De VETS ESCAPE.
Now the Boer Commander Slipped
Through the british Gordon.

now tht boer nlnuuer Nlipptu
Through the british Gordon.
4 correspondent in Cape Colony gives
an amusing account of how General
De Wet slipped through the Gordon
which the British had drawn around
him and recrosscd the orange river on
his return from his last raid into the
Colony. says the New York sun.
4 British column, it seems, was
camped AT a place called Woopsfontein
about ten miles from Colesbcrg. aud
an outpost of five men was stationed
away on the right flank on a farm
about ten miles nearer the orange riy-
or. The officer commanding the out
post with two men took up position
ON q kopie commanding the road com
ing through q drift ON the Sea Cow rlv-
or, while three men remained below
The night was cloudy, but mooulit-
just the night for De Wet.
Presently the silence was broken 10y
the sound of a voice In the distance
singing "bIisy. Daisy, give me your
answer true and "a number Of voices
Joined in the chorus OF the well known
ditty But who were the singers :
"Thcy must surely be some of our own
mcn belonging to another column "
said one of the outpost The sound 81
the hoolS of many horses was heard
drawing nearer Then they passed
along the road below the kopic toward
Culc-horg bridge The three men at
ihc foot lay quiet ana so ala those ON
;hc kopie, hut presently one Of the pass.
crshy came straight 10 the men below
and nearly tumblcd over one Of them.
"Hcllo" he exclaimed. what are
you doing here; Why, he's a British.
er! bands up"
The Britisher's hands went up, and
in a moment he and his companions
were prisoners. Then those on the hills
were discovered, and one OF the Beers
called out:
Come down out Of that! You have
nothing TO fear! We are British"
Are youT replied the officer. Then
send a couple Of unarmed fellows to
fetch me-"
Firing then began, and the captured
men, who were let 90 after the Beers
had crossed the Orange river at Le-
liefontcin just below Colesberg bridge,
told when they got back how one Of the
British bullets nearly struck De Wet,
who was speaking 10 them AT the time.
DE wet sprang to one side and said,
"StapG little this way" as he changed
his position.
The writer says that a dozen colonels
and about $1,000 men would have Civ
en- anything 10 be where that outpost
was that night The officer did not re-
main long ON the kopje with his two
men when hc found what was happen
ing, but mounted and galloped back to
camp at Wocpsfontein TO report In
due time the sun rose, and the column
started westward TO TIamelfontcin,
where it arrived at midday. by which
time De Wet, in the opposite direction,
was probably crossing the Orange river
at Lelicfoutein.
4 conference was held by the COM
manders of the two columns, after
which the Woepsfonteln column with
its cumbersome convoy returned to it,
camping place 10y the same way II had
come in the morning. BY the time ii
got back the report was brought in
that De Wet had crossed the river.

The Leader condoles with the
family in this hour of be-
reavement. But who can fathom
the depths of their sorrow, or measure
the bounds of their grief? The tears
of those who mourn the death of a
child are bitter, scalding tears-tears
that come hot and quick, tears that
come endlessly from the bottomless
depths of a parents heart. In times
like this let us give the bereaved ones
sympathy-let us bow the head in the
presence of the grief they seek to
stife while it gnaws at the heart
strings-let all stand uncovered in the
presence of such parental grief.
