Olive Schreiner, whose "Dreams' is con-
sidered the best literary production of a
woman since George Eliot's time, lives in
Cape Colony, in a mere apology of a town
with the unpronounceable name of Mates
fontein. The place consists of a station,
farm, mill, hotel, warehouse and a few
barefooted horses. It lies in the very heart
of a wilderness, surrounded by level
wastes of gray sand and ragged ridges of
rock"

Just now he thinks he wants to buy this

want it at any price. You don't want to

can make something by humoring his

"Why, he pays you, say, two hundred
dollars for contract giving him the
right to buy the place within thirty days
for ten thousand dollars. That is called
an option"
The old mans heart leaped with de-
lighted hope. Here was the way out OF
his dilemma. Anna would not be able
TO blame him if the gentleman did not
complete the purchase.
But" he suggested doubtfully, III
would not be right that l should take

"You don't. You give the privilege

Frau Kropff quivered with excite
ment, joy and the triumph OF great
speculative coup, for which she took all
credit to herself. Her mind dld not
really entertain d realizing sense OF a sum
of money beyond about fifty dollars-an
amount for which she had a standard OF
annroyimation in the ordinary value OF
a COW. She talked of thousands as she
heard Others talked, but comprehended
them no more than metaphyslclahs
orasp the conceptions OF unbounded
snace and limitless time, about which
they pirate so glibly. Even the tanslole
nile of forty five dollar notes dazed her
with n sense of vastness that seemed to
include ample provision for Jacobs
happy future. Farmer Kropff listened
