was encamped outside the town. Con-
seauently he failed to meet the one
herald of disaster whose advent quick

Watson was busying himself with
correspondence. and Clark was once
more reading through what he had
written to Manning when both men
became conscious of some one running
ND the steps and painting laborlously
for breath. The chick was flung open,
and an American named Jackson, o

units of the scattered community to
reach the consulate were supplied with
automatic pistols and ammunition and

from houses outside of the city limits.

the consulate and its compound offer

place which would be a death trap IL
battered by artillery. but gave ade-
quate barrack accommodation to a de-
tachmcnt of marines. Moreover, the
fort was entirely surrounded by native
habitations, which must necessarily be
destroyed before field Of fire could

on open ground, was readily accessible
from two main roads and could be APP

advancing from the river.
The first shot in an outbreak destined
TO disturb the state department at
washington for many day was fired
bv the rioters about 2 O'Clock In the
afternoon, and the whole city rose in
ungovernable uproar within fifteen
minutes.
Happily for the white people. how.
ever, the mob lacked organization and
control. The fate OF the community
hinged ON two considerations. In the

few white people. helped by a handful
Of adherents among the Chinese-all
told the fighting men would not num-
Der 200-either to hold out until relief
came or quell the outbreak by their
own unaided efforts7 The answer to
these questions lay on the lap Of the
gods.
Watson, chief assistant In the con-
sulate, was warned by people flying
from the city that he would be killed
without mercy once he entered the
gates. Others, too. tried to persuade
him that the marines were already en-
route with the Gatlings. But he press
ed on doggedly, well knowing that the
noncommissioned officer left In charge
of the fort would hardly abandon II
without orders during the first few
minutes Of rising. while It was oil i'm
portant that the city should be crossed
before the sheer numbers of the mob
rendered such a course practically i'm
possible.
He encountered his first real difficult
ty at the main gate, which had been
closed and barred by its guardians.
Luckily these men were in some sense
servants Of the state, being subordi-
mates of the n-kin or customs board,
whose main sources Of revenue were
tapped on the river wharfs and in
the four chief entrances to the bazaar.
Until the riot developed into success

vested authority would be found
AMONG them.
Watson therefore Numbered on the
heavy doors and clamored for admit

seen that messenger from the con-
sulate might come by that route and
had taken measures accordingly. Prob
ably the heavy doors were difficult to
open; probably, too, the gatekeepers

the consul had 80 fortunately thrust
into his hand. His assailants were
compelled to drop n good fourteen feet,
and the momentary pause ere they
scrambled into a combined attack gave
Watson seconds respite, which he
promptly utilized by shooting two of
them dead. The third, Chinaman,
ran for his life, and the American de-
cided not to, waste ammunition, but
keep his bullets for range at which
time they were bound to be effective.
The shooting, coupled with his re-
iterated demand for admission, at last
bestirred the functionaries inside, and
the gate opened slowly. Watson strode
up to the man whom he knew was In
charge Of the post.
"You keepee that gate open alice

She caught her breath and the col

face. Yet she was not shocked at the
suggestion as she would once have

be no harm in her lunching with a

he would never ask her. He felt too
much above her.
This sudden thought made her
want to accept Bainbridge's invita-
