a packet to the spot where he thought adven-

When Spike wanted to use it, he had influ-

his name, a few facts about himself, and sud-
denly doors opened to him. He didn't bother to
make himself known as a rule-but we did
want to meet Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, and Spike ar
ranged it. Was it just to meet famous Chinese,
or because he wanted more action in the Far
East? l never knew.

right is a bit of silver Do you know we're
about broke?"
Spike and decided on Tibet as our next des-
tination but waited few days to see the final
action. Court officials had agreed to open the
last gate to the Audience Palace, holy of holies
so that this sacred place would not be pro-
famed beyond endurance. Nations of the Allies
were to file into the city, and we refused to
miss anything. The foreign diplomatic corps
had taken things in hand and stayed the am
bitions of various commanding oficers-for the
one purpose of saving embarrassment to the
Dowager
With Homer Lea and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen ready
to back up the idea of democracy, China right
then had her first chance to become republic.
But the invading Allies would have nothing to
do with republics. They knew the lady of the
palace, and preferred to deal with the old dy-
nasty.
The review was set for early morning, about
7:3O and Spike stood beside me, as near to the
last unopened gate as possible First came two
Yamen in blue robes falling to their slippered

ing well-disciplined Slavs.

in behind the Russians, trying to look important
No ore spoke to us. The palace courtyard was
overgrown with weeds; empty cartridges lit

lined Manchu soldiers armed with swords and
rifles.
In the city looting began as if licensed Off

cades, silks, jade and ornaments. The Boxer

'T suppose" Spike said regretfully, that the
diplomats can handle the situation; doesn't
seem to be anything more for us to do" He
spoke as If we had taken Peking by ourselves.
It was true that the Chinese army had melted
like snowiakes in the sunlight; charms and
