We had heard many tales Of my patha";
never q word Of my uncle till two days before
we left. As the time approached for our de-
parture Tembinok' became greatly changed {:
a softer. more melancholy. and in particular
q more confidential man appeared in his
stead. To my wife he continued laboriously
to explain that though he knew he must leave
his father In the course Of nature. he had not
minded nor realized 1t till the moment came.
and that now he was to lose us. he repeated
the experience We showed fireworks one
evening on the terrace. 1t was heavy BUSH
ness: the sense Of separation was in all our
minds, and the talk lanQuished. The King was
specially affected. sat disconsolate on his mat
and often sighed. OF q sudden one OF the
wives stepped forth from o cluster. came and
kissed him in silence. and silently went
again. 1t was Just such caress as We might
give to q disconsolate child. and the King re-
ceived It with child's simplicity. Presently
we said goodnight and withdrew: but
Tembinok' detained Mr. Strong. patting the
mat by his side and saying: sit down.
