a@ One of the stories that followed
Ii Hung Chang from London related
as most of the anecdotes about him
do, to his extreme frankness in inter
rogating the person he meets on any
point which interests him, even though
the newer civilization has imposed on
men more reticence. Earl Ii met ir
London a woman of titled family and
influential social position. He asked
how many children she had. "Three,'
was her answer. "Only three" re-
sponded the earl, through his inter
prefer. "Why haven't you had any
more ?" What the titled lady replied
to this is not recorded. His question
ing of an Englishman along the same
lines brought out the fact that the
Englishman had no children, and never
had had any. "Never had any," was
the surprised response from the earl
"Then why haven't you ?"

These two amiable and selfish per-
sons thoroughly understood one anoth-

worse of Colonel Byng for declining to
part with money which he naturally
preferred to retain for his own use and
behoof, while the colonel asked nothing
better than to maintain friendly rela.

was soon privileged to enjoy, and who,
as he reflected, must eventually be-
queath her ample means to her only
child. he did not mean to go to any
personal expense in the matter, but ne
was very willing hat Ned should be
made happy and rich, and he foresaw
that Mrs. Atherton would not remain
obdurate forever. In the plenitude OF
his good nature he procured invitations
for the widow and her daughter to the
houses Of certain relatives and friends
of his where they might otherwise have
found some difficulty in effecting an
entrance, and he assured his son that
the situation called for nothing more
than the exercise Of a little ordinary
patience.
Ned Byng. fortunately, was q very
reasonable young man. He had great
confidence in his fathers acuteness and
knowledge of the world; he had the
