I nerved myself and began talking with
young woman who sat near the door.

I apologized and she snickered. l

Mr.. Gladstone's post bag in the days
of his greatest popularity used to con-
tain the most homogeneous medley Of
important and frivolous letters ever
brought together in the correspondence
of a single man. Women wrote to him
great deal, and when he was in office
there was seldom a day passed in
which he did not receive at least one
letter from unfortunate girls telling
pitiful stories and appealing to him for
assistance. Letters of abuse, threaten
ing letters. fierce objurgations and in
sane proposals were as thick as black
berries. During the hight of the jingo
fever it was no pleasant task to go
through the letters which the votarles
OF war used to send to Harley street.
Sometimes a dozen ruffians would sit
down and write post cards to Mrs.
Gladstone expressing in foulest Ian
guage the most revolving wishes for
her destruction. That Mrs Gladstone
and her daughters might be subjected
to the last extremity of outrage at the
hands of Bulgarians and Cossacks was
SO common a form of communication
that the letters and post cards at last
ceased to excite even surprise. The
roughs who broke the windows of his
house in Harley street had comrades
who substituted post cards for brick
bats. ITO Mr.. Gladstone, Russian
Agent" was the favorite form of ad-
dress.

Mr.. Gladstone never appeared to
greater advantage than when taking a
walk in the country with a congenial
friend whose physical powers were
equal to the task Of keeping up with a
pedestrian whom no distance could tire.
It was not until he was well advanced
in life that he took, partly as an amuse-
ment and partly for exercise, to the
practice of telling trees. In this diff
cult art he attained a skill which was
the marvel of professional woodmen,
and of which the muscles of his arms,
wiry and spare like the rest of his body,
gave little promise.
In his youth he often spoke of himself
as being good upon any day for forty
mile walk, and although he never ac-
complished the feat performed more
than once by his second son, the Rev.
Stephen Gladstone, rector of Hawar-
den. of walking up from Oxford to Lon
don in day, 1t was from no deficiency
of pedestrian endurance. No ordinary
frame was, indeed, requisite to carry
Mr.. Gladstone through the superhuman
labors which he imposed upon himself.
Gladstone, remarked Sir James Ora
ham, in 1852, "ean accomplish in four
hours what it takes me sixteen to do,
and he works for sixteen hours every
day"

effect with which he was wont 70 render
faVorite Scotch song, and irreverent
gossips even declared that on enc occa-
sion Mr.. Gladstone brought down the
drawing-room by the vivacity and roll
licking spirit with which he rendered
the well-known "Camptown Races, F."
with its familiar refrain:
Gwine to ride all night
Gwine to ride all day;
bet my money on the bObtailed nag,
Somebody bet on the bay.
His high spirits broke out at every
moment, and he used to rejoice to play
comedy part on his own or his sons
lawn. 1t would be incorrect to say that
on the occasion of popular celebrations
or local fancy fairs and cottage. garden
ing shows Mr.. Gladstone played down
to the level of his audiences On the
contrary, he exhibited just sufficient
sympathy to raise them to enthusiasm,
and no more.

Within week OF our leaving the is.

yious chapter, We bad brought the Ma.

Here it was arranged / should leave the

sci of this line, so we had discovered,
called Mt Proholingo about the end of
each month, and for this reason our ar
rival WAS timed for the afternoon of the
day OF her departure.
shortly before o'clock wo brought
up at the anchorage about mile from
the shore. IL was lovely afternoon.
and l could see that the steamer which
was to carry me ON was already prepar-
ing for her departure. The boat was
alongside, my traps were safely slowed
III her, and nothing remained but to bid
Allie goodby. AS soon as this was ac-
ccmplished went down the gangway,
took my seat in tho stern. and we push
ed Off. Ten minutes later l was on
board the steamer Van Tromp. had paid
my passage money, secured my berth
and was waiting to see what the next
item OF the programme would he.
From the deck of the Dutch vessel, as
she swept by US under full SAIL her
course set for Batavia, the Lone Star
looked as pretty craft MS any man
could wish to see. noticed, however,
that during the three months she had
been i'll her own harbor her color and
indeed her whole appearance had been
entirely changed. When first / had
made her acquaintance, she was white
as the driven snow; now she was Pc
culiar shade Of red. Her bows seemed
bluffer than when l had seen her last.
Indeed from the present shape and con-
struction Of her masts and gear it would
have been extremely difficult to tell her
for the same vessel.
AT O'Clock and in the eye of n glori-
Gus sunset we got up our pressure and
steamed out to sea. OF that voyage there
is little to tell. The Van Tromp was a
clumsy old tub of an almost obsolete
pattern, and by the time we reached
Tanjong Prick, as the seaport of Bata-
via is called, l had had about enough
of her.
Once there, / repacked my bag and
stepped on to the wharf, resolved to
take the first train to the city. Arriving
there, | drove direct to the hotel whose
name Allie had given me and booked my
