After Pretoria, What?

With the steady advance of Lord Roberts toward Pretorla the conviction KTOWS In the public m nd. whatever of regret or satisfaction it may occasion. that the end of the struggling Boer re. pohlles 1> not far distant. The Orange Free State Is already under the con trol of the British, and it seems that the Transvaal must soon fall before Roberts' advancing and vastiy sıthe- rior force. It Is uot unlikely that the Transvoal burgherx will make a last herole stand at the capital of their ap- parently doomed republic, ond no doubt many of them will dle In the last ditch rather than surrender thelr dearly bought ilbertles. Possibly there will be a long slege at Pretoria, but It is difficult to see how the Poers can ultimately escape either ntter anni- hllation or unconditional surrender.

Sooner or later, as now seems cer- tain, Pretoria must fall, and after Pre- toria's fall what then? What shall be the future of the two states whose an- tonomy will end with the firing of the last gon? Great Britain will unques- tionably Insist upon exercising sover- elgnty over them In some form, but how liberal will be the political condi- tions accorded the fallen for remains to be seen. The British colonial system embraces a wide range. There are these three distinct classes of colonial governments:

First,-Crown colonies, in which the crown bas entire control of legislation and the administra. tion is conducted by officers under the control ol the home government, such as Gibraltar, Ceylon and Jamaica

Second .- Colonies with representative Institu- tions, but not responsible government, the crown retaining a velo on legistation and control over public officers, such as Natal, West Australia and Barbados

Third .- Colonies with representative institu tions and responsible government, the crown Ir taining a veto over tegislation, but no control over public officers, such as Canada, Newfound- land, Cape Colony and Australia.

In which class the Boer states, when the work of subjugation is completed. will fall under the British system Is open to question. If they are placed in the latter class and the hurghers are given the widest possible Independence under British suzerainty. It would doubtless allay much of the apprehen- sion in Europe as to the Imperial pro- gramme of the London government, and possibly, under such conditions, when the bitterness and resentments engendered by war have passed away, the burghers might live contentediy as subjects of Queen Victoria. Possibly some of them may endeavor to trek farther Into the remote Interior of the "dark continent," as did their fathers. and there establish homes and an lude. Dendent government. It Is Intimated that somne nf them will migrate to this country, where they can become citl- zens of a republle, cujoring the privl- leges of that form of government for the maintenance of which they have fought so strenuously.

The editor of The Leader, published at Larcbwood. Ia., who has just en- tered the matrimonial state, Is of the opinion that a married man can get out a better paper than a bachelor. In taking his reuders intn his confidence on the eve of his marriage he tells them that It will be for their benefit. "To the writer." he says. "the assum- ing of the marriage vows seems to be an Incentive to greater ambition, for greater deeds and nobler achievements, foroishing the noblest purpose for Iv- ing and wurl jug ond a better and more fixed purpose in lite."

Hence he de clares. "We believe that the step we have taken will bepetit not only our- selves, but our patrons and our friends as well, fur If we have before had ront- son to take pride In onr chusen work those reasons are now multiplieil tri- fold." It will be interesting to u te whether this bellef on the part of the editor is justified. Other country edl- tors who are contemplating matrimony will do well tu get coples of the Larch- wood Leader "before and after taking" a wife and watch Its course.

I went down hy the mail train aad fouml awaiting me on the platform t'harlie Sefton, who looked so very quiet and so astonishingly happy that I felt a port of tugging sensation in the thront. Extreme happiness is always alriuing. Miss George, to whom i was duly pre- sented, was not in the first flush of her yunth. She was a girl of perhaps 27 nad gond looking,

She was traveling in India with friends who, it strnek me, were not on a very iu- timate fonting. They were all staying at n hotel from which the wedding was to be unabtrusively celebrated. The couple had only been engaged a week. It is the only case of love at first sight-sincere, permanent, convincing- which I have eu- countered.

My simple daties were duly performed. Charlie Sefton and Eleanor George Were declared to be man and wife. I saw the ceremony, I heard The declaration, 1 appendled to the eutry in the register my name, which looks more at home on a death certificate. I was deadly sober, as folks are at weddings.

"She is giving up a lot of money to marry me," said Sefton after the core- niony, when he and I happened to be alone for a few miaules.

"Amil yon are giving up a career." I re- flected, mindful of many young men mar-

But there are some marriages which strikr one at once as inevitabile. The only question is why the people concerned have not met soouer. This union was of such a description.

The bride and bridegroom went away from the church with that distressingly happy look which makes one feel na- comfortable. They were to sail for home the next day.

1 journeved slowly hack to Delhi by a stopping night train, after seeing the last of their hont from the outer pier. As I stepped out of the carriage ia the carly morning and aoted the milst rising from the Jumna two quartermasters of the Peninsular and Oriental stenmer Rit- mana tipped np a plank and precipitated the dead body of Charlie Sefton into the silvery waters of the Arabian sea. He died one day ont from Bombay-of chol- era. The thing left a shadow over is which lasted all that hot weather.

In dite time we forgot Charlie Sefton. The surest proof of the existence of a mereifn! God is surely the facility with which we are permitted to forget. Yenrs afterward the whole story was suddenly recalled to que at a garden party in a quiet country village aenr Beccles, in Suffolk. I was taken to this entertain- ment-chiefly remarkable for the aumber of vlercy present-ns the friend of one of the guests. The house was a long, low building of, I was informed. the Queen Anne period. The host was a genial old chatterbox of an admiral who concerned Himself with his own affairs iu his retire- ment nad refrained from writing to the newspapers, which pastime is a special weakness of superannunted admirals, He was immensely prond of his home and seized on me, the only stranger present, to observe its beautics. From the lawn I followed the direction indicated by his shaky finger. but tastend of notiag the carving of a gable committed the indis- cretion of looking into an open window on the first floor.

Then the tragedy of Charlie Setton came back to my mind, for I saw the wo- man who bad married bim pinning on her hat before a glass. She did not see me. 1 was still with my host when we met Mrs. Sefton face to face.

"Ah," said the old gentleman with gen- nine delight, "here is my aiece"

Going forward, I held out my hand. "Ilon ilo you ilo. Mrs. Sefton ?" Sue looked at me quickly, without a glimmer of the eyelids.

"Y'on are mistaken." she said. "I am Miss George."

There was the evidence of the robust health he has so long enjoyed. Twenty years ago his physician advised Tolstoi to avoid too much muscular ex- ercise, hnt the patient was obstinate and did exactly the contrary.

We spoke for a few minutes on indif- ferent topics,

"Yes," I added. "I know India."
