Slowly she drew away, while he followed her, awful to see.
Illustration
Stephen came to his support, and, grappling with an Arab, dashed his head against the gate post so that he fell

Then his strength was shaken with sobbing.
Illustration
Then madness came upon him.
Illustration
There, gleaming whitely in the gathering twilight, was the dead face of my mother.

The silent isle.

The torn web fell.

Baleka looked up, and gave a cry of fear.
Illustration
He lifted the spear... and drove it down between the shoulders.
Illustration
He ran in upon her and smote her on the head.
Illustration
I gave it to both of you, O twin stars of the morning... in the dream of Chaka I gave it to both of you.

I shook my withered hand before him
Illustration
I smell out the Heavens above me.
Illustration
Now I knew that I had no more to fear, for I was king of the ghost-wolves
Illustration
O! people of the Langeni tribe... I am avenged upon you.
Illustration
Take thy servant, king: surely he 'sleeps in thy shadow.'
Illustration
That was the end of Dingaan, my father
Illustration
The ghost-wolves are at hand, damsel.
Illustration
Then it quivered, and was still for ever.

'I have to thank you for a great deal'
Illustration
It was he who sprang.
Illustration
Otter... suddenly burst into song.
Illustration
'Praise him, the Deliverer.'
Illustration
'So help us, God.'

Staggering to his knees, he stretched out his arms towards the rising sun.
Illustration
Then a small black object projected itself towards the feet of the sentry.
Illustration
This was what Leonard saw at length.
Illustration
'What are they?' said Philip
Illustration
At her feet—in a pool—was a dead man
Illustration
Their eyes met
Illustration
You remember my words when you lie a-dying

At the door he turned and looked at her
Illustration
'Sign,' he said. 'The light dies'
Illustration
'You shall pay for that Englishman'

Then it was that I came out from behind my curtain
Illustration
And thus I for the first time saw Cleopatra face to face.
Illustration
And thus I left her.
Illustration
And we went forth.
Illustration
And while I spoke, watching the stars, she sat and watched my face.
Illustration
An omen, royal Harmachis.
Illustration
As she spoke, the man with a great cry, gave up the spirit.
Illustration
Before me was Cleopatra, but oh! how changed
Illustration
Cleopatra
Illustration
He fixed his gaze on Cleopatra... as a man who is amazed
Illustration
I crown thee Pharaoh
Illustration
I seized him with my will and stare and drew him after me.

Oh those nights upon the Nile!

She held it to the light and gave a little cry

Still she sits like yonder Sphinx, and smiles

An almost naked white man was being slowly dragged towards the trap.
Illustration
Away went Gobo, high into the air.

Reflecting on my sins, I fought away like a fiend.
Illustration
So we gave over love-making and turned our attention to war
Illustration
The last thing I remember was Marie looking at me with her beautiful eyes

'I cannot, I cannot!'

'I'll not sign!... I have been tricked!'
Illustration
'It is—it is—Love!'
Illustration
'It is Ramiro...Ramiro the spy.'
Illustration
'I will show you how a gentleman treats dogs!'
Illustration
'Paid back! Paid back, Ramiro!'
Illustration
'Sixty hours to the very minute.'
Illustration
That very night Foy came.
Illustration
Then there came the sound of marching men.
Illustration
There, beneath the light of the guttering candles, they knelt.
Illustration
The white and terrified face of—Elsa Brant.
Illustration
They passed down the stairs.
Illustration
Thus... it was that Adrian first saw... Elsa Brant.
Illustration
Two men... bursting through the barrier of flaming wood.
Illustration
'You are Martha the mare.'

'Are you the Khania's other friend?'
Illustration
As he passed, he turned his face... it was that of a madman
Illustration
At one point she paused and I looked downwards
Illustration
'Ayesha, dost thou mean that thou art such a woman?'
Illustration
Ayesha tore off her veil and held it on high
Illustration
'By this poor earthly symbol, I create tee King of Earth'
Illustration
'Drive them out on to the mountain'
Illustration
From the east a single ray of upward-springing light
Illustration
He threw one arm round her slender form, while with the other he supported me
Illustration
He was hacking at the cord with it fiercely
Illustration
Holding him thus, she began to spak in clear and silvery tones
Illustration
Hurled it feet foremost into the fiery lake below
Illustration
In a second, the attempt had been made and failed
Illustration
In that darkened room she shimmered from head to foot like the water of a phosphorescent sea
Illustration
I saw Leo rolling over and over at grips with a great snow-leopard
Illustration
I seemed to see two glorious shapes sweeping upward on its bosom
Illustration
It rose, it stood up, a human figure
Illustration
'Ride fast, ride fast for safety, strangers'
Illustration
It was the CRUX ANSATA, the symbol of Life itself
Illustration
'See there!' he said, pointing to something dim and enormous
Illustration
'See, yonder is the mouth of the gorge where lived the cat-worshipping sorcerer'
Illustration
She bent over him and touched him with her lips upon the brow

Illustration
Slaves took the leading ponies by the bridle

'We go to accomplish our fate'

'What seeks my vassal, the Khania of Kaloon?'
Illustration
'Who is it? Who is it?' he exclaimed, blinking at me through a pair of horn spectacles
Illustration
With a murmered cry of 'Husband!' Ayesha cast her arms about her lover's neck

'In the king's name, stay!'
Illustration
'So, too, I curse you, Maldonado'
Illustration
The Lady of Blossholme.
Illustration
'We have plucked you bare between us, have we not?'
Illustration
That night a shape of glory seemed to stand by Godfrey's bed.
Illustration
'Here she is!' yelled one of them
Illustration
I went to a bridge I knew
Illustration
I, who myself was worshipped as a god
Illustration
Then, from between the wardens of the gates, flowed forth the helpers and the guardians seeking their beloved
Illustration
Then she remembered everything.
Illustration
I looked up. There advancing... very slowly... I saw Marie Marais!
Illustration
A dove, compadres!— A dove!

Illustration
'Am I among my own people of the Otomie?'
Illustration
'At length, de Garcia!' I cried in Spanish.
Illustration
A yard of steel flashed across me, and lost itself in the breast of the murderer priest.
Illustration
He fought, and desperately, thrusting at the empty air
Illustration
He never looked behind him: he knew what was there— death in the shape of a man!
Illustration
He raised his visor, and began to speak
Illustration
'When you will, Thomas,' she answered, placing her hand in mine.
Illustration
She drew me across the sill.
Illustration
The he drew, and we fell to it desperately
Illustration
'You lie, murderer!'
Illustration
We paddled for two hours or more across the lake
Illustration
So he fled straight on
Illustration
Nada the Lily
Illustration
I swear it, O King! I swear it by thy head
Illustration
I did up the bundle fast— fast
Illustration
Oh! my father, I thought you dead

How are you named, who are so fair?
Illustration
A cruel-looking knife and a naked arm projected through the panelling
Illustration
Castell declares himself a jew.
Illustration
'Lady,' he said 'this is no deed of mine.'
Illustration
'My name is Inez. You wander still, señor'
Illustration
The gale caught him and blew him to and fro.
Illustration
You mean that you wish to murder me.
Illustration
'You will have to fight me first, Peter.'
Illustration
I have made me a mat of men to sleep on... Victory! Victory!

'Spare my life, Egyptian, and my treasure is yours.'
Illustration
In an instant I... plunged into the river.

Illustration
It was a newly severed human head!
Illustration

Illustration
I saw the knife flash

God bless you all

Then he lifted himself upon one arm, and with the other saluted
Illustration
"Magepa the Buck"
Illustration
Jeekie... began to execute a kind of war dance
Illustration
Into the unknown
Illustration

"Magepa the Buck"

Illustration
As we were returning, Billali met us.
Illustration
Holly explores the silver casket.
Illustration
I sprang to my feet with a yell of horror, and, drawing my revolver, fired it.
Illustration
I took this cold fragment of mortality in my hands and looked at it.
Illustration
Next second her tall and willowy form was staggering back across the room, as though she had been shot or stabbed.
Illustration
'Oh, my lord,' I heard her whisper, 'so I have found thee.'
Illustration
One and all of us, save She, who stood up and stretched her hands towards the fire, sank down before it, and hid our faces in the sand.
Illustration
The curtain was drawn, and a tall figure stood before us.
Illustration
The next instant I felt Leo seize me by the right wrist with both hands.
Illustration
When the lamps were held up I saw that it was nothing but one vast charnel-house.
Illustration
'Why did you keep me standing there in the cold?' he asked.
Illustration
There were the thick lips, the fat cheeks, and the squat nose standing out with startling clearness.
Illustration
"Magepa the Buck"

Illustration
'I say that she is worthy of death'
Illustration
'Oh, Rachel, Rachel!' He moaned, 'Why will you haunt my sleep?'
Illustration
'Romans always make their own road'
Illustration
She looked up to the sky, half expecting to see the angel of the lord

She sprang forward, keeping in the shadow of the wall
Illustration
She stared, and there was the rock

Solitudinem Faciunt Pacem Appellant
Illustration
Suddenly he plunged headlong into the flames
Illustration
They cast a shower of stones, one of which struck her
Illustration
'Woe, woe to Jerusalem!'
Illustration
The dogs rushed about
Illustration
'Oh! My Beauty,' he said, 'so I have found you at last'
Illustration
'My! Isn't she a beauty?'
Illustration
Whereon he embraced first the marble and then me
Illustration
I saw a line of men walking towards me
Illustration
I made my last double
Illustration
Changed indeed, mysterious, wonderful

The great white road
Illustration
Guarded, guided by the Spirits of Dead Suns

A tall, grim black man was fighting the great lion.
Illustration
Oh, what a leap was that!
Illustration
The messengers returned.
Illustration
The people of Rezu shouted, 'Fly, Lulala is upon us with the witchcrafts of the moon'
Illustration
There, on the point of the pillar, stood Ayesha herself!
Illustration
I kissed her ivory hand
Illustration
There she sat, straight and still, and clothed in shining white and veiled
Illustration
'I want to open a road, Zikali, that which runs across the River of Death'
Illustration
In another moment that steel would have pierced his heart
Illustration
There are others where they came from
Illustration
'Way! Make way for the Marchioness of Morella!'
Illustration
'I cut him down, and by misfortune killed him'
Illustration
'And if I refuse these things?' asked Benoni

'Ah!' he said— 'The rod is the Mother of Reason'

Caleb... walked straight into the room
Illustration
He bent down and kissed the child
Illustration
Dingaan leapt up in his rage and terror.

'We must strike out for the Zambesi, Leo.'
Illustration
Facsimilie of the sherd of Amenartas one 1/2 size. Facsimilie of the reverse of the sherd of Amenartas, one 1/2 size.
Illustration
Down the slope they went before our rush
Illustration
'I drew the Wanderer's sword and sprang at Odin'
Illustration
I took her in my arms and kissed her
Illustration
Then it was that I came out from behind my curtain
Illustration
I took the bowl and held it under my nose.
Illustration
Outlined clearly against the sky, I perceived the devilish elephant of my vision
Illustration
The doors of the sanctuary were thrown wide and from between them issued— the goddess Isis of the Egyptians
Illustration
There came the huge elephant, Jana, at a slow, shambling trot.
Illustration
She stood quite still, afraid to move.
Illustration
'Begone, lest I send you on a longer journey'
Illustration
'Fear not! We follow! We follow!'
Illustration
Flinging to and bolting the door behind them
Illustration
Godwin, calm as ever, rode forward a few paces

Illustration
The Vision
Illustration
'Lady' he said, 'you will wonder to see me here after my letter to you.'

And turning half round, they one and all grasped the handles of their spears.
Illustration
The years roll by.

'Steer for your life, Mahomed!'
Illustration
We were thankful to clamber under the shade of a group of trees
Illustration
The lion managed to struggle on to the bank
Illustration
A very handsome and dignified native girl stood before me.

Illustration
As soon as we had alighted they gathered round us and examined us with curiosity
Illustration
'Thou art my chosen.'
Illustration
The woman next to Mahomed began to fondle him

There they stood, all four of them...staring at the white Benita
Illustration
'White maiden,' he said... 'For you at least I have good tidings'
Illustration
Loss of nerve... caused his foot to slip
Illustration
'Who gave you and your brother yonder your lives?'
Illustration
Behold! Before her lay the burst bag.

By way of answer Benita pulled up the horse

He looked like a panther about to spring.

Before me was Cleopatra, but oh! how changed

Who is this man who comes to gaze on fallen Antony?

Illustration
'Hilda, Hilda, here I am!'
Illustration
'Murderer!'

'How often, Angela, have I asked you not to stare me out of countenance'
Illustration
'What are they?' said Philip.
Illustration
'Father, they are cruel terms'
Illustration
'What I have to announce to you... is my son's engagement to Miss Lee, the lady on my right'
Illustration
Here they stopped for a moment to look at the vast expanse or ocean.
Illustration
At that instant a vivid flash... turned the darkness into the most brilliant day
Illustration
They observed a signal of distress
Illustration
'I had rather lose my life than lose you.'
Illustration
'Did I not tell you that this evil woman would bring evil news?'
Illustration
'You are bewitching me'
Illustration
With horror in her heart, she turned and faced him.
Illustration
'Come, life unending, I have conquered death!'
Illustration
'You think that you love me now.'
Illustration
She lay there before the stone symbol of inexorable judgment.
Illustration
At length, having examined me inch by inch, she saluted by raising her rounded arm and tapering hand.
Illustration
The eland stood at gaze.

To and fro swung the surging mass of struggling, stabbing humanity
Illustration
Our great Englishman gathered himself together and... hit him with all his force
Illustration
In another second we were all down on our stomachs sucking up the uninviting fluid
Illustration
I never saw a finer native
Illustration
I caught him by the arm and pulled him down
Illustration
'Thank God!' he said, with a sigh of relief, 'it is not my brother'
Illustration
Good sprang up with a profane exclamation

Food, too, was ready for us

The priestess held her lamp before its face
Illustration
Only their chief, a great yellow-toothed fellow who wore a necklace of baboon claws, remained
Illustration
And lifted the great curved knife, taking aim at the naked breast
Illustration
With a wild yell Gagool’s horrid ministers broke away in every direction
Illustration
Eddying here and there, coming forward, falling back
Illustration
Grow dark O Moon! Withdraw thy light, thou pure and holy one!’
Illustration
Sir Henry watched the desperate struggle with a kindling eye
Illustration
'Greeting! …the Lion’s greeting to the jackals that snarl around his heels!'
Illustration
'Hush-h-h-h!' Came from the patch of dark shadow behind Good’s head.
Illustration
Cut on one of these pillars we discovered the rude likeness of a mummy
Illustration
The female form… was of great though severe beauty
Illustration
This wicked old creature pouring out supplications, evil ones, no doubt, to the arch enemy of mankind
Illustration
'Hee! hee! white men,' sniggered Gagool... 'what did I tell you?'
Illustration
It is Foulata's voice! 'Oh, Bougwan! help! help!'

The search for treasure has brought many to a bad end, and we shall go to swell their number.

Illustration
'Who are you?'
Illustration
Maya
Illustration
'Can you read this writing?'
Illustration
'You shall pay for that, Englishman.'
Illustration
'This is your doing, woman! Are you not afraid?'
Illustration
I did not so much as suffer my eyelids to tremble.
Illustration
So beautiful was this bubble... that for some minutes Maya watched it.
Illustration
Presently the curtain was drawn, and the lady Maya joined us.
Illustration
'It is I, Zibalbay, your lord, come home.'
Illustration
For a moment he stood before her.
Illustration
Next came Maya herself.
Illustration
'You– false Lady of the Heart!'
Illustration
She was mad.
Illustration
Presently the great pile was alight.
Illustration
Struggled on all day
Illustration
Messengers had come from the King
Illustration
At one point she paused, and I looked upwards.
Illustration
'The most lovely plant... that man ever saw'
Illustration
Reaching Stephen before the Pongo, she thrust herself between him and them
Illustration
Drawing a knife from his girdle he thrust out the tip of his tongue and pricked it
Illustration
I aimed at the huge head and let drive.
Illustration
Delgado was asked for his version of the affair.
Illustration
'I am Komba, the Accepted-of-the-gods.'

'Look, O Stephen, the flower has been brought back.'
Illustration
One of the hunters was killed.
Illustration
...passed it through the flame of the centre one of the three fires.

'Shall we shoot, Imbozwi?' asked the voice of the captain of the archers.
Illustration
Stephen came to his support, and, grappling with an Arab, dashed his head against the gate post so that he fell.
Illustration
The Motombo.
Illustration
The king himself went with us to the west gate of the town.
Illustration
At length found ourselves in the august presence of Bausi
Illustration
For a long while we stared at each other
Illustration
Presently I heard him him call to me in a horrified voice.
Illustration
Indeed, in that moment she was lovely.
Illustration
There... stood the child Suzanne, and leaning on her shoulder... a boy
Illustration
Black clutching hands caught feet and bridle rein
Illustration
He drew the sharp edge of the spear across the lashing
Illustration
In this eagles' eyrie... Suzanne sat... watching ever
Illustration
I struck him with all my strength
Illustration
She slipped from his back
Illustration
'Sign,' he said... 'the light dies'
Illustration
Slowly the snake-like line pressed forward
Illustration
'Spare me, and I shall bring you good luck'
Illustration
'The dog lives yet,' raved Swart Piet
Illustration
'I promised you a flogging'
Illustration
And while I spoke watching the stars, she sat and watched my face
Illustration
Greeting, Harmachis. So my messenger has found thee!

He fixed his gaze on Cleopatra... as a man who is amazed.
Illustration
A cruel-looking knife and a naked arm projected through the panelling
Illustration
In another moment that steel would have pierced his heart
Illustration
Margaret appeared descending the broad oak stairs
Illustration
'My name is Inez. You wander still, Señor'
Illustration
'To-day I dare to hope that it may be otherwise"
Illustration
'You mean that you wish to murder me'

While she watched him curiously.

Was it a swoon, or sleep?

At one point she paused and I looked downwards
Illustration
Ayesha held up her hand, in which there was no weapon.

Now she lifted her sceptre and the chant ceased

As Ayesha passed her, the maddened Khania drew a hidden dagger and struck
Illustration
In the full flood of the light... stood the Khania
Illustration
...tossed her arms, waving the torn, white veil as though it were a signal cast to heaven
Illustration
The tough hide was cut half through
Illustration
It was stirring
Illustration
Owen eats the fruit.
Illustration
A very picture of gentle despair.
Illustration
Maya
Illustration
'Can you read this writing?'
Illustration
Out of the mouth of the pit... sprang a vast column of water
Illustration
Presently the great pile was alight.
Illustration
'This is your doing, woman! Are you not afraid?'
Illustration
'It is I, Zibalbay, your lord, come home.'
Illustration
It was... Zibalbay,... come back from the boundaries of death.
Illustration
'Oh! that I were free to avenge you!'
Illustration
Presently the curtain was drawn, and the Lady Maya joined us.
Illustration
She was mad.
Illustration
The mass of stonework fell, ... taking Molas with it.
Illustration
'You— false Lady of the Heart.'
Illustration
'You shall pay for that, Englishman.'
Illustration
I did not so much as suffer my eyelids to tremble.

So beautiful was this bubble... that for some minutes Maya watched it.

'A dove, compadres!— A dove!' He shouted

'There are others where they came from'

He returned presently with a letter

'I cut him down, and by misfortune killed him'

How went the bridal night
Illustration
There she hung her feet resting on the shelving bank
Illustration
Hall the liar rows ashore
Illustration
I looked up. There, advancing... very slowly... I saw Marie Marais!
Illustration
So we gave over love-making and turned our attention to war
Illustration
It was the king vulture falling from the heavens— dead!
Illustration
The last thing I remember was Marie looking at me with her beautiful eyes
Illustration
Marie
Illustration
'Are you the little Allan Quatermain who is coming to learn French with me?' she asked in Dutch
Illustration
On up the slope they came in long, wavering lines
Illustration
I lifted the pistol, and the bullet that had been meant for Marie’s brain scattered that of the first of them
Illustration
'But,' I added slowly, 'if you like, when I am a bit stronger I’ll shoot you a match for her'
Illustration
I aimed at the first fellow, holding about eight yards ahead of him to allow for his pace
Illustration
'Mynheer Pereira,' he added in a great voice, 'you are a cheat, who have brought disgrace upon us Boers'
Illustration
'And I tell you, Marie, what I have told you already, and you too, Allan, that this thing may not be,' answered Marais
Illustration
I galloped home down the rock-strewn slope, wishing that the horse would stumble and break my neck
Illustration
There, advancing from the doorway of one of the houses... and leading by the hand a mere skeleton of a child... I saw—I saw Marie Marais!
Illustration
For a long while he stared at me... Then he said, 'Allemachte! you remind me of someone, young man!'
Illustration
'Ah! here you come, Hernan Pereira,' she cried, 'riding on an ox, while better men walk'

Marie herself appeared within the circle of the camp-fire’s light. I sprang up and ran to her

'Then it is your last thought, murderer,' I answered, raising my rifle

Seizing a flaming bough from the fire, that intrepid woman ran at the lion and... thrust the burning end... into its throat

'Then you will keep her dead, O Dingaan,' I replied, 'for there is more of that magic which slew the vultures.'

She stood quite still, afraid to move

She held the lamp above her head, and by its light perceived a figure standing between her and the entrance to the cave
Illustration
Loss of nerve... caused his foot to slip

At last Meyer grew furious... and began to threaten

Then again Chaka speaks: "Charge! Children of the Zulu!"
Illustration
Chaka sank down on the tanned ox-hide, and lay there dying
Illustration
Umslopogaas smote as he rushed, and the blade of the great spar that was lifted to pierce him fell to the ground hewen from its haft
Illustration
The Watcher also was up; but he fell like a fallen tree, and was the death of one
Illustration
They began to fall in a torrent of men, women, and children, far back into the black depths below
Illustration
The wolf, knowing that she was hurt, seized her by the throat and worried her
Illustration
Then he lifted the spear in his hand, and drove it down between the bull's shoulders
Illustration
Umslopogaas set his teeth and charged at her. She lifted a great stone and hurled it at him
Illustration
'Catch him on the spears!' cried Umslopogaas
Illustration
They looked up and saw Nada pass, very fair to see, having flowers twined among her hair
Illustration
'Be quite, Koos!' I whispered to him
Illustration
This man shouted out loud and charged me, shield and spear up
Illustration
Then the lioness sprang upon him and worried at him. Still, because of the shield, as yet she could not come to him to slay him
Illustration
Wondering at the greatness and the fierce eyes of the man who spoke to her, 'Who are you?' she asked
Illustration
Umslopogaas stooped his shattered head, and kissed the Lily's little hand
Illustration
The End
Illustration
The captain neared the raging fire; we saw him lift his shield to keep off the heat; then he was gone
Illustration
Umslopogaas leaped upon him, and seized him with his hands, lifting no weapon
Illustration
In
Illustration
The end of the rope was made fast round my middle, and I was lowered bodily into those sacred depths
Illustration
For a moment they wavered, thinking to slay me also, but in the end they passed on, bearing the head of my foster-brother
Illustration
And as I knelt, a cloud grew upon the face of the moon and covered it up
Illustration
Now
Illustration
There I found Antony, laid upon the golden bed of Cleopatra; and she, her face stained with tears, knelt at his side
Illustration
Charmion
Illustration
'Oh, Cleopatra! Cleopatra, thou Destroyer! If I might but tear thy vision from my heart!'
Illustration
On
Illustration
'O ye Gods of Egypt! who have deserted me, to you no longer will I pray, for deaf are your ears unto my crying and blind your eyes until my griefs!'
Illustration
Ere
Illustration
'Ah!' said the Queen, with a hard laugh, 'the slave died wondrous hard, and fain would have drawn me with him. See, he hath borrowed my garment for a pall! Take him away and bury him in his livery'
Illustration
Glad
Illustration
A woman entered, clad in the Grecian robes. It was Charmion.
Illustration
Once
Illustration
The did Amenemhat once again draw nigh and place upon my brow the pshent, and on my head the Double Crown
Illustration
I looked up, and thus torn, panting, my white garments stained with the blood that had rushed from the mouth and nostrils of the might Nubian, I for the first time saw Cleopatra face to face
Illustration
Thus
Illustration
'Be pleased to fix thy princely gaze upon the point of this wand in my hand.' .... I slowly moved backwards till I had passed the gates, still drawing him after me
Illustration
All were dead. The host of Zuide was no more.
Illustration
'Thou hast said it,' he cried, 'and thou alone! Listen, ye people! I did the deed!'
Illustration
Nada, in her fear and folly, seized the stone and dragged on it.... It shook, it slipped over the socket ledge, and rolled home
Illustration
Galazi spoke in the circle of the wolves, while Umslopogaas leaned upon his axe
Illustration
Gazing at the huts was a man, tall and slim, holding an assegai in one hand and a little shield in the other. | Zinita had climbed the hut, and now lay there in the dark, her ear upon the smoke-hole, listening to every word that passed.
Illustration
He fell down dead, and the lion stood and roared across him
Illustration
And
Illustration
At
Illustration
And all the while she sits like yonder Sphinx, and smiles; and no man hath ever read all the riddle of her smile
Illustration
On
Illustration
In silence we passed into the Shrine of Isis
Illustration
In
Illustration
Then of a sudden the end of the chamber became luminous, and in the wild white light I beheld picture after picture. I saw the primeval Nile rolling through deserts to the sea.
Illustration
That
Illustration
'Let Pharaoh hearken unto his handmaiden'
Illustration
On
Illustration
Charmion lifted the chaplet from Cleopatra's brows, and bearing it to where I was, with a smile set it upon my head
Illustration
At
Illustration
Cleopatra swept in, royally arrayed, her dark hair hanging about her and the sacred snake of royalty glistening on her brow
Illustration
I
Illustration
'If thou canst, forget my folly.... I am now, as ever, thy servant and the servant of our cause. Farewell'
Illustration
It
Illustration
She raised herself, and, bending the harp toward her, struck some wandering chords thereon
Illustration
Once
Illustration
Amidst the blare of trumpets came the Roman in. And while the heralds called out his name, titles, and offices, he fixed his gaze on Cleopatra
Illustration
That
Illustration
A mighty bat flew forth... Cleopatra uttered a cry of terror, and the eunuch, who was watching, fell down in fear
Illustration
We
Illustration
'It is too late to ponder,' she answered, lifting her white and beauteous face and fixing her blue eyes all big with terror upon mine own.
Illustration
Presently
Illustration
Night after night, for these four happy nights, the last happy hours I was ever to know, we sat hand in hand upon the deck and heard the waters lip the vessel's side, and watched the soft footfall of the moon as she trod the depths of Nile
Illustration
And
Illustration
Brennus, with an oath, seized first one and then another and cast them from me
Illustration
Cleopatra
Illustration
From her ear she took one of those great pearls, and before any could guess her purpose, she let it fall in the vinegar
Illustration
For
Illustration
A great wave came and swept me, riding, as it were, upon the spar, past bulwarks of the galley where the fierce-faced sailors clung to see me drown
Illustration
I
Illustration
There in his carven chair sat my father, Amenemhat, clad in his priestly robes. At first I thought that he was dead, so still he sat; but at length he turned his head, and I saw that his orbs were white and sightless
Illustration
These
Illustration
In the morning I awoke, wondering, and went to the mouth of the tomb; and there, coming up the valley, I saw the messengers of Cleopatra, and with them a Roman guard. 'What will ye with me now?' I asked sternly

Saduko and Umbelazi were fighting there

Stretching out his hand, he patted her on the arm
Illustration
Begone, lest I send you on a longer journey
Illustration
The guards had caught its bearer
Illustration
The helm was torn from his head

To and fro they reeled and staggered

Down they went, and down

Then uprose hand, and spear, and scimitar

Bent the knee before her

The Brethren

Hurrying him to the entrance of the tent

At length he came to Ascalon

Hesitated a moment, then lifted it to his lips
Illustration
Calmly enough the brethren took, each of them, the box that was nearest to him
Illustration
'Bless me, father, and bid them strike'
Illustration
The Brethren
Illustration
It is Rosamund herself—Rosamund disguised as Masouda
Illustration
At the door we kissed and parted weeping
Illustration
Stood over her still shape as a man stands in a dream
Illustration
He turned him about and drew his great sword
Illustration
The patriarch raved and stormed
Illustration
To be continued
Illustration
Women and children threw themselves down before her
Illustration
It was the face of Godwin
Illustration
Calling her 'saint and deliverer'
Illustration
So help us, God!
Illustration
Crouched upon a stone... sat a tall and withered woman
Illustration
'Ah! Yellow Devil,' the dwarf cried as he swung, 'look behind you.'
Illustration
Then a small black object projected itself towards the feet of the sentry
Illustration
Staggering to his knees, he stretched out his arms towards the rising sun
Illustration
It was he who sprang
Illustration
'I have to thank you for a great deal'
Illustration
Praise him, the deliverer
Illustration
This was what Leonard saw at length
Illustration
At last the headman Peter... went mad with fear
Illustration
Holding out his hand above her as though in blessing
Illustration
Company by company it rushed past them
Illustration
Otter... suddenly burst into song
Illustration
Nam hurled himself backwards
Illustration
They had left the road of ice and were flying through the air
Illustration
'Be noble of be base'
Illustration
Rosamund clasped the hem of the royal robe
Illustration
Standing on the promontory above the sea, Rosamund looked a very queen
Illustration
A moment the stallion hung, then sprang out wide and clear
Illustration
One blow—there was no time for more
Illustration
On they surged with flashing spears and scimitars
Illustration
Struck the steel aside
Illustration
Wild-looking men began to scramble aboard at the low waist of the galley
Illustration
To and fro they reeled and staggered
Illustration
She stood looking at him quite unmoved
Illustration
In front of him stood a number of folk... who bargained with him
Illustration
The bullet hit the man beneath me somewhere

We started in a crouching attitude

To and fro they swung... straining with all their mighty muscles for dear life

Turned and flung his assegai straight into the elephant's face

'Ruined!' he said to himself

'Why are you looking at me?' she said

He saw Edward Cossey put his uninjured hand to his head

Out together, out with a yell of despair

Terror seized him while he looked

I kissed it

From the first touch of the bow Morris knew that he was in the presence of a mistress

There, poised at the extreme point of the sloping forecastle, was the woman to whose siren-like song he had been listening
Illustration
I take your soul to mine, I give my soul to yours
Illustration
Morris looked up, and lo! there before him, unexpected and ineffable, was Stella!
Illustration
Murderer!
Illustration
Arthur rushed promptly forward
Illustration
Murderer!

He caught sight of a white skirt, then his eyes travelled upwards
Illustration
'I should have done better to let you die, monster of wickedness and ingratitude that you are'

It was Angela

Gradually her eyes became riveted on the glass before her

The dog... had instantly launched itself at the striker's throat

'There, girl, in the chair—look how it glares at me!'

To the ivy he clung desperately, striving to find foothold with his heels

'Now,' she said, as Samuel rose slowly from the mire, 'listen to me'

These two lay there silent, locked in each other's arms among the graves
Illustration
Lady Graves and her daughter entered the hall
Illustration
'I am not sentimental, but ... I's marry a Russian Jew rather than see the old place go the dogs'
Illustration
Joan Haste
Illustration
I think that we have met before
Illustration
'What an insufferable man!' was Henry's inward comment
Illustration
'I gathered, Mr. Milward, that you are not very quick of comprehension'
Illustration
'I will tell you how matters stand'
Illustration
Mr. Levinger grew curiously excited
Illustration
A vivid sunbeam fell full upon the girl's pale countenance
Illustration
It would have spared me a great deal of agitation
Illustration
Ellen took in the situation at a glance
Illustration
So Edward wrote first and went afterwards
Illustration
He chanced upon Emma

'I have lived my life, Levinger, and I am fading away'

'Pity that you made up your mind to go, Captain Graves'

'I will say no more; you know what I mean'
Illustration
Joan Haste
Illustration
'I want the doctor, please, miss'

They... set out upon the long trudge back to Bradmouth

The doctor.... began to examine Joan's shoulders

'My poor boy,' said Lady Graves
Illustration
Joan was Henry's most constant attendant

'Let me grieve' she answered

She.... watched him while he slept

He seated himself in a gingerly fashion

He heard the workmen nailing the hatchment of the departed baronet beneath his window

'Of course,' went on the lawyer

Taking up the crutch, ... Henry hurled it straight at him
Illustration
Very soon you will live to regret that you dared to put such a deadly affront upon me
Illustration
I have not come here to lecture you
Illustration
'How can I tell you what I don't know, aunt?'
Illustration
'Look here, Willy. If you say another word about me and Sir Henry Graves, I'll get out and walk'
Illustration
Joan Haste
Illustration
He went to the window and stood with his face to the light
Illustration
'Do not kiss me'
Illustration
The poor girl began to sob as she walked
Illustration
'I may as well tell you that it is all nonsense'
Illustration
Her wardrobe was not large, but then neither was the box
Illustration
'Graves,' he said, 'think again before you say that'
Illustration
'One word, my dear,' said Ellen, halting

'What do you know of the history of the case, Mrs. Bird?'
Illustration
Mrs. Bird posted it with her own hands
Illustration
'Here's some luck at last, anyway'
Illustration
Mrs. Gillingwater glanced at him out of the corners of her eyes
Illustration
Mrs. Gillingwater had leisure to observe the room
Illustration
He shot his long arm across the table
Illustration
'You remember my words when you lie a-dying'

Joan Haste
Illustration
Amid showers of slippers and rice
Illustration
'What conclusion have you come to, Henry?'
Illustration
Thomson announced that the boy was ready
Illustration
I feel stronger than I have in weeks
Illustration
It flashed across her that this person was Mr. Samuel Rock
Illustration
'Surely you are Lady Graves?'
Illustration
Joan Haste
Illustration
'Just what I expected: how good he is!'
Illustration
He lied boldly, answering, 'That is my name'
Illustration
Samuel picked up the book
Illustration
Joan's mind was very much of a blank
Illustration
'Impossible! It must be a hoax!'
Illustration
'And now for Heaven's sake get out of my way!'
Illustration
'Here I am,' said Mr. Levinger

'I will be your wife, Sir Henry'

Joan found a dogcart waiting for her

The dying man... let fall his hands

Helping his wife out of the carriage

'I have things that I must tell you in private'
Illustration
'Oh! my God, this is more than I can bear'
Illustration
The terrified beast broke into a gallop
Illustration
A tongue of flame shot out
Illustration
'Dead! shrieked the madman— 'dead, dead!'
Illustration
Henry dashed forward and knelt down
Illustration
Oh! Joan, Joan, my darling
Illustration
'Oh, this is terrible, terrible!' said Lady Graves
Illustration
'My mind is made up, so talk no more'
Illustration
'At one point she paused, and looked downwards'
Illustration
'See there!' he said, pointing to something dim and enormous
Illustration
'Who is it? Who is it?' he exclaimed, blinking at me through a pair of horn spectacles
Illustration
Such was our introduction to the Monastery
Illustration
A
Illustration
Dragging the animals down the snow-slopes
Illustration
'Why dash yourselves against a rock?'
Illustration
He was hacking at the cord with it fiercely
Illustration
Oh!
Illustration
Throwing one arm about her slender form, steadied himself thus, while with the other he supported me
Illustration
'Man! have you dared—?'
Illustration
Slaves took the leading ponies by the bridle
Illustration
As he passed, he turned his face... it was that of a madman
Illustration
To be continued
Illustration
Horrified
Illustration
We disembarked upon a quay
Illustration
'Are you the Khania's other friend?'
Illustration
'I saw you born, the son of an evil woman'
Illustration
We
Illustration
'Ride fast, ride fast for safety, strangers!'
Illustration
'I felt my bones crack in its mighty jaws'
Illustration
'We go to accomplish our fate'
Illustration
At length it seemed to lift its paw and strike the girl upon the face
Illustration
One
Illustration
Ran to Leo, knelt before him, and kissed his hand
Illustration
She grew white and silent as the corpse upon the bier behind her
Illustration
'What seeks my vassal, the Khania of Kaloon?'
Illustration
'Let the books be opened!'
Illustration
Hurled it feet foremost into the fiery lake below
Illustration
Alone in the shadow of the pylon
Illustration
Leo knelt down and kissed her on the brow
Illustration
She bent over him and touched him with her lips upon the brow
Illustration
In a second the attempt had been made and failed
Illustration
'What have you to say, Horace?'
Illustration
The betrothal
Illustration
A shadowy Shape arose before the throne and bent the knee to her
Illustration
'Ayesha, dost thou mean that thou art such a woman?'
Illustration
To be continued
Illustration
In that darkened room she shimmered from head to foot like the water of a phosphorescent sea
Illustration
I saw Leo rolling over and over at grips with a great snow-leopard
Illustration
'Drive them out on to the Mountain!'
Illustration
She took a map, and, placing her finger upon Pekin, said: 'There is the place that shall be our home'
Illustration
When we entered, two priests were at work there
Illustration
She thrust the glowing substance up almost to the mask that hid my face
Illustration
'Look, yonder is the mouth of that gorge where lived the cat-worshipping sorcerer'
Illustration
He poured some strong fluid down my throat
Illustration
Ayesha tore off her veil and held it on high
Illustration
Ayesha waved her arm, and the knife fell from Simbri's hand
Illustration
He took up his bundle of vultures’ feathers, selected one with care, held it towards the sky, then passed it through the flame of the centre one of the three fires
Illustration
Delgado was asked for his version of the affair

I heard him call to me in a horrified voice

Illustration
The Battle of the Gate
Illustration
From the window of the room wherein I write I can see the peaceful valley of the Waveney. Beyond its stream are the common lands golden with gorse, the ruined castle, and the red roofs of Bungay town gathered about the tower of St. Mary’s Church
Illustration
‘If the señor will graciously express his wish in Spanish,’ I said, speaking in that language, ‘it may be in my power to help him’
Illustration
So I went and waited under the beech with a beating heart, and presently Lily glided up to me
Illustration
‘These are the records,’ he said, ‘though none can read them except myself'
Illustration
She thought a while, then drew off her cloak, displaying the robes of a nun.
Illustration
'This one is alive also and does not seem so sick,’ said a man
Illustration
Then, having donned a scarlet cloak, the head priest, that same who had felt my heart, uttered some kind of prayer
Illustration
‘Greeting, Guatemoc my cousin,’ she said in a sweet voice
Illustration
Now Montezuma stepped from the shadow and stood face to face with the dead.
Illustration
Last of all came Otomie
Illustration
For some minutes we lay thus side by side, and as we lay a great wonder and gratitude grew in my heart
Illustration
All that I could see was a gleam of armour in the mud. I threw myself upon it, gripping at the wearer’s throat, and together we rolled down the side of the causeway into the shallow water at the edge of the lake
Illustration
‘A mirror! Swift, bring me a mirror!’ I gave her one, and rising on her arm, eagerly she scanned her face
Illustration
and there it lay still and dreadful among the gems and gold
Illustration
‘Your pleasure, general?’ ‘Greeting to you, comrade,’ answered Cortes. ‘You know this renegade?’
Illustration
Quick as thought she drew the sword from the grass and smote with all her strength upon the man’s bent neck
Illustration
As I came, a zaphilote alighted on the head of the body that hung nearest to me
Illustration
Naked to the waist, his hands bound behind him, his grizzled locks hanging about his breast, his keen eyes fixed upon the faces of his heathen foes in menace rather than in supplication
Illustration
Thrice they cried it, each time more shrilly than before, then suddenly they were GONE, the women of the Otomie were no more!
Illustration
Surely, I thought, he will await me now. But even I had not fathomed the depth of his terrors, for de Garcia... looked towards me, then fled forward on his feet
Illustration
And there in the quiet light of the June evening I knelt in the chancel upon the rushes that strewed the grave of my father and my mother, and sent my spirit up towards them in the place of their eternal rest, and to the God who guards them
Illustration
A tall man of about thirty, with the remains of great personal beauty, came hurrying in, staggering beneath the weight of a massive iron box
Illustration
At last the lock yielded, and the casket stood before us
Illustration
The top of the peak, which was about eighty feet high by one hundred and fifty feet thick at its base, was shaped like a negro’s head and face
Illustration
I drew my revolver, and fired it by a sort of instinct straight at the diabolical woman who had been caressing Mahomed
Illustration
I took this cold fragment of mortality in my hand, and looked at it in the light of the lamp with feelings which I cannot describe
Illustration
'Behold the house of She-who-must-be-obeyed,' said Billali. 'Had ever a queen such a throne before?' 'It is wonderful, my father,' I answered
Illustration
The hand grasped the curtain, and drew it aside
Illustration
When the lamps were held up I saw that it was nothing but one vast charnel-house
Illustration
Next second her tall and willowy form was staggering back across the room
Illustration
Even now, mayhap, She heareth us
Illustration
As we were returning Billali met us
Illustration
'It is safe,' she called
Illustration
Ayesha turned towards it, and stretched out her arms to greet it
Illustration
Next instant I felt Leo seize me by the right wrist with both hands
Illustration
Straightening herself with difficulty upon her tottering feet, Anna raised her staff and pointed with it
Illustration
I propose that you get us safely out of Cæsarea, or, if you prefer it, that we shall all die here in this grain-store, for, by whatever god you worship, Phoenician, before a hand is laid upon my mistress or me, this knife goes through your heart
Illustration
and she held the sleeping little one towards him, at whom he gazed earnestly, yes, and bent down and kissed it
Illustration
The bushes on their path were pushed aside, and from between them emerged Caleb, of whom she had seen but little of late. He halted and looked at them
Illustration
For one second they stood facing each other, very types of the Eastern and Western world...
Illustration
At the sight of him she coloured, letting the cloth fall from her hand, which remained about the neck of the marble. 'I ask your pardon, Lady Miriam,' said Marcus, bowing gravely, for breaking in thus upon your privacy, but time presses with me
Illustration
On a certain afternoon in one of the palaces of Tyre a man might have been sitting in a long portico, which overlooked the Mediterranean, whose blue waters lapped the straight-scarped rock below
Illustration
‘What land had the honour to bear the genius who wrought this work?’
Illustration
In the narrow street they caught sight of a thin, white-bearded figure, naked to the waist as though to show the hideous scars and rod-weals with which its back and breast were scored, still festering, some of them
Illustration
So exhausted was Miriam that she fell fast asleep
Illustration
The Jew who held the lantern, alarmed by the sounds within, entered hastily and, catching his foot against the body of a dead man who lay there, stumbled so that he fell upon his knee
Illustration
'Here is something else,' said the officer, drawing the roll of Marcus’s cherished letter from her breast. 'Not that, not that,' the poor girl gasped
Illustration
There in the red light of the sunset, with her hands bound, a placard setting out her shame upon her breast, and chained like a wild beast to the column of marble, Miriam was left alone
Illustration
The soldiers came on along the top of the wall till they feared to approach nearer to the fire. 'Yield!' they cried, 'Yield, fool, before you perish! Titus gives you your life'
Illustration
Now while he spoke thus somewhat at random, for he was watching her all the while, Miriam kept her eyes fixed upon his face, as though she searched there for something which she could but half recall
Illustration
'Because,' answered the President quietly, 'we did not think it fitting to deliver a child that was committed to our charge, to the care of one who had brought her father, and tried to bring her mother, his own seed, to the most horrible of deaths'
Illustration
O Cæsar, Titus here declared that all he has is mine. Yet when I ask him for the gift of one captive girl he refuses me. Command, I pray you, that he should keep his word'
Illustration
The wretched Jewish general, Simon, had sunk fainting to the ground
Illustration
No. 6 was the dark and splendid Jewess who had kicked the greasy-curled Eastern in the face
Illustration
She led her into a lighted passage, and thence through a door into a great and splendid room spread with rich carpets and adorned with costly furniture and marble images
Illustration
'Prince,' he cried, 'hearken ere you strike. You can kill me if you will who are justly angered, and to die at your hands is an honour that I do not merit'
Illustration
Caleb heard footsteps behind him and looked round to see Marcus advancing up the hall with a proud and martial air
Illustration
Not a hundred paces away from the carpenter’s shop where the master craftsman, Septimus, worked, was another manufactory, in which vases, basins, lamps, and all such articles were designed, moulded and baked
Illustration
Before the woman even had time to shut the door, he thrust it wide and walked straight into the room
Illustration
There in the ship 'Luna,' Marcus and Miriam, whom the Romans called Pearl-Maiden, were wedded by the bishop Cyril
Illustration
'Certainly,' said Ida, laughing; 'and if you find the treasure, we will go shares'
Illustration
'Janter is a warmint, and Major Boston, begging his pardon for the language, is an ass, sir'
Illustration
He turned slightly away, and said nothing
Illustration
When the World Shook
Illustration
Our eyes met, and I suppose that she saw the wonder and admiration in mine
Illustration
The crowd advanced, we standing quite still, looking as dignified as we could I, the tallest, in the middle
Illustration
Then she bent down ostensibly to pat Tomm...really, I knew, it was to hide her tears
Illustration
The captain came down into the saloon very white and shaken
Illustration
I hesitated till I saw Marama lifting the heavy wooden spear
Illustration
The man, shot through the heart, sprang into the air
Illustration
There suddenly appeared what looked like a gigantic man
Illustration
When the World Shook
Illustration
'O Friend-from-the-Sea,' called Marama
Illustration
Then the candles burnt up and we saw
Illustration
They rushed about battering each other with their fists and wooden weapons
Illustration
He started and stepped back, and for a moment seemed a little frightened
Illustration
When the World Shook
Illustration
Then she lifted a strange-looking, shallow, metal cup
Illustration
We looked and by degrees the vast space of the apse before us became alive with forms
Illustration
Still more and more of them came till the cities crumbled away
Illustration
'This was your wife,' she said
Illustration
I woke up to see him seated by my bed
Illustration
The motor-bus burst into fragments and its passengers hurtled through the air
Illustration
An officer stood between them with a drawn sword fronting the terrified child
Illustration
'But, oh! Humphrey, do not ask too much of the god of my people, Fate'
Illustration
As he spoke, the revolver flew out of Bastin's hand
Illustration
When the World Shook
Illustration
'I thank thee, God of my people from the beginning,' he cried
Illustration
I looked over the edge of this pit and shrank back terrified
Illustration
The shutter fell, and from behind it there sprang out a rush of living flame
Illustration
'Get you gone, and quickly, before my mood changes,' he said
Illustration
We struggled on desperately

The Ghost Kings

The counsellors and captains uttered a shout of rage, and two of the latter seized Ishmael by the arm, lifting their spears to plunge them into him

He passed his arms about her, drew her to him unresisting, and kissed her on the lips

'You devils, you have killed her!' gasped Mr. Dove, as lifting the pistol he fired at the Zulu nearest to him, shooting him through the body so that he sank upon the floor dying

Rachel waited to see the man she loved fall a shattered corpse, when one of the Kaffirs bolder than the rest, struck up the barrels with his kerry

Again the lightning flared and in it they saw her standing on the crest of the hut

Then in his torment and despair, of a sudden Ishmael threw himself backwards into the dark gulf beneath. Fifty feet and more he fell to the rocks below, and where he fell, there he lay till he died

Dingaan leapt up in his rage and terror, and seizing the bowl, hurled it from him

'Look into my features and study my form and carriage, and you may be disappointed in your bargain'

The curse of Cain fell upon him as he looked
Illustration
Death had been very gentle with her
Illustration
'I have not lost my temper, Madam, I am perfectly cool'
Illustration
He recognized the grey eyes and golden hair of little Angela Caresfoot
Illustration
Angela and her ravens

In a trice he measured his length upon the floor

'I would die rather than be your wife'

They sailed away together amidst the murmurs of the disappointed applicants

The Great Hall at Middalhof
Illustration
George turned white as a sheet and sank into a chair, cursing feebly
Illustration
'It is his writing,' she said, slowly
Illustration
'Look behind you!' she cried

Then he looked up, and there, stately and radient, her trembling arms outstretched to clasp him—was his lost Angela

Van de Werff called to his horse, and the grey began to gain. Montalvo lashed the black stallion, and once more they passed him. But the black was failing, and he saw it, for Lysbeth heard him curse in Spanish
Illustration
In another minute they had passed down the stairs
Illustration
So there, beneath the light of the guttering candles, they knelt side by side while Brant, speaking for both of them, offered up a prayer
Illustration
Dirk heard, and his ruddy face turned ashen grey. 'Cousin,' he replied, 'you seek of me the one thing which I must not give...without you, here I pay you back in your own words—I cannot, I cannot, I cannot'
Illustration
Lysbeth sat up in the bed and looked at the gaunt, powerful form, the deep-set grey eyes, the wide-spread nostrils, the scarred, high cheek-bones, the teeth made prominent by some devil’s work upon the lips
Illustration
Martin seemed to catch them round the middle, and behold! in another second the pair of them had gone headlong into the canal which ran down the middle of the street
Illustration
Martin had dealt his assailant such a blow upon the arm that the poniard jarred from his grasp
Illustration
When the World Shook
Illustration
At the threshold Foy turned to look at Hendrik Brant. He was standing by the table, the light shining full upon his pale face and grizzled head, about which it seemed to cast a halo
Illustration
The hero Adrian, overthrower of robbers, looked at the kneeling Elsa, and knew that she was lovely, as, under the circumstances, was right and fitting, and the rescued Elsa, gazing at the hero Adrian, admitted to herself that he was handsome
Illustration
Seated in a straight-backed chair, Montalvo saw a draped form. There was something forbidding, something almost unnatural, in the aspect of this form perched thus upon a chair in expectant silence
Illustration
Men appeared upon the bank, calling to know who dared to move the boats without leave
Illustration
Seated by the side of the bed, looking wonderfully sweet in the lamplight, which cast shadows from the curling hair about her brows on to the delicate face beneath, was Elsa Brant
Illustration
'It is—it is—love,' and he sank upon his knees before her, where, she could not noticing, he looked very handsome in the subdued light of the room, with his upturned face blanched by sickness, and his southern glowing eyes
Illustration
The doors were thrown open and a man—he was an executioner—came out carrying a sword in one hand and a bunch of keys on a salver in the other
Illustration
The monk bowed, and producing several folios of manuscript, laid them on the table, together with an ink-horn and a pen. 'Very well. And now, my young friend, be so good as to sign there, at the foot of the writing'
Illustration
Half a minute later two men bearing naked swords in their hands might be seen bursting through the barrier of flaming wood
Illustration
Foy’s long dagger went through the porter’s throat. A glance showed Foy that from him there was nothing more to fear, so he turned. 'Help if you can,' groaned Martin, as well he might
Illustration
Dirk locked his wife in his arms in a long, last embrace
Illustration
After him came the mob, and then began one of the finest man-hunts that was ever known in Leyden
Illustration
Men turned to see standing above them in the great pulpit of the church, a fierce-eyed, yellow-toothed hag, grey-haired, skinny-armed, and behind her two other women, each of whom held a torch in her left hand
Illustration
Elsa hung back at its ill-omened threshold. She even tried to struggle a little, poor girl
Illustration
When they reached the room below the bride was already there. Gripped on either side by Black Meg and the other woman, white as death and trembling, but still defiant, stood Elsa
Illustration
'Look out, Foy, she’s coming to herself.' Then someone poured wine down her throat, whereupon, unable to bear this bewilderment any longer, Elsa sat up and opened her eyes wide, to see before her Foy, and none other than Foy in the flesh
Illustration
It was all over in a minute, but before it was done there were five men down, three dead and two sore wounded
Illustration
Axe in hand rose the strange and dreadful figure of a naked, skeleton-like woman covered with mud and green weeds, and bleeding from great wounds in the back and sides. There it stood, shaking an axe at the terror-stricken Spaniards

That very night, Foy came, and with him Red Martin, his great sword Silence still strapped about his middle

Now she stopped, and turning to the right, pushed her way through the mimosas, and there beyond them was a dell, and in the centre of the dell a large flat rock, and on the rock a boy praying
Illustration
By him sits Suzanne, a soft kaross of jackal skins wrapped over her nightgown... talking in some words which for us have little meaning, and in a voice now shrill, and now sinking to a croon, while with one hand she clasps his wrist
Illustration
Now at last he gave me the paper to sign. Besides the candles on the table, which being of mutton fat had burnt out, there was a lamp fed with whale’s oil, but this also was dying, the oil being exhausted, so that its flame, which had sunk low
Illustration
Springing from the saddle she walked up to Piet, saying, 'Take what you seek, but oh! for your sake I wish to God that my lips were poison'
Illustration
'I promised you a flogging, but since it is chance that has conquered you more than I, I will take no advantage of it, save this—” and he struck him once or twice across the face with the whip'
Illustration
There beneath her, within a few paces indeed, for the ground sloped steeply to the stream, men were passing. The first of these was white, and he carried a white woman in his arms; the rest were Kaffirs
Illustration
Half seated, half lying upon a rough bedstead spread with blankets, was Suzanne. Her hair had come undone and hung about her, her feet were still loosely bound together, and as the Kaffir, Asika, had said, her face was like that of a dead woman
Illustration
In five minutes they were in the centre of the torrent, and here it ran with a roar and mighty force so that its waves began to break over the schimmel’s head, and they feared that he would drown
Illustration
That morning Suzanne, mounted upon the great schimmel, which by now had almost recovered from his weariness, although he was still somewhat stiff, passed up and down before Sigwe’s regiments that saluted her as chieftainess
Illustration
For a while there was silence, which presently was broken by Jan roaring at me in a loud voice as though I were deaf. 'Vrouw, let ons trek,' and, to give weight to his words, he brought his great fist down with a bang upon the table
Illustration
I looked, and just at my side I saw a great savage who had forced his way through the thorns and crawled beneath the waggon into the laager. The gun in my hand was empty, but by me lay an axe which I snatched up

On the top of the highest and most precipitous cliff of the mountain fortress of Umpondwana was a little knoll of rock curiously hollowed out to the shape of a chair, difficult to gain and dizzy to sit in
Illustration
Slowly the black snake-like line pressed forward through the white foam
Illustration
First Sihamba took a sharp knife, and with it cut off Suzanne’s beautiful hair close to the head, over which what was left of it curled naturally
Illustration
With a swift and awful rush, like that of a swooping bird, the dead woman and the living man plunged headlong into space
Illustration
One morning my great-grandmother finished dictating her history, the ending of which seemed to affect her much, for when it was done she told me sharply to put the typed sheets away and let her hear or see no more of them
Illustration
No everywhere above such portions of the beleagured city as remained standing, shot up tall spires and wreaths of flame. Titus had forced the walls, and thousands upon thousands of Jews were perishing beneath the swords of his soldiers or in the fires

She lifted her hands and placing one of them upon the heart of Inez, for a minute or more she swayed the other from side to side above her eyes
Illustration
Sad-Eyes shot one with a pistol and wounded another so that the spear fell out of his hand
Illustration
He brought me some beautiful flowers and made a long speech which I could not understand
Illustration
Then he looked at Inez and said he would like to buy her to be a wife for his chief
Illustration
Next he staggered about, waving his hands, cursing and shouting
Illustration
Recovering my axe I crept forward and opened the curtain-like rugs or blankets that covered Inez. 'Make no noise,' I whispered. 'It is I, Allan Quatermain, come to rescue you'
Illustration
At length all was ready and there came that long trying wait, the wait, the most disagreeable part of a fight
Illustration
Inez in her litter, with its escort of savages, was plainly visible on the opposing slopes of the mountain
Illustration
'I greet you, friends, in the name of Her I serve,' said this venerable man
Illustration
There she sat, straight and still, clothed in shining white and breathing mystery, beauty and power
Illustration
'She-Who-Commands looked in her glass,' he replied, 'and said that four would be needed'
Illustration
In the darkness of that holy place once more before me is her glory stood the Goddess Isis. In her great eyes were scorn and anger. 'O Ayesha' she cried sternly 'thou hast broken thine oath'
Illustration
In the darkness of that holy place once more before me is her glory stood the Goddess Isis
Illustration
Aye, I found them and in my presence the goddess executed her decree upon the false priest and drove his temptress back to the world
Illustration
He, too, had drunk of the Cup of the Fire of Life
Illustration
'Dog, would you singe my beard?' I cried in affected rage, and seizing the brand from his hand I smote him with it over the head
Illustration
'I wriggled up behind the man stuck my knife into his back where I thought it would kill him at once'
Illustration
Suddenly the man bent his frame almost double and leaped into the air, his great axe up-raised to strike
Illustration
There at my side was the veiled Ayesha herself, holding in her hand a little rod made of black wood inlaid with ivory not unlike a Field Marshal's baton, or a sceptre
Illustration
'Drink this and be a man once,' said Ayesha, offering me a strange-shaped cup
Illustration
In the heart of that flame I saw Ayesha with arms outstretched over the line of men who fell backward in front of her
Illustration
She placed her hand upon his heart saying: 'Stay! What meanest thou? Dost love me, Allan?'
Illustration
Then she took off a snake that looked as though it were made of gold with green eyes, and held it to your lips
Illustration
There on the point of the pillar like St. Simeon Stylites on his famous column, glowing in the sunset rays as though she were on fire, stood Ayesha herself

As I was in the act of removing the hideous little ivory image of Zikali, there came a sound of hissing and suddenly above the reeds and bushes appeared a giant black mamba

'Will you lift the curse of Nada off me, or will you not?' she demanded with a flash of her great eyes
Illustration
Then he stood up, and lifting his great axe, he saluted the Image with the word 'Makosi!'
Illustration
Then there was a most awful noise of roaring, and wheeling 'round I saw such a fray as never I shall see again

I answered that for the rest I would tell him later
Illustration
Then, while we waited, lo! two figures appeared far above on the icy tongue that no man may climb
Illustration
The ferryboat was cumbersome and we were swept down a long way before we could cross
Illustration
Here we stayed until the hounds passed the patch of bush
Illustration
The wretch writhed before the draped form and howled for mercy
Illustration
Who dost thou believe me to be?
Illustration
We drank of some liquor that he gave us
Illustration
'Arise,' she said, 'it is I should kneel to thee'
Illustration
'Thou art not mortal,' she wailed. 'How can I prevail against thee?'
Illustration
'I will go to death with them,' he said
Illustration
Ayesha veiled now—for she would not show her beauty to those wild folk—rode in the midst of the horsemen
Illustration
'Did I not warn Holly,' she whispered, 'to bid thee beware lest I should catch thy human fire?'
Illustration
Nada the Lily
Illustration
Fixed through the palm of her right hand ... a little ivory-pointed arrow
Illustration
After the priests came a second procession
Illustration
'Away with you woman,' answered Aziel

Illustration
That merchant hits hard
Illustration
In front tripped Margaret
Illustration
'A dove, compadres!— A dove!' He shouted
Illustration
He returned presently with a letter
Illustration
Took thence two flasks
Illustration
Castell praying in the secret chamber
Illustration
Margaret and Peter in the garden
Illustration
D'Aguilar meets Betty in Holborn
Illustration
Fray with Spanish cut-throats
Illustration
Castell declares himself a Jew
Illustration
How splendid and handsome he was
Illustration
He turned and saw her standing there
Illustration
Margaret appeared descending the broad oak stairs
Illustration
This ride was the first of several they took
Illustration
There sure enough stood d'Aguilar
Illustration
Time mendeth a broken heart
Illustration
Still Margaret doubted and hesitated
Illustration
'Is that the ship Margaret?'
Illustration
In another moment that steel would have pierced his heart
Illustration
Taking the road to Tilbury by which Margaret went
Illustration
Here spoke a fishing boat
Illustration
A little débutante
Illustration
The gale caught him and blew him to and fro
Illustration
Pinned to it was the velvet cap he wore
Illustration
'Lady,' he said 'this is no deed of mine'
Illustration
So there he sat, wondering if Margaret was dead
Illustration
'We are poor folk, to whom the saints send few wrecks'
Illustration
'Why did the wind blow an arrow through your arm, friend merchant?'
Illustration
'But look, now you must play the part'
Illustration
'My name is Inez. You wander still, señor'
Illustration
A cruel-looking knife and a naked arm projected through the panelling
Illustration
In earnest conversation with a fat, ill-favoured man
Illustration
Sitting with her chin resting on her hand
Illustration
Confidences
Illustration
Led by an old Jew dressed in a Moslem robe and turban
Illustration
'If you shut your eyes you can imagine that I am she'
Illustration
'Cousin, don't be a fool'
Illustration
'There are others where they came from.'
Illustration
To be continued
Illustration
'To-day I dare to hope it will be otherwise'
Illustration
She kissed her again and again
Illustration
One of them was trying to tear the veil from her face
Illustration
Entered into conversation with the governor of the prison
Illustration
'Hear me again,' she said
Illustration
A door opened, and through it came Morella
Illustration
'Did the señora say it was tight under the arm?'
Illustration
'I cut him down, and by misfortune killed him'
Illustration
When Margaret heard these words she sobbed aloud
Illustration
'Way! Make way for the Marchioness of Morella!'
Illustration
Gave him the accolade
Illustration
In the midst of them he vanished away
Illustration
To be continued
Illustration
Henriques grovelled on the ground before her, kissing the hem of her robe
Illustration
Bowed her greeting to the bridegroom
Illustration
'We are players in a strange game, my lady Margaret'
Illustration
'Many people found them hot enough,' grunted Smith
Illustration
Back bent Peter beneath the blow
Illustration
'You will have to fight me first, Peter'
Illustration
Something went wrong with the harness of the ass
Illustration
Like a bull with shut eyes she held dead upon her course

'It's a big order,' said Sir Henry, reflectively
Illustration
A Masai Elmoran
Illustration
We all examined it, and shook our heads
Illustration
Alphonse and his Annette
Illustration
It was a wonderful sight to see the little man fixed there
Illustration
It was a newly severed human head!
Illustration
I put on a light Norfolk jacket over my mail shirt
Illustration
The great zulu made a spring

We were met by the challenge of a sentry

The sister queens
Illustration
The High Priest of the country, and known by the name of Agon
Illustration
I did not like the look of his cold grey eye; Her cheek flushed, her eyes flashed
Illustration
I made a little sketch of a lake
Illustration
Of a man again uncommonly like Sir Henry, and of two women
Illustration
Servants, male and female, also were there to minister to us

Early Days
Illustration
He was dead
Illustration
The Fire-Fight
Illustration
I told him that the fire from above would not hurt white men
Illustration
'Indaba-zimbi, my friend,' I said, 'you may be a good witch-doctor, but you are certainly a fool'
Illustration
Mine must be a bad one seeing that my people wanted to kill me for exposing an impostor
Illustration
Northwards
Illustration
On rushed the elephant, awful to see
Illustration
I have shot many hundreds of them since, but have never again attempted to do so on horseback
Illustration
The Zulu Impi
Illustration
I dropped the reins and, raising my gun, fired point blank at the left-hand man
Illustration
Now the fight is going to begin
Illustration
The end of the laager
Illustration
'Forward sped the Zulus straight to the laager, striving to force a way in'
Illustration
I prefer to accept the first alternative
Illustration
Stella
Illustration
'See, sir, here is water in your own bottle'
Illustration
'Hendrika, Hendrika, bring the horses here!'
Illustration
The Baboon-Woman
Illustration
'See that the "Baboon-woman" does not run away into the mountains with the little white one'
Illustration
How long will it be before I find her once again
Illustration
The Marble Kraals
Illustration
Under her loving care the child had been quite transformed
Illustration
'Be careful, Macumazahn, or the Star will set!'
Illustration
'Let us go in, Allan!'
Illustration
Hendrika Plots Evil
Illustration
I never saw such a jump, and could not conceive what she meant to do
Illustration
At first my wife signed hers 'Stella' only, but her father bade her write it Stella Carson for the first and last time in her life
Illustration
At last I had, if only for a little while, found that rest
Illustration
Gone!
Illustration
The air resounded with the wailing of women, and the men went about with bowed heads
Illustration
In all we were about a hundred men
Illustration
The Magic of Indaba-Zimbi
Illustration
I looked through the passage and saw that the gulley was black with baboons
Illustration
The brutes streamed down the gloomy gulf towards me
Illustration
Furious at the loss of their two comrades, they obeyed me
Illustration
Wailing terribly, she rushed down the gully
Illustration
What Happened to Stella
Illustration
She gave one cry, then, as I caught her in my arms, she fainted
Illustration
At last I heard a faint shouting that reached me through the wall of rock
Illustration
Fifteen Years After
Illustration
Crouched by Stella's grave, and tearing at its sods with her hands, as though she would unearth that which lay within, was Hendrika
Illustration
Then she was gone
Illustration
"Hunter Quatermain's Story"
Illustration
'He has got me!' I shouted in mortal terror
Illustration
'I stood alone there before it, and wept like a woman'
Illustration
"A Tale of Three Lions"
Illustration
'It's gold, lad,' I said, 'or I'm a Dutchman'
Illustration
I rebuked him for flippancy, but in the end I consented to take him
Illustration
What Was Found in the Pool
Illustration
Jim-Jim is Avenged
Illustration
Just at that moment the rifle went off
Illustration
'Pass the water, will you!'
Illustration
"Long Odds"
Illustration
'Good-night to you all, good-night!'
Illustration
Allan and the Ice-Gods
Illustration
A lovely voice I knew whispered, 'Look upon one record of the past, O Doubter'
Illustration
'O Sleeper with a shape such as no man has ever seen, Wi throws out his spirit to you—hear you the prayer of Wi!'
Illustration
The next instant, Wi was up again, charging at Henga, who now grasped the club with a huge hand and swung it aloft to crush him...
Illustration
Running at the side of the leader, a great gaunt she-wolf, was Pag, the Wolf-man
Illustration
'Have I not told you that I am named a prophetess, or a Witch-from-the-sea?' La-leela asked sadly of Wi
Illustration
The boulders danced through the people—the ice flowed over then...
