GREGORY ROSE FINDS MS AFFINITY.

Z GREGORY ROSE FINDS HIS AFFINITY.
The new man, Gregory Rose, sat at
the door Of his dwelling, his arms fold
melancholy seeming to rest over his
soul. His house was little square
daub and waffle building, far out In
the "karroo," two miles from the
homestead. 1t was covered outside
with a somber coating Of brown mud,
two little panes being let into the walls
for windows. Behind it were the
"sheep kraals'' and to the right large
dam, now principally containing baked
mud. Far of the little "kopje" con-
cealed the homestead and was not IT.
self an object conspicuous enough to
relieve the dreary monotony Of the
landscape.
Before the door sat Gregory Rose In
his shirt sleeves, on camp stool, and
ever and anon he sighed deeply. There
was that in his countenance for which
even his depressing circumstances fail
ed to account. Again and again he look
ed at the little "kopje," at the milk
pail at his side and at the brown pony,
who short way off cropped the dry
bushes-and sighed.
Presently he rose and went into h10
house. 1t was one tiny room, the
whitewashed walls profusely covered
with prints cut from The illustrated
London News, and in which there was
a noticeable preponderance Of female
faces and figures. A stretehers nlled
one end Of the hut and rack 1or
a gun and a little hanging looking
glass diversified the gable opposite,
while in the center stood chair and
table. All was scrupulously neat and
clean, for Gregory kept little duster
| folded in the corner Of his table drawer,
| just as he had seen his mother do, and
every morning before he went out he
said his prayers and made his bed and
busted the table and the legs Of the
chairs, and even the pictures on the
wall and the gun rack.
On this hot afternoon he took from
beneath his pillow watch bag made
by his sister Jemima and took out the
watch. Only half past 4! With sup
pressed groan he dropped 1t back and
sat down beside the table. Half past a!
Presently he reused himself. He would
write to his sister Jemima. He always
wrote to her when he was miserable.
She was his safety valve. He forgot
her when he was happy, but he used
her when he was wretched.
He took out ink and paper. There
was family crest and motto on the
latter, for the Roses since coming to
the colony had discovered that they
were of distinguished lineage. Old
Rose himself, an honest English farm
er, knew nothing of his noble descent,
but his wife and daughter knew-espe-
cially his daughter. There were Roses
in England who kept park and dated
from the conquest. So the colonial
Rose farm became Rose manor in re-
membrance Of the ancestral domain,
and the claim Of the Roses to noble
blood was established-in their minds
at least.
Gregory took up one Of the white,
crested sheets, but on deeper refec-
ton he determined to take d pink one,
as more suitable to the state of his
] feelings. He began:
