RIDER HAGGARD'S HERO
The Original Allan Quatersaain
Lives In South Africa.
HIS NAME IS FREDERICK sELAUs.
The Eovelist's Account of Him Not Exag-
gerxted, but He Never Had II Vife-An-
other South African Fighter-Couvcia
the Terrible and IIis Trig!,tful Fate.

What reader Of Rider Haggard's works
has not learned to know and love old Allan
Quaterrlain, the hero of so many of the
novels that g decade ago took the literary
world by storm and won for themselves an
impregnnble place IN the popular faycr!
Who that followed him through the vicis-
STUDIES and triunphs Of the numerous
stories in which he figured could refrain
from a sigh as lie laid down the book after
reading the last chapter Of the story bear
ing the old here's name for u title, realizing
that the author had done with him for
ever? 1t was like losing dear old friend,
and one parted from Kim with great regret.
But, though Haggaril found it advisable
for literary reasons to kill lis hero off, it
will be pleasing for many OF his friends to
learn that the original of the character is
still alive i'll South Africa, and that he is
just such man as the novelist has depicted
and has had almost as many and danger
GUS encounters and narrow escapes. His
name is Frederick Courtenay Selaus and
he is an Englishman by birth, having gone
to South Africa in 1871, when only 10
years old. Mr. Selaus has never been
married and is still very much alive. I'm
til recently he practically lived far in
the interior, where white men had never
been. Hardly year went by without his
exploring some unknown territory and re-
turning laden with trophies Of the chase
and bringing carefully drawn sketch maps
of the country explored. Twice he has been
granted awards by the Royal Geographical
society for the excellent work done by him
in that line.
When Mr.. Haggard was in South Africa
dozen years ago, he was q great friend Of
Selaus. He lived with him, campcd with
him, hunted with him. and when he wrote
his novels lie put his friend in them as
their hero. His description OF Quatcrmain
is merely photograph of Se,aus with a few

Rhinebeck, N. Y, is a fine old Dutch

have taken up the notion that the vicinity
