THE WAR OF THE WOMEN.
Now on the morrow at daybreak, leaving his wolves, Galazi came down from the Ghost Mountain and passed through the gates of the kraal.
In front of my hut he saw Nada the Lily and saluted her, for each remembered the other.

Then he walked on to the place of assembly and spoke to me.
"So the Star of Death has risen on the People of the Axe, Mopo," he said.

"Was it because of her coming that my grey people howled so strangely last night?
I cannot tell, but I know this, the Star shone first on me this morning, and that is my doom.

Well, she is fair enough to be the doom of many, Mopo," and he laughed and passed on, swinging the Watcher.
