pear as the colonies become stronger

CHATTER v.-(continued.l

After he had gone, Mrs. Adams pro-
posed a walk in the lovely garden,
and Hyde hoped then to obtain few
words with her. But Mrs. Smith ac-
companied them, and Hyde found no
opportunity to get word in on his
own affairs, and then. suddenly, as
they turned into the main avenue,
Doctor Moran and Cornelia appeared.
Quite as suddenly, Mrs. Adams
OWNED the motive Of Hyde's early
visit; she opened her eyes wide, and
looked at him with a comprehension
so clear and real that Hyde was COM
PEELED to answer and acknowledge
her suspicion by a look and move
ment quite as unequivocal. Yet this
instantaneous understanding contain
ed neither promise nor sympathy and
he could not tell whether he had gain
ed friend or simply made a con-
tession.
Doctor Moran was evidently both
astonished and annoyed He stepped
out OF his carriage and Joined Mrs.
Adams, but kept Cornelia by his side,
so that Hyde was compelled to escort
Mrs. Smith. And Cornelia, beyond a
very civil Good morning, sir" gave
him no sign.
When the party reached the steps
before the house door. though Mrs.
Adams certainly invited him to re-
main, he had come to the conclusion
that he was just the one person not
wanted at that time; yet as he had
plenty OF self-command he completely
hid beneath a gay and charming man
ner the chagrin and disappointment
that were really tormenting him, and
until he was out of sight and hearing
he rode slowly, with the easy air of a
man was only sensitive to the
beauty of his surroundings, and thor
oughly enjoying them.
He kept this pace till quite outside
the precincts of Richmond Hill, then
he struck his horse with a passion
that astonished the animal and the
next moment shamed himself. Then he
began to talk to himself in those clip
teal, unfinished sentences, which the
inner man understands, and so thor
'oughly finishes. Such reflections,
blended with pet names and apologies
to his horse, brought him in sight Of
the Van Heemskirk house, and he in
stantly felt how good his grandmoth-
er's sympathy would be- He saw her
at the door, leaning over the upper
half and watching his approach.
Il knew it was ,thee!" she cried.
''Now, then, what is the matter with
thee? Disappointed, vert thou last
uight?"
"No-but, this morning have been
badly used; and am angry at it."
Then he told her all the circumstances
of his visit tosRichmond Hill, and she
listened patiently, as was her way
with all complainers
In too great haste are thou" were
her first words. "No worse think of
Cornelia, because little she draws

that has been the way with thee all

COMPETITION IN CHINESE
 WIVES

A decision which is attracting con- siderable attention in the Pacific coast states to the south will probably have a marked effect on the market price of Chinese wives. It was held by an of- fcer of the immigration service at Portland last week that a woman who came from China, contrary to the pro- visions of the Chinese exclusion act, could remain in this country should she at once upon her arrival become, ac- cording tothe laws Of the state in which she landed, the wife Of a man legally resident iu the United States. This de- cision, if it shall be sustained, will per init a Chinaman who is lawfully a resi- dent of the United States to get a wife m the Flower Kingdom and have her admitted to residence in the United States.
 Ifthis ruling shall be held to be the law it will cause gloom among t-ose Chinese residents of San Francisco ana other American cities who have mar riageable daughters. For many years the demand for Chinese wives iu this country has been almost exclusively supplied from the natives of san Fran cisco and a few other coast towns, and the supply has been so limited that the price of a pretty Chinese bride has ad- vanced in the last decade from about $50 to more than 5000, and it is said that almost twice the latter sum has been paid for a helpmeet possessing in an exceptional degree the particular standards of beauty that are most pleas ing to the Oriental eye, Now that there is to be free trade in celestial brides and the almond eyed maiden of local birth will have to sell iu compett- tion with the made in China" article these prices are likely to drop back to something Ike those that prevailed in the old day.
 The fall that is sure to come in the Chinese wife market will be a vel comed dispeusatiou to many a sad ard lonesome mongolian who has been com peIled to smother his latent c0ujuGaI affection because, on account of the greed of the Chinese daughter owning trust of san Francisco, a wife had be- come a luxury, like the steam yacht and private car of the Occidental, to be enjoyed only by Chinese Rocke'elIers.
