ACROSS THE KARROO.
We had already journeyed seven dajs
from Capetown, ping through the
Drettr villages of Ponrl nnd Caree. with
the vineyards and maize fields, nita had
nowl - eached the edgeof the desert known
as tho Karroo. The sito Is marked on
the map of South Africa its beginning
twyond the rutigo of tho great Zwnrte
(Black mountains),
The entranco to tho Karroo is through
a Btnall gorge about a quarter of a milo
long and twenty yards wldo, with abrupt
walls of stono on either side, which seems
to Indicate that at somo former period a
stream of water had passed out through
this gorge from a lake whose bed is now
an arid desert. Tho distance across the
desert to tho point wo wished to reach
was 100 miles, which wo wished to ac
complish In three days. It was neces
sary to uo careful ol our Horses, Know
ing thero was no water on the journoy
for them. Wo hoped to do forty miles
the first day, and thirty miles each day
of the two following. We entered the
Karroo Poort (Karroo date) at sunrise,
and set out on our hazardous journey.
I should state that wo had stopped over
night at a last farmhouse near the Poort,
to elvo our horses rest and a good feed,
and to supply ourselves with forage for
them nnd water for ourselves, tilling
every available vcbsoI with the precious
fluid. Our conveyance was a light
though strongly built capo cart, on oc
casion covered with a canvas hood to
protect us from tho sun's rays, and there
were four of us. No one can set out
upon a desert journey without mingled
emotloiiB of hopo and fear, thero are so
many contingencies lying along those
weary roads, and roads rendered more
desolate by the bleaching bones of dead
animals for often the willing boosts,
the horses and oxen, fall with fatigue,
and see with dying gaze the keen oyed
vultures swooping from afar.
As we entered the desert It spread be
fore us on every side like a boundless
brown sea, silent, solitary and vast. As
tho sun rose into tho sky tho warmth bo-
came intense, and when by midday wo
halted we could see tho heat rising from
the scorched plains in the wavy columns

the horses were being unharnessed and
fed Meadows and I prepared our midday
meal. In three hours we broko up camp,
and went on again until tho day was
nearly done a day that had passed fairly
well.
Thero was neither tree nor mountain
in sight; nothing to break tho level mo
notony that stretched as far as the eyo
oould see. Wo encamped for the night
In the midst of this swelling loneliness,
and then pnhaps for the first time began
to feel Its power. We spent the last hour
before sundown in cutting and gathering
a quantity of brushwood (Karroo shrub,
the only thing that grows upon these
plains) to feed a necessary flro to protect
us from the wolves and jackals whicl
scour the desert in packB.
After Bupper wo put away our tin
dishes, replenished our big fire, wrapped
ourselves in our rugs, nnd lay down with
our weapons by our sides aud our feot to
the flro.
Adolph and Wilhelrn Morltz, happy
Dutchmen, were Boon asleep; Meadows
and I lay chatting for somo time, then
relapsed into quietness, the deep and
strange silence that surrounded us bro
ken only by the stir of tho horses tied to
the wagonpole. The singular sensation
of lying In this noiseless desert drove
Bleep from my eyes, and I lay nwako a
long time after George Meadows had
fallen asleep. Suddenly thero came into
the dead silence a long, sharp, piercing
cry, answered by another in tho opposito
direction, equally distant; theso were
the cries of jackals.
Then came the bark of a wolf, answered
by a chorus, and Meadows suddenly rose
into a sitting position. "Tho brutes are
comlngl" ho exclaimed. Instantly a hun
dred throats seemed to be baying into
tho darkness, drawing nearer and nearer,
until we could see, surrounding us liko a
circle of lire, the scintillation of red eyes.
The scene was now become ono of start
ling reality all about us tho dense darb
ness, lighted only, and in a manner made
moro perceptible, by tho rays of the
glowing brushwood embers; in all direc
tions about us tho glare of shining oyes,
and now the brutes came so near that we
could hear the angry snarls and the
snapping of their jaws.
Ueorge Meadows rose and threw fresh
fuel on the lire; the flame that crackled
and flashed up brought into view the
shaggy forms of the gray wolves, the
striped hyenas, behind them, again, the
jackals; and the horses, realizing that
tnelr deadly enemies wero close at hand
gave low whinnies, as though calling
upon us for protection. Tho Morltz
brothers were up, and, together with
ourselves, orjened fire unon the nnininln
at the shifting mosses Where
I they seemed thickest, answered by howls
and cries of rage as our bullets tore their
way into me restless groups. Dor an
hour or more tho animals skulked around
but, as we kept our brushwood lire in
good condition, they finally gave up
what we feared was a premeditated at-
taok, and stole away. And then we
rested and knew no moro till tho chilly
dawn awoke us, when a fresli misfortune
awaited us.
In the confusion of the night before
wooden canteen, filled with water, had
been kicked over, tho bung started and
much of the contents lost. While the
horsos wero being fed aud "Inspanned,1
Meadows made coffee, and then, greatly
refreshed, we set out before tho sun was
up, journeying still deeper into the des'
ert. Our drive was a dreary pull. Once
we passed closo to where a flock of vul
turea wero feeding on the carcass of
some animal that had wandered oil the
road to die. Our track was lined with
whitened bones. After we had halted
for an hour s rest and a hurried break,
fast, we went on again, and should have
been in good spirits enough had not
our horses, Inured as they were, begun
to snow unmistakable signs of the fatign
that follows a lack of water.
We ourselves had not too much to sat'
lowance since the mishap of the night
before. After the midday "outspan'

at the tailboard, and looking round wo
caught the glimpse of tho nose of a jack
al as it disappeared from Bight, The rea
son was obvious. Lashed against tho
back of the wagon outside was a sack ot
dried salt fish, the odor of whioh had at
tracted the sharp scented thieves, and
which the brutes wero endeavoring to
steal, and finally succeeded In doing so
by biting off the lashings.
Morita would not rtop the horses, but
whipped them up afresh, sayings "Let
them have it." Qeorgo aud I, however,
used our revolvers, leaving many of them
dead In the road behind; but, having se
cured the flab, they seemed satisfied, as
we oould see t hem in the dUtanoe fighting
and tearing at each other over the booty.
Jlfht c4ine ad Ajl was y.uiet when we
oubspannrd at the close ot tne aay, our
bed against thn hot sands and our cover
ing tlie dim vault abovo, studded with
stars that, looked like point of burnished
silver stretching far away.
Our third and last day's journey was a
most trying one, during which we fully
realized what uVtcrt traveling may be
come. We had exhausted our last drop
of water the night before, nnd we awoke
with a thirst that seemed then unbear
able; but before the day was over we
learned that our morning thirst was but
trifling affair. Everything was inton-
siflcd on that day; the sun seemed fiercer,
the heat greater, tho deeert drier nnd the
sky moro defiant; in fact, vvo seemed to
bo journoying deeper and deeper Into a
Turnaco whoso fires forbado n further
approach, and when wo halted for the
noonday rest both man and beast were
utterly exhausted.
No one who has not crossed a desert
can possibly imagine tho fearful condi
tion to which a want of water reduces
dm; the food is ewallowod with difll-
ulty, aud tho system is faint with fevor,
while tho knowledge of its absence docs
but heighten tho craving of the body for
its cool refreshment. After our rest wo
set out again, and tho titno slipped by in
silenco. Later, looking up, I saw some
thing, and turned and said to Meadows:
"Thank Oodl thero is water ahoad.
See, there is a lako a few miles off."
"A laker exclaimed Morltz. "Don't
you know what that is?"
"What Is It. If not n laker demanded
Meadows.
A mimce and nothing else," said
the elder Moritz.
A mirngel" I cried. "Why, I can seo
the water; thero aro tho reflections of
the trees and deer drinking."
"You'll seo what II becomo of your
lake, mynheer, and your trees nnd your
deer, as we go," ho replied with a short
laugh. "Nol you'll seo no water till
we'ro out of the Karroo and at Verbeck's
farm."
Far away overhead In tho brazen sky
was a single vulture that made ono dizzy
to look at. An hour later tho stumbling
horses suddenly pricked up their ears,
and the leaders neighed.
"There is water, said Morltz, In nn
undertone of surprise. "You may do
eclve a man, but you can't deceivo a
horse."
Truo enough, in a short timo wo came
up to n nearly dried pool of filthy water.
little more than mud, as thick as por
ridge mid aa brown as chocolate, towards
wluoh tho horses rushed with new en-
erpy. It was it cruel act, out we pulled
up suddenly, and Adolph and his brother
leaped to the ground nnd held them back
while Meadows and 1 ran forward and
scooped up tho liquid nnd Btraincd it
through a handkerchief until wo had col
lected a lare kettleful. Then we out-
spanned and let (lie horses go, and stood
and wntched them as they eagerly licked
up tho muddy compound. Ono may ask
how it was this little pool should bo in
tho road tracks of the desert, where,
as far ns we Knew, no rain nad
fallen. 1 c:inuot tell; I only know
that it was there and that it saved
our lives. A liro was made, and the
kettlo set on it; wo knew we had tho
water aud could wait. It was boiled
to free it from impurities and germs it
might contain, and then, when properly
heated, wo again strained it through n
handkerchief, afterward pouring it oil
into a porous pitcher wo had with us
and, incasing that ugain with a strip of
wet flannel, wo placed tho pitcher in the
sun, where llio evaporation of tne steam
ing flannel cooled tho water Insido to
delicious freshness, though it could not
improve tho flavor.
Wo drank a large cupful each It waB
tho color of polished mahogany nnd put
tho rest into the wagon, sinking our thirst
as we drove on. Juat before tho sun set,
a globo of crimson flro in an empty,
quivering sky, wo saw before us, touched
with his last beams, a distaut fringe of
trees, nnd we knew we were nearingour
journey's end, for Verbeck s farm lay bo-
hind that distant foliage. Our last meal
was eaten on tho desert, our last rest
taken till the moon was up, and then on
again wo "trekked" through n silent
world.
At midnight of that same day we
walked our weary horses up to tho farm
gate, and wero met by the hospital farmer
Verbeck and his family, heralded by the
troop of doga that are invariably to be
found hanging about tho Dutch farm
houses. Our journoy across the Karroo
was accomplished nnd wo had reached
tho farm of inooifontein (beautiful wa.
ter). Behind the white walled house
and shaded trees ran a small river to
which wo led tho horses before taking
them to tho Imrn; and later, over au im

A Stranger Wlinae Title l'roducett

Sur,
A dignified looking stranger entered
tho ticket office of tho St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad yes,
terday, and stated that he wished to
purchase tickets for himself and family
to Texas, and also wanted to se
cure rates for tho transportation of
carload of household furniture. Col
Harry Wilson waited on the gentleman
and ascertained that his name was Mar
tin, He negotiated a trade with him
for the tickets, nnd referred him to the
freight ofllce on Monroe street for Infor
mation about freight rates.
As tho strangor displayed u goodly

Wilson to treat him with tho consldera

Billy to take the colonel over and intro
duce him to Mr. Dartloy, and ho took
care to lay tho accent on tho colonel.
Billy got the stranger safely over to
the freight otlice, unit in his politest
manner presented him to Will Burtley

introduce to you Col. Martin."
The stranger drew himself up haught

right hand over his left breast pocket
sold: "l am no colonel, young man;
am something higher than that."
"Excuse me; I meant to say briga
uier, apologized limy.
"I havo a higher title than that," said
the great man.
Billy was equal to the occasion, and
came again with "I really meant to say
major general, you know."
He was knocked out again, however,
by the supposed officer remarking wltl
heightened dignity, whioh, however,
was softened by a quiet, amused smile

"You must be the commander-in-chief

alyzed him by the announcement that
he held a still higher title.
Billy was stumped. He thought tbedis,

missed tliat idea, and then his curiosity
got the better of his reverence, aud he
blurted out: "Well, who are you, any

Uelit or Honor.
England, which in rich in gentlemen,
furnished, in tffe beginning of the pres
ent century, a good model of that genius
whioh the world loves In diaries James
Fox, who added to his great abilities the
most social disposition and real love of
men. A characteristic anecdote is re
lated ot the celebrated orator nnd states
man: A tradesman who had long dunned
Mr. Fox for n noto of three hundred
guineas found him one day counting
gold, and demanded payment of his long
due note.
"I cannot pay you now," said Fox. "I
owo this money to Sheridan; It is a debt
of honor. It an accident should happen
to ino he lias nothing to show to main
tain his claim." .
"Then," said the creditor, "I change
my debt into a debt of honor," and tore
the noto in pieces.
Fox thanked the man for his confi
dence, and paid him, saying; ''His debt
was ot older standing, and Sheridan
must wait,"
Fox was the lovor of liberty, friend of
the Hindoo, frieud of the African slave;
he possessed a great personal popularity,
and Napoleon said of him, on the occa
sion of his visit to Paris in 1605: "Mr.
Fox will always bold the first place in an
assembly at the Tuilerles." Youth's

Bis Trayer Answered.
A certain Chicago coal man enjoys
nothing more than be does a romp with
his two pretty boys. After supper ev
ery night he has great fun with them.
One evening last week his wife was
taken sick, and be cut short the usual
romp, much to the disappointment of
the boys, who had been looking forward
all day to his homecoming. Ho told
them it was time for them to go to bed,
and, liko obedient boys, they walked off
without u word of remonstrance. Silent
ly they disrobed and prepared to retire.
The larger boy said his prayer and found
his way between tho sheets. Then the
little fellow- knelt down by the bedside,
uttered his prayer and added: "Please,
God, make papa funny somo more." And
the father, who had been waiting just
outside tho door to see that they retired
all right, overheard the petitiou and
went In aud gave Ills two boys another
great romp. The little fellow then re-
tired In too llrm belief that bis prayer
had been answered. Chicago Herald.
Jndigestion
IS not'only a distressing eomplalntfot
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, Is the parent of Innumerable
maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, ot Brockway
Centre, Mich.;
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burdeu and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself aboute All.
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate conld be digested at
nil. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving Te
lle). Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent' good until I commenced
t lie use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which
lias produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa
rilla I could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
nnd with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength im
proved each day, and aftor a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."
