keep stin and lister to what 1 have -
say. Is that door shut tight?"
Barris locked it and sat down.
Thanks" said 1; "Barris, where Is
the city of Yian?'
An expression akin to terror flashed
into Barris' eyes and | saw him stop
breathing for moment.
There is no such CITY," he said at
length. have | been talking in my
Sleep"
1T is city" l continued, calmly,
''wheAe the river winds under the
thousand bridges, where the gardens
are sweet scented and the air is filed
with the music of silver bells"
stop" gasped Barris, and rose
trembling from his chair. He had
grown ten years older.
Roy" interposed Pierpont, coolly,
what the deuce are you harrying Bar
ris for?"
looked at Barris and he looked at
down again.
Go on, Roy" he said.
Il must" ] answered. for now am
certain that l have not dreamed"
told them everything; but, even as
told it, the whole thing seemed so
vague. so unreal, that at times
stopped with the hot blood tingling in
ears. for it seemed impossible that
sensible men, in the year of our Lord
1896, could seriously discuss such mat
ters.
l feared Pierpont, but he did not
even smile. AS for Barris, he sat
with his handsome head sunk on his
breast his unlighted pipe clasped
tight in both hands.
When had finished. Pierpont turned
slowly and looked at Barris. Twice he
moved his lips as if to ask something
and then remained mute
"Yian is city said Barris, speak
ing dreamily; was that what you
wished to know. Pierpont?"
He nodded silently.
"Yian is CITY," repeated Barris,
where the great river winds under
the thousand bridges-where the gar
dens are sweet scented. and the air is
filled with the music of silver bells"
My lips formed the question:
Where is this city,"
1T lies" said Barris, almost querul-
ously. across the seven oceans and
the river which is longer than from the
earth to the moon"
What do you mean" said Pier
pont.
All" said Barris, rousing himself
with an effort and raising his sunken
eyes, Il am using the allegories of an
other land; let it pass. Have l not
told you of the Kuen-Yuin? Yian is
the center of the Kuen-Yun. 1t lies
hidden in that gigantic shadow called
China, vague and vast as the midnight
heavens-a continent unknown, i'm.
penetrable."
'Impenetrable," repeated Pierpont,
below his breath.
Il have seen it," said Barris, dream
lily. Il have seen the dead plains Of
Black cathay and I have crossed the
mountains Of Death, whose SUBMITS
are above the atmosphere. I have seen
the shadow of Xangi cast across Abad-
don. Better to die a million miles
from Yezd and Alter Quedah than to
have seen the white water-lotus close
in the shadow OF Xangi! l have slept
among the ruins of Xaindu, where the
winds never cease and the Wulwuleh
is walled by the dead"
"And Yian," urged, gently.
There was an unearthly look on his
face as he turned slowly toward me.

CHAPTER VI.-continued.

Where is this city," l asked,
family.
"Yian? l don't know. 1t is sweet
with perfume and the sound of silver
bells all day long Yesterday carried
a blossom of dried lotus buds from
Yian, in my breast, and all the woods
were fragrant. Did you smell it?"
Yes"
Il wondered, last night, whether you
did. How beautiful your dog is; l love
him. Yesterday thought most about
your dog, but last night"
Last night" | repeated, below my
breath.
II thought of you. Why do you wear
the dragon-claw?'
/ raised my hand impulsively to my
forehead, covering the scar. What do
you know Of the dragon claw" l NUT
tered.

stepfather says. My stepfather tells

am is 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?" l asked,
with deadly calmness.
''Yian? | don't know
But you have lived there?"
Yes. a very long time"
rs it across the ocean, Ysonde?"
1T is across seven oceans and the
great river which is longer than from

Who told you that?"
who? My stepfather; he tells me
everything"
"win you tell me his name,
Ysonde?'
Il don't know It, he il my stepfa.
ther, that is all"
And what is your name?"
You know it, Ysonde."
Yes. but what other name"
That is all, Ysonde. Have you two
names? Why do you look at me so
impatiently?'
Does your stepfather make gold?
Have you seen him make it?"
"Oh, yes. He made it also in Yian,
and I loved to watch the sparks at
night whirling like golden bees. Yian
is lovely-if It is all like our garden
and the gardens around. I can see
the thousand bridges from my garden
and the white mountain beyond"
And the people-tell me of the peo-
pie. Ysonde!" l urged. gently.
1.-The people of Yian? 1 could see
them in swarms like ants-oh! many.
many millions crossing and recrossing
the thousand bridges"
But how did they look? Did they
dress as / do?"
"I don't know. They were very far
away. moving specks on the thousand
bridges. For 16 years 1 saw them
every day from my garden, but never
went out OF my garden into the streets
of Yian, for my stepfather forbade
me-"
you never saw a living creature
near by in Yian?" I asked in despair.

ing 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-
TONS" she murmured; 'are you dis
pleased?"
"Tell me about your stepfather."

he dress. does he speak as do? Is

 cure the Interurban.

Messrs. Proper, Crossland,
 Mayor Morris and several other gentlemen from Bentonville were
 here last night to lay the propos-
 ition before our people. fhe crowd at the opera house was not very large on account of lack of time to advertise the meeting
 and several other rcaSons, but
 what WAS lacking III numbers
 was made up i'll the enthusiasm of
 those present. The meeting WAS eallcd to order by Mayor MaXson, Who made q brief talk in favor of the road, after which lie 1ntfe- duced Mayor Morris of Benton vile. Mr. Proper followed presenting the matter in very pleasing manner. All of the members of the local committee made brief, but enthusiastic talks
 on the subject, as did also Roy
 Wasson and A. A. Hazel, repre- sentatives from Springtown. The route from Bentonville will
 most likely be by way of Mason Valley and Springtown to Gentry aud from here to Tontitown and Springdale. The proposition ir brief IS for Gentry to take o4o,00 of stock III the road, S25, o0o oi this to be i'll right of way and
 ties, and ol5,0o0 i'll cash, one
 fourth to be paid HOW, balance in }, and 9 months. We have

 make up our part. The shares
 are o25. X meeting of the pro- motors and the local committee
 was held at the Elberta this morning, terminating very satis. factorily.@ Gentry Journal
