FOR many years, perhaps for many centuries, the failure OF a crop
in any portion of China has caused the death of thousands of people BY
famine. So dense is the population that necessarialy the people lit
orally i've from hand to mouth, and when the crops fail, there is nothing
in the northern part of Kiaugsu and Anhwei provinces. There, in a lit
tie space OF large than one Of our small states, are huddled together
100000 people. They are nearly 200 miles north OF the great Yang
te River and cannot be moved, and there is no possible way to carry
buttons. but it has to be packed on animals or on the backs of men.
ad al only reach a few.
1t is a relief to think that China is already projecting railroads
toward that region, and it is to be hoped that this is the last great
famine that is t o be followed there by such Who'll sale loss of life.
OF course. those peope, living through a n experience of that kind
once every few years, cannot be level headed. The ghosts Of starved
relatives must be around them always. We IA only imagine what
deeds of selfsacrifce are perform ed there by mothers o try to say
their children, by fathers o try to ave wife and children.
But the final result must be that the brains OF the race are ant-
ed because there is a character of suffering beyond which poor human
nature cannot make way. and that has been going o through the eel
turtles. n O knows how long. But it is only within the last twenty
five years that the ban has been taken off and the Chinese have been
reconciled Ito the building OF railroad through their country.
The first road was twelve miles long and the people were 50 in
censed we it that the government had to buy it ear IL p thu rails
That a about thrtyhve years ago and the objection of the people
was that the road an through some Of their burial places and must
naturally disturb the sleep of Their dead ancestors. They have perfect
faith in that kind of thing.
Dan DeQulle wrote a story W hEh was tme about forty years ago
Dan knew every Indian and every Chinaman in the country, and he
got many n item from them, and in his quaint way OF stating what
they said, the matter wa most int ereshng. One morning he had a
story that a like this:
Yesterday met HI Lung and said, ri, what news? Where
upon he said, You savoy? Last week Hip Lee he die. We give him
big funeral You savoy? That nj ght he came, he say n comfortable.
Next day he came, say he no sleep good. Well, lesteday we vent dig
him %, We openb box. You savoy? One leg ben up so blending his
knee). We straighten down that leg, W re fix him up. put him back.
Last night he n o come"
But the prejudice is overcome in China and the building of rail
roads is going on with increasing momentum, and w all ca hope
that in a very few years nor the coming of a famine in that country
will o produce the wholesale deaths that have afflicted it SO long

even through his clothing he was con-

Abruptly they swung entirely free,
leaving the entrance clear, and he was
drawing free breath when the moon
glare showed him the swords returned
to position with the speed of light.
He jumped for his life and escaped
being slashed to pieces by the barest
inch. They swung to behind him;
and again the drum roared, while afar
there arose a furious. eldritch wailiug

Somewhat shaken, Amber held cut

OF nOthingness something plorped into
Amber's hand and his fingers closed
convulsively about it, 1t was a hand,
very small, small as a child's. gnarled
and hard as steel and cold as ice.
Without any forewarning two heavy
hands gripped him, one on either
shoulder, and he was forced to his
knees. At the same instant. with

shot down from the zenith, and where
it fell with a thuuderclap a dazzling
glare OF emerald light shot up breast

from it, a thin cloud luminous BY

hand, bony, brown and long of finger,
that seemed attached to nothing-and
cast something like a powder into the
fire There followed a fzz and puff of
vapor. and a strong and heavy gust Of
incense was waited into Amber's face.
