Henry N. Stanley, the African exnlorer
and his wife. arrived at New York on the
steamer Tentonie last Thursday and sub.
mitted to an interview as to the much dis.
puted cause Of the death of Lieut.. Bartte.
I lot, who bad charge Of the rear guard of
the late expedition through Africa. The
/ part cf the interview referring to the kill
ing is as follows
What did you hear about Barttelot's
death ?"
Il have heard that be had been shot on
July ~ BE was simply shot; not cut or
mutiiated. | did not see him, as | did not
arrive at the camp until August 18th, %
days aflerward"
What was the cause or causes of his
being killed r.
The causes We're his violent temper and
constant inclination to quarrel. He had
been away from the camp of the rear guard
Tor sometime. At the time Of the killing
he had just returned from Stanley camp
and his presence seemed to destroy the
harmony that had prevailed during his
absence
"0n the 18th Of July Barttelot beat one
of the Zanzibar chiefs and disturbed the
camp generally. Bonny went to him and
said he would manage the camp as long
as he had been ia charge of it,
"On the morning of July 10Th, Just at
dawn, Barttelot was disturbed from his
sleep BY the beating of drum and by
some one singing. He sent Soudanese
sergeant to find out what the noise was
ana to stop it. Tie sergeant returned and
reported that lie could not find out what it
was. Barttelot then sent his little black
boy to see VINO was disturbing him. The
boy returned and said 1T is a woman
singing and some men drumming an ac-
compartment this being the way the ma
tiyes celebrate the breaking Of day in some
parts of the dark continent Barttelot
thereupon jumps up and says be will stop
the noise and shoot the first one who does
lot obey him.
With revolver in one hand aud a
pointed stout wood staff in the other, he
started toward the woman who was sing
ing. He commanded her to stop. She
Kept on drumming, only looking up at him
IL defiant manner, knowing that every
body in the cauip dislikes him. Again
8artellor tells her To stop and gives her
prod with his sharp stick. Then he begins
TO punch her and kick her While this is
geing on, tho lvomans 5 husbans is in bis
hat only five or six yards away, cleaning
mis- gun. He hears his wife scream, and
looking out Of the loophole in the hut lie
sees Barttelot with his pistol in one hand
and stick ia The other beating the woman.
He as chief Of the tribe and thinks as
iduch of his wife as We do Of ours In an
instant be thrusts his gun through the
lnophole Of the hut and shoots Barttelot
dead.
"The whole thing was done in spirit of
anger There was Bo premeditstion. He
did just as as you or | would have done
under the circumstances. | did not rely
on the written statement of Mr.. Bonny for
all this. heard the same from the Arabs,
the Zannbaris and other men-over 500 of
them altegether-and they certainly had
no object in telling the story different
from what it was after their enemy was
dead -

CHAPTER VIII.

The next day Cardelli looked for the
most deplorable effect when his daughter
should hear the story of this converse
ton. which he greatly softened, espe-
cially so far as his own words were con-
cerned. But what was his surprise to
find Teresa absolutely calm!
Without anger, she learned the story
and ate; then, when the meal was fin
ished, the young woman went to her
room and sent for the servant.
She left her room at 8 o'clock that
evening with her hat upon her head and
dressed in her finest toilet-that which
she wore on festival occasions.
Then she called Raffaela.
The servant came Immediately, ready
to go out-that is, with gold pins in her
hair and her best shawl over her shout

of a woman in the evening in company
with a Servant-Teresa said with firm
ness that admitted no reply:
Papa and mamma, do not push the
bolts: may return at a very late hour"
They did not finch.
At first they were astOunded; was not

Soon they might be obliged to live

what to expect.

But Teresa placed a bundle in the
servants hands; only her aunt saw it,
and she said nothing about il. not wish
ing to worry the others or bring down
upon herself the blame of her niece.
But the poor old maid was very anxious
and greatly bewildered.
Ten minutes after Teresa's departure,
she bethought herself that it might be
the young wOman's intentions to fly with
her husband. That would cap the eli
max!
Monteforte was in the Cafe d'Europe

bearing a little note. The directions
were very precise, for he applied directly
to him.
"Excellcncy, note"
"All right" said the Young man, start
ing to put it in his pocket.
"EXcellrnCy, it is to be read at once"
\ smile went around; most of those
present knew the jealousy of his wife,
and others knew also that he had left
the house. But they raised no question;
family life in Naples is very private
affair.
MoutefOrte read:
"Orlando, dear husband of mine, l
would like to say few words to you.
Will YOU come out a moment: After
that YOU can rcjoin your friends.
Your TERESA"
He went out.
At the door his wife was waiting for
him; he found no one with her except
the servant. His brows, already knit,
relaXcd he had feared the Intervention
of the family, which would not have
mcndcd matters-quite the contrary.
Teresa trcmblcd. She was obliged to
support herself in his arms, for her legs
refused to ,u,rai9 her, She now asked
herself what dp,pprate resolution she
would have arrived at if her husband
had not been there.
But he was beside her. and in gentle
voice h.asl,rd:
"What do you wish of me, Teresa"
In a gentle voice? Oh, YES. certainly.
But this voice was calm; while she. his
Door lirrL. wife. could not articuIate a
word.
''Srr, ~,e, Recover yourself, my Teresa;
dear little ore, recover Yourself Did
YOU wish to SAY something to me-"
"Oh. YES. dear husband Of mine" said
she, encouraged. MANY things, so many
things. In the first place, | wanted to see
YOU. YOU know: it is such a long time;
five days, husband Of mine; five days."
YES" said he, serenclv. And YOU
are well, my little Teresa: How beauti-
full YOU are! This red bow on YOUR hat is
very becoming to YOU"
"Oh! You can imagine! to come to see
you She explained, with a smile half
Joyous and half moistened with tears of
emotion, You can well imagine that I
put on what suits me best"
They walked slowly beside each other,
and then went up little street.
His wife pressed close against him, SO
happy to find him again and to admire
him. Never had she known this emo
ton; it was a new and perfumed breeze
upon her love.
