The Doers Inquired anxiously whether Dloemfonteln was in possession cf the British. When the order came for the lioor prison ers to cross tho river to the Ilrltlsh enmp they took all that they could carry of such things 'as pots, pans ami blankets, throwing their rillcs In two heaps that gradually In creased to huge proportions. As tho ford bad been swollen by heavy rain, tho Doers took off their trousers anil waded across. The scene looked like play rather than war. Tho men laughed nnd splashed each other In tho water, but among them were some grim faces, which lookid with disfavor upon such sportlvcnefs. hi: MniA,Y. ',i'V'fa pi.msTMi.!
