James Thomson showed how hydro

DECENTLY Rider Haggard had
the experience Of giving his
daughter in marriage to Ma
jor Cheyne Of the British
army. In a silk hat and other attire
that is conventional for matrimonial
occasions Mr.. Haggard looked to be
quite a young man, although he is now
Iffty-three years Of age. 1t is probably
as the author of 'She" that he has
gained his greatest fame, and in speak
Of his early work recently he said:
my entrance into literature was
purely an accident. Even after my re-
turn from Africa I had no idea Of en-
tering the profession. l went to AZ
RIGA as secretary to n Of the gov
errors I was in the country at the
time OF the war and left disguised at
the outcome. While in Africa I made
q close study Of the habits Of the ma
tives and the country generally. In
consequence when I returned to Eng,
land I was in a position to describe
what I had seen and heard. These
materials, with a sufficient amount Of
romance blended with them. are made
use Of in my tales Of African life.
"As I have already stated, my en-
trance into literature was due to
chance. While practicing at the bar
I conceived the idea Of writing a work

Except for what Richard Harding

novelists Of the time seem not to have
paid much attention to South America

for romances there which has not vet

the growing interest in that part of the

1t is said Of Mr.. Haggard that he
was once in a farmhouse which was
occupied by some Beers, who began
discussing a plot against the British,
and he knew that If they discovered
be was English they would probably
shoot him on the spot as a spy. He
was debating how he could get rid of
them before they made the discovery
when one Of them lit his pipe and
threw the match, still burning, to the
door. Haggard leaped up and stamp
ed it out.
"Why do you do that?" asked the
leader Of the Beers.
Because the British keep all their
dynamite under this loor,'' he replied.

left on the premises.
