I HAVE SPOKEN". It was a week after N yleptha's visit, when I Had begun to get about a little in the middle of the day, that a message came to me from Sir Henry to say that Sorais would be brought" before them in the queen's first antechamber -at mi<*^ay, and requested my attendance if possible. Accordingly greatly drawn by curiosity to see this unhappy wo? man once more, 1 made shift, with the help of that kind little fellow Alphonse, who is a perfect treasure to me, and that of another waiting man. to reach the antechamber 1 got there indeed, before anybody else, excepl a few of tho great court officials who nae been bidden to be present, but 1 had scarcely seated myself before Sorais was brought ir, by a pam- of guards, looking as beautifuJ and defiant as ever, but with a worn ex pression on her proud face. She was, as usual, dressed in her royal kat emblazoned with the emblem of the Sun. and m her righi hand she still held the toy spear of silver A pang of admiration and pity went througt m*? as I looked at her and struggling to my feet I bowed deeply at the same time ex pressing my sorrow that I was not able owing to my condition, to remain standing before her. She colored a little and then laughed bit terly "Thou dost forget, Macumazahn,4 she said, i4I am no more a queen, save in blood I am an outcast and a prisoner, one whom a'! mea should scorn, and none show deference to " . "At least," I replied, "thou art still a lady and therefore one to whom deference is due. Also thou art iii an evil case, and therefore il is doubly due." "Ah?" she answered, with a little laugh, "thou dost forget that 1 would have wrapped thee in a sheet cf gold and hung thee to the ange l's trumpet at the topmost pinnacle of the tem pie.' "?o," I answered. "I assure thee I forgot it not; indeed I often thought of it when it seemed to me that the battle of the Poss was turning against us. but the tnimpet is there, and I am still here, though perchance not for long, so why talk of it nowT "Ah!" she went on, "the battle; the battle) Oh, would that I were once more a queen; if wily for one little hour, and I would take such a vengeance on those accursed jackals whe deserted me in my need, that it should only be spoken of in whispers, those women, those pigeon hearted half breeds who suffered them? selves to be overcome:" and she choked in her wrath. "Ay, and that little coward beside thee,'1 she went on. pointing at Alphonse with the silver spear, whereat h? looked very uncomforta? ble, "he eses ped and betrayed my plans. I tried to make a general of him, telling the soldiers it was Bougwan, and to scourge valor into him" (he.-e Alphonse shivered at some unhappy recollection), "bat it was of no avail. Ke hid beneath a banner io my tent and thu3 Dverlieard all my plans. I would that I had slain Lim, hui, alas: I held my hand. And thor:, 3iacumaz.ihn, I have heard cf what Lhou didst; thou art a brave man and hast a loyal heart. And the black One. too; ah, he ivas a marc I fain would have seen Lim hurl Kasta from the stairway." '.Thou art a strange woman, Sorais." I said "I pray thee now plead with the Qaeen Nyieptha, that perchance she may show mercy unto thee." She laughed out loud. "I plead for mercy T' ?he said, and at that moment the queen en? tered, accompanied by Sir Henry and Good, md took her seat with an impassive face. As [or poor Good, he looked intensely ill at ease. "Greeting, Sorais:" said Nyieptha, after a ;hort pause. "Thou hast rent the kingdon: ? [ike a rag, thou bast put thousands of my people to the sword, tho-.: hast twice basely plotted to destroy my life by murder, thou cast sworn to slay my lord and his compan? ions and to hurl me from the stairway. Wbat hast thou to say why thou shouldst net die i Speak, O Sorais !" "Methinks my sister, tho queen, hath for? gotten the chief count of the indictment," answered Sorais, in her slow musical tones. "It runs thus. 'Thou didst strive lo win the love of my lord Incubu.' It is for this crime ;hat my sister will slay me, not because I levied war. It is perhaps happy for thee, Diyleptha, that I fixed my mind upon his love x>o late. "Listen," she went on, raising her voico, "I lave naught to say save that I would I had , ?von instead of lost. Do thou with me even , is thou wilt, O queen, and let my lord the aug th?re" (pointing to Sir Henry), "for now ?rill ht- bi king, carry out the sentence, as it s meet he should, for as he is the beginning >f the evil, let him also be tue end;" and she irew herself up and shot one angry glance at nm from her deep fringed ejes, and then be ;an to toy with her spear. Sir Henry bent toward Nyieptha and whis- ? wed something that I could not catch, and j :hen the queen spoke. ? "Sorais, ever have I been a good sister to ? ,hce. V?'hen our father died, and there was ( iiuc'u talk in the land as to whether thou ? ?ho?ldst sit upon the throne with me, I being j ;he elder, I gave my voice for thee and said, j i Nay. let her sic. She is twin with me; we ] vere bom at a birth ; wherefore should the one | Xi preferred before the other? And so has it ? ?vcr been 'twixt thee and me, my sister. But ( low thcu knowest in what sort thou hast re- j >aid nie. but I have prevailed, and thy. life < s forfeit, Sorais. And yet art thou my sis- 1 ;er, boru at a birth with me, and we piayed ; iOgetiier when we were little and loved each jther much, asid at night we sieptin the sam? ] ;ol with our arms each around the other's :eck, and therefore evsu nov/ docs my heart ; jo out to thee, Serais. : "But not for that would I spare- thy life, < 'or thy c?Tcnsc hrs been too heavy; it doth ? ?rag do ..vu the wide wings of my mercy even < o the ground.

Sornis Sashed up to her eyes and said notb- i r.g. and I do not think that I eyer saw a man ook inore miserable than ?iii Sir Henry a: .hat moment. Somehow Nylepthas way of ratting the thing, though true and forcible enough, was not altogether pleasant. "I understood," stammered Cartis, looking j it Good-"I understood that you were at- ] ached-eb-attached to-to til? Queen t?o- j .ais. I am-eh-not aware what the-in j hort, th?i state of your feelings may be just j ] ?ow; but if they happen to be that way in- < :ihied, it has struck mo that-in short, n . night pdt a satisfactory end to an unpleasant , rosiness. The lady also has ampi? private ? .states, where 1 am sure she would be at lib .rty to liv? unmolested so far as we are cou x-r.'i'-d, eh, Nyieptha; Of course I only sug 3 -est." ; -So far as I am concerned," said Good; col? lingu:>,""I'am. quitovviiiiug to forget thc ? ?as: : and if the Lady of thc Night thinks m 1 .yortb having 1 xviii marry her to-morrow, v. . vhetishe likes, and try to make Lex a govi lusbcnd." * AU eyes.were now turned to Sorais, whe j c food with that sumo slow smile upon her j ( leautifui face that I had noticed thc Grs! j 1 isne that I ever saw her. She paused a little j * vhile and cleared her throat, mid then thrice j 1 .be courtesied low, once to Nyieptha, once ? 1 _'urt:s and once to Good, and bvgau to spca1, j t h measured tones. I 1 "I thank thee, most gracious queen and j * ister, for the loving kindness thou hast c ?bown me from my youth up, and esix-cialij i a that thou has been pleased lo grve n j "j i ?erson and my fate J?S a gift to the Lord j ( ncubu-the king that is to bo.

Surely tl act is worthy of thy greatness, my Lo; Incubu. And now, lastly 1 thank thee als my Lord Bougwan. who in thy turn ha deigned to accept me and my poor l>eauty, thank thee a thousand times, and I will ar that thou art a good and honest man, and put my hand upon my heart and swear tb; I would that I could say thee.'yea.' Ar now that I have rendered thanks to all : turn"-and again she smiled-'T will add 01 short word "Little can ye understand of me, Nylepti and my lords, if ye know not that for n there is no middle path that I scorn your pit and hate ye for it that I cast off your to giveness as though it were a serpent's stinj and that standing here, betrayed, deserte* insulted and alone, I yet triumph over y mock ye and defy ye, one and all, and thus answer ye;" and then of a sudden, befoi anybody guessed what she intended to do, si drov.e the little silver spear she carried in k< hand into ber side with such a strong an steady aim that the keen point projecte through her back, and she fell prone upon th pavement. Nyleptha shrieked, and poor Good alma fainted at the sight, while the rest of t rushed toward her. But Sorais of the Nigt lifted herself upon ber hand andforamomer fixed her glorious eyes intently on Curti face, as though there were some message i the glance, then dropped her head andsighei and with a sob her dark yet splendid spir: passed. Well, they gave her a royal funeral, an there was an end of her. ****** It was a month after the last act of the Sc rais tragedy that there was a great ceremon; in the Flower Temple, and Curtis was foi mally declared king consort of Zu-Vendis, was too ill to go myself, and, indeed, I hat all that sort of thing; with the crowds an the trumpet blowing and banner waving; bu Good, who was there (in his full dress uni form), came back much impressed, and toll me that Nyleptha had looked lovely, and Cur tis had borne himself in a right royal fashion and had been received with acclamations tba left no doubt as to bis popularity Also h told me that when the horse Daylight was le< along in the procession, the populace ha< shouted " Macumnzahn, Macumazahn !" til they wore hoarse, and wouM only be appease< when he, Good, rose in his chariot and tol( them that I was too ill to be present Afterwards, too, Sir Henry, or rather th king, came to see me, looking very tired, anc vowing that he had never been so bored ii bis life; but I dare say that that was a sligh exaggeration. It is not in human nature tba a mau should be altogether bored on such ai extraordinary occasion; and, indeed, as '. pointed out to kim, it was a marvelous thine that a man who but little more than one >hori year before had entered a great countrj- as UT unknown wanderer should today be marriec to its beautiful and beloved queen, and lif iee amid public rejoicings to its throne, and j even went the length to-exbort him in the fu ture not to be carried away by the pride anc pomp of absolute power, but always to striv? to remember that he was iirst a Cbristiai: gentleman, and next a public servant, callee by Providence to a great and almost unpre? cedented trust. These remarks, which he might fairly have resented, lie was so good ai to receive with patience, and even to thank me for making them. It was immediately after this ceremony that I caused myself to be moved to the house where I am now writing. It is a very pleas? ant country seat, situated about two miles from the Frowning City, onto which it looks. That was five months ago, during the whole of which time 1 have, being confined to a kind of cough, employed my leisure ia compiling this history of our wanderings from my journal aud our joint memories. It is probable that it will never be read, but it does not much matter whether it is or not, at any rate, it lias served to while away many hours of suffering, for I have suiTered a deal of pain lately. Thank God, however, there will not be much more of it. ****** It is a week since I wrote the above, and now I take up my pen for the last time, for I know that the end is at hand. My brain is still clear and I can manage to write, though with difficulty. The pani in my lung, which has been very bad during the last week, lias suddenly quite left me and been succeeded by a feeling of numbness of which I cannot mistake the meaning. And so this is tho end of it-a brief space of troubling, a few restless, fevered, anguish? ed years, and then the arms of that great angel death if any times have I been near to them, many and many a comrade have they embraced even afr my sido, and now it ts my turn at last, and it is well. Twenty four hours more and the world will be gone from me, and with it all its hopes and all its fears. Well, it is not a good world-nobody can say that it is save those who willfully blind themselves to facts. How can a world be good in which money is the moving power and self interest the guiding scar? The won? der is not that it is so bad, but that there should be any good left in it. Still, now that my lifa is over, I am glad to have lived, glad to nave known the dear breath of woman's love, and that- true friend? ship that can even surpass the love of womau; glad to have heard the laughter of little children, to have seen the sun and tho moon and the stars, to have felt the kiss of the salt sea on my face, and watch tho wild game trek down to the water in the moonlight. But I should not wish to live again! Everything is changing to me. The dark? ness draws near, and the light departs. And vet it sX'ins to me that through the darkness [ can already see thc shining welcome of many a long lost face. Harry is there, and Dtkers; one above all, to my mimi the sweet? est and most perfect woman that ever glad? dened this gray earth. But of her I have ilrcady written e?sewbeiv, and at length, so j why speak of her now.' Why speak of ber if ter this long silence, now that thc is again ? ;o near to me? The sinking sun is turning the golden roof .")f the great temple to a fiery flame, und my fingers tir So to ali who have known me, or who cnn j think one kindly thought of the old hunter, J ? stretch out my hand from the far o?r shore j md bid a long farewell. And now into the hands of Almighty God ?vho sent it, do I commit my spirit. "I have spoken," as the Zulus say. CHAPTER XXIV. ?? AXOTUEIl HAND. A year has elapsed since our most dear j friend Allan Quat?rmniu wrot e the words "J j lave spoken' nt the end of. his lveord of om j id ven tu rcs. Mor should I ba vc venturo I to \ make any additions to that record ha l it n-.t ; aappened that hy a n:..si strang?} ned ?-n? chance has arisen,of ?LsV??-ing conve\v?I t?, ? England. The chance is bnt.alfamt. one, it is 1 rue, but as it is r.<)t probable that another i .rill arise in our lifetimes, Good and myself ? bink that we may as well avail ourselves of j r. sue'1, a* it is. During the last six months ! several frontier commissions have been at j ,vork < ?:: the various boundaries of Zu-Yendis, .viii: a view of discovering whether there j ;xi-is i~?ssib?o moons vt ingress or ogress : rom lite country, with the result that a .hr:n::* l of cor.uuunivai.Ion with the outer ; vi/rld hitherto ov rlooked luis been disco? i TC--'.. This channel, apparently the only one : for I have discovered that it was hy it that , ?ie native who ultimately reached Mr Mac- j ?..?zie's mission station, and whoso arrival in ! he country, together with the fact of Iiis ex | ?ulsion. for he did arrive about; three years ?fore ourselves, was for reasons of their own ! teni a dead secret by the priests to whom he ? v;is brought), i> about to be effectually ; iosed. Bat before this i? done a messenger ' s to be dispatched bearing with him this nauuseript, and also ono or two letters from ?O..-.1 Lo his' friends, and from myself to my ?rolher George, wlum it deeply grieves mo to think I shall never see again, informing them, as our next heirs, that they are wel? come to our c-i?ects in England, if the court of probare will allow them to take thom, in? asmuch as we have made up our minds never to return to Europe. Indeed it would be im? possible for ns to leave Zu-Vendis even if we wished to flo so. The messenger who is to go, and I wish him joy of his journey;Ts Alphonse. For a long while he has been wearied to death of Zu Vendis and its inhabitants. Oh, oui, c'est beau," bc says, with an expressive shrug; "mais je m'ennuie; ce n'est pa chic." Poor Alphonso 1 wc shall be very SOJTV to part with him ; but I sincerely trust, for his own sake and also for the sake of this history, which is, I think, worth giving to the world, that he may arrive in safety. If he does, and can carry the treasure we have provided him with in the shape of bars of solid gold, he will be, comparatively speaking, a rich man for life, anil well able to marry his Annette, if she Ls still in the land of the living and will? ing to marry her Alphonse. Anyhow, on the chance, I may as well add a word or two to dear old Quartermaine nar? rative. Ke died at dawn on the day following that on which he wrote the last words cn the last chapter. ??yleptba, Good and myself were present, and a most touching and yet in its way beautiful scene it was. An hour before the daybreak it became apparent to TIS that he was sinking, and our distress was very keen. Indeed, Good melted into tears at the idea-a fact that called forth the last gentle flicker of humor from our flying friend, for even at that "hour he could be humorous. Good's emotion had, by loosening the muscles, naturally caused his eye glass to fall from its accustomed place, and Quatermain, who al? ways observed everything, observed this also. "Atlast/' be gasped, with an attempt at a smile, "I have seen Good without his eye? glass." After that he said no more till the day broke, when he asked to be lifted up to watch the rising of the sun for the last time. "In a very few minutes," he said, after gazing earnestly at it, T shall pass through those golden gates." Ten minutes afterward he raised himself and looked us fixedly in the face. "lam going a stranger journey than any we have taken together. Think of me some? times," he murmured. "God bless you all. I shall wait for you together," and with a sigh he fell back dead. And so passed away a character that I con? sider went as near perfection as any it has ever been my lot to encounter. Tender, constant, humorous, and possessing many of tho qualities that go to make a poet, he was yet almost unrivaled as a man of action and a citizen of the world. I never knew any one so competent to form an accu? rate judgment of men and their motives. "I have studied human nature all my life," he would say, "and I ought to know something about it," and he -certainly did. He had but two faults-one was bis excessive modesty, and the other a slight tendency which he had to be jealous of anybody on whom he con? centrated his affections. Good read the burial service over him in the presence of jSyleptha and myself, and then his remains were, in deference to the popular clamor, accorded a great public funeral, or rather cremation. I could not < heip thinking, however, as I marched in that < long and splendid procession up to the tem- ^ pie, how he would have hated the whole thing could he have been there to see it. for he had a horror of ostentation. And so, a few minutes before sunset, on the third night after his death, they laid him on the brazen flooring before the altar, and I , waited for the last ray of the setting sun to fall upon his face. Present?}' it came, and struck him like a golden arrow, crowning the j pale brows with glory, and then the trum- c pets blew, and the flooring revolved, and all ' that remained of our beloved friend fell into J the furnace below. . ( We shall never see his like again if we live , a hundred vears. He was the ablest man, the ? i truest gentleman- the firmest friend, the finest . sportsman, and, I believe?, the best shot in ali 1 Africa t And so ended the very remarkable and ad- ( venturous life of Hunter Quatermain. * * s s * a Since then things have gone very well with k us. Good hns been, and still is. busily em- > ployed in the construction of a navy on Lake J Miiosis and another of the large lakes, by ^ means of which we hope to be able to increase . trade and commerce, and also to overcome ' some very troublesome and warlike sections 1 of the population who live upon their borders. } Poor feilow! he is beginning to get over the j sad death of that misguided but most attrac? tive woman Som ii. but it is a s::d blow td" him, for he was really deeply attached to her. * 1 hope, however, that he will in time make a \ suitable marriage, and get that unhappy bus- \ iness out of his head. ??yl?ptha has one ox two young ladies in view, especially a daugh? ter of Pasta's (who was a widower), a very flue imperial looking girl, but with too much of her father's intriguing., and yet haughty, spirit to suit my taste. As for myself, I should scarce!}' know where to begin if I set to work to describe my doings, so I had best leave them un? deserved and content myself with saying that, on the whole, I am getting on very ( well in roy curious position of king consort- .> better, indeed, than 1 bed any right to ex- J peet. But. of course, it is not all plain sail- I ing. and I find the responsibilities very heavy. ( Still I hope to be able to do some good in my ( time, and I intend to devote myself to two ( great ends, namely, to thc consolidation of tho various clans which together make up . the Zu-Vendi people under one strong cen- 1 tra! government, and to the sapping of the ? power of the priesthood. The first of these j reforms will, if it cnn l?e carried out. put an end to the disastrous civil wars that have for * centuries devastated this country; and tho 2 second, besides removing a source of political * danger, will pave the road for the intro- t ductloa of true religion in thc place of this f .senseless Sun worship. I yet hope to see the shadow cf the cress of Christ lying on tho golden dome of the Flouer temple; or, if I ! do not, that my successors may.

Speaking for myself, I have read it with very mixed feelings, for though it is a great relief I to know that he and Good are alive and j strangely prosperous, I cannot but feel that for me and for all their friends they might | as well bo dt adT since we can never hope to ! see them more. They have cut themselves off from" cid j England and from their homes and their re- j lations forever, and perhaps, under the cir? cumstances, they were right and wise to do so. How the MS. came feo be posted I have been quite unable to discover; but 1 presume, from the fact of its being posted at all, that the little Frenchman. Alphonse, accomplished his hazardous journey in safety. I have, how? ever, advertised for him and. caused vario?s inquiries to be made in Marseilles and else? where with a view of discovering his where? abouts, but so far without the slightest suc? cess. Possibly he is dead and the packet was posted by another hand, or possibly he is now happily wedded to his Annette but still fears the vengeance of the law and pr?f?re to re? main incognito. *I cannot sa}'. I have not yet abandoned my hopes of finding him, but I am bound to say that they grow fainter day by day, and one great obstacle to my search is that nowhere in the whole history does Mr. Quaterraain mention bis surname. He is al? ways spoken of as "Alphonse," and t here are so many Alphouses! Thc letters which my brother Henry says he is sending with the packet of manuscript have never arrived; so I presume that they are lost or destroyed. GEORGE CURTIS. THE 3X?.
