glad I am! See, here Is his pocketbook!
Oh, toll mo, you kind woman, who left
this?"
"That?" said the laudlady. "Why
that belonged to one of the poor men
who went out with Dr. Jameson. He
had just come, and I didn't hear his
name. My, but—but—sure, the boy
here is like him."
"With Dr. Jameson?" the lady whis
pered, very white. "We beard on the
train that the raiders were killed and
captured. Was be there—at Krugers
dorp?"
Nobody was heard to speak. The
man at the door slipped quietly In and
examined the papers on the floor unob
served. For a. moment the lady trem
bled, then, taking her little bewildered
son's hand, sba said steadily:
"Mr. Brown, will you order a car
riage and horsus? I will go there at
once."
"My lady, where?"
"To the battlefield."
"It Is late in the day, my lady, and
many miles."
Site bit her lips.
"Please order the horse at once," she
said. "No doubt we can find fresh ones
somewhere if these fail us on the
road."
He looked at her and opened his Hps
to protest, but looked at her again and
obeyed. The good woman of the house
pitied, but had sufficient instinctive
tact not to press the feverishly agi
tated wife to remain. The landlord
bustled about and himself saw to the
guides and horses.
In the meantime the lone traveler
took one glasB of beer and a sandwich
at the bar and, grabbing his valise,
made haste to catch a southbound train
for Ivimberley after consulting for a
moment the timetables which explained
how one should quickest reach Pretoria
in the Transvaal.
"Wrapped In cloaks, the lawyer's clerk
and the tired child slept fitfully through
the night as four horses rattled them
over the wide and lonely veldt. But
the wife was Bleepless, staring with
anxious eyes into the continual shad
ows. Shapeless shadows to the driver
and guide, shadows of no meaning,
they were animate for her—forms and
faces of long ago leaping to fantastic
life, forms and faces even more fan
tastic, of a future doubtful and dread
ed. Once or twice her fatigue over
came her anxiety, and she slept a lit
tle. The last time she woke up with
a cry for help. In her dream she had
seen a tall ladder resting in unseen
depths of blackness, yet whose top was
In sunlight. Her husband was falling,
falling to the ladder's foot, to dreadful
darkness, but she and an old man were
looking down at him from above.
"Oh, dear God!" she sobbed, shudder
ing. "Wherever he is, whatever he has
done, blame not him, but me! I pushed
him down! My God, I pushed him
down!"
His friend Wyvil and be had ridden
side by side, disarmed after the sur
render. Triumphant Boers, from whose
lips at Intervals rose hoarse psalms of
praise, rode on either side and in front
and rear. Some of the ruder Trans
vaallans, the young and hot blooded,
were roused to a high pitch of excite
ment by their victory and taunted their
prisouers, threatening them with retrl
butlou as outlawed raiders. The un
lucky uitlanders rode gloomily on, un
answerlug, in a manner stunned to
speechlessness by so overwhelming, so
unexpected, a catastrophe. That spirit
ed dash, that daring gallop to the Rand,
that revival of medlteval chivalry which
their hot, naught recking brains had
dreamed would be greeted by an em
pire's cheer, had come to this humili
ating defeat half way and an ignomin
ious procession to prison, perhaps to
the gallows. Two or three proud hearts,
ignoraut of their captors' real mind and
abhorrent of such an end, welcoming
any fate but that, made hopeless darts
for the open veldt in a useless effort to
escape. These were shot down—poor,
unlucky exiles from home, who had
vainly sought retrieval of name and
fortune on the rim of the death pit.
Young Wyvil stuck fast to the side of
the man whom first he had met at the
canteen on the border, the man of di
vers names, who had introduced him
self as Lawrence, but had elected to
Join the raiders under another appella
tion. The wallaber, even In that short
space, had made friends, and if he were
reticent of his past that was no uncom
mon thing In ranks wherein few men
Btood save as a last resource. Wyvil,
himself with a past, and Corporal
Donne, now cold upon the veldt, had
attached themselves to one to whom
their old school and varsity traditions
were fraternally familiar. And now,
without the light hearted outcast's sup
port, Lawrence could not have finished
the dismal Journey to Pretoria. Strips
from a torn slilrt bandaged his face
where a Boer bullet had plowed his
cheek and cut away a portion of his
chin. lie had lost blood, but when still
miles away from their destination he
swayed In his saddle more than the
wound seemed to warrant. Wyvil press
ed close to him und thrust his arm un
der the other's.
"Old man," said lie, "Is it bleeding
fresh?"
Lawrence steadied himself resolute
ly and shook his head, but Wyvil, him
self uuscratchcd, looked anxious.
"Look here," he said, "that little Hol
lander medicine man doesn't seem half
bad, you know, but he was In a hurry
when he patched you up. I think we'd
better get this Boer fellow to let us
drop to the rear and have the doc make
another examination. HoneBt,

gasped. "Thank you ull the KUDU*. I'll
manage to Pretoria, but it- hints—it
hurts."
Farther ou he spoke agaiu. with pa!a.
"W.vvll," he said, "if tliey don't shoot
you, you're going liome?"
"And you, too. I hope."

pocketbook somewhere. There was an
address in It—my wife."
"Old chap."
"I want you to see her—her address
Is lost—but I can remember It. I want
you to see her and tell her that 1 died
honorably and—and—my God, how It
hurts!"
Walt until wo are—wherever they
are taking us. What makes you talk
of dyiug from a cut iu the cheek? Hel
lo! Look out! Waeht!"
Lawrence had turned gray, had sway
ed, had fallen into Wyvil's arms as the
latter leaped dowu to catch him. The
guard rode up, ami the procession mov
ed on. passing them. The doctor gal
loped to the prisoner and made a quick
examination. The bandaged wound
was doing well. The trouble was not
there. The doctor opened the coat and
shirt and found a bleeding wound in
the side.
"Ye gods!" cried Wyvil. "Ho never
inentioued this! No wonder he looked
so ghastly. Why, he must have suf
fered like blazes all those miles!"
"Verdamter!" the disgusted doctor
exclaimed. "He must be in a hurry to
die! ills clothes are soaked in blood.
The man was patched up, placed in a
Jolting wagon and so gained the prison
at Pretoria half dead. lie fainted as
he was carried In, and when he came
to himself he suw that he was in a
room crowded with his comrades, some
wounded, some utterly miserable, some
recklessly indifferent. He lay In a cor
ner, and next day the faithful WyvU
was by his side with water.
"Why did you uot tell of that bullet
wound?" his friend asked reproachful
ly. "No wonder you nearly fell from
your saddle. It's a wonder you did not
die In It."
"It's a pity," said Lawrence.
Wyvil looked at him vexedly.
"Look here, Lawrence," he said. "This
Is consummate bosh, you know. I have
no right to Inquire Into your private af
fairs. Most of the men in our ranks
have done something at home, and per-

haps you have. I have. But—oh, hang
it, nothing is bad enough to make a fel
low commit suicide, and that's what
you seem to be up to!"
It isn't suicide It was an honest bul
let"
Poppy talk! Sophistry! You're in a
bad way, but it might have been mend
ed. Now, forget all about that thing
at home, whatever it was. Be a man
get well have another try for the
stakes."
I was innocent of any wrongdoing
at home. It was out here I went to the
devil. Put your hand In my breast. Do
you feel a rubber packet. Cut the
string round my neck. Now open it."
Wyvil opened the thin package and
produced the photograph of a woman
and a little child.
Your wife?" said he. "She is lovely.
Now, look here, old man. You're going
back to her."
I can't," said Lawrence hopelessly,
and his voice was weak. "Let me look.
She was pretty. I'd like to see the boy
once too. You would not think it, Wy
vil, but my father and she between
them pushed me off the ladder—sent
me to the devil in the devil's land. Give
me some water. I feel—I love her yet,
Wyvil."
"Don't try to talk.1
"You will know her. Look on the back
and see if her name is not there. Then
you will know my real name. But
dou't let anybody else."
"It Is too dark here. Let me take It
to the light at the door."
He slipped away, and when ho came
back a stranger in citizen dress who
had been silently moving among the
prisoners was standing over Lawrence,
who, raised on his elbow, was looking
up at him desperately and defiantly.
"You've got me at last," said Law
reuce.
"I think so, and I suppose I have a
claim ou you prior to that of Paul
Kruger," the stranger coolly replied.
"You've changed names pretty often of
late."
"What's up?" cried Wyvil, coming
back. "Excuse me, sir, but my friend
Is badly wounded. Even the exertion
of talking"—
"I think in that case," the stranger
said calmly, "I can get an order to have
him removed to the hospital on the
hill."
"You know him then? Thank you."
"No," cried the wounded raider, with
violence. "You would have mo get
well, you?"
"How? What's the matter?" Wyvil
asked.
"The fact Is that I have a warrant
here for the arrest of your friend, Rob
ert Lawrence, for a murder in Johan
nesburg two weeks ago."
Wyvil recoiled from the hand Law
reuce held out to him uppeallugly.
"It was in fair fight," he whispered
iu despair.
"You will have some difficulty to
prove that," the detective remarked.
"I swear it," said Lawrence, and then
as Wyvil held aloof, pule and agitated,
the sick man with a suddeu wrench
tore the bandages from his side, ami
the wound, rudely opened, bled profuse
ly. In au instant Wyvil forgot what
he had Just heard und leaped to render
aid, but the detective was before him.
"You go and send for the prison doc
tor," said lie, and Wyvil ran. Going to
the door, he was Just in time to meet a
lady and boy who were beiug ushered
lo. The lady's face was fresh in his
memory, older, but the same—the face
of the photograph.
"Lady Nore!" he cried lu astonish
ment as the name ou the picture flash
Ad to mind. The lady clasped her
hands excitedly and swiftly stepped to
him.
3fe A*
"l'ou know me?" she said. "But we
have not met? Then you—you kuow
my husbaud? Oh, take me to him. He
Is here, Isn't he? We have been at
Krugersdorp and he is uot among the
poor killed ones. He must be a pris
oner. Take me at once to him, please."
In his bewilderment Wyvil was al
ready approaching the corner, where
the dexterous detective had already re
bandaged the wound. Ills sight, accus
tomed to the darkness of the prison,
made clear to him what the wife could
not see—Lawrence, his face all swath
ed In cloths, sitting up. staring wiili a
look of ghastly horror In his eyes. Wy
vil stopped, lie and Lady Nore and
the boy were within a yard or two of
the detective and his prey.
There Is some mistake," said WyvU
to the wife, but with his look question
ing!}* on Iawrenee. Lawrence's face
said clearly:
"Do not betray me!1
"I knew you from your photograph,
my lady," Wyvil stammered.
The detective drew buck to the wall.
"My photograph! In Africa? Then
only Sir Robert could have that. He
must have shown It to you. Oh, do
plcaBe take me to him!"
Wyvil was wet with perspiration. He
looked Imploringly at the eyes between
ihe bloody cloths. Aud again these an
swered:
"No do not betray me!"
Lady Nore mistook Wyvil's hesita
tion.
I understand," she said. "You know
my husband, and—and he may have
told you about—about what occurred
long ago. He may not wish to meet
me, and he is right. But that is forgot
ten. He was innocent. It was us—me
—who were to blame. I want to see
him. Oh, tt&e me to him at once to
ask his pardon!"
The wounded man dropped back with
a groan.
Too late, too late!" he moaned in an
extremity of agony.
"What was that? Who said that?"
cried the wife in fear.
The detective stepped forward and
bowed.
I had the honor to meet you at Vry
burg, my lady," he said, speaking to
her, but keeping his gaze on his prison
er's face, "and I also was looking for
a—friend—who was lu the battle. This
is he, but he Is badly wounded and is
perhaps a little off his head."
The raider's hand stole out unseen
and touched the detective's leg. "Thauk
you!" the raider's lips murmured.
"I thought—I am rather worn out—1
knew the voice," said the wife, in tears.
"Oh, sir," she cried again to Wyvil,
"have pity and take me to my hus
band!"
Poor Wyvil was In distress. He
knew not what to do. Again the de
tective felt his trouser touched. He
bent down and caught the agonized
whisper of the prisoner, "Tell her any
thing to send her away she must not
know."
The detective turned with perfect
equanimity to the lady.
"Pardon me, my lady," said he, "but
I heard you mention Sir Robert Just
now—Sir Robert Nore?"
"Yes, yes! Do you know him? He is
here, is he not?"
The detective shook his head.
"You have been misinformed," said
he quietly. "Sir Robert Is—dead."
She threw up her hands, and her lips
opened, but no cry came. The boy
clung to her, weeping.
"I knew him very well," the detective
went on relentlessly. "He went under
the name of Noble—Thomas Noble. He
was killed fighting bravely in the last
Kaffir outbreak In the north of the
Transvaal. You can find his name in
the list of killed here In Pretoria. He
had no friends here, but I think his
grave is marked. There can be no mis
take, I think. This was he."
He proceeded to faithfully describe
the prisoner at his feet
"I am afraid, my dear lady," said he,
that you have been misled by some
resemblance. He cannot be here.
She had the Btrength left to look over
all the prisoners, but found no Sir Rob
ert. So, at last believing the kindly lie,
khe was carried away, swooning.
"Thank you," said the prisoner again
to the undisturbed detective. "Be kind
once more. Do not seud me to the lios
pltal. Let it—end—here."
"I must do my duty," said the de
tective.
Over the grave of an utterly uu
known exile on the sunbrowned veldt
stands a shaft to the memory of Sir
Robert Nore In a disgraced grave lie
the forgotten remains of the outcast of
divers names.
