THE

of wild Life.
The klipspringer. or klipbok, as 1t Is
often called by the c~olonists, seems,
like the Chamois of Europe, to be Gre
ated for no other purpose than to COM
plete and adorn a mountain landscape,
says the Spectator. Although smaller
than its distant cousin of the snowy
Alps, the klipspringer yields neither
to 1t nor to any other mountain dweller
In the world in the ease with which
it can get about the most difficult and
dangerous rocks and precipices. To
watch a pair of these little antelopes

pitous face OF some yawning cliff or
sheer mountain wall, or on to pinnacles
and lodges that might startle even a
Rocky mountain goat, displaying the
while a GOODNESS and lack of fear born
of countless generations of a climbing
ancestry, Is TO watch the very perfec-
ton Of wild life upon the mountains.
Certainly In all South Africa there Is
no more charming or wonderful sight
than the klipspringer amid its own wild
mountains, kloofs and krantzes. About
two feet in height at the shoulder

The ram carries short, sharp, pon.
iard-like horns about four inches in
length; the W Is hornless. One great
popularity of the klipbok lies in its
oliye-brown coat, which is thick and
very brittle to the touch. Each hair Is
hollow and the whole coat is s~rngularly
light and elastic. Among the colonists
and especially the Beers the hair OF the
klipspringer is, in consequence, In great
demand for stuilng saddles. The legs
are robust, as they need to be; the pas
terms singularly stiff and rigid, while
the tiny hoofs are hollow, somewhat
Jagged at the edges, and exactly adapted
for obtaining foothold on the most diff
cult mountain sides.

agonzied parting he tore himself away.
and Dorothy found herself left alone
in the pretty fiat. face to face with the
sorest trial of her life.
A week before she had written to her
cousin. Esther Brand, but she had had
no reply. That had not surprised her
much, for Esther was a restless soul,
never so happy as when moving about
from place to place. Apart from that,
London is scarcely the place to look
for rich and idle people in September,
and Dorothy had addressed her letter
to her cousins bankers, knowing that
It would be the surest and probably
the quickest way Of finding her. But
when Dick was gone Dorothy began
to get very anxious for a letter from
Esther, to watch for the post, and to
wonder impatiently what Esther could
possibly have done with herself and
whether she mad got her letter or not.
But for several days there was stu
silence, and at last, Just when Dorothy
was beginning to despair, 1t came.
