But for eople, of about the age and rank of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, at the table; and it struck me that there hat warm, genial manner which distinguished Mr. Stanley. I felt frequently flattered by the encomie weather, or some scene in the street; but Mr. Stanley's way was as though it specially concerned of their goodness was more than confirmed. Mrs. Stanley seemed to become at each visit more tender Jonson, Cowper, etc. They were a gift from Mr. Stanley, and in each book was his autograph. Theth had come.

His reception of me was so paternal that the prodigal son could not have been more delighted. My absence from New Owas elicited with the assistance of his searching questions, and then I was, as it were, turned completely inside out. Mr. Stanley said that what I had told him only bore out the conclusion he had long before arrived at concerning me.

On freeing myself, I searched for some handy instrument; but, at this juncture, Living-stone came out of the tent, and cried out to Ulimengo, Poli-Poli-hapo [Gently there]! What is the matter, Mr. Stanley? Almost breathless between passion and quinine, I spluttered out my explanations. Then, lifting his right hand with the curved forefinger, he said, I will settle this. I stood quieted; but, what with unsatisfied rage and shameful weakness, ed and furnished with men, means, medicines, and instruments, and a small herd of cattle, set out for the scene of his explorations. Eight months later, the heroic life came to its heroic end. From an unpublished Memorial to Livingstone by Stanley, the following passages are taken. He preached no sermon, by word of mouth, while I was in company with him; but each day of my companionship with him witnessed a sermon acted. The Divine instructions, given of old on the Sacred Mount, were

In this condition we entered Ituru — a land of naked people, whose hills drain into a marsh, whence issue the southernmost waters of the Nile. It was here, on this watershed, that Stanley discovered the southernmost source of the Nile.--D. S.

Here it was that Stanley earned the title which, I think, gave him mord states under civilised administration. But Stanley's task was heavier than that of the pioneers hich Stanley had devised.

The railway shares had been nearly all taken up, etc., etc. Now, Mr. Stanley, said he, you have put me under still further obligations, by pointing out how slave-raiding can be stopped; you have also suggested how we could transform slave-raiders into policemen, which is a splendid idea; and, finally, you have indicatecentre of the southern shore of the Albert Edward to the northern head of the Tanganyika Lake, a strip of ten miles in width was secured to Great Britain for free transit, The Cape-to-Cairo Route, on all-British territory, thus anticipated by Stanley, and rendered feasible by this Treaty, was lost to England owing to the weakness of the Liberal Government of the day, who were actually bluffed into cancelling the Treaty by German pressure. with all powers of jurisdiction.

Chapter XX the happy haven on Saturday, July 12, 1890, I was married to Stanley, at Westminster Abbey. He was very ill at the time, with gastritis and malaria, but his powerful will enabled him to go through with the ceremony. We went straight to Melchet Court, lent to us for our honeymoon by Louisa, Lady Ashburton. Stanley's officer, Surgeon Parke, accompanied us, and together we nursed Stanley back to health.

I feel as unimpressed as if I were a child taking its first view of the world, or as I did when, half-dead at Manyanga in 1881, I thought I had done with the world; it is all so very unreal. During my long bachelorhood, I have often wished that I had but o
