cities, all centers of official and commercial
life. Canton. for instance, has popula-
ton of a million and a half and it is the
busiest city in China. 1t is close to Hong
Kong, the chief British seaport of that part
of the world, and it is so connected by
waterways that it can send goods to all
parts of the province of Canton and by the
West river and its canals into kwangsi In
addition to the manufacturing and agricul-
tural possibilities of this country, are the
large mineral deposits which are found
along the line of the Canton Hankow road.
The land is rich in coal, iron, copper and
anthony. Indeed, the greater part of the
antimony of the world now comes from
that locality"
When will this American road be COM
pleted?" 1 asked.
II think the work will be steadily
pushed" said Mr.. Ferguson. About forty
miles of track have already been built
northward from Canton. Further construc-

The other was man well favored
enough in his way and apparently well

stubby beard that was more or less I'M
tidy; it evidently was of but few weeks
growth. He was pleaSant-looking man,
of prosperous appearance.
This man had two remarkable peculi-
arities. One was that about his neck-not
across his waistcoat, but about his neck
he wore watch chain made of solid
gold This watch chain weighed exactly
one pound and one ounce. 1t was this

was this that had caused some of them

His other PECULIARLY was in its way

line from Picking to Hankow. This great
trunk line is being built by a Belgian syn
dictate. 1t was extended from Picking to
Fao Ting-fu before the Boxer outbreak,
and it has since been built as far south
the Yellow river. The Belgians have been
also working on the construction from
Hankow northward. More than half of
that part of the line is completed, and 1t IS
expected that it will reach the Yellow river
by the end of the present year. Then there
will be a direct line from Hankow to
Picking. broken only by the Yellow river.
This will have to be bridged, and plans FOR
the bridge have been prepared. although
the actual work of bridge construction has
not yet been commenced. The Yellow river
has often been called 'China's Sorrow. 1t
is noted for its shifting sands and its

these men apart was quite another thing,
as may possibly develop later.
AT any rate the likeness was sufficient
in all respects to please the mind of Con-
stitutional Smith. and he was a man who
was not generally easily satisfied.
However, he turned in and followed in
the wake of this other man. his counter
felt presentment, so to speak.
In the city of Monroe this other man
was Well-known parsonage. He was a
man OF prominence and position.

Smith was not among the lot And this
had stood Smith in good stead many, many
times: the fact of his resemblance to or
binary men.
In one case in fact his direct resemblance
to an ordinary man-an individual of the
name of Peters-had saved him from con-
vction. In that case the star witness, like
the witness in the famous treason trial of
Charles Darnay, had been unable to choose
between Smith and Peters the guilty
man. The resemblance had puzzled him.
even as the likeness of Sydney Carton to
that more famous prisoner had knocked a
famous treason case into cooked hat.
Mr.. Smith had never. and Will never, forget
this circumstance and ever since that nap
pening he had kept his eyes wide open, for
multitude of reasons, for any man who
might be to some extent the counterfeit
presentment of himself. He made no par

wide open, that was all. More gratis than
