His RuIinr Passion.

A little old man, STOPPING and white
haired, with a rusty hat and long used
coat, was bending over the rows of
volumes in a dusty, antique bookstore
not many miles from East Twenty
third street the other day. There was
about him something Of the flavor Of
old time books and last century litera-
ture. He might have stepped out Of
one Of those old engrayings which show
shabby collectors absorbed in their
treasures. while small boys pick their
pockets from behind, pockets already
well drained, though, by the collectors
ruling passion.
Suddenly he picked up a book eager
ly, blew off the dust and pOked his
nose between the yellow leaves. A
young man, himself a lover Of old
books, who had been watching the old
fellow with Interest and a certain lit
erary affection, asked almost timidly,
Have you made a dndT
ash, you young foolw said the mildold
collector" Then IN a whisper he add
ed: Il can get this book here for 81

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Copyright, 1901, by J. r. RathOm

QuOng Hing, accountant in a tea
store on South Clark street, waited at
the depot of the Santa Fe railroad with
fear in his knees and anxiety sizzling
in the neighbOrhOOd of his carefully
creased and braided cue top. The
flower of his heart, little Nah 'Ng, was
coming along toward him in a tourist
sleeper, and in ten minutes, if the
word of these red capped devils in
charge of the platforms was to be re-
lied on, she would be in his arms.
Chicago was a long way from the
willow huts of PO lie Wah, on tribu
tary of the Yangtse, and 'Ng's head
and 'Ng's little slanting eyes must have
been in a continuous whirl from the
minute she had given her life into the
keeping of these white people who ran
the steamboats, and the trains and
hustled you from one to the other like
a package of tea.
But a telegram from good friends in
San Francisco had relieved him from
worry in this direction. Indeed, his
present condition of mind was caused
more by her rapid approach than any
thing else, for QuOng Hing had called
her to him by false pretenses, and now,
as the time for the meeting drew near,
he was afraid his secret might not
stay long in his own keeping. Well,
tomorrow they would be married. and
half Chinatown would be at the we'd
ding feast and rejoice. After that he
would have to take his chance.
The whole trouble had started from
a silly old village crone whose hus-
band had followed Chinese Gordon to
the walls of Peking and whose gal
liant death i'll the face of the enemy
had been drooled out to all the young
maidens in the village through the
long years that came after.
MARRY a warrior, children, if you
would be proud of your husband; a
man of blood, whose enemies quail be-
fore him. That is the kind to bring
joy to your hearts, my little ones"

His heart remained true to the little
girl at home, but her letters, sent
through the village writer in answer
to his passionate epistles, still showed
that her faith in the blessing to come
with warrior husband was mistaken.
One night QuOng Hing sat down on
his bunk at the back of the store and
began to think hard. Was he not a
warrior after all? To be sure, not
soldier seeking blood or warding off
the sword thrust, but warrior just
the same, marching out when the cleo
trio lights fiared up and conquering
sin. Then QuOng Hing kicked off his
shoes and went to bed with the thought
simmering in his mind.
Next morning he went out in his
brand new Salvation uniform and
sought a photographer. You catchum
picture likee me? he said to the cam
era man. 81 velly much Oblige you
fixem allie samee pleesman."
So he stood in front of the camera
and gazed into it with a stern and un-
compromising air. The photograph was
a thing to be proud of. He sent it off
in time to catch the next mail and with
it letter to little Nah 'Ng.
"My hearts joy" he wrote. you see
by the picture that l am at last &
great warrior. Each nightfall l go out
with my army and the banners and the
drums. We march the streets of this
land and win great victories. Our
army is the Sal Va TiOn and our battle
cry is a strange heather word, Halle
Lu Jah.' So come, my pearl. Fly to
me as you promised under the willow
tree. | tell my good friend Nam Hing
LOOng in HankOw to pay the taels for
your passage ON the great ship, and in
San Francisco are those who will
watch and send you safely through
the strange land to where 1 wait.
Come, then, to your warrior"
So this was how QuOng Hing came
| to be waiting at the depot He saw
the locomotive swing around the curve
into the maze of tracks. Then, just as
he was bracing himself and brushing
the final specks from his uniform. he
heard the familiar beat of the big drum
and, looking behind him, saw all the
bonneted lassies of the Clark street
corps drawn up in line to welcome the
| bride.
QuOng Hing said "Glory Hallelujah'
under his breath, and he never said il
more fervently in his life. In another
minute Nah 'Ng was in his arms, the
lassies waving their tambourines about
the couple and the one eyed cOlOred
man beating the big drum as if hC
meant to break the parchment or die
in the attempt.
The little slant eyed innocent will
the peach blossom cheeks was the
prOudest woman in the world at tina

came about that when Quong Hing, |
who kept accounts for the maker of
candles and in the evening titled the
hOrseradish patch beyond the village,
sought out little Nah 'Ng for a wife,
she fiouted him and stubbornly vowed
she would marry none but a brave sol
dier.
Il beg Of you, my heart" he said,
"look about you; our land is not now
at war"
Then she answered: "GO thou to a
foreign land and make war. You shall
be a warrior just the same"
Soon he got letter from his brother
in America, and in his despair he
made up his mind to go. The night
before he went off in the sampan down
to Hankow or his way to Shanghai
he bade her goodby under the willow
by the we'll 'Ng's mother was with
them, but she did not chide when they
embraced and cried over the parting
Wonderful things happened in Amer
lea, and a sOn-in-law with 5000 might
grow oct of this.
He pleaded earnestly with the little
girl. When he came home with a for
tune would she marry him? But she
only blushed and looked on the ground.
''No, no; it is impossible. When you
are great soldier l will come to you,
even If it be a million miles. But /
want a warrior like Go Lens man."
Quong Hing thought a few things
about Go Len, but his thoughts are
totally unfit for publication. He sailed
down the river at daybreak, broken
hearted, caught the big steamer at
/ Woosung and left his native land be-
hind him.
Three years later the raw village lad
had become a trim, intelligent member
Of his colony In Chicago's Chinatown.
Quick wit and an aptitude for figures

WHAT HE HAD re 80.
Hard Work Ahead for "Privats" Johr
Allen Of Mississippi.

Private" John Allen, who represent
ed a Mississippi district in Congress
for several years, but who was left
at home two years ago by constitu-
ents who thought he was not serious
enough to be a successful legislator,
was in Washington recently on bust
ness connected with the st. Louis ex-
position, writes a correspondent Of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. While in Con-
gress John Allen was known as "the
wit of the House" During his last
visit to Washington he was dining
with some friends at a downtown ho-
tel. The hour was late, and the con-
versation dragged. Private" Allen
began yawning. Finally he stretched
out both arms, and with long drawn
yawn he said: well, gentlemen,
must go to my hotel and go to bed, for
| have some hard work to do in the
morning"
Knowing Mr.. Aliens aversion to
work of any kind, one of the party
said:
why, John, what work have you to
do in the morning."

have to get up"

went, anc appealed frantically to this
cool-headed man beseechirg him, for
heavens sake, to tell them where the
stairs could be found.
Nor did he fail to direct them, every
one. even while he pushed on to the
next flight.
Up, up, he went, still finding smoke
circling along the halls, through
which women staggered, shrieking
their appalling distress.
1t was a terrifying picture.
There were comical elements in.
jected into it, of course, but no one
| had the heart to laugh.
Charlie knew in his heart dread
full calamity was impending-n nothing
short of a miracle could save the
great structure now, and the days Of
miracles appear to be past.
Perhaps scores of human lives
would be sacrificed to the demon of
flre-mostly helpless women, en-
ployes or guests, who had been view
ing the parade from the upper win
dows.
The mere fact that such draught
passed through the halls from these
open windows would hasten the total
demolition of the whole structure and
make it more certain.
Had Charlie no sacred duty OF his
own to perform, he would have gladly
devoted all of his time toward effect
ing the rescue of these terrified girls.
AS it was, he could only think of
Airline.
Her lovely face was before his eyes
and seemed to plead with him to
make haste.
The smoke was growing even more
dense, and he had to push close tc
the doors to distinguish the numbers
in order to make sure that he was on
the right floor
At last this knowledge came tc
him.
Tne opportunity was in his grasp
Here the same conditions seemed to
abound-there was smoke in plenty,
frenzied maids and flying figures
darting through it all like spectres.
Charlie was somewhat out of breath
as result of his steady climb, but
otherwise in good physical condition.
He had the number of Arline's
rooms well in his mind-the house
had been crowded, and these were the
best at her service, though the clerk
had promised her suite near the
McKinleys after that day.
What If he could have made a mis-.
take in any. way? The wretched con
sequences almost paralyzed him to
even think of it.
Eagerly he had scanned each flying
or crUuching female figure he met, in
the hope that he might thus discover
| the one he sought.
But as yet he had not found her.
Even in that smoke-laden atmos-
phere he knew he could not mistake
her figure, while one note from her
voice must have thrilled him through
and through.

A church. monastery and palace

As these monks were expelled with

John w. is credited with this, but he

Of Gaunt), proceeded to wreck it finan-
cially by starting the immense struct-

1851, the ruinous work went on, i'm

Afterward the earthquake Of 1855,
