Dangers of the Veldt.

The Widow Detzer beamed upon the
rawlxy figure of Hans Breitman with
smile comprehensive enough to sun a
generous portion of Limpopo Valley.
..Just give her little time, Hans" She
slapped the arm Of the young Boer farmer
with the enthusiastic approved of ma

when she sees him. "Greta has silly
ideas in her head. but they will come out,
Hans, my boy, and she will make you a
fine wife
Hans Breitman's face purpled like an
unweeded beet patch. He thrust forth
his hand. but Greta shrank from him and
sought protection behind the shapeiess
bulk of her mother.
'fNeyer you mind, Hans" encouraged
the Widow Detzer. Pretty soon she will
forget about the fine English officer, and

ewes significantly Hans numbered away

towering above her daughter with pudgy
arms akimbo, proceeded to pluck the silly
ideas from Greta's head. Her face was
stern. for years of hard work had crushed
out whatever youth she might have had.

thou shalt nots of her people, Greta burst
into tears.
The Widow Detzer was flabbergasted.
In all her experience she mad never

be happy. Anyhow, Capt Raleigh never
asked YOU to marry him, did be-
The Widow Detzer's sneer proved an
effectual ultimatum. Greta walked from
the room in fearful evaporation. Argu-
ments would do no good-her mother
had never been young, had never been
in love, and she would never understand.
And all the other girls she knew had
married the men chosen by their pa
rents She must obey, of course, though

And even as she ascended the stair
way TO her room she caught a glimpse
of Hans flirting with Freda, the coarse
buxom servant girl. Her checks burned
with shame and anger. She almost re-

of courtesy: Hans never read books; he
couldn't quote a single line of the poems
she loved; he was as rough and crude as
his clothes. There was a dreary yeldt
ahead of her. a long wintry solstice with
out a single beam of hope to cheer and
warm and feed her hungry heart.
But somehow she passed through il;
the missionary suffered through the long
ritual, and Hans took her across the

with a face that told of suffering, heart
aches and hopes gone glimmering. she
again started out over the veldt in an
old covered wagon. With one arm she
pressed a baby to her breast while with
the other she strove to urge the sluggish
oxen into a semblance of speed. Night
and its horrors were creeping up over
the veldt. and she had barely covered
half the distance to her mothers home.
From the tangle of foliage beside the
trek issued, like the low rumble of dis

beasts. She urged the oxen into the
gathering dusk. her lips whispering a
prayer for safety for the child-she
scarcely cared about herself. But the
snarls of the beasts grew more terrifying.
