Year to Cover
National Capital.

list of government institutions and
places to be seen. AS she visits each
one it is crossed off the list and the
date recorded, thus enabling the teach
ers to keep track of each pupil. BY
the end of the year she is supposed to
have covered everything worth seeing
in the capital.
Congressional debates are usually
well attended by seminary girls. They
fill the galleries with noise and clat-
ter lily suppressed by the chaperons
until they are seated: instantly, then,
there is hush and they lean over the
rail with interested faces. The girl
from home never altogether loses her
awe of the United States Senate. Many
of the senators she afterward meets
at their wives receptions, where they
have a curiously changed and unim-
presSive appearance. At close range
she finds that the august presence is
just like pa and all the other men back
home.
The young ladies' seminary is an in
stitution all it's own. 1t differs from
other schools in that its courses are
expanded or shortened to fit the needs
of the individual pupil, whereas at
public schools and colleges the pupils
must adapt herself to fit the courses.
If n young woman is nervous and I'M
able to concentrate, the seminary pre-
scribes exercises and sees that she
goes through them daily. If she COM
plains of tired feeling and looks
anemic, it does not insist that she get
her algebra or ancient history. but
makes her sit still every morning and
take sun baths and eggs and milk.
Often she receives better medical care
than she would in her own home.
The seminary is still of the opinion
that the destiny of the majority of
young women is marriage. All the
PHILOSOPHERS of Norway and the care
fully prepared articles on the ECONOMIC
independence of woman have left the
seminares unperturbed with their
waiting lists increasing. They are go
ing upon the assumption that woman's
place is the home, and that she should
be taught how to take care of it and
understand the social graces which
constitute the customs of the country.
If girl displays talent for art or
music they develop it as far as they
can, but they also take equal pains to
develop her social poise and command
of situation.

OF the younger.an enlightened reformers
who look for the regeneration of the in
dustry Of their country rather by frater-
ternizing with than by keeping aloof from
or being actively hostile to the thought
and spirit of the west. At this date can
only add that All Singh seems to be assist
ed by sort ofainformal council made up Of
delegates from the various eastern races.
He affects to consult these advisers. In
reality they are the merest puppets Of his
will. believe the man, IN addition to his
other powers can exercise mesmeric in
fluence to an extent that would surprise
even Professor Charcot of Paris. Nothing
could be more illuminative than the ex-'
traordinary effect he produced on natives
and white men alike in the very crux Of d
deadly struggle. His amazing dominance
at that moment has impressed me more
deeply than any other phase OF q most
alarming and significant chapter In cur
rent history I tell you again. Manning,

The youthful diplomats thoughtful
face showed that he at least did not
regard the consul's warnings as the
vaporings of an overwrought imagina-
ton. He had underlined certain pas
sages when first the letter came to
hand; and seemed now to ponder these
again with painstaking deliberation.
He was absorbed in the task when
servant entered and announced visit
tors.
Manning rose. with smile, and
shook hands with Captain Kemp Of the
New York police, with nod Of cheer
full recognition for the smart looking
men in uniform who accompanied him.
Kemp had been specially detailed by
tha commissioner TO obey Manning's
behests in every particular. His sur
prise may be well imagined, therefore.

spr1ghtliness. These two girls, strik-
ing examples of feminine charm in
such opposites as east and west, had
been insensibly attracted to each other,
and Margaret In an expansive moment
had confded to Manning that she was
almost jealous" of the interest taken
by Malta In his portrait
Manning had not thought it neces-
sary to give these personal and conf
dental details to the police captain.
Indeed, he meant to efface himself and
use Kemp as figurehead, SO that Ali
Singh should never know whose hand
it was which had really struck him.
Once the man was safely deported
and the Chinese government became
officially responsible for his future
good behavior there would be an end
to his activities, since PelSing usually
fulflls such trusts by decapitating the
legatee.
Nevertheless the young diplomatist
felt nervous and i'll at ease, and his
profound thankfulness MAXWELL be I'M
agined therefore when the detective
who had made the voyage from China
met him with the reassuring statement
that All Singh had fallen overheard
in midocean and was undoubtedly
drowned.
Manning could hardly trust bis ears.

ing lest the man should be taking for
granted some strange occurrence
which, while Enthusiastically exact,
might leave loophole for the SEEM

There can't be the least doubt about

"AIi Singh Outwits the Law"


"HE measures concerted by Man
ming and Kemp for the discom-
future of Ali Singh were as com
plete as was humanity. possible
though their plans were somewhat
baked at the outset by an accident
supposedly due to fire. which had put
the Moyitia's wireless out Of commits
sion. But the vessel herself was re-
ported SAFE and her latitude on a date
subsequent to the mishap showed that
she had suffered little If any delay.
It was noteworthy that: Ali Singh
had chosen the long route via the cape
in preference to the most direct Jour
ney by way of Honolulu to San Fran
cisco. m all probability he reckoned
that man Of his social Importance
would gain admission to the United
States more easily In the east than in
the west.
Speaking generally, such a belief
would be well founded. But he was
counting without the deep seated, If
vague, anxiety Of Consul Clark and the
pulsing energy of Manning. Such were
the precautions taken at the port Of
New York that 1t seemed to be almost
impossible for rat to win clear Of the
Moyitia without failing to fal, into the

Manning, however, was devoted to
his work. After the first spasm Of an
noyance had passed be searched a let
ter file for certain papers and gave his
mind wholly to the puzzling task so
Unexpectedly imposed. The cable
gram itself looked innocuous enough.
1t read:

Simple as the words seemed, they
were evidently connected in some mys-
FERROUS way with the letter which Con-
sui Clark was writing when a san
culinary riot broke out in the treaty
port of Han Koi. That letter was
+ lying on Manning's table. With it
were copies of the volum1nous report
sent by the consul to the American
ambassador in Picking and thence trans
mitted to the state department at
Washington.
But the dry as dust official state
ment dealt only with ascertained facts,
whereas the more personal document
delyed into speculative theory. Yet
the worried consul had not added ma
terially to the missiye left uncomplet-
ed when the first shot of the riot sum-
moned him to action. He simply re-
ferred Manning to the official version
of the incident forwarded by the en-
bassy and added an explanatory note
to the effect that man named Tong
Flu, young Chinese of good standing
who had secretly become a Christian
and was employed In Ali Singh's pal
acc, had disappeared suddenly.

Manning was armed with full au-
thority. Every Chinaman-indeed, ev-
cry individual of doubtful nationality
found on board the Moyitia would be
arrested and kept under lock and key
until bis previous record and the good
faith of the business which brought
him to America had been thoroughly
investigated. A government launch
would ferry Manning himself and Cap
tain Kemp, with number OF sharp
eyed assistants, to the ships side ST.
ties. In addition to the searching In
quiry which would take place on board
the vessel, strict watch would be kept
on her gangways when she was berth
ed, while fast speeding patrol boats
would see to 1t that no one quilted her
surreptitiously.
Nevertheless Manning felt certain
uneasiness. The consurs letter had
affected him more than he cared to
confess. Ali Singh's personality seem
ed to loom from its pages in sinister,
ghoul-like way that was all the more
threatening because of its indefinite
ness.
One item therein he had not com
municated to Kemp. Ali Singh's niece,

than passing interest.
The oriental girl, it appeared, was
remarkable for her grace and beauty.
Her features were of the pure Grecian
type found among the highest caste Of
Hindus and attributed by ethnologists
to the racial influence Of certain lost
legions belonging to Alexander's 10000.
