wandering Boer, seeking some strayed
horses, called at the place for refresh
ments, and after eating sat with Hitges
on the stoop to smoke, where, finding
the old man knew nothing of the ghosts
late performances, he told them, with
all the natural additions.
My father-in-law, the Boer afterward
told me, looked aghast, sprang from his
chair like a young man, exclaiming:
THE Schelem! The Schelem! The vii
lain! Good day, my FRIEND" holding
his hand to shake the Beers. Good
day. have serious business to attend
to; excuse me-" and he went into the
house.
The wandering Boer mounted his
horse and went up the mountains.
That night my father-in-law appeared
thoughtful and ate little supper. He
went early to bed, saying perhaps hun
ger might come in the morning.
In the morning, on calling him, which
was rarely necessary, we found that his
bed had not been slept in, that he was
missing and that his long Dutch gun
was missing also.
We sent one of the Hottentot hands
upon his spoor, or trail, which seemed to
lead down the kloof to Jacks Flat.
In about three hours'the bushman re-
turned in great terror with the story
that the old Baas Hitges was dead, laid
on his back upon the haunted grave
with his long gun upon his neck. To
saddle and mount was the work of two
minutes, and started, leaving the man
to follow with the cart and my wife as
quickly as possible.
On arriving at the fork found things
able to master the animals, who were
fast drawing to the high bank and would
inevitably tip over the ponderous wagon
and most likely kill or wound some one,
not to speak of drowning the cattle. ]

to camp till morning. ! sent the wagon
home with orders to bring back horses
for four by daylight. At daybreak the
horses arrived, bringing with them re-
freshments for the party and my Hot
tentot driver "a native bosjeman), who
commenced to hunt for a spoor. He was
busy for some time and then disappeared
in the bush, but after spell from about
half way up the mountain yelled to us,
reckoning with his hand. We dis.
mounted, for the thorns were dense,
and leaving our animals in charge of
one of our party, myself and remaining
friend made our way through the thick
cactuses and mimosa to where our driver
was. He held up to our view a small
wad of twisted grass smeared with
blood. We all knew what it was with
out explanation-itw was the wad which
wounded Kaffir uses to stop a bullet
hole.
Il followed a Kaffir spoor," said Our
driver, land found this, and this" ex-

one drop of blood on it. THE Kaffir is
