Perfectly disciplined, the lads on the field began to play, their wondering parents looking on astonished at the cooness of the teachers. Up came the rioters. As they reached the outer circle of the field the
 brothers stepped forward. One of them bat
 in hand. commanded halt and the great mob, amazed at the strange sight before them, actually obeyed him.
 Then he talked with quiet eloquence and in sentences brought down to the simple
 understanding of his listeners. He did not speak of God or Christianity. But he did tell them something about the game he was playing. He said that it was a miracle worker, a strange and wonderful thing that was the whole secret of the marvellous suc- cess of the white people. It was the seed that had planted great British warships and armies all over the world. What had it not done even in a little time at Fang Soc? The villagers could testify. Were not the faces of the children rosy? Had not every lad that played the marvellous game become stronger and brighter and better fitted to go to the great examination cells at Canton and win honors for himself and
 his parents?
 And he and his brother were giving to China that great secret which had made their own empire so mighty and which in time was going to make China mighty too. It was a talisman also. Those foolish men with the knives and the torches could burn and kill common people, but let them beware. The moment they touched 8 cricket player they were doomed to ter rible destruction.
 The villagers nodded their heads The mob stood sullen and silent moment as the brothers deliberately turned their backs to them and, slowly walking across the field proceeded with the game.
 Then the rioters swept on. And by nightfall Pang Soc was in peace again.
