CHAPTER VIII.
THE GREAT COMPETITION.

Sho Mai walked rapidly over the famil-
lar fields in the direction of the house
of Lii Yueu Wy. She felt no fear ofpur-
suit, for she knew we'll that tho pirates
would not return to explore the cave
that day, and, in fact, would be much
more likely to set sail on the following
morning, firmly believing that the
Chief and herself had fallen victims to
the demons of the place. Her only
fear was that the story of the treasure
would prompt them to send another
expedition better equipped for such
search, and that the party might pass
through the cave and commit depreda-
lions in the outskirts of Teng Chow.
This thought did not trouble her much,
because word of caution to the
authorities of the city would. put them
on their guard.
The one serious anxiety in her mind,
apart from her fear for Ii Xii, was the
thought of the shortness of the time
that now remained to hor in which to
reach Picking, where the great competi-
ton for the sake of which she had en-
dured so much was soon to begin. In
arranging for their journey she and Ii
Xiii had allowed at least week for rest
in the great city before the final trial.
She had now been delayed about that
length of time, but with favoring
chances she might yet arrive in season.
But sad as would be the disappoint-
ment if she failed to reach Picking, the
thought of it claimed only small share
of her attention. The wel1-known path
she trod, the trees whose branches
nodded to her as a friend, the distant
mountain tops, the very air itself spoke
loved name, and she could hear no
other sound. Amid these scenes one
presence only came to her Imagination.
BY this remembered way he had first led
her to his home; here they had often
walked together in the days of that
strange deception by which even love
was baffled for time; and when the
vail had fallen they had passed over
these same green fields, and in the
smiling face of nature had read the
most precious of her promises. Had she
Knocked at them?
BY thinking as calmly as she could
upon the chances of her lovers safety,
Sho Mai endeavored to compose her
mind for the delivery of that painful
message which she was bearing to Ii
Kean and Ii Yuen Wy. She held it to
be certain that Ii Xiii had not been
captured by the pirates. He had been
exposed to no dangers except those of
the ocean. If his boat had fallen in

moment she stood there; then, throwing
back her head, while her eyes shone like
diamonds, she exclaimed: s'Do you
