ON He vELDT
a South African Love Story

the face Of the dead man lay upturned
to heaven. His executioner took q
step forward, and then a cry OF agony
startled the morning air.
"Hendrick! Hendrick! My God!
My God! Hendrick! My brother! And
l have killed him. Oh, God, forgive,
forgive!"
Paul Hoopstad placed his revolver
to his forehead, and fell across the
corpse Of his brother. They loved each
other in life, and together they joined
the great unknown.
That morning the English army
stormed the heights Of Glencoe, and
the Beers were defeated with heavy
slaughter, and side by side with Cap
tain Dick Harvey rode John Martin.
In the engagement Captain Harvey
was wounded, and sent to Durham,
where Nancy nursed her soldier lover
back to health. He told her the story
of Hendricks death as he had heard
it from one of the Boer prisoners.
"He loved me-" she said, as the tears
ran down her cheeks. HE said he
would serve me to the death, and in
rescuing my father he lost his life!

Industrially the foreign element II
America has been very important, says
Ainslee's Magazine. More than ninety
per cent Of the immigrants who havsl
come and are coming to this country
are Industrious and sober. They come
to better their fortunes. and they set'
about doing It with great energy. The'1
railroads and great public works lnl
this country used to be built BY lrlsnl
laborers. I am speaking in general
terms. Without them we would not s
have been able to make the great prog
ress which justlfies US in believing -
that our growth In wealth during the
past thirty years is more marvellous
than anything the world has previous
ly seen. But the Irish have found 9TH
er occupations, in which they can
crafty their gregarious Instincts, oe-
velop their wonderful talent for politl-
|cal organization, and in large ana
small ways enjoy the independence to
spend and to accumulate which was
denied to them for so long at home.
They have therefore settled in great
measure in the cities and taken up the
occupations that in such places are.
open to them. These occupations range
all the way from street sweeping 70;
millionaire financiering, and incluoe
cab driving, car driving, being porters,
,barkeepers, clerks, merchants, doctors.
lawyers and editors. AS professional
politicians they have had no peers IN
the history of the world. They may
ibe said to have genius for politics.
And the Irish who had not flocked to
the cities are doing remarkably well.
They are farmers all over the country.
and their success in the North Allan
tic division OF the country, on farms
that were no longer profitable under
native management, has been most
notable. As husbandmen they are fru-
gal without being niggardly. Their
remarkable political strength is due to
the fact that they have kept together
when it came to voting more consist
emily than any other people. Thack-
cray says somewhere, his observation
being of the Irish in London, that there
never was an Irishman so poor that he
did not have another Irishman who
looked to him for enjoyment and sup
port. This was tribute to their 10y
atty, their friendliness and generos-
ity.

Strasburg's Astronomical Clock.

The celebrated astronomical clock Of
Strasburg is in the minister, or cathe-
dral, and was originally designed by
an astronomer named Isaac Habrecht,
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Previous to this time, in fact as
early as 1854, Strasburg haG an as
Economical clock. 1t was in three
parts. The lower part had universal
calendar, the central part an astro-
labe, and in the upper division were
figures of the three Magi and the Vir-
gin. At every hour the Magi came
forward and bowed to the Virgin; at
the same time chime was played, and
a mechanical cock crew. This clock
of the Magi, as it was called, stopped
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury, and was replaced by a clock
made by Habrecht, which ran until
1889, when it stopped, and all at
tempts to put its works in order
failed. In 1888 a clockmaker named
Schwilgue undertook to remodel the
internal machinery, and finished it in
1912. ~ -.

The firing party were in charge of

Present! Fire!"
The rifles rang out, and Hendrick
stood by his grave unhurt. Without a
word the officer advanced to within
three PAGES of the doomed man, rails
ed his revolver, and bullet crashed
