From the shelter of thick bush
beyond the river three men were
watching the dying bonfire They
had lust seen Sam GoOdall ride
away. There were two white men
and a Kaffir.
The white men were talking to-
gether, and the Kaffir, with his
keen eyes fixed on tse glowing fire,
was listening to what was said. One
of the white men was the Boer, Es-
thuisen; the other, towering over
him. was Ferman Eiwood. The KAT

Il was then ,AA, sam Goodall &C
companied the hcrter on his quest
FOR rcsh meat.
Old Esthuisen watched him 20
from his bed under the wagon. As
soon as he was out Of SIGHT he
rose from his blankets and went
over to his TWO nephews, with whom
ne held a long and animated con
yersaion. Nor, AZ its conclusion, did
he or they return to their rest,
but sat around furuye'y watching
,he woo's beyond the river Their
manner was expectant, doubtful. like
men who are aware that something
is about to happen in which they
are concerned and yet are not fully
cognizaut of its nature.
sam Goodau was standing beside
l,raal of wachtein-beche bush
watching the Kaffir herder who,
assisted by two small naked urch-
ms and a long-haired yellow dog
was driving the flock of goats and
sheep into it for his selection. Be
hind him stood a waffle hut, in the
doorway Of which crouche' an aged
Kafir and his yrouw.
He was az the top Of the hill
beyond the river, where a plateau
of high yedt stretched ont before
him. The woods were behind, and
o the right and left the plateau
fell away in long grassy s.opes.
He watched the Kaffr's maneuy-
ers with interest The boy was in
defatigable in his efforts as We're
the children and the dog But the
goats were obstinate and the sheep
as silly as only sheep can be. The
creatures would steadily approach
the kraal entrance, and the leaders
would even enter it. Then something
would startle the rest, and thew
would head off at right angles, and
the work would have to be begun
over again.
The herders patience seemed in
eXhaustible. Again and again he
brought the stupid creatures up
only to see them break away again,
Sam Goodall was getting tired of it.
He had already spent nearly an
hour looking on at the boys sue
cession of failures. His impatience
brought him an llea. Why no, shoot
the sheep he had selected, a fine
