New Chwang. a treaty port at the mouth of the Lluo, haa been reoccupied by a large force of the Cxur"s troopa. and all the forta have been regarrlsoned.

Beautiful Miss Mal lin was but 30 years of aga, whUs her sister had reached the half-eentury mile post. Wickham was younger than his wife by ten years, and by nature loved an ad venturesome existence. Though quite well along In life, still he was fond of romance, and often while tils gray-haired and faithful wife was tolling Inside the house, the husband would stroll about through the garden and the grove mak ing love to the fair woman at Ills side his wife's sister.
