Ile had even. .sighed for an opportunity to tread those forbidden lanes, to look upon the imperial palace witain and without, and discover something of the quant me- thods in vogue among the mysterious Council of State that met so solemnly at daybreak each morning in the Pal - nee of Heavenly Purity. , It was hard for PIympton to believe that the 1Wished-for opportunity had come at last, when he might learn all he, had desired, to discover, and possi- bly., morein the bargain, being at the, came time engaged upon an errand of mercy that must redoundtohis credit whenever-mentionen in the presenceof these who •loved liberty.

This would, of c'ourse,' be to 'their detriment, as they were "the weaker party. . Since their advice ad, not been asked in the premises and was not desired, all they could do was 'to push straight on and trust to Providence and the saga- cious Kai Wang to keep, trouble at arm's length. This venerable section of old, Peking, has - doubtless witnessed many strange spectacles in its day, which extends back far into the remote past; yet it would be safe to say that a more des- perate and quixotic mission was never undertaken within those walls than the one that, now engrossed our friend' at- tention,: It annoyed PlyinVen to know that their mission' of humanity was brought in sperilbecause, forsooth, a woman, despairing of accomp,lishing her. sweet will 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 west fitting for the substitution of another in the plaee of the. resent 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-h-Yamen, ' had ben 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 ' thoroughly' culti- vated among the -leaders of Chinese public opinion. • . . Something connected with her, past, long before 7 she was taken from, the common, people and made the favorite wife of. the former Emperor, had •caused her. to hate the British; and she never' lost an opportunity to show this miser- able "temper 'toward ' them when it was consideredsafe to do so. • Kai Wang was not 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, so that his friends mighte updei.stand the 'difficulties they had to contend with., .This done, 'his duty was completed up to the point of action. and he turned philosophieally to the, task in hand. - - China .may appear, to be the land of dragons and enchantments; the popu- lar mind may feed npon the wonderful. doing's pf" sorcerers and magicians. and even i look 'upon the spirits .of the dead as .coming back to inhebit other lower forms,whence,- theyocan 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 'modem little things that -crop up, in the everydaye:0 perienee of most men are based upon the matter -of -feet ,waf*,s' of less fanciful nations. . . In a -Word, the Chinese while fond of superstition and flowery langtiage,are a distinctly liumanoTace, -and have to live like other people. ' - t . Thus, the wise and sapient seer, Kai Wang,. instead of waving his wizerd .armS and mumblipg a mystic treed be- fore , which, bolts and bars must give way, earefully produced'. a • great key from under his gown, and in the most prosaic minim, possible proceeded -to fit it in the bras104" door ; just for all the world as though he were the Ring's high chamberlain, and in the ordimu'y pursuit of his duties. intended paying O visit to the rear and more secluded portion of the massive pile yclept a palace. And Lord Beckett, who had little faith in the potepey of charins, and talis- mans, while placing sturdy dependence upon the effect of brawn and Nadia -tis- sue, rejoiced to know their guide dis- dained to avail himself of the, privileges of his race, and rose superior to the occasion; , • , R was a moment of some suspense to:them, so many chanceS scented, hang- ing in the balance.

Lord Hackett was by nature a man who scorned danger. Larry had east that comprehensive glance all around him ere committing himself 10 the.41o= of the mince. lt, was really aedesire to get his bear- ings, and not such it final farewell look as a condemned Criminal might expect to cast about, him ere taking up the death march to the willows. • He did not forget that it devolved upon him to defend Avis, how that the seemed no longer to have leer legal protector. Larry bad ere now proved to the complete satisfaction ofall concerned that, in spite of his limited,Mature, he could assume this office with honor, and was no fee to be despised. Thus, then, the little partywent 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 tavaited them yond. Unlike the sailore who plowed the vast ocean, no barometer could tell them when 'a hurricane bore down with.mighly force that called for reefed sails. Consequently, s it was necessary for them to be prepared .at alL timeaofor an emergency, and this was pretty much of a tax and strain., . When they had entered, Kai Wang -proceeded' to closeeand secure the brass door .-again, having reasons of Isis own for beingeso particular; nor did any ef theothers dream of questioning the .wisdorn• of that polcy. So long as the big key remained fast 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 reefof the royal pal- ace was quite 'enough to give Lord Hackett. a .thrill. %- Perhaps certain strange thoughts floated athwart his 'mind, for he was still in a 'Ineaaure eormeated ,with the diplomatic 'service of Great Britain, ,and if this fact ever came out, it was apt to cause .something of a strained relation between the two goVernments. This- was no new idea, howea•er. ' He had considered the queStiain 'from all sides at the time he deterthined te embark: upon the: adventure, and throw his fortunes, in with, Larry and be. Jack's widow. '• • Besides, thevague dream he had many times Indulged in was apparently 'coming to pass, and his 'opportunity to gaze upon, tne Curious phases of the mysterious Purple City had arrived. .Perhaps --Who could say?—they might be givena chance. to see something of the astonishing event that, according to Kai Wang, was taking place in: the royal palace this night.- . Really, it • would be something of which he could speak boastfully in the,. .figure, if he might be a.witness to the ,diplomacy of the Dowager Empress, and. SC the new Emperor poAibly even be- fore' the inandartn.s had a chance to make his 'acquaintance. •Deep down—in his heart Plynipton deplored the neeessity Of their being compelled to labor under such addi- tional disadvantages. The whole imperial city was.. un- doubtedly under additional guards,, and as to the ,palece itself, he feared lest 'it must he swarming with those' soldiers devoted heart and „soul to .the service (al- thea wonderful woman whose hand• confirmed to hold the "pulse of all.
