NADA THE LILY.

Bosrs there, wiping them crat, man, 1 woman and child. Away!" I Now the messengers cried out the royal salute of Bayete and were gone at once. But we, the councilors, the mem bers of the Amapakati, still stood silent. ThenDingaan spoke again, address ing me: "Is thy heart at rest now, Mopo, son of Makedama? Ever hast thou bleated mmy ear of this white people and of the deeds that they shall do, and lo! they are gone. Say, Mopo, are the Am booma wizards yonder all dead? If any be left alive I desire to speak with one of them." Then I looked Dingaan m the face and spoke. "They are all dead, and thou, O Mng, thou also art dead." "It was well for thee, thou dog," said Dingaan, "that thou make thy meaning plain." "Let the king pardon me," I answered; "this is my meaning: Thou canst not kill these white men, for they are not of one race, but of many, and the sea is their home, they rise out of the black water. Destroy those that are here and others shall come to avenge them, morel and more and morel Now thou hast smitten m thy hour; m theirs they shall smite m turn. Now they lie low m blood at thy hand; m a day to comej O king, thou shalt lie low m blood at theirs. Madness has taken hold of thee, 0 king, that thou hast done this thing, and the fruit of thy madness shall bo thy death. I have spoken, I, who am the king's servant. Let the will of the king be done." Then I stood waiting to be killed.' Thrice Dingaan looked on me with fear m his face striving with its rage. When at last he spoke it was one word, "Qot" not three words, "Take Mm away." So 1 went, and with me went the coun cilors. I went with a heavy heart, my father, for of all the evil sights that I have seen it seemed to me that this was the most ev il_that the Amaboona should be slaughtered thus treacherously, and that the impis should be sent out treacher ously to murder those that were left o£ them, together with their women and children. Aye, and they slew—six hun dred of them did they slay—yonder m Weenen, the place of weeping. ;

CHAPTER XXHI.

THE WAR WITH THE HALAKAZI PEOPLE. j Now, my father, I must tell of how ' Umslopogaas the Slaughterer and Galazi the Wolf fared m their war against the People of the Halakazi. When I had gone from the shadow, of the Ghost mountain Umslopogaas summoned a gathering of all his headmen and told them that the People of the Ax should no longer be a little people; that they should grow great and number their cattle by tens of thousands, The headmen asked would he then make war on Dingaan, the king? Um slopogaas answered, No, he would win the favor of the king thus, and he told them of the Lily maid and of the Hala kazi tribe m Swaziland, and of how ho would go up against that tribe. Now some of the headmen said yea to this, and some said nay, and the talk ran high and lasted till the evening. But when the evening was come Umslopogaas rose and said he was chief under the ax, and none other, and that this was his will that they should go up against the Hala kazi. If there was any man there who would gainsay his will let him stand forward and do battle with him, and ho who conquered should order all things. To this there was no answer, for there were few who cared to look upon the beak of Groanmaker, and so it came about that it was agreed that the Peo ple of the Ax should go up against the Halakazi, and Umslopogaas sent out messengers to summon every fighting man to his side. But when Zinita, his wife, came to hear of the matter she was wroth and ' upbraided Umslopogaas and heaped curses on me, Umbova, whom she knew only as the mouth of Dingaan, because, as she said truly, I had put this thought into the mind of the Slaughterer. "What!" she said; "do you not live her© m peace and plenty, and must you go to make war on those who have not harmed you, there perhaps to perish or come to other ill? You say you do this to win a girl for Dingaan and to find favor m his sight. Has not Dingaan girls more than he can count? It is more likely that wearying of us, your wives, you go to win girls for yourself, Bulalio, and as for finding favor, rest quiet; so shall you [ find most favor. If the king sends his impis against you ikpn it will be time to fight, O fool with little wit." Thus Zinita spoke to him, and Um slopogaaa could not challenge her to battle. Now on the third day all the fighting: men were gathered, and there might have been two thousand of them, good men and brave. Then Umslopogaas went out to them and spoke to them, telling them of this adventure, and Ga~ Jazi the Wolf was with him. Now a great shout rose from every throat. I "We will go with you, Bulaliq, to vic tory or death." So on the morrow they went and trav eled fast, and after awhile entered the territory of the Halakazi. At dawn Umslopogaas looked out over the wide plains beyond and Galazi showed him a long, low hill, two hours' march away. "There, my brother," he said, "is the head kraal of the Halakazi, where I was bom, and m that hill is the great cave." Then they went on, and before the sun was high they came to the crest of a rise and heard the sound of horns on the farther side of the rise. They stood upon the rise and looked, and lo! yet far off and running toward them, was the whole impi of the Halakazi, and it was a great impi. ** Thefi Umslopogaas and Galazi made ready for the battle. They posted all the young men m the broken ground above the bottom of the slope, for these could best be spared to the spear, and Galazi the Wolf took command of them; but the veterans staid upon the hillside, and with them Umslopogaas. i Now the Halakazi came on, and there.

'vC COPYRIGHT, '832, BY TILLOTSCN &> SON AND J»U«

wore four full regiments of them; the plain was black with them and the air was rent with their shoutings, and like lightnings flashed their spears. On the farther side of the slope they halted and sent a herald forward to demand what the People of the Ax would have of j them. The Slaughterer answered that they would have three things: First, the head of their chief, whose place Ga lazi should fill henceforth; second, that fair maid whom men named the Lily; third, a thousand head of cattle. If these things were granted then he would Bpare them, the Halakazi; if not, he would stamp them flat and take all. J So the herald returned, and when he j reached the ranks of the Halakazi he | called aloud his answer. Then a great roar of laughter went up from the Hala- , kazi—a roar that shook the earth. The i brow of Umslopogaas the Slaughterer j burned red beneath the black when he heard it, and he shook Groamnaker to ward their host. "Ye shall sing another song before this sun is set," he cried, and strode , along the ranks speaking to this man ■ and that by name, and lifting up their hearts with great words. Now the Halakazi raised a shout and charged. It was soon done when once it was ' begun. Some were fled and some were dead, and this was the end of that fight. No, no; not of all the fight. The Hal akazi were worsted m the field, but many lived to win the great cave, and there must the work be finished. Thither then went the Slaughterer presently with such of his impi as was left to him. Alas! many were slain. But how could they have died better than m that fight? Also those that were left were as good as all, for now they knew that they should not be overcome easily while Ax and Club still led the way. Now they stood before a hill measur ing perchance three thousand paces ' round its base. It was of no great height and yet unclimbable, for after a man had gone up a little way the sides of it were sheer, offering no foothold to the rock rabbits and lizards. No one was to be seen without this hill, nor m the great kraal of the Halakazi that lay to the east of it, and yet the ground about this was trampled with the hoofs of oxen and the feet of men, and from within the mountain came the sound of lowing cattle. "Here is the nest of the Halakazi," quoth Galazi the Wolf. "Here is the nest indeed," said Um slopogaas, "but how shall we come at the eggs to suck them? There are no branches to this tree." "But there is a hole m the trunk," an swered the Wolf. Now he led them a little way till they came to a place where the soil was trampled at the entrance to a cattle kraal, and they saw that there was alow cave that led into the cliff like an arch way such as you white men build. But this archway was filled up with great blocks of stone placed upon each other m such fashion that it might not bo forced from without. After the cattle were driven m it had been filled up, "Not here may we enter," said Galazi; "follow me." So they followed him and came to the north side of the mountain, and there, two spear casts away, a soldier was standing. But when he saw them ho vanished of a sudden. "Thero is the place," said Galazi, "and tho fox has gone to earth m it." Now they ran to the spot and saw a little hole m the rock scarcely bigger than an ant bear's burrow, and through the hole came sounds and some lj^ht, "Now where is the hyena who will try a new burrow?" cried Umslopogaas. "A hundred head of cattle to the man who wins through and clears the way.' 1 Then two young men sprang forward who were flushed with victory and de sired nothing more than to make a great name and win cattle, crying: "Here are hyenas, Bulalio." "To earth, then," said Umslopogaas, "and let him who wins through hold the path awhile till others follow." | The two young men sprang at the hole, and he who reached it first went down upon his hands and knees and j crawled m, lying on his shield and hold ing bis spear before him. For a little while the light m the hole vanished, and they heard the Bound of his crawling. Then the noise of blows, and once more light crept through the hole. The man was dead. Then Umslopogaas crept into the hole, taking no shield, but holding Groan maker before him, and at his heels crept Galazi. When he had gone the length , of sis spears he stretched out his hand and, as he trusted to do, he found the feet of that man who had gone before and died m the place. Then Umslopo gaas the wary did this: He put his head beneath the dead man's legs and thrust himself onward till all the man was on his back, and there he held him with one hand, griping his two wrists m his hand. Then he crawled forward a little space and saw that he was coming to the inner mouth of the burrow, but that the shadow was deep there because of a treat mass of rock which lay before the urrow, shutting out the light. "This ' is well for me," thought Umslopogaas, "for now they will not know the dead from the living. I may yet look upon the sun again." Now lie heard the Ha lakazi soldiers talking without. "The Zulu rats love not this run," said one; "they fear tho ratcatcher's stick. This is good sport," and a man laughed. Then Umslopogaas pushed himself forward as swiftly as he might, holding the dead man on his back, and suddenly came out of the hole into the open place m the dark shadow of the great rock. "By the Lily!" cried a soldier, "here's another! Take that, Zulu rat!" and he smote the dead man heavily with a ker rie. "And that I" cried another, driving his spear through him so that it pricked Unislopoga-as beneath. "And that! and thaci and that I" said others, as they smote and stabbed. Now Umslopogaas groaned heavily m the deep shadow and lay still. "No need to waste more blows," said the man who had struck first. "This one will
