CHAPTER XIV.

The road to Mrs. Daly'sis full of beauty.
On one side Of il runs Coole its trees rich
with leafy branches; upon the other stretches
a common, green ard soft, with a grand
glimpse of the ocean far down below it,
"Why walk on the dusty road, when those
fields are geen in there" says Kit pointing
10 Coole; and, after faint hesitation, Mon
lea follows her over the wall and into the
dark recesSes Of the woods. The grass iS
knee-decp in ferns and trailing yerdure; {;
great clumps OF honeysuckle, falling from.
giant limbs Of elm, make tire air sweet
Some little way to their right-but where
they cannot see because Of the prodgalltS
OF moss and alder and bracken-a little hid
den brook runs merrily, making =
"Swcet music with tn cnamc'd stones.

Some thought belonging to the past night
coming TO Kit, she turns to Monica with
little laugh.
How silent You have been about last
NIGHTS adventure ~ she says. IL watched
YOU from your own window untii the shad'
owS caught you. You looked like Hitting
spirit,-a-a bhoot.'
"A boot!" says Monica, very justly sur
prised.
Yes" loftily Kits educational course
as directed BY herself, has been of the er
ratio order. and has embraced many topics
unknown to Monica. From the political
economy Of Farce Isles, it has reached ever
to the hidden mysteries of I'ndostan.

Though more than 400 PAGES of tho
rhnoceroses swerved aside when they
saw us and then dashed upon us with
the speed of race-horses. As usual, my
black companions took to their heels

off. 1t was hopeless for me to think o.
reaching it and there was not so much
as a blade of straw for cover anywhere
Aud behind the dead zebra, which would
have been better than nothing, three o.
my men were already crouching.

1t staggeaed and fell, but the mex
moment was on its feet again. 1t wai
not killed, but its ardor was cooled, fol
it turned away, followed by its com
panion. Twice it seemed about to fall
and | did not think second shot woult
be necessary; but it got away with un

lowed it for some distance we lost it.

says aluding to the headache; and this, az
all events, is the strict truth.

GLOOMY VIEWS OF A HIGHLANDER
Letter From One OF Wauchope's
Men.-Criticises Oflcers.

London, Jan. 17.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press THE follow
ing account Of the Modder river fight
was received today from one of the
Argyle and Sutherland Ilighlanders:
I'VE have had some hot fighting
with Methuen, but we got through all
right until the 18th, when we got a
licking. We OF the Highland brigade
had marched during the night to sur
prise the Beers. No one knew what
we were going to do or where we were
going. The rain came down in tor
rents and we were soaked through,
and that on empty stomachs. We were
led right into the Boer trenches by
our guides, and before we could de-
plOy from the column half of us were
shot down. We all ran for our lives,
reforming 500 yards back, when the
Gordons joined us, and we again tried
the trenches. But il was no good. All
day we lay out in the sun without
food or drink, and in the afternoon
Boer shells began bursting among us,
so we made the best of our way to
the rear. The men were sick and dis
pirited and there was no fight left
in them. They would not stop for the
officers or anyone else. General Wau-
chope was killed, hit in seven places.
He was the right sort. They say it
was not his mistake at all, and he did
not want night attack. Anyway, it
was ghastly failure.
"The camp at Modder river is full of
BQer spies, colonials and others, so our
every movement is watched and in
formation carried TO the enemy. Why
these people are allowed to mass about
the camp / cannot understand. Some
of these disloyal colonials have BEEN
caught red handed fighting against
the queen. Why don't they shoot
them right off instead of sending them
down for trial? They don't de-
serve it.
Most Of the regiments here are full
of young officers and the men don't
care about them. saw some of them
at Modder river fight like lot of
schoolboys, giving out orders none of
us could understand, and we took no
notice of them and went our own way
as best we could. Most of the regi
ments are the same. The guards are
the best off for officers. None of us
can make out why so many young Of
ficers were sent out to take charge Of
old soldiers. Why can't we have more
of our old officers. My late captain,
who left us at Aldershot, came to see
MS off and we asked why he was not
coming with us. He replied the war
Office would not let him rejoin. He is
a good man. We should not have lost
half the men we had If we had older
officers.
"We were good brigade il we had
not been messed up and if only Wau-
chope had been left to handle us him
self. This is terrible war and God
only knows how it will end.
''Ny wound is not bad one. l was
shot through the fieshy part of the
thigh and | was so excited | did not
notice il for an hour or two"

street take a gloomy view OF the situ-
| alton on the Tugela, it being the gen.
| eral belief that Buffers fianking move
ment has failed as completely as his
| frontal movement of last month. The
| idea prevails that the war Office has
bad news which 1t is keeping from the
public and that the list Of casualties
which was given out yesterday does
not cover the losses of General War
ren from the Annoying fire" spoken
OF by Butler. Since the fianking move
| ment began, January 10, Butler has
reported 60 killed, $50 wounded and so
missing. 1t is remembered how his
casualty list grew from day to day
after his defeat last month, and it is
feared the losses of the past few days
have been frightful. Butler is criti-
cised for the form of his message,
which reads as though he were trying
to saddle the blame for his defeat up
on Warren. The new British reverse
is likely to have disheartening effect
upon the beleaguered garrison of
Ladysmith, but for whom the cam
paign would have been conducted on
very different plan. Letters written
when the siege OF Ladysmith began
were very sanguine. A letter written
about the middle of December said the
besieged had rations for six weeks,
and, according to all reports the food
question must be pressing. The latest
message from Ladysmith reported
twelve deaths in one day from enteric
fever and dysentefy. Lord Roberts,
at Cape Town, has been almost
forgotten in the fighting over the Tu-
gela. Roberts Is i'm no way respon-
siblc for the operations for the relief
Of Ladysmith, for they have been con-
Quoted under advice from the war Of
flee in London. 1t was some time ago
that Roberts favored leaving Lady
smith 10 its fate and marching on
