No one who has not seen an African
kopje can easily realize it. 1t is not a
hill so much as the stump of a hill-what
is left of it after ages Of denudation; but
the special feature of it is that it is al
most invariably covered witt breast
work of boulders. Tropical torrents have
washed away the earth and all the solu-
BILE components of the rock, and what is
left consists of heaps and lines of de-
tached masses of sandstone, ironstone or
granite. The kopjes are the Beers forti-

Of the Boer families, it is said that in
1873 there were only 10000 whites and
100000 negroes in the Transyaal; in the
Orange Free State there were 10000
whites and $4,000 negroes. Now the
number of the white element in the two

underestimate and that the figures are

CHAPTER XXI.

He had not been mistaken. It was
Helen who had crept out after him in the
darkness, and whose slight figure, in her
pale blue dress, stood close by him in an
angle of the road. How long she had
stood there and what she had heard he
did not know. He expected torrent of
abuse and storm of reproaches from
her, but she refrained from either. She
passed her arm within his and walked be-
side him for several minutes in silence.
Maurice, who felt rather guilty, was
weak enough to say, hesitatingly:
1.-The night was so fine, I strolled out
to smoke. I met Miss Nevill at the gate
of the yicarage."

There is no harm, / suppose, in thatr'
he added, irritably.
''Harm oh, dear, no; whoever said
there was? By the way, is not this freak
of yours of going out into the roads to
smoke, alone, rather slight on your
guest? Here is Mr.. Wilde; how very
amusing! we all seem to be drawn out
toward the vicarage tonight"
Denis Wilde, in fact. had followed in
the wake of his hostess, and they met
him now by the lodge gates.
How very strangew Helen called to
him, in her scornfm, bantering voice;
'how strange that we should all have
gone out for solitary rambles, and all
met in the same place; and there was
Miss Neyill out in the vicarage garden,
also on solitary ramble.

1t Was Cruel.

She was really very timid, says the
Washington Star.
And was he quite sure it would not
hurt her?
It was SO annoying to be suddenly
frightened.
A dead open-and-shut brace game of
security from harm.
How nice! No, she did not under
stand exactly, but, as she had never,
never seen a real live, red bat, she
might take just one peep, just peep,
into the cute little box he had in his
hand
Would the bat really wink it's twin
king batty, beady bugles at her, and
squeak a little squeaky squirt of a
squeak! How funny he was.
Mercy! Don't open the box yet
Give her time to prepare herself.
Yes, he could hold her hand as an
assurance of his presence, and support,
if necessary.
No squeezing, though.
Now, open the lid SO carefully that
the little bat cannot fly out and tear
her fluffy fluff1ets.
And she was sold as Greek slave in
the market-place of the streets of Cairo
by brickbat.

In the U. S. S,,nate on Tuesday
last Mr.. Beveridgey the new Repuoli'
can senator from Indiana, spoke on
expansion and Mr.. HOar, Republican,
of Massac hussetts, against expansion
Here are the speeches, and they are
we'll worth reading:
Mr.. Beverage began his address by
saying that Senators and Represent
atlves on both sides had asked him to
give his impression OF the Far East,
the result of his observations. de
was further impelled to do so "be-
cause of the hurtful resolutions in
troduced and uttersnces made IN the
Senate, every word of which will
cost and is costing US the lives OF
American soldiers"
Mr.. Beveridge thanked God that
"He has marked us as His chosen
people, henceforth to lead in the re-
generation Of the world" and de-
clared the Philippines 10 be territory
belonging to the United States,never
to be aban doued. He added:

tered upon a review Of the military
situation in the Philippines and
warmly defended the administration
