ch had notthen been developed into a question, but wasaccepted, as it had been handed down to us, as adivine institution, and therefore the only form thatcould be recognized—because of these strange ideas Ihad a great desire to see the writer. When the suc-cess of the book was assured and the real name of itsauthor had become known, I was filled with a greaterdesire than ever to look into the face of the womanwho had penned this somewhat weird production.The opportunity came to me during my sojourn inAfrica when I visited Olive Schreiner in her home. Her book being without a frontispiece of the writer,the only idea to be formed of her personal appearancemust of necessity be based on the characteristics ofthe book. These being so unusual, it was but naturalto expect to see a somewhat unusual appearing indi-vidual. With these thoughts in my mind I left thetrain at a station a short distance from Craddock, andfound the carriage waiting to convey me to the farm,some three miles distant.

Olive Sciireiner. AFRICA. 277 Viewing the surrounding country as we drovealong, I did not see how any place in that regioncould be called a farm. My whole being just tingledwith suppressed interrogation-points, as I wonderedwhat such barren land could produce. Arrived atthe farm, a little body flitted from the house to thegate to welcome me, and in less than five minutes Iwas truly at home with this interesting, chatty littlewonian. Mrs. Schreiner is under average height, with darkhair, arranged in that careless style so becoming togenius. Her dark, sparkling eyes light up her facewith wonderful brightness as she expresses the inter-est she feels in all things ; for, from this place whereone seems almost buried, she keeps in perfect touchwith the outside world and its doings. This kindof life, that would narrow down and dwarf the verysoul of some women, is to her a perpetual feast. The house is of the style of the farm-houses of thatcountry—comfortable, but scarcely presenting the s

the country. As we stood in the door of her house, Mrs.Schreiner pointed toward the hills with great enthu-siasm, told of the animals that prowl among thebushes, and seemed to revel in the beauty (?) of alandscape that to me breathed only of endless waste.She was, if anything, even more enthusiastic in herdelight in the great karroo. I just love it, said she, for its mighty vast-ness. I am filled with awe when I look upon itsalmost boundless stretches, spreading over miles ofuninhabited regions. I have almost a reverence forit. Then, pointing in the direction which we thenfaced, she added, Away over there, in a smallhouse, I wrote my story of An African Farm; itwas the majesty of the almost limitless karroo thatgave me my inspiration. I did not discuss the theology or social features ofthe book, which I fully intended to do, for she talkedon about the country and of things generally inwhich she is so well informed, that time wore apace,and I was obliged to depart without having gained

Fish River, Sclireiner Farm. Africa. 281 the information whether or not the book expressedher own personal views. Later I was told that shewas but nineteen years of age when this remarkableproduction was brought out. It is said that from herpublishers she received the small amount of fourteenpounds, to which, however, they added large sumswhen the book proved such an astonishing success. The next in interest was Olive Schreiners hus-band, as he is generally called in South Africa.Mr. Schreiner, previous to his marriage with Olive,was a Mr. Conwright; but finding his wife unwillingto give up a name that had become known through-out the world, he took hers ; a proceeding made easyin that country by simply announcing in the papersfor a certain time that after such a date Mr. JohnSmith will be known as Mr. John Smith Brown, orGreen, as the case may be. Numerous criticismshave been passed pro and con on his unusual course,and I venture to say that sentiment generally is muchagainst a man l
