A thorn to the flesh is Nick, forever throwing ice wateron our hopes of an early close to the war, an event we are hopingand longing for and often discuss in our travels. When Nick de-veloped into manhood he did a poor job in changing his voice andseemed to lose control of it. When under pressure of excitementhis voice leaves the grade and soars skyward and as quickly de-scends to a deep bass when the pressure is relieved. Considerablediscussion is carried on at times over the meaning of the termsunder which we enlisted, namely: Three years or during the war,u

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.

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
