THE FATE OF AZU A;
Or, The South African Millionaire.
CHAPTER XXL—(Continued).
"Why, Azuma, we are both coming
in a few months, we are going to
spend Christmas there. What shall
I bring you from London for Christ-
mas, Amine?"
He spoke brightly, trying to make
what he told her of no importance,
ignorant of the storm which raged
within her, the hate, the grief, the
impotent wrath and hate, and the
realization of prediction, fulfilling it-
self, filling her with dreary, dumb de-
spair.
She had seen it in the sand, and the
pebbles that day, in the bright stars
that night, which for all the lamplight
and electric flashes across the sky
from the roofs of shops and buildings,
yet twinkled mysteriously, secretly
communicative, above, that she and
the Baas were going to part, that they
would never see each other again,
and that with her departure his for-
tunes would change.
She had seen it, and yet she attri-
buted her departure to the jealousy
of the beautiful white woman who
treated her, Azuma, the daughter,
too, of a great chief, as if she were
dirt, or at least a servant, a common
woman, and they would never have
been rich, never, if she, Azuma, had
not known the secret of the mine.
And that morning when Lady .1u-
dith had come to fasten on the brace-
let it was because she was afraid,
afraid that she would tell the Baas
dreadful things which the pebbles and
the sand had told her, and which she
had read in the stars, things about the
past of the beautiful white woman,
which if he knew ld ,nake hini
hate her.
And in her silence he read some-
thing ominous. Then gradually some-
thing of the old feeling for her had
returned, the pity which had been al-
most love in the old days when she
was the only woman near him, and he
had not known Lady Judith nor
thought of marriage. And he took
her silence for stony grief.
"Don't you want to help me, Azu-
ma, don't you want to go?"
"If I go,. trouble," she said stretch-
ing out her hand into the night.
It was as if she were uttering a
curde.
For one instant her manner, her ut-
terance alarmed him, he had been so
long accustomed to take her serious-
ly, and she had proven herself so often
right, that her words sent a cold
shiver down his back. This matter
was going to be more. difficult to
deal with than he had anticipated.
Ile felt inclined to be stern, while
something else made him feel that the
supreme sorrow of Azuma's life had
come to her, that he must deal gently
with this girl who, because her skin
was black, yet had a heart like other
women, perhaps a tenderer one than
many.
But he laughed at her suggestion,
it seemed the only thing to do, while
he told himself that she, of course,
did not know how he had protected
his fortune, placing funds in this bank
ti and that, in this country, and the'
other, in sohemes all over the world,
and he held the concession of every
available mine in South Africa. Ile
might not make all he expected to,
but be was already the richest man in
Europe, and if he lost some money he
could never lose all, unless the world
itself came to an end. To -night he
told himself with new gladness, that
even if all failed, the love of Judith,
her new gentleness and meekness were
the most valuable things he possess-
ed, that with it he could even meet re-
verses, that without it life would not
be worth living.
"You mustn't let trouble come,
Mime," he said lightly, "you must
prevent
But she shook her head.
"What can Azuma do?" she asked,
end he noted the sadness irt her voice.
"Well, there's no hurry, of Course,
•
if you don't want to do it, I'll have to
find somebody else."
There was a little note or irritation
in his speech.
"If the Baas tells me to go, I go,"
she said, presently. "When I go?"
"Oh, well, we can talk it over by
and by, to -morrow we'll see."
And because the whole scene was
distasteful, because he wanted to be
kind, he spoke of this and that, of his
business, of a hundred things.
When he left, she stood there gaz-
ing after him for a few seconds, while
a hundred thoughts coursed through
her brain.
It was not the Baas who wanted
her to go, it was the white woman,
Lady Judy, and she hated her.
When Adolphe told Judith what he
had done, she was silent for a few mo-
ments, then she said, with something
of dread in her manner.
"Somehow, Adolphe, 1 feel as if
perhaps we oughtn't to send her away,
not if she says all that. You know
that somehow I feel as if she were
really wrapped up in our fate, indi-
visible from it, and she has brought
me luck, too, you know."
CHAPTER XXII.
The next time Azuma and Judith
met, Judith was in Adolphe's arms,
seated by his side, on the wide divan
in the little room where they had tea
the day he proposed. She feel-
ing tired lately, and had not gone out
so much. London had grown very
hot, and in a few days they would be
leaving London, going abroad for a
few weeks and then returning to take
up their abode in the exquisite coun-
try home which Adolphe had been
busy adding to, and embellishing
whenever he could run away from
town.
To -night she had persuaded him to
go to a party without her at which he
wanted to meet someone on business,
but for which he did not like to de-
sert her. Now and then lately she had
said:
"I feel so lost in this big house
when you are away, although there
are so many servants, I always feel
that it is so huge, that something
dreadful might happen at one end of
it while no one would hear at the
other."
Adolphe had laughed at the idea, a
detective was always on watch guard-
ing the beautiful things, and the in-
valuable jewels he had heaped upon
his bride, while at night a watchman
walked about the house from roof to
cellar, while every modern device
against burglary and fire had found
its way to the palace in Park Lane,
putting aside the fact that outside
burly policemen patrolled the streets,
and that a small side door opentd
straight on to Park Lane itself,
Why, little u.eman, you are as safe
as if you were in an mon safe your-
self," he had told her, ascribing her
morbid timidity to her state of health.
And this evening she felt particularly
loth to let him go, while she knew
the necessity for his doing so.
To -night she looked particularly
lovely, dressed in a tea gown of some
yellow shimmering stuff with a girdle
of amber round her waist, and he
had never known her so caressing.
"Hulloa, Azurite." He had stooped
to kiss Judith's lips, as she lay with
her head so close to him, and as he
raised his head Azurite stood in front
of him holding out a letter.
He looked at the direction while she
held it, because one arm was around
Judith, and the hand of the other held
a cigar. Judith had not moved when
Azuma entered, treating her with a
sort of lazy indifference, as the white
races genera* treat the dark ones.
"Front Elliott, perhaps 1 needn't go
to -night, read it to me, Azunia, will
you, there's a good. girl."
"Oh, let me see what he says." ,Tu-
dith had meant nothing by her words,
nor by the gesture with which she
caught hold of Azuma's hand, and
took the letter gently from her.
"Azoraa, how pretty you look in this
room, I always think of you when I
tun here, de you remember the (ley
when you gave us
She wan opening the letter as she
spoke, talking with easy familiarity
to Azuma, Whom she was trying to
I win over in these clays.
• Yes it was true that Azuma seem-
ed to belohg to this room, and to -night
lit up, it was twice as pretty, the elec.,
trie light bringing outa little more
vividly the golden tracery in.the dark
slashed grey and black and brown of
the violet wood, and where she was
standing the rich dull red brocade cur-
tains made an exquisite background
to Azuma's shapely dark head.
For an instant, Judith without any
repugnance to the feeling of the dark
cool skin held Azuma's fingers with
her soft white ones while she scanned
the letter, but Adolphe looking up at
Amnia caught a look he had never
seen thee°, not, at all events, so
plainly visible.
"Let her read the letter," he half
whispered, and Judith did as he told
her, looking up suddenly a little sur-
prised at his tone.
"I can't read a word, the light some-
how doesn't fall properly. Yes,
Azuma, do read it to us and the two
lay back on the big satin cushions
with their arms around each other,
while Azuma read.
"Isn't she wonderful the way she
can read English?" Judith said half
aloud.
"What time does he say?"
He glanced at the clock.
"By George, it's late, he says that
he must see me to -night, you say?
Azuma."
"Eleven," Azuma repeated, "at
eleven he must see the Bans."
"Then the Baas must go. I shan't
be long, my darling.. He stooped and
kissed Judith again, and she sat up
on the divan and rearranged her dis-
ordered hair, while he sprang up the
stairs to change his coat.
In a few seconds he returned, and
found Judith chatting with Azuma.
"She's telling me all about the mine
that night when you both went out
in the night together, very improper
I call it," she said with a mischievous
laugh.
"Oh, we've done dreadful things,
haven't we, Azuma?"
Ile laughed, and Judith got up and
followed him across the big hall to
the front door and let him out her-
self.
"What an exquisite night, if I had
thought about it, I would have slip-
ped on something and driven with
you."
"Will you? I'll wait."
"No, it would make you late, you
have only just time, and I'm tired."
She yawned a little. "I'll go straight
to bed."
"Well, I shan't be long. She wateh-
ed him get into the carriage and drive
off, then she stood still for two or
three moments drinking in the night.
Then she pushed too the door and the
sound rang out through the house like
a final doom pronounced.
Then she stepped leisurely across
the well -lighted hall.
