It la fashionable to ellad. to a railway Journey m South Africa la tone, of thinly veiled acorn and contempt, to condemn It a. tireaom., complain of It aa uninterest ing Thre la space almost undreamed-ot apace. And that la all. Through th. ast tb. traveler Uvea In th. paat.

In America yoa croaa a land of the future. Th. cltlea are marvel, of Inventive gerrtua; even away In the country there la an echo of th. hum of re.tle.a enterprise, the murmur of a people confident they are hurrying on to reallie a great destiny. But aero, th. great plateau of Bouth Africa you seem to live alwaya In th. present. It become, a dominating Idea. Tou cannot picture a paat sav. like the present or imagine a future differing from today. The veldt I. and It looks as If It will alway. be as It U. Th. Blender thread of steel which crosses Its Illimitable space, the little town, set down at such ' great distance, from one another, play no part in the scene. They are there. It is true, but they look fortuitous, out of place. Modern Haste out of Flaee. Train, clang across the Karoo and pant up the hillsldca from Natal, but the veldt Ignores them; it does not adapt Itself to them. The alow-moving ox wagon alone fits In the picture the mail train, with It. searchlight piercing the darknesa and peace of the night. Is. and alway. will be, a thing apart. It always seem, to me thut there 1. something curious, almost un canny, about the great spaces of southern Africa something you do not find In other great lands. Th. haste of modern life clashes with the spirit of the veldt. There Is a .llent protest against th. Intruder. The country call, disease and drouth to Its aid to prevent Its freedom being shackled by the bonds of civilization and the handscuffs of progress. The space destroys speed. A. you hurry northward or eastward from London In a mllo-!n-mlnute express th. close-set vil lages fly pa.-, increasing the Impression of haste, but let the same engine pull .the train northward from the Cape Into the fcow A r-i j .. . ...

Ever a reellaa- of Taataesa. So on through another day-aJway. th. same snaca. At last as night falls one. more you enter a region of snow-whlt. hills, which look ghastly in the moonlight, 6f queer tower, of Iron bar. and enormous wheels, aa of th. tortur. chamber of a giant'. Inquisition. Stations .lip past more quickly, house, grow more numerous. Fin ally appears a great city, where electric tram, glide through the streets and a blase of electric light shows a background of tail building. It I. the reef and the golden city, th. magnet which ha. drawn th. rail way all these hundreds of mile, from th. sea. But It 1. soon forgotten. Th. veldt lap. the wall, of Johannesburg and will re main, after It has gone, to Cover th. Scars made by man. Further on you lose count of time In a Bouth African train Is a gorg. down wh.eh you descend to th. lew country, th. fever stricken land toward Delagoa bay. Tou hav. heard of bold hill., of grand .c.nery, but th. winding descent Is disappointing. Th. hill, look low. th. vailey Is not deep. Th. country which stretches away around you la too Immense.

Thla 1. a land of great dl.tance. It faaclnate. you. Finally It depresses you. What can man do with such a land a land which has never changed which means never to change?

Away a. far aa th. ey. can ... stretches th. thin grassland. Th. landscape holds nothing to attract save It. apaoa, but the sunshine Is something England never knows, the air 1. like a draught of cham pagne, th. marvelous clearness and fresh neas whU-h no other land can equal gives new Ufa. No breeze yet swirls the dust across th. plain. All th. world Is still, a. though lest In silent worship of th. loveliness of th. moment A few s'.eepy Kaftlrs, wrapped close in blanket, which display a rainbow of color, gaz. with languid eye. at the panting mon ster. Th. white man and hi. way. are familiar today in the heart of the dark continent. Yet there are men living who remember th. time whan the coast tribes believed that whit, men were a production of the aea, which they traversed In large shells, their food being the tusk, of ele phants, which they would take from th. beach If laid there for them, placing beads In their stead, which they obtained from the bottom of the sea. History 'has been mad. quickly In South Africa. A shrill whistle and on again into space. All day yu clatter forward a little un certainly at times. There are mysterious wayside halts In the wilderness when you sem to hav. run out of the world and been sidetracked far from th. haunt, of men; there ar. waiting, at tiny aiding, from which not a habitation 1. visible and where th. only poaslble traffic appear, to be a wild buck or an occasional stray bul lock. Th. land 1. empty. Th. (warm, of natives you expected to see are absent; the country looks deserted. Space only space. Now ar.d then there glides Into the picture a town with a name known to history, th. site of a siege, the field of a battle. The Impression It leave. Is sim ply one of InstgnlMcsnce. No ordinary town could look Imposing upon such a plain. Veldt Always Sana. All day the train toll, onward, growing weary at time. a. though disheartened at th. mile, which will stretch ahead. A few herds of goats or cattle; a shy figure In th distance, which makes you think of the harried buahmen or th. wild Vaal pen.; now and then a hivelike kraal away under the aliade of some trees. But no in cident, no break never was there such monotony. Yet you can not conjure up a different picture. Even In Imagination you can not transform th. veldt. It was thus when tho first white men pushed for ward from the shelter of the coast settle ments Into the unknown. It is thus today. It will be thus In a decade perhaps In a century. Sunset Is as wonderful as the dawn. The still, cloudlen sky darken, rapidly aa the sun sinks below th. rim of th. plain. A solitary kopje become, purple, then black. a fitting haunt for some robber chief, the terror of whose name has desolated the countryside. The Inst glorious glow which no painter would reproduce dlia away and a chill breeze sighs through the dry grass. The train puffs wearily on In the blackness of th. night; ever forward, with ths searchlight befor the funnel. Ilk. a hug. ey. .weeping th. land to find a human being. In the middle of the night there happen, a curious thing. Th. country become, peo pled. There I. a grinding atop. A few lla-ht. flicker, hoars, voice, shout unintel ligible orders, there arises a banging and a clattering sufficient to wake the Seven Sleepers. What happens how It happens why It happens no man knows. It Is an eccentricity of a Bouth African railway. The livelong day slips by with a ailen-e which almost forces one to shout to break the stillness, but at night these mysterious noises arts. Men emerge from nowhere and talk loudly of nothing besides th. waiting train; fig ures with hammers teat upon the wheels or hold consultation. In stentorian tone, over grease boxes, a popular song la roared under th. window, of sleepers; .van a whole troop train of t.rrlbly wlde-awak. soldiers has been met on a particularly dark night.

He had been sent to de liver some curtains for a second-hand denier, but the porch looked too Inviting when he was feeling so sleepy. The case was continued until Monday morning. Several years ago Lewis stole a coil of lead pipe, which was so heavy that h. waited until an officer came along and had the officer help bim steal th. lead by put ting It into hi. wagon.
