Of what lay beyond. His will at length was
conquered, and time and love only were
needed to turn the strength hitherto so self
ish into beautiful lie of self-sacrifce. He
came back to me, his child, and we loved
each other.
u was 10 years old when he returned, "a
small, gentle child with my mothers eyes.
When he saw me, he fell to weeping,
and for days lay so i'll that his life was
despaired OF. The audacious will was laid
low. How my father loved mel how gentle
he was ever after that! taught him what
love was, he used to say; but am sure it
was he who taught me-"
sThe speaker: paused. buried his face in
his hands, and then, with frightened coun-
tenance, went on:
After that first burst of remorse, follow
ing so long period of rebellion and despair,
came years OF suffering, then calm and
calmer hope, and at last the peace Of per-
feet faith. My fathers later years were
filed with good deeds and an humble striv-
ing to help his fellowmen. He had learned
the lesson of life. As be told me, that sad
day when he died--'It is love, my boy, love.
Nothing will do but love-"
The story was told, and the three sat
silent for long time, each moved by his
own thoughts. At last the stranger arose
and, lifting his hat, turned to go. Then
the others rose also, thanked him in few
words and stood watching his departure. AT
the turn of the path there came to meet him
a sweet-faced woman and child, and their
meeting, as the boy was lifted to his
shoulder and the wife's face turned to his in
happy response to his greeting, told well
enough that his fathers lesson had been we'll
learned by the son.
As the two friends walked back down the
winding pathway, leaving behind them for
ever the quiet spot where so much had been
revealed, the elder asked:
John, 0y boy, is the problem solved?"
And John, from whose face all doubt
and disquiet had disappeared, rejoined:
'Yes, oh yes, indeedP' and then. added
softly: Nothing Will do but love.-NeaO

THE BABOOE AS AN EPICURE.
Eats Little of Everything, b ut Can't Stand
Arsenic.
Cape News.1

Cape News.l
The baboon, writes the GRAFT Reinet
AdUertiSer, seems to be changing its nature
with the changing climatic conditions. In
former years he was vegetarian, his worst
offense being stealing mealies in the gardens
when he got the chance. Now he has taken
to other ways of getting livelihood. Said
farmer the other day to brother farmer:
Have you lots of honey on your farm?"
Answer; "No; the balloons rob all the
nests.''
'How do they do 1t? the bees would sting
them to death.
The answer was that probably the balloons
did the work in the night when the bees
were drowsy, sleepy and dull Anyway he
believed the baboons got off with the swag
of honey whenever they could get at nest
Then, Mr.. Peter Booysen, of Mooifontein,
has his story to tell OF the new development
of the baboon; it attacks the wild aloe, pulls
it down and tears out the pith for food. Mr..
Booysen, ST., does not object to this, as he
would be glad if all the wild aloes on his
farm were cleaned out by any means what
soever. The special wish of the father and
son is that the baboons would take to some
food-provIding operation which would get
rid of the prickly pear. But as the sub
stance of the leaf and the trunk Of the
prieklv pear is nothing but water the wish
is not likely to be gratifed. Anyway the
poisoning clubs have c1assed the baboon
with the wild carniv0ra and the rife and
arsenic are now busy to destroy him.
Farmers give interesting instances of the
difficulty of poisoning the baboon, the fel-
low being about as ''slim" as human be-
ing. One farmer believes the fellow can
taste the poison as prepared and disguised
for him, and if he finds it is not good thing
for his stomach, spits it out. The farmer,
however, has succeeded in giving the ar
senic such palatable surroundings that the
shrewdness of the baboon is not proof
against the palatable temptation and dies.
