the quivering metal with his bony hand
and creoned plaintive lullaby.
On the second night 1 awoke with a
frightened sob, as the great beam
swept again through the air and an

CHAPTER XIV.
EAfMILE.

The old ringer of the bell was stand
ing in the door Of the bell house as
came across the plaza to it. My boy
told him something of me, which made
him very friendly; to. my surprise, he
could speak some English. He had
been an old servant at the British Le-
CATION before receiving his present ap-
pointment, which was, to all native
eyes, most honorable one. He had OBJ
tained it through the influence of his
brother, General Ling.
1 remained with old Kysang from
that evening until the following night
at midnight, and as l look back on
them these hours we're by far the
darkest in all my Quelpartien ex-
perience Since Kim could not be
found, 1 must await his return. There
was nothing else to do-that is, unless
/ went to the King. This l determined
/ would not do for at least one more
night. I sent my boy again to Kim's
house to make sure that word would be
sent me upon Kim's arrival. He re-
turned affirming that my wish would be
obeyed, bringing also the information
that Kim's mother was afraid cf me-.
and that Kim was now away longer
than he had expected to be.
If Kim was delayed, for how long
would it be? l trembled to think that
Tuen might have entrapped the son as
he had the father! If so, was wasting
each moment I waited for him, and
would better go to the King this very
night. By force of will 1 decided not to
go until midnight of the following

sian Legation, where the King would
be with his Cabinet, throw myself at
his feet. and tell all.
And how did / live through the ter
rible hours intervening? In other cir
cumstances my stay Of thirty hours
within that bell house listening to the
tales of old Kysang would have been of
utmost interest. The house was, per-
haps, fifteen feet square and twenty
feet high 1t was latticed on theNsides,
and rooted overhead. In one corner
Kysang had a little room and a fire.
Here l lay, sleeping or smoking desper-
ately, while listening to the old mans
talk.
In the center of the house hung the
great bell of Keinning. 1t was twelve
feet high, and more than half as broad
at the mouth. 1t was made of a
strange composition of metals. chiefly
iron. 1t hung suspended from two
heavy beams and had no tongue, being
struck by great beam hung on heavy
chains. And when this beam was
drawn back by the old ringer and
crashed down upon the bell, a sound,
the like of which one will hear nowhere
else in the world, goes out over the

palace. But Oranoff could. ! must see

While we talked of the King, DeJnen
was quite his old self. but the moment
/ spoke of Oranoff he cringed and failed

words seemed to take the strength out
of him, but he saw 1 was in earnest
and he arose unsteadily and started 1or
the door.

him, don't let anybody know am mere

How 1 got those words out my lips

stopped him in his tracks. But after

again upon my bed.
PAX came in some time after DeJnen
had left and took away the empty
glasses. When ne came Ddck was
donning my best and brightest uni
form. PAX assisted me for time In
silence, but at last he could not contain
himself, and the poor lad burst into
tears, much to my surprise and to his
own great shame
I soon learned that the servants knew
of the attack on Oranoff. They were
all frightened; some had even left the
legation, fearing a mob would attack
us. But PAX was weeping because
Oranoff was injured, and more particu-
larly because no one knew what was
the matter with him.
Wont you get Hu Mok now?" he at
last said to me, drying his face on his
coat-tails. "Hu Mok. can tell what's
the matter with anybody" he went on,
uninterrupted; last moon man was

one knew what was the matter"

see Colonel Oranoff now"

was turning to leave for Kim's house,
when my boy came hurrying up. He
brought this letter:
Mr.. Robert Martyn-Your commission

some bad plotting going on here by

with you. You need not report at st.
Petersburg before the spring maneuvers
in May. Hastily but gratefully yours,
IVAN ORANOFF, Colonel.
This was dated the night of the i'm
perial funeral.
Then Oranof had not received my de-
ceptive note. He was out of the coun-
try; and there were five days in which
to get Dulcine from the tomb, and to
meet her father at Tsi. I hardly
paused to thank the man for obtaining
for me such an enviable commission in
that most wonderful body of horse in
the world. / know he was thinking as
much of Dulcine as of me in doing so.
/ told my boy where / wished to go
as nearly as 1 could, and he became my
guide. AT last he paused before door
and spoke to little girl playing near.
1t was Kim's house. The girl called
her mother, who told my boy that Kim
had gone away the night of the funeral
and would return home at stated times.
He had not come yet, and they did not
know when he would come. They were
happy in his fortunate appointment; but
the news of the fathers death, though
they had not seen him for two long
years, brought gloom which even the
sons promotion could not dispel.
Here was the end cf my last rope. L
could learn nothing further of the dis
appearance of Kim Ling

sent to his uncle, the old ringer of the
bell, and turned gloomily away.

/ stopped long enough to write note
to the Russian Minister, saying that
had gone on a little journey to the
mountains, and would return to Klein
ming in time to take the boat ON which
Colonel Oranoff and his daughter would
return from China. / also explained
that Dulcine had Joined her father at
Tsi and had gone to Chefu with him.
Had a scorpion crawled out of the
words, l could not have started mere
suddenly. The white. lie / was telling

thought and trembled.

blamed for doubling Dulcine here; but

regarding Oranoff, and wrong concern

With half an oath and half a sob l

to cling to the track cf the lost lad Kim,
and ! piodded on, trembling and ex-
hausted, to the bell house to wait.
By only one thing was cheered-
Colonel Oranoffs absence. The feeling

AIDS FELLOW PRISONER
TO PROLONG HIS LIFE
Albert T. Patrick. Under Sentence of
Death. Is Legal Adviser for An
other Convicted Murderer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-It has just
developed that Albert T. Patrick, the
lawyer who is in Sing Sing Prison un-
der sentence of death in the William
Marsh Rice case. but who now has an
appeal pending, recently aided fellow
prisoner in securing a temporary stay
which has served to prolong his life.
Patrick took up the affairs of Michael
Brusch, convicted of having killed Po-
liceman Enright, who, it was claimed,
caught Brusch in the act of committing
a burglary in Harlem last March.
Bruschs lawyers refused to appeal
from the verdict of murder and their
client was sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair. The prisoner soon began to
explain his affairs to the other pris-
oners and Patrick finally took them in
hand. He dictated a notice of appeal
which Brusch mailed to the District
Attorneys office as we'll as to the
court. This acted as stay against
the execution of sentence. but the ap-
peal shortly comes up for argument
and whether Patrick will be permitted
to appear as counsel is doubtful.

STEALS A MARCH ON
THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY

The Sheriff's deputies who attempted
yesterday morning to serve an attach
ment on the jewels, coin and stock GER
tifcates of Miss Lena S. Walton,
known as the Hetty Green of Nome,
were outwitted, and Miss Walton is
now on her way East. She says she
was warned by mental telepathy that
the attaches of the Sheriff's office, at
the instance of Max Gutter, a mining
man, intended to make service of a
writ of attachment for $4,000. Acting
on the mental warning she arose early,
shipped her belongings beyond the
reach of San Francisco's Sheriff and
awaited developments.
Miss Walton was not disappointed.
While she was at breakfast in the Lick
House a deputy sheriff arrived with
the expected writ Of attachment, but
found to his chagrin that there was
nothing left to attach.
Her preliminary hearing on a charge
of obtaining money by false pretenses
is set for November To- Gutter charges
that she sold him interests in claims
which she did not own. She says she
will be back to answer the charge and
also promises to make it warm for her
accuser.

MUST EXPLAIN
ITS REDUCTION
Charter Amendment to Com
pei Supervisors to Cut
School Budget by Items

President Roncovieri of the Board of
Education declared yesterday that one
section of the proposed charter amend
ment now being prepared to make the
School Department independent of the
Board of Supervisors in the fixing of
it's budget expenditures will provide
that the last named body shall have
power to make cuts in the appropria-
tions by specific items only and must
give good reasons for so doing. This
is designed to correct the existing Gus
tom of the Supervisors to reduce the
appropriations requested by the Board
of Education by a lump sum.
What prompted Roncovieri to insert
this proviso in the amendment was the
fact that last May the Board of Edu-
cation made a request for money to in
stall fire escapes in the schoolhouses
in compliance with the law, which
makes such installation mandatory.
The Supervisors did not cut out this
item, but by reducing the total
amount asked for, so crippled the de-
partment that no fire escapes can be
purchased, as the law requires.
Another proviso of the proposed
amendments is the limitation of the
annual amount to be expended for
schools. 1t was at first proposed to
limit the tax rate for the purpose,
but the same end will be accomplished
by some other. method not. yet made
public Roncovieri says the amend
ments have been submitted to compe-
tent attorneys, all Of whom are agreed
on their legality. They will be finally
submitted to Garret McEnerney for
his opinion.
Roncovferi is very much purturbed
over a remark attributed to Super
visor Braunhart that the Board of Su
pervisors will not allow the money ac-
uuired under the bonds for new school
houses to be used during the Schmitz
administration About $1,000,000 will
be available in about six months and
Roncovieri claims that the Supervisors
have no right to delay it's use merely
for political effect
Roncovieri yesterday received the
plans of new schoolhouses erected in
New York prepared by Architect c. B.
Snyder. The most important Is the
Morris High School building, which
cost 5000 and is a model school
building in every respect.

A special meeting of the Board of
Wednesday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock to

by more than 1900 electors in each
case for the submission of charter
amendments affecting municipal en-
ployes. The number of signatures to

Is per cent of the voters required by
the charter
One of the proposed amendments pro-
vides for half holiday on every Sat
urday for all employees of the city gov
ernment and for fourteen days vaca-
tion in each calendar year with pay.
The amendments further provide that
in case the duties of a municipal en-
ploye are such that he has to work all
day Saturday then he is to be given a
half holiday on some other day in the
week
The other amendment provides for an
increase in the salary of engineers of
the Fire Department TO $3.50 yearly.
Tn Board of Supervisors has already
decided to submit an amendment in
creasing the salaries of certain MEM
bers of the Fire Department, including
that of engineers. to s147O yearly. The
engineers went ahead on their own
account and under the charter their
amendment will also be submitted to
the voters.
Supervisor Eggers presided at the
boards meeting, which adjourned until
tomorrow, without transacting any
business. Only five Supervisors-Booth,
Connor. Eggers, Finn and Hooks
were present.

cell at the County Jail. The PenieI
Mission was holding services and the

much for the respondent man. Re-
morse overcame him and while they
sang hymn he went to the bathroom
and slashed his throat, completely
severing his windpipe. The jailer was
notified and medical aid summoned.
Efficient service saved the life of the
man.
