In the seventeenth century. IL nearly
square and IL surrounded by wall
which IL over fourteen miles long The
Chinese city was originally suburb
and was lnclosed In walls In the six

shape. the walls somewhat lower than
those of the other city and measuring
ten miles In length. In the heart Of the
Tntnr city Is the inclosure known as
the Forbidden City" the home of the
emperor. to which no foreigners are
admitted. Around the Forbidden City"
is IL large inclosure known as the I'm
periul city, also having high walls and
gates. Foreigners are allowed to pass
freely through this section OF the city
Three lakes are included In the In
closures which in winter time are used
for skating parties by the imperial
household.
Numerous temples adorn the two sec
tions OF the city representing Budd-
hism. Confucianism. MOhammedunism
and the large number Of idols Worship
ed by the Chinese. There il no foreign
concession In Pekin. but the legations
are situated near together In the SOUTH
ern part Of the Tatar city They were
originally fine Chinese residences. but
have been rebuilt to suit the tastes of
their present occupants. The Roman
Catholics erected three catheiruls, but
have been forced to abandon one. as II

or,s,. Of v,.,..ns Card.

THE use of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs.
Van Koert Schuyler. in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door OF great houses
kept a visitors book. In which he
scrawled his idea of the names Of those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection 1t was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman. a scion Of the nobility from
the Faubours st. Germain. was
shocked to md that his porter kept
10 poor 4 register Of the names Of
those who had called upon him. The
names. badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy Ink. suggested
to him the idea Of writing his own
name upon slips Of paper or bits Of
cardboard In advance Of calling upon
his neighbors. lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands of their
porters. This custom soon became
generally established"

Mexican Railroad Finances.

The annual report OF the Mexican
Central railway has some significant
figures well worth the study of NIL
those who wish to invest In Mexican
securities and Industries. The total
gross gain for 1880 was $780,. .122. The
bulk OF this advance on the Receipts
of 1893 was made up OF an increase In
local freight and local passenger busi-
ness. The former showed n gain OF
$1.175.6SO and the latter 1900. .554. H.
ternntiOnal freight showed Il gain Of
1920, O,2GB and international passenger
business OF $5O3. 1t will he seen that
the local business was the chief factor
In putting the Mexican Central where
1t could meet all It's interest without
drawing upon the bnnked-up subsidy
fund as In previous years. The year
1900 was banner year for the gov
ernment Of Mexico and for the Central

CHAPTER ".

Mr.. Saville's answer has come. It
is not in the least what Barbara ex-
pected. 1t is a very short letter, and
out Of it falls a cheque for two hun
dred pounds. And there Is nothing
about her engagement at all, except q
casual allusion to the danger OF flirta-
tions that can end In nothing. And
Barbara Is to come out to Tasmania at
once, by the next steamer that sails
after she receives the letter. The two
hundred pounds is to purchase an out

which is possibly more lengthy. and
may contain more information than
the communication to Barbara, in
which her father only says he is lonely
and wants her to manage his house

Mrs. Saville looks keenly at her
niece as she sees her reading the let

And Sebastian watches Barbara, too.

Barbara says. lifting her great, trou-

that this command is only to separate
her from George.
Mrs Saville folds up her own letter.
"Yes, SO your father says. He thinks
you are old enough now to be at the
head of his house; but we will miss
you, dear. And l see he expects you
to start at once. He mentions 'the
