Last night" 1 repeated below my
breath.
II thought of you. Why do you wear
the dragon-claw?"

forehead. covering the scar.
What do you know of the dragon
claw / muttered.
1T is the symbol of Yue-Laou. and
Yue-Laou rules the Kuen-Yuin, my
step-father says. My step-father tells
me everything that | know. We lived
in Yian until l was sixteen years old.
L am eighteen now: that is two years
we have lived in the forest. Look
see those scarlet birds, What are they?
There are birds of the same color in
Yian."
Where is Yian. Ysonde?" I asked
with deadly calmness.
'Yian? l don't know"
But you have lived there?"
Yes, very long time"

TT is across seven oceans and the
great river which is longer than from
the earth to the moon"
''Who told you thaR?"

everything"

81 don't know il; he is my step-fath-
er, that is ALL
And what is your manner"
you know it, Ysonde."
Yes, but what other name?"
THAT is all, Ysonde. Have you two
names? Why, do you look at me SC
impatiently?''
Does your step-father make gold?
Have you seen him make it?'
"Oh, yes. He made it also in Yian
and l loved to watch the sparks at
night whrling like golden bees. Yian
is lovely-if it is all like our garden
and the gardens around. 1 can see the
thousand gridges from my garden and
the white mountain beyond"
And the people-tell me Of the peo-
pie. YsOnde," / urged gently.
The people of Yian? l could see
them in swarms like ants-oh. many,
many millions crossing and recrossing
the thousand bridges
But how do they look? Did they
dress as 1 do?'
II don't know. They were very far
away. moving specks on the thousand
bridges. For sixteen years 1 saw them
every day from my garden, but / new
er went out of my garden into the
streets of Yian, for my step-father for
bade, me-"
You never saw a living creature
near by in Yian?" / asked in despair.
MY birds, oh 'such tall, wise-looking
| birds, all over gray and rose color"
She leaned over the cleaning water
and drew her polished hand across the
surface.
why do you ask me these ques-
| tions," she murmured; ARE you dis
| pleased?"
Tell me about your step-father," 1
/ insisted. Does he look as 1 do? Does
he dress, does he speak as 1 do? Is he
| American"
American? / don't know. He does
not dress as you do and he does not
| look as you do. He is old, very, very
old. He speaks sometimes as you do,
sometimes as they do in Yian. / speak

Then she pushed me away from her

drew her to me-if 1 kissed away the

mess. When she smiled through her
tears, the pure love and sweetness in

long grass beside me moved close to

my nostrils.
"Ysonde." I cried, but the touch OF
her hand was already gone and my two
clenched fists were cold and damp with
dew.
"Ysondel" called again, my tongue
stiff with fright-but I called as one
awaking from a dream-a horrid dream,
for my nostrils quivered with the
damp acrid odor and I felt the crab
reptile clinging to my knee. Why had
the night fallen so swiftly-and where
was I-where ?-stiff, chilled, torn and
bleeding, lying flung like a corpse over
my own threshold with Voyou licking
my face and Barris STOPPING above me
in the light of a lamp that fiared and
smoked in the night breeze like g

the lamp aroused me and l cried out:

AT O'Clock that afternoon, at BarriS'
suggestion, we gave up the search for
the fountain in The glade and cut
across the forest to the spinney where
David and Hewlett were waiting with

uttering a word to either of as during

LOSS TO KANSAS.
Much OF the Battleship's Fur
niture Destroyed by Fire.
Ceremony of Placing Her in
Commission VIII Be Delayed.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 9.-One of
the large buildings in the League
Island navy yard, containing the saw
mill, joiner shop and pattern shop,
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
today. The loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. The navy
yard fire company, and all the marines
and sailors stationed at the yard were
called out to fight the flames and as
sistance was asked of the Philadelphia
fire department. The flames spread
with such rapidly, however that the
structure was soon enveIoped and the
interior of the building completely de-
stroyed. Many patterns for the
equipment of vessels of the navy were
burned and it will be difficult to re-
place them.
Much of the furniture intended for
the battleship Kansas was stored in
the building and was destroyed The
Kansas was to have been placed in
commission within a few days and it
is thought that the loss of the fur
niture will delay the ceremony.

Anrf1 7Q07

Topeka, April 9, 1907.
Mr.. William Sell, Lansing, Kansas.
MY Dear Sir: have today issued
full pardon in your case which will
be delivered to you this evening by my
personal representative, Mr.. S. G.
drummer. my private secretary.
have taken this action after a long
and most careful consideration of
your case. I need not say to you that
this action is of very great importance
to you and to the state. From boy
hood you have been deprived of your
liberty and it is not my purpose in this
communication to enter into a discus
sion of the merits of the matter, but
l want to follow you into the outer
world with some frank expressions of
my wishes concerning your future.
You have been a good prisoner. Every
officer of the institution, so far as I
have been able to learn, who has come
into contact with you since your i'm
prisonment, has been your friend. A
great army of friends on the outside
have pleaded for your release; one
board of pardons has recommended it
and now / take the responsibility of
granting you one of the greatest boons
one can covet in this world-liberty-
But when you go out though now a
man, you will go out into boy world
without practical experience in con-
tact with men in the practical affairs
of the world You will. be subjected
to all kinds of temptations which your
experience of twenty years past has
not particularly fitted you to combat.
