STOLE a MARCH ON THE BFiT1sH.
How the willy Germans Established
Colonies in south Africa.

When vague rumors first got about that
Germany had formed the conception OF
establishing colonies in Africa the reports
were ridiculed by Lord Granville, then
secretary of state for foreign affairs, on
the ground that the Germans were not a
colonizing people. and it was evidently
felt by himself and his colleagues in Mr..
Gladstone's government of that day that
Germany was not and never would be-
come serious competitor of Great Brit
ain in any part of the world outside Of
Europe. Owing to the prevalence of this
opinion in the minds of not only the gov
eminent of the day, but of most we'll
informed people in England. Germany, as
a matter of fact, stole a march on Great
Britain. About this time the Transvaal,
which had few years before gained it's
independence, conceived the project of
stretching across Bechunaland and ioin-
ing hands with the German professionals
on the west coast. Freebooting expedi-
tionS set out from the TranSvaaI and es-
tabliShed in Bechunaland the republics
of Stellaland and Goschen. The under
standing between the Germans and the
Beers of which so much has been heard
in the last few days, really dates from
this time.
A few far-seeing believers in the British
imperial idea then perceived what the
carrying out of this design would mean
for British supremacy in South Africa.

Shortly we began to question each other
in hoarse unnatural voices; and his story
was as mine. Yet we said nothing in
surprise. We did not call each other liars,
for we knew. And, So too lame to mount
even when we found the path, we turned
toward the house we had seen,-limping,

The house proved to be the inn we had
been seeking in the nights storm. There

of the house of the Bronze Fox. Perhaps
they did not understand, for as we ques-
toned they skunk away. But a barefoot
mendlcant, brown cowled monk, who
was listening came forward crossing him
self, and surprising us with excellent Eng
lish.
You passed night in the House of the
Bronze Fox?"
Yes"
The monk looked at us curiously, again
lingering his rosary.
Who is this Sieur de Bellaire?''
There is none"
There is nOne?"
HE died in Henri Quatre's reign
HE died? And the house?'
There is only the ceiling where the
house was.
And what of that we saw"
WHO knows?"
The monk paused strangely:
Have you ever heard that there may
be dead who try to steal the life from
the living?" he said, with strange, search
full eyes on me, and he turned still finger
ing the rosary, and went out of the door.
We paused, looking at each other, and
then too late-for the monk had gone

They but stared at us stupidity as not I'M

shine, his face ashen, and motioned to
our wheels. L understood, and with that
same impulse of flight too, mounting on
that good road; the summer morning
drove the night out of our brains; and as
we wheeled along, our pulses again beat
ing regularly-our blood warm-the events
of the night grew DINNER. They seemed
but parts of a nightmare. 1t was as if
we both had had fall in the storm that
had left US unconscious until dawn; that
had put the same scars on our threats;
that had stirred the same fancies in our
brains. Nor now can we be positive that
1t was else than dream-an accident when
in the tempest we wheeled out of our
path and the WEAKNESS of utter exhaus-
ton wrought strange decisions. When
a wooded country no one seemed to know
even the location of the moor; nor have
we since been able to put it. It was all
a nightmarish thing, that may, or may
not, have come from physical exhaustion,
we said; and yet, saying so much, we
turned on each other eyes of dread lest
there might be contradiction; and even
yet it is the same with US on the subject
of that dream of the moor.
