Not so, senior; why should la pobre

"And you will sell me your own

even more generous than l hoped"
II nothing said of selling them,
senior. Can you not me allow the pleas

"But, senorita! where do the cap

She looked so cool and pretty, in the
shade under the awning, that took
her little hand in mine and bent over
it for moment. Then l hurried to the
upper deck with my bundle, and told
Dick he had better take my place be-
fore she went below. He relished the
suggestion so much that / had con-
siderable difficulty in first getting him
into white duck suit; being a power
fully built fellow, white and gold were
exceedingly becoming to Halstead
After he left, stretched myself in
one of the hammocks we had slung
'thwartships, and felt rather jealous
for a few moments. There is a charm
about the Spanish temperament which
exerts a strong fascination over men
of colder nationalities; and the Senor-
ita Palacios, without necessarily be-
ing over-fond of either Halstead or
myself, had a frank and cousinly
friendliness of manner that banished
all suggestion of ceremoniousness at
the outset and led us into saying
things which one usually says 10 ac-
quaintances of many years standing
only. There is also a popularity of
tropic life at sea which has often i'm
pressed me. Wether it is the result
of forced inaction, or the relaxing in
fiuence of the climate, is immaterial;
but under such conditions the formal
ity which custom has made inviolate
in temperate countries is simply out of
the question-as much so as tight or
cumbersome clothing.
Ny day with the senorita had been

studied at the Berlin academy, under
Profs. Thumann and Hildebrandt, inn
mediately securing recognition as a
clever portrait painter. But portrait
work was too tame for the ambitious
young fellow, who passed all of his
leisure hours in the Berlin geological
gardens, where he observed the habits
and movements of domesticated as well
as wild animals. In the course of a
few months he surprised his instructors
and the art editors of the great German
illustrated journals by submitting to
them a series of sketches of lions and
tigers. These drawing were eagerly
purchased by enterprising publishers
and reproduced in German, Austrian,
English and French periodicals. From
absolute obscurity Kuhnert rose at
once into celebrity, his name being as
sociated with those of the greatest
animal painters of the present genera
tion.
Instead of having his head turned by
such words of commentator the young
artist concluded to undertake a journey
to East Africa for the sole purpose of

had refused to furnish the day before.
Toward evening the expedition arrived
at the fortified Coma" of the sultan
of Marungu, an African chieftain noted
for bravery, energy and wisdom. He
proved very useful to the travellers, and
showed his friendship in many ways.
He refreshed the weary party with
homebrewed beer, which was drinka-
bic, and a meal of dried ribs of beef,
which was left untasted by the
European, The next night Kuhnert, who
had hitherto been exceedingly careful,
threw caution to the winds. He slept
on the ground, which was damp from
recent rains, and fell victim of swamp
fever. Fortunately for himself and
the cause ofart, he succeeded in reach
ing the military station on the Kilima
Ndscharo before losing consciousness.
There he received excellent medical
treatment and found congenial COM
pany. During his convalescence he
made numerous short trips. in the
course of which he came across many
rare animals and birds, sketches of
which now adorn the walls of scores of
European galleries. One of his most
charming water colors is that of pair
of marabous, which is here reproduced
in black and white. He also sketched a
rhinoceros which he shot in the Arusha
territory. After the demands of art
had been satisfied, the unwieldy beast
was cut up and devoured by his black
followers, who pronounced roast rhin-
oceros the daintiest of African morsels.
Soon afterward the artist began his
return trip. He stopped for a few days
at Masinde, a British mission station,
TO recover from the effects of a cold
contracted on the road during the
rainy season. On his arrival at Tanga
he dismissed his carriers and servants;
and thus ended the only exploring ex-
pedition ever undertaken for purely
artistic purposes.
Kuhnert was received with high hon
ors by the representatives of the Ger
man government in East Africa, and
on his return to Berlin was feted by
statesmen, artists and geographers.
His journey, although undertaken as a
private venture, enabled him TO make
many observations of a sociological and
political nature, which have since been
put into practical operation by the
colonial office. 1t was the artists in
tention at one time to undertake a sec
ond journey to Africa, but Cupid inter-
fered with his plans. Instead of again
braving the dangers of jungle and
prairie, he ventured upon the sea of
matrimony; "a decision which," ac-
cording TO the friend who has furnished
the notes upon which this chat is based,
might have been wisdom for a shop
keeper, but which is detrimental to an
artist who, sir, needs freedom more
than money or comfort" But Mr..
huhnert is happy man, just the same.

ORDINARY CIVILITY.

laid Mr.. Gobbleby, the practice of civility.
As a matter of fact, don't suppose that a
very great number of men have suddenly be.
come wealthy through this means; that is, l
don't suppose that large number OF very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but don't doubt, either, that there
have been just such cases, and don't for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent civllity.
but aside from any question of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance OF that involved in it) should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for
another reason. There are lots of people
who like civil treatment, who are. in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out OF
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet should say It would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always TO be derived from affordins
pleasure to others.

studying the lion, the tiger, the rhin-
oceros and other strange beasts in their
native lair. No artist before him had
undertaken such a dangerous trip on
his own responsibility. His predeces-
sors-and he had but few--who had
visited the African wilds had done so
as the paid representatives of pictorial
journals. Kuhnert went for arts sake,
giving up lucrative employment TO
gather knowledge for himself and man
kind. While on his way TO the Germna
East African possessions he stopped
for time at Cairo and other Egyptian
cities, filling his sketch books with
little treasures which afterward were
eagerly purchased by lovers of genuine
art and which the critics have pro-
nounced gems of the purest ray.
Kuhnert organized his exploring and
sketcEing expedition at Tanga. His
force consisted of few carriers, a
guide and a cook, of whose natural
goodness the artist speaks words of
highest praise, in direct contradiction
of other travellers who have pronounced
these natives treacherous and lazy.
Whenever Kuhnert's little expedition
touched native villages it found a
hearty welcome; and eggs, -four, chick
ems, corn and sugar cane were always
offered in exchange for European tri-
fles. The negro men would stand for
hours behind his camp chair and would
accompany every movement of brush
or pencil with eloquent gestures.

The other day the writer had the
pleasure of passing an hour or two in
the company of half dozen ar
lists whose landscapes and por-

found in abundance. The others of
the party were less ambitious-one be
ing headed for the Upper Mississippi
country, the others for the lakes and
woods of Wisconsin and Michigan.
From personalities the conversation
drifted into broader channels, one be-
! ing the discussion of the journeyings
of artists of note. The statement was
made that painters-even those of great
reputation-draw largely upon their
imagination. especially in the depic-
ton of comparatively unknown lands
and the wild beasts which inhabit them
