shy and wild, but the good woman was
indefatigable in her efforts to tame
him, and finally she was rewarded
with astonishing success. As the
young baboon grew mp he became very
much attached TO his benefactress, and
there was no mistaking his gratitude
Finally his benefactress christened
him stoffel in memory of little boy
Of her own. long since dead, and thus
the time soon came when she would
not have parted with Stoffe No. for
the wealth Of the Indies.
But one morning. to the great sur.
prise Of Mother Pincus, a young lady
baboon came down from the hills and
began to make love to Stoffel Nearly
a week passed before she finally tri.
umphed and led him away.
The following morning. however he
returned, and after watching him for
a day or two, Mother Pihcus concluded
that considerable business was mixed
up with his love affair. Indeed, the
Beers, who relate almost incredible
stories about the intelligence Of these
coiored balloons, claim that the EN-.
bassy OF the maiden was merely a
trick to seduce him from his al.
legiance to his benefactress and that,
on his first visit to the kloof. Stoffel
was Immediately appointed to the
leadership Of the baboon army on ac.
count of his preeminent intelligence
and knowledge of the outside world.
One day horseman galloped up to
the store and reported that war had
broken out between the Beers and the
Macatees and that the baboons in the
pass were evidently aware OF the fact,
for swarms of Them were coming down
from the heights and were preparing
for trouble. Ten days later the Beers
were defeated with considerable loss
at Johannes Kop and, encouraged by
the tidings, the Mapock Kafirs flew 10
arms and rushed up the valley towards
Steelpoort burning and Staying. AT
their approach the women and chill
dren on the farms fed in terror. and
just before nightfall nearly 100 of
these panic-stricken refugees entered
the pass, with a large commando OF
Kafrs close at their heels.
The story of the encounter that fol
lowed between the baboons and the
Kafirs is derived partly from the ac.
count OF the Boer women, but prin.
cipally from survey of the battle.
