While those in the line above him
were guessing he worked out the ans

hearing the whispered computation Of
an older boy next below him, he accept

came his turn, young Shafter called out
promptly, ''Thiuy-two."

CHAPTER vi.
THE ARTIST,

Sprague was dilettante In art az
rich, he might perhaps have become
a great artist. But, lacking the spur
of poverty, he seemed incapable of
sustained effort. Occasionally he was
seized with frenzy for labor; and,
for weeks at time he would shut
himself up in his studio, until he had
crcditably accomplished some bit of
work. But the fever was soon spent,
and reaction invariably followed,
during which palette and brush were
taken up only in desultory fashion.
Thus it was that at the age Of eight
and twenty, Sprague had painted q
few pictures which had attracted ia
vorable attention at the annual exhi-
billions of the Academy of Design, and
which the critics had spoken of as
''promising;" and thus it was that
the promise was as yet unfulfilled,
and that Sprague, though a man of
undoubted talent. was not likely ever
to rank as genius in his profession.
Sturgis, with his keen insight into
human nature. fully realized the po-
tential capacities Of the artist. and at
times he could not control his impa-
thence Mt his friends inert drifting
through life. But, with all their diff
ferences. these two men held each

Most men. under the circumstances,
would have betrayed some vexs tion
at being thus unceremoniousIy dis

Of annoyance in Sprague's CHEEKY

Little Miss BlOckhead.
(By Augusta Kortrecht)
When supper is all finished and the
baby's put to bed,
And father takes ME on his knee, and
says: Now, Miss Blockhead,"
And tells me which words Rover, and
which is Snow, the cat,
And says it ten times over, and 40 more
than that;
And everything is nice and STILL and
quiet as mouse,
And I'm the only blockhead there in all
our great big house;
Why, after while, it gets so plain, new
er say it wrong,
And father says he knows I'll read be-
fore SO very long
Then CAT spells Cat" of course. and
DOG spells Dog
And readings just as easy as falling of
log
But when tomorrow comes again, and
then l go to school,
Where there's much things to remem
Der. and you mustn't break the
rule,
And teacher says to answer Here (or
Absent l fOrgeD
And minds us every minute most, and
so times more yet
And everything is fussy-like, and lots
of boys are there.
And Tom Green makes face at me and
: Daisy pulls my hair,
Then teacher says "Spsannah, dear
you must let your voice fall,
And when l can't she says she's 'fraid
I'll never read at all.
Then CAT spells Rover" and DOG
spells "Snow."
And readings just the hardest thing

In south Africa.

Ten years ago the land of kopjes and
veldts extending from Cape Town to the
Zambezi, containing an area Of 800, 900
square miles; white population of
900 900, and black population of g.
500 ,00O was little known to the mass
of the American people. Not so today
because of the bloody tragedy being en-
acted there.
Eighteen months ago the British gov
eminent considered that the long looked
for time had come to add the South
African republic to the British empire.
and the British people, believing that
their capitalists were being unjustly
treated by the South African republic,
acquiesced, confident that the taking
possession would be in the nature of
picnic-could be accomplished by $4,000
men.
Almost Is months have passed since
President Kruger astounded the world
by throwing down the gauntlet to the
British government, and although Pre-
toria and johannesburg have been occu-
pied by the Hiberno-Indian Roberts
and the "Omdurman Butcher" Kitch-
ener, the South African republic and
Orange Free State burghers appear to
be as far from subjugation as a year
ago.
The recent invasion of the Cape of
Good Hope has struck terror into the
British government as 1t realizes that
the Dutch of the Cape of Good Hope
(who number three-ffths of the white
population) are only waiting for pro-
pitious opportunity to join hands with
their kinsmen of the allied republics.
The British government knows that If
the Cape Dutch take up arms the Cape OF
Good Hope is lost to the empire.
The claim of British statesmen that
$4,000 men could subjugate the South
African republic has shown the under
estimated power of Boer resistance when
100000 have been unable to accomplish
the feat Had the British people un-
derstOod what the subjugatiOn of the
South African republic would have cost
in men and treasure, it would never
have been attempted.
Today we know that the people of the
British isles are not unanimous. that

"This. think" he continued, "cov-
ers all the evidence we have thus far

as yet no satisfactory data whatever;

dence of witnesse and has, more

There is, however, one fact that may,

are contemporaneous, and, therefore,
that they may be related?"

ton between the two?"inquired Thurs

boy, are like words. A word is only

Therefore the man sends the valentine

pain that they employ little arts to
attract the other sex; that, save the
mark. they behave. here and there, as
if everything they could do should be
