AN UNCLE 107 Idu

Vvv‘vvv
N MY opinion Kitty Clarke was the
‘- prettiest girl in the town of Bran-
don, and Brandon was famous for its
pretty girls. The fact- that she was 18
and I was 40 may have intensified her
beauty to me, for I can remember now
that on one or two occasions I came
very nearly marking three or four per-
sons ofi my list; of acquaintances be-
cause they had spoken rather slight—
ingly of my taste in feminine beauty.
As I have stated, Iwas 40 and Kitty
, was 22 years younger, but what is a
little thing like time in the consider-
. ation of a) matter which lasts for eter— '
nity, as lOVe surely does? N 0t thatl
was in love' with Miss
her in such lofty esteem that love it—
self could not have been a very great
improvement upon the condition of
my feelings. As for her beauty,I must
confess that masculine eyes 40 years

' wheels dying away down the street.
II thought I-saw a look of pain in Kitty's
face, but I did not speak of it. The
trip would be hers in a few months
and then the dear girl would never have
to sit at home for lack of her own ve-
hlcle.
For an hour or more I talked to
Kitty much as I had done on other
evenings and then I asked her to be my
wife. ‘ /
I waited a moment when I had asked
this important question and was sur-
prised that Kitty did not throw herself
in my arms, or, at least, with a shy
blush. wait. for me to take her there.
{On the contrary, she began to cry. and.
asking me to excuse her, she went out
’of the room.
I do not know that any man who
reads this story has ever asked a wom-
an to marry him, and then have her
walk out and leave him sitting alone
with his thoughts. To him I need not
state shew I felt; to any other it would
the impossible.
Ten minutes or perhaps 'a. dozen,
though it seemed to be a week, had
passed and then the door opened and I
cross to meet Kitty and receive her of-
firmation of my suit, the dear,.nervous
little screat-u're.
But it was not Kitty.
“My dear:madam,"1 stammered, as
Mrs. {Price entered. ' ,
“Good evening, Mr. Filkins,” re-
sponded Kitty’s aunt, coming forward
' with her :hand extended, which I took,
for, as I have previously said, I liked
“Be seated," she
added, with .a .wave of her soft white
hand toward the chair I had just left,
at the same timescating herself in the
' chair Kitty had just occupied.

I was entirely unbalanced at this
procedure, but I obeyed.
“Will you be kind enough to ex—”
I began, whenshe interrupted me—
“It is no more than is due you, Mr.
Filkins,” she said, “.utndeghe very ex-
traordinary circumstanc ‘ . Indeed.
Mr. Filkins,‘”-sho went on, getting more
excited every minute, "I don’t see what
ever possessed a man of your age to
talk as you did to a child like Kitty.
You are old enough to know better,
a and I’m sure if I had had any idea you
i
were not to be trusted, I am very sure
‘I would never have permitted you to I

g Why, you are the last man on earth I !
old are possibly somewhat more sus- .
ceptible to feminine beauty aged 18
than would be true of the reverse prop- .
osition.
I had’known Kitty about a year, and I
being rich, as wealth is computed in
towns the size of Brandon, and Kitty
being poor, as poverty is computed al—
_, 'most anywhere, I was received with
more enthusiasm perhaps than might
have otherwise obtained. Even then
there wane times when I have seen
Kitty smile on a nephew of mine, who
was my cashier, ina fashion which.
forced me to wonder if she would have ~
done so had he been 40 and rich, in-
stead of 25 and nearly as poor as she
was. But I did not permi trifles of
‘fthat sort to worry me long, for Ifelt
with the sublime faith of. a man‘in my
position that when I was ready to ask
Kitty to be mine Kitty was going to
the ready and waiting to answerlaf-
firma-tively.
There was not another girl in Bran—
don who wouldn’t have been glad of
Kitty’s ~ opportunities, and why not
.Ki-tty?
“Why no't, indeed?” I chuckled, well
satisfied with myself; and I Went
about my affairs whistling with much
content.
On such occasions my nephew was
'wont to look up from his desk as I
passed along, but he would say noth-
ing.
Next after Kitty my most particular
admiration was the Widow Price», her
aunt, with whom she lived and in con-
junction with whom she taught a small
private school. whereby they managed
to eke out a fairly comfort-able exist-
ence in a community where existence
came cheaply.
Many is the time I have intimated to
Aunt Price that some day life would
be easier for her, all on account of Kit-
ty, and it was only necessary that she
wait a little longer with the same
beautiful patience which had charac-
terized her life even when the shadows
were heaviest.',-Then I felt an over-
vhelming desire to put my arms
around her plump and pretty waist
and let her rest her tired head on the
bosom of her devoted nephew-in-law-
io-be. but I always restrained myself,
though there were times when there
_ were tears in her eyes, and I have ob-
served that when women weep they
weep more satisfactorily if they have
a manly bosom to sob their sorrows
out upon.
' Incidentally I might say that Kitty’s
chapcron was a dozen or more years
older than her charming niece and
showed very plainly on every line of
her face and graceful curve of her fig-
ure where Kitty got her beauty, and
this was a comfort to- me, for I was
fairly possessed of good looks. as had
been my, father and mother before me,
' and their brothers and sisters, so that
I had an ancestral predisposition to
hereditary traits along the beauty
lines, as it were. -
One evening I called upon Kitty with
my mind full-1y made up that I would
propose to her on that occasion, as I
.had been growing more and more fre-
quent about the Price cottage, and peo-
. ple would soon begin to talk openly, as
théy had already begun to whisper.
Dick, my nephew, was there when I
arrived, but as he had been there many
. times previously and always obedient-
ly arose and departed when his uncle
. ‘came. I gave the matter no thought
~ and cheerily told the boy .he migbttalte

BOERS GREATLY OUTNUMBER ENGLISH ~
London’s Worst Fears Are Realized.
It In Believed the Government In
Withholding News—Cape Town
Advices More Favorable.
LONDON, Oct. 25.——The following dis-
patch from General Sir George Stewart
White, dated Ladysmith, Oct. 24, to the
Marquis of Lansdowne, secretary of
state for war, received last evening at 11
o’clock, was posted at the war office soon
after midnight: '
“Information received yesterday show-
ed that the Boers had established them-
selves in considerable numbers in an ex-
ceedingly strong position west of the
main road leading from Ladysmith to
Dundee.
“I also had information that the Dun-
dee force, formerly commanded by Gen-
eral Symons and since his wound com-
manded by General Yule, was falling
back on Ladysmith by way of the Help-
makaar road, Beith and the valleys of the
Waschbank and Sunday rivers and was
expected to reach Sunday River valley
today.
“I therefore moved out with a strong
force to cover the movement of Yuie’s
column. The enemy was discovered
about seven miles out of Ladysmith in a
position of exceptional natural strength,
west of the road. When he saw that
preparations were being made against
gneat accuracy.
“Our artillery soon got into position,
and the gun was silenced. Our troops
were ordered to occupy a strong ridge
parallel to the enemy’s position, but
nearer to the road.
“I confined my efforts to occupying
him and hitting him hard enough to pre-
vent his taking action against Yule’s
column. Numbers of the enemy fled to
the west, and the firing had practically
ceased at 2 o’clock.” .
The war office dispatch seems to real-
ize the worst fears. General Yule has
abandoned not only Dundee, but Glen-
coe also, and, so far as present news
would indicate, he has neither joined
General White nor reached Ladysmith.‘
General White’s “successful action,” an-
nounced in parliament by Mr. “lyndham,
seems to resolve itself into a mere en-
gaging of the attention of the Free State
troops while General Yule is slipping
southward.
It is evident from the official dis-
patches that both Commandant General
Joubert’s column on the north and the
Orange Free State troops on the west
now occupy strong positions and that
nothing hinders the Boers from, follow-
ing up General Yule’s retirement and
getting around Ladysmith from the
southeast. Until re-enforcements arrive
it seems that General White is obliged to
concentrate on Ladysmith.
It is believed that the government has
other dispatches that have not yet been
published.
The sccretary’of state for war left Mr.
Choate’s residence immediately at the
end of the banquet to General Harrison
and proceeded to the war office, where,
even after midnight, there was consider-
able activity, many visitors calling to in-
quire for information, among them a sis-
ter of General Sir Archibald Hunter.
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Mail, telegraphing at 9:45 p. 11:.
yesterday, says:
“General Yule has performed a bril-
liant strategical movement. By a swift
march 'to the south, leaving Glencoe emp-
ty, he has effected a junction of his
forces with those of Sir George Stewart
White slightly to the north of Lady-
smith.
“The two are now in a position to offer
battle. I believe the first attack will be
made on the large Free State force which
entered Natal by way of Tintwa pass
and which has since been harassing La-
dysmith. The military authorities de-
cided that by joining their forces the two
gozu-"rils would be better able to cope
with one large force at a time than by
having two small detachments to oppose
simultaneously two big Boer forces.
“Accordingly, after defeating the Free
State troops, they will ofier battle to
Commandant General Joubert. Only 40
miles now separate the two Boer forces.
Hence the need for swift and telling ac-
tion. ,
“The two sections of the Boer army to-
gether outnumber the entire British force
by three to one. Hard fighting is certain
at a very early date. Our men are confi-
dent. and there is much enthusiasm.
“The fighting today outside Ladysmith
was a more brush. The losses on neither
side were significant. It was merely an
artillery duel, in which the Boers came
off decidedly the worse.”
It is rumored at Plymouth that the ad-
miralty is about to mobilize a reserve
fleet in home ports and that this and
other undertakings are due to the inten-
tion of Russia to seize :1 port in the Per-
sian gulf.
The colonial office has received a cable-
gram stating that President Steyn of the
Orange Free State has issued a procla-
mation annexing that part of Cape Col-
ony which is north of the Vaal river.
This means Griqualand West and Bechu-
analnnd and is apparently in consequence
of the Free State forces having seized
the railway and all stations north of
Kimberley except Mafcking, unless
Mafeking has fallen since the last news
from there. which is a week old.
The colonial officelhas published 3 ca-
ble adispatch received from the British
high Commissioner in South Africa, Sir
cant dispatch from Sir Godfrey Lagden,
the British resident commissioner in Ba-
sutoland, calling attention to the restless-
ness of the Basutos. who, he says, he has
been trying to calm. The resident com-
missioner adds: '
“Our policy, however, has been made ,
difficult by the blustering of the Boers,
who have freely threatened to attack
Masuru and other stations. These
threats, combined with intriguing, have
contributed to rouseexcitement among
I wish to place it on record
that the Boers have unwisely attempted
to shake the allegiance of the Basntos
and frustrate our efforts toward tranquil-
lity. The Boers',,therefore, are responsi-
ble for anycommotion and for the alarm
regarding native invasions which now
prevails.”
