A BRITISH OFFICER DREW REIN.
down the path he dashed at full speed.
Just where this path emerged from
the orchard and joined the road sat
IIetty Marvin with her dog, Towser,
tending the bleaching of the household
linen.
In those days the long web of 40 yards
or more used to be diligently spun and
woven during the winter months, and
whitened in the spring. The task of
bleaching usually, for economy's sake,
fell to the lot of the younger daughters
of the household, who were not old
enough to spin or weave, nor strong
enough for the work of the kitchen or
Lairy.
The heavy roll of linen would be car
ried by the farmer and his men to some
grassy spot beside a spring or running
brook. Here it was thoroughly wetted
and spread upon the green turf to be
whitened by the rays of the sun by day
and the moisture of the dew by night.
1t was the duty of whoever was in
charge to turn the fabric as occasion re-
Guired, and occasionally to sprinkle 1t
with water-not an onerous task, al
though one that required faithfulness
and patience.
As Hetty was sitting. this May day,
near the linen, her mothers cousin, the
governor, suddenly sprang past her into
the road.
The child was startled by this sudden
shock, and by the look of desperation
on the fugitive's face, but quickly real
lied his danger, and at once quieted
Towser, who, although friend Of the
family's guest, considered such strange
behavior on his part sufficient cause for
barking.
The governor saw his little cousins
action, as she hastily clasped her hands
around Towser's nose to insure obe-
dience, and he stopped short in his mad
race and came back to where she was
standing.
'IIetty," he said, earnestly, "if the

SEEN THROUGH SOUL WINDOWS


Cushioned in velvet seems the light which
lies,
Dreamy and soft, deep in thy sparkling
eyes;
Wondrous their web wove from expressive
rays
FLASHED from thy SOUL as though for
prayer and praise
The glad lights kindled in some sacred
shrine
Cleaned from thy souls live altars into
mine.
Those silken lashes from this world may
Their well yelled secrets, but they turn
aside
To let me see as in some crystal deep
The beauteous thoughts their truthful mir
rors keep
From all the world except the favored one
They open to, and kindly gaze upon.
And In their lenses clear plainly read
The message l most gladly hear and heed;
Truth, purity, sincerity and trust,
And helpfulness which ever may and must
Command the admiration and respect
OF him who as their friend they thus select
Men wrote of magic mirrors years ago
In which they gazed and therein learned
to know
Themselves and who was foe, who truest
friend,
Their paths Of life and where each path
should end;
I find my magic mirrors in thine eyes,
And what see fills me with glad surprise.
And so I watch in them the CLEAN and glow
OF fairestfancies passing to and fro;
But though their crystal deeps show pic
lures strange
hot nj +r,,tb nov bo nov.
change.
All sunset tints and glories of sunrise
Mingle for me within thy glowing eyes.

Queer custom of the Kaft,r rrib.,.


1t is customary among Kaffir tribes
in this country when trouble is brew
ing amongst themselves or with white
races. to skin oxen alive in order to
ascertain which side will win. A white
OK always represents the Dutch, a red
OK the English, and black one the
natives. The Basutos in the Free
State, having heard of the trouble be-
tween the English government and the
Transvaal, put their old custom to the
test few days ago. They reported
that the white OK lived four days long
er than the other one; both oxen were
skinned alive. The result is that the
Basutos think if war comes about that
the Beers will win, and they have de-
cided to take no part in any trouble
that may ensue.
