You! Is it good or evil news?" "Balala, my pretty bird, I come to speak good words. Come! let us go where no listener can hear. " Strolling away together, the lovers soon found themselves in a forest of stunted palms, well con- cealed from prying eyes and listening ears. For some moments the young man gazed upon the dusky beauty in silent admiration. "And what may be thy great good news, Mak- wata ?" inquired Balala, coyly, as she smoothed her braided hair and plucked a fresh green palm-leaf in...to tiny shreds. Throwing his spear aside, Makwata placed his hand upon her shoulder: "This morning, when the sun was high, I went far into the forest yonder in search of game. I went alone. As I picked my way through the thorny bushes, I heard a sound. I stepped forward with- out noise. In front of me stood an old bull elephant —an elephant with long, gleaming tusks. He was sleeping; his body rested against a monster ant-hill. As I looked upon those large shining tusks I thought of you, Balala.
