CHAPTER XIV. (Continued.)
Thero Johnny had chills and fever,
And Harry fell Into the dumps, while
EononI tended Johnny like a -woman
with such skill and technique that
Larry was moved to ask If the black
had ever studied medicine.
"Yes, I took my desreo at Heldel
bors," Bononl replied, somewhat gruf
fly. "They don't balk at an African
prince In Germany."
"Why do you hate America, for you
do, you know?" said Harry.
"Because It wa3 an American, the
father of the woman you know as
Ccrlsso Wayne, who brought untold
misery upon my father and his ancient
African house," blurted Benonl. forcing
Johnny to drink a tea he had steeped
for him. The cave was coarsely fur
nished with skins, some crude pottery
and cooking utensils. To Larry It
looked like a secluded hunting lodge or
the some-time retreat of a spasmodic
hermit
"Then you know about this mystery
Just" as I've thought," said Larry. "And
into what mess you're taking Johnny
and me, I'd like to know!"
Tm trying to take you to Miss Lan
cey," responded Benonl. "I don't know,
of course, but I'm pretty certain she's
alive. That pigeon confirmed my be
lief of that. But as to telling you
Morris, the tale will unfold Itself, and
If It doesn't ' he shrugged his shoul
ders and put down the cup.
After that, even In the long -watcHes
of the night, when Johnny lay still and
quiet, fighting a long, slow battle with
his malady, Benonl forbore to discuss
any aspect of the Wayne murder mys
tery. This tantalized Larry all the
more. Benonl would speak, though, of
his travels, and Larry listened to the
narrations as spellbound as if to the
master of all story-tellers. For the
black had a marvelous power of lan
guage.
One morning the rain ceased to fall
Johnny was up now and walking
around the cave, trying to laugh at the
Illness that had laid him so low. Larry
had lost his watch when the punt over
turned, also his notes of his African
travels that he had conscientiously
been making. Whether it was noon,
night or dinner time, Larry never knew
any more, and it might have been
Christmas or Decoration Day for aught
he might tell to the contrary. He tried
Robinson Crusoe's notch-on-a-cross
experiment in time keeping on a rock
by the cave door, but had given up this
calendar attempt as Altogether too
crude and too much of a near-Water-bury.
-
"We're going to move on to-day,
boys," said Benonl, "as soon as break
fast's over."
"Now see here," objected Larry. "If
I'm going to die I'd Just as soon die
right here as die of curiosity on the
road, and that's what I'm going to do
If you don't drop this swathing of
mystery, Benoni, and tell us where we
are going, and all about It. What's
the matter with you, anyway? Why
don't you take us into your confidence
a bit? Supposing you'd die? Where
would be be then?"
"Better off if you knew nothing: of
what I know," Benonl responded.
"Besides. I'm not going to die. Then,
too, lack of knowledge means want of
worry. You will need all your strength.
I don't want it depleted by anxiety.
Better trust In me quietly. I've not
failed you yet. And I'm trying to pay
you a debt of gratitude. In taklnc you
where we are Journeying I'm risking
the lives of others I hold dear. Remem
ber that!"
"Well, where are wo going?" In
sisted Johnny. "I don't want to take
any more of your launch rides If you're
going to serve them up with Jungle
Bauce, as you did before. I don't like
the taste of the drinks!"
"We won't have any more of that
ready?"
Rebelliously, mutinously, Johnny and
Larry followed the giant African. The
country all around was a waste of
water, where the prodigal river had
burst her bands. Afar to the south
rose a dull granite mountain. Toward
this Benonl bent his steps. They
climbed the top of the hillock above
the cave and by dextrous Jumps and
shrewd calculation reached an elevated
plateau with but a nominal wotting.
Thick grass carpeted this plateau, beat
down to the earth, and interwoven by
the pounding of the rains it made a
slippery matting for them to walk up
on. Far to the north rose the moun
tain, and to the west lumbered the
nauseous river that skirted the cave.
For hours they walked until they en
tered a thicket, through whose mazes
Benonl found a labyrinthine path,
whloh they threaded in silence. "Won
der what tho timo is?" volunteered
Johnny.
"About noon, I think," answered Be
nonl. "We'd stop to eat, but I want to
reach tho castlo before tho rain begins
again."
"The castle?" queried Johnny.
"Whose? Whow-eol"
' They had stopped abruptly. The path
had como out upon a wonderful gar
den, exquisitely laid out, though bat
tered from the onslaughts of the rain.
Ahead of them was a granite castle,
and close to Its uncouth entrance a girl
was dancing. As they looked they saw
that she was tall and fair, and that
though there was a huge Hon beside
her, though her hair fell in braids
down her back, and though her garb
was that of a woman of ancient Greece,
that she was unmistakably the long!
MUght Bettyl 1
CHAPTER XV.
City Editor Burton and Betty were
walking In tho garden. The garden
was wet as a sponge, and Betty, shoes
and stockings off, was Joying In the
rush of the water ahd tho feel of the
tepid ooze beneath her foot. It was
the first tlmo In days that the rain
had not been falling. A haze still over
spread the desert and the air seemed
full enough of rain to have dripped If
you had squeezed it. But Betty didn't
care. Her long brown hair, still dull
and satiny as a pecan-shell, dosplto II
the havoc of fever, sea wind and south
ern sun, dangled below her waist In
two thick braids, and was parted with
never a sign of a rlpplo over her broad
white forehead. Botty's hair under no
provocation had ever been known to
curl. It was nice, straightforward hair.
Her gown was a prolongation of Meta's
tunic, and skirt of fine white linen,
low of neck, devoid of sleeve and
clasped at the shoulder with two flash
ing diamond buckles that Met a picked
up somewhere around the castle. It
was fastened at the belt by a wide gir
die of cut and uncut diamonds curi
ously and Indiscriminately mixed. Bet
ty had long since ceased to take any
Interest in diamonds, for she had had
more of flashing pins and gee-gaws
thrust on her by tho admiring Meta
during her stop In the castle than Bho
had over dreamed of owning. Betty's
skirt, though much longer than Meta's
was very well above her ankles and
with City Editor Burton as an appre
ciative audience Betty was practicing
a barefoot dance as she had seen an
ultra-fashionable exponent of barefoot
dancing pranco upon a very esthetic
stage.
"Just watch, City Editor Burton,'1
she laughed. "Just watch! Hero is
where I am expressing Joy! Note the
glow of the drapery, Burton, my boy,
and the marvelous way In which the
dancer sticks her toes into the ooze
Oh, there's a thorn. Now, City Editor
Burton. I'm about, to be captured and
cast away on a desert isle watch me
see this gesture in grief City Editor
mine I send a message see I wel
como a pigeon see, there. City Editor
Burton, it brings me a message from
from oh. Meta, Meta Meta Larry
Johnny "
Burton bayed a prodigious roar, Meta
tumbled from the house with a small
rifle In her hand as Betty, barefooted.
dishevelled, sprang Into the arms of
Larry Morris, and let him hold her
very tightly and kiss her forehead
again and again, while red-headed
Johnny Johnson grabbed her hands al
ternately and danced around so reck
lessly that City Editor Burton howled
louder than a simoon. Betty and Larry
were too rapt for words. Not so tho
incorrigible Johnny.
"Get on to the Isadora Duncan rig,"
he chortled, "and this animal here
your lap-dog, Betty? What do you call
him?"
"City Editor Burton," mumbled Bet
ty, extricating herself from Larry's
arms, and both the men roared.
'Wouldn't I llko to see old Burt's
face if we could only ship him the
brute," said Johnny. "It would bo worth
getting hung for!"
Meta, when she had recognized Lar
ry as the original of the portrait In
Betty's locket, lowered the little revol
ver, which till this moment Betty had
not known she possessed. As Meta
turned to go into the house Betty call
ed her back, and putting her arm
around the black girl's waist, she said:
"Larry, dear, she has been good to mo;
this is Meta." Larry put out his hand
and the black girl, .half abashed, took
it silently.
"Meta," echoed Johnny. "Where"
Benonl? Is she his?"
Johnny whistled, and a man came
through tho brake he came llko a
whirlwind, and when he saw the black
girl by Betty's side a savage yell of
triumph, mingled with tho grief that
is born of Joy, rang out from both their
throats.
"His wife," said Larry, quietly. "He
brought us here. Ho and the pigeons.
Betty, dear, it was so like you to think
of the pigeons!"
"Oh, then my messages did some
good; those blessed birds, those bless
ed birds!" exclaimed Betty. "I never
knew what became of them. How did
you find the way?"
"We followed Benonl; he knew the
way best," answered Larry.
"His wife," said Betty, aghast. "And
she never told!"
Johnson and Larry both laughed. "If
that isn't tho woman of it You'll hold
that up against her ail her life, I sup
pose."
"Well, I don't care," said Betty.
"Anyway, I'll bet I know one thing you
boys don't. I know who killed Corlsse
Wayne."
"Who?" asked both boys, In a breath.
"Well, then, it was tho man who
loved her best," replied Betty.
"Oh, what's his name?" asked John
ny.
"I don't know," said Betty, "but it
must have been her husband, of
course."
"Fell down on your assignment,"
sneered Larry, "No story's any good
without names!"
The lion stretched his shrunken
guma over his rickety teeth and yawn
ed slightly.
"Mademoiselle," said Meta, ap
proaching, "you had better come Jn out
of tho wet It Is going to rain again!
Look at the sky."
"Meta, do you speak English?" re
proached Betty, with a mental resume
nf tho weary days that she had spent
without intercourse of coherent speeon
slnco Tyoga's absence.
"Oh, forgive me," cried Mota, falling
at her feet. "Yes, I wont to a convent
in London, Mtladl, but they mado me
promise I would not let you know I
knew your tongue. Thoy wero afraid
I would tell too much. But It ban
hurt me so much, Mtladl; I felt at
times that I would choke If I did not
spenk with you."
"Now I know why you couldn't learn
English," laughed Botty. "But I know
theso boys. ore hungry. Let'B get them
somo dinner and then we can talk."
"Wo must depart In all hasto from
hero," warned Bononl. "To stop long
Is very dangerous."
"Benoni speaks truly," added his
wife.
"But in all this rain that's to come?
expostulated Betty, "and wo can't loav
City Editor Burton."
"We're not going to," said Johnny.
"That's too good a Joke."
CHAPTER XVI.
In vain did tho poltco and tho re
porters dig and pry Into the houso at
94 Brlarswcet piaco in hope of finding
somo traco of Humlcy Hackleyo.
Mr. Hackleyo was not about. Ills
London bankers could glvo no dcflnlto
Information about him. For thirty
years ho had been accustomed to go
and como when ho pleased. Ho had
for a long while maintained a comfort
able homo at Khartoum and another at
Cairo, but he visited theso only at In
tervals. and sometimes was not seen
In them for a year at a time. Ho was
known to possess great estates located
In Central Africa, but none know posi
tively whero. He kept a rctlnuo of
servants at each establishment and a
suavo major-domo In each was accus
tomed to being the nominal head of the
household. Neither of these men, how
ever, could glvo any of tho wished for
explicit information about their mas
ter. Each home contained tho usual
accumulation of furniture, bric-a-brac,
and the olla podrlda of civilization that
aggregates in every wealthy home, but
nothing at all mysterious or In any
way smacking of the criminal. They
wero tho homes of a gentleman of
wealth and culture. Any connection
between the African laws and penal
ties of Mr. Hackleyo and the Indian
home of the Harcourts, It was Impossi
ble to discover. The. Harcourt menage
was located in the hill country, in a
most beautiful spot Harcourt had
come thero about seven years pre
viously, at the time of his marriage to
Narcisse De L'Enclos, the widow,
Madame Mario Da L'Enclos, whose
husband, Captain Raoul De L'Enclos,
an honorably discharged officer In the
-French army, had brought his bride
there Immediately after his marriage.
The captain had died a year after the
birth of his daughter, and Madame Do
L'Enclos and the little girl Narcisse
had lived In secluded magnificence, till
ono season on a trip to Calcutta, they
had met Harold Harcourt the younger
son of an English nobleman, who was
then visiting a cousin in the Indian
city. After a brief acquaintance the
young girl, then only 18, and Harcourt
wero married. Tho young pair went
back to the hill country palace and the
mother left for a continental voyage
from which sho never returned, though
It was given out that she had died
while abroad. Then the Harcourt baby
came a boy and -when ho was two
years old ho mei a tragic death. There
had never been anything to give rise to
suspicion about the Harcourt home,
any more than at the Hackleye es
tates, nor was any seeming connection
between the two families Instituted ex
cept that both were accredited with
possessing large diamond Interests In
Africa, and the peculiar likeness be
tween the two women, and the similar
ity in handwriting and in the euphony
of tho names of the two men. Portraits
of Harcourt on the wails of his Indian
homo were photographed and sent to
America and were an exact tally for
the man held In Jail in Chicago.

KansaB City, Mo. Eugene Bell and
his wife, of this city, believe a miracle
has been performed upon their son
Paul. 9 years old.
Paul has been helpless for a week
with infantile paralysis. His father,
an unordained minister of the Church
of God, and other members of that
church, have been trying the prayer
cure on the boy. They were praying
at the bedside at daybreak one morning
when Paul awoke. At 7 o'clock the
patient arose from his bed and walked
to the breakfast table and ate. He
could raise his arms almost as freely as
before the attack. Hib right leg, use
less for a week, supported him. The
family believes him cured in answer to
their prayers.
