Jephthah full tenderly. Then, speak
ing once more unto the priest, she said:
Il pray thee, while that the fire is
kindling, suffer US to kneel and say one
prayer--I and the young man Adina."
And they knelt together. both in vir-

and their faces raised to heaven. and
the prayer Of their hearts, even a. the

cleaned sharp and threatening near

And they knelt so long In silence
that the priest, who wished not to in

to speak to them, lest the sacred fires
should burn too low. But there came
NO answer to his words. and when he
turned and looked into their faces, that
wondrous light was gone from them;
for their spirits had ned together. and

And 1t was even 80 that God deliv-
cred them. This was His time and
place. and He had chosen His own way.
And that the vow which Jephthah had
vowed might be accomplished. the
body of the maiden Namarah was laid
upon the altar and with 1t the body of
the young man Adina, a burnt offering
unto the Lord.
And as the fires upon the altar be-
gan to sink, an object that seemed to
fall straight from out the sky dropped
down and fell into the flames; and 10.
It was the body of snow-white dove,

No one can undentand the full sig

OF the Briton and Boer concefning the
native or black populations In their
midst and In surrounding sections. In
the treatment OF the black races there
has been clear antagonism between
the Briton and the Boer from he very
beginning. The drst trek In 1888 was
because England abolished slavery.
There were other issues, but every seri-
GUS contest had its relation to the ma

The Boer believes that the natives

slavery cannot be In that form, then
the relation must by law be fixed so
that equality Of privilege is not permit
ted berween the Boer and the native,
no matter what may be the intelligence
or character Of the latter. The c0nsti-
tuition provides that there shall be no
equality between white and colOred
persons In church or state; no black
man can walk on the sidewalk In town
or city; this includes not only native
teachers and preachers trained by for

black or mulattO people who come
from Cape Colony or elsewhere.
No black man can own land in the
Transvaal. No black man can become
trader OF any kind, no matter what
his intelligence or how good his char
acter. Up to two years ago there could
be no legal marriage of any black per-
son. No black man has standing in
court In the Transvaal: he cannot sue
the government or white man. The
Transvaal does nothing toward the ed
lcation Of the black people, although
by licenses, etc. they pay three per
cent of the public school money.
The Transvaal Dutch churches. after
fifty years of opportunity, have done
practically nothing In missionary work

Hendrick let the reins drop on his
horses neck and proceeded at walk

ing. and the horses hoofs made no
sound on the soft sand
Reaching the orchard the sound of
voices fell upon his ear and almost
mechanically he stopped his horse and
listened. 1t was the voice of Nancy

The man on the horse heard the
words that pierced his heart like the
stab of dagger. For some moments
he sat like statue, his face grim and
set, and his eyes staring into blank
ness. The steed moved forward Of its
own accord and wandered on for up
wards Of an hour. while its rider sat
wrestling with himself. Then. with
sigh and sob that almost choked him
he gathered up the reins and once
more turned towards John Martins

Even before the coming of the time
appointed. just as the moon was COM

Adina made his silent way into the
garden Of Jephthah's house. and stood
and waited. The hour Of moonrise was
Just what 1t had been two months be-
fore. on the night of their parting here,
and In his ears weresthe same sounds
OF the babbling brook and of the doves

the young man paced. his thumbs
thrust into the belt wherewith his
white tunic was held in place, and his
whole body tense and strained with the
mightiness Of his hardly mastered ex-
cttement A light glimmered in the
room of Jephthah. and on this he kept
his gaze. until presently it became in
moment softly shaded. as II to screen
the eyes Of one who slept. Namarah,
, A1deed, had soothed her father into a
gentle slumber, and when 1t was known
unto her that he slept she stepped forth
into the garden.
She had even refreshed her from her
journey and clothed herself in snow
. white garments. perfumed with myrrh
and frankincense, In which she moved
softly down the garden walks to meet
shim whom her soul did love- The
grasses Of summer bent beneath the
soft pressure Of her feet. and the vines
. divided themselves at the light touches
OF her hands. The trees above her were
as the wall Of her temple OF love, and
the moon pierced through to light 1t.
Adina stood and waited In the spot
made sacred to them by the early
dawnings. as well as by the fruition of
!. their love; and as the maiden, fair and
'1white as II made of the rays Of the
moonlight, moved softly toward him,
he stretched out his two arms. She
came to them with full gladness and
assurance. as one Of her white doves,
after long wandering, cometh home.
And Adina spake no word: only he
drew her to him. as though he would
never lose her again. AS she rested

In the kitchen of a Boer farm al

versation.
viii you come, Hendrick?"
II cannot leave, Paul: there is Eng

THE woman we love. Hendrick, for
God knows that think OF her every
minute of my life. You and have
been all In all to each other ever since
we were born; but this mutual love for
Nancy Martin seems likely to divide
US. Even supposing we put our chances

Let us then take our rifles. Join the
commando, and for the time forget her,
and perhaps when the war is over one
Of us may gain by death what the
other could not give in life."
Il will not fight against the Eng
lish, Paul"
Think we'll. Hendrick. Nancy Mar

may have an English lover?"

Then. Hendrick, we must part,

Farewell, Paul, and God grant that

Paul turned his horse toward New
castle, while Hendrick rode in the op-
posite direction. with the intention of
making his way to John Martins farm,
which lay on the banks of the Caladon
river, between Basutol and Natal.
Hendrick Hoopstad's love for Nan
cy. tie only daughter of John Martin,
Of the Caladon farm, was the one
thought that engrossed his mind. He
loved her, and was willing to lay down
his life for her without thought of re-
ward. It might be as John had sug-
gested. that Nancy had an English
lover; we'll, time would show, and
whatever happened he would always
strive to be worthy of her, and be will

And when Namarah and her maid
ems reached the house Of Jephthah, be-
hold II was hung with mourning. and
though the doors were wide, there was
neither friend nor servant to be seen.
So Namarah entered silently, and took
her way toward the apartment Of her
father Jephthah: and NJ she came unto
his door, she turned and spake unto
the maidens. bidding them stay with
out in the hall while she went in alone.
And A. she thrust open the door and
came into the presence Of her father
Jephthah. behold he to was dressed in
mourning garments. and he leaned
upon the breast of the young man
Adina, who was also clad In sackcloth;
and the faces OF both men were white
IS bc the faces Of the dead; and Adina
had grown gaunt and hollow-cheeked
and lost his ruddy color, while
her father Jephthah was as one grown
old before his time.
And Namarah spake no word, but
shutting close the door behind her, she
went and put her arms about the neck
Of her father, but her eyes she gave
unto her lover.
Her hood had fallen backward, and
her white face rose from out Its SOL

flower springing out Of earth; and her
eyes, made large and luminous through
fastings and vigils. seemed as the very
windows OF her spirit; and in their

He understood her tender thought in
ciasping first her father before her
touch sought his, for 1t was by reason
OF her father that this blow was come
upon them. and she felt he had great
need Of comfort and the assurance of
her deep. unchanged affection; but in
that long, deep look into her lovers
eyes. she gave him her whole self. For
a moment they rested In that look.
quiet and calm as the deeps of ocean.
and then the maiden spake:
II pray thee leave me now, Adina,"
she saith, softly, es the voice of Jeph-
thah her father brake into great sobs
while she smoothed his snow-white
hair, and stilled him as a mother might
her babe. Il would be with him alone,
that my courage fail not; for he hath
more need Of comfort than either thou
or I. Return to me an hour after moon

And Adina bowed his head and went.
with never so much as touch of her
hand to feed the mighty hunger of his
love. howbeit that look in her eyes
which rested on him still. even as he
left her presence. was as draught
divine wherewith the thirst of his soul
