VELDT, MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
| Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
~ Doomed to Live in Plain Of i
British South Africa.

Before the B0er war there was q
saying current among the Beers of
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the veldt. This was a saying
no less true then than now, for the
yeldt is place of great silence and
loneliness and it leaves its mark on
those who dwell in it.
The veldt is the great plain Of what
Is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjes, pierced and gashed by
>Ea1n'washed gullies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hOri-
zon. The word "veldH is closely al
lied to the German word for world"
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere cOinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst Of this plain it seems, to extend
In every direction to the outermost
limits Of space. :.
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
eered with gray grass, plods wear
my through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in Il dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
Is like another. After a few DAYS of
this the traveller wonders if his prog
ress Is. not a mere illusion, if he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the ~monotony is
broken by some veldt farm, place Of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till 1t. There will be farmhouse, a
barn, kraal, well and few huts
for the kaffirs. To the railroad may
be distance Of anywhere from 20 to
70 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
a veldt farm is severe test of the
inner resources Of man or woman.
