TORIES are be. ginniig to come from South Africa about that field of dread memory -M ag er s f o n tein. From dawn -w h e n t h e belching h i ll - 7e front of fire had mowed in swathes the ranks of the Black Watch-till dusk-when the last gun' had sent its whistling shrap nel-the air had seemed to live and sereech and scream, and to maim, blast and wither the men of the High land Brigade. The dark African night had flung its blackness over Magersfontein, and in the scanty scrub and stony hollows remained those who could not well Mire when the bugles, with reluctant notes, sounded the retreat. Piper Duncan Farquharson sat up atid groaned4 His last experience of life hadbeeii rather mixed. He re membered retiring behind a wire fence, and after he had scrambled o'jei the vefdt a few dozen yards s6mething happened. What this was Duncan was uncertain, but as he felt his head he knew he had been hit. 1(e sat up and considered. Where was his company? Where was the captain, and his lieutenant-the young laira, vho bore the same name as he bore? He would go to them. So he went. *' There were groans and sobs from the darkness, and sometimes a wild yell tdre the night asunder. There were calls' for water in all the dialects spoken north of the Tweed and in many forhis of southern Anglo-Saxon. A Duncan crawled through them. At fast lib came to the barbed wire en tanglements. As he crawled through these the barbs tore his kilt and hose, ~d he felt them enter his flesh; but it last he threw himself clear. Then he rolled down a short way, and A-telder brought him, up. He fut outis hand to protect his 'face, d caught another hand, cold and immny, ig his own.

Dunncan pillaged from an officer a silver flask which its owner would never more require. -With other melancholy loct Duncan crawled slowly back to the laird, and, feeling for hjs face, he poured water between his lips. He drank the liquid, and, as it brought back life into his trembling frame, he said: S"Man, laird, I houp that officer chiel was a good-levin' man. He de serves to gang to a place there's nae sich a drought as there's here." -"You were always plucky, Dun can," said the lieutenant, "but I'm going." His voice was now at a whisper. "Na, na, ye'll tak' arither drappie!" said the piper. And again he poured a few drops between the laird's lips. "Duncan, could you play a march before I. go?" "ITll try; but ma heid's awful'queer. Hiv ye my pipes?" "Yes; I kept them in my lefthand." Piper Farquharson tuned his pipes. "Now, the 'Haughs o' Cromdale,' Duncan. I'm going!" whispered the laird. "Na, na, yer nae gaun, laird! Il play ye a reel." And over the deso lation floated the springing crispnes of the "Perth Hunt." II From the darkness the sentries on the heights and in the trenches fired off their rifles, and their sleepy com rades stood to their arms. These pet ticoat rooineks were to make a night attack. Suddlenly the music stopped. "Dae ye mind that? It was danced at your coming o' age." "Yes, I remember, Duncan. But play the march, and sit down here be sides me; I'm cold. It will soon b-e snow, Duncan." Duncan, whose head was throbbing with the effort made in pla ng the reel1 crawled down beside his lnird. "Ay; I think it will be snow afore mornin'," he said. Then Piper Farquharson played marches and strathspeys, and in the: cold and darkness death came to many o' his audience. But as they fell asleep, and their thirst was sated, and their pain eased, their lullaby was to them the sweetest they had heard since childhood. Duncan could play no more. It was indeed only fitfully he had played at all. And the laird was passing. "Good-by, old man, and thanks!" sighed the laird. "If you go home tell them I sent my love. I wrote them all yesterday. Good-" There was a slight tinkle and the laird fell sideways. He had gone with his comrades. The dawn would come soon. Al ready the summits of the Eastern hills were beginning to appear thro--qh the grayness. Day was coming and the night, and those who had gone under its blackness were now to be num bered with that which had been. Duncan, ho 3ver, was only con cerned about one thing. The laird was gone. He had asked him for a march; he should have one. Duncan rose, propped himself against the bowlder, and stood over the body of his lieutenant. Then over the veldt the low, wail ing strains of "Lochaber No More" rose and swelled in the dawn, like the voice of a mother mourning with a sore, articulate grief the loss of her children. The Boer sentinel in the advanced trench saw, as the dawn came, a rooi nek etanding facing him. He was 4 petticoat and might have thousand behind him. The sentry brought hil rifle to the "Present!" It was an eaSy shot-a tall man, with no khaki tuuit to deceive the marksmen. Then the Mauser barked. In this wise Piper Duncan quharson, !of the Highland Briga i rejoined his laird.-Answers. NOT WHOLLY FREE FROM GUILE. A Traveler Corrects a False Impression as to the Central American Indians. "It is a common impression that the Central American Indian is singa larly honest and free from gfile," said a traveler who came up on the last banana b.oat, "but don't you be lieve a word of that story. I recently made a mule-baek trip to the Qlancha district, in northwest Hondnuas, my particular purpose being to 'take a look at the famous old placer diggingi on the Guayape River. I spent I week or so in the region, and was especially interested in the native In. dians who live along the banks of the stream and who regard the placers as a sort of family pocketbow, froni which they help themselves as they please. When a household needl anything that can't be hunted or fished-in other words, that has to be bought at the store-the women sally out with their 'bateas'or wobden bowls and proceed to wish as much gold as is required for the purchase. The metal they secure in that way is usually in the form of minute grains, hardly as large as the head of a pin, but occasionally they find little nug gets, and that brings me to my story. "The day before I left I was at the principal store of the district talking to the proprietor, or 'tiefiA'eros,' when a typical Olancha Indian shambled in and sat down on the floor. I at tempted to question him about the diggings, and presently he untied a corner of his neckelq ~ d show me three small, fan ly a nuggets which he sai lately found.

In that way he produced his handsome nuggets. If he had put in the same amount of labor at the placers he could easily have washed out $20 worth of gold.

Hitch cock describes the geology of Oahu, which is the main island of our newly. acquired Hawaiian Islands. The town of Honolulu is situated on the island. Geologically the island is al most wholly composed of basalt, with a narrow fringe of limestone. The following is a condensed summary of the geological events in the history oi the island of Oahu: Igneous erup tions commenced under water in post tertiary time and accumulated until a smooth island dome arose above the surface of the water. This dome was soon channeled by rain, precipitated from the warm trade winds, and grad. ally vegetation derived from distant regions covered the surface. As soon as coralline and mofluscan fauna migrated thither limestone began to be formed. The subterranean fires were by no means dead, but con tinued to pour forth at uncertain in tervals lava and ashes. A sinking of the land then took place, allowing the accumulation of a marine deposit, which was subsequently raised, prob ably by an earthquake. Th~e Accident lHe Meant. "I understand," remarked the re porter to the manager of a railway noted for the unpunctuality of its trains, "that there was an accident on your railway last night." "Oh, do you?" was the sarcastic re Ply. "Yes, sir." "1)o you know anything about it?' "~Only that it happened to the train which was due here at 8.15." "That train came in to the minute, sir." said the manager, firmly. "A re you sure of that?" "Of course, I am." "Thanks. That must have been the accjdent referred to," and the re orter ddgd out. -Tid-Bits. .TESTi*-6TU*1ER 5Y PHOTOGRAPHY Shows the Difterence Between the Rea and the Bogus at Once. Oleomargarine and renovated but, ter have seen their halcyon days, if the silent efforts now being made in the basement of the State Capitol prove effective. State Chemist J. A. Hummel is engaged on varieties of yellow stuff, alleged butter, which the inspectors are sending him from every portton of the State. The chemist has hit upon a new scheme which he thinks will surely bring the butterine dodgers to time. By a combination of nickel prisms, microscopes and a lenseless camers with a sensitive plate, Mr. Hummel has developed a plan which must show the difference between butters and pseudo butters to every amateur eye at a moment's glance. Thus, it is hoped, the photographs will carry weight with a jury where chemical formulm failed. When asked to ex plain the process of examination by photographic methods, Mr. Hummel said: "The simple fact to be considered is that pure butter as made in the dairies or at the creamery contains only amorphous fat. Any heating process snch as is followed in renova tion and running in of milk imme diatelv generates fat crystals. In the oleomargarine, the crystals from the meat fats added to cottonseed oil are very thick. "Now all w need to do is to place a sample of suspected butter iaaglass slide and then under the microscope. We put one prism above and one be low in such a way that the light rays cannot pass through, according to a law of physics. Now, we push the tube of a camera directly over the head of the microscope, and insert a plate at the other end. No direct light, you see, can pass through, that is, as long as these two prisms are properly placed. But according to the laws of light, as soon as we get a third prism, such as a crystal which you know is of prismatic shape, the light again finds its way through. Consequently, if the butter is free from crystals no direct rays, and only a dull translucent light will pass through, while otherwise bright and dark spo ts will come together and form the peculiar shaded picture you see in the oleomargarine sample.
