delayed we in kenya and uganda are doing our best and are achieving considerable success more particularly in regard to the technical education of african natives formerly in the hands of the mission

pennington turned on his heel and went back to the bamboo bridge where hewitt had first found him tho sun was already at its zenith when captain john hewitt commis sioner of police halted abruptly at a spot where two jungle paths met and realized that he had lost his bear ings it was precisely at that moment that he began to regret that penning ton had not offered to accompany nim pennington had an uncanny knack of finding his way through ter ritory that was absolutely unknown to him it was as if that extraordinary freak of birth that had presented him with the eyes of an oriental had gift ed him also with the mysterious in stincts of the primeval savage the track was imperceptibly grow ing wider and at intervals he felt the rays of the sun that poured down- on manyheaded and each head has a fang the corners of his evil mouth turned down have you ever heard of a sixth sense a mysterious intui tion that indicates when one is being spied upon i felt the promptings of that sense last night

from the moment she had left the little ramshackle tram to accompany tier brother to dawsons bungilow sho had become haunted with a vague ndefinite fear that she was being fol lowed sho had confided her fears to the commissioner but hewitt seeing in this sudden conviction still another symptom of the nervous trouble he had already noticed had not expressed surprise one gets odd notions in these parts he told her easily its that same queer restlessness you hear am- long the trees that gives rise to hosts of native superstitions the explanation had sounded logical enough hut on the afternoon of the day hewitt had started out to meet pennington monica encountered chai- hung himself in a narrow glade not a quarter of a mile from dawsons house isnt it delightfully cool under the trees sho
