march,
The volIeys soon stirred up the inhabi-
tants of the sleeping village and hun
dreds of people rushed up the hill to
meet the caravan. The people stared at
the American fag-the first that had ever
been unfurled in Central Africa. A few.
however, had seen 1t floating over the
consulate at Zanzibar, and they cried:
'Bindera Merikanil''-the American flag.
Suddenly a voice came from the crowd,
saying:
Good morning, sir!''
Stanley, started turned towards the
crowds of blacks. A dapper little fellow,
with coal black face, surmounted with
turban of American sheet1ng, stepped
forth and salaamed.
s"Who are you?" demanded Stanley.
81 am Susi, the servant Of DIR. Living
stone.' said the boy
rs DR.. Livingstone here?'
Yes; In the village"
Other servants of the doctor came for
ward and greeted Stanley In good and re-
freshing English. Susi was told to run
and tell the doctor that a white man was
coming to see him and the boy darted off
like the wind.
An immense crowd had gathered and
almost blocked the way of the caravan
DIR. Livingstone could not believe that
white man was coming. but his servants
assured him that 1t was true.
STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE
The great Arab magnates gathered at
the doctors house to await the coming
of the white man. When Stanley came
within sight of the doctors house he felt
embarrassed. His impulse was to rush
forward and embrace him, but, he de-
clares. cowardice and false pride held
him back. Consequently the meeting was
of the most formal kind. Stanley describes
1t In this way:
';is'I walked deliberately toward him. took
off my hat, and said: DR.. Livingston,
presume?'
Ives. said he, with kind smile, lift
ing his cap slightly
The two men stood facing each other
for a moment. Then they grasped hands
and Stanley exclaimed:
IT thank God, DOCTOR I have been per-
mitted to see you"
II feel thankful" replied the doctor,
that I am here to welcome you"
Stanley was introduced to thegroup Of
Arabs and then the two white men sat
down for chat, surrounded by a mob of
gaping natives. Stanley had brought
large packet Of letters for the man who
was supposed to have been killed years
before, but he refused to open it until
he had been told of the news Of the
world.
"How is the world getting along3'' he
demanded. And this was the summary
of the news that Stanley gave DR.. Liv-
ingstone, almost in a breath-a digest
Of events that had occurred since Liv
ingstone had left the world of affairs.
The Pacific railroad had been complet-
ed; Grant had been elected president of
the United States; Egypt had been flood
ed with savants; the Cretan rebellion had
terminated; a Spanish revolution had
driven Isabella from the throne Of Spain;
Gen. Prim was assassinated; CASTELAR,
had electrified Europe with his advanced
ideas upon the liberty of worship; Prus-
STA had humbled Denmark and annexed
Schleswig- Eolstein, and her armies then
surrounded Paris; the Man of Destiny"
was prisoner at Wilhelmshohe; the En-
press of the French was fugitive; the
Napoleon dynasty was extinguished by
the Prussianss Bismarck, and Won Mol
ike, and France, the proud empire, was
humbled to the dust.
Livingstone listened with amaZement TO
this chapter Of momentous events and
sat for long time, thinking without
comment. After long silence he ordered
food, and, although he had eaten but
little for weeks, he fell to with keen
appetite. After time he said:
you have brought me new life-you
have brought me new life"
They drank a bottle Of champagne to-
gether that Stanley had packed all the
way from Zanzibar for that particular
purpose, and had almost forgotten 1T.
The two men talked and ate all day long
and as night fell the doctor retierd to
read his mail. The next morning he was
glad and sad from the news he had re-
ceiyed from home. The two white men
gossiped for days of the world of civili-
cation and of that which was still in the
shadow.
ANOTHER TOUR.
After long period Of rest in Ujili Stan
ley induced Livingstone to accompany
him on a tour of discovery over some
of the territory that the doctor still wish
ed to explore, and on Dec. q they started
from Jill. The doctor took the lead down
the lake with the British flag flying from
his boat and Stanley's canoe followed
with the Stars and Stripes Tapping In the
wind from the stern of his dugout.
The men were exuberant at the thought
of going back towards the sea, and as
they pulled away at the oars they COM
posed and sang this song:
We have given the Waha the slip ha! ha!
The Wavinza will trouble US no more!
OIL oh!
Mionvu can get no more cloth from us!
hyl by!
And Kiaia will see us no moreover
morel he.' he!
The American and English explorers
Travelled together for many days, and
their observations added many chapters
TO the books Of geographical research.
Stanley had quickly intimated to the doc
tor during their long tramps that he
wanted him to return to civilization with
him, but to all these overtures he turn
ed deaf ear. He would not discuss the
subject beyond saying that his work was
not done. During their wanderings Iiv-
ngstone one day said:
ct can never pass through An African
forest, with its solemn stiffness and SER
entity, without wishing to be buried quiet
ly under the dead leaves. whore I could
rest undisturbed In England there Is no
elbowroom."
The expedition finally reached the ''hait-
