CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS
Dressed in Her Best Silks and Most
Dazzling Jewels, Oriental Woman
Watches Films All Day.

China has capitulated to the picture
show. So much so, in fact, that Chi
nese women now make attendance a
social event, to be observed with dis
play of their choicest and most beauti-
full silks and most dazzling jewels.
Instead of social functions at home,
with tea and music and that sort Of
thing, Chinese women who would be in
fashion eat a large breakfast, adOrn
themselves like New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for a day Of watching the films
flicker.
"The motion picture craze in China"
said Ernest Young, who has been sew
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, "nOw has reached a
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action In
their film entertainment, and gladly sit
in n theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The Orientals, according to Mr.. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
"ChineSe audiences" Mr.. Young said,
"are very demOnstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their ap-
proval in rOusing cheers and wild ap-
plause."

CHAPTER XVI.

The days and weeks drifted into
months, and John remained in London.
His circle of friends and his interests
had widened, 1t was only his rela-
tiOns with Louise which remained still
unchanged. Always charming to him,
giving him much of her time, favoring
him, beyond Il doubt, more than any of
her admirers, there was yet about her
something elusive, something which
seemed intended to keep him so far as
possible at arms length.
There was nothing tangible of which
he could complain, and this probation
airy period was of his own suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever 1t was possible, by her side
with dogged persistence. Then one eve
ming there was knock at his door,
and Stephen Strangewey walked in.
Stephen, although he seemed little
taller and gaunter than ever, though
he seemed to bring into the perhaps
overwarmed atmosphere of Johns lit

som.thinn New About Birds.

Prof. A. A. Allen, in the Scientific
American, declares that polygamy eN-
lists among several varieties of our
common birds. The felicity of mated
birds and the "cooing dove" theory has
received shock from Professor Al
lens discovery. Mr.. Robin does not de-
serve all the praise that has been
showered upon him; neither does Mr..
Wren, for they are both polygamists,
says Mr.. Allen. He tells Of finding two
different pairs of robins nests, the
two nests in each pair built exactly
alike, joined together and having a
common foundation. Two female rob-
ins raised broods, sitting side by side
in two different nests, one male robin
presiding over both households.

He strOde away into the farther
room. He reappeared In a moment or
two, his hair smoothly brushed, his tie
newly arranged.
"Tll come, little girl" he promised.
IL don't know what I'll say to her, but
I'll come. There can't be any harm In
that !"

John squared his shoulders.
"All the same" he declared grimly,

play, and lock up GraillOt for month,
tonight, I'd do it,"

The government of Peru Is taking
steps for vigorous campaign against
malaria throughout the country. The
work is to be classified under four
heads: Treatment of patients, pro-
lection of people living in places where
malaria is recognized as epidemic, de-
struction of germ-transmitting insects,
and drainage or other special treat
ment of swampy lands. In cOnnec-
ton with its campaign the Peruvian
government will import annually what
ever quantity of quinine may be
deemed necessary, such imports to be
exempt from import duties and port
charges. Individuals and institutions
are to be enabled to purchase this
Quinine from the government at cost
price for their own use or treatment
of malaria patients in their charge.

walked to the corner Of the street in
gloomy silence. Then he remembered
his companion. He stopped short.
"Sophy," he begged. "don't hold me

She drew a little closer to him.
Let me come, please!" she begged,
with pathetic, almost childllke culver
at the corner of her lips.
He looked down at her. A sudden
wave of tenderness swept every other
thought from his mind. His mental
balance seemed suddenly restored. He
hailed passing taxi and handed Sophy

to her. She watched him, fascinated.

He broke off in the middle of his SEN

opened, and SOphy Gerard made a
somewhat impetuOuS entrance.

pardon! l hadn't the least idea you
had anyone with you"
She stood still in surprise, a little

From his great height Stephen
looked down upon the girls upturned
face little austerely. She chattered
away, entirely unabashed.
II do hope you're not shocked at my
bursting in upon your brother like
this! We really are great pals, and I
live only just across the way. We are
much less formal up here, you know,
than you are in the country. John, I've

She nodded.

she explained, 'but she has to go down
to Streatham to open bazaar and she
can't possibly be back In time to dine
before the theater. Can you guess what
she dared to suggest?'
II think can," John replied, smiling.

Louise glanced at her watch sat up
in bed, and turned reprOachfully
toward Aline.
"Aline, do you know 1t is only eleven
o'clock?" she exclaimed.
II am very sorry, madame" the lat
ter fastened to explain, "but there is

you can receive him. thought you
would like to know"
"A gentleman at this hour Of the

better than to wake me up before the
proper time"
81 am very sorry, madame" Aline re-
piled. II hesitated for some time, but
thought you would like to know that
the gentleman was here. 1t is Mr..
Stephen Strangewey-Mr. Johns
brother"
Louise clasped her knees with her
fingers and sat thinking. She was wide
awake now.
"He has been here some time al
ready, madame" Aline continued. 81
did not wish to disturb you, but !
thought perhaps it was better for you
to know that he was here"
"Quite right Aline," Louise decided.
"Go down and tell him that l will see
him In half an hour, and get my bath
ready at once"
Louise dressed herself simply but
carefully. She could conceive of but
one reason for Stephens presence in
her house, and it rather amused her. 1t
was, of course, no friendly visit. He
had come either to threaten or to
cajole. Yet what could he dO2 What
had she to fear? She went over the in
terview in her mind, imagining him
crushed and subdued by her superior
subtlety and tinesse.
With n little smile of coming triumph
upon her lips she descended the stairs
and swept into her pleasantly warmed
and perfumed little drawing-room. She
even held out her hand cordially to the
dark, grim figure whose outline against
the dainty white wall seemed so inap-
prOpriate.
This Is very nice Of you indeed, Mr..
Strangewey," she began. II had no idea
that you had followed your brothers
example and come to town."
She told herself once more that her
slight instinct of uneaSineSS had been
absurd. Stephens bow, although lit
tie formal and austere, was still an
acknowledgment of her welcome. The
shadows of the room, perhaps, had pre-
vented him from seeing her out
stretched hand.
Mine Is very short visit, Miss Maui

for coming but to see John and to pay
this call upon you"

him. "You must please sit down and
make yourself comfortable while we
talk. See, this is my favOrite place"
she added. dropping into corner of
her lounge. "Will you sit beside me2
Or, if you prefer, draw up that chair"

She raised her eyebrows Her tone
altered.

would never have crossed our thresh-

was adapting her tone and manner to
the belIigerency of his attitude

he had turned away and left her, after
she had heard his measured tramp de-
scending the stairs, her fingers flew to
her throat. She held herself tightly,
standing there with beating heart and
throbbing pulses. 1t was not until the
front door had closed that she had
the strength to move, to throw herself
face downward upon the couch.
Louise ate very small luncheon,
but--an unusual thing for her--she
drank two glasses of wine. Just as
she had finished, Sophy came in, with
ink-stained fingers and serious ex-
preston.
