That is the reward of the Brookes, and all the roward they ask. They serve and love the land they rate." The stara, quiet Englishman with the grey moustache which he twists and pulls unceasingly, the blue eyes with hwnorona twinkles which belie the exterior gravity, and the quiet voice, has for forty years been a monarch far more absolute thon the Czar. His will is the only law of the country. The life of every one of his taillion of subjects lies in bis hand. At his word they go to prison or are freed; they labour or they fight; they remain in their jungles or they come under surveillance in Kuching. He looks every inch a king. Hating all pomp and ceremony, barely submitting to walk beneath the yellow silk umbrella, which custom dictates shall be held over his head whoa he to sit in court: dashing up the river before Koes dawn on his return from visiting his ont stations that he may avoid a salute--this man holds the secret of kingship. He is seventy-six aod, despite all that is said, will die in harness.

Charles Vyner Brooke, the Rajah Muda, imperturbable and resolute, blessed with a saving gift of humour, is learning how to rule when his time comes, and winning the love of his future subjects according to the noble tradition of his house. He it was who, when the army of Sarawak was smitten like that of Sennacherib with a scourge of cholera, moved among the dying and the dead armed with cayenne pepper and a bottle of Worcester sauce, the only remedies at band, to give auch relief as these

In Sarawak the miracle of the British race repeats itself. Young officers are sent miles up the rivers to administer districts inhabited by tribes hardly yet weaned from head-hunting and like iarbaric practices. They do it by their in flexible kanse of fair play, aided by the saving graen above mentioned, to which it is probably due that the solitude does not drive them mad-often.

The white men in the Sarawak service, bow- ever, are not deputy Pro-Consuls of a foreign Power. They are the servants of a national Sovereign whose rule rests on the asmat of the natives.

Are life and property safe in Sarawak? Safor than in London. I coupled a bungalow while I was in Kuching in which I wasabsolutely alone. I nover closed door nor window (except to keep the rain ont) by day or night the whole tierns there. I never kept anything locked up, and I never lost a thing. I
