
reintroduced from Norway and carefully
presorved utter n complete extinction
about the middle of the century Tho
red grouso provides the uuiversal shoot-
ing iu August and again in Uctobnr
After the shooting the box Is reached
guns are examined and most importuut
of all gamekeepers are consulted as to
here the best packs of birds are to be
found This can ouly be fixed by close
observation by those constantly net
quamtod with the conhrmation of the
shooting area and the everchauging
habits of the birds themselves The
seasons too have an important bear
1 iug upon their haunts If it is wet
j the birds hatch at the edges of
braes and on the brows ot slopes aud
hills If dry they are sure to be found
along thehaughs Hats aud peatmosses
for sportsmen it is becoming more and where water Is in close proximity for the
on the part of titled young There is great labor iu grouse
owners of large northern estates who shooting for the shooter must be a cease
retain possession of their own shoot less walker until the dogs take the scent
Ings or who lease them to others with
privilege of themselves and a eertalu
number of guests shooting over their own
preserves to discharge many of their
London social obligdtious by entertain-
ing their city friends with n few
days shooting We Ameri
cans have no comprehension
of the universality of the sports-
man instinct and education in Great
Britain Heading English Hotion and
particularly Kingsleys novels gives an
insight into the Importance of hunting
and shooting to every English bred man
So that the greater the man be socially
politically or financially the more likely
it is that he is bred from youth though
always living in Loudon to following
the hounds aud shooting grouse on tho
moors or phoasauts within tho
bounds walls of great demesnes
He may neither own nor rent a shoot
ins Cut he has u great London
house This Is open to his northern
noble friends during the London sea-
son The return courtesy involves en-
tertainment during the shooting sea
sou and it U often the case that a large
number of the genuine aristocracy of tho
Island will be fouud at any one of the
numberless great northern palaces dur-
ing the autumn than areever at onejtme
crowded within stifling walls at the most
exclusive of London winter receptions
IX you were pilgriming afoot aad alone
of game Light breakfasts aud early
worn are the rule a sandwich and a flask
of cold tea supplying all needs until
luucheontime when ladies join the
jaded sportsmen on the banks of some
beautiful burn anil a genuine plcnlo is
enjoyed Two or three hours ot midday
are thus passed when with fresh dogs
the afternoon work begins This is
usually tho best and heaviest Late din-
ners are the rule and every true British
sportsman may be found in his bed during
the shooting season by 9 oclock at
night
The October Dheasant hunting as well
as the autumnal deer driving provide
a mode of entertainment on a grand
scale but have more murder and less
sport in them than is pleasant to contem-
plate The pheasants are partly domes-
ticated reared by ordinary henmothers
and set at liberty within the great
demesnes In July Notwithstanding
high walls gentleness of keepers and all
possible preventatives manv pheasants
stray from their homemanors Hnd
seeking the outer hedges uud boggrasses
fall prey to the
SNAKES OF SMALL TEXANTS
and common poachers Therefore a few
days before pheasant shooting begins nil
the gillies about the estate form a circle
miles from the main preserve and con-
centrating towards the latter shout und
