Motto. another Bechuana village,
was reached by o'clock next morn
ing. All was safe there; no Boer pa
trolls had yet reached this remote dis
trict. Some breakfast and two hours
sleep, and once more he mounted his
horse for the forty-mile ride to Kuru-
man. where a remount could easily be
procured. The gallant black was look
ing worn and light and tucked up now
after his 140 miles of travel Yet his
spirit was as keen as ever and he
reached heartily for his bride as Dick
cnce more got to his saddle. A long,
weary day of travel, under a parching
sun, and over yellow illimitable grass
plains, infinitely monotonous to the
eye, succeeded. Five miles from Kur-
uman, Dick reined up his tired nag
and halted for his last off-saddle.
Half an hour later. as he rose from
the grass and stretched himself by
the thorn tree, a bullet whizzed past
his ear, and ratified into the tree
trunk. Dick was an old campaigner,
and knew most tricks of native war
fare. He threw up his arms. as If shot
and fell prone to earth, taking care,
however, to lay one hand on his load
ed rife. AS he squinted out of the
corner of his eye. huge figure of a
man lurched into the open from be-.
hind a screen Of thick brush, so yards
away Dick knew the figure at once.
It was Frans Strydom, who, with the
skill and venom of a Bushman, had
spored him from Mosita, and had thus
murderously attacked him. With iron
nerve Dick let the man come away
from cOver-25 yards at least-and.
then springing on to one knee, leveled
his rifle. Strydom turned to fly Il was
too late. His burly form offered a
splendid target. The Lee-Metford
cracked and the bullet sped true for
the Beers right shoulder, flooring him
in his tracks. Dick ran up, saw that
the wound was not mortal, bandaged
the wretched man up as well as pos.
sible, shortly giving him his opinion
as he did so, propped him against q
tree, and, mounting his own horse and
leading the Dutchman's, cantered OF
to Kuruman. From Kuruman he sent
out a cart to bring in the wounded
man, a mission which was safely ac-
complished before nightfall. A long.
half-night's rest at Kuruman in a good
bed, and, with a fresh horse, he went
on his way next morning rejoicing,
leaving his treacherous foe in the
hands of the good missionary and his
wife, all the circumstances of the af-
fair having been reported to the resi-
dent magistrate.
Three days later, having passed
through Daniels Kuhl and Douglas in
Griqualand, where fresh horses were
procured, Dick Hadlow reached Hope
Town, on the Orange River, whence
his dispatches were sent at once
southwark in safety From Kuruman
he had travelled 10 miles, and from
Mafeking 375. Deadly tired and stiff
and travel-worn as he was, he could
now afford to look back upon his jour
ney and its incidents with vast con-
tentment.

Portnnal,s condltlon.

In the Lisbon factories women work
from sunrise to sunset for the munif-
cent salary of four pence in Portu-
guese currency, or about one and one,
quarter cents In our money. How
thy live heavens only knows, but they
seem both contented and happy. A
local author has lately published a
book showing that the poverty is all
due to its large amount of uncultivat-
ed land. You are surprised TO learn
that forty-nine per cent of Portugal's
area is left to itself, as compared to
Belgium's eight per cent. and Ger
manys nine per cent. Certainly in
this genial soil and climate enough
bread stuff for home consumption
ought TO grow. An English criticism
on the aforementioned book justly
says: bad rulers and a weakly, re-
signed people would override the ad-
vantages Of increased cultivation

at Strydom's house.)

the Beers, except Strydom and one
other, who remained to guard their
prisoner, rode off on a patrol to an
other Englishman's farm, promising
to call for Hadlow next day, on their
way to Vryburg.
At sunset Edie arrived at Stry-
dom's house. With her walked KAT
fir servant, carrying a large basket.
Herr Strydom," she said, as the big
Dutchman rose from his chair on the
stoop, 81 have brought some supper
for Mr., Hadlow; please give it to him.
There is a bottle of whisky, also, and
as father thought you might be short
of liquor with so many friends in and
out, have brought you another bottle
for yourself"
Strydom was secret but ardent
admirer of the handsome English girl.
He put on his best manners, acknowl-
edged the compliment in a clownish
fashion, and, having emptied the bas-
ket, Edie smiled pleasantly bade him
good night and returned home.
Her scheme worked exactly as she
had anticipated. It was forlorn hope,
but it succeeded. Frans Strydom and
his friend devoted themselves after
supper-in which their prisoner had
no sbare-to the contents of the whis-
ky bottles; and by 10 o'clock, when
thy had consumed as much as they
could manage, were not only very
drunk, but very sleepy. Shortly after
they were both lying on Strydom's
rough bed snoring heartily in a deep,
drunken slumber. At IL Edie, who
had long since found means to bribe
Strydom's native servant (who him
self as she happened to know, was
only seeking a chance to bolt from
his masters service) made her way
into the house. She was very fright
ened, but stole with the silence of a
mouse into Dicks room, cut his cords
-Klaas, the native was keeping
watch-and released him. Together
they crept out, whispered farewell to
Klaas, and disappeared into the dark
ness. Klaas, meanwhile with two
golden sovereigns in his waist-belt
pouch, collected his scanty traps and
struck out for the Kalahari, only too
glad to escape from Strydom's hard
mastership.
quarter of an hour later Dick
Hadlow had bade farewell to Mr.. Jan
son, tenderly kissed Edie, and with
his letters regained. and his Lee-Met-
ford rife on his back, mounted his
horse and rode away again southwest
ward into the starlit night Moving
steadily on. and improving his pace
as day broke, he reached Granesa, a
Bechuana village, forty miles from
Mosita, by 10 o'clock next day. Here
he rested four hours, and again
pushed on, this time for Kuruman, the
well-known mission station. eighty
long miles ahead No Beers, the friend
ly natives said, were out In this direc-
l tion, and the road was safe. All night,
therefore, he pressed on, cantering
doggedly along the wagon track and
making GOOD progress.

ders and imprinted warm kiss upon

Dick whlstled.

Mr.. Janson came in presently. They
had a merry meal together, and sat
Just within doors, with the windows
wide open, exchanging news, the two
men smoking and all three discussing
with a keen interest the prospects of
early reinforcements from England
the chances of the great struggle in
Natal and the fate of Kimberley.
Presently Dick went and lay down for
a couple of hours sleep.
When he awoke it was o'clock.
There were ten armed Beers in the
room, and Mr. Jansen was by his side,
plucking his sleeve.

bad news. These fellows suspect you
of carrying messages out of Mafeking,
and they're going to arrest you. | am
afraid, my lad, you'll have to go quiet

sistance is out of the question Its a
dashed nuisance, but you won't come
to any harm. They'll take you to Vry-
burg, and when our troops come up
country, you'll be released"
Dick looked around and admitted
that struggle was useless. Luckily,
he had entrusted all his papers to
Edie before retiring for his nap, and
although the Beers searched him, even
down to his boots and CATERS, they
found nothing. He was hauled off to
Strydom's farm, quarter of mile
distant, with his hands and legs tied,
and put into room by himself All

MARRIAGES IN GERMANY.
Red Tape Americans Have to Go
Throuuh to Get the Knot Tied.

iuTOu9n To 6CI lHC FNnOI Iicus
An unfortunate citizen of South
Dakota, of German birth, went to Ba-
Varia a while ago to wed the woman
of his choice. The young couple were
all ready to have the ceremony per
formed when the unpleasant discov-
cry was made that the Bavarian au-
thorities required certain proofs that
It was proper for the marriage con-
tract to be made. This necessity re-
quired the production of various docu-
ments from the United States, and
four months elapse before the mar
riage was allowed to take place.
The dilemma of this couple has
moved Mr.. Stern, our commercial
agent in the City of Hamburg, to give
some advice and information to Ger
man citizens of this land who con-
template marrying in the old country
This advice appears In our Consular
Reports, which, as a rule, deal far
more largely with commercial than
matrimonial interests. 1t appears
that the laws concerning the mar.
riage of foreigners in Germany have
recently been revised, and more strin-
gent regulations are now in force, as
Germany does not intend that any
MISTAKE SNAIL De HlduS IL she can 0elp
IL.
In the first place it must be proved
that one or both of the contracting
parties are really foreigners. A GER
tificate of naturalization in a foreign
land must therefore be produced as
a preliminary. Then the authorities
in a foreign land must provide anoth-
er certificate to show that they know
of no just cause or impediment why
the marriage should not take place,
and this document must be verified by
the German Ambassador or a German
Consul. One or the other of these
officials also must certify to a certii-
cate of birth, which the applicant is
required to produce.
If there Is any consanguinity be-
tween the couple, the applicant must
produce proofs that in his adopted
country this relationship forms no i'm
pediment to the marriage, and If he
has been previously married and has
been divorced the decree relating to
the annulment of the marriage, veri-
fed by a Consul, must be forthcoming.
Perhaps an appropriate title for
these new marriage laws would be-:
Acts to prevent foreigners from COM
ing over to Germany to marry Ger
man girls and thus deplete the popu-
lation of the German Empire. '-Ex-
