that poetical women are very rare.
Wagner, however, returns the kings
confidence, and says he has found such
woman-the wife of friend. No
doubt this is Cosima Bulow, whom
Wagner later married.
In the evening of that selfsame day
the king walked along the jessimine
paths to the hearing of his song. He
rowed across the lake to the opposite
shore, and believed he heard the sing
ing of the swans. 1t was a mistake.
As he approached the shore he heard
melodious human voice. He could
distinguish the words-it was the song
of the wondrous fower-his song,
which said the wondrous flower is the
purest love.
This is my song," the king cried,

lawn to the castle, where delicate
woman's figure appeared at an open
window. The moon was shining, and

He confirmed this and asked her to
come down. The young lady inn

CHAPTER XIII

CHAPTER XIII
Il Is something worth living for TO
be perfectly happy even for one day.
Lady Lynne was even more fortunate;
she was perfectly and entirely happy
during the golden months she
passed with her husband at Rosy
Glynn. She had said TO herself that
she would make him happy,-and she
did so. She studied his every wish
and every thought and yet, wonder
full to relate never wearied him, but
left him always longing for her to
speak again.
Nor were those quiet weeks all
ri, en- to love making; Inez impaired
TO ner husband some Of those am
bilious hopes and daring wishes she
had formed for him He listened,
lost In wonder al the talents and
beauty Of the young girl he had made
his wife At first her views ard
plans dazzled him. but after time,
he took great delight in them, and
then longed eagerly for their compile
ton.
Il should never have dreamed Of be-
coming a politician but for you, Inez,
he said TO her one morning. you have
so completely fred my ambition, that
shall never know rest again until
have obtained some. at least of the
fame you predict for me. "
Then. for the first time, Philip
Lynne felt it was fortunate for him
that his gentle cousin had rejected
him she would not have urged him
on such a career as the one which his
brilliant. beautiful wife painted In
such glowing colors. He remembered
the time, in the annals-of his family,
when the Lynnes had been second to
none In the kingdom. Why should
ne not restore even more than It's
ancient glory TO the name? Let him
but once get into parliament, and
then England should hear of the
Lynucs again.
His wlfe's plan was the surest aud
safest to follow They must keep to
their original intention OF going to
London. and there they must win

the Job of administering a government
Of four hundred millions of people, who
may be as turbulent as any other peo
pie when occasion arises, is not a thing
to be sought after; especially is it not
an aspiration by European nations,
who may at any time have all they can
do at home. The situation is adequately
presented in the reply recently made in
the House of Commons of England by
the Under Secretary to Lord Beresford
who criticized the Governments atti-
tude upon the Yangtse River. The
secretary said: England has interests
in China, but 1t has a thousand times
greater interests in Europe and it must
look to these first This is the real
status of every nation of Europe who
Is in the East to-day; the only trouble
with some of them is that they don't
know it.
"You must know" continued Mr..
Vow. that very recently a great
change has come over the face of things
In the Orient. The Chinese people are
waking up. They have been in a slum-
Der Of centuries, but they find that
they have now got to face new condi-
tions which have been thrust upon
them by the enlightenment of the
Western world. Japan was prompt to
see this, and she has applied Western
benefits to herself. She utilized these
in the late war. 1t Is a hard way for
science and knowledge to be injected
into a nation but it is nevertheless
effective; you have heard of great fires
building cities; and marvellous bene-
fits may be acquired to the defeated
nation from the most disastrous of
wars.
THE Chinese need to be taught. They
are hungering now for a knowledge of
western ways They want western ma
chinery, appliances, methods. No coun-
try can furnish these in such a degree
as the United States. Your invention
and engineering is in advance of those
of any other nation. The country to
conquer China-or rather I should say
convert China-is not Russia. in many
respects nearly as dark as itself, but
the United States, with all it's marvels
of mechanics and its ingenuity in turn
ing the forces of nature to the uses Of
man. In such a conquest China eX-
tends the welcome hand, for it is one
which would raise our people to a
higher plane, which would lift up the
individual as well as the nation, for
as chain is no stronger than its

Mr. Vow talks vfvaciously He has
an incisive. direct style. which might
be expected TO belong more 10 the busi-
ness man than to the diplomat IT
should be called The Wake Up of
China. - he asserted. referring to Lord
BeresfOrd's book. His LOrdship was
sent out by the Chambers of Commerce
of England to investigate the country
from the standpoint Of British trade,
it's existing status and it's possibilities,
and no doubt he performed his mission
well. But l do not think even his con-
clusions justify his report taking the
title which has been given it. 1t is
folly to talk Of China breaking up
What is it going to break up into? The
Chinese empire contains a population
of four hundred millions of people.
They are race strong in traditions,
exceedingly set in their ways, who have
a most fdOlatrOus esteem for their own
Government and its forms, and who
would resist to the death the imposition
upon them of any other government by
a foreign power History has shown
US exhibitions Of whole people rising
en- masse and rejecting the yoke Of a
foreign nation, and we know that no
struggles are so desperate. A hundred
years go you had an instance of it in
the Spanish at ZaragOssa; Joseph Bon
apartes throne could never be safe to
him with those who should have been
his subjects so resistful to his rule as
were the Spanish people. No doubt
there are nations who have gained a
foothold in the East who want Chinese
territory. but they would be fooled if
they took it, and they would be pre-
vented from taking it, not alone by
China, but by each other, for they are
exceedingly jealous over an advantage
Gained hV in the country which
the other does not share. 1t is for this
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-09

weakest link, so 1t ought TO be an
axiom of administrative science that
government is never superior to the
welfare of its humblest subject. The
exaltation of the Chinese must be eff
fected and this must be done through
the practical avenues of his material
advancement The Chinese are quiet.
intelligent and exceedingly industrious.
Honesty with them is a kind of rel1-
gion. Bret Harte miSrepresented us
hugely in the Heather Chinee. 1 am
sorry to have to believe that the euchre
trickster of Poker Flat, who had
On the ends of his fingers, which tapered, :
What is frequent in tapers-thats wax.
mas erected in the American mind an
ideal of Chinese character. There are
tricksters among us, to be sure, but the
Chinese as a people are honest. Joe
GOetz a German-American, who owns
this building, owns also about half of
Chinatown. He lends a great deal of
money to the Chinese merchants. 1
understand he has now about $780,,
900 loaned out among them. 1 will war
rant that for not a dollar he has
loaned to Chinese has he scrap of pa
per to show He does not require it;
it is not customary among Chinese to
give such. A Chinese asks Mr.. Goetz
for a loan of $1,000; ne wants 1t at
per cent for six months. All right; he
gets it. That is the end of that part
of the transaction. At the end of the
six months the merchant goes to him
and gives him his money and interest.
Among the Chinese the word of bOr-
rover is his bond. I do not believe that
Mr.. Goetz deals with other nationalt-
ties in the same manner.
This leads me to say that a vast op-
portunity now lies open to the Ameri-
cans in the Orient. You are most ag-
gressive people for trade when you once
get started. If you would pursue the
methods of trade getting among the
Chinese in China that you employ
among yourselves, the country would
be at your feet in few years. We are
not poor nation; we have among US
the accumulated wealth of thousands of
years of continuous nationality. We
have gold to buy and we have domin-
ion over a region of the earth's surface
inferior to no like scope in undeveloped
resources. The greatest opportunity
which exists on the globe to-day for a
vast aggregate of people is open to the
Americans in China. Now is the time;
heretofore the minds of our people were
not prepared to receive you; now they
are. / remember only very recently
that half dozen American business
men went to China on pleasure trip.
They had no notion of doing business,
but they had entree into the higher and
official element of the country and
managed to get acquainted with some
of our merchants. When they returned
to the United States they had contracts
aggregating over $1,000, 900.
And, indeed" continued Mr.. Vow, Il

cans are turning their attention to
China. Through my brother-in-laW,

CAMBRIDGE. June 22.-Yale turned up with a
characteristic Eli trick this afternoon, and. al
though regarded as easy for Harvard in face
OF the great game the Crimson has been playing
OF late. won the game after one of the csanes
and fastest games ever seen at Soldiers Field
1t was evident from the first that the game was
to be battle between the pitchers. and It is
hard to say which came Off ahead. While the
Yale men either struck out or put up easy f1es
as evidenced by the small number OF Harvard s
assists. the Cambridge players peggsd the ball
with a vehemence that would have meant a
high score II the bal had gone anywhere ex-
cept right at some Ell fielder. Both pitchers,
however. gave great exhibitions.
In the first inning FitZ raised the Crimson
stands to enthusiasm by striking out the first
