THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MAILOCH
THE MYsT ERY.

Heard rustic In the brush.
Only yesternlght;
Heard rustic In the hush.
Somethin' out of sight
Jest a football on the ground,
Shakln' of tree;
But we argued all around
What the thing could We.
Jack, the stable-boy, he said
Likely twas colt
Farmers colt thet got Its head.
Broke Its halter holt.
Bill, the cooihouse turnkey. swore
Twas bear er cub
Huntin' round the cookhouse door
Fer a snack of grub.
Pete, who likes to hunt when fall
Comes around each year,
Said II wasn't that at all
Thet II was a deer.
Frank, who drives the two-ox pair,
Said they made him lafr,
Said their colt er deer er bear
Simply was u caff. ~
SO they set an arguhed
What the thing could be;
Ev'ry fellah took eide.
Had theory.
Jack he chlnned II with the chaps,
Bil with all the boys;
Mac, who's deef, he said perhaps
There wasn't any noise.
What the rustic was about,
No one ever knew;
But one fact fggered out
From that gabby crew:
People look with diff'rent eyes,
Hear with difrrent ears;
That what closest to them lies
Ev'rything appears.
Ev'ry nation is the best
To the man from there,
Ev'ry state beats all the rest
When their SONS compare.
Do you wonder at the lot
or religious creeds?-
Each a special Coo mas got
Fer his special needs.
40
Harps an music fer the gay,
y Huntln' fer the red,
Atheists expect to stay
Permanently dead;
Streets Of sapphire fer the Jew;
Fer the weary rest
Each, accordIn' TO his view,
Thinks his heaven best.
An I'm puzzled. admit,
Puzzled at the maze
Heaven, You kin fgger II
Forty-seyen ways:c
Heaven with street of gold;
With jasper gate
Heaven where the very old
, still must sit an wait.
II there are so many there,
There beyond the blue,
Heavens round an heavens squal
Gentle, Injun, Jew
? All thet can do is trust,
Since they can't agree,
When lay me dust 70 dust"
There'll be one fer me.

Il q romance Of sleeping for years
on wealth beyond the dreams of avar-
ice. In 1867 John O'Reilly was on his
way from the interior. and stopped for
the night at the house Of q Boer named
Van Nickerck. He saw the children
playing on the floor with some pretty

O'Reilly said he would take It to
Cape Town, and II It proved Of value
he would give his host half the profits.
On his long journey he stopped at
Colesburg at the hotel. and showed the
men he met his stone, and scratched
glass with 1t. The fellows laughed and
scratched glass with their gun fints,
and threw the bright pebble out Of the
window. But O'Reilly recovered it and
got II to an expert, who announced
that 1t was in truth q diamond Of

O'Railly, like the honest Irishman he
was, fairly divided the $500 he sold
his diamond for with Nickerck when
he went up-country again, and the
Boer remembered that he had seen an
immense stone of the same kind in
the hands of a Kaffir witch doctor. He
found the fetish-man, gave him 500
sheep, number Of horses and nearly
all he possessed for the stone, and sold
1t the next day for $56, 600. This was
the famous Star Of South Africa.

Richard II was responsible for its
present glories. He it was who, in
