Lord Methuen Scores.
Methuen telegraphs from Boshof

northeast of Kimberley, as follows:

Gen. De Villebois Mareuill was the
chief-of-staff of the Boer army. He
was about fifty years old, and is said
to have been responsible for many
Boer successes in Natal, and, later, in
Cape Colony, and the southern part of
the Orange Free State. 1t is said that
he entered the Boer service merely be-

So pride and regretful love battled
in the lonely heart. The night wore
on. and Lill Burdell dreamed laven-
der-scented dreams. 1t was halfway
to dawn when Thusa. reproaching
herself for wasted time and strength
crept into bed beside her adopted
child.
Henry Gleason was also keeping
vigil with memory. A chance word
with Nathan Burnside had led to an
explanation of that summer evening
ride so long ago. Was it too late to
sue for pardon? Would Thusa be de-
ficient in proper pride. if she would
listen to a second avowal? She still
remained young and lovable in his
eyes. Yet. after all. she had been to
blame in not explaining the breaking
of the appointment.
So pride and affection contended in
the widOwer's heart also. The circles
made in the ocean by the casting in of
