troubles. Life with Stanley promised
new experiences. unthought-of ad-
ventures and all those things which
from his early days had appeared to
his sporting mind to make life worth

own initiative. collected force Of
over four hundred natives as carriers
and marched with them to meet STAN

the great explorers disposal. Stan

enrolled Ward as volunteer officer
Of the expeditions. In spite of his
youth. he was placed in command of
Stanley's rear guard, and two and 4

work followed. He has related his

Herbert Ward was always a lover of
art. AS boy he was fond OF sketch
ing things that interested him. and
he hoped to study under Seymour
Lucas. the celebrated English sculp-
tor. HIS father did not wish him to
become an artist, SO the lessons in
sculpture were abandoned. While he
was in Africa Ward made innumer-
able sketches. which proved valuable
to him in his later work as a sculp-
tor. This extract from his diary de-
scribes one of his sketching expert
ences in the darkast part Of Africa:

~ HEoDORE ROOSEVELT had
just returned from his famous
hunting trip in Africa whom
L he heard that his friend. Her
bert Ward, the British explorer and
sculptor, intended to leave his cele-
brated collection Of African weapons
and trophies to the Smithsonian In
stitution in Washington. With char
acteristic enthusiasm, Roosevelt de-
clared, "All Americans are to be con-
graduated on the chance one day to
see in their own land this unique
presentation Of the primitive life of
one Of the most primitive races"
That opportunity has come to the
American people, for the collection
has just been installed in the Ma
tional Museum by Mrs. Herbert Ward
in pursuance of her late husbands
intention expressed several years be-
fore the war. 1t will be open to the
public on March 1.
The Wards were visiting Washing
ton as the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Nelson Page in 1912. While
in the city. Mr.. Ward was invited to
witness the presentation of the first
Langley medal by the Smithsonian
Institution to the Wright brothers.
He was deeply impressed. and upon
his return from the ceremony inti-
mated to his friend that the Smith
sonian might be the ideal place for
his African collection. It is quite cer-
tain that Mr.. Page did not discourage
this idea Herbert Ward was infiu-
enced by the fact that the greatest
body of the negro race that had at
tanned civilization was here in Amer
lea, and he felt that his collection
would serve a higher chronological
purpose here than elsewhere. He was
also impressed by the fact that the
Smithsonian had been endowed origi-
naIly by an Englishman, James Smith
son, who had been a wanderer like
himself
A CORNER Of the exhibition hall
on the second floor of the Ma
tional Museum has been set apart for
the Ward collection of bronzes. tro-
phies of the hunt and a miscellaneous
drums that bear mute testimony to
an early civilization which once ex-
isted but now is past and gone. 1t is
particularly fitting that it should
occupy the same relative position at
the opposite end of the museum from
the famous Roosevelt collection.
But Herbert Wards African collec-
tion is more than an extensive assort-
rent of curious and highly interest
ing objects from a strange land. To-
gether with the bronze statues. it
forms a mirror Of the primitive life
of all men. 1t is collection such
as no white man ever possessed be-
fore. the finest in the world in quail
ity. The collection in Brussels, be-
longing to Leopold II. late king of
the Belgians. may be greater in actual
numbers. The collection is priceless.
for it can never be replaced.

and a beautiful mess he made Of it.
He intervened. You may remember,
in the famous EdalH case in which a
young Indian student was found gull
ty of manning horses. Sir Arthur,
who was convinced Of Eda1ji's inno-
cence, conducted an investigation,
with deductions and all the rest of
1t, and succeeded in getting another
man arrested. His complete inno-
cence was afterward clearly demon
strated and he was released.

will tell a story against myself. Some
eight or ten years ago we had what
became known as the Max Meyer
pearl robbery. A valuable pearl neck
lace which Max Meyer, q well known
dealer in precious stones, had ordered
from Paris was sent to London by
mail in a sealed packet. The packet
was delivered with the seals un-
broken, but instead of the necklace 1t
contained only pieces of coal. Our
Investigations established the fact
that the substitution must have taken
place after the arrival Of the necklace
at the London general post office,
and that period not exceeding five
minutes between the receipt and de-
livery must have sufficed for the OPEN
ing and resealing of the packet that
had contained 1t. The type of seal
used would have been difficult to
copy, but my own theory was that 1t
had been copied and q new seal made
on the spot. Following up my idea
I discovered that by utilixtng . proc

and shining with Intelligence, looked
straight at every one and everything,

Shortly after her husbands death
Mrs. Ward communicated with Dr.
Charles D. Walcott of the Smith
sonian Institution in regard to the
presentation Of the African collection
to the Smithsonian, as her husband
had planned. He left no will, so she
