"I too must continue my journey," replied ChaEg. "1 am going to the Emperor's Summer Palace with an offering for the young Prince. Know- est thou if the way Ls long?" "I will show thee," replied the other, smiling strangely. They walked down the road beside a high stone wall, and soon, to Chang'a surprise turned in a vaulted gateway. Silently his companion led Chang along a path bordered by blossoming plum trees to a gleaming pagoda at the end; then up two steps and into a great hall. Several attendants stood near a man seated on a golden throne in the centre of the room, and as Chang and the boy entered, one of them sprang forward. "Where has thou been?" he cried. â- 'We have searched the Palace ground* for an hour and ," "Cease, Fo Hop," said a voice from the throne. "Let Yung Loh himself explain." "My Father," replied the boy bow- ing low. "I crave thy pardon should I have caused thee distress." He took Chang by the hand and led him for- ward.
