CHAPTER XIII.
John and Yen.

John Hardy, having arrived at FladiFos-
tok had engaged an interpreter, and spent
two days In trying to charter a craft Tor
Nagasak. where he hoped to meet his snip
or hear about her locale.
His impatience was fevered; for he heard
that no rencontre had as yet taken place;
but that, within a week, 1t was expected
that the allied French. German and Rus
sian vessels would meet the allied English
and Japanese Such was the report brought
by junks from Nagasaki and Fusan, and
by caravan from Newchwang and Kin
chow.
An engagement had not occurred, for TINS
simple reason: that the allies had prae-
tically been in hiding from the English,
and the reason was this simple one: that
they were finding extraordinary difficulties
in the matter of coaling, the English and
japanese having, as matter OF fact, ere
ated corner by buying up all the coal
In the east; SO that from Singapore TO
Vladiyostok the cry had been coal COAL
Now however, so said the reports-the
French, German and Russian vessels had
coal in plentyl Whence this supply had
come, no one could conceive. 1t was nys-
tery-but certainty
The battle, therefore, so long delayed
must come soon.
Hardy's pulses beat faster: and his cha.
grin was intense when, after anxious
search, he found no compradore willing OF
able to secure him a passage to Nagasakt
The east was In suspense. waiting Tor the

where, as he was told. he would be sure to
find willing junk. But the journey was
immense Hardy almost gave up hope Of
the battle.
But with strong heart he set out. He an
mally at war with England. He did not
know that, even In times of settled quietude,
no travellers life was worth a rush In north
ern China-as in the case of Sir Harry
Parkes
He had with him quite little retinue;
and he travelled in a palanquin borne be-
tween mules.
The northern Chinese were q hard,
ferocious and treacherous race-consider-
ably more so than the southern. They were
also larger and stronger men-rascals tall
and lean and brawny, their bony toughness
being derived from the Tartar blood with
which their tribes were infused Their Ian
guage, tooS was different above all, their
walk. The southernerS walked on the fiat
foot like Europeans; the northerners swung
along on their heels, with backward slant
of the body, like statue put to lean with
It's back against wall.
At Hunshun Hardy stopped for night
at two-roomed inn; and here 1t was that,
as soon as he was asleep, consultation
occurred between the villagers and his reti-
nue. of FIVE.
The next morning he went forward this
time In a springless jinricksha or mule cart.
He could no longer bear the swinging be-
tween the rallanquin mules. 1t had re-
duced him to a state of weakness; he was
now splitting up phlegm streaked with
blood.
At every village now they were surrounds
ed by increasing crowds and clamors. But
always Johns servants spoke some words
TO the people, which had the effect OF re-
straining them. AS he set out afresli

It was necessary for Hardy to pass
through both the Tartar and the Chinese
cities before reaching the Imperial city.
Each of these three is enclosed within its
own massive walls Independently of the
great wall of the whole town. The Imperial
City was sacred ground. Here resided the
Supreme Power. and here also the Iega-
tons. The profane foot entered IT on pam
of death.
They passed through number of thor
oughfares, broad as three or four Holborns
laid side by side and long as vistas; streets
thronging with eamels, and 1lngling mules,
and the booths of small merchants, ana
swaying pigtails; and in an hour reached
the imperial portal on mueback.

there to cape greedily after him; but still,
he did set out
A sickness of the heart-a sickness of the
stomach-grew upon him.
Could Man-could Woman-be like this?
Every nerve in his gentle and loving ma
ture rose in shuddering revolt against this
race.
He saw the whisperings and confabula-
tions between his men and the mobs. and.
with his instinct for truth, suspected
tIeachery: But he was quite helpless
Everywhere, as he advanced, his eye
noted the drilling, drilling, to which the ma
ton was being subjected.
But he was now very sick, and languid,
and day by day sat propped against the
cart, staring YEARLY before him, under the
growing heat. He was compelled to keep
up his strength with sips of the deleterious
Chinese spirit samshu; and the only food
which he could procure for days was the
sickening mass Of rice and greens whlch
forms the staple Chinese diet.
He descended the river Yalu in a gor-
geously painted junk, drawn on each bank
by mule. Here he had some rest, lying
through the starlit nights of Chinese
spring. Never had the heavens and the
earth seemed to him so lovely, enthralled
in a mystery of peace. as in those vast
sheeny nights of his descent of the Yalu.
Near VIII he commenced the land-journey
again, on muleback this time, somewhat
recovered in health.
He was given now to understand that he
was being guided to Port Arthur. Instead
of this. he was being led northward, to-
ward Moukden.
At Moukden was a garrison of the old
regular army; and the railway from thence
to Tientsin had lately been completed,
At an inn at Moukden he was eating.
when a Japanese officer, accompanied by
an interpreter, entered the room, and babe

cree that any white man found by chance
In Northern China should be sent on to
Picking.
Hardy was ineffably surprised. first at
finding himself In Moukden and next at
being hustled into a queer, low. dark rail-
way train. in the keeping of half-a-dozen
gigantic pigtails.
HBut.'' he protested through his inter.

In the train Johns wrists were bound.

peared.
They reached Tientsin by train, and
thence went on TO the village of Tung-chow.

at John Hardy, and John Hardy looked at
Yen How.
Both were smiling.
Yen How had still under his eye scar
where the fist of the English soldier John
Brabant, had struck him. So he smiled.
Hardys hands were unbound. This had
been done when he reached Tung-chow,
where it had been necessary to mount a
mule. He had on the usual blue pea
jacket; and under this, in the breast pock-
ct, his loaded revolver.
In the colloquy which followed one or
these two men spoke an English per-
fectly gramma teal as that of Tennyson or
Macaulay, though with an intensely for
eign something in his way of speaking 1t.
the other spoke broken English. 1t was
Yen who used the good and John the bad,
English.

The chief fact about John Hardy was
that he had eyes which saw fact. As
these last words fell upon his ears, he
looked keenly into the placid face before
him. and at once he realized that he was
in the presence. not so much of a China
man. as of a mind

Mr.. Wallace's Retirement.

A feature of Mr.. Cromwell's statement
and upon which he was closely questioned
was with reference to the retirement of
Chief Engineer Wallace and the testimony
which Mr.. Wallace had given before the
committee. He said that the explanation
which Mr. Wallace gave the committee was
radically different from that which he gave
at the time he retired, which was: That
he had been offered larger salary; that
his reasons given after the Manhattan Ho-
tel interview made no reference to Crom-
well: that in a letter to Chairman Shonts
the day after the interview no allusion was
made to Cromwell.

A Travelling Pain.

There is no disease quite so pc.

which is in the little finger to-day
may be in one of the toes to-mor-

system, seeking an outlet, and find
ing none it settles permanently in
ONE place, and from it's home other
pains start out, and settle down
and multiply. DIR. Drummond's

"Our Pilgrim Forefathers" will
be the subject of the sermon Sun
day morning.
At the Sunday School last Sun
day it was decided by vote to have
a Christmas tree. Committees on
program and finance were likewise
appointed.
Last Sunday evening the pastor
as a prelude to the sermon spoke
on that portion of the Presidents
message pertaining to race prob.
lem in America. 1.-THE Puzzle of
the U. S. Senate and it's Probable
Solution" will form the prelude to
sermon next Sunday evening.
The wedding ceremonies which
united Mr.. John S. Jensen, of
North Branch, and Miss Emile
Jensen, of Extra, were performed at
the church last evening at seven
O'Clock, and were witnessed by a
large concourse of people. Mr..
William Delahoyde acted as best
man and Miss Marine Gruby as
bridesmaid. The flower girls were
Mabel Jessen and Carrie Petersen,
little Miss Management Jensen being
the bearer of the wedding ring.
Led by the strains of Mendol-
ssohn's wedding march, played by
Miss Carrie Gault, the contracting
parties met at the altar, where Rev.
F. H. Richardson, pastor of the
church, read the Episcopal mar
riage service. The parents of Miss
Jensen live in Copenhagen, Den
mark, and as they were not present,
her uncle, Mr.. George Marquesen,
gave away the bride. After the pub.
lie service in the church, the wed
ding party adjourned to the Dan
ish Brotherhood Hall, where a
bountiful feast was spread. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jensen will make their home
on the old Hans Marquesen farm
occupying the place jointly with
his brother, it having recently been
purchased lby the boys and their
father. The happy couple are fol
lowed by the best wishes of hosts
of friends and acquaintances.

From this time forward the Au.
dubon Township church will be
comfortably warmed every Sunday
afternoon.
The song recital at the church on
Tuesday night drew large audi
ence. Every number was well rem
dered and much appreciated.
GLOW to find the Almighty as the
Deliverer from Sin" will be the SUBJ
ject of the sermon Sunday night.
Theme in the morning: "The Secret
of Spiritual Victory."
When the debt on the Audubon
Township church is paid, as it
soon will be, the next thing in or
der will be the purchase of new
hymn books, the latter being great
ly needed.
The Bazaar at the x. P. Hall Sat-
urday exceeded what had been ex-
pected. Together with the dinner
and supper the snm cleared was
som ething over $l2O. The day was
an ideal day.
While many of the members
worked hard Saturday at the K. P.
Hall, but few were too tired to at
tend the services on Lords day.
Good congregations were present
both morning and evening.
When Sunday visiting is allowed
to keep people away from Divine
service, it becomes an offence in
the sight of the Almighty. Believ.
ers who understand their duty
come to church and bring their
guests with them.
"The Yule- Tide Story, is the title

the enthusiasm manifested the
scholars will doubtless acquit
themselves creditably.
