Funeral of Dom Paul.

Pretoria, Dee. 16.-The funeral to-
day of Mr.. Kruger was made the oc-
casion for a great demonstration of
the respect and affection in which the
memory of the late president is held
by the people Of the Tfansvaal. The
sentimental interest attached to the
occasion was increased by the fact
that today was the anniversary of that
day in 1880 when, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Kruger, met and swore to
fight for independence In conformity
with the well.known views of the late
president the funeral ceremonies were
of a simple character, though none
theless impressive. Thousands of cit
izehs of the Transvaal, as well as OF
the former republic of Orange, assem-
bled to do honor to the remains.

PRISONER OF

1t was the ideal brook for trout.
Down between two hills it rambled in
zigzag fashion, gray lichened rocks
breaking its course into miniature
maelstrOms and little fussy, foaming
cataracts until it reached the broad,
willow shaded pond in the valley.
Burroughs tramped leisurely uphill.
1t was nearly noon, and he was due
at The Pines at l for luncheon, but
each deep, green pool tempted him to
q fresh cast, and the air was warm and
lazy. He chose a fat rock, shelving
corner of the brook and seated himself
for a final chance at the speckled
charmers that flashed like quicksilver
through the water now and then.
Far below him there was the faint
popping of fireworks in the village,
and beyond, out at the Narrows. the
cannon of the forts doomed every once
in awhile in honor of the birthday of
freedom. But Burroughs was apathet-
1c to the sound. There was a glamour
about the wooded, rock ribbed hills and
delicious silence that appealed to his
city wearied mind.
Charley had promised him a Fourth

his daughter were to spend half of the
day at The Pines and had long ex-
pressed a desire to meet the literary
chrysalis of the hour.
"You don't have to show off, old
man." his brother-in-law had said re-
assuringly. They're old stock, you
know, and live plain, but exclusive,
even if the old tar has twin millions
tied up somewhere. 1t will be just
pleasant little Liberty day party, and
1 think you'll like Bess Hilbert
Burroughs rather thought he would
too. He had seen her photograph, a
large platino type, whose delicate tones
brought out the beauty of the gay,
girlish face, and it had appealed to his
artistic sense.
The bamboo rod quivered gently, and
before he could think twice he had a
trout flashing upward in the sunlight.
At the same instant a hand gripped
his coat collar firmly.
Il kind of thought I'd ketch ye, SON.
ny, this time Jest drop thet pole."
"Clear out, will you" gasped Bur-
roughs wrathfully, but a friendly rap
on the knuckles from a knotty stick
sent the rod flying, and he faced his as
sailant. He was a tall, stoop shoul-
dered old man, with shrewd, twinkling
eyes, a broad brimmed straw hat and
chin whiskers.
''Ive been lookin' for you. sonny, for
several weeks" he said pleasantly.
"Kind of like our trout, don't yep

you will take your hand off my collar

"Course you would; tickled to death

didn't contain any mention of fines. IF

One is at disadvantage with hand
OIL steel on the collar, just where the
knuckles can grind persuasively into
the neck, and a hickory rod is being
juggled over ones head. Burroughs

attempt.

you keep him. and I'm going to hang

The hours crept by. Burroughs
walked back and forth in his prison.
He wondered if they would send a
search party after him. Hiram brought
fresh water to him several times and
chatted pleasantly through the broad
cracks of the crib where the sunlight
filtered through in broad rays of golden
notes. But the hickory club was in
readiness for possible mutiny, and Bur
roughs knew his cause was hopeless.
When twilight came and he lay down
from sheer weariness of walking Hi

at his friends place were right pretty,
and he thought grimly that no one was
worrying on his account after all.
About 8 o'clock carriage wheels
