"There's no harm in telling The

thrust he turned triumphantly to
the men about him with a broad
smile on his face. They nodded in
approval.
"But are your public speeches to
be made in English ?"
"YOu bet. Velly many China

"But there are not many among
you, are there, who can talk well
enough for public speeches ?"
Don't want MANY. One speakee

man talkee alice other men-war."
And he repeated "war" number
of times with vehemence, just as
though he had picked out that word
as a good one and meant to stick to
it. He added, in his own way, that
the Cinnamon were in earnest about
this thing. They didn't see what
right Kearney or any other man
had to assail the people in a body,
and he renewed his claim that there
were good and bad men among
Americans as well as among China
men. He refused to give any more
particulars about the organization.
He said it would become public in
a very short time.
"DO you understand all the things
| Kearney says about you in his
| speeches." the reporter asked.

Emboldened by this information
the reporter ventured to ask him
confidentially:

The only response was an inVect-
i've against X carney, as he addressed
| the group of Cinnamon in their own
| tongue. When the interview was
over the reporter offered to pay
Mingo for his information, but he
declined the offer promptly and
said: Don't wantee money; got
plenty money!" and he hurried
back into the basement, evidently
relieved at his escape.

rama when nature gratulTOuSty /
displays to all. Suddenly they
were awakened from their reveries 4
by a piercing scream that sounded |
almost deathlike. With q quick
bound they ran over the rocks and
reached the place from whence it
issued and oh, horrOrl Lena, in
trying to reach a few wild flowers
on the edge of the precipice, lost
her footing and slipped so far down
that it seemed impossible to return.
She had caught upon a little rock
scarcely balanced which seemed to
have too frail a hold in the mountain
side to bear the weight of another.
The dark abyss was yawning far
below to receive her; should she
lose her footing she would be dash
ed into atoms below. None would
venture to scale the rocks and reach
her for it seemed certain death. 1t
was a terrible moment. One of the
ladies swoOned away in fright,
Others ran here and there in aimless
despair. The color had left Lena's
face, her frame trembled, her hold
was fast relaxing. Another moment
and she would be dashed to pieces
upon the rocks away below.
What could be done2 Would
Guy Lambert save her? He who a
few short hours before had said he
would Law down his life for her.
Alas for it! Guy Lambert stood
upon the rock calling loudly for
some one to save her.
At this terrible crises when all
seemed lost forever, Harry fremont,
who had just reached the summit
almost exhausted from fatigue,
hearing of the terrible danger that
threatened the life of Lena rushed
over the rocks as if inspired with
new energy, stripped off his boots,
and with the rapidity of thought
scrambled down the mountain side
and reached Lena just in time to
grasp her falling form. All stood
above in breathless silence awaiting
| the result. Lena, governed by
| Harry Tremont's directions placed
one foot firmly upon his outstretched
arm and supporting herself with
the other against the mountain
side, grasped with her hands twig
far above and so near the top that
friendly hands joined her and
brought her safely on the summit.
How would Harry extricate him.
self was the next question. The
rock he was standing on was fast
giving away. With a desperate
effort he placed one foot in a crevice
and catching a tWig near by, raised
his foot from the rock which tot
tered for a moment and fell with a
crash, echoing and re-echOeing faI
down the mountain side until its
sounds died away. And when they
died away Harry fremont was safe
upon the top, resting his weary
limbs.
Lena Morton's answer to Guy
Lambert was not what he had an
ticipated it would be.
One year afterwards one might
have read in a morning paper:
MARRIED-At the residence OF
the brides father on - day of -
