The window frames and shutters are painted the same shade of green that you may see any day at a Dutch farmhouse in the I'aarl district of the Cape Colony. In front runs a veranda, and there is a slightly raised, "soop." There is also some pretense at a flower garden, hut it is sadly neglected The garden is inclosed by a black wooden paHng. and still further in front is a Jittle more cultivated land, with bananas and a few other trees. Tlie scene is simplic- ity itself, hut' for the bell tent in the tight-hand front corner of the garden, and the .steady tramp of khaki-clad sentries,, cast, west, north, and south. 'Jn the stoep and beneath the veranda, for the best part of the day, sits General Cronie. dark ' of visatre. somewhat long-beardel,. and with hair turning gray.
