Alice and Sam lunched together: for tea they visited a place she had always longed to see and they lingered there, Soft music. Rich rugs and hangings. Crystal and silver and bronze snd gilt, Sam Lee didn't look like a Chinaman. He looked more like a Spaniard or an Italian. Or a Roumanian, a Greek, a Russian--any- thing: one foreigner was about like another to Alice. How wonderful if --He was the dearest creature, really, and the nicest thing about him was his formality. He had never even {ried to kiss her. How nice it was to be in a place like this, how wonderful to afford to come here often, If she were an artist she could afford it. This was living. Yes, and Sam had seats at the most popu- Jar show in town for that evening. 'When she returned to her room she received the culminating surprise of that gala day. On her bed were a number of packages from the shops she had visited and when, with trembling fingers, she opened them, she found they contained all, or prac- tically all, of the lovely things that she had most enthusiastically admired on their sight-seeing tour, Here was a dinner dress, there an evening wrap, yonder a sport costume, a beaded bag, a hat--! Incredible. Alice gloated over them like a miser, her heart beats choked her. This was like Sam: Le did everything regally, What ex- travagance! For once Alice was eager to be seen in publie, therefore ghe and Sam went to a night club after the theatre, It was a maniacal place, the entertain- ment was wild, the dancing was fever- ish: she had never experienced any- think liks this, and it intoxicated her. She was drunk, too, on her escorts praises: over and over again he mur- mured into her ear that she was the most ravishing, the loveliest creature in the place and she believed him. They 'danced until they were tired. Sam did not kiss her on their way back to the hotel although she fully expected him to do so. Another day of bliss, another night of revelry followed: a third and then a fourth. The young people spent most of their waking hours together: when apart they were tly in "How strange to think of you com- ing from a place like this," 'Alcs mur- mured in a stifled voice, 3 He odded towards the south. Down there a little ways is where the governor of the state was born." A block or two between bleak, nar- row walk-ups that ran high and then Sam swung his car into a street more brightly illuminated than the others and with startling suddenness the en- vironment changed once more. New odors, strange and pungent and spicy, came to the girl's nostrils, new pie tures greeted her cyes. The signs and the storefronts carried hiero- glyphics, Oriental men crowded the sidewalks: * they were yellow, flat- nosed, high cheek-boned, undersized, and they wore ill-fitting, incongruous American clothes. Alice heard out- landish cries and words without meaning. The street ran bank full of pedestrians but the stream divided to let Sam's car pass through. He was saying something about Chinatown--it was nothing like it was painted--there was no local colo- it was a gigantic fake, but Alice heard him indistinctly, These Chinamen recognized Sam Lee's car and they knew Sam Lee: they were gaping at her. And why not? A white girl with one of their own people! A white girl in an evening wrap. Of a sud- den she felt frightened, half maked. She had never anticipated anything like this. Sam stopped his car in front of a building which rose several storeys above its neighbors and helped his passenger out. They were facing a fine store, a bazaar, now dimly light- ed: alongside of it was a tiled eu- trance and into this he led her. The place was clean and shiny with brass and white marble but there were un- recognizable odors in the air. Opium probably! Alice grew faint, her knees weakened. Where was Sam taking her? What would be the end of this hideous experience? A panic seized her. She saw it all, now, and under- stood the significance of his gifts, his attentions. How cunningly he had arranged everything, how patiently he had bided his time. An oily, wily, Oriental manoeuvre, She was tempt- ed to bolt and run but it was too late, the elevator gate had closed, she was being rushed upward, out of and away from the v-orld, She wanted to scream but feared to offend her companion. She wondered if she would ever be heard of again. CHAPTER VIL The elevator stopped. Alice step- ped out into a spacious hall, really an elaborately finished in each other's thoughts. Then came an evening to which Alice had looked for- ward with dread: Sam took her to see his father. Thus far she had beheld only the opulent heart of this modern Bagdad, she hau seen nothing of the city itself, but Sam piloted her away from +he calcium glare of the Rialto and drove south with her through streets that were dark and comparatively'desert- ed, on between endless towering walls by blind windows. Elevated trains roared through these empty, echoing streets with the clangor of huge metallic dragons: the denizens were meanly dressed, furtively they passed from shadow to shadow. Here was poverty, dirt, garbage, the sights and sounds and smells of a life all too familiar to Alice Hart. She shuddered, drew closer the silk- en wrap which Sam had given her and shrank against his side. Here was everything she loathed, back yonder the sky was ablaze; here the air was fetid, there it 'was heavy with intoxi- cating scents, She could never return, to 'this. 'Who cared what Sam Lee! was? He offered escape, he held her 'freedom in his hands and--he trem- Bled Vie a loaf at Ler touch. . She 'must act a part, she must be nice to his father for this was the deciding carved teak wood. Through this Sam led her into a room that caused her to gasp. It was splendid, it quite took her breath. Some spell had been put on her, she r d, for a ago, she had "been in the slums and now she stood in a temple of enchantment. This airy, spacious room was a mu- seum of treasures, it was softly light- ed;«it had an atmosphere of benevel- ent calm and dignity. Benevolent calm! Dignity! That's how Sam had once described his fath- er's dwelling place and the words were aptly descriptive also of the owner, a tall old Chinaman who rose and came forward to meet Alice and who was now bowing ceremoniously, raising and lowering his clasped hands in the Chinese manner: Lee Ying! He was a patriarch and an aristocrat. His voice was pleasant, his speech was slow and precise, his words were well chosen; he carried himself like a noble. "You honor my poor house," he told his visitor with a Dbenignant smile. tents of my heart ave yours. has often spoken of you in terms of the most respectful admiration and it is generous of you to favor an old man with th the light of your counten- » the stately "Its contents and.the grateful Soe : The speaker round: towards the farther of the room for it seemed to ner that she was looking out into a grov- ing garden, a riot of bloom and foli age. She saw live, luscious, From leaves and heard the tinkle of run- ning water, Talking as he went, the old man led her out upon the roof of the building itself and along a graveled walk, bordered with shrubbery, to a breast-high coping where she looked down upon the swarming chaos that is Chinatown, Atop this modern, fireproof structure that housed his store, Leé Ying's home stood in a yard of its own. Alice was in a lofty garden hung high above the lights and the clamor of the streets: evergreens and rose bushes were bejeweled with drops from a recent watering, the air was fresh and cool and earthy smell- ing up here. Yonder, to her left, down a formal pathway of slender cedars, stood a little Chinese pagoda with curling eaves over which a riot- ous wistaria clambered. Midway of the path was a pool, the abiding place of lazy goldfish with long, lacy fins, and into it a fountain dripped its li- quid music: here and there amid the shrubbery were stone and porcelain figures, the play-in-the-garden people Sam called them. They were images of merry little Chinese children, ab- surdly proportioned animals and 4ueer; capering gnomes with upflung arms and open mouths. The lights from the house, and it too had been modeled along pure Chi- nese lines, flooded the garden with an artificial moonlight wholly entrane- ing; it was a fairy bower, a place for birds to rest and for lovers to meet. (To be continued.) -- eee ee "Pleasure-Loving" French Called Industrious Race One of the most fantastic miscon- ceptions about the French is that they are a purely pleasure-loving people. The fact is, writes the Paris corres- pondent of "The London Daily Tele graph" that the average Frenchman passes a most laborious day, and, ow- ing to the inadequacy of his wages, this is followed in thousands of cases by a laborious night in a second em- ployment. As for the French work- ing woman, she accepts a twelve or fourteen hours' day as a matter of course, The remuneration for all this work does not permit of an extensive holi- day. Consequently, a host of people will welcome a scheme that has been worked out by M. Gaston Gerard, Under Secretary of State at the Min. istry of Public Works and Tourist Traffic. As is well known, the crowd- ing into Paris and the big cities has left many empty houses and cottages in the villages, and M. Gerard's idea is that these might well be placed at the disposal, at a small cost, of Par- isian workers for a week's of a fort night's holiday. The Department has asked every Prefect and every Maire to supply a list of such available dwellings, and steps are to be taken to put Parisians in possession of this information, FIR | SOHO CHR TO ONE ASLEEP sweetly, tender heart, peace; Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul, While the stars burn, the moon in- crease, And the great ages onward rcll. --To JS. am?"

The passengers were able to protect. themselves to some extent by blan- kets or shawls drawn tightly over their heads, but the unfortunate pilot had no such defense, nor was ho able to land the airplane at once without serious danger. A large number of bee stings have been known to drive: individuals temporarily insane. The incident offered, therefore, material for disaster. Fortunately, the pilot re- membered that bees swarming out of a hive seldom sting unless disturbed. He continued to fly the airplane but made as few movements as pogsible and made those very slowly. As a re- sult he was able to bring down the plane safely at the Paris airport, with: bees swarming all over his body, but at the expense of 'only one or two stings for himself and a few more for the passengers, Once on the ground, the bees were induced to swarm around their queen, who had remained in the damaged hive. -- A Code in Prayer When shadows fall around my soul, And 'round me day-dieams tumble; When through a veil of bitter tears, 1 see my castles crumble; When Fate has dealt a master-stroke To quell all hope within me, When friends desert me right and left |And Sorrow seeks to win me; When work I've given all my life To see complete and gleaming ruined by a spiteful hand ; And left me hopeless dreaming; Oh, God, may never faith give out-- May never co fail-- Is (20 Me fhe siragth io fight % frou; a fight and never quail! oe Oh, "Cot. when everything seems ends Wie life stretches mile on mile-- Let me. weave again the fragmentg-- Let me still show Life a smile! atl » Woods, in the Detrot. --_-- INJUSTICE It " a great gift rg 'with a SLL tice and, meanness, cluded not so much because it's hot.
