the ridges of some low«lying kopje-. W: passed througa some fields ot cora with melons growing below, as is I managed to get a fairly

usaal here ’ 7901 melon,

although the best of every- thing bad been taken by the mounted men aod the Boers who bad already passed over the vame place. We

marched onto the top ofa small hill strewn with chrapnel and shell from the previous day'’- fizht and atthe top found a pond of water and a ruined house with a white flag on it said to be full of wouad- ed Boers. The surface was rough and rocky for the next two or three miles, and thenwe had ashort rest near another house wit: wounded Boers, which also had a white flag. Wecould see the women nurses moving in and out but we were noi very close to them.

We continued marching on in the heat which had become intense, upand down hill. Itseemed all up. The surface, of the ground had now changed, being most - ly covered over with small bunches of grasseach of which had a little earth areund it, as you often fiod it in our swamps at home. This proved very try- ing on Oar menas they only could get good footing by etepping high aud look. ing Out for the low places between— not al- ways practicable. The solesof the boots became very smooth and slippery which added tothe fatigue. Men began to fall out in great numbers being unable to keep up. The Canadians were 10 worse than the other regiments of the brigade in thie respect. Personally I huog it out tiil we arrived at our camping place—fif- teen milee—not solong as some of our previous :marcbes but generally con- ceded to be one of the most trying.

We encamped ina kind of cove in the kopjes, a low ridge making a semicircle partiy around us. The water was not up to the Charlottetown article, being muddy, which we don’t mind as it is nearly (always so here and nas rather a sweet, ) pleasant taste, but in this case it contain- ed multitudes of small equirming ani- mals ; however, down it goes and wel- come. When we were settled off we had to go and get wood for the cooks, and soon had a lot of little bushes gathered, smaller than the blueberry busb, the only fuel available,and our cooks quickly made us a welccme half-ration of tea. In the meantime they had put on a baif ratioa of meat to make us some soup, so by 6.30 we had that too.

We slept comfortably till 3.30 next moraing, and before sunrise had again begun a day’s march. We tramped on tilt 3 or 4in the afternoon, over a fairly good country. Every now and thena herd of frightened springbok would gallop wildly across our front, or a rabbit would scurry past often pursued by a dog belonging to the Gordons. Very frequent- ly the mea would capture one of these and you may he sure they made a welcome side dish.

The march was also enlivened oeca- sionally by music from the Gordons’ bag - pipes. The Highland brigade was not very far from us, and we of.eao heard their bagpipes also. Among the meno there were many instances of pluek in the manner in which they held out. The boote of great many were a'most gone. Io some instances they were actually zone; as for instance the case of Hatfield, of St Joha—a cousin of Mies Hatfield who visited her aunt, Mrs. Koight, at Souris, three years ago. He marched in his stocking feet for several days and did not fall oui at all. His feet were io a terrible condition.

After we were finally encamped and I bad rested a little I took a stroll sround the place. About 20 miles from the last stopping camp was a point of concentra- tion of the three columns, and I tell you what, it was quiteexciting. There is a fine large pond, and the General, Lord Roberia and staff, occupied a house on a small eminence from the top of which a row of signal men were heliographing messages in various directions, First | met come men of the Dorset Regi- ment who wear their badge on the back ef the helmet. Upoa my inquiring the reason they told me tbey bad worn it there since 1801 when they fought back to back at Alexandria against Napoleon Bona- parte. I aleo saw the Ceylon and Bombay Horse contingente frem those places, and the Basuto Native Scouts, aleo many Hin- decs from one of whom 1 _pur- chased a rupee—the indian coin. Later I came across a Victwwria (Aus- tralia) trooper aud we hada very pleasant chat. we fried them on a canteenftop and enjoyed

ing I found a hotel and

toner, The table was set ont napkins and otber accessories. I en- close the bill of fare. While at

the hotel an ex cfficer of the Boers and a corporal and two men of the Manchesters came in wrangling about a Mauser car- bine. One of the men took the rifie from the Boer aud then the corporal told the soldiers to fall in and take the officer a prisoner for having arms in bis possession. This at once quieted the Boer,and he left the rifle with the corporal. I looked about the town and wondered at seeing 80 many shop signe in English, and at hearing the Boers speaking in Euglish so generally. While strolling along a man seeing my badge suddenly said, ** Wuy, there’s a maple leaf; he must be a Cana- dian,” and sure enougbI was, and a Mr. Peterson, of the railway offices, came up. He at once invited meto goto his house, which I did and there iad another meal of dessicated chicken, etc. He had prac tically been a prisoner while the « ar lasted. I send you one of his Boer passes. At the railway office I met a loyal Scotch

ecgineer who was in great spirits altogether. Nearly all the shops are clean

sold out of eatables. I saw the Parlia- ment House and many of the public build- ings, and finally I heard a church bell. Finding it was an English chureh I went in. It was a fine large building, beauti- fully finished inside, with a eplendid chancel. The service wes partiy new to me. I suppose in a foreign country there are modifications. The sermor was good, acd Litany 466 was sung as at home to the tune we use, and in the same manuer.

The Orauge Free State is said to have surrendered and Builer is said to be through Laing’s Nek, so perhaps we may soon be home again.

The wife, finding her besband’s knife by the mur- dered man’s side, and seeking to shield her husband, she herself, when secused of the crime apparently makes an ackno.wledgement of being guilty. It is not until the last act that «he discovers who the real murderer was by the liberal application of ehbhrend logic to the case, and of course everything ends happily, Inter- spersed throughout the many exciting ecenes of the play is the great deal of love- making between Horace Greengage Dob- bins, a country boy, and Grace Douglas, the daughter of the murdered banker. Dobbins does considerable detective work, and the clever sung, called “Everything is lovely on the Bowery” generally arouses the audience to « pitch of enthusiasm.
