CHAPTER VIL• been„ only, too glad to invoke, the ap-
plause of gallery gods,' whereas now he
appeared: before • a ,differept • class, of
deities, and, no matter how well he
played his pert, could expect nothing
from them in the Waty 'of applause. • -
Softly he moved aeross the floor of the
vast:building, where hundreds knelt af
certain hours in adoration before the
miserable. work of tiuman hands, but
which, was now apitatecntly given over
entirely to him. , •
Desirous of reaching: a door, on the
opposite side, the existence of which
was known to few save the priestly at-
tendants, lie brushed past the foot of the
idol, just where a heap of offerings re-
mained.
In so doing he must have stepped,opon
some loose board that had a direct con-
nection with the hideous, hydra-headed
monstkosity, for it suddenly began to
heave and . groan frightfully, while
tongues of fire seemed to iSsue from its
several mouths. .
Larry was provoked, but not at all
alarmed.
His ordinary good sense would have
been a safeguard against anything like
a panic, and if that were not enough,
he had examined the mechanism of
these wonderfid figures, so that their
abilities were quite familiar to him. '
The only thing that gave him cause for
anxiety was the possibility of the • hefty-.
ing of the, great idol: bringing about an
influx ef worshipers or prie,stsetand the
consequent danger of discovery. •
He had hardly 'passed the distressed
god when he almost ran into the arms
of a figure clad in a 'black robe •similar
to his own.
The priest had evidently been busily
engaged, somewhere in the rear, and,
astonished at the sound, had hurried
round the base, to discover who had the
audacity to stir up the joss.
Perhaps that was his especial duty,
and he was Indignant at any interfer-
ence with his prerogative,
Larry had to guess- at this.
True, the dignitary ef the temple was
pot backward about letting.. him know
what he thought of SUQ,h a disgraceful
proceeding, but the trouble was, Larry's
education had been sadly neglected, so
that .he was not very familiar with. Chi-
nese verbs.
He simply kne,vv instinctively that he
was being called down with the choicest
expletives,in the lengthy repertoirg ot a
Chinese scholar, just as any sane man

No doubt Lenity Kennedy was just as
eleseeptilele to flattery as, the average
man, and the very OA feeling that
swept over • him was pleasure at the
thought of being deemed a person of
such linpertance by these • highn and
mighty personages concerned in the
plot of tho Dowager Empress.
'This sensation, howeyer, was only
• fleeting; when a man's life is in danger
such things tire apt to lose much of their
glamour. Life was just as dear to the
little dude from London as to the most
favored child of fortune, and as the out-
cries along the street increased in vol-
ume, he knew • his departure from the
house of . the idel-maker was to he
marked with more or less red fire.
Little he cared. e
His confidence in Kai Wang was so
great that he: stood ready to back him
against the combined force of those who
conspired to bring about Ins downfall.
The Chinese merchant seemed to con-
sider; then • he took an observation,
while, Larry awaited 'his decision. Did
Kai Wang ten him to walk forth, into
• the ahlst of the howlers he would have
done so with unlimited .assurance that
M some mysterious manner the magi-
cian would blind: the eyes of the mob
• so that they might believe him to be
one of their number, • -
When KM Wang returned he declared
the riot had assumed' greater propor-
tions than he had at first suspected,
and the chances were he would h.avetto
allow a search of his building if he
wished to save ft from total demolition.
He showed little concern regarding
his own private affairs, but Was anxious
with regard to .the safety of this friend,
for whom he had 'conceived so great
and sincere an 'affection.
"You .must escape without delay and
seek the protection of your own people.
My house has sheltered you since the
last moon, 'hot the time has come when
it may no longer afford an asylum to
my friends. Little the world suspects
what strange and mysterious things are
, taking place in China—only those
people of the North are allovated to have
a h,and in governing our destinies. It
is all wrong, and will bring much
trouble to a confiding people. Nr # lis-
teneto me, and I will give you directions
how to escape."
It was simple enough.
A black robet, a few magic touches
from the resourceful hands of Kai
-Wang, and, lo I for the time being
Lariey might pass for one of the oenebre
priestswho daily performed in the
temples where the great jois held forth.
There,was no need of lengthy instruc-
tions. •• •sea
All he had' to do was to keep a still
• tongue between his teeth end attract as
little ' attention as possible.
Kai Wang gave him a few directions
with regard to the interior of the ad-
joining pagoda and thenhustled him
to the rear door, which was connected by
means of a passage with the side of the
temple. , •' . •
Then tarry launched forth for him-
self, leaving to the ether the task of
placating the mob.

the midst of those excited Celestials., A
mob Is bad enough even under the most
favorable conditions, and particularly
to be dreaded when composed of ignor-

If it is decided to hay land every year
what sort .of manure should be used?
Farmyard manure no doubt makes,.the
soil' more resistent to drought, and ev-
en. chopped straw, by sheltering , the
glass in the tearly 'spring growths,
starts the growth. But if we are gotug
to mar .every year we must rna.unre
every year. The poorer the land the less'
can we afford to spend on manures. An
expensive manure on poor land is wast-
ed. Unless the grasses are there to take
advantage of the manures, the latter
are not likely to bring a profitable re-
turn. The character of the herbage
rnitet be reformed. ,
If we are going to sell the hay we
should naturally use more nitrogen,
than Wit is, to be consumed at home,
beVause nitrogen tricims more growth;
and mineral mitnuree do not always
show therneelves in the growth so much
as in the superior feeding value. We
