TIE Chinese indemnity will. in

THE Chinese indemnity will, in all probability, be paid in silver, as this meal is the m asure of value, to a great extent, in both countries. Japan has not been callsd upon 10 negotiate any E iropean loan. payable in gold, for the prosecution of the war, there fore she has experienced no special drain of gold China, on the other hand, being heavily indebted to Eng land and other European nations, ha- exported within the last few year- large quantities of gold. and her na- tional treasury does not now contain any considerable amount of the yellow metal. Moreover. silver is the only metal Of exchange in the Chinese em- pire, and th. being the case 1t would be much easier tc pay the indemnity in silver than in gold, though no o. fcial statement ha. been made to tha, effect.

The GEs,rcr, trlien it came. did not rcdS-

fed that we gained no Information and
rather augurcd trcacbery the more re-
member noticing how each took the crisis;
how Mistress Anne's face was set hard
and her breath ca,nc in jerks; how Dymph-
ma, pale and trembling, seemed yet to
have eyes only for her father; how the
duchess faced the entrance like queen at

Never were six people SO taken aback as
we were. But the newcomer, whose faco
was flushed with haste and excitement,
observed nothing. Apparently he saw
nothing unexpected even in our presence
down stairs mt that hour, nothing hostile
or questioning in the half circle of aston
ished faces turned toward him. On the
contrary, ho seemed pleased. All, he
exclaimed gutterally, lit is well! You arc
up! You have taken tho Alarm
1t was to me he spoke, and was SO
surprised by that and by his sudden ap-
pearancc, so dumfounded by his easy nd-
dress and the absence of all self conscious
ness Oh his part, so struck by change in
him, that l stared in silence. l could not
believe that this was the same half shy,
half flQncc young man who had flung away
n few hours before IN passion OF jealousy.
Ny theory that he was the assassin
seemed on sudden cxtravagant, though
fcre kc was on the spot. When Master
Lindstrom asked: Alarm: What aiarm.''
listened for his answer as I should have
| listened for the answer of friend and

| changed by the rise of something to the
surface which ordinarily lay hid in him.
| Before he had seemed churlish, awkward,
| q boor. But in this Lour of our need and

! generous sparkle in his eye and trusted

You do lot know? They arc coming to
