Kai Wang marched on just in ad- vance, ready to do any talking that might be necessary, and cutting quite a wide swath in his important bearing, as though still noting the part -of a man- darin. Probably there was not one of them but who wished most earnestly that the night was over, and their work ac- contplrshed. Who would not have done so under the same conditions, with unknown perils in various shapes and guises sur- rounding them. •and the whole future an uncertain prospect? It is always much more pleasant, not to mention the staid comfort of the thing, to look back at privations and dangers, and figure how close a call this or that came near being, than the actual experience itself proves. Devious windings, followed by Kai Wang for a policy of his own, finally brought them to a certain point in the rear of a towering building. which Lord Hackett at once judged to be the iden- tical imperial palace that was the ulti- mate object of their sojourn within the hostile wails of the inner city. He surveyed the, marble pile with in- terests It had a massive look, as though cap- able of resisting considerable -force; though, of course. this would only ap- ply to the regulation Chinese method of battering rams. One ordinary modern gun would riddle the edifice like a sieve and send it clattering about the startled 'ears of the imperial law -makers. To our little party of adventurers the coin surface of stone looked very for- bidding; and. left to themselves, Larry and the Englishman would have been hard pressed to discover some modus operandi whereby an entrance might be effected. More, than ever were they forced to the conviction that Kai Wong stood to them in the light of the wizard whose magic wand was, to open these (Mors of brass and shoes them the way to the dungeon beneath. Fortunate, indeed. might they deem themselves who had such a bright mind at their beck and call. Heaven knows they had need of him.. Alone in the elreets of the jealously - guarded Forbidden City, they would necessarily soon have attracted atten- tion', and drawn upon their heads the feerfutswrath of outraged Chinese law. Indeed, but for the guide they could never have crossed the barriers, save by balloon or son a ingenious flying me. - china it was with considerable interest, coupled with- natural curiosity, that they wailed to see what line of action Kai Wang would adopt in order to solve the ,puzzle which faced them.

They were tow well Started upon the campaign, and had reaelled a point where it was al.ont 0.0 easy to :thitrance as retreat. Kai Wang stood holding open the door, and the big Englishman was the first to accept the invitation a0 expressed; indeed, 11 was only rigid that he should do so, since his country- men have this long time been loudly deClaring their adherence to the "open- door" pnlicy in China. Besides. Lord riaaett was by nature a man who scorned danger. Larry had east that comprehensive glance all around him ore committing, himself to the gloom of the nalace, 11 was re -ally a desire to get his bear- ings, and not suCh a final farewell look as a condemned Criminal might expect 10 cast about him ere taking up the death =roll to the gallows. • He did not forget that it devolved upon him ,to nelend Avis,;00W thet She seemed no longer to have h,er .legal protector. Larry had ere now Proved to the coMplete Satisfaction of all 'concerned that. in spite of his Whited stature, he could assume this office with honor, and was no foe to be despised. Thus, then, the little party went in, peaceably enough, and with at least fair hopes that their future would be safe in the hands of the' keen -witted Kai Wang, devoted to their cause. What, their coming out might be, the future alone 'must declare. The atmosphere and sky gave them no warning of what awaited them be- tention. • yond. It annoyed Plyinplen to know that Unlike the sailors who plowed the Bich. mission of humanity was brought Vast ocean, no barometer could tell them when a hurricane bore down with mighty force that called for reefed Consequently,.. it was necessary for them to be prepared at all timessfor, an emergency, and this was pretty much of a tax and Strain. When they had entered, Kai Wang proceeded to close and secure the brass door again, having reasons Of his own for being so particular; nor did any ef the others dream of questioning the wisdom of that polcy. So long as the big key remained fait in his girdle, they could make 'their speedy, exit when the proper time for decamping arrived. The mere conviction that he was ac- tually under the roof of the royalpal- ace was quite enough to give Lord Racked, a thrill. Perhaps certain strange thoughts floated athwart his mind, for he was stiff in a 'measure conneeed .with 'the diplomatic 'service of Great Britain, ,and if this fact ever came out, it was apt 10 cause something of a strained relation between the two governments. This was no new idea, however. He had considered the question from all sides at the time he determined to embark upon the adventure, and throw his fortunes in with Ler* and Dr. Jack's widow. Besides, the vague dream he had many times indulged in Was apparently visaing to pass, and his opportunity to gaze upon lue curious phases of the mysterious Purple City had arrived. Perhaps—who could say?—they might be given a chance to see something of the astonishing event ,that , according to Kai Wang, was taking place -in the royal palace this night. Beatty, it would be something of which he could speak boastfully in the future if he might be a witness to the diplomacy of die Dowager Empress, and., see the new Emperor possibly even he - fore the mandarins had a chance to make his acquaintance. Deep down in this heart Plympton deplored the necessity of their being compelled to labor under anal addh tional disadvantages. The whole imperial city was un-: doubledly under additional guards, and as to the palace itself, he feared kst it must be swarming with those soldiers. devoted heart, and soul to the service of that wonderful woman whose band continued to hold the pulse of all. China, administering to the wants of the empire as a doctor would to those of his patient. And if Turkey was formerly and rightfully called the .Sick Man of Earope, surety China occupies that position in Asia to -day. It is feared that the multiplicity of (teeters who hat e foreed their Services upon China, with a hill in the shape of a concession, end who follow each dose with calomel or hypodermic injection, will play the deuce with the country. Surely there is much truth in that" venerable axiom to the effect that "too many cooks spoil the broth." KAI Wring had evidently made his calculations and come prepared for emergencies. The presence of the magic key lila had unlocked the palace door spoke eloquently of his foresight,. and ether things destinedto follow would prove equally as forcible- in declaring the readiness with which he could grasp his opportunity. 11 was all simple enough, once the fact beam() known that Kill 'Wang. maker of half the great and small images worshiped in the jOsS house 101(1 privateshomes throughout, the em- pire, was hand -in -glove with the mighty 1,1 Hung Chang, .thiti had trihdp many secret pilgrimages into the•Sacred City ttlid 1110 '111112eiisl P011100, unbes known to' lho kcal -witted Empress.

Where ha gol hold of the rale, Lord Beckett did 1101 know, but it had evi- donlle served his purpesd on many a previous aura -villeins visit to the Pah in peril because, forsooth, a woman, despairing or accomplishing her sweet mill with the sickly and yet stubborn monarch of the Li Hung Chang party upon the throne, chose to 'take this very night as a time most lilting for the sub- stilutien of another in the place of the present ruler. What fatality was there about it all that, the chosen time should so interfere with their own little arrangements? Undoubtedly the known fact that the Emperor had signed Dr. Jack's railroad concession, which had in some miracu- lous manner also slipped through Tsung.11-Yamen, had been the main cause of his secret deposition The Dowager Empress would coun- tenance no rival, and Chose to side -with the Russian party in opposition to the best -read and most thoroughlg culti- vated among the leaders of Chinese public opinion. Something connected with her past, long before' she was taken from the common People and made the favorite wife of the former Emperor, had caused her to nate the British; and she never lost an opportunity to show this miser- able temper toward them When it was considered acife to do so. Kai Wang was nth the man to waste precious time in bemoaning fads that could not be avoided. He had simply made a plain state- ment of the case, telling what he knew and what he had reason to believe, 20 that, his friends might understand the difficulties they had to contend with. This done, his duly was completed up to the point of action. and he turned philosophically to tiie. task in hand. China may (Appetit to be the land of dragons and enchantments; the popu- lar mind may feed npon the wonderful doings of sorcerers and magicians. and. even look upon the spirits of the dead as coming back to Inhabit other lower forms, whence they, Can keep watch and. ward over those for whose welfare they may have been solicitous when on earth. All the same, their methods ef accomplishing the numerous little things that crop up in the everyday ex- perience of 10081 men are based upon the matter-oflect wass of less fanciful` nations. In a -word, the Chinese, while fond ef superstition and flowery language, are a distinctly human race, and have lo live like other people. Thus, the wise and sapient seer, Kai Wang, instead of waving his wizard ovine and mumbling a mystic treed he - fere which boltsand bars must give way, carefully produced a great key from under his gown, and in the most prosaic manner possible proceeded to fit it in the bress door; just for a31 the world as though he were the king's high -chamberlain., and .113 the ordinary pursuit of his duties. intended' paying a visit to the rear and more secluded portion of , the MaSSIVO pite yelept palace. And Lord Beckett, who had little faith 01 the potency of charms, and tabs, mans, while placing sturdy dependence upon the effect of beawn and brain !is- sue, rejoiced to 'know their guide dis- dained to avail himself of the privileges of his race, and rose superior la, the occasion.

Great Rage For Perfumes at the Court. -of Louis XV. "The Scented Court" was the name by 10111011 the court of Louis XV. was known throughout Europe, on account of the rage for perfumes whin then prevailed in 'France. The expenditure of‘Madame de Pompadour for Ude one brands of lier toilet amounted to $t00- 000 annuatly.

This was never a satisfactory way of nsing our most valuable forage crop.

One good ear to each stalk. and twe stalks in each hill will make corn yield more than 100 bushels per acre. Many people try to have from three to five stalks per hill and get much less than 100 bushels pei• acre. . The wholdspoint of forest management is to have new trees of the most useful kind take the place of the okl just vs soon as possible after they are cut. One thoughtless stroke of the axe will get rid of a fine sapling half the size of a man's wrist, and a dozen yeers uf growth is lost.
