CHAPTER XI. '
HE SNAPS.
"I hare found something In the loft"
en Id Em to Waldo, who was listlessly
piling cakes of fuel on the kraal wal'
week after. "It is a box of books
that belonged ,lo my father. We
thought that Taut' Sannie bad burned
them."
Ihe boy put down the cake he was
raising and looked at her.
"I dou't think they are very nice, net
tor!ea," she added, "but you can go
and take any you like."
So saying, she took up the plate In
, Which she had brought his breakfast
ana walked offo the house.
After that the boy worked quickly.
The pile of fuel l!onaparte had ordered
. him to pack was ou the wall in half
an hour, lie then weut to throw salt
on the skins lald out to dry. Finding
the pot empty, he went to the loft to
refill It. . '
Bonaparte Rleuklns. whose door
opeued at the foot of the ladder, saw
the boy go up and stood in the door
way waiting for his return, lie want
d his boots blacked. Doss, finding he
-could not follow his master up the
round bars, sat patiently at the foqt of
the ladder. Presently he looked up
longingly, but no one appeared. Then
Bonaparte looked up also and began to
call, but there was no auswer What
could the boy be doing? The loft was
an unknowu land to l5ounarte. He
had often wondered what was up
there, lie liked to know what was in
all locked up places and out of the
i way corners, but he was iiniirt to
climb the ladder. So Bonaparte look
d up and. in the name of all that was
- tautalizing. questioned what the boy
did up there. The loft was used only
as a lumber room. What could the
fellow find up there to keep him so
long?
Could .the Boer woman have beheld
Waldo at that Instant any lingering
doubt which might have remained In
her mind as to the boy's Insanity
would instantly have vanished, for,
having filled the salt pot. he proceeded
to look for the box of books among
the rubbish that tilled the loft Under
a pile of sac. .8 he found It a rough
packing case, nailed tip. but with one
loose plank. He lifted that and saw
.. the even backs of a row of Iwoks. He
knelt down before the box and ran bis
band along its rough edges, as If to
assure himself of Its existence. He
. stuck his hand In among the books and
pulled out two. He felt tbem. thrust
. his fingers in among the leaves and
' crumpled them a little, as a lover feels
the hair of bis mistress. The fellow
gloated over his treasure. He had bad
a dozen books in the course of his life.
Now here was a mine of them opened
at his feet After awhile be began to
read the titles and now and again
opened a book and read a sentence;
but he was too excited to cntcb the
meanings distinctly. At last he came
to a dull brown volume. He read the
name, opened It In the center and
Where he opened began to read. 'Twas
a chapter on property that he fell upon.
"Communism. Fonrierlsm. St Simon
fsm." In a work on political economy.
He read down one page and turned
over to the next: he read down that
without changing his posture by an
Inch: be read the next and the next.
t kneeling up all the while with the book
Id his hand and his lips parted.
All he read he did uot fully under
stand. The thoughts were new to hl-n.
But this was the fellow's startled joy
in the book the thoughts were his;
they belonged to him. He had 'never
thought them before, but they were
bis.
lie laughed silently and Internally,
with the still intensity of triumphant
Joy.
So. then, all thinking creatures did
not semi up the one cry: "As thou,
dear Lord, hast created things In the
beginning, so are they now. so ought
they to be, so will they be, world with
out end. and it doesn't concern us what
they are. Amen." There were men
, to whom not only "kopjes" and stones
were calling out Imperatively, "What
are we. and how came' we here? Un
derstand us and know us." but to whom
ven the old. old relations between
man and man and the customs of the
ages called and could not be made still
and forgotten.
The boy's heary body quivered with
xcltement. So he was not alone, not
alone. He could not quite have told
any one why he was so glad and this
Warmth bad come to him. Ills cheeks
were burning. No wonder that Bona
parte called In vnln and Doss put his
paws on the ladder and whlnwl till
three-quarters of an hour had passed
At last the boy nut the book In his
breast, and buttoned It tightly to him.
lie took up the salt pot and went to
the top of the ladder. Bonaparte, with
Lis hands folded under his coattalls.
looked up when he appeared cud ac
costed him.
"You've been rather a lomr time tin
there, my lad." be said as the boy de
scended with a tremulous haste, most
unlike his ordinary slow movements.
l"Yoa didn't bear me calling. I bud-

Bonaparte whisked the tails of bis
coat up and down as he looked at him.

A TALE OF LIFE IN THE

which were very farseelng! He looked
at the pot. It was rather a small pot
to have taken three-quarters of an
hour In the filling. He looked at the
face. It was flushed. And yet Taut'
Sannie kept uo wine. He had uot
been drinking, nis eyes were wide
open and bright He had not been
sleeping There was no girl up there,
lie had not been making love. Bo
naparte looked at him sagaciously.
What would account for the marvelous
cbnnge in the boy coming down the
ladder from the boy going up the lad
der' One tliiug there was. hid uot
Tnnf Sniitile keep in the loft "luil
tongs' and nice smoked sausages?
There must be something nice to eat
up there Aha! That was It!
Bonaparte was so interested in car
rying out this chain of Inductive rea
soiling that he quite forgot to have his
boots blacked.
He watched the boy shuttle off with
the suit pot under bis arm Then he
Btood In his doorway and raised h!s
eyes to the quiet blue sky and audibly
propounded this riddle to himself:
"What is the connection between the
naked hack of a certain boy with a
greatcoat on and a salt pot under bis
arm and the tip n' a horsewhip? An
swer: No counecriDU at present, but
there will be soon."
Bonaparte was so pleased with" this
sally of his wit that he chuckled a lit
tle and went to lie down on his bed.
There was bread baking that after-
noon, and there was a tire lighted in
the brick oven behind the bouse, and
Taut" Sannle had left the great wood
en elbowed chair in which she passed
; her life and waddled out to look at it.
' Not far off was Waldo, who, having
! thrown a pail of food into the pigsty,
j now leaned over the sod wall looking
at the pigs. Half of the sty was dry.
i but the lower half was a pool of mud.
I on the edge of which the mother sow
j lay with closed eyVs. her ten little ones
sucking.- The father pig, knee deep In
' the mud, stood running his snout into
a rotten pumpkin and wriggling bia
curled tail.
Waldo wondered dreamily as he
stared why they were pleasant to look
at. Taken singly, they were not beau
tiful; taken together, they were. Was
It not because there was a certain har
mony about them? The old sow jvas
suited to the little pigs and the little
pigs to their mother, the old boar to
the rotten pumpkin and all to the mud.
Tbry suggested the thought of nothlug
that should be added, of nothing that
should be taken away. And, he won
dered on vaguely, was not that the
secret of all beauty, that you who look
on So he stood dreaming and leaued
farther and farther over the sod wall
and looked at the pigs.
All this time Bonaparte Blenklns was
sloping down from the bouse in an
aimless sort of way. but he kept one
eye fixed on the pigsty, and each gyra
tion brought him nearer to It. Waldo
stood like a thing asleep when Bona
parte came close up to him.
In old days, when a small boy play
ing In an Irish street gutter, he (Bona
parte) had been familiarly known
among bis comrades under the title of
Tripping Ben. this from the rare ease
and dexterity with which, by merely
projecting his foot, he could precipitate
any unfortunate companion ou to the
crown of his head. Years had elapsed,
and Tripping Ben had become Bona
parte, but the old gift was in him still.
He came close to the pigsty. All the
defunct memories of his boyhood re
turned on him la a flood as with an
adroit movement he Inserted his leg
between Waldo and the wall and scut
him over the pigsty.
The little pigs were startled at the
strange intruder and ran behind their
mother, who snified at him. Taut'
Sannie smote her hands together and
laughed, but Bonaparte "was far from
joining her. Lost in reverie, he gazed
at the distant horizon.
The sudden reversal of head and feet
had thrown out the volume that Waldo
carried In his breast. Bonaparte pick
ed It up and began to Inspect It as the
boy climbed slowly over the wall. lie
would have walked off sullenly, but be
wanted Tils book and waited till It
should be given him.
"U".'." said Bonaparte, raising his
eyes from the leaves of the book which
he was csamlnlna. "I op; your ooat

has uot been injuivd. of an ele

"O Urd. O Lord." cried Tanf San
nie. laughing and holding her sides,
"how the child looks as though he
thought the mud would never wash
off! O Lord. I shall die! You. Bona
parte, are the funniest man I ever
saw." - v
Bonaparte Blenklns was now careful
ly inspecting the volume be had picked
up. Among the subjects on which the
darkness of his understanding had
been enlightened during his youth po
litical economy had not been one. lie
was not. therefore, very clear as to
what the nature of the book might be,
and. as the name of the writer. J. S.
Mill, might, for anything he knew to
the contrary, have belonged to a ven
erable member of the British and For
eign Bible society. It by no means
threw light upon the question. He was
not In any way sure that political econ
omy hid nothing to do with the cheap
est way of procuring clothing for the
army and navy, which would be cer
tainly both a political and an economi
cal subject.
But Bonaparte soon came to a con
clusion as to the nature of the book
and its contents by the application of
a simple rule now largely acted upon,
but which, becoming universal, would
Mive much thought and valuable time.
It is of marvelous simplicity, of in
finite utility, of universal applicability.
It may easily be committed to memory
and runs thus:
Whenever you come Into coutact
with any book, person or opinion of
which you absolutely comprehrnd
nothing, declare that book, person or
opinion to be Immoral. Bespatter It,
vituperate against it. strongly. Pisist
that any man or woman harboring It
Is a fool or a knave. t,r both. Care
fully abstain from studying It. Do all
that in you lies to annihilate that book,
person or opinion
Acting on tliis rule, so wide In Its
comprehensiveness, so beautifully sim
ple . in its working. Bonaparte ap
proached Tant' Sannie with the book
in his hand. Waldo' came a step nearer,
eying it like a dog whose young has
fallen Into evil hands.
"This hook." said Bonaparte. "Is r.ot
a Ot and proper study for a young ami
Immnturv mind."
Taut' Sannie did not understand a
vord and said:
"What?"
"This book." said Bonaparte, bring
ing down his finger with energy on
the cover, "this book is sleg. sleg,
davel. davel!"
Tant' Sannie perceived from the
gravity of his couuietiauce that It was
no laughing matter. From the words
sleg and davel she understood that the
book was evil and had some connec
tion with the prince who pulls the
wires of evil over the whole earth.
"Where did you get this book?" she
asked, turning her twinkling little eyes
on Waldo. "I wish that my legs may
be as thin as an englishman's If it
Isn't one of your father's. He had
more sins than all the Kaffirs In Kaf
Hrland. for all that he pretended to be
bo good all those years aud to live with
out a wife because he was thinking of
the one that was dead! As though ten
dead wives could make up for one fat
one with arms and legs!" cried Tanf
Sannie. snorting.
"It was not my father's book." said
the boy savagely. "1 got It from your
loft."
"My loft! My book! How dare you?"
cried Tant' Saunie.
"It was Kin's father's. She gave It
me," he muttered, more sullenly.
"Give it here. What Is the name of
It? What Is it about?" She asked, put
ting her finger upon the title.
Bonaparte understood.
"Political economy." he said slowly.
"Dear Lord!" said Taut' Sauuie.
"Cannot one hear from the very sound
what an ungodly book It Is? One can
hardly say the name. Haven't we got
curses enough on this farm?" cried
Taut' Sannie eloquently "my best Im
ported Merino ram dying of nobody
knows what, aud the Shorthoru cow
casting her two calves, aud the sheep
entwi up with the scab aud the
drought? And Is this a time to bring
ungodly things about the place, to call
down the vengeance of Almighty Cod
to punish us more? Didn't the minis
ter tell me when 1 was conlirmed uol
to read any book except my Bible and
bymnbook: that the devil was In all
the rest? And I never have read any
other book." said Tant' Sannie. with
vigorous energy, "aud I never will!"
Waldo saw that the fate of his book
was sealed and turned sulieuly on his
heel.
"So you will not stay to hear what I
say!" cried Tanf Sannie. "There, take
yolir polity-gollity gomlny. your devil's
boo!" she cried, flinging the book at
his head with much energy.
It merely touched bis forehead on
one side and fell to the ground.
"Co on!" she cried. "I know you are
going to talk to yourself. People who
talk to themselves always talk to the
devil. Co and tell him all about it Co.
go! Uun!" cried Tant' Sannie.
But the lioy neither quickened nor
slackened his pace and passed sullenly
round the back of the wagou house.

afternoon by hands more white aud
delicate than those of the Boer wom

for us quite a fictitious value, for

end.
Bonaparte Blenklns went to pick up
the volume, now loosened from Its cov
er, while Tant' Sannie pushed the
stumps of wood farther Into the oven.
Bonaparte came close Jo her,, tapped
the book knowingly, nodded aud looked
at the fire. Taut' Sauuie comprehend
ed aud. taking the volume from his
hand, threw It Into the back of the
oven. It lay upon the heap of coals,
smoked, flared and blazed, aud the po
litical economy was no more- goue otit
of existence, like many another poor
heretic of flesh and blood.
Bonaparte grinned aud to watch the
process, brought his face so near the
oveu door that the white hair on his
eyebrows got singed. He theu Inquired

Tant' Sannie was dubious. The de
ceased Englishman bad left all his per
aonal effects specially to his child. It
was all very well for Bonaparte to talk
of burning the books. He had had ills
hair spiritually puled. and she had uo
wish to repeat his experience.
She shook her bead. Bonaparte was
displeased. But then a happy thought
occurred to him He suggested that
the key of the loft should henceforth
be put Into his owu safe care and keep

without his permission. To tills Tanf
Sannie readily assented, and the two

was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
