OF Pursiiing Fleet Footed Game and Picking Off Antelopes With a Riile. Tho mornings are col* in South Africaâ€" cold with tho chill of iced thauipagne. One wakes with the Impression of a summons. * One i-s glad to be awake. The world ia full 3f beautiful day dawns. I have seen the .sun rise north and south of the •(lUator, in the eastern and in tiio wcslein hemisphere. Nowhere have t known, says Douglas Story in t'ho Shanghai Times, so inviting a day- ttreak as upon the veldt. It calls one lo a(:tion with the smile of an as- lured obedience. One wakes with one's feet to tire 4mouldering embers. The blankets no lonfjer tempt to sleep. They have grown strangely inadequate. The .sky in the east is green with tho {reeri of the jade stone. Through it the morning star htis burned a tiny flow point. Klsewhere is den.sc Blackness. The stillness is tangible. The .sounds of the night have died. The sounds of the day are not born. The preon above tho skyline lightens to tho greon of old bron/e. A Kaflh- drags a brand from the heap of ishos. He (luickens it into life. lie lets about his cooking. The wait-a- bit thorns rattle their dry bones. The world stirs to its waking. The freen of the horizon lightens to yel- low. It warms to oi-ango. It blazes hito crimson. Out of the heart of Iho furnace emerges the sun. red, {leOMiing, new-minted. From the took pot (â- om"s the fragrance of cof- fee. It is 4 o'clock of a .South African morning. A !SOUSE IN TITIO Itl'CKKT. i tightening of belts, the swallowing of a pannikin of coQee, the luunciiins; of a Uoer meal cookie, the on-sad- Uling of a Uasuto pony need but a sparse ten minutes when tho veldt .pheasa,nts are calling from the grass. The sun clears itself of the horizon. Wc ride away from, the wagon. The white tilt gleams monstrously huge the dawn light. We knot our handkerchiefs about our throats. I and Chris ViUiers, for the air cuts keon as a razor. Chris is Uoer-born and veklt-bred; long, lanky, loose-jointed, with far- sighted blue eyes set deep beneath shaggy eyebrows the color of the sun- dried K'"asa bushing his haunche.s. He sits his horse straight-limbed, with the balance of a skater. His clothes am coarso and chase-stainod, his beard long and untriuunod, his ve!s- choen.s hacked from tho hide of tho water buck with his own hand. His stirrups arc mud-cuked and rusty. His rille is clean and burnished. It ia his fetish and his friend. His name is carved with infinite care ui)on the stock. Ilis waist, is girt with a self- fash'oiied bandolier glistening with cartridg.'S. Ilis eyes and his rille â- tell tho tale the Ivnglishmen learned at t'olenso and nt Modder Hiver. From his youth up Chris has been llaiiglit to .shoot to kill. He has ilearnoil the value of cartridges. He rides with his rifle btitt resting upon khis thiKh. Beyond, in the yellow veldt, is a troop of hartbeest. They are grouped about a salt pan. 'Their triimgidar shadows show black ui)on the sand. Through the ijlass their long hlack faces, up.standing withers, drooping quarters, gnarled horns. sceui the rudely modelleil creations of :i K.ivage. Their russet coats glow Bgain.st the cold white of the pan. The cows are licking the salt edge of tho brack, swn.ving their tails. Twi) hulls on their knees nre belabor- Jng ca' h other goodnattircilly with their awkward. ineiT<>otual horns. The clutter of their swashhuejtling comes with The meniory of a medieval tour- ney. I would fain .stay and watch. iC'hris needs meal. Tlis rille goe-s up Wt Iho leftmo.st bull. t aim at the iUier TIIE REPORTS ARE AS ONE. ' There is a sudden peace between the duelists. Tho Doer's bull falls for- ward upon his opponent. Tho other ati'uggles to his feet. Their horns are interlocked, lieforo tho wounded antelope can rid himself of the en- cumberance of the head, our rides ring out a secon<l time. Two hart- beest lie stretched upon the pan. Tho herd is olT up tho wind. Tho white blazo upon their rumps bobs ludi- crously. No hor.se can outrun tho hartbeest, but we can alTord to give them chase. Away out over tho veldt they stretch. Their clean-cut limbs movo rhythmically. They race a.s though drilled by a sergeant instructor. It is glorious out here in tho young morning. Tho cool air is invigorat- ing as a shower bath. The horses enjoy the sport. Chris points with his rifle to the front of the antelope. His keen eye has deti;cted tho break of a donga. He digs his rusty spur into his pony. The horses gallop mightily. Tho antelope are swallow- ed up in the dip of the valley. Tho hors.'S are pulled up on the very brink of tho donga. Together we are gazing into tho hollow. There, to the right, is the bevy of red coats They are iJOO yards distant. Chris wastes no time. Ho sights at a lumbering cow. The rifle cracks. Tho hartbi-est swerves as though stung by an insect. The thud of tho bullet comes heavily back to us. The antelope keeps on. We spring to our ponies. We ride rapidly along the verge of the valle.y. The hartbeest is distanced by her comrades. .She tosses her head im- pntiently. Chris waves his rille in triumph. Without a shudder of warning she pitches forward upon her long black no.se, lies still, her red body strangol.v out of tone with the pale yellow of the landscape. Her herd comrades are but a spatter of dots sprinkled across the open veldt. Chri.s has no time for sentiment. He springs from his horse, clambers down to the cnrc;',.<;s. Willi the dex- terity of long experience he skins it. We need no bultong and the heads of the bull hcartbcest at the brack pan are better worth keeping than this staring one of the cow. So he toils up the bank with tho reeking hide to his pon.y, fastens it behind hi.? saddle, and mounts for the homeward journey. Beneath, in the donga, we leave the corpse of the hartbeest, pathetic in its naked- ness. In the blue vault above an aasvogel is poised, watching the car- rion. From the rocks a jackal ci'eeps hunu'i-ily forwartl. There is no beast of the desert, so poor that the veldt scavengers will n:.t WAKF, III.M \r ms DYIN'G. Easily wo tripple on the back trail, Chris singing llie volkslied. There is ai\ ominous gathering of vultures above the brack pan. Chris quickens his pony, ceases his carol. "Pas op, Mijuheer!'.' ho yells acro.ss lo me. "The aasvogels are tearing the skins.' We canter to tho edge of the pan. Nothing has been disturbed. Tho vultures have tlino at their disposal. They are still circling above the dead hartbeest, content to wait the approach of tho jackals. We hobble otu- horses, and .set* to the labor of skinning. They look strangely un- natural, the two antelope, with their Sunlight Soap will not burn the nap off woolens nor the surface off linens.

Yet do they allord roy- al siiort, and our bag is usually heavy. We have fi'esh meat enough to delight tho Kafflis, to yield a meal tor our own table. Se wo ride awa.y frcun the brack pan. Wo found it pure and unsullied, dimpled with tho dainty footprints of antelope. We leave it blood-stained and trampled upon, polluted with the presence of beasts of carrion. It is hot now and airless. The veldt palpitated like a living thing. Outlines are blurred. Foul flies cling to the skins at our saddles. Lo- custs spring out from underneath our horses' hoofs. Wo plug steadily campward. We stumble upon it al- most before we had recognized the surroimdings. We kick up a slumb- ering Kallir. We call for water. Wo demand breakfast. There is an air of sudden resolution throughout the camp. Tho voor-Iooper gathers sticks for the lire. The cook boy lovingly handles tho fresh meat. His assistants bake cookies and cut up vegetables. Tho driver departs for the strayed oxen. In the shade, un- | dor the wagon, we lie. waiting tilTin. We are wear.yâ€" hungry. Otu- pipes af- ford some little alleviation. We think of the joys of the morning, of tho .satisfaction of the kill, of men in pink hunting red hartbeest, of pheas- ants as vultures tearing carrion, of â€" "SkolT, bans!" The grinning coov boy has made ready our steaks of antelope. We rub our e.yes, and fall to as only the men of the veldt can fall to after a morning's riding. Hartbeest is not so palatable as springbook or koodoo, but this is no da.y of fuio distinctions. We eat. We smoke. Wo fall asleep in the shade of the wagon.

Alfred WolIT in- to the my.sterious cause of cancer has .yielded an unexiiecled conclusion which promises temperance advocates a new and powerful argument. lb'. Wollt discovers that all the districts of high cancer mortality are those in which beer or cider is largely drunk. IJavarin, for instance, heads the list in German.v and .Salzburg in Austriaâ€" both great beer-drinking I)rovinci-8. In Franco the statistics are still more striking. Theio is tho most marked contrast between the high cancer mortality in beor- drinliing departments nnd the low deatli-rulo from cancer elsewhere.
