WILL GIVE THE KAILYAIRDERS FITS.

"Anything new, Scratehard?" enquired tine publisher, as he toyed with his dia-mond-studded seal. "Yes," said the author, eagerly, as he drew a bulky roll of manuscript from his pocket. "I've got an original story here that is simply grand." "What's grand 1 about it?" "The dialect; it's all Boer." Tho publisher slightly started. "That seems like a good thing,' 'he said. "Let's hear a little of it." ' The author moistened his lips, unfolded a manuscript, and began — "The bronzed young Uitlander paused beside the spruit, which was now little more than a dusty sluit. He had com© rapidly through tho krantz, and over the nek, and along the poort, and past the kopje., and straight across the level veldt, ana he was tired. Raising his bottle of ddp td his lips, he was disappointed to find it was empty. 'He filled the flask at the fontein in the kloof, close to the drift, and moistening <v little biltong, ate eagerly. 'I wish I had some mealies,' he muttered'; 'but I can't expect it until I reach the next kraal. Even then I doubt tho wisdom of showing myself. I feel pretty sure that th© zarps were put on my track as soon as the voorlooper recognised, me.' " The great publisher waved his hand in triumph. "Splendid!" he cried. "That's just what we've been looking for. We'll have it on the bookstalls in ten days. Can you fill a, sequel with some more of the same stuff?" And the happy author said he thought he could.
