half a promise from her that she

SEVEN CENTURIES IN OCEAN
tTo BE CONTINUED.

NO attempt was made, either by the
emissaries of the king or the retain
ers of the prince of Heike, to fish for
the bell. Within 100 years the de.
s%cendants OF the prince were crossing
over the sunken bell in war foAfys
against the kings Of Korea and the
junks of the Koreans rayaging the
coasts of Kiushiu.
But among the folks of the Japa-
nese island there sprang legends and
rainy-night tales about the sunkeu
bell of the Korean king. When the
sea ragged the fishermen declared they
could hear the booming of the great
bronze cup on the seas bed, and in
time of earthquakes the sea folk along
the shore listened to hear the mad
tolling of the bell, which they welx
sure would sound the signal for .
tidal wave.
Last year 1t was that Yama.,oto
Kikutaro, a man of wealth of yhe
province and devoted to the collecdpn
OF ancient art objects, began to search
for the ancient bell. Through the
fishermen he succeeded in locating 1t
after long effort, and last month
divers raised it to the surface.
The bell has been cleaned of its
%corroding mass Of barnacles and found
to be still whole. It will soon be
taken to Kyoto, there to be hung in
the Hongwanji temple.

Great Korean Bell Recovered Through
Aid Of Wealthy Japanese
Antiquarian.

A great Korean bell which for 700
years has been lying 20 fathoms be-
low the waves of the shore of Chi.
kuzen province, Japan. has just been
raised through the efforts Of a Japa-
nese antiquarian, and now, crusted as
1t is with the sea waste of centuries,
it stands on exhibition at Kanegasaki.
According to tradition, which is
only partially borne out by ancient
documents, the king of Korea decided
seven centuries ago that he would
send a fitting token of his respect to
Kiyomori, the powerful leader of the
Heike clan, on the west coast of the
southern island of Kiushiu. He or
dered the royal bell founders, many
and expert in those days, to cast a
bell.
The dimensions were to be these:
In height, 1 jo 6 shaku; in diameter,
8 shaku 9 SUM-, and a circumference
of 2 10 8 shaku Z sun. Tradition says
it was a great bell, and in the absence
of translated proportions tradition
must rule in the abstract in this par.
ticular. u
The bell was successfully cast and
was loaded on a mammoth junk at the
Korean town O. Masampeo. The junk
and a feet of conveys sailed for the
coast of Chikusen, in Japan, when all
the royal augurs had agreed upon an
suspicious day. The augurs were not
up in their business. for about half a
mile of the japanese haven a heavy
sea tipped the junk and the gift Of
the Korean king plunged into the sea

though he did not stop his horse to
make the examination. When they
reached the open country the horse
had settled into a fast, long stride
that not only redeemed his reputation
but relieved his riders nerves.
When McCloud entered his office it
was half past nine O'clock, and the
first thing he did before turning on
the lights was to draw the window
shades. He examined the hat again,
with sensations that were new to him
fear, resentment, and 4 hearty

You know what I mean. George"
To McCloud the news came, In spite
of himself, as a blow. The results he
had attained in building through the
lower valley had given him a name
among the engineers of the whole line.
The splendid showing of the winter
construction, on which he had de.
pended to enable him to finish the
whole work within the year, was by
this news brought to naught. Those
Of the railroad men who said he could
not deliver a completed line within
the year could never be answered now.
And there was some slight bitterness
in the reflection that the very Stun
bling-block to hold him back, to rob
him of his chance for a reputation
with men like Glover and Bucks,
should be the lands of Dicksie Dun
ming.
He made no complaint. On the d.
vision he took hold with new en-
ergy and bent his faculties on the OPP
Grating problems. At Marion's he
saw Dicksie at intervals, and only to
fall more %hopelessly under her spell

was afraid she would realize he was a
mere railroad superintendent with
hopes of a record for promotion quite

greater reputation were not enough. a

to leave only shreds and patches OF
what he had already earned.

CHAPTER XIV.
Test.

Du Sang had the sidewise gait of a
wolf, and crossed the street with the
choppy walk of the man out of a
long saddle. Being both uncertain and
quick, he was a man to slip a trail
easily. He Travelled around the block
and disappeared among the many open
doors that blazed along Hill street.
Less alert trailers than the two be-
hind him would have been at fault;
but when he entered the place he was
looking for. Kennedy was SO close
that Du Sang could have spoken to
him had he turned around.
Kennedy passed directly ahead. A
moment later Whispering Smith put
his head inside the door Of the joint
Du Sang had entered, withdrew it,
and, rejoining his companions, spoke
in an undertone: "a negro dive; he's
lying low. Now We will keep our reg
ular order. It's a half-basement, with
a bar on the left; crap games at the
table behind the screen on the right.
Kennedy, will you take the real end of
the bar? It covers the whole room
and the back door. George, pass in
ahead of me and step Just to the left
OF the slot machine; you've got the
front door there and everything be-
! the screen, and I car get close to
Du Sang. Look for a finnish, yellow
faced man with a brown hat and a
brown shirt-and4 pink eyes-shoot-
ing craps under this window. I'll shoot
craps with him. Is your heart pump
ing. George? Never mind, this is
easy! Farrell, you're flrst!"
The dive, badly lighted and venti-
lated, was counted tough among tough
places. White men and colored mixed
before the bar and about the tables.
When Smith stepped around the
r and into the flare Of the hang
ing lamps, Du Sang stood in the small
corner below the screened street win
dow. McCloud, though vitality inter.
ested in locking at the man that had
come to town to kill him, felt his at
tention continually wandering back
to Whispering Smith. The clatter Of
the rolling dice, the cultural jargon
Of the negro gamblers, the drift of
men to and from the bar, and the
clouds Of tobacco smoke made a hazy
background for the stoop.shouldered
man with his gray hat and shabby
coat, d%ust-covered and trayelstained.

When Grownups Can Be Children
Again Just For a Night.

Again just For a Night.
An evening of laughter is a good
thing. 1t clears away the cobwebs
left by work In office OF at home and
straightens out features rendered set
and congested by too much serious
thought. A good way to have such an
evening Is to give a children's party.
Send out invitations written IN note
paper with a colored picture in n
corner of each Have them read in
something like the following manner:
"Miss Bessie Brown and Master Bill
lie Brown will give a party OIL Tues
day, August 0, 1900, at 8 o'clQ<
and they would like much to have
Miss Sallie Sardy and Master Sammie
Sardy come. Kindly Sress as you

An invitation of this sort results nat
hrally In everybody appearing in s
tunes which render them just as ridic-
ulous as they possibly could look. No
matter wfdt form Of entertainment
Is sure to be a success, for there could
not possibly be the slightest formal
fly. The evening Is bound to be n
of hilarity from beginning to end and
one which viii be remembered with
pleasure by all present. The refresh
ments should be served OF long. low
kindergarten tables. A candy pull may
be introduced with great success, or
any games that were favorites When
the people at the party were children
will be sure to be enjoyed.
