with a dispatch that was blood-a ur

It was during the return from one
of these expeditions that he expound

ground and his words picked their
way slowly as though bent on a»(tid-
ing all misunderstanding.
“It is the truth,” lie said lb Might-
fully, “that tbe spirit of man advances
only by plunder and the corollary to
that Is tbe fact that the plundered
world la always the more frullfnl. but
the unpardouulile sin as far as peoples
are concerned le the failure to define
robbery under arms from productive
plunder, and you ran almost say the
aame thing of individual relationship.”

lage. hus the right to alt in the pres

Immediately, to ttm nimble of a dozen
tom-toms, a horde of natives—all uien
—swunned Into Ihe beaten court of
the craal.
Those nnliven who lacked the royul
hull-uinrk were squatting on their
heels In a vast mass of serrated and
concentric circles of which the Inner-
most left an open spare whose peri-
phery was determined by the exact
ri rcniuference of - tbe wide-spreading
brunches of the tree. Andrea coughed
softly hut M'surtgo did not look up—In
fact, nobody looked up. It was ex-
actly as though she were not. Hhc
slipped to tbe trunk of a tree end
leaned ontone hand placed against It.
Homehow It seemed an only friend In
an empty world.
Tbe preliminary palaver waa a mat-
ter of much leisurely ceremony, gui-
tural pronouncements, grants, pauses,
more monologues, repeated grants;
hut, once l| was over, M'snngo settled
hack wtth a sigh and etarted dispens-
ing Justice with a breathless rush that
reminded one of the manner in which
he dispatched game.
It seemed to Andrea that ha never
watted to bear mare thaa the eta le-
nient of the offence when he would Im-
mediately praseooce sentence. “Twen-
ty lashes; next! Thirty iatoee; next!
Twelve lashes; nout,” at the rate of

claims any group of diverse men

less from hurrying.

lialf-narcotlzed and fearful of losing
the dream. “Welch end lletrn. for

wand, about twenty inches In length,
