Thus long the conflict between lova,

and yet since she must give
herself to him she wished to,
have it done and over. Slowly the
morning hours wore away, and as often
as Louise gazed out across the broad ex-
panse of prairie nothing greeted her
vision save the parched plain.
AT last near noon she saw a horse
man approaching. He was far awav,
but she was sure it was Pearson coming

F'Tt shall be as he wishes, " she mused,
and our interview shall be a short one.
Thank God the worst will soon be over"
The minutes passed and the horse
man drew near. Louise, who had
rested her face in her hands, looked up
again, and as her eyes reached the ap-
preaching figure she received shock
that took her breath away. Her heart
ceased its beating and her form trem-

She attempted to run away and hide,
somewhere from his eyes, but her limbs
refused to bear her. and with shame, re-

she awaited his approach as doomed

Louise spoke in pleading tones, and
her sad words and her yet sadder face
ought to have touched heart of stone,
but they had no effect on Pearson other
than 20 confirm him in his purpose.
"Why should [ put myself to any

Having spoken thus Pearson arose
and walked to and fro along the bank,

doubts. That was the most trying hour

A COUNTRY OF SURPRISES.
Strange Industrial Rivals in South
Africa.

While there is little doubt that with
proper development of its agricultu-
raj and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made self-supporting, the sue
ceSsful development of these indus
tries depends, nevertheless, upon the
creation of local markets through the
stimulus given by mining operations.
Whatever may contribute to the ex-
tension of the commerce and trade OF
South Africa, the immediate future OF
the country is dependent primarily
upon the Development of its mineral re-
sources. Probably no other event has
so impressed this fact upon the minds
OF the people of the country at large as
the dire straits TO which they have
been reduced by the rinderpest cpl
demic.
Indeed, upon two previous memoir
able occasions South Africa has been
saved from industrial disaster by the
stimulus given to trade through the
development of the diamond industry
i'll one instance and the development OF
the gold industry in the other. The
Deus eX machina to again save the
country will be the expansion of the
mineral industry.
With the exception of mining of gold
diamonds and coal, there have been nc
considerable explorations Of its min
erai resources. Coal, fortunately, eX-
lists in many parts of the country, and
it has been estimated that the known
coal fields represent an area of $4,000
square miles, which is equal in extent
to the state of Iowa. There exist in
some parts of the country large depos-
its of iron contiguous to the coal-fields
but as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and
other metals are also found in many
parts of the country, but have not been
remuneratively worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the
Transvaal is facile princeps, and is in
all probability destined to maintain its
paramount position; though, as is well
known, South Africa is "a country of
surprises" and it is possible, of course
though not probable, that within its
great extent other equally important
districts may be discovered.-Ncrth
