14 YOUNG JACK lIAlii(A'vVAY FIGHTING THE SLAVE
Still, horses and men were equally tired, and an the proiessor‘s sug-
gestioii seemed to be a good one, Jack ordered Tiilka to pici; out the
tirst available place for the canip.
Tultca chose the dry bed of a wasiy about half a mile distant, and 1
here the tents were pitclied.
Until long after niidnight Jack and Harry sat up talkiiig with Clara ‘
about the sad hours of her captivity.
The beautiful girl ttien retired, and as llarry’s wound had hrouglit ‘
on some fever, he lay down to rest.
Mole, by this time, had his usualja; on, and was sound asleep.
So was everyone else in the camp but the guard and Jack, who lit a
fresh cigar and wallted up out of the Wady.
Sleep he could not.
The events of the day had been iiltogetlier too excitin".
Jack waiizeil tiint: to think, and he had it now.
The stars ahove his head were ahining as bright as ilianionds.
Not a sound brtilie the stillness, save occasionally the dismal howl of
soine hyena, those vile scaveii;;'ers of the desert who seldom inalm ‘
tlieinselves heard except at night.
Siiiokiiig and thinking, Jack wandered on to a range of blulls which
ll'1lll‘h(‘.tl the west batik oi the Waily.
Tin-se hills were abrupt walls of sand, rising to a height of about ,
twenty lent.
To climb them here was impossible, (or a great pile ol loose saint
ran along the l)1ISi) of the rise.
“ t'pon my word, I'd lilcu to get the view from the top there,"
thouwht Jack.
11:: inatle one or two elloras to get. tlirough the big sand heap, but
hati to wire it up.
So hi; sltirtetl alone the base of the hlulls until he came to a lace

“ Just what 1 wiiiit,” tliotiglit Jack, and he ran nimhly up the
slope.
lie llflil expected a line view, but he was hardly prepared for a sight
so 5-itartling as now met his gaxi-,.
Moving toward the hlull' on the other side. was alarge hodyof
inountetl men.
With the inoon at. its full, and evoi‘y star glittering, it was easy to
see the faces of tho llwtl, tor tin-pr were very near.

In the lead was llassaii.
By his side rode llunston with his arm in a. sling.
The Mahtli, however, was not. visible.
Jack mulil only assume thatihe hail taken part of his force and gone
on in liliartooin.
Instantly they caught siglit oi )'Ul1iI‘.[' .Ir.cl( upon the hluti.

Ifp went llassan’s l‘lllt‘, for the leader of the slave traders was as
quick in his llll)Vt.’ll]t‘.til.-l as a cat.
But Jack was Just as iiuieli,
He got, in two shots to ll;is.=an’s one.
Again llunst.on’s horse was taken from under him.

liassaii, with his wild Arah yell, raised his ritlu for another shot.
Jack LltlClx't’tl down and stepped back.
The shot whistleti over the place where he had just now stautl.
But Jacl was no loiiger there.

He sunk to his arm pits.
llis sti'ii<.;zles to free himself sent him down still farther‘-tlie sand

Jack stopped strizggliiig, anti began to shout,
But he was too far away to see the camp.
Wt ther his voice was lieard or not lit: could not tell.
" liarryl llarry!" he shouted. “ ’l‘ho eiiemy is upon us!

Suddenly he saw 'l'ull(a iuii otit into the Wady and loo"
down.
But unioi'tiinately the Ahyssinizm could see no one.
The shots had ceasetl-perliaps it was these rather than Jack's crv
