"Up you get." said Madison, hoist
ing her on to her legs. You must,
and II you don't and at once, know
whare that knife's kept which,"
On this, with a flinging carriage
and awful air Of distress, the unhap-
py woman moved down the staircase
in ghastly silence, Pope and the sea-
men following closely. She opened
the door Of room that might have
been the parlor, and pointing to a
great cupboard that stood out from
the wall like that article or. furniture
they call a wardrobe, she said In q
whisper, you'll find it there" and in
stantly sank speechless upon the floor
in kind of fit.
Pope rushed to the cupboard. 1t
was locked, of course; they pried the
door open in minuate, and there on
three shelvees was arranged guam
tity of handsome, massive plate,
mostly of old pattern. They found
tableclcthes and quilts and very rap
idly they made up the plate into three
weighty loads. none, however. too
heavy for a stout fellow to carry with
ease, and Pope took care not to leave
a mustard-spoon behind him.

There was not a bush behind which
the three could conceal themselves.
But since the approaching men were
plain in view, the three also must
have been seen by them. 1t was use
less to turn aside.

He set his teeth and they trudged

CHAPTER III.
The Burglary.


Twelve days had passed since the
foregoing. Approaching Margate roads
was small sloop with great main
sail swelling at her mast, which was
stayed in the most unsightly manner
aft.
Crystal and Pope stood together
near the long tiller over which Bobbin
was hanging, gazing at the scene
around them.
II have been turning the matter
over, Crystal" said Pope, "and I'm
certain our best chance lies in bring
ing up on Margate and sending the
boat round to Dumpton Gap to wait
for us after we've landed. II this
sloop comes within sight of the
Families she'll be sending boat"
You're right in keeping out of sight
OF that there Families, gents" ex-
claimed Bobbin. Il don't know a ship
of-war where q brighter lookout's
kept"
Presently the sloop was within an
easy pull Of Margate town. Here Cap
tain Pope brought her to stand, and
the boat was launched. Pope and Crys-
tai had talked long and earnestly. All
was settled and nothing remained but
to go ashore, get the plate, and sail
away for Hamburg.
There were three men and Captain
Pope; these were to go in the boat,
leaving Crystal to see to the sloop,
whose canvas they had snugged for
him. The three were to plunder poor
Miss Hornby. and Captain Pope. her
cephew, was one of them.
When the boat reached the shore
he stepped out. and the hired men.
one Of them named Steve merely, the
other called Madison. followed.
It was drawing on to midnight when
Pope and his men came to a gate in a
tall hedge. Pope pushed open the
gate. and the three walked swiftly to

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new

and who is reasonably satisfied with

of Defiance Cold Water Starch be

is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand.
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds

REAL POPULATION OF CHINA.
Recent Census Shows Il to BE About
426. Az 900.


Some doubt has been thrown by re-
cent travellers upon the correctness
OF the accepted notion that China is
a land OF teeming population, says the
Philadelphia. Record. Il has been as
serted that the human hives along the
seaboard and the great rivers of
China ought not to be taken as a
basis for estimates. that IN those parts
of the empire which lie of the main
routes Of trafic (the natural and ar
tiflcial water courses) the population
OF China is comparatively thin.
A census recently taken by the
Pekin government for the purpose of
assessing taxes to meet the indemnity
payments seems, however. to prove
the accuracy Of the Oldest estimates.
The census shows that the eighteen
provinces of China proper contain
4O7.7 1877 1906 inhabitants; that Man.
churia has 100000 and Mongolia
Tibet and Chinese Turkestan little
over 100000. The total population
Of the empire is 426.447.325. according
to this enumeration. The absolute
reliability OF Asiatic statistics Is quea
toned: nevertheless. the agreement
Of the results Of the census with the
accepted estimates Is 30 close as tc
invite confidence. The statement that
the Chinese empire contains one-third
OF the human race will hereafter be
regarded more than ever a. an ap

Immediately, amid a great noise Of the
rending of bolts and the splintering
of wood, the door flew open. There
was no light in the night to flow In
through the doorway, and the passage
was in pitch darkness. Pope. though
not q professional burglar, had pro-
vided for this. He pulled out of his
pocket a little engine whose invention
belonged to that age. 1t consisted OF

trigger leaped a clear flame sprang.
At this flame the Captain lighted a

by! her sevcnty-one years could not
support the shock of burglary, and
she lay as dead In q swoon In her

Pope dragged down the window

then, casting q glance at the lean
high perched nose that shot out be-
twixt the closed eyes and the disor-
tiered frills Of the nightcap. he seized
the candlestick and ran to the door.
Voices were to be heard upstairs.

we won't hurt you. Put on q putti-

Bring her down." roared Pope.
He held high his candlestick and
there descended narrow. wooden un-

moss and her eyes shone like fire.
