Mrs. Aver to the Front.

There is always in Paris one American
woman whose salons are sort of rallying
point and whose name is perennially on
every tongue. A few years ago it was Mrs.
Mackay who held this peculiar position.
Now it is Mrs. J. G. Aver. Be it observed
that it is not necessary that the woman thus
en- evidence in the colony be either hand
some. brilliant or young. Nor are her social
antecedents matters of great moment. 1t is
only needful that she be rich, not as the
ordinary, but as the extraordinary Amer
lean. Mrs. Aver has this plutocratic ad-
vantage. She has recently hired the superb
hotel of the Duchess de Monchy, and is pre-
pairing to give a number of fetes after
Easter.
Already her pearls, her wigs and her
kindly nature are familiar beyond the out
posts of the 5000 American residents.

Why is it impossible for you or for me? We
are slipping from mere liking into friend
ship, and for all know we may some day
fall headlong from friendship into love. 1t
would be very foolish. no doubt, but it
seems to me quite possible. Do you not see
it?"
The Wanderer laughed lightly. It was
years since he had laughed, until this friend
ship had begun.
"What can I say7" he asked. "Tf you,
the woman, acknowledge yourself vulner-
able, how can l, the man. be so discourteous
as to assure you that I am proof? And
yet, I feel that there is no danger for either
of u.s.
"You are still sure?"
"And if there were, what harm would be
done?" he laughed again. "We have no
plighted word to break, and I, at least, am
singularly heart free. The world would not
come to an untimely end if we loved each

CHAPTER XI.

SIT is safe to do that" answered the
Wanderer, with smile. "unless you can
find at least one rea'on far stronger than
those you give. Y.png and passably good
looking men are not rare, and as for men of
genius who have led interesting lives, many
thousands have been pointed out to me.
Then why, by any conceivable chance,
should your choice fall on me?"
perhaps, because am so fond of you
already" said Unorna, looking away, lest
her eyes should betray what was SO far be-
yond fondness. ''They say that the most en-
during passions are either born in a single
instant, or are the result of treaeherously
increasing liking. Take the latter case.

the territory claimed by both Lobenguls, the
Matabele King, and Khama, the Bamang-
wato CHIEF, both of whom are well-known
characters in South Africa.
Perhaps it would be impossible to find
two native Kings in all Africa SO wholly un-
like in every way. Were it not that both
are rulers of native tribes there would be
nothing whatever by which one could COM
pare the two men. 1t is, therefore, far more
easy to contrast. Let US begin with Khama.
His country lies just south of the twenty
second parallel of south latitude and east of
Damaraland. The other boundaries are not
well defined. Khama is Christian King,
and rules his people according to Christian
methods. He is not Christian in name
only, but in fact, and is very severe with
anyone, white or black, who violates his
laws. He allows
No Liquor of ANY Kind
to be brought into his country, and anyone
detected in selling the same is at once driven
from his territory. Khama is very friendly
to white men and is glad to nave them live
IN his country, providing they obey his laws.
his tavorite method of dealing with those
who violate the Law is to Danish them from
his country. Knams is quite as strict With

ing to say about it
''To me it would not" said Unorna, look
ing down at her clasped hands "But to
you-what would the world say, if it learned
that you were in love with Unorna, that you
were married to the Wltch?"
1.-THE world? What is the world to me,
or what am to it?s What is my world? If
it is anything, it consists of q score of men
and women who chance to be spending their
allotted time on earth in that corner of the
globe in which I was born, who saw me
grow to manhood, and who most incons E.
quently arrogate to themselves the privilege
OF criticising my actions, as they criticIse
each others, who say loudly that this is
right and that is wrong, and who will be
gathered in due time to their insignificant
fathers with their own insignifcance thick
upon them, as is meet and just. II that is
the world, I am not afraid of its judgment,
in the very improbable case ofmy falling in
love with you,"
Unorna shook her head. There was
momentary relief in discussing the conse-
auences OF love not yet born in him.
THAT would not be all, " she said. "You
have country. you have home, you have
obligations-yOu have all those things
which have not"
"Aud not one of those which you have"
She glanced at him again, for there was
truth in the words, which hurt her. Love,
at least was hers in abundance, and he had
it not.
''How foolish it is to talk like thisp she
exclaimed. "After all, when people love
they care very little what the world says. If
1 loved any one"-she tried to laugh care
lessly-"I am sure should be Indifferent
TO everything or everyone else"
81 am sure you would be, assented the
Wanderer.
"Why?" She turned rather suddenly
upon him. "Why are you sure?"
''In the first place because you say 20,
and secondly because you have the kind of
nature which is above common opinion"
''And what kind of nature may that be2'
Enthusiastic, passionate, brave"
Have SO many good qualities?"
"I am always telling you So"
"Does it give you pleasure to tell me what
you think OF me7"
Does it pain you to bear it?" asked the
Wanderer, somewhat surprised at the uncer-
tainty of her temper, and involuntarily
curious as to the cause of the disturbance.
Sometimes it does" Unorna answered.
II suppose have grown awkward and
tactless in my lonely life. You must for

But since have annoyed you am sorry
for it. Perhaps you do not like such speeches
because you think am fattering you and
turning compliments. You are wrong If
you think that. am sincerely attached Ia
you, and I admire you very much. May I
not say as much as that?"
"Does it do any good to say it?"
IF I may speak of you at all, may ex-
press myself with pleasant truths"
Truths are not always pleasant. Better
not to speak of me at any time"
Gas you will" answered the Wsnderer,
bending his head as though in submission to
her commands. But he did not continue the
conversation, and long silence ensued.
He wondered what was passing in her
mind, and his reflections led to no very
definite result. Even if the idea Of her
loving him had presented itself to his intslli.

tubes and offered to the traveller for few
beads or small amount of cloth. Some OF
the writers upon Mashonaland said they
had even seen large nuggets of gold. AT
any rate several hundred men went into
Mashonaland "The Garden of Eden of
South Africa" as it has been called, with
the expectation of finding wealth without
much exertion.
South of the high plateau above men,
toned the land is very fertile, as proved by
the quantity of rice, corn and potatoes
which the natives raise. There are many
mountain ranges and hills in very directloh
and it is between these, in the valleys, that
the rich soil is to be found. The country is
we'll watered by large and small streams OF
perfectly clear water. Just before we
emerged from the bushy country good indi-
cations of the presence of gold were seen by
the prospectors, but of course no opportunity
was offered for an investigation.
Awonderful Agricultural Country.
These remarks apply to the country south
of the. twentieth parallel. The country
north of this latitude is somewhat different.
1t is much more open, and is for the most
part very fertile. In this part are thousands
Of acres of rich and well-watered grass lands,
together with as much of what certainly
seems to be as fertile soil as is to be found
anywhere. Men who have travelled from
the East to the West OF the United States
say that this soil is as rich and as suitable
for agricultural purposes as any in the
United States. Without doubt the glowing
reports of the value OF Masbonaland in these
respects have not been exaggerated. And
yet nearly all Of these miles and miles of
lands are uninhabited, and so uncultivated.
There are few small native villages stu
ated here and there among some of the scat
tering hills, but they use only few acres OF
ground close by their villages.
It Is somewhat early in the occupation of
Mashonaland to speak at all fully of its
mineral wealth, but that there is gold here
no one that has travelled in Northern
Mashonaland can deny. Yet the reports
hitherto published do not give the exact
facts For instance, the alluvial gold fields
are here but the fields best known have been
quite thoroughly worked, both by natives
and by some other unknown people. Yet
there is considerable alluvial gold and there
is not much difficulty in finding it Per-
haps alluvIal fields at present unknown
will be found which may be rich enough to
pay. Undoubtedly certain travellers who
have given such glowing reports of the al
luvial gold fields have done so through
mistake.

THE GENERAL AND JUDGE

Were it not for the prominence of the
persons involved, the Boston court trouble
would hardly be worthy of comment, but a:
one Of them has national reputation, both
as lawyer and soldier, few words seem
necessary. Judging from the story pub
lished in another column, both the General
and the Judge are in the wrong. The
former presumes entirely too much on his
acknowledged reputation, while the latter
mistakes stubbornDess for frmness and
hauteur for judicial dignity. The affair is
a disgrace to both.
1t is hard to determine which should bear
the create: blame. The Judge might, with.
out compromising the true dignity of his
position, have remembered that the General
is now an old man, and, always peppery, is
even less able to control his temper than
when he was younger. The General might
have remembered the courtesy due Judge,
and guided himself accordingly. In either
case, there was display of chIldishness in
compatible with the positions of the dis
putants.
As an example for young lawyers the
affair does not show up well, but there is a
hope that the most immature disciple of
Blackstone knows what is due his profession
and himself better then does either the
General or the Judge.

THE CAUSE OF REVOLT.

The statement of Rev. w. j. Cleveland,
at a meeting in New York, with regard to
the cause of the Sioux outbreak, gives ad-
ditional weight to what was fully estab-
lished before. The trouble was clearly
caused by the destitution inflicted on them
by the incompetent if not corrup: manage
ment of Indian affairs. The political
methods which have heretofore held sway
in Indian affairs resulted in cutting down
the ration to one-third its original volume,
and then causing further shrinkage by
buying cattle in the fall and taking such
poor care of them that they fell OFF in
weight thirty to forty per cent. That such
practices should result in driving lot of
savages into revolt is not singular. If this
great nation cannot make its agents fulfill
its obligations on the basis of common
honesty the blame for far more costly out
breaks must res. on our politics, and not
on the ignorant savages who are driven
into revolt by starvation.
