fess that, both in this instance and in
some others that have met with, this
has not been my experience. L have
known men, and especially uncivilized
men, who were as jealous Of the afeo-
ton of their friend or master as any low
or could be of that of his mistress; and
who has not seen cases of the same thing
where parents and their children were
concerned? But the lower one gets in
the scale OF humanity the more readily
this passion thrives; indeed, it may be
said to come to its intensest perfection
in brutes. Women are more jealous than
men, small-hearted men are more jeal-
GUS than those of larger mind and wider
sympathy, and animals are the most
Jealous of all. Now, Hendrika was in
some ways not farremoved from animal,
which may perhaps account for the feroc-
ity of her jealousy of her mistress af-
lection.

CHAPTER TX.

It is very difficult for me to describe
the period which elapsed between my
arrival &C Babyan's Peak and my mar
rage with Stella. When l look back on
it it seems sweet as with the odor of
flowers and dim as with the happy dusk
of summer ewes, while through the
sweetness comes the sound Of Stella's
voice and through the gloom shines the
starlight of her eyes. l think that we
loved each other from the first, though
for awhile we said TO word OF love. Day
by day l went about the place with her,
accompanied by little Tota and Hen
drika only, while she attended to the
thousand and one matters which her ia
ther's ever-growing weakness had laid
upon her; or, rather, as time drew on, 1
attended to the business and she &C
companied nee. I'll day through we
were together. Then after supper, when
the night had fallen, we would walk to-
gether in the garden and come in at
length to hear her father read aloud,

sometimes from the works of a poet,
sometimes from history, or, If he did
not feel we'll, Stella would read, and
when this was done Mr.. Carson would
celebrate a short form of prayer, and
we would separate till the morning
once more brought our happy hour of
meeting.
So the weeks went by, and with every
week grew to know my darling better.
Often, wonder now, if my fond fancy
deceives me, or if indeed there are
women as sweet and dear as she. Was
it solitude that had given such depth
and gentleness to her? Was it the long
years of communing with nature that
had endowed her with such peculiar
grace, the grace we find in opening
flowers and budding trees? Had she
caught that murmuring voice from the
sound of the streams that fall contin-
uRlly about her rocky home? Was it
the tenderness of the evening sky be-
meath which she loved to walk that lay
like shadow on her face, and the light
of the evening stars that shone in her
quiet eyes? At the least to me she was
the realization of the dream which
haunts the sleep of Sustained men; so
my memory paints her, so 1 hope 10 find
her when at last the sleep has rolled
away and the feyered dreams aredone.
At last there came a day-the most
blessed Of my life. when We told our
love. We had been together all the

the kraals had condescended to borrow
the shape of native huts for their model.
Theonly relic of those builders that 1
ever saw was highly-fnished bronze
pick-axe which Stella found one day in
the quarry. After we had examined the
quarry we climbed the slope of the hill
till we came to the mouth Of the ancient
mines situated in kind, of gorge. I be-
lieVe them to have been silver mines.
The gorge was long and narrow, and the
moment we entered it there rose from
every side a sound of groaning and bark

one. knew what it was at once; the
whole place was filled with balloons,
which clambered down the rocks to-

so. That is to say, that they began to
make noise such as balloons do when
they converse with each other. I have
known Hottentots and Bushmen who
said that they could talk with the ba-
boons and understand their language,
but confess 1 never heard it done be-
fore or since.
From the mouth of Hendrika came a
succession of grunts, groans, squeaks,
clicks and every other abominable noise
that can be conceived. To my mind the
whole conveyed an idea of expostula-
ton. At any rate the balloons listened.
One of them grunted back some answer,
and then the whole mob drew off to the
rocks.
