RIDER HAGGARD, AUTHOR OF "SuE," "KING SoLo03oN's MIXES," "1!3Ss," "CLEo PATRA," ETC. A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE. CHAPTER L T MAY be remem bered that in the :a:t pages of his darv, w: i ten just before his death, Allan Quatermain makes allusion to 1 his long-dead wife, stating that he has ] written of her fully elsewhere. When his death was known his pa pers were handed to myself as his literary executor. Among them I found two manuscripts, of which the following Is one. The other is simply a record of events in which Mr. Quatermain was not personally concerned-a Zulu novel, the story of which was told to him by the hero many years after the tragedy 1 had occurred. But with this we have nothing to do at present. I have often thought (Mr. Quater main's manuscript begins) that I would I set down on paper the events connected with my marriage and the loss of my most dear wife. Many years have now I pas4ed since that event, and to some ex tent time has softened the old grief. though Heaven knows it is still keen enough. On two or three occasions I have even begun the record. Once I gave it up because the writing of it de pressed me beyond bearing, once be cause I was suddenly called away upon a journey, and the third time because a Kaffir boy found my manuscript con venient for lighting the kitchen fire. But now that I am at leisure here in England I will make a fourth attempt. If I succeed, the story may serve to in terest some one in after years when I am dead and gone. It is a wild tale enough, and suggests some curious re flections. I am the son of a missionary. My father was originally curate in charge of a small parish in Oxfordshire. lie had already been some years married to my dear mother when he went there, and he had four children, of whom I was the oungest. I remember faintly the place there we lived. It was an ancient long gray house, facing the road. There was a very large tree of some sort in the gar den. It was hollow, and we children used to play about inside of it and knock knots of wood from the rough bark. We all slept in a kind of attic, and my mother always came up and kissed us when we were in bed. I used to wake up and see her bending over me, a candle in her hand. There was a curious kind of pole projecting from the wall over my bed. Once I was dreadfully frightened be cause my eldest brother made me hang to it by my hands. This is all I remem ber about our old ho.me. It has been pulled down long ago, or I would jour ney there to see it. A little further down the road was a large house with big iron gates to it, and on the top of the .gate pillars set two stone lions, which were so hideous that ~oue %y peeping through the bars of the gates. It was a gloomy-looking place, with a tall yew hedge around it; but in the summer-time some flowers grew round the sun-dial in the grass plat. This house was called the Hall, and Squire Carson lived there. One: Christmas-it must have been the Christ mas before my father emigrated, or I should not remember it-we children went to a Christmas tree at the Hall. There was a great party there, and foot den wearing red waistcoats stood at the1 door. In the dining-room, which was paneled with black oak, was the Christ-1 mas free. Squire Carson stood in front of it. He was a tall, dark man, very quiet in his manners, and he wore a bunch of seals on his waistcoat. We used to think him old, but as a matteri of fact he was then not more than forty. 1 Re had been, as I afterward learned, a C~ "LOOK, COUSIN, LOOK AT THAT!" great traveler in his South. hut some six or seven years before this date had mar ried a lady who was half a Spaniard-a Papist, my father c alled her. I can re member her well. She was small and very pretty, 'with a r oinded figure, large lack eyes and g'.ttering teeth. Shea spoke English w..h a curious accent. I suppose that I must have been a funny I child to look at, and I know that my hair stood up on my head then as it d does now, for I still have a sketch of my- t self that my mother made of me, in which this peculiarity isstrongly marked. E On this occasion of the Christmas tree I e remember that Mrs. Carson turned to a C tall, foreign-looking gentleman who x stood beside her, and, tapping him af- f fectionately on the shoulder with her- I gold eye-glasses, said: "Look, cousin--look at that droll lit- f te boy with the big brown eyes; bis c hair is like a-what you call him?- a scrubbing bush. Oh, what a droll little Te tall gentleman pulled at his inns- I Burial Cases and Caskets. TIE UNDERSIGNED has a full ie of the latest designs in E BURIAL CASES AND CASKETS, t moderate prices.

Car.on's hand in is, began to smooth my hair down with t till I heard her whisper: "Leave my hand go, cousin. Thomas a looking like-like the thunder torm." Thomas was the name of Mr. Carson, ier husband. After that I hid myself :s well as I ould behind a chair, for I vwas shy, and vatched little Stella Carson, who was he squire's only child, giving the chil tren presents off the tree. She was ressed as Father Christmas, with some oft white stuff round her lovely little ace, and nad large dark eyes, which I ;hought more beautiful than any thing had ever seen. At last it came my urn to have a present-oddly enough, onsidered in the light of future events, t was a large monkey' She reached it own from one of the lower boughs of he tree and handed it to me, saying: "Dat is my Christmas present to you, ttle Allan Quatermain." As she did so her sleeve, which was I overed with cotton wool, spangled over with something that shone, touched one )f the tapers--how I do not know-and :aught fire, and the flame ran up her urm towards her throat. She stood uite still. I suppose that she was >aralyzed with fear; and the ladies who vere near screamed very loud, but did iothing. Then some impulse seized me-perhaps instinct would be a better word to use, considering my age-I ;hrew myself upon the child, and, beat ng at the fire with ray hands, mercifully ucceeded in extinguishing it before it *eally got hold. My wrists were so badly >urned that they had to be wrapped up .n wool for a long time afterwards, but vith the exception of a single burn upon ier throat, little Stella Carson was not nuch hurt. This is all that I remember about the bristmas tree at the Hal. What hap yened afterwards is lost to me, but to his day in my sleep I cften see little stella's sweet face and the start of ter 'or in her dark eyes as the fire ran up ier arm. This, however, is not wonder ul, for I had, humanly speaking, saved :he life of her who was destined to be ny wife. The next event which I can recall learly is that my mother and three >rothers all fell ill of fever, owing, as [ afterwards learned, to the poisoning of >ur well by some evil-minded person, who threw a dead sheep into it. It must have been while they were ill ,hat Squire Carson came one day to the icarage. The weather was still cold, or there was a fire in the study, and I at before the fire writing letters on a iece of paper with a pencil, while my ather walked up and down the room alking to himself. Afterwards I knew hat he was praying for the lives of his wife and children. Presently a servant ame to the door and said that some one wanted to see him. "It is the Squire, sir," said the maid, "and he says he particularly wishes to see you." "Very well," answered my father, wearily, and presently Squire Carson ~ame in. His face was white and hag ard, and his ges shone so fiercely that [ was afraid of him. "Forgive me for intruding on you at uch a time, Quatermain," he said in L hoarse voice, "but to-morrow I leave ;his place forever, and I wish to speak to you before I go-indeed, I must speak to "Shall I send Allan away?" said my Eather, pointing to me. "No, let him bide. e will not under but I remembered every word, and in fter years their meaning grew on me. "First tell me," he went on, "how are ~hey?" and he pointed upwards with his ~humb. "My wife and two of the boys are be pond hope," my father answered, with a roan. "1 do not know how it will go writh the third. The Lord's will be lone!" "The Lord's will be done," the Squire choed, solemnly. "And now, Quater nain, listen-my wife's gone." "Gone!" my father answered. "Who with?" "With that foreign cousin of hers. It leems from a letter she left that she al rays cared for him, not for me. She narried me because the thought me a 'ich English milord. Now she has run bhrough my property, or most of it, and rone. I don't know where. Luckily, he did not care to encumber her new areer with a child; Stella is left to me." "That is what comes of niarrying a, ?apist, Carson," said my father. That vas his fault; he was as good and char table a man as ever lived, but he was igoted. "What are you going to do ollow her?" He laughed bitterly in answer. "Follow her!" he said; "why should I ollow her? If 1 met her I migh t kill er or him, or both of tnem, because of he shame they have brought upon my hild's name. No, I never want to look tpon her face again. I trusted her, I ell you, and she has betrayed me. Let er go an4 find her fate. But I am go ng, too. I ani weary of my life." "Surely, Carson, surely," said m~y ather, "you do not mean" "No, no: not that. Death comes soon nough. But I will le ave this civilized~ world that is a living lie. We will go ight away into the wilds. my child and L. d hide our shame. Where? I don'tknow here. Any where so long as the're are o white faces, no smooth, educated ongus." "You are mad, Carson." my father swered. "flow will vou live? How fill you educate Stella? Be a man and ive it down." "I will be a man, and I will live it .own, but not here, Quatermnain. Educa ion! Was not she-that woman who ras my wife-was not she highly ducated?-the cleverest woman in the ountry, forsooth. Too clever for me, uatermain-too clever by half. No, 0; Stella shall be brought up in a dif Brent school; if it be possible, she shall arget her very name. Good-bye, old riend, good-bye for ever. Do not try to nd me out; henceforth I shall be like ne dead to you, to you and all 1 knew," nd he was gone. "Mad," said my father, with a heavy igh. "His trouble has turned his rain. But he will think better of it." DENTI STRY i. J. Q UATTIL EBA Ugl, D DS. V[ ' CS3J M2, S. C. NOTICE. URVEYING DONE AN~hSOLICIT ) ed by EGRrA EtEGARenI'RgA, .

My mother was dying! It was some days af terwardis. I do not know exactly how long, that my father took me by the hand and led me up stairs into the ig room that had been my mother's bedrcom. There she lay dead in her coflin, with flowers in her hand. Along the wall of the room were arranged three little white beds, and on each o.f the beds la. one of my brothers. They all looked as though they were asleep, and they all had flowers in their hands. My father told me to kiss them all, because I should not s-e- tham any more, and I did so, though I was very frightened. I did not know why. Then he took me in his arms and kissed me. "The Lord hath given," he said, "and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name 9f the Lord." I cried very much, and he took me down-stairs, and after that I have only a confused memnnory of men dressed in black carrying heavy burdens towards the gray churchyard! Next comes a vision of a great ship and wide, tossing wators. My father could no Iongcr bear to live in England after the loss that had fallen on him, and made up :ais mind to emigrate to South Africa. We must have been poor at the time, indeed. I believe that a large portion of our income went from my father on my mother's death. At any rate we traveled with the steerage passengers, and the intense discomfort of the journey. with the rough ways of our fellow em:-rants,, still remains upon r ,Z SO I TOOK MY RIFL. AND ROSE TO GO. my mind. At last it came to an end, and we reached Africa, which I was not to leave again for many, many years. In those days civilization had not made any great progress in Southern Africa. My father went up the country and be came a missionary among the Kaffirs, near to where the town of Cradock now stands, and here I grew to manhood. There were a few Boer farmers in the neighborhood, and gradually a little set tlement of whites gathered around our mission station. A drunken Scoteh blacksmith and vwheelwrigt was abd.a the most interesting character, wvho, when he was s'ober, could quote the Scottish poet Uurns and the "12 goldsby Legends" litcraliy by the page. It was from him that I contracted a fondness for the latter amusing writ ings which has never left me. Burns I never cared for so much, probably be cause of the Scottish dialect which re pelled me. What little education I got much leaning toward books, nor he much time to teach them to me. On the other hand, I was always a keen ob server of the ways of men and nature. By the time I was twenty I could speak Dutch and three or four Kaffir dialects perfectly, and I doubt if there was any body in South Africa who understood native ways of thought and action more completely than I did. Also I was really a very good shot and horseman, and Ithink- as, indeed, my subsequent career proves to have been the case-a great deal tougher than the majority of men. Though I was then, as now, a light, small man, nothing seemed to tire me. 1 could bear any amount of exposure and privation. and I never met the native who was my master in feats of endurance. Of course all that is dif ferent now; I am speaking of my early manhood. It may be wondered that I did not run absolutely wild in surh surroundings, but I was held back from this by my fa ther's society. IHe was one of the gentlest and most refined men that I ever met; even the most savage Kaffir loved him, and his influence was a very good one for me. He uged to call him self one of the world's failures. Would that there were mnore such failures! Every evening when his work was done he would take bis prayer-book, and, sit ting on the little stoop of our station, would rend the evening psalms to him self. Sometimes there was not light enough for this, but it made no dif ference; he knew thuem all by heart. When he had finished he would look out across the cultivated~ lands where the mission K~a!Ers had their huts. But I knew it was not these he saw, but rather the genay Engl ish church, and the gravy's ranged side hy side before the yew near the wic'ket p':W. It was there on the stoop that he died. He had not b. n w.'ll. and one evening I was talking to him and his mind went back to Oxfor1 thire :sul my mother. ie spoke of her a g7.i deal. saying that she had never ''.n.ut f his m ind for A singlG diay uring ::.11 these years. and that he rejoi"'d t,. think he was draw ing vear th'at l and whiher she had gone.
