How Pckin Is Guarded,

The outer great wall of Pekin is
about twenty-seven miles in circum-
ference. 1t was built centuries ago OF
mud and bricks. Each brick is as big
as a family Bible, and the interstices
are filled up with mud and stones. The
whole has long settled into solid
cement. Save for some damage done
in one or two quarters by recent floods,
this great wall is still intact. The
gates number thirteen. They are in
significant, though finely arched. being
only twenty feet high. At night they
are closed with great doors sheatbed
with iron, and no one can pass in or
out.

CHAPTER XXI.
/ Rescue the Mate,

Pale as marble, with his lower jaw
relaxed and his eyes almost closed,
motionless as If dead, but, nevertheless,
still breathing slowly and heavily, poor
Marc Hislop lay in his bed. the clothes
and pillows of which were saturated
with blood, for he seemed to be COW
cred by wounds, and the crimson cur
rent had flowed over the piles of his
favorite books, which were scattered
upon the cabin floor, where they had
been trod under foot by Antonio while
overhauling the repositories of the un-
fortunate proprietor.
Shuddering, and in haste, we lifted
him from the bed. muffled him in a
blanket and conveyed him, passive as
child in our hands, from the cabin.
AS we passed out, for moment it
seemed as if the ruffianly Spaniard re-
pented of his temporary clemency; for
when he saw the pale, bloody and in
sensible form of the poor fellow trailed
past, he made an ominous stride to-
ward us, and threateningly clutched
the haft of the Albacete knife in his
sash. Then waving his hand, almost
contemptuously, he said:
"Basta-go, go-it matters little now,
either to him or to me. Demonio! l
always strike Deep"
Alarm and pity endowed us with un-
usual strength, ard we bore the speech-
less victim of Antonio up the steep
stair to the deck, where our crew. with
muttered oaths of vengeance, and ex-
pressions of commiseration. bore him
into the forepart of the vessel. There
bed was made for him on deck: for
GOODNESS, an awning was rigged over it.
and we had his wounds examined
We found deep stab in the neck
most dangerously near the jugular
vein; a second in the breast. a third
between the bones of the right forearm
and fourth in the left thigh; all had
evidently been dealt through the bed
clothes, and with savage energy Of
purpose.

man at the wheel ito pass word for
ward for him and another apprentice"
The boys came, but not without great
fear and reluctance; and while Antonio
proceeded leisurely to make another
paper cigar, keeping his ears open for
every sound. and his black eyes fixed
keenly on us the while, we entered
the little stateroom of Marc Hislop and
beheld sight which filled us with the
deepest commiseration and dismay.

OVER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN COURT
Vice Chancellor Pitney Hears Evil

Testimony was taken before Vice Cham
cellor Pitney, yesterday afternoon, in the
Court of Chancery, in the suit of ].
Fletcher Burdette to have the partition
proceedings of the Robert Annett estate
corrected The matter has been in the
courts since 1875.
The estate included a large tract of
land situated in Bergen county in the
vicinity Of the Palisades at Fort Lee.
This tract was sold at partition sale in
1875, and it appears that some of the
shares were sold for the costs of the
partition. 1t also appears that some six
teen acres included in the actual division
was not described in the bill of complaint
Mr. Burdette purchased part of this
tract and now asks the Court to amend
the partition so that his title may be
made clear.
The heirs of Alexander Annett, one of
the beneficiaries under the will of Robert
Annett, contend that he was insane at
the time of the partition sale. They in
sist that his share was sold without any
guardian being appointed and that there's
fore their rights were not affected by the
safe of the property not described IN
the bill of complaint. They ciaim tnat at
under these circumstances the bill ought
not to be amended as against them.

FRIENDLY VISITING
City Distrlcted Last Evening
BY Organizated Aid and
Volunteers Called
For.

Friendly visiting was the topic under
discussion last evening at the closing
meeting of the Organized Aid Associa-
ton, held in the Bergen Reformed
Church, and volunteers were called for.
Tt was decided to district the city,
each district to have it's president or
captain, something after the fashion Of
the Town Improvement Department,
each president to choose his own help
ers from the volunteers.
Mrs. George McEwan has charge of the
First District. reaching from Hoboken
avenue to the Five Corners; Colonel John
J. Toffey of the Second. reaching from
the Five Corners to Bergen Square; the
Rev DR. Vail of the Third. reaching
from Bergen to Communipaw ave-
nues; the Rev. DR.. Allen of the Fourth,
reaching from Communipaw avenue to
Union street: Miss Helen Moore of the
Fifth, reaching from Union street to
Myrtle avenue, and Miss Mary Collard
of the Lafayette section.
These presidents or, as DR.. Brett terms
them, captains are to have a number OF
volunteers in each district whose duty it
shall be to look after the needs of at least
two destitute families as referred to them
by the captain of that district, after the
cases have been duly investigated by
Miss Chown, the Organized Aid agent.
1t is the object of the Organized Aid to
eventually, through cooperation, control
all other charitable organizations of the
city, making 1t one great charity, with
one treasury, in place of the large number
which now exists.
AS it was not deemed expedient to hold
another meeting during the hot weather
the Organized Aid adjourned until Octo-
ber subject to the call of the Rev. E. L.
sStoddard, president of the Hill district.
