The reason South African passen-
gers are selected is that they are
usually in too much of a hurry to
get south to stay behind and prose-
cute in the event of the police being
sanguine of capture. Besides, they
carry their boarded earnings in the
convenient form of gold. More than
once lately magistrates have dis

cause no prosecutor appeared, al
though the police could have pro-
duced long lists of previous convic-
tions.
The other day an engineer, bourd
for Pretoria, had a bag taken from

peared to be consumed by a restless
anxiety. Then the man appeared,
breathing hard.

sham traveller; and the reply was

A 6 so note-a clash" one, prob

In an apologize way the man for
