A Miracle Of the Future
CBy Georges Ista)

IN HIS is the story Of an old Chinese
peasant named POu, who would
have been very happy if he had
not been foolish enough to marry a
wife much younger than himself
Her name was Li-Ii and when Pou
made it known that he intended to
marry her his friends and neighbors
warned him and told him many IN
pleasant stories about her.
But Li-li had beautiful hair, a fine
yellow complexion and sparkling black
eyes, and Pau was quite bewitched and
refused TO listen to any of his friends
and neighbOrs Their warnings only
had the effect OF making him fix the
wedding day a whole month earlier.
Pou's house was situated at the main
road leading from Pekin to Kalgan.
The road was always filled with traV-
elers, but surely POu had never no
uced so many young men among the
passersby as he did after his marriage.
Their number seemed to grow every
day and no wonder, for the beautiful
Ll-1 was ever ready to flirt with every
one of them and he- flirtatiOns made
her poor husbands life miserable.
Then she ran away
The neighbors told Pou that he
ought TO have listened TO their advice
IN time and that they had long expect
eu lndL nad now happened.
They had seen Li-i running away
towards kalgan with young man.
The fugitiYes had elOped on horse
back and had a start. of several hours,
so poor Pou could do nothing more
than cry, for he had not even a mule
with which TO follow.
he had cried for several hours when
he was alarmed by a strange weird
noise, the like Of which he had never
before heard. He looked all around but
saw nothing, neither man nor beast
But still the Unearthly noise continued
and rapidly increased in strength.
The old man raised his head and
high up in the air in the direction of
Pekin he saw an immense white bird
coming swiftly towards him through
its wings did not appear to move at all.
1t grew in size and the noise grew al
most deafening, and POu understood
that it could be no real bird but
dragon, one of the gigantic monsters
he had hitherto only known from pic
ture.
Suddenly the noise stopped There
was a sound Of a metal striking the
ground and POu heard a voice address
ing him in a language he did not IN
derstand.
The monster was standing motion
less close by and two strange men who
looked more like gigantic apes than
