About the site were a number of bottomless tubs, (hinged so that they opened like leg -irons open to receive the ankle of a prisoner. Stell brackets on �eeeh enabled them to, be clamped together to make 'a long tube, The first of these was in its place, and sticking up from -the centre was a rusty steel bar that drooped.out•of the true - the core of the pillar to be. High above on a crazy scaffolding was a huge wooden vat, connected with the tub by a wooden shoot. Ail day long an endless chain of buckets, respond- ing to a hand -turned wheel, had been rising to the top of the platform, their contents being turned into the vat. "Primitive," murmured Yeh Ling; but in a way he liked primitive things and primitieve method's. Down the shoot would run a stream of semi-liquid cement and rubble, and the two toiling labourers would pat and shovel the concrete into place until the tub was filled. Then to the first would be fastened a second mould -the process would be repeated, and the pillar would rise. Then, on a day when the cement had hardened, the connecting wedges would be knocked away, the hinged tubs pried loose, the rough places of the Pillar of Grateful Memories chiselled and pol- ished smooth, and, crowned with a companion lion, the obeelisk would stand in harmony with its fellow. Yeh Ling looked up at the frail scaffolding that supported the vat' and the- narrow platform, and won- dered how many Western building laws he was breaking. The second tub was now brimming with the grey concrete and a third and a fourth were being fixed. All this Yeh Ling saw from his place on the steps, a cigar clenched between his small teeth. He saw the workmen climb down the ladders from the interior of the new tubs, and he glanced' at the sun and rose. A blue -bloused Chinaman ludi- crously handling a fan, came running toward him. "Yeh Ling, we must wait four days for the water -stone to grow hard. To- morrow I will strengthen the wall of the terrace." "You have done well,"" said Yeh Ling. "I thought you wrong," said the builder, nodding; "it seemed so much money to waste. He that is not of- fended at being misunderstood is a superior man." "He that fears to correct a fault is not a brave man," said Yeh Ling, giving one saying of Confucius for another. The workmen lived on the spot ; their fires were burning when he left the ground. On the roadway was a small black car, 'a noisy testimony to the efficacy of mase production, and into this he stepped, He did not drive away for a long time, but sat hunched up at the Wheel his head sunk in thought. Once he glanced at the pillar in making; speculatively, as though his meditations had to do with this. It was growing dark when at last he put his foot upon the starting plug and rattled away into the gloom. He left the car at the side -door of the restaurant and passed' in. "The lady is in No. 6," said his personal servant; "she wishes to see you." There was no need for Yeh Ling to ask which lady. Only one had the right of entry to No. 6. He went straight to her, dusty as he was, and found Ursula Ardfern sitting before an untouched, meal. She was very pale and a shadow lay beneath her grey eyes. She looked up quickly as he came in. "`Yeh Ling, did you read all the papers we found in the shouse?" she asked. "Some of them," he said cautious- ly. "The other night you said that you had read them all," she said reproach- fully, "and you were not speaking the truth!"' He agreed with a gesture. "There are so many," he said, ex- cusing himself, "and some are very difficult. Lady, you do not realize how many there were--" "Was there anything about me?" she asked.' "There were references to you," he said. "Muth of the writing was in the nature of a diary . . . it is hard to disentangle item from item." She knew he was evading a direct answer. "Was there any mention of my father or mother?" she +challenged him directly. "No," he said, and • her grey eyes searched his face. "You are not speaking the truth, Yeh Ling," she said in a low voice. "You think if you speak . . . if you think I know, that I shall be hurt. Isn't that true? And because you. would not hurt'me, you are ly- ing?"

I never thought that Walters was guil- ty. 1 did not like the man; I had seen him once and felt instinctively re- pulsed from 'him, though I never thought that he would murder Mr. Trasmere." She turned quickly to another topic with relief. "I have had an offer to go back to the stage but of course I am not going," she said. "I wonder if you N believe me when I tell you that 1 hate the stage? It is full of the most unhappy memories for me." Suddenly a thought struck Tab. "I heard from Rex this morning," he s: id. "He is coming back again. You haven't heard from him?" She shook her head and her eyes were grave. "Not since he wrote me that let- ter," she said. "I am dreadfully sorry." "'I shouldn't be," he smiled. "I think Rex has made a very good re- covery. Besides, it is the prerogative of youth to fall in love with beautiful E "Spoken like a grey -beard," she said, with laughter in her eyes. "You are never so amusing as when you are patriarchal, Mr.. Tab. Did you esoape$ that heart -breaking experi- ence?" "Falling in love with actresses?" said Tab. "Yes, up to a point." "What was the point?" she asked. "Well 'point' doesn't quite express my meaning," said Tab carefully. "I should have said up to a date." Her eyes caught his and dropped. "I don't think that I should make E exceptions if I were you," she said in a low 'voice. "Loving people can be a great nuisance." "You have found it so?" said Tab, oily polite. "I have found it so," she repeated, and went on quickly: "What is Rex going to do with life? He is very wealthy. Curiously enough I never dreamt that Mr.'Trasmere would save him everything. He used to grumble about Mr. Lander's laziness to me, but I suppose he had not made any preparation for his terribly sud- len end, and Mr. Lander inherited by right of relationship. He was Mr. Trasmere's next-of-kin, was he not." "I believe he was," said Tab; "but the dear old man made'a will, writ- ten in his own hand, leaving Rex everything." He heard a crash and stared sal -p- ly at the cup that had fallen to the floor and broken, and then looked up n' amazement at Ursula. She was standing stiffly erect, her face as pale as death, staring at him, "Say that again," she said'hollow- y"What?" he asked puzzled. "About Rex inheriting the property? You knew that." She stood with compressed lips and then: "O.h, my God;" she whispered. 'Oh, my God, how dreadful!" In a second he was by her side, his arm about her. "What is it, Ursula," he asked anxiously, "are you ill?" She shook her head. "No, I have had a shock. I have just remembered something. Won't you please forgive me?" .She turned from him quickly and ran out of the room, leaving Tab a prey to various emotions. He waited for fully a quarter of an hour before she reappeared. She was still pale, but she was calm, and her first words were an apology. "The truth is," she said with a faint smile, "I am a nervous wreck." "What was it I said that upset you?" "I don't know . . . your talked about the will . . . and it brought it all back," she said hurriedly. "Ursula, you are not speaking the truth. Accidentally I must have said something that horrified you. What was it?" She shook her head. "I am telling you the truth, Tab," she said, and in her distress' dropped the prefix. It was his flush that reminded her. "I suppose) I ought not to call you Tab," she said, a trifle incoherently. "but we actresses are bold and braz- en women. I thought with your vast experience you would have known that. Really, I should have begun calling you Tab the first time 1 met you. And now you want to go - you are trying to tell me that you don't want to go until I explain what it was that distressed me, and you are going to refuse all explanation about my poor nerves, so I can see we are likely to have an interminably quarrelsome evening. Come and see me to -morrow -Tab." e He took her hand and kissed it, and felt awkward' and artificial. d guaranteed. Phone 302. "That was very sweet of you," she slid gently.

Here, such was his emotion that his English failed him. She saw the dull red of bis face, the veins of his temples standing out like . knotted cordes, and was sorry for him. ""I will be patient, Yeh Ling," she said soothing1 . 9'I know you are my friend." She held out her hand, remember- ed, and drawing it back quickly took her own and shook it with a delighted gurgle of laughter. Yeh Ling smiled too, as he follow- ed her earampfe.

"And now I' really am feeling 'htimgry-will you send me some warm food -this is cold?" He was out of the room before her request was completed. It was like Yeh Ling that he did not come to the door when she went out. She hoped he would, but Yeh Ling eouldnot have been there, for he was waiting outside, and when she turned the corner he was very near to her though she could not guess this. xXV Rex was home! His telegram, handed in at the docks, preceded him only by half an hour, and his thun- derous knock at the door and his long and continuous peal on the bell told Tab the identity of the impatient cal- ler, long before he had thrown open the door and gripped the hand of the returned traveller. "Yes, I'm back," said Rex heartily, as he dropped himself into a chair -- - - and fanned himself with his hat.

Now she is brighter in spirits and eats and sleeps well. What caused the difference? Let her answer in her own words :- " I think Kruschen Salts are splendid tonic. After my husband's dearth in December last I became very run down in health.. Had terrible fits of depres- sion and was unable to eat or sleep much. I was also troubled with rheumatism. I decided to take Krus- chen Salts and have now taken the little daily dose for nearly two .months, during which time my health has greatly improved. The rheumatism has completely left me. I am much brighter in spirits and both eat and sleep well." When life begins to " get you down," when you begin to feel the results of modern artificial conditions -errors of diet, worry, overwork, lack of exercise - then you should turn to Kruschen Salta. They possess a wonderful power of giving new life and vitality to the countless millions of cells of which the human body is composed. The way to keep smiling is to take Kruschen Salts every morning -just a pinch in your first morning cup of coffee or tea.

"My pillar of Grateful Memories will have a greater significance than all your steeples," he said, "than all your stained-glass windows. It is to me what your War Memorial Cross- es are to you, a concrete symbol (lit- erally concrete!) :of an intangible sentiment." "You are a Teoi'ste?" asked Tab, interested. Yeh Ling shrugged his shoulders. "I am a believer in God," he said, "in `x,' in something beyond defini- tion. Churches and sects, religions of all kinds are monopolies. God is like the water that flaws down the mountainside and fills the brooks and the rivers. There come certain men who bottle the waters, .some in ugly bottles, some in beautiful bottles, and these bottles they sell, saying that `only this water will quench your thirst.' That it does quench thirst we will not deny, but the water is often a little stale and flat and the sparkle has gone out of it. You can drink better from the hollow of your hands kneeling by a brook. In China we bottle it with, mystic writings and flavor it with cinnamon and spices. Here it is bottled without any regard to the water, but with punctil- ious care as to the shape of the bot- tle!
