HIS Life For IA Hand.

In little town or village in Glouces-
tershire there is church which
contains the mortal remains Of one OF
the old Crusaders. In moldering eff
figy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloquence is imaged
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image Is bereft of one of the
lands, and the story runs that the
Crusader. while fighting in the east,
was made prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave a newly welded
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss.
"The love Of woman Is as fieeting
BREATH" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. swell, then,
replied Saladin, ~ Will promise on my
oath as a soldier that II this mans
wife will cut of one Of her hands ant
send 1t to me I will set him free tt
90 to her." BY tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and she, II
all piteousness for him who was hel
lover and her lord, caused her hand t.
be cut off and sent it to the sultan
who kept his word and set the Cru
sader free.-Notes and Queries.

APPEALS TO VICEROYS
Imperial Decree Calls for Ven.

flicted by Powers.
DowAGER EMPRESS IS DEFIANT.
Chinese Minister at London Urges Sal
isbury To Adhere TO the Pro-
posal Of the Gear.

London, Sept 5.-No official pro-
nouncement is yet forthcoming here in
regard to the decision of the powers
concerning China, but the consensus of
opinion continues suggestive Of COM
promise on the proposals now under
consideration. In the meanwhile, there
is little authoritative indication that
the dowager empress is ready to treat
for peace even If the allied powers
reach an agreement in regard to the
best means of opening negotiations.
On the contrary, many rumors gath
cred at Shanghai, suggest that she is
carrying on her anti-fOreign policy
with increased zeal.
Latest Imperial Decree.
The latest reported imperial decree
from Tai-Yuan-Fu Is said to be def
ant and unrepentant and to contain
the statement that the court fled lest
the emperor might be killed during the
fighting between the Boxers and
Christians, and thus leave no one to con-
tinue the ancestral worship" The
decree Is also said to exhort a union
of the viceroys TO 'avenge the injuries
inflicted on China by the powers"
The Chinese minister here, Sir Chih
Chin Lo Feng Luh, admits the correct
ness, in a general sense, of the cable
message sent to him, according to
Shaghai advices, by Ii Hung Chang,
in which the latter is quoted as say
ing: "Our st. Petersburg minister
has persuaded Russia to leave Pekin.
You are useless if you cannot persuade
England"
Memorial to Salisbury.
The Chinese minister here also says
he has sent powerful memorial to
Lord Salisbury urging him to adhere
to the Russian proposal to withdraw
the allied forces from Pekin, as he, Sir
Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, believes ii
will pave the way for speedy set
Element. The minister also said the
Chinese people were sick of war, that
the genuineness of Ii Hung Chang's
plenipotentiary powers was undoubted
and that Ii Hung Chang was working
in full sympathy with the emperor,
dowager empress and privy council, all
of whom favored peace. The minister
added that he, himself, was still In
communication with the Chinese gov
eminent, whose authority remained en-
tire.
