Exeter Times, 1906-08-09, Page 2r • Three fortunes gained in South Afri• ea attracted the attention of the world. The possessor of one, Barnet°, died in • mental state not far removed from in- sanity, and it it idle to conjecture what use he would have made of his wealth 11 he had lived to hold it and to provide for its future use. The two other con- spicuous South African millionaires, Rhodes and Bell, have lett evidence that they were sincerely interested in the future of Africa and not merely in the wealth to be found in gold and diamond fields. Rhodes left an im- uterl.,o sum fur education and to pro- mote his desire for a better understand- ing between the English-speaking na- tions. Alfred Belt also left large sums for education, but ono provision of his will is unique. , Himself a business man, he appre- ciated the difficulties of financing enter- prises for the development of a new country unless large immediate returns could be promised. 11 has been at dif- ferent tines an easy matter for pro- moters to sell shores In South African gold mines by offering alluring hopes of hundredfold increase within a few months. 11 has been harder to secure the money for legitimate business en- terprises offering a fair percentage of profit. The will of Alfred Benit pro- vided aid for those enterprises which he considers essential to the progress of Africa. Six million dollars are to con- stitute a fund to aid the construction of railway, telephone, and telegraph lines and wires and wireless telegrap sta- tions In South Africa. It makes no difference whether the lines aro in Bri- tish, German or Portuguese possessions. 11 would appear from the wording of the despatches that this money is not to be given outright, but invested in re- sponsible companies proposing to sup- ply the needed means of communica- tion between the different parts of South Africa. 1f that is the case, and the trustees •use proper discretion in handling tho funds, the capital soon will be increased by the returns from the Investment, and every year a larger sum will be available for this purpose. But, as lasting results are more de - aired than immediate profits, as there is no other use for the profits than re- investment, 1t will bo possible for the trustees to use the money for the ad- vantage of the people in ways that will be unproductive financially for a long time. The wisdom of such a bequest Ls so apparent that it seems strange that no public-spirited millionaire bit upon the Mea before. It is a remarkable proof of the fascination South Africa exercises upon the minds of men who have occa- sion to know that land Intimately that men as different as Rhodes and Bell should have been unwilling to look for- ward to the days when their own work would bo over without marking in a practical way their faith in the future of South Africa and their affection for their foster mother.

Ile gave her a little light laugh, as uis eyes met her questioning glance, and that laugh jarred upon her ears strangely. "I think the best way to do is to break into the matter In hand without pre- amble, Corine," he said, attempting to apeak carelessly; "and I may as well say, first as last, that from the moment we parted at the railway station 1 have been thinking this marriage of ours over, and 1 have come to the conchs sion that we took a very rash step; and am— regretting it." The girl uttered a cry, her arms fell away from him; she was looking at Min with dilated eyes, as though she had not been quite sure that she heard aright. Ile saw the sudden fear In her face and In her eyes, and hastened to add: "I am very sorry, Corine, but it Is quite true; 1 am sorry that 1 encour- aged you to leave the old doctor's root, for we cannot marry each other just at present." "You are trying to tease me—to lest my love for you, Gilbert," she faltered, with face white as death, and that hor- rible fear still shining in her eyes. "Indeed, I am not, Corine," he re- plied, his eyes drooping before her strained gaze. "It is quite true; I have Leen thinking our rash act over, and —well—you must go back at once; there has been no harm done—and--" A bitter cry interrupted hien; in an instant she had flung herself at his feet, crying out that she could not go hack—she would note—she would die first. Ills dark, handsome face flushed, and the expression of annoynuce grew Mill deeper in the eyes that he -turned away from her. Ile was wishing the scene well over. "1 want you to listen to reason, Co - rine," he said. "1 have seen the folly of our action just in time. You should be glad, as i am, that there is yet time to repair the mischief." Still she looked at him with that pile- ous terror in her eyes—which was more annoying than a torrent of passionate reproaches to him—yet no word passed her lips; she was like one stricken dumb by some fearful stroke of lightning— blasted and withered to the very heart's core. He met her glance coolly; it was not the first time that a broken heart had looked at him from girlish eyes, and for a like cause, and he had laughed and ridden away, just as ho intended to do in this case. "Do you love me no longer?" she asked, at length, in a whisper that would have touched a heart of stone. Ile was glad enough for this sugges- tion, and a plausible•reason upon which to hinge his actions. "You force me to tell you a most disagreeable truth, Corine;" he mutter- ed. "Looking into my own heart, I sec that what is there is fancy—not leve." "And all the time you were whisper- ing to me of love you were then utter- ing the cruelest of falsehoods." she sobbed, wildly; "you were cruelly Ie- ceiving me." "1 do not like to hear you cull it by such a hard name, Corine," he said, shifting uneasily on the log by her side. "But it is the truth. is it not?" '-he persisted. "It must be, if you insist upon believ- ing it so," he answered, doggedly. She shrank from him, while and trem- bling—all her fear, fresh young beauty seemed to fall from her at the words. "Cone, lel us be friends, and talk this matter over sensibly, my little Corine,' Ise said, caressingly. Ile was startled by the bitterness of the laugh That fell from her lips --ill her childishness seemed to have fallen from tier. "I did not suppose that you would til:o It in this fashion," he declared, wonder- ing how touch longer this most uncom- fortable Scene was to Iast, for he could not endure much more. "1 wish that you would listen In rea- son, Corine," he said. "1 wish that you could see that there has been no harm done." She interrupted him with the gesture of n young queen. "No harm done!" site echoed. "Do you think it was. no harm to lure me from my home and friends with false pret;uses and honeyed words of love, and then—when there 18 no returning —you tell me that there can to no marriage!" "If you will lake the train back to Ashton you can arrive there before noon; tell them that you have been out for nn early niornitlg ratable; there is no one there to gainsay your words." "Y0u would have mo add falsehood end Treachery to wrongdoing." she cried. covering her face with her hands and weeping so pnssinnately Dint he feared very much That he would have a case of hysterics on his hinds. "No one con mention wrongdoing and you in the some breath." he declare I. "'Tell me the truth once again. that 1 may understand It perfectly—that 1 have no false delusions about It. You do not love toe?" she queried, in a dry. hard voice that he could hardly renlize was the voice that had nlwnys been the sweetest of music for him, and tenderer than the ringdrrve's coo. "1 do not love you as 1 lind imagined 11e winced under her words, turning impatiently away as he slowly bowed assent. "There is no need for us 10 prolong this interview, Corine" he sold. 'Take my advice and go back to your friends. You will soon get over this little romantic episode, and then, no doubt, you will marry John Rockledge and settle down to a quiet life with that bookworm of a lawyer and live in peace forever afterward, as the stories phrase ll." in that moment the girl's blind;d eyes were opened to the difference 'n the two men who had wooed her, and she knew that she had thrown away the true gold for the baser metal, and her heart gave a great throb of pain. "1 do not suppose you have provided yourself with any money, Corine," ne said, taking a bill from his vest pocket and pressing it into her hand. "Take this and board the train which will soon pass through here for Ashton—by cut- ting across lots, 1 am told, you can reach the station. I did not know of this when we came into totem. I will accompany you thither if you will per- mit me to, and see you safely aboard;' "Got" cried the girl; "leave my pres- ence -1t matters little enough to you what becomes of me," and she flung the bill ho had proffered her at his feel as though its very touch was contamina- tion. "\Vill you not say good-bye, Corine?" ht. said, uneasily. For answer she turned from him, and walked swiftly down the road, and was soon lost to sight among the green trees and flowering shrubs.

Some weeks ago, about 5,000 Jewish immigrants from (tussle and the Bal- kan States landed at Jaffa.
