CHAPTER VIII.
nE CATCHES THE OLD BIRD.


At o'clock the next afternoon the
German rode across the plain, return
ing from his search for the lost sheep.
He rode slowly, for he had been In the
saddle since sunrise and was some
what weary, and the heat of the after
noon made his horse sleepy rs it picked
its way slowly along the sandy road.
Every now and then a great red spider
would start out of the 'karrOo" on one
side of the path and run across to the
other. but nothing else broke the still
monotony. Presently, behind one Of
the highest of the milk bushes that
dotted the roadside, the German caught
sight of n Kaflir woman, seated there
evidently for such shadow as the milk
bush might afford from the sloping
rays of the sun. The Germau turned
the horses head out Of the rc.ld. 1t
was not his way to pass n living crea-
ture without word Of greeting. Com
ing nearer, he found it was no other
than the wife of the absconding Kafiir
herd. She had baby tied on her back
by n dirty strip of red blanket. An
other strip hardly larger was twisted
round her waist, for the rest Of her
blacl; body was naked. She was n
sullen, i'll looking woman, with lips
hideously protruding.
The German questioned her as to
how she came there. She muttcred in
broken Dutch that she had been turned
away Had she done evil? She shook
her head sullcnly. Had she had food
given her? She grunted n negative
and famed the flies from her baby.
Telling the woman to remain where
she was he turned his horses head to
the road and rode Off at furious pace.
Hard hearted, Cruel! o my God!
Is this the way? Is this charity? Yes,
yes, yesw calculated the old man as he
rode on, but presently his anger be-
gan to evaporate, his horses pace
slackened, and by the time he had
| reached his own door he was noddlng
and smiling.
DismOuntiug quickly, he went to the
great chest where his provisions were
| kept Here he got out little meal, a
| few mcalies, n few rooster cakes.
| These he tied up in three blue handker-
| chiefs, and, putting them into n sail
| cloth bag, he strung them over his
! shoulders. Then he looked circum-
! specify out at the door 1t was very
! bad to be discovered in the act of Civ
| ing 1t made him red up to the roots
! Of his old grizzlcd hair. No one was
about. however, so he rode off again.
Before the milk bush sat the Katllr
woman still, like IIagar, he thought
| thrust out by her mistress in the viii
derness to die. Telling her TO loosen
the handkerchief from her head, he
! poured into it the contents of his bag.
| The woman tied it up in suIlen silence.
you must try to get to the next
! farm" said the German.
The woman shook her head. She
would sleep in the field.
The German reflected. kaliir women
were accustomed to sleep ia the open
air, but then the child was small, and
after so hot a day the night might be
chilly. That she would creep back tc
the huts at the homestead when the
darkness favored her the Germans

THREE METHODS OF COLLECTING SAP.
ground, it will not be chilled. In the
spring. beginning in the latter part OF
February or first of March. according
as the season is forward or backward,
the sap begins to ascend the body of
the tree, the greater part in the outer
layers o. the tree. Securing this sap
as it ascends and boiling it down con-
stitutes the work of maple sugar max
ing
The first thing Is to get the sap. In
the early days before the bit and brace
an oblique notch was cut into the tree
near the ground, and from this wound
the sap would of course flow. Then un-
der the lower corner of this wound q
curved hole wide from one side Of the
tree to the other, but narrow up and
down, was made with ''gouge," and
into this was driven a short wooden
spout of the same shape, which caught
the sap as 1t dropped from the cut, and
thus carried 1t to short wooden troughs
made by digging out Eastwood blocks.
After the bit and brace came into use
n hole was bored into the tree, and
round spout made from piece of SUI
mac from which the pith had been
burned out was driven into the hole to
convey the sap to the trough.
Next the wooden bucket came into
use. BY driving n nail into the tree un-
der the spout the bucket could be hung
anywhere on the tree.
In the days of boiling in kettles color
was the last thing aimed at In max
ing maple sugar, which was dull
black when finished. Sweetness was
the main consideration, and there was
. no incentive to keep out the dirt and
cinders, for black sugar was just as
sweet, and sugar lighter than chocolate
was looked upon as having been adul-
terated.
The next improvement was the large
pan placed upon an arch made OF stone
or brick. About the same time tin
buckets came into use. A little later
the metallic spout was invented. This
Is now of such shape that 1t fills but q
small portion of the hole bored In the
tree. but is held so firmly that the buck
ct is supported by it. 1t allows sap to
flow from the outer layers of the tree
where there is the greatest amount OF
sap. and that which makes the whitest
sugar.
A few sugar makers have their plant
so arranged that the sap, or sirup, does
not touch wood after the sap leaves
the tree. At the present time color Is
an important factor In the value OF
maple sugar, and as wood TENDS 10
color 1t wooden utensils of all kinds
have been discarded as far as possible.
The maple sugar now made Is OF
light straw color. Any darker than
