' r - Jim nuickly identified himself, and , "ul.,en other ligures arose near hy, the .astonishment of the ���������two riflers in- -creased. ' , ' ' These men were no "other than ,'the .famous American scout Frederick '��������� Uurriham ' and Mr. Armstrong, the '���������r-iiperinlcndent of the, AUuigwo district, to -whom had been entrusted ] the important task of -making ' way with the high'priest, "N''dubi, who had usurped the powers of a god, declaring he wa.s the great M'limo, and ''from- his hideous cave1 among the Tilatoppo hills, issued his orders that Jclio Matabele -war should be conlinu- -ed, declaring that by his magical in- ' ifiuencc he would . change the .leaden "bullets of the -while men into water. It. became evident to the authorities that so long->as this arch demon who , exercised such an influence over his people,, remained a,li\e. peace could .-31.M or descend up in the distracted bor- i-der, and hence the daring expedition '.ot the god-hunters, one of tho most -<J5,-ei'turesume on record 5Uudsoe knew Avhere they had been, ���������vnend his very first question* as~ he .-squeezed a hand of each was to ,the Ipoint- "Well, did you fetch him?"

Then together, like two great cats, they dropped softly into the darkness. The rocky aisJe?ra feAV paces in advance, turned sharply to the left. They cautiously peered avound this "lieck." There in the semi-darkness sat N'- clubi..the M'limO of 'the Matabele, (.���������aunt and savage, crouched like - a .spider in a noisome web. ' As thev caug-ht sifi'ht of bim, an inspiration sAvept over the g*od and he began an incantation. The half-muttered words of tho chant resembled the mindless ravings of a hasheesh dream. With every sway of his body forward his gree-grecs and armlets of dead men's hones sounded liko the angry Avarning- of'a rattlesnake. Before he had "finished the chant he sprang T,o his feet, tall and bony, and Avith blazing- eyes. 'He had seen in the gloom the Avhite faces of J3urnham and Armstrong. There Avas no op; porumity for seizure The long-, dusky arm of ,the Matabele god "described a SAvift' swoop toAvards the wall of the cave, In. doing- this he' half turned his back. Was it assegai, gun, "or spear he sought to snatch, from,the Avail? Burnham did not know, nor did he stop to.guess. His rifle pitched like lightning to his shoulder, and the darkness was lanced with flame. Then M.'limo, tho Matabele god, threw his arms aloft aad Avith never a 'groan fell prone upon his face dead. Echoes Avhich had slept .for centuries wore Avakencd from their hoary lairs and AVent rioting and bellowing abroad in the hills. Out of the cav- ern pell-mell came the two nien, scrambling^ wildly for t������he base of the hill where "their horses Avere tied. % * ' AIL had been well arranged beforehand,' and Avorked with clock-like regularity. Armstrong, making a .short detour, set fire to the big kraal, Avhich contained about two hundred huts. In the meantime Burnham had secured the horses and led 'them to Armstrong. The Matabele aroused by the rifie shot, had, as yet been unable to locate it. * Tho smoke of the burning Aillage gave 'them,a rallying point, and the3* came swarming out>,like bees from a hive. The air Avas filled Avith the shouts of men. the screams of women and the crackling of the dry and burning, grass. ' ' ' ,r Already the fugitives had been perceived by the' Matabele, who Avere trying to cut thorn off from the riArer. AAvay ���������went* the horses - like greyhounds in the race that was to turn the scale pf life cr death. They rounded ���������" _tho flaAkers of ' the enemy, and stretched,away for the river. That Avas the story of hOAv the notorious usurper ihet^his doom. Those who haA'e read an account of it in the columns of ' enterprising papers doubtless had little appreciation * of lhe terrible dangers surrounding the mission of these brave fellows, Avho took their lives in their hands "and went out to usave the border from being drenched Avith *blood. Heroic treatment is sometimes necessary in order to accomplish great results. They had ridden hard; their horses had been pushed to the limit, and noAV, as Burnham had' been saying, they must rest before completing their flight to MangAve. Natm ally they Avere more than curious to know what strange mis- m'oii brought J.ord Bruno and his little band into tin's hotbed of danger, and a\hen the JCnglisli artist declared iie had .secured some excellent sketches of the Zambodi. 'and Matabele in their Avar dances and in council, doubtless they considered the venture for so strange a purpose a little on the order of such hare-brained feats as poor eld Don Quixote sought. Then the presence of Marian aroused their curiosity, and the story had to be told. _ i Rex noticed Inttle Phil prcssibg close to T-iord Bruno Avhile the latter related how he had long sought his sister and found her in the fair idol of the Zambodi���������it seemed to have some special meaning to the coAvboy, for a little later I.cx heard him laughing softly to himself and repeating "Sister Marian" in a crooning way as though he rejoiced in the iicav fouud happiness *���������:' the Englishman.

Here the dawn of another day found them, surroxmded by as wild a country as South Africa knew. The hours dragged along. Burnham and his companions shared with them their stock of provisions, so the pangs of hunger were warded off. Again and again they saw bands of the fierce Matabele scouring the country, and once Rex, using the glass, believed he had a glimpse of Zambodi warriors, with the knavish Plassaje at their head, though they vanished among the thickets before he could make sure his suspicion was absolutely correct. (To be Continued.); What Becomes o������ Tliem After tlie Death of 'Their Victim? ' In a recent number of a German journal devoted to bacteriology an interesting summary is presented of certain results attained by Dr. Klein in the course of a long series of experiments made lately in which Dr. Klein endeavored successfully to ascertain what becomes of disease germs after the death of their yictim. These experiments had a very decided practical value, as the. conditions which they proved to exist dispose effectually of one of the arguments which has been often used by advocates of cremation. These latter have held that disease germs could retain their vitality for an indefinitely long period in the buried body and that therefore cemeteries, in addition to being harmful because of the depaying oiganic matter which they contained, were positively dangerous because they acted as immense storage reservoirs for the bacteria of the different diseases. Dr. Klein's results correct this mistaken idea. In order to carry out his experiments satisfactorily he buried animals which had died from certain known diseases, disinterred the bodies at the end of varying periods and examined tho organs for bacteria. The bacillus of Asiatic chplera was still living at_tho end of nineteen days, but after being buried for' twenty-eight no living'specimen-could .-be found. The typhoid foyer bacillus was able to exist for about the same'length of time, while the germ which causes the bubonic plague was able to survive an interment of seventeen days, but. was never found living at.the end of three weeks. The bacillus of consumption lives for but_a short time after the death of its victim. Dr. Klein always found it without difficulty in the organs, but was never able to obtain a successful, culture. What is perhaps of even greater importance, he was never able to cause tuberculosis by injecting the bacteria thus found into the system of a healthy animal. ' ��������� ��������� . " Horses' Instinctive Pear. Among the surprises of modern city life nothing astonishes the man from the country more than the indifference of the horses to the speeding electric cars, noisy elevated trains and swift motor vehicles. Things that would have terrified and stampeded all the horses of the city not so many years ago are regarded with .complacency, and yet the animals have not lost certain instincts of dread. In an open express wagon coming down Third avenue last week there loomed up a gigantic polar bear. He was stuffed, the sign of .a fuivier, being taken to the taxidermist for repairs. As he slowly moved down the. avenue there was an equine panic. , The sparks flew from the granite blocks where the iron hoofs struck as the most pacific horses reared and plunged. . - ��������� The Palm of the Hand.

Some /-, 11, ii of the Barbarous "Laws TI>a1 "Used to Be Enforced. Sir Samuel Romilly was the'first who endeavored to sotten the rigor of the criminal law. In 1808 he passed a bill re-, pealing "the statute of Elizabeth, which made larceny punishable by death, and three or four years later he carried other bills of a similar nature. Indeed, it is chiefly owing to his efforts that our criminal system is indebted for its present characteristics of humanity. . i One or two of the former punishments ' are so curious that it may be interesting ��������� to notice them. In the time of Henry v VIII. poisoning was made treason, and ' the punishment was to be boiled alive, > . which was carried out in the case of John ��������� Rous, who threw poison into a pot of, broth prepared for the'bishop of Rochester's family. ,This, in common.with many more of Henry "VIlI./s barbarous laws, > was repealed by Edward VI. The law of retaliation was introduced by statute 37, Edward III., as a punishment, for those' who, preferred malicious accusations. ' It did not answer,, however, and was repealed after 'Oiie year's trial. -Crimes of an unnatural nature, such as a wife killing her husband, a servant his r master, an ecclesiastic his superior, were held petit treason, and a man was drawn , and , hanged and a woman drawn and burned.' ���������> "**"-, '_ We se^ something of a similar nature in the ancient Roman law that enacted \ that the murderer of a parent should be scourged"and-then tied up im a leather ���������* sack with a dog, cock, viper and ape and then thrown into the'sea. Piiblicus Mai- J ' leohis,; who killed Ijjs mother, was the first who suffered this punishment in the year of Rome'652. . -;-But this punishment has existed in - /��������� modern Europe.* Thus, in" Spain, at Jaen, fcon March 1, 1832,���������a man, for murdering 1 his''daughter-in-law, after being placed In ar barrel with a cock, a snake, a mon- . skey'and a toad,v was /thrown into the river. . , Another common punishment, now long i- obsolete, was disflgurement, as every one .acquainted with the records of the star chamber knows. Ears and noses were , -most frequently cut off, the excuse being that the, loss of them does not tend to ': weaken the culprit, whereas the loss of ': an arm or finger does. ' Early,.law always* j advocated member for member, forgetting .I that on .a "repetition of the offense the I Dunishment cannot be repeated. < REE Strangers Now.

If we had full faith that we were well, we would be , so There is something in the ideas, for every one knows that the mind has much to do with the condition of the body It is, entirely possible to cure jsome diseases by persistently believing > that they do not exist and acting accordingly. But all maladies will not yield to such treatment. An Interesting Experiment. The Mirror and Farmer says: We have an experiment in progress in which five spayed" heifers are being fed aerainst five open heifers and both lots against five steers, the entire fifteen head being all of the same age, raised on the same farm, sired by the same bull, and all from the same kind of cows. The' object of the experiment is to determine not only the cost of producing beef tinder these conditions, but the quality of the beef as well. A. lieautilul Swiss Custom.

Tho former, who was "hoss," saj'd to mo: "Bill Uripps, you've been our head animal mau only one season, hut that's enough for me to know/and trust you, so I'm going, away with my' mind easy, leaving you in entire charge 'of the menagerie. Keep the bills down, draw on me when you want money, and���������that's all." I said I'd do my best and meant it. The circus outfit I had nothing to do' with. The menagerie was well housed 1/ ' i J!-''- *��������� *W"E HAD A LOT OF VISITORS. 'in a "huge barn away out on Western ��������� - row, which seemed to have been built to ^fit������it,, A good big room was partitioned, off rfor me in one front corner. '' The cages were ranged along the side . ��������� walls, with a runway behind therm and *r~,ln box stalls across the farther end were the zebra, the elephant, the cam- ��������� el and tbe,sacred cow. A monster red- ,/hot stove stood in the middle of the rr central space, with a large'bunch light , over-it. Altogether, it was as warm, r . bright, clean and, cheery a place as ���������you'd want to see, as everybody said '* who saw it, and we hajl a good many , visitors. , - Caged cnimals become restless if left x alone, and I never went out more than ��������� an hour or two at a time, but even at that I took' a good many long walks for exercise and to see the city, leaving black Sara'���������my helper���������and the two cage cleaners for the animals to look"* ��������� at. " But as time ran along to near Christmas I seemed to lose heart "for going out much. Something in the air made me feel myself, more than ever before, a ^hopelessly lonesome, <��������� homeless total stranger. ' < The stores were brighter and gayer than I had ever noticed their being before; the streets full of happy faced people carrying bundles of Christmas presents; the windows of homes adorned with evergreen festoons and Christmas wreaths; the shopmen's wagons busy delivering good things for Christmas dinners and Christmas trees.' The Lord knows I didn't begrudge anybody's happiness, but it all made me feel unutterably sad. In all the world I knew of no one whose eyes would brighten or lips smile a welcome for my coming. As for sharing in the general joy of tbe Christmas season, I might as well have been that ornary camel���������the meanest dispositioned beast alive, to my thinking���������as a man with a heart to feel his loneliness. Every other man had friends, even poor old black Sam. And what made it harder to bear was that home and love belonged in my past and I could not forget them. When I came back to New York after a winter engagement with "Dentley's Aggregation" in the West Indies and South America, I found my dear wife Lizzie had been run down by a Broadway stage and killed. And what had become of my sweet little baby girl Jennie, only 4 years old, nobody could tell me. That was a dozen years back, but never since have 1 felt any less heartsick and lonely than when my grief was fresh, and in the winter, along about Christmas, I always feel it mosL . The animals, as I sat brooding by the stove, seemed to know 1 was in trouble and feel sorry for_me. They would stand still a long time looking at. me, and the elephant, I'm sure, tried to ask, by his little squeals, what was the matter. Only that mean camel screwed up his nose scornfullike, as if be didn't care a cuss who felt bad, which he certainly didn't. Friday morning, the third day before Christmas, Jack Henderson, a young reporter, dropped in. as he often did. and happened to remark: "It seems hard to be imprisoned tor life without an occasional happy clay to vary the monotony.' Caged animals ought to have holidays." That set me thinking after he was gone, and 1 made up my mind the men agerie under my charge should, for once anyway, have a Christmas. 1 considered what every J bird and beast in the lot liked best and mostly never got. and all those things 1 meant .they should have on Christmas day. That afternoon 1 wont out buying and laughed to myself when I thought 1 was actually purchasing Christmas presents For a lot of folks who would be sure'to appreciate them. 1 got for the birds all sorts of choice fruit5?, nice Feeds, ants' 'eggs, mealworms, and so on. according to their several tastes, and for the monkeys more line liuit tig paste, candy and nut kernels. For tbe cat, animals I engaged plenty oft tender, juicy, fresh beef instead of tough old horse, their ordinary diet. There wasn't rmuch to be done for the hay eaters beyond unaccustomed oats, , apples and - bran mashes," but for the elephant 1 gotT aj basket of fine oranges and had baked a lot of patty cakes, such as he used to enjoy at home in India. ,The camel didn't really deserve any "Christmas, but I bought a hatful-of dates for him anyway. . - . > >' I was getting tho'���������stuff tinon.Satur- ,day afternoon when Jack came around again with a bunch of good cigars'for mjr Christmas, and it brought my heart up in my'throat, that the kind fellow ��������� had thought of me so, for ho one else , had since Lizzie died. He asked what tthe things were for, aud I told* him. Maybe I said more than I meant to, for 'my heart was full'at'the time, and I had no idea of his putting anything in' the paper about the menagerie's Christmas. But he.did, and really when I read on Christmas morning the story "he,got up I was surprised. > - Cat animals are never fed on .Sundays and as we let ail go .shy of breakfast Monday thexmenagerie>r"appetite for a* Christmas'dinner at noon was sure to bo good.* Before that time came we had a lot of visitors, nice peo-' pie who had seen Jack's story, and among them were a fine white headed old gentleman-who introduced himself, as Dr. Hiram Bidwell, and his adopted, daughter���������a splendid looking girl. Luckily we were in good shape to (receive them.' Sam'Wore'a new suit I had given him.

He could not wear boots, his feet were so swollen; and when he tried to walk his legs felt like stocks. Finally he was induced to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. He took six boxes, he said, but did not see, that he was much better. He determined to quit taking ihem. but was persuaded to con- O/inue them for a little while longer. When he had taken ton boxes he was greatly improved, and when he had taken twelve boxes- he was so -well that he did not need any more.

Mr Jos. .Martin has been chosen ��������� '. leader of the Brhibh Columbia,4Lib- erals by the, convention held at Q J - , - 'I Vancouver last week. Theqonyen-" tion turned clown the chairman, ���������"Senator Tern pieman, 'and - elected ���������Mr ,'G. R. Maxwell/ M.P., .in 'his'., ���������, stead. The' Senator then left the hall-."in disgust. The- convention "-passed a declaration'in, favor, of Federal .party" lines -in Provincial j 'politics. ,- The Victoria Times &aiys'J -the convention "will ndtx.be held" by even the strongest friends of the new leader, to have been truly re- ' presentative of ^British, Columbia ���������Liberalism," and asks *'.wh&t effect 'iB the latest'move, likely to have upon- the present government and ' opposition in the Legislature?"' As -the*. Legislature, will meet on - the 1 20th,vit is not necessary tb speculate' upon-the effect the .latest move will have upon the present government. ;, "Messrs Helmcken,*- McBride"' and McPhillips, in consequence of this "latest move"'may move back 'again to the government benches, , and the Premier be still supported ,rby a large majority in the Legislature. That Mr Bodwell will be defeated at the contest to take place in a short time for the vacant/seat in Victoria is' the opinion held by a large number of the electors of that city. Mr Bodwell will very likely be strongly opposed by Mr Joseph Martin, the new Liberal leader, and the Liberal vote will in consequence be much split up, making the election of a government supporter certain. ** The people of this province are tired of political turmoil, "and. will-be well pleased if the pit}*' of Victoria elects a supporter of thQ Dunsmuir Government. The Pre- mier has the welfare of the Province at heart, and as his correspondence with the Dominion -Government shows, he has done all that any man could do to further British Columbia interests. , The twelve planks in the platform adopted by the convention are as follows: ��������� 1. Immediate redistribution of seats in tho province accoiding to population, with a smaller unit of population for outside districts. 2. Government ownership of public services and utilities. 3. Aid to railways should be cash, not land. Provincial interests to be fully safeguarded in granting such aid. 4. Immediate construction of the Coast- Kootenay railway; Cariboo railway; extension of the Island railway; construction of a railway from Alberni to a point on tbe east coast of the Island, and a railway in the northern part of the province from the coaat io the eastern boundary, and a railway from "Vernon to Midway by the West Fork or Kettle River. 5.'

"��������� A great scheme'is sugge? ted-jn the -" Figaro," of Paris, for' the utilization of the rain fall of the Pvrenees.. It'vis. proposed to dam the valleys all along the chain, hold'up all the mountain torrents in a series of artifical lakes, regulate the overflow, run it through turbines, and so generate electric power. ( Tt is calculated that no less than 10,000, 000 horse-po-wer could be obtained from the Pyrenean range, and this power could be supplied at about one-sixth of the cost of that produced by steam. There may be a few little difficulties to overcome��������� but the "Figaro" is not an engineer. o Scarcity of Coke in Great Britain. The troubles of the iron-masters ���������in Great Britain seem to be on. the increase. According to the " Col liery Guardian," the iron works are now suffering from a scarcity of coke, and the additional fact that such coke as they'are getting is of inferior quality and high in price. As a consequence of this some furnaces have been put out of blast and others which might be started are kept idle. Still other works arc so hampered that the operatives can make little more than half time. Tlie scarcity of coke supply is attributed to the lax manner in which the collieries have been op-' era ted so that enough coal suitable for coking could, not be raised; Moreover, the high prices for coal has made it more profitable to ship the raw coal than to make coke, and good coking coal is -now going to fill bunkers 'which ought to be made into coke for feeding the blast furnaces. ' This appears to be a short-sighted policy on the. part of the colliery managers. -Ifc maybe temporarily profitable to them to ship their raw coal, but ifc is bad for the country at large if conditions are as stated, and ifc is helping along the "American Invasion," of which we have heard so much.
