THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NEW YORK CITY.


A Fantasy of South Africa.


By J. F. X. O'Connor.


It was after the battle of Tugela River, maid General Joubert, when, fatigue and exhausted by the tension of the last few months. I went to the house of an Eng- lish lady, the Duchess of B -- , who bad breu a personal friend ever since her res- idence in the Transvaal Feeling per- lectly secure under the circumstances, I was accompanied by a single aid, who yolnuteered to rou ull risks to secure for me the necessary quiet.


The first night and day passed quietly, with news that they were still watching, when on the evening of the second day. about 9 o'clock, the voices aud tread of a dozen men were heard, on the porch. Presently the door opened, the duchess entered, and, to my astonishment, intro- duced Sir Redvers Buller, commander of the British forces. Both of us were as- tounded, started instinctively, stared, but bowed courteously to each other. The duchess had warned neither, but relied on the instincts of manbood for an ac- ceptance of the situation. We gazed fixedly one at the other, und each rightly knew he was facing a foe worthy of in- tense effort and of the keenest strategy. After a few moments' panse Buller stretched forth his hand and said: "Sir, we are placed in a strange situation; I cannot forget the courtesy due our host- ess, but from the moment we part, though we have met as guests of the same respected lady, hostilities are de- clared." He turned and left the room. Here was a predicament. I was in the house alone with my aid. Here was a man bound to defend the honor of Eng- land too much of a soldier to seize me under the circumstances or to fire with- ont giving warning. I was as sure a shot as he, if to! a quicker. A duel of swords or pistols would have troubled me hu+ slightly. To steal away, although ten against two, was not, to my mind, at all inviting. I- resolved to wait and be on the alert. All was silence in the house- darkness outside of my room. There was a creaking sound on the floor ahove. Glancing at the window, 1 discerned, it seemed, a form just sinking into shadow from the path of light that streamed from the window. In an instant 1 ex- tinguished the light aud felt the world grow larger in the darkness. I had fixed in my mind three plaus of action-first, to boldly attack the party; second, to mount to the upper floor to be above the enemy; third, to wait outside of the house for a sign of attack.


I gave them all up and decided to wait In the room.


The hours drew on-11 sounded. 12 and then 1, which seemed to prolong its sol- itury sound for several minutes, and then all was still-a silence deeper than be- fore.


At half past 2 1 heard a rustling in the hallway and then a knock at the door. ''The voice of the duchess was heard. She was standing outside with her maid. "General.". she said, "make Four escape at once. If in one hour from now you are here, General Buller sends message by me that he will consid- er that you have surrendered or take you by force.' '


"Mudnm." I replied, "if I intended to escape by tlight I should not be here now. No entreaties can move Die from my re- Solve."


"General," she said. "I heg of you to retiert. I have done all in my power; your fate is now in your own hands;" und then. in a tone of unfeigned terror, stminping her fout. "Pray, do go!" She then withdrew, and I waited in - anxious expectation of the outcome. called quietly to my uid, kennt there was no answer. After nearly an hour had passed, during which many thoughts and plans rushed through my mind in rapid sueression, I opened the door cantiously. Not an object was visible, yor a sound to be heard save the sick of the swinging pendnlunt, which seemed to say, "Quick. nick!""


I walked about in the darkness of the vestibule, when the voice of Buller sounded from the staircase: "Ready, Jon- bert! I am going to fire!"


We pulled the triggers at the same in-


ine omidas struck in midair, one faitz. on the Moor, the other glancing to the right of the room and smashing through 3 window.


Iminediately several pistols flashed from the landing above, and I fred again. A groan came from Buller. He was wounded in the font, and of the seven of eight balls that whizzed close to me one entered my shoulder. 1 fell to the ground for an instant, then, rising, drew back into my room, barricading the door with an oaken table.


The lights were up in the house, and another volley rained against my harri- cade. t returned the fire, making a hole through the door with a shot and placing the pistol an inch or two from the open-
