Ivory horns had brayed. Heed pipers had shrilled. Drums had thumped and thundered. Incon gruously, almost sardonically, a band composed of recently re cruited cannibals had blared out the Marteillaue. Flags the flags of the United Nations, Free France, America, Great Britain, Norway, Holland, Brazil and all the decent rest had fluttered everywhere, defiantly and hopefully. People of many races had lined the dusty streets, cheering themselves hoarse. From a dozen ceremonial fires, scented smoke had mounted to the tight, lapis-blue sky in feathery streamers and hung there in a blood-red cloud, lighting up this little town of Mounetville a neat French bourgeois name that, hav ing supplanted the former Arabic appellation of Suq el-Maraghin, sat illy upon its steaming, exotic miasma and telling all Central Africa that a new lord had come to rule. For today, by appointment of General de Gaulle, Lincoln C Elliot, American, was military governor of this last and loneliest French equatorial colony which sweltered and sweated and stewed at the back of the beyond. T INCOLN ELLIOT sat alone that night on the veranda of his squat little wattle-and-daub house which was so pompously -called the "Governor's Palace." He listened to the far, faint pulse-beat of the Arab tom-toms and the hollow, nasal, sardonic thud of the tall, wooden. Negro drums. He thought of his meeting, a few weeks earlier, in London, with General de Gaulle and Winston Churchill. Thought of the confi dential communication locked in his desk: a flattering message from Washington telling him that while. doubtless, given his varied mili tary experiences, the war office would be glad to give him a com mission, the United States gov ernment considered him irre placeable in his present position. He smiled as he recalled how, only a little over a decade earlier, he had come to this same colony as a raw recruit in the French army, after a memorable row with his father. Amos W. Lincoln, manager of an American express company in Paris, had been a stern New Eng lander the sort who had dieted his smoldering, natural passions into a bleak, thin-blooded, arti ficial Puritanism. He had married a Frenchwoman, a widow with a son, who died in giving birth to Lincoln. Amos had adopted Raoul, who was six years older; had brought up his stepson as well as his son with an iron hand. He had thought himself a good Christian, yet had never learned the sweet virtue of forgiveness. So when Raoul, a rather wild, extravagant young ster who had chosen the army as a career, had gone heavily into debt, he had refused to assist him; had even refused to come to the rescue when the other, driven to despair by hounding creditors, had helped himself to regimental funds. Raoul had been drummed out of the army with disgrace; and Lincoln for he had . loved his half-brother dearily had bad a terrible scene with his father. Ac cusations and counter-accusations. Words that should not have been spoken. There had been, as a logical aftermath .to the row, too much champagne mixed with too much brandy, and a persuasive recruit ing sergeant, gorgeous in his well fitting, blue uniform and medals clinking on his broad chest . Since then Lincoln had served In the French Foreign Legion here and there all over Africa, from Algiers to the Tripolitanian bor der, from Dakar to the Came roons. He learned to love the land with a love surpassing that of woman. ... " His steel-blue eyes had become puckered and weary; his curly, brown hair had grown thin in spots; his lips did not smile as readily as formerly; and he had lost flesh until, today, he was as lean as a whiplash. But his love for this land had persisted. And now, the colony havinv de FUNNY BUSINESS I?

INC . clared lor Free France ana the Cross of Lorraine, here he was back after 11 years, entrusted with a great mission: the mightiest where once he had been the least, TIE sat there, listening to the far, faint throbbing of the drums. Rub-rub-rub - rumbeddi - rub the Morse code of all Africa, the evening chant of all Africa, fraught with the news, the rumors and gossip and lies of all Africa. Rub-rumbeddi-ruibcdlu-rub the sound waves traveling north with words of tribal feud, and west with words of rinderpest striking the long-horned cattle of the Massais, and south with words of a M'pongwo medicine-man brewing dread mysteries, and east with words of a plump bespec tacled little German found with a forged Swiss passport in his pocket and two tons of dynamite in the packs of his Mari. Lincoln knew the drums of old. For so long, day and night, he had I listened to their chatter. And he sighed as he thought of the dead years; as the dead years came back to him with the droning of the drums; came back to him with the scent, sweet and acrid, strong as the beat of a temple gong, that drifted in from the native quarter. Ah the sounds, the scents! The melancholy realization that dear Lord God! once he had not been a great sidi,. a high-and-mighty governor to be salaamed to; but had known the soul of these drums, the soul of Africa . . . had felt this soul as part and parcel of his own soul. Rub-rub-rub-rum beddy-r u b swelling, dwindling, swelling; breaking off unexpectedly, on a high note, like a dirge skirled on the bagpipes; awakening old memories, old follies, old desires with a terrible vividness.
