I leave you with what Must be a pleasant reflection --the know- ledge that you have utterly ruined my existence." "Are you going?' Katherine gasp- ed. "For how iong ?" . "Forever," he answered, briefly, tuning toward the door as he spoke. Just for one moment, Miss Blount felt stunned—crashed—and then, with a bitter cry, she reused herself and tried to reach him, but found she could not—some power within her nutabed her limbs, and loft her without strength to move. Her love, her life, was going, but she could only hold. out her hands to him in passionate, wild entreaty. "Blackwood, Blackwood," eha' im- plored, "do not leave me like this! Say something to me before you go." He turned as he reached the thres- hold, to gaze his last upon the ex- quisite, agonized face he loved so deerly, and the tender arms outheld in pitiful, mute supplication, 1311.1 even then he did not relent. "I will," he said, with vehement bit- terness. "As you, ask it, you can take this as my `goodebye-remember the last words I said to you were these: 'I clime the day I'ever saw you So, with black anger at Ins heart he passed mit from the house that had been his pleasant home from child- hood, a despairing, broken-hearted men, leaving the woman who was to biro. the dearest being on earth in a dead, cold swoon, her soft brown hair sweeping the polished floor. CIIA.PTER, 'V. When Oetober had come and was well nigh gone, Katherine Blount mar- ried Sir Mark Wa.treona,e, arid went for a three -months' wedding tour to Italy.

She clung to Harriet when they first very sad and doubtful, and doubly ten- der that evening to the husband and. children that awaited her. It so happened that two weeks af- ter their return Sir Mark had occa- sion to go to London for a day. Kath- erine not caring to accompany him, he went on his short journey alone, and as he was strolling leisurely down Regent street to execute some trifling commission for his wife, whom should Xis meet, face to face, but Blackwood Craven, looking changed and careworn beyond description. The two mea met with an expression of cordiality that on one side was by no means genuine, although Sir Mark, who was naturally of a most kindly, open-hearted disposition, was unfeign- edly glad to meet his old acquaintance again. ''Why, Craven," he exclaimed heart- ily, who would have dreamed of see- ing you here? I heard from Blount that you were stationed eoutewhere in the South." "I got a few weeks' leave," Black- wood returned listlessly, "and, having nothing better to do, thought I would knock about London a, bit and see some of my old friends," "I'll tell you what to do," said Sir Mark. "Come down with me to the Halt, and will promise you as good shooting as ever you had; you can- not do better. And my wife will be delighted to see you; you and she were always so intimate, you know." "His wife?" Blackwood's face .palecl Xis the old raanner, and he winced al- most perceptibly. "His wife!"

In the Trans- vaal whole towns would be nearly de- serted. Rracticaaly the nearest Pla,ce of re- fuge would, be Durbain 453 miles away, from Pretoria, while Cape Town 1,014 ratios away. The railway fare to the capital of Cape Colony is §43 for a single roan, and the British Tilt - lender working roan with a wife and family would find the cost of remov- al come very high, particularly if as is probable, he had to sacrifice his household goods, and had no pros- pects of immediate employment on ar- rival in British territory, During the last Boer way, in 1881, many English- men remained in the country, Now, however, feeling is embittered, and only those would stay who absolute- ly; could not get away. NO DESIRE FOR WA.R. To a large section of the. tlitland- ers, therefore, war would spell imme- diate disaster. According to the auth- ority already cited, the Boers, also are seriously afraid of war. A new gener- ation has axisen. which has learned that the four hundred men defeated at Majuba Hill were not ;the whole British arnay. "They have," says the Telegraph's correspondent, a just and not dishonourable apprehension of wax. .with England. I must not dis- guise, however, the truth that they have pretty generally a proud belief. in their bavincibilty. The Boers have been wonderfully fortunate in their military history. Their enemies, the Zulus and the British have done ex- ectly what they would have wished.

In a recent let- ter to the Standard and Diggers' News, "Old Piety," as he is affectionately called by the burghers, said :—" Let us not glorify weapons. . . . the horrible natirder wea.pons, the undesir- able inventioneof sinful people. My ene- mies, whoever they are, boast of their might and murderous weapons. I re- gret to have to be prepared." TAKE CAPE TOWN AND ENGLAND. Prepared he undoubtedly will be, though not to the extent of a plan Lore- or campaign such as was imagined by Pulsed by a handful of the a burgher whose warlike appetite, had trekkers. He there learned bow easy got the better of his discernment. The it was for men anctestomed to the, etor y is told by Mr. Fuller, a well n-ifle to mow down the naked ZuluS. weeping, in known South Africa.n. ,The burgher kb Weenen, , English, in question said to him that in case of Natal, a little later, five hundred war, the Boers would capture Cape Town and then take England. "But," said Mr. Fuller, "it is along way to England by sea, and you have no ships." "'What of that ? Cannot the Lord make a passage for us as Ile did for the Israelites across the Red Sea ?" " Of course, of course. I hope it wir a wide one or else you •might get a broadside from the British fleet." • Boers achieved their crowning victory over Dingaan's forces by acting en the same way, Purely on the deeensiere, " The English have been equally ac- commodating. So far as 1 can ,learn, the Boers have never faced over a thousand of the • rooineks,' a.s they call the British. When Sir Harry Smith beat them at Boompla.ats, 1848, bare- ly four hundred were engaged. Sir George Colley had sev,reely one thou- sand when he was driven back in the attempt to force Laing's Neck, still fewer at Ingogo, and less than five hundred in the miserable fiasco of Majuba. To good marksraen, strongly posted as they were, these were easy victories. Against the Zulus, they laagered, against the British they got behind shelter."' FIFTEEN THOUSAND MEN. An Englishm.a.n who has been in the country a good many years says :—"I estimate that the Transvaal, without any asesistance from the Free State, can now plaee fifteen thousand well armed men in the field. They may not be such dead shotssis their fathers were, but, in the event of war, if we Pursue the same tactics as of old, a large proportion of them will kill or wound their Man. I have no doubt of the issue, but /t might cost us more than a Waterloo. The Boers, would, of course; follow their old style—never fight in the open, and always on the defensive. They will shovv nothing if they' can help it but the muzzle of the rifle, and the chance of hitting them is abou,b equal to that ot hitting a half crown piece tveo hundred yards off. And, of course, we shall commit the usual folly, of presenting our men in comparatively close order and attempt- ing to rush these positions." In reply to the question what ought to be done, this Englishman Said: " Why, take all possible shelter; en- gage them in the front and attack on the flank. The 13oeire will never wait to be surroilnded ciutflanked," Laing's Neck, Ingogo, and Majuba Hill, however, are names that awaken su,ch, sad menaories in the Englishman's mind that General Sir Frederick Wil- liam Forester -Walker, who has lately been appointed to the chief coramand in South Africa, in place of General Sir William' Butler, is not likely to run any risk of a repetition. He has had coneiderable experience in South African warfare, and may be trusted to be better prepared for the business Xis Mae' have to take in hand than was Dr, Jameson. At the outset of his famous raid he boasted that "his five hieridted troopers and Maxims would kick ten thousand burghers round the Trenevaal." NO FEAR OE 11.A.111/1S, However Dr " Jim "" being entirely ignorant of Boer taotics and of their fear of any flanking movement, March- ed at Krugersdorp straight at the rifles pointed at his men. After sev- eral hours' firing from the IVIaxinas only two or three of the sheltered Boers were killed, and their comrades were heard to say after this, their first experience of the new dest,ructiVe weapon, " De Maxim is rtiets waarde," the Maxim is no good.

DANGERS OF HYPNOTISTIn a review of the medico -legal as- pects of hypnotism, the question has been raised whether ehe hypnotized can be injured physically or raentally by hypnotization, and whether they are thus predisposed to fall victims to crime. Dr. Sydney Kull finds that hYPnotisna is a pathological and not it physiological condition; that its use w,hon resorted to too frequ.e.ntly, is liable to bring on mental deteriora- tion. Dr. Kula cautions medical men, and especially the public, to be ex-- tremely (cautious in placing persons under hypnotic influence, which may be the cau,se of ebronie headache, or of an outbreak of hysteria. At times it has' a most serious effect upon pre- existing mental disease ; and it has been known to even produce an attack of insanity. In skilled hands, and wisely exhibited, hypnotism may 'be of wide benefit ; otherwise it is ',beset with deplorable da,n,gers. PAINTS AND DISEASE.
