She heard the click of the gate latch as 1t closed after Buckley and the low voices of the governor and her father through the open window of the sitting room. She was calm, but white to the lips. She began to look for her handkerchief, which she had dropped. She returned to the drawing room, looking carefully at the carpet near the spot where she had sat It was not there. She re turned again, to the veranda and then went down the graveled walk to the summer house, entering the compart- ment adjoining the one in which Tel fare and Buckley had held their con versation There on the bench lay her handkerchief. Grasping it in her tense fingers, she sat down and buried her face in her hands.

.BOER PRESIDENT
KRUGER IS DEAD
Continued From First Page.

He avoided references to the Boer
war; but when it was occasionally
mentioned he showed mo resentment,
and expressed the belief that "Provi-
dence would eventually render justice
to the Boer cause"
monia caused by sclerosis Of the
arteries.
Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger was
a native Of Cape Colony, having been
born at Colesberg Oct TO- 1925. At the
age Of II he accompanied his parents on
the great trek" of the Beers from the
colony a movement which resulted in
the colonization by Beers of Natal, the
Orange Free State and the TransvaaI.
Kruger and his parents stayed for time
in the Orange Free State, but later moved
across the Vaal.
AT Is Kruger was an assistant to a
| field cornet and soon after he became
a cornet himself. From that time he was
constantly connected with the military
or civil government Of the Transvaal, his
| force Of character gradually bringing him
| to the front.
| In 1868 he became comnlandant general
and as such put down several civil feuds
and defeated the Basutos. q native tribe.
| When the Transvaal was annexed to
the British territories Kruger was vice
president under President Burgers. Upon
| the reorganization Of the SBoer govern
ment by the national committee in 1880
he again assumed thesofficea Of vice presi-
dent, taking a leading part in the wal
of 1SS0-S1 with Great Britain He was
elected president in 1888, and reelected
| in 1888, 1898 and 1898.
He visited England in 1883 to obtain q
| revision of the Pretoria convention OF
1881, secured practical independence for his
country except IN so far as relations with

foreign countries were concerned, and OBJ
tanned permission to name the Transvaal
the South African Republic. This gave
him almost unlimited authority among
his people.
Discoveries Of gold brought in great
numbers of foreigners. The Beers deter
mined to resist foreign aggression and
the Uitlanders complained Of injustice on
the part of the Beers. The British South
African company also entered as a dis
turbing element. The Jameson raid Of
December, 1895, was the immediate crisis,
but it was quickly checked by the Beers.
The Jameson raid led the Beers to pre-
pare for an even greater struggle which
they felt was inevitable with England.
Military stores were rapidly accumulated.
Kruger directed the diplomacy preceding
the war with England with great skill,
but struggle could not be averted.
( Kruger remained in his country until
the fall of Pretoria, June 5, 1900, when
he fled to Portuguese territory and thence
to Europe, hoping to enlist the aid of
some of the powers there for the Beers.
He made his home in Holland. In 1901
he planned to come to the United States.
but, on being informed that the president
would receive him in an unofficial man
ner only, he abandoned the plan. His
wife died in Pretoria in July, 1901.
