In the first place, they had never Intended

Use to do SO. 1t was Jameson who was
coming to help them; and, in the second
place, In spite of the fact that they had not
guaranteed him any aid, even If they had
thought that he needed it, they had no
means Of conveying 1t to him unless they
chose at the same moment to hand the city
over to the mutual enemy, the Boer. But
what is more important to remember than
all else besides is that there was no sus-
piciOn In the minds Of any one in JOhan-
nesburg that jameson was in need OF as
sistance at any time during his ride.
AS one OF JamesOn's officers expressed 1t
to me in talking over the raid few weeks
sincein London, 1--WE thought that We would
go through the Transvaal like glittering
lord mayors show"
On the night jameson was marched a
prisoner to PraetOria he reform committee
was all but lynched for not having gone to
his rescue, and even then 1t could not tell
the excited people that there were not
over 800 guns in the whole city OF JOhan-
nesburg 1t was not until Jameson's brother
stepped out on the balcony OF the Sold
Fields building and assured the mob that
he had been acquainted with all that was
going forward during the ride, and that
even had he known that his brothers HE
wal at stake, he was satisfied thatit would
have been impossible to have helped him,
that the people were Quoted and dispersed.
Three days later the reform committee
was placed in Jail, contrary to che promise
made by Sir Jacobus De Wet, the agent
OF the English commission, that II it agreed
to armistice it would not be molested.
This promise he now denies having made,
and Mr.. Joseph Chamberlainis attempting
to support him in his denial in the face
OF published cableSrams which testify to
the contrary. The matter win he finally
cleared up when the parliamentary com.
mittee meets next fan.

FIXING UP THE EFFECTS

An audience never sees the hest part Of @
theatrical entertainment. That part pf the
performance which goes ON behind the
scenes is the truly Interesting one. There
is behold the mechanism, the force, The
power, the manipulation of all the variols
elements into a perfect harmony, the fin
ished product, the play as given to the
audience.
The old saw, IAN Is not gold that gilt

business. tits work, downright hard work,
which produces the perfect arrangement
of the scenery, the slides, the borders. tie

to the stage, transforming 1t from iarc
wooden floors into wonderful! Arabian

In five minutes the curtain was to rise
for the first act. The stage had been leisure
ly arranged. The stage carpenter, his as
sistant, the property man and the stage
hands were loung;ng lazily on boxes and
barrels, placed out OF the way of the per
formers, in the far recesses Of the stage.
The comedian was putting the finishing
touches to his makeup, and cutting notches

Where are the hundred men supposed
to be in the scene? Oh every trade has its
tricks. YOU know, and the theater business
is no exception TO the rule. Now to tell
the truth. q hundred men would spoil the

to and fro of the men the audience is de-
ceiyed into believing that that number

Therefore the comedian was jusufied In

il they were fully prepared for their parts.
Once more the curtain rises To the re-
Spouse of the bell. The play moves rap

finally the grand climax is reached. where

cheering of the men on the stage and the
applause Of the audience, while the curtain
