HE MAY BE POET LAUREATE.
Career of Alfred Austin, who Aspires to
Succeed Alfred Tennyson.

Alfred Austin is good Tory poet and
this fact, it is reported, has won for him
place made vacant by far greater Alfred
Alfred Lord Tennyson. 1t is n far cry
from Austin to Tennyson, but England
must have IA poet laureate and Austin,
who is more of u courtier than poet, it is
said, will in future supply the necessary
mctrical taffy when anything happens to
the royal family. Austin is in his sixty
first year and was born at Headingley,
near Leeds, May 30, 1885. His parents
were Roman Catholics and he was educat-
ed at Stoneyhurst and ST. Mary's colleges.
He took his degree at the University Of
London in S53 and four years later was
called to- the bar of the Inner Temple.
The law did not pay and Austin turned
his attention to writing poetry, n proceed
ing that would seem to most people like
jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Austin, however, has made poetry pay.
He has used it as a stepping stone to Il

MISS MARY KINGSLEY. the worlds
knowledge of the vast continent She is q
young woman of gentle birth and excel
lent breeding, but when she goes explor-
ing she docs not think that it is at all nee
cssary to fortily herself with chapcron.
She is now planning to climb over the
Generously mountains, which have an
altitude of II, 355 feet, and she proposes to
make the hazardous journey unattended
by a single white man She will depend
entirely upon native carriers and guides
and expects to perform her difficult feat
quickly and successfully
She first applied to the German author
titles at Camcroons for carriers to aid her
in her undertaking, but her request was
refused for the very excellent reason that
no carriers could be procured who were
willing to make the journey. Miss Kings
ley was undlsmayed, however, and the
governor at Victoria has agreed to provide
her with all tho men she desires She en-
joys the best of health, has plenty Of
strength, pluck and courage, and there
seems good reason to believe that she may
carry out her ambitious design.
Miss Kingsley has long been an ardent
student of botany and zoology and is said
to be exceedingly well informed concern
ing both subjects. In her quest for further
knowledge she has often penetrated regions
hitherto unvisitcd by Europeans and
speaks very cntortainingly of her numer-
Gus exciting adventures among strange
people and savage beasts. She has already
spent about two years in African cxplora-
tion, and her botanical and geological col
lections are said 20 be of considerable sci
entific value. Besides being niece of the
late Canon Kingsley Miss Kingsley is a
cousin of the well known English novelist,
Lucas Malet.

told me that am beautiful? Other men
have told me If the wOnGrous beauty Of
my eyes and l"aiscd the rich glory of my
hair, but you, my husband, have never
told me that am beautiful" And with
fresh realization of her selfish vanity he
had drawn her 60 him and told her that it
was not her physical beauty that had won
his love- but her beauty of character.
How strong and beautiful that character
had seemed the first time he saw hcr, as
she stood in he crowded church holding
the vast audience spellbound with her
magnetic voice How it had thrilled him,
touching and awakening hidden chords in
his being as no other voice had ever had
power to do. How empty and lonely she
had made his life to seem, and how deeply
he had long"d for her friendship and love.
The first months of their married life
had seemed the fuliillmcnt of all his dear
est dreams but slowly and reluctantly he
had awakened To the knowledge that her
strength and beauty of character existed
only in his Imagination, in his ideal of
perfect womanhood At first the shame
and disappointment seemed greater than
he could bear. But he was strong and
would make her feel the transforming
power of his purpose, and step by step he
would win her from her false and narrow
life to see the reality and satisfying power
of his. But now that his cup of life was

save by the low signing of the wind in

ness of that hour was born the purpose to
return to the spot made sacred to him by
hallowcd memories and there to launch
his soul into eternity. He was so worn
and tired eternity might give him rest.
All through the quiet night and early

the old spot and there to end it ali.
With the familiar scenes had returned
the memories of the past. He drew forth
her letter, written months ago, in which
she confessed her guilt. Slowly he read it,
repeating aloud the words which had
burned themselves into his heart: "Can
