His eyes rolled till the whites only were seen, then he thrust out a long and snaky tongue and grimaced Shaking a wooden spear fearfully. in hla hand, he swiftly cast it at us, then turned and rushed toward the village. Just aa the siiearsman turned one of our young men, who had rapidly divested himself of all but his waist shawl, darted out in pursuit and we followed at a more dignified pace. The entrance to the city was barred by a body of armed men, crouching still as death, on one knee, each holding a gun, butt on the ground, barrel sloping toward until we were ua. We advanced within twenty paces of the warriors. Then all at once, at a wild cry from a chief on the right, they jumped to their feet, leaped high In the air, with their feet doubled under them like deer, and with one voice literally barked out a thundering chorus.

These barefooted nymphs, hands on hips and heads thrown back, glided Into the measure of a dance, to the music of a shrill monody tattooed chanted by a white-haireold lady. Then all at once the chant ended on an unexpected high note and the performers stopped, breathless and glowing all over with tbeli Broad flax emotions. mats were spread out for na on ths green and after speeches of greeting we were regaled with pork, preserved birds, wild honey and potatoes, in quantity sufficient to have satisfied a starving Russian garrison. d Da-e- self-evolv- Big Mines with Small Names.
