MATS promise to do all in her power tc
check Ii Kean's unfortunate affection
Though exactly what she could do she
really didn't know the old philosopher
was compelled to be content. Ii Kean
was not banished to her relatives. and
she continued to carry sore little heart
In her bosom, and to place the choicest
offerings OF the season in Sho MATS
apartment
This episode opened Sho MATS ewes
to more mysteries than one. Tho
thought OF love once put into her head
and her own feeling for Lii Xii wore lis
mask OF friendship in vain. And the
shreds OF Its disguises'were torn awav
not long after when LII Yuen Wv.
having broken the ice of such discus-
sion with Sho Mai, ventured to sneak
with her OF an alliance which he had
planned for Ii Xii with maiden of tho
village How she wept that night
mus did the venerable PHILOSOPHER
avenge his daughter better than he
knew, and another heart in that little
home began to ache for love. Sho Mai
had left her fathers house to learn Tho
lessons OF life, and they were being
taught her in way of which she had
not dreamed.
Amidst all these troublesome shoals
on which hearts are wrecked Ii Xii
sailed meanwhile with favoring breeze.
oho MATS great eyes looking into his
would knock upon his hearts door
once In awhile, but the feeling was but
transitory, and Of course he knew not
why 1t came. So he said to himself
that he loved Tien better than anv

pleasant fields, and before their eyes a
beautiful prospect was extended. They
saw the city of Teng Chow set high upon
the hills, and the walls OF great tenn
pie, wherein for thirty centuries and
more the image Of the mighty god, Chun
Wong, has claimed the alteration Of the
people. They reached at length small
dwelling. set in garden, and there in
the door stood pretty Ii Kean, the
daughter Of Ii Yuen Wy, to welcome
them Her brothers long absence had
made her somewhat anxious about him.
and she greeted him with every token
OF sisterly affection, while she looked
out OF the corners of her handsome eyes
at the strange youth who had come to
be their guest.
Passing within, Sho Mai was brought
into the presence Of Ii Yuen Wy. A
venerable old man he was, whose broad,
high brow and intelligent eyes pro-
claimed him thoughtful student Of
books and of men. A word from Ii Xiii
explained Sho MATS coming, and the
scholar greeted her with cheerful hospi-
tally. Food was placed before them,
and deft-handed Ii Kean was cup-bearer.
Afterwards a chamber was prepared for
Sho Mai. and in this quiet refuge the
tired maiden slept, almost without a
moments wakefulness, until the follow
ing morning.

two students bent to their tasks with
energy, while Ii Kean ordered the af-
f.. Of the household with prudence
bcJcld her years. Though Sho Mai and
Il XII were both intent upon the same
prize, there was no jealousy in theil
striving. Each assisted the other, She
Mai supplementing the fervor anc
strength OF the young mans mind with
the subtlety and grace Of her own. Ii
Xiii, who had been held the foremost
scholar Of the college, now shared the
honor, and felt that he had won friend
who was worth the sacrifice.
He was young man Of 50 open and SC
pure mind that this daily association
with him brought none of that embar.
rassment which Sho Mai had dimly
feared.
In fact, she was far less at her ease
with Ii KeRn, whose heart she had
failed to fathom. This poor girl was OF
most romantic nature, and she soon
passed the point where her sentiments
were uncertain TO herself. She knew
that she was deeply in love with this
gentle and beautiful young stranger,
and she did not fail to suffer in perceiv-
ing that the answering sentiment was
only friendship. 1t is strange how much
OF pathos can inhere in situation so
ridiculous. Little Ii Kean grew thin
and pale. She could have borne I'M
kindness more easily than this calm
friendship, which was SO palpably itself
and not love.
Sho Mai was not UNCONSCIOUS of the
efforts which Ii Kean made to win her
regard; she was ignorant only of the
feeling which inspired them. The
flowers, which never failed to deck her
chamber, pleased her, and she said so
with frankness which was much worse
than II she had not noticed them at all.
So Ii Kean was frequently in tears,
and she dropped until the eye Of her
father began to take note OF her condi-
ton. He was not so blind to the cause
OF 1t as was that cause herself and SO 1t
came about that an invitation arrived
from relation who lived In y city at
some distance, and Ii Yuen wy was Arm
IN urging his daughter to accept it.
This cost Ii Kean more tears. She in
sisted that the little household would
be wholly disarranged by he. going
which was unfortunately quite true
and she plead thousand such excuses
as come readily enough at such time.
Sho Mai and Ii Xiii took her side of the
question as openly as proper regard for
the wishes OF an elder would permit, and
altogether the old savant found himself
by difficulty which threat
ened to overtax his philosophy.
In despair he determined to take

lie didtso, and there ensued converse
ton which, all things considered, was
IS remarkable as we'll could be. For
The first time Sho Mai discovered that it
s not so easy to be man. In her sor-
'ow and perplexity she was tempted TO
confess her secret, and nothing but the
ntlexible determinations which she had
made to let nothing whatever move her
% such disclosure, prevented her from
loing so. 1t was situation in which,
naturally enough, she found her wits at
ault, and she could suggest nothing

Berlin, Germany, May 22.-The i'm
mortal Wagners birthday This event,
so notable to every German, was cele-
brated at the Royal Opera house to-
night by the performance Of one Of
his greatest operas, THE Flying Dutch
man" The rendition was wonderful
from beginning to end and the scenic
portions especially so. Both the Nor
weglan ana the Dutch ships as they
swung around on the stage tonight,

this year. The Royal orchestra has
several conductors; sometimes IT is Dr
Carl Mucke. sometimes Strauss, some-
times even D'Albert, and sometimes an
other fellow whose name | have never
been able to learn, but who, in my
opinlon, Is the best leader OF them all.
This young fellow Is usually listed for
stoh oneras as "rhe HuguenOts,
"Cavalleria," Carmen" ETC. operas
confirming lots Of Jamaica ginger and
melody. while the other leaders take
