CHAPTER ~
The Feathered Needle.

The Ensurta Queen was neither the
largest nor the newest ship afioat.
The Pacific was inclined to handle her
roughly. She was not long enough to
be comfortable In breeze, but she
was of sturdy depth. profitable to
her owners. The wind was sharper
than Lexington had anticipated.
Nothing was as he had planned. He
went shivering to his cabin.
The fire that lurked in Cons veins
was not sanity. He never knew that
his mother had dwelt on the clear
heights of emotion. that John Leving-
ton had seen all things with the vision
of n poet. Even In those shabby fra
grant days In Dory street, toward the
last, the father had mentioned the
beauty of Gods world not meant for
himself, and had looked to his little
boy for answer.
Often after that Lexington glanced
across Mt Chez Ming In the dining
salon or passed him on deck. A per-
feet lack of relation was preserved
between them, as II they had never
met before.
The Ensurta Queen hesitated at
Nagasaki, let go a little of her burden,
and bounced onward into the Yellow
sea The wind changed thrice, lifted.
then died. The ship was not quieted,
but wallowed anyway. A thick
dim mist filled the air. cold. riven
only by the Ensurta's dignified warn
ing. which was repeated every forty
seconds throughout the final night and
day.
Small. low craft scuttled out Of her
path. The presence OF the ancient
Yellow Mother permeated the fog, as
If creeping out from Invisible shores
to sniff the stranger-Old Mother
China, who started half the good
things of the world but left them for
others to finish, to abuse and forget.
Some of her best have never been dis
covered. She Is waiting. She did not
ask for the Torch of Light, and there
was no sorrow in her yielding when
they took It from her. Her timeless
eyes have never wept, and they will
never smile. Dynasties, empires, races
of men. emerge from her, cast their
tinsel upon the dust, and vanish. God
knows where and Mother China waits,

votes were cast in favor of
the school board permitting the use

day baseball while 119 votes were cast
but five spoiled ballots.
1t was a lively election and consid-
cradle interest was manifest. The polls
at the city hall were open from to

of voters from the opening hour until
the polls closed. On the street. there
was considerable electioneering, es-
Decially on the part of those fayoring
Sunday ball and several automobiles
from the city hall. Handbills were in
evidence everywhere urging voters to
favor the proposition.
The special election was called by
the board of education for the purpose
of getting the sentiment OF the electors
of Denison in regard to this question
which has been paramount for several
years. While the board has not es-
capped censor for calling the election
there can be no doubt now but what
