away, that shot was too high"
Perhaps 1shmael might have done so,
for the man was beside himself. but the
kaffirs would have no more of It, They
rushed between them. lifting their spears
threateningly, and shouting that they
would not allow the blood of the white
lord and the curse of the InkosaZana to
be brought upon their heads and those
OF their families. Rather than that they
would bind him. Ibubesi. and give him
over to the Zulus. Then whether or not
he had really meant to kill Richard,

that you will send no such message
Now the brute, Ishmael, rushed at him
to strike him in the face. But Richard
saw him coming. and bound though he
was. put down his head and butted at
him 20 fiercely. that being much the
stronger man, he knocked him to the

Then he shuffled toward her. Bending
down he kissed her on the face, and
she kissed him back: no more words
passed between them; this was their
farewell. Two Of the Kaffirs lifted Ish-
mael. and helped him from the yard,
whilst the other two led away Richard,
who made no resistance. At the gate he
turned, and their eyes met for a mo-
ment. Then it closed behind him, and
she was left alone again.

SHERIFF AND
WIFE THROWN
BY RUNAWAY
Shaft Broke While Going to
Harvest Home on Georges
Road and Horse BoIted.
BOTH BADLY BRUISED

New Brunswick, Aug. 7:-Sheriff
William H. Quackenboss and his
wife had narrow escape from seri-
GUS injury Thursday night when
they were hurled out of a road wa
gon in which they were driving out
Georges road.
The sheriff and his wife were on
their way to the Harvest Home of
driving a black horse hitched to a
road wagon.
When near the Red Lion tavern
at about 1880 o'clock a spring which
held the shaft to the axle became
loosened and one side of the shaft
dropped. This frightened the horse
and he plunged forward and snapped
off the other side of the shaft.
The sudden stopping of the car
riage pitched Mrs. Quackenboss out,
but beyond slight scratch of one
ankle she escaped injury.
In the meantime the sheriff pluck
fly holding on to the reins was
dragged over the dashboard and
landed heavily on his left shoulder.
He still held on in vain effort to
stop the horse, but after being
dragged about fifty feet along the
road was compelled to let go.
The horse ran about half mile
further along the road and was
caught by farmer.
Except for badly bruised shoul-
der and arm the sheriff escaped in
jury He got good shaking up,
however, and is feeling the effects OF
1t today.
