Looking at the professor, the child asked: "Is it thou who hast -written those fine fairy tales?" "Yes, my dear," replied the professor; "my brother and myself have written the tales." "Then t)?ou hast "also written the tale of the little tailor?the one where it says at the end that whoever will not believe the tale mustpay a dollar?" "Yes, I have written that, too." "Weil, then, I do not believe the tale," said the little one, "and so, I suppose, I have to pay a dollar; but I have not so much money now and can only give you part on account.

He succeeded in crossing the Tugela River with hardly any opposition on the part of the Boers. General Buller's forces then advanced, and all reports showed that the armies of the republics made a fierce and determined defense of their entrenched positions. On Sunday the War Office received the following dispatch from General Buller: "Spearman's Camp.?General Warren has jeen engaged all day, chiefly on his left, which he has swung forward about a couple of miles. "The ground Is very difficult, nnd, as the fighting is all the time up bill, it is difficult to ?ay exactly how much we have gained, but I think we are makiDg subafnnMnl nrrtorPftQ."

The British stood to the guns, where they had slept, and the engagement was resumed vigorously. The ield artillery poured shrapnel into the ueray s trencues. "A rumor that Ladysmith has been relieved enlivened the British, who 9ent up a ringing cheer. This was taken for an advance. The first kopje was carried at the point of the bayonet, and the Boers retreated to the next kopje, which, like most other?, was strewn with Immense boulders, jurmounted by mounds on the summit. "The British advanced steadily, and the Boers relaxed slightly. The latter did uot jhow such tenacity as previously. Their N'ordeufeldts fired at long intervals, and .heir cannon fired but seldom. Apparenty the Boers were short of big ammunition. ' All day the roar of musketry continued. The British took three Boer positions 011 ;he mountain and found shelter behind the ooulders." A dispatch to the Chronicle from Spearman's Camp, dated late Monday, says: 'General Warren continues pushing the jnemy, though necessarily he is making very slow progress, the Boers belug numerous and strongly Intrenched on the kopjes they hold. They have several good guns mounted, but the greatest effect Is produced by their Maxims and rifle3. "Our infantry is working over parallel ridges with Lord Dundonald's cavalry lying well out on the left flank awaiting developments. General Warren's artillery reopened lire Monday morning. The Boers did uot reply and our fire became less hot. The naval guns here have been juiet. ' A Boer prisoner here has boasted that It would take us three months to reach Ladysmith." The censorship is very strict, but the latest tolasrrams allowed to come through confirmed the reports that the progress of the British was very slow and difficult. The telegrams, however, left too raueh unsaid to enable a realization of the precise disposition of the British forces. Meantime, the very moderate total of the British casualties aud the small proportion of deaths showed a very different handling of the troops compared with many of the previous engagements. It also furnished proof of tlie correspondents' statements concerning the growing skill of the British soldiers of availing themselves of cover like the Boers. An incident of Sunday's fighting was an attempt of the Boers to turn the extreme British left. The manoeuvre was defeated, however, by the artillery and the Devonshire Regiment. The Times's correspondent concurred tflth some otliers in saying that the Boers ised the gun;i captured at Colenso in opposing the British advance.
