old bachelor, who, with the excep-
ton of houseEeeper, lived alone
In a great weather-beaten old man
sion on the river road. He lived
a very secluded kind of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets OF the
town, and attracted very little atten-
ton when he was seen. There were
hardly ten people in the place that
knew the man or anything concerning
his life.
Yet there had been a time in the
life of Perry Fanchion when he had
attracted a great deal of attention,
and won the sympathy and pity of
the whole town. That had been over
forty years ago, and in the meantime
the town had changed from village
into city. The old families had died
out and the younger generation had
forgotten the history Of Perry Fam
chion.
1t was Christmas eve night and bit
terly cold. Sleet and snow drove with
lncessant fury against the great French
windows. The heavy old oak doors
ratified and shook, while the wind
shrilled mournfully among the many
old-fashioned gables and chimneys.
Perry sat gazing into the fire. His
hair was snow-white, his eyes were
dark and tonight they had a tragic,
gloomy look.
On the old colonial furniture the
sinister faces carved there grinned hor-
ribly and the iron claws seemed to

In Renouncing the Throne
Calls On People to
Save Nation.
COUNTRY'S FAULTS
NINE, HE DECLARES
Had Yielded Only to Irresistible
Insistence of Popular
Representatives.

Washington. March 23-PresiGen'
Yuan Shih-ksi's mandate renouncing his
acceptance OF the title Of Emperor OF
China and declaring China's return 20
republican government was made pub
lie in part tonight by the Chinese Le-
CATION
In IL Yuan says he consented 20 pro
posals FOR a monarchy after "irresist-
ible' insistence by convention ofpop-
ular representatives, but. feeling that
acceptance Of the throne would violate
his oath ss President. never took any
steps 20 put the monarchial programme
actually into effect.
For his failure 10 oppose the mon
srchial movement more vigorously
however, he takes upon himself the
blame for AL the faults Of the coun-
try" and calls upon all Chinese 20
unite in saving a nation which. through
internal dissension, as racing 10 per-
dition.'
The gist OF the mandate as esbled
here and given out by the legation fol-
lows:
The acting II Ia Yuan State
CounciD decided that the question
about the form Of the state should be
settled by a convention OF citizens
representatives. In consequence rep
resentstives Of the provinces and spe,,
cial administrative areas were elected
and a convention was called. These
representatives Of the convention unsn-
imously decided in favor of consti-
tutional monarchy and elected me En-
peror
Nevertheless / was convinced that
my sudden elevation 70 the throne
would constitute a violation OF my
oath. When the trouble IN Iunnan and
Kwei Chow arose ! issued a mandate
postponing the measure and iorbld-
ding the presentation Of petitions pray
ing for my enforcement. Being a
man of bitter experiences, ! cared for
nothing but the salvation Of my coun-
try.
Of virtue. Why should ! blame others
The people have been thrown into mis-
ery. The soldiers have been made 10
bear hardships; commerce has de-
clined. Taking this condition into con-
sideration, feel exceedingly sorry.
al am still Of the opinion that the
designation petitions submitted through
the acting Ii Fs Yuan are unsuiied
10 the circumstances OF the country
The official acceptance Of the throne
on December II is hereby cancelled
Those who advocated the monarchy
were prompted by the desire to
strengthen the foundation Of the coun,
try. but as their methods have, proved
unsuitable their patriotism might harm
the country.
"Those who opposed the monarchy
have done so out of the desire to e1-
press their political views.
In brief. all the faults OF tho eoun-
try arc mine. Now that the accept
arce Of the throne has been cancelled
every man will be responsible ior ms
own action should he further disturb
peace and give cause for pretext. l.
the President. being charged with the
duty Of ruling the country, cannot re-
main Idle while the country is racing
10 perdition. Let all our generals Of
ficials. soldiers and citizens act ac-
cording TO this ideal"
