FAIRFIELD

Some weeks ago there was a ire
mendous row at HulPs Farms, caused
by one Kosteski coming home drunk,
and pulling his wife's hair, and beat
ing her. She took the children and
fled the house, sending many distress
ing and hysterical messages by tele-
phone to Clitus King. The purport
of the alarm was that bloody murder
was being done. Officers rushed to
the place and found Kosteski in a
state of booze, lying on the floor be-
fore fire in an open crate. He was
arrested and admonished. The same
Frank Kosteski was again up before
Justice Wakeman on yesterday, charg-
ed with the same offence-assault up
on his wife. He had procured in
some accommodating place bottle
of whiskey, and the wife objected to
it's being consumed in the house. 1t
Is said she called her husband names,
and that becoming angry, as result

family, which is well kept by the
wife, sentence WAS suspended for six
months, and Attorney King appoint

report every week, and if during this
period he fools with fire water, he
will be sent to Jail.

Sore Feet? Never After Using TTZ-
Goodbye sore feet, aching feet.
swollen feet,sweaty feet, smelling feet,
tired feet.
Goodbye corns. callouses and bum
ions and raw spots.
You've never tried anything like
TIZ before for your feet. 1t is Diff
fcrent from anything ever before sold,
1t acts at once and makes the feet
feel remarkably fresh and sore-proof.
TIZ is not a powder. Powders and
other foot remedies clog up the
pores. TIZ draws out all poisonous
exudations which bring on soreness
of the feet, and is the only remedy
that does. TIZ cleans out every pore
and glorifies the feet-your feet
You'll never limp again or draw UP
your face in pain, and you'll forget
about your corns, bunions and cal
louses. You'll feel like a new person
If you don't find all this true after
trying a box of TIZ, you can get your
money right back.

do much in that time. He had nc
scruples, for he had drunk to his fl
of the life-stream of Africa's frontier;
he had taken to himself the lessons
of the life about him, digesting its
doctrines in so far as they fitted iIl
with a nature more than inclined to
callous disregard for any gentler
feelings.
Just what necessity might dictate
he would accept, nor did he care what
the means that must be adopted He
was beyond the pale Of mems laws,
he reminded himself, his only law
was that which gives to the stronger.
After ALL he told himself, that was
the principle which had prompted the
compact, so why should he do other
wise than retort in a like manner
Yes. there was a way out. A way
that would accomplish both objects
to his perfect satisfaction. He would
possess Mary, and remain true to his
mission and his life's work
A solitary ride of thirty-eight miles
gives scope for wide reflection, es-
pecially when the journey is over a
wilderness of thorn-bush and parch-
ing veldt, without sign of habita-
ton, and almost without a sign of
life. Human passions run riot when
unchecked by the narrowing inf1u-
ences of civilized surroundings. The
primitive is the element uppermost at
such time, and man, like every
other creature, takes color from the
world in which he lives.
1t was not until the ROOF Grond
was but few miles distant that Guy
reused himself from the fascination
of contemplating his rivals undoing.
Then he found that day was waning.

solitude of his rude shelter in the
deserted fruit gardens He was in no
mood for solitude, long day on the

thought of his purpose. he abruptly
turned his horses head in the direc-
ton of Mafeking.

self that Mary had entered upon a
new lease of life. And she was not
quite sure that she did not mean it
literally. Some women, as age creeps
on, broaden out into a gentle, large
minded wisdom In those things which
appeal to their sex. 1t is a browning
glory of age which never fails to
claim the respect of even extreme
youth. Other women narrow as the
years increase, clinging desperately TO
the illusions of foolish girlhood, and
SO rendered themselves an object of
open rfdicule in the eyes of the world.
Emily was one Of the former. She
saw with eyes of sympathy and love,
and understood with a mind tried by
the fires of pitiiess experience.

held last night at its lodge rooms

success that others similar in char

When Guy Chalmer headed away
from the store at Sitlagoli, striking
out for the border-road that was to
carry him direct to the Roof Grond,
his spirits were high. he was brim-
ming with hope and confidence. His
star of ambition was shining directly
before him. its rosy light thrilled and
encouraged him, and his stout Free
State horse felt -the- effect of his
mood. But frothing spirits need a
continual support to keep them at
such O. level The calm of virgin ma
ture. the quiet of rolling veldt. the
absence of all that can stir the nerves,
drops the froth and leaves it the fiat
wine shorn of its artificial crown. !
Before he had travelled many miles,
i'm the calmness of reflection, Guy
which had fallen to his lot would
take him completely out of Mary's
life
In a moment his confidence desert
sionate desire rose in revolt. and the
mine OF his hopes bottomed upon the
bedrock 1t was but a step from that
TO . further realization The six
months. low estimate for the double
journey. would carry him beyond the
allotted date of his compact with her
husband What then? His dark face
grew painfully serious. and his brow
heavy with angry perplexity.
He passed woodhouse KraaI, and
his horses raking strides bore him
away on towards the Lower Marit-
zani Road Once he pressed a hand
tiers were lying folded in his belt, and
he asked himself, rs it worth it?''
He was thinking of Mary. He knew
that he was face to face with crisis
i'm his fortunes. The last cast was
about to be made in the great con-
spiracy, and he held the rod. Was
. anything worth while that might in
terfere with that? No, his common
was worth the sacrifice. No woman
could compensate for the loss of all
that he had worked for. And yet
the thought aggravated him; it heat
dark cheeks-she would be left to
that other He hated the man with
an utterly unreasoning hatred. She
had been his; she had loved him. and
drawn him to her side. He was GER
tain she had only drawn back now
i'm a moment OF virtuous scruple. The
feeling would pass, and-and-he felt
ne could not leave her to the man
who had dared to dictate terms to
him.
All, yes, there were those terms
Ferman Elwood had made it a mat
ter of life and death for them both
He had appointed himself the arbiter
of their fate He had said it must
be win or die. And If he went on
this mission, and the lapsing of the
time of the compact brought no sign
from him, it would, according to FL
wood, mean death for him, Chalmer,
by his own hand.
He laughed at the absurdity of it.
He had got to kill himself-not much
He was not going to sacrifice any
thing to Elwood, much less his life
And yet, if he went he would be CIV
ing Mary up; and then what would
Elwood do? He would demand his
life Psha, He put the thought from
him and began again.
This time he reverted to the
thought which had been with him al
