few words in her own language, then
smiled family as he failed to cOmpre-

the wall the way he had come, quite
distressed that his new friend should
not notice him.
Night hours deepened about the pal
ace. Some time toward midnight a
humble of words reached the prisoner
from a space below. This was unusual,
for the voices of the city were too far
distant to carry to the roof and the
shelving palace was mute. The sound
continued, indistinctly. Lexington
waited at the edge of the wall, but
could not hear clearly. Evidently it
was a prayer, very earnestly present
ed. More and more it sounded like the
voice of Andrew March.

You speak OF things unbearable. This

Now the withered and double
SCARED Chinese servant entered the
room, and at his heels came four of
the huge soldiers, the same who had
ridden down the white men in the
ravine, and who also had appeared
against them before the prince. Their
swords dangled and chinked. Their
boots were free from dust, and the
cloaks upon their high shoulders were
of heavy raw silk, a golden yellow.
Their hairy countenances were a four

WELL ENDOWED BY NATURE
Mountain Goat Thoroughly Equipped
for Life in High Attitudes Amid
Snow and Rocks.

"The mountain goat is equally at
home on rock, ice, snow or meadow,
and it lives in bands of two to twenty"
says DIR. William T. Hornaday, writing
of 1.-THE Rocky Mountain Goat at
Home in Boys Life. Its big black
hoofs have chisel edges for ice and
center of rubber cushion for slippery
rock In steep climbing the front Of
the hoof digs in like garden trowel,
and in going down steep places the
rear dewdaws make wonderfully effec-
tive brakes The heavy coat of fine
and dense white wool is impervious TO
dry cold, but the wet and cold rains Of
New York winters quickly put noun
tain goats down and out. In the East
they must be sheltered from all cold
rains. or they contract pneumonia and
die. OF dry cold they can endure any
amount
''In the matter of food, we must say
that the goat is herbivOrous, and ex-
plain that it feeds on a great variety
Of mountain plants, according to sea-
son. On the SUBMITS they find vero
little real grass, but they find pull
satiIla and other queer pasture plants
that are literally just as good In the
spring they feed on the wild onions
that grow abundantIy in their home
pastures, which imparts to their flesh
q strong onion favor"

Manor House Find.

The story Of the find Of 1000 spade
guineas in the press OF an old Hert-
fordshire Eng-) manor house Is told
In The BoOkman's Journal. The house
changed owners, and the new pro-
prietor, a few weeks after taking pos
session, examined the attics systemat-
icaIIy. In one OF the presses there
he found q number Of tattered and
stained books, among them Doctor
Croly's 4Salathiel," which he opened
In casual curiosity. On "a page he
came across a penciled nate, indicat-
ing where veIuableS had been hfddea
in the house during the crisis Of the
'45 rebellion. Forthwith he had the
flooring OF a cupboard taken up, and
there IA a cavity lay some thousand
spade guineas, a quantity OF rare

CHAPTER vIII-continued.

The princess was startled, and her
face seemed rather pale as she stared
at him. It was apparent that she cher
ished the plan of the empire Of the
Yellow Sun, perhaps because she was
born to be an American. Lexington
wondered If she knew what the
Asiatic Interpretation OF this idea
might require, from herself in particu-
lar. In caliphate and 'khanate, there
can be no plan of priest, warrior or
king that is not discussed behind the
lattices Of the female courts, and no
girl is too young to know her place in
the scheme. Indeed, the statecraft of
the Orient often originates within
these fragrant sanctuaries.
Tau Kuan imprisoned much of
beauty. Helen had been broadly edu-
Gated. Lexington was tossed unhap-
PLY between the girlish purity of the
princess and the probable depths of
her sophisticatiOn. Something, per-
haps a masculine pride, limited TO him
that she was amusing herself with two
credulOus white men. Something re-
minded him that she had Irish blood,
the spring of sublety and grave humOr.
The same faculty in Con reminded
him also how nicely she had concealed
a surprise that would have been nat
ural upon meeting two Americans for
the first time in her life, and particu-
larry one of them her own father.
Yet this might be nothing more than
result of Chinese training, the self
control that nothing can disturb.

March was saying ardentIy. "a city

Helen was pensive. THAT is what

March sighed brOkenly. Even Besur

March gave him, a look of trust and
appeal. Helen did not comprehend
the new intensity in Levington's gray
blue eyes; she knew nothing of the
pain she started in the heart of this
wanderer. Then her father humbly

WETMORE SERVICE FUR TOURISTS AT
 BATCHER'S GARAGE

Automobile tourists passing through or visiting Phoenix can now avail themselves of "Wetmore Service" through the centally located Batcher's Garage on North Second avenue, the only Wetmore station in Phoenix
 According to Batcher this service costs nothing. That is you get a serv- ice book free which entities the holder to secure his gasoline and oil at a sav- ing of per cent. It is said that these service stations are established all along the national highway and the books are good at any station. One of the primary advantages of this serv- ice is that the Wetmore garage in each town is selected for it's ability to render a high quality of service and because of it's recognized mechanical depart ment, central location, and the fact that it is always open.
 Batcher in explaining this new serv- ice says that it is intended for visit ing tourists only, but that it will not interfere with his regular quality serv- ice which he has been giving every day in the year.
