Stories OF De Wet, the dashing COM
mander Of the Beers, are nearly all In
teresting. Capt. Reichmann, In the
Journal Of the Military Service lnsti-
tuition, gives striking illustration OF
the Generals GOODNESS and audacity:
The wagon-train was slowly coming
on under clouds Of dust, and not sin

as my observations went, there were
no soldiers with the first six or eight
wagons, which were Of the lighter kind.

At last the heavy. wagons were APP

twelve mules each, and on most Of the
wagons sat one or more soldiers, facing
to the rear to watch events there, and
wholly unconscious Of their danger.
Gen. De Wet stood up In plain view.
and called and beckoned to the British
soldiers to come In"
They were taken entirely by sur
prise, and came In, and were put away
in a safe place under high bank north
OF the crossing. As the wagons APP
preached, one after another, the Gem
eral called to the soldiers to come In"
and directed the wagons to pull to the
right or left Of the road.
1t seemed as II De Wet were going to
capture single-handed the entire train.

his right hand, and his left hand In the
air, reckoning ''come In"
Not d shot was fred and everybody
kept concealed. The thing went on for
ffteen minutes or more, and soon there
was q considerable number Of wagons
at the crossing lying helplessly under

prisoners under the bank Of the creek
was increasing rapidly. and the string
| OF wagons still coming on extended al
| the way back to the British camp.
Considering concealment no longer
necessary, we stood mp. walked over t.
the prisoners. and took some snap shots
