Heart
Quest Fer a Hidden Ruby In
the Hills of China
By JAMES A. RELLICK

The little woman in black had kept
to herself during the long voyage from
San Francisco to Shanghai. and now
with the China coast lying straight
ahead. long, fiat line of yellow mers-
ing into the muddy. yellow waters OF
the broad mouth of the Yangtzekiang,
she eyed her fellow passengers with
close scrutiny.
Archer Clarkson had noticed her
from the very beginning, perhaps be
cause of her evident though self I'M
posed loneliness, as well as the serene
beauty of her face. To her fellow pas
senger she was Mrs. Pearce, widow.
To Clarkson she was an object of in
terest.
He was surprised on this last day of
the voyage when she approached him
where he stood near the ships rail and
spoke.
"Mr. Clarkson." she said, rather tim
idly. while faint color flushed her
clear skin, ''the captain tells me that
you are a resident Of Shanghai and
may be Of assistance to me. l am a
perfect stranger here and-I need
helpw
cit will give me the greatest pleas
ure to be Of assistance" assured Clark
son courteously. pray command me;
am entirely at your service"
"You are more than kind" she said,
with little tremor in her voice II
need a friend. oh, so badly! l have
most delicate and dangerous mission
to perform, and need the advice and
help of friend. May ] call you that.
Mr.. ClarksonY'
II shall be honored, Mrs. Pearce." he
said sincerely.
THANK you. Now, let me say that
although my mission is dangerous
one, IL it is successfully accomplished
1t will make me a very rich woman
and you a rich man. although. pardon
me, you may be rich beyond the
dreams Of avarice' already" She
smiled charmingly.
II am anything but rich,'' laughed
Clarkson.
Mrs. Pearce put out an eager little
hand
"Then you are just the man to help
me out" she cried enthusiastically.
Again Clarkson laughed.
II begin to see that poverty has its
advantages" he said.. clasping her
hand in his for an instant.
Thank you." she said simply. Il
felt that could before l approached
you. Let me state the case briefly:
am the widow Of Henry Pearce. who
commanded the big steamer Catalpa,
plying between Vancouver and the far
eastern ports. My husband had lived
In China many years and had good
friends among the Chinese as well as
the foreigners.
-Four years ago Captain Pearce had
vacation and when he reached Shang-
hal turned the Catalpa over to COM

Of moss beneath the crooked pine
Digging the mound away revealed
little fiat stone. and the removal of the
stone showed round hole faced with
cement that apparently led down into
the rear of the rock temple. 1t looked
very dark down there. and Clarkson
thrust his long arm down and clutch
ed something hard and round like q
metal box. He brought it up and was
looking down into the cavity when
part Of the wall near the bottom fell
away and a yellow hand was thrust
in from the rock temple in "a futile
search for the treasure
I'VE must get out of this" said
Clarkson quickly. and he related the
incident to Van Ping. In very short
time the searchers below would dis
cover that the treasure had been found
by the Americans and there would be
murder and bloodshed at once.
Van Ping earned the undying graft
tude of his master that afternoon.
The Chinese on guard was an opium
smoker. and his senses were dulled by
the drug Now he sat drowsily at the
edge of the precipice. the rope hang
ing loosely In his hand. The end of
the rope had been twisted around the
sturdy limb Of tree, affording a pur-
chase for the manipulation Of the
sling.
Van Ping reached up and cut the
I'D hn
ped hissingly through the weak grasp
Of the guard. and before the man re-
allied what had happened the rope had
dropped from his fingers and the sling
chair dangling below fell hurtling into
the river.
The guard screamed shrilly. but his
cries were instantly stilled by Van
Pings big blue handkerchief tied about
bis mouth.
Then, hand in hand. Clarkson and
Nita Pearce went back along the way
they had come, and Van Ping led the
way.
At last they came up to the camp Of
the trackers. and Clarkson offered
them double pay to put off in the boat
at once.
Nita Pearce sat in the stern of the
boat. her hand in Archer Clarkson's.
There was an unspoken understanding
between these two. who had met SO
casually and who had taken this haz-
ardous journey after the Flaming
Heart
They spoke of the Chinese bandits
imprisoned in the rock temple and
they spoke of the moment when they
might safely open the little bronze
box that was hidden in Clarkson's
pocket. They tnlked about rewarding
Van Ping They did not talk Of them
selves.
At last came the moment when. back
In Shanghai at Mrs. Pearces hotel.
they opened the bronze box and looked
upon the beautiful ruby which had
cost many lives and the possession of
which meant the beginning Of new
life for Clarkson.
isn't it wonderful?" whispered Nita
Pearce as she looked down at the
glowing ruby.
"Rea'utiful." agreed Clarkson. but he
was looking at Nita's face.
The loveliest thing / ever saw"
murmured Nita. lifting her gray eyes
to smile at him.
Il have seen lovelier'' said Clark
son. looking deep into her eyes,
Now she understood. and presently
when they stood. their faces close to-

Heart they saw reflected in its glow

The Young Mems Christian ASso-
citation is an organization devoted 70
the development of ideals Whoch are
promotive of good citizenship ano
which stimulates and upholdS 9
moral standard in the communities
where it is located.
This organization is a valuable ac-
uuisition wherever its influence i
felt In Shreveport this organiza-
tion has been revived and is apply
ing its effSrts to9practical endeav-
ors. On its roll of membership are
men who occupy prominent posi-
tions in the variouS pursuits OF lie
Since its revival the Y. M. Z. A
through Secretary Bretthauer has
been applying its worhnto the juve-
niles of the community. There is nc
city or town without its boys which
may be helped. In every boy there
is some good and some bad, but as
a rule the good may be promoted
from the boys who are rated as bad
Unfortunately it is not every boy
whose home is attractive. Nor is u
always the poor boy, the boy in neeo
who wanders from his home. 1t il
the worldwide record that boys are
swerved through the company they
keep. Evil associates will corrup
the best of boys We should always
bear in mind that boys become men
and as boys so may they be men
either useful and honorable OF
worthless idlers if not criminals.
The precepts of the Y M. C. R. as
are applied to boys are:
/. That it is better to train boy
to do right than to restrain hin
from doing wrong.
2. That it is easier to cultivate
good habits than to remove bat
ones.
5. That it is cheaper to prevent
the crime than to cure the criminal
4. That it is business-like to form
character instead of trying to re.
form it. =
5. That il is better TO win boy tC
the Christian life when he is in the
formative period than to wait unit
he is hardened.
n. That every community should
give its boys the best of intelligent
care.
!. That the best supervision can be
brought about by community CO.
operation.
8. That even if a community gain:
the whole world it is profited moth
ing if it lose its own boys.
The ". M. G. Al. is open to MEM
bership to every citizen who would
be a help to the boys of his
community, and therefore it shoul6
receive the most generous encour-
agement.
