restaurant. If he lives until Feb
ruary 8, 1912, he will be six years Of
age. During the last three years Pu-
vi nominally has been ruler of more
than 400,000,000 people and of lands
that occupy a greater part OF the
earth than is covered by the United
States.
Princes who hold high places in
China are required to attain high
degree of proficiency, and Pu-Yi no
cares of state. You may be certain
that he cares less for crown and scep-
ter than for such choice morsels or
endearing caresses as may be per-
mitted to one in his exalted station.
Pu-Yi may be tyrant in the eyes
of his nurse when it is time for him
to be tucked away in his imperial bed

Deveaux "a retired physician, an old

were all dressed in winter automobile
garments. 1t was young Haldane who
broke the somewhat awkward pause
consequent upon their entrance.
"Mr. Goodrich" he began unbutton-
ing his coat and slipping 1t off as he

Your pardon, sir" said Gormly,

Haldane impetuously, as she turned at
his voice and recognized him, this is
a great surprise! We didn't know
that you were to be one of our neigh
bors."
She had been in the background
and had not observed their host until
she heard him speak. AS she spoke,
she stepped forward impulsively with
outstretched hand.
Eleanor exclaimed her father in
great surprise, surveying Gormly as
he spoke, with stare as cold as the
winter weather, do you-ah-know
this gentleman"
Certainly l do" returned the girl.
'It Is Mr.. George Gormly of tho CORN

madam, as one of my most valued
customers ever since I moved to
Broadway twenty-one years ago." re-
turned Gormly, who was by no means
ashamed of his business, else he would
not have continued in it.
Yes said Haldane at this juncture,

monotonous regularity to your firm
ever since"

forgive me, I forgot that you did not
know my family"

store, Miss Haldane, and have even
waited upon some of them in other
days myself" replied Gornly, quite as

one in the room.

all. The place was desirable, in that
it was not far-five Or six miles-from
the country place of the Haldane FAM
lily. 1t was bought completely fur
nished, and the staff of servants previ-
ously employed " retained.
Gormly knew from the clipping bu-
reau that 1t was the custom of the
Haldanes to pass the Christmas holi-
days at their country place. He had
seen Miss Haldane rather less fire.
quently Of late, because the work at
the settlement house was now SO far
advanced that 1t was merely matter
of carrying out the plans decided upon
and spending the money so generously
placed in her hands by him, which
did not need much consultation. So,
on the vain hope that chance might
throw him in touch with her, Gormly
decided also to occupy for the Christ
mas season his lonely cottage-it was
called a cottage, although it was more
like baronial mansion than anything
else-on the Long Island shore.
It was showing hard the evening Of
his arrival the day before Christmas,
and Gormly did not like snow. He
had bitter memories intermingled
with a storm, and the sight of the
white, ice covered, snow clad fields
filed him with unpleasant reminis-
cences.
Since he had bought the estate
through the faithful Chaloner, he had
not seen it himself Therefore, after
the excellent dinner which had been
provided by his new chef and served
by his new butler, he determined upon
a careful inspection of his residence

the house. There are ladies In the
party, and"
"Tell them to come up by all means

Ter, "but you know it's half mile by

SYNOPSIS.

7 A foolish young tenderfoot becomes
fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a
drunken prospector In a western mining
town. They prepare to elope in a blind
ing blizzard but are confronted by the
rnaudlin husband. He is shot by the
wife, but the chivalrous boy pins
note to the body taking the crime
upon himself In their fight to the
railroad station the woman's horse
tails exhausted; the youth puts her
on his own and follows hanging to the
Btirrup strap. Seeing he is an impede
ment, the woman thrusts her escort into
snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen
he stumbles into the railroad station just
as the train bears the woman away.
twenty-five years later, this man, George
Gornlly, is q multi-miIlionaire in New
York.

been under civilized rule, but III re
acter has appeared than Tsi An, who
has been called Bismarck in pet
ticoats." For many years before Isl
An died in 1908, she was virtual ruler
of China.
Pu-Yi would not be emperor Of
Tsi An. This woman is an example
of the possibilities in the political
system in that land. When Hen Feng
assembled the throne in 1851 Tsi An
was one Of his concubines of the fifth
class. The real empress had no son,
and when Tsi An gave birth to a son
in 1856 she was raised to the rank
of empress. Hen Feng died in 1861
Isl An practically ruled until her
death, although there had been NOM
inal emperors-Tung Chi and Kwarg
Su. The last named died almost at
the same time as Isl An. He was
childless and Isl An is said to have
chosen his infant nephew, Pu-Yi, as
his successor. Prince Chun, father Of
the baby, was appointed regent
Prince Chun is Twenty-Five years old
and has exercised much influence at
court since he was sent On mission
to Germany in 1901.
When Pu-Yi was proclaimed en-
peror he was declared the adopted
son of the emperor, Tung Chi, in or
der to maintain an imperial tradition
that had been violated by Tsi An
when the late emperor came to the
throne.
