A CHANGE IN CHINA.
@@@@@@@@@@@@~@s


An edict was published not long ago
in China which, although it attracted
little attention in this country, implies
a great revolution in some of the meth
DDS of that nation. The doWager en-
press has decreed that all fortunes for
merly administered in judicial pro-
ceedings shall be abolished. When one
knows how large a part the rack, the
whip, and other instruments Of cruelty
play in the sO-called courts Of China he
can understand what a tremendous
step this is
China long ago either forgot or ig-
nored her old proverb which says: BE
severe in enacting laws but lenient in
executing them" No court of the In
QUESTION ever practiced more horrible
or persistent fortunes. This judicial
cruelty has formed the subject of a
chapter of almost every book written
on that country. Up to the present
time trials in the Chinese courts of
law have been conducted by the means
of torture Even the witnesses have
suffered, especially If they have not
testified according to the judges the
Dry Such witnesses were often beaten
on the cheeks and jaws until teeth

A traveller tells of a recent expert
ence in a Chinese court:
THE judges were sitting in a court
yard where there were twenty crimi-
nails. These magistrates We're dressed
in gorgeous silks and were drowsily

all sorts Of uncomfortable attitudes.
Some of them were suspended by their
thumbs. Their hair was unshorn and
matted. their faces caked with dirt,
and they had lost even the look Of hui

Der nineteen, and a pitiful figure was
brought in. The judge told him the
story of his crime. ON such and such
a day he said, You were going to the

Not a Stone Unturned.

Those who visited New York while
its subway was in process of construc-
ton will appreciate this story, told in
the New York Herald:
A friend Of the street commissioner
Of New York, while passing through
the city for the first time in his life,
lost watch which he valued highly.
Not being familiar with Manhattan.
the man wrote to the commissioner of
his loss, and asked him to do his best
to find the missing article The COM
missioner answered that he would do
all in his power to recover the watch,
and that he would not leave a stone
unturned in the search.
A short while after this the man
happened to be in New York again
and business took him in the direction
Of Park avenue. At a glance he took
in the piles Of stone, dirt and other
material from the torn-up street. Rush
ing to the nearest telegraph Office. he
sent the following message to the COM
missioner:
do not bother any longer. Watch
not worth it."

CHAPTER XV.-(Continued


Every nerve in Pauline's body was vi
brating, and a sense of suffocation came
over her. Had this man at last seen
the advertisement or been told of it?
Perhaps, too, he had been to those dread.
full people, DAVIS & Raven and obtain
ed from them the information that would
ruin her. She turned to Jack eagerly.
Don't see them, jack" she said
pleadingly. They will keep you all the
afternoon, and we are so comfortable"
Jack felt that his position was hardly
pleasant. If they had asked for him
he ought to go to them. But still he
admitted that Pauline's objection was
quite natural He could understand her
wish that he should not meet Ethel more
than was necessary.
Very WELL" he acquiesced "Not at
home, Babette.'
The frenchwoman retraced her steps
down the long gallery, with a look Of
deep disappointment on her face. She
had expected so much from the appear
ance OF these people. She had built on
the abrupt termination Of this hateful
engagement through them, and now the
chance was lost, utterly lost, just be-
cause she could not bring about the de-
sired interview.
rms disappointment, coming after her
morning failure at DAVIS office, broke
down her spirit altogether, and for the
brst time she began to believe that she
must resign herself to the inevita Bile

ed and she must be satisfied with the
poor revenge of depriving Pauline of
her unlawful possessions. She clinched
her teeth with defeated rage as she en-
tered the boudoir.
No, madame has not yet returned"
she said, and held the door for them to
pass out into the gallery
But in that moment of her utter de-
spair the tide turned and carried her
on to speedy victory. She preceded Mr..
and Miss Mallett until they reached the
central hall, and then handed them over
to the footman. She stood watching
them as they re-entered the hired car
rage. AS they drove off some one
plucked at her from behind. She turned
round in surprise to meet Mrs. Perkins,
whom she had passed in the corridor,
outside the boudoir, experimenting the
arranging of fresh flowers in the window
stand. The housekeeper's usually horid
face was quite pale and she jerked out
her words in a curious, breathless way:
WHO are those people you have just
shown out?'
Mr.. and Miss Mallett."
They are nothing of the kind! The
gentleman is Sir Godfrey Mailing, Baro-
net, brother of Sir Paul and uncle to
our present mistress, and the young lady
is like enough to the family to be his
daughter"
The Frenchwoman stood looking at
her with gigantic triumph in her face
as she muttered:

CHAPTER XVII.

Mr.. Mallett, in evident impotence.
walked up and down the confined space
between DAVIS office table and the door.
DAVIS had refused to say anything in
the absence of the lady for whom he
was acting, and whom he expected mo-
mentarily.
The door opened behind him; and.
turning round, he saw Babette breath
less and flushed, unceremoniously enter
the room. He recognized her at once as
the maid he had seen at Mallingford
Park on the previous day, and he turned
a dusky red as the thought that he had
been entrapped into some backstair in
trigue against his niece passed through
his mind.
But l am fortunate to find you here
STILL / feared you would depart before
my arrival"
Mr.. Mallett bowed slightly, and wait
ed for her to go on.
''Ah, 1 seer cried the woman-'you

are of the Mailing family''-he WINGED
and you have amazement in your
heart that l, mean domestic. should
dare to make an appointment with you!
But you will have more amazement
when | tell you why do this. Do you
know your niece, Miss Mailing, very
weli?'
Mr.. Mallett drew himself up proudly.
L came here to receive information,
not to answer questions. If you have
brought me here thinking that I should
help in any scheme against my niece,
You are mistaken. If you have any
news to impart which concerns me, I
will listen; if not, l will wish you good
afternoon
He took his hat from the table and
turned to the door.
But one moment. I have news to tell
you-news that concerns yourself very
dearly. What would you do if l were
to tell You that this woman who calls
herself your niece is no niece at all, that
the whole estate is Of right yours, that
your niece is dead and buried?"
She watched him keenly; but beyond
putting his hand suddenly on the back
of chair near him, he gave no sign Of
surprise.
Il should say that you labored under
a mistake
y am going to show you something
that will put you right on to the straight
track leading to this woman's downfall
and your restoration to what has been
yours ever since your brothers death
Mallingford Park"
Mr.. Mallett drew a deep breath, and
then asked, laconically:
And your price,
Babette felt that there was a CLEAN
in the eyes watching her from behind
the table, and, she looked at DAVIS in
stinctively. He mistook the look to
mean, You name the price," and he
said, Immediately:
"One years rent roll
IN other words, between eleven and
twelve thousand pounds?" Intercepted
Mr.. Mallett
DAVIS nodded his head affirmatiyely.
THE affair, so far as I am concerned,
is ended
Babette glared for an instant at the
lawyer and muttered, You vampirew
Then turning to Mr.. Mallett, she said,
in her best manner, He is mistaken,
monsieur; the price arranged between US
was five thousand pounds on the day
you take possession
ITO be conferred by deed of gift con-
ditionally beforehand" put in the law
yer.
Very good. I accept those terms on
the understanding that the lady in Ques-
ton is proved to be an utter stranger
by blood"
You will sign the undertaking before
you see our proof" DAVIS said, raising
the lid of his desk as he spoke, and
producing a ready-prepared document.
I'VE must have a disinterested witness
TO the signature, if you please. Joe
Blake, come hereo'
A wretched lad sneaked from the
outer office into the room, watched Mr..
Mallett sign. put his own name to the
paper. and then shuffied out again.
Now we can proceed to business
chuckled DAVIS. THE next move is
yours, Ma 'mselle Lestrange. 1t is plain
to be seen that the whole thing is dis
tasteful to Mr.. Mallett. He is a man of
refinement, and this companionship on
an equality with people so UNNECESSARILY
his interiors CRATES most disagree bly,
on his sense of the fitness of things"
