Continue.

Peking, Nov. G--Yuan Shi Kai still
declines to acceptthe Premiership, al
though assured by the support of the
National Assembly and Gen. Chang,
in command of the Lanchau troops.
Both the Assembly and Gen. Chang,
however, insist that when the Parlia-
ment is elected the Premier shall be
chosen by that body. In the mean
time affairs here are in a state of
chaos. No tangible head of the gov
ernment is visible. The government
urgently needs funds and hopes that
the Franco-Belgian loan will be forth
coming, so the military operations and
the administration can be carried on
The international group refuses tc
supply funds. The government is
urging the group to advance money
to allay the threatened financial ant
public deadlock in Peking, as it is
feared the non-circulation of money
will cause serious hardships to the
coolies and the lower classes, which
possibly might lead to local disturb
ances.
To this the group is inclined TO &c
cede, although foreign commercial in
terests at Peldng are incensiderable.
Negotiations Continue.

ing how foolish she had been to un-
dertake it. She knew Bismillah would
not fear to remain all night in any
uncanny place, and she respected him
for not being willing to win her in
such fashion. Besides. his Indifference
only made her more anxious to have
him for her husband. .
She fretted over the matter till just
before dawn. when she determined to
go herself and try to frighten away
the suitors she did not wish to marry.
Dressing herself, she wound a sheet
about her and hurried to the GENE
terry. Approaching the sepulcher of
her ancestors. she heard a sound and
stopped to listen. Could 1t be a snore
Surely it was a snore. One of the
men she had sent there had got rid
of the other. gone into the sepulcher
and fallen asleep.
All now depended on Fatima's fright
enfng away the man in the sepulcher.
The moon had risen, and there was
light enough from this and the coming
Of dawn for her to be distinctly seen,
though it was too dark for her to see
the man in the sepulcher. Standing
before the door, which was open. she
gave shrek. There was a sound as
of some one turning, the creaking of
some sort of bed, and voice came:
"Go away from here and cease to
disturb my slumber."
Leave this abode of the dead" said
Fatfma In a sepulchral voice, 'or /
will drag you with me to Tartarus."
THAT would please me greatly" re-
piled the voice inside. by coming

ant position. A girl told me that if |
would occupy this place till morning

lest she should think me cowardly, [
came. brought my bed with me and
Grove away two fools | found here
Now | suppose | shall have to marry
this girl. | would prefer going with
you to Tartarus"
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, then Fatima gave a sob, then
a laugh, and Bismillah. who knew
from the first it was she. sprang from
the cot he occupied. took her In his
arms and checked her sobs and her
laughter with kisses.
Then, taking up his bed. he carried
it, walking home beside her.
There wasn't any trouble about her
choosing lover after that The two
other suitors took a back seat, and
Blsmillah occupied the only front one.

Broadway and the Strand.

Broadway, New York, is the more or
less exact counterpart of the London
Strand. 1t is actually broader, but it
appears more narrow because the
houses are so much higher, and it is
little straighter because it is a made
road, not road evolved from what
was once path along river mud The
general effect is Identical There are
the same kinds of shops and a crowd
OF the same type passing to or from
the business quarter of the city. But.
as l have said, one rubs ones eyes
looking out at the crowd upon the
sidewalk. 1t is the Strand crowd
cosmopolitan, varied, people touching
one another so closely that the tops of
their heads appear to form another
tier on the street, tier paved with
hats instead of wood blocks or gran
lite sets. There it is, the crowd. But
1t appears to stop still. In ones first
astonishment one thinks that all these
people are waiting for a procession to
pass. One cannot believe that they
are the procession. Nevertheless as
the slow trolley passes onward one
realizes that the crowd is actually in
motion-that it is the thing itself, not
the procession. 1t is an extraordinary
shock, this first impression of the land
Of hurry.-Ford MADDOX Hueffer in At.

Sweet Mother Love.

A man awoke one night with a
toothache.
He groaned, he turned and twisted
he howled, he sat up and lay down
again. He arranged his pillow and
pressed it against his face, with an.
other groan.
His wife slept on and never moved.
He wanted attention, he wanted sym.
patthy, and he groaned again.
Still she slept.
Injury added to the pain; it wasn't
treating a fellow right to sleep like
that when he was suffering with a
painful tooth, and he called her name.
Still she slept.
He had groaned three times as loud
as he could, and she didn't awake.
Then the baby, in its crib in another
room, sighed softly in it's sleep.
The woman was on her feet and
standing beside its crib, anxious eyed
in an instant.
"And [ actually thought said the
man, that she loved me most st

European Hotels.

Most American travellers on their
first trips on the continent of Europe
are astounded when upon the day Of
their departure from a hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead Of by the landlord Or
by his chief clerk. But it is the GUS
tom, and this important individual is
thus assured of his tip. But they fret
and fume inwardly as they think of
all the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways of avoiding this
worry If they only knew. In small ho-
tells and pensions where an average of
So or 10 francs day is paid for pen
sion it is proper to allow l franc a
day for each person for service and
when going away divide it according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent of the hotel
bill, whatever it Is, add it to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide it among the
servants Thus is the tipping ques-
ton very much mplified.-New York
Tribune.

A LOVERS
TEST
By MARGARET KELLY
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911.
By MARGARET KELl

In COnStantinople there once lived a
young girl whose father and mother,
dying. had left her a snug fortune.
Moreover, her parents being dead, she
was at liberty to choose husband
for herself.
Now. Fatima-that was the girls
name was very particular about one
thing in the man who should be her
husband. She wished him to be a
brave man. Superstition at that time
hung like a pail upon the Turks as
well as the Christians. But Fatima
was more enlightened than others and
had a contempt for any young man
who would be terror stricken at sup
posed apparition.
Three lovers sought her hand. To
the first she said: MY father last
night appeared to me in dream and
told me that If | would send one
whom | thought of marrying to the
sepulcher in the cemetery where his
body and those of others of our fami-
ly lie he would appear to the sutton
ceive me from my father, and In the
morning return to me. Then | will
marry you"
The young mar whose name was
Abdallah. reluctant fly accepted the sit
uatiOn and said bat he would go to
the sepulcher as soon as it was dark
and wait for the ghosts appearance.
Then Fatima told the second lover,
Hamid, what she had done, adding
that if he would go to the sepulcher
and appear to Abdallah as a ghost
and scare him away she would accept
Hamid for her husband Hamid was
quite pleased at what he considered
an easy way to get a rich wife and
agreed to abide by the result of his
effort.
The third sutton. Bismillah, was an
independent fellow, and Fatima prefer
red him to either OF the others. She
told him of the arrangement she had
made with them and said that she
would also give him chance for her
hand. Whoever of the three was found
in the sepulcher in the morning she
would marry.
Nonsense" replied Bismillah. I'm
not going to make a guy of myself by
sleeping in a tomb"
"Oh, thought you loved me-" re-
piled Fatima.
$50 | do, but not well enough to risk
my life by remaining all night in a
cold sepulcher. What good would it do
me to win a wife and dieY'
sit is very plain" said Fatima, that
you do not love me-"
~ don't call love giving way to
whim."
'.lt is not a whim; it is a test"
Every well. test these other men. l
have no mind to enter such an absurd
competition"
He turned on his heel and left her.
She was very much disappointed. She
had given her word to the other two
to marry the one who should fulfill the
conditions, relying on Bismillah. whom
she knew to be brave and free from
superstidons. to occupy the sepulcher
and thus win her. His refusal upset
all her plans and would give her a
husband she did not wish to marry.
She lay awake all night bemoaning
the miscarriage Of her plan and think
