Gen. Dcwet is still at large. Kimberley is isolated. The Doers aro in forco enough to have captured a strong position at Helvetia, in the Lydenburg district, while judging from Lord Kitchener's very recent ml vices, no progress is being made against the Door invaders in Capo Col ony.

"He's going to have a night mare," said the friend, "hut he always grumbles so when you wake him up that I hate to disturb him." He waited awhile longer, Bitting up in bed staring at the mis erable sleeper, and, finally becoming alarmed, he roused him. He sprang up in bed, glared wildly around and said: "Where am I ? I don't see the storm?" "Why, here in my room," said his host, soothingly; "you remember you stayed nil night with me? I beg your pardon for wak ing you up, hut you carried on so I had to." Hcg your pardon," gasped the guest. "I Khali never be grateful enough to you.
