brought us face to face has at length,
in the mystery of fate, brought us heart

the old philosopher, with all his wis

in the sky, though it was like the smile
of heaven.
Five days more and Ii Kean stood in
the doorway while her tears fell fast.
"You will come again?' she said,
pleadingly.
"My word upon it for US both," said
Ii Xiii.
They sailed under favorable skies.
Slowly the tall tops of the Pom 10y
mountains grew into cloud banks on the
horizon, while Ii Xiii and Sho Mai
stood side by side watching them.
Then came two days of pleasant
breezes and smooth seas, but the third
was reserved for most terrible inter-
ruption. The two voyagers stood beside
the captain as sail which had been
sighted drew near.
''What is the matter?" asked Ii Xiii,
observing that there was a tumult among
the sailors. "They act as if that were

more the image of the mighty god, Chun
Wong, has claimed the alteration of the
people. They reached at length small
dwelling, set in a garden, and there in
the door stood pretty Ii Kean, the
daughter of Ii Yuen Wy, to welcome
them. Her brothers long absence had
made her somewhat anxious about him,
and she greeted him with every token
of sisterly affection, while she looked
out of the corners of her handsome eyes
at the strange youth who had come to
be their guest.
Passing within, Sho Mai was brought
into the presence of Ii Yuen Wy. A
venerable old man he was, whose broad,
high brow and intelligent eyes pro-
claimed him thoughtful student Of
books and of men. A word from Ii Xiii
explained Sho Mai's coming, and the
scholar greeted her with cheerful hospi-
tality. Food was placed before them,
and deft-handed Ii Kean was cup bearer
Afterwards chamber was prepared for
Sho Mai, and in this quiet refuge the
tired maiden slept, almost without a
moments wakefulness, until the follow
ing morning.
