standing before her, her beautiful, reale

"It seems o terrible thing to meet

Never while I live Atoll I forget the

She trembled so violently .that it was

The beautiful face and restless eyee
tunred to the window again.
"Am I dreaming, or what? Lord

most part members of various par-
ticularly hard -fighting commandos;
when the war closed they felt very
bitterly, and wished to avoid living
under the British flag. Some maned
West and some East; those I tnet were
among the many hundreds, , indeed
thousands, who travelled northward—'
a few overland, most of them by water
to German East Africa. But in tile
part in whioh they happened to settle
they were decimated by fever, and
their stock perished of cattle sickness;
and naost of them hitd again moved
