RI IS ALL OVER.

with PretOila IN the hands
Of the British, the last hope
Of the Ira nsvaal will vanish.
In this, their hour OF gloom.
the synpathies OF the world
go out to them. Before the
mighty the weak have sue
cumbed. Within q few years
all will he forgotten and the
world will have resumed its
old way. The stronger and
filter has survived. Il h e|
weak have perished.
More than d half century
ago Darwin established the
theory OF the survival of the
fittest as applied to man and
beast. At this time it would
seem that he might have
gone further and applied the
same law to nations, for one
by one the little nations are
disappearing from the map,
merged into the greater. Nor
will this great change stop
with the Transvaal. In time,
Turkey, Italy, Spain, Portu-
gal and the South American
prin"ipalities will cut no fig
ure in the worlds history.
There will be four or Ave
great nations, and they kare
easily named, and these,
when there are no other
worlds to conquer may dwell
together in peace or fight it
out among themselves. Or
course, this is but surmise,
but history justifies the sup
position.
But there is no reason to
imagine that the world will
be of the worse for the
change. The domain of llb.
erty is widening day by day.
England is almost as free a
country as America. France
is republican in form and in
fact. The liberal sentiment
is growing in Germany and
in despotic Russia there are
signs of the dawn. If the
earth and the iullness thereof
ls to be controlled by the
quintet when A. d. 1000 is
written, there is no reason to
imagine that the inhabitants
thereof will he any worse by
reason Of the great change.
And, in fact, they may bp bet
ter. The Transvaal and the
Orange Free State will be bet
ter off in a few years hence
than they have ever been in
the past; There will be great
er freedom, more liberal com.
merce and greater prosperity
The old Beers will mourn iof
the old days, but the young

conciled to the change. Gin

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS.
Trial OF Wen Accused of Trying to De-

Wclland, Ont, May 25.-The trial
of pullman, Nolin and Walsh, charg-
ed with attempting to destroy Lock
No. "A of the Welland canal, was be-
gun here Thursday.
Mr.. Johnston, the crown prosecu-
tor, in addressing the jury, said he
proposed to show in the evidence that
Walsh and Nolin committed the crime
and to show the connection of Dull
man with those two, the theory be-
ing that his was the master mind con-
trolling the other two.
Several witnesses were heard, the
evidence being with view to identi-
flying Walsh and NOlin as the men
who took valises to the WelIand
canal on the night of the explosion.
Miss Constable swOre she had seen
the two men go to the lock with their
valises and leave hurriedly just before

Saved His Pets Life.

Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, VIXEN he
was gigs midshipman in the Tweed al
Rio, got hold of a small monkey, which
he smuggled aboard in the captains
cloak bag, and then slowed in the scut-
tie of the mid's berth, as pets of that
nature were not allowed. When under
sail Keppel was invited to dine with
the captain, and unluckily the monkey,
who had been let for a run by a mess
maie, found its way to the cabin. The
captain called the sentry and ordered
him tc throw the poor little beast over
bo,Ad, but the marines first movement
frightened the monkey and sent it fly
ing onto Keppel's shoulders, clutchiLg
him round the forehead with its paws.
OF course this at once proved who was
the culprit, but the captain relented
and the monkey was saved.-Chicago

CHAPTER X.-CoNTINUED.

Armstrong took the missive held out
to him and slowly read it, the general
studying his face the while. The let
ter bore no clew as to the wheI eabouts
of the writer. 1t read:

row to you and ruin to myself by desert

Armstrong; firm lips twitched IN
der his mustache. The general, with
moist eyes, had risen from his chair and
mechanically held forth his hand.
Poor lad!" sighed Armstrong. "Of
course-you know who the girl was?"

shrugged his shoulders.

were no longer restricted to his tent,

"Col Armstrong, i have heard only
to-day that Mr.. Gray is in really serious
danger. VIII you tell me-the truth?'
Just what Armstrong expected it
might be hard to say. The light that
had leaped to his e.-es faded slowly and
his face lost something of the flush of
robust health. There was brief pause
before he spoke as though he wished
time to weigh his words.
Il fear it is true" he gravely said.
Then in moment: 'AIiss Lawrence,
will you not take my arm?" And he
felt her hand tremble as she placed it
there. 1t was a moment before she be-

great favor? Will you be his counsel?'
