Had •she mocked at them? By thinking as calmly as she could upon tho chances of her lover’ s safety, Sho Mai endeavored to com pose tier mind for the delivery of that painful message which h I io was bearing to Li Kean and Yuen AVy. Blie held it to be certain that Li Khi hnd not been captured by the pirates. He had been exposed to no dangers cxeept tho.-.e of the ocean. If his boat had fallen in with a passing ship before tho storm of yesterday, ho wuh safe. If not, ho must have perished. The time had been too short to permit of his reaching land. No reasoning would solve the problem; she must wait for news. But fancy tilled the place of fact and as sho walked, her mind was bus) with visions. She would see a great ship gliding toward the boat, ltopes were let down nud all were safety brought to tho deck. Then she would see tho storm sweep down and a great wave would riso and dash tho little craft to pieces. With such fancies would mingle pictures of tho boat alone on the wide sen with no sail in sight, and the despair ing men facing hunger nud horrible thirst. She saw indeed all the dangers, and one small hope. With her mind in such n tumult, she at length reached the little house in w hich sho had passed so mnuy days happily. Li Kean sat in the door way and started back in terror at tho figure in its strange dress, the uniform of the Toylini. The sound of tho familiar voice however, quickly reassured her and tho venerable fa ther had been summoned tho sad story was told and tears were shed Sho Mai offered such consolation as she could from heavy heart, and the thought of her own miraculous es cape helped to inspire hope. It was evident that nothing could be done. Li Khi would send tidings of his safety at the earliest possiblo op portunity. Seeing tho grief in the little house hold, Sho Mai would have remained with her fi iends to comfort them but to this they would not consent. That sho should sacrifice tho com petition needlessly was not to be thought of. Tho old philosopher would listen to no refusal, and from his scanty savings ho provided her with w hat was needed for her jour ney. She accepted his kindness, knowing that her father would re quite him a hundredfold. A ship railed from Teng Chow tho noxt day end iu it Sho Mai began her voyago anew. Capricious for tune smiled nt last, and favoring winds filled the sails every day. The junk hod never mndo so quick a passage and the captain to whom Sho Mai had confided her anxiety for haste said that the Cods wero on her side and that tho prizo she sought would he liors. Despite the oxcitemcut and the hardships of the past few days ami ibo fears which filled her mind, Sho Mai felt that she had never been so well fitted for the great task. Tho weariness of her body passed away with the rest she found on tho voy age, for the free life of the pastyeur had given her strength and health. Then tho strange experience of that year had taught her lessons and had developed of her mind as no mere study of books could have douo. The joy of her love for Li Khi, tempered by the sorrow their separ ation from him, were forces to strougthcu tier powers. So she ennie at length to Peking narrowly in time, vet nqt too late. The great day of competition dawn ed, nud she took her place among tho fo rty thousand scholurs w ho by winning the Chiu Shi degree had qualified themselves for this final struggle. She fouud no trace of 1 i Khi, aud yet he might be there for in that multitude their meeting was but a chance. In the remarkable hall of the Han Lin Yuen Foo the scholars gathered. Its thousands of narrow cell liko rooms devoid of doors nnd built in rows upon rows like the balconies of a theater, face a great area. Long narrow galleries provide passages by which tho cells may be reached. Each aspirant for honors is assigned a coll in order that nil communications may be cut off. In tho grand arena sits the Chung Yuen Foo of tho royal family, sur rounded by scores of secrrtnries, The subject upon which tho com petitors are to work is written iu large letters nnd hung up iu a coniqiicuous place w here it can be seen from every cell. A sharp rap from a mace in the hand of one of tho assistants brings a bush like that of dcuth upon the assemblage. The great competition has begun. Many a heart beat widly with ex citement as a task was begun. Many a brilliant mind was defeated by its own eagerness which unfitted it for tho long lubor of the battle. Among all those who strove for this high honor it is doubtful if there was one whose calmness equaled that of Sho Mai. Tho thrilling scenes through which sho had passed so far from unsettling her nerves, hud left her in a state of quiescence, which nothing could disturb. She felt that all her faculties bad never been more per fectly under her control. 1‘erhaps I ho despair regarding Li Khi w hich had gradually crept iuto her heart accounted in some measuro for her mental state, for who has not known that strange awakening of the mind after a great disaster comparable only to what the soul may feel when it awakens after death. The subject chosen was one to which sho had given her deepest thought. She would have chosen no otlior. Slio worked with a steadiness which was unshaken by any sensa tion of fatiguo though hours came and went and still the tusk was un completed. Even after slio herself laid down her brush satisfied that the best of w hich she was capable had been done the work of many others was still unfinished. Three days and nights passed befor the announcement was mndo that tho last manuscript was done. Then a small army of pages gathered up tho work from each cell and took it the hundreds of secre taries for reading. This work is done with great speed though with scrupulous care. Each secretary reserves tho best manuscript and these are sent to tho imperial places where the final choice is mado by the Emperor himself assisted by tlie Chung A’ uen Foo. Meanwhile the competitors were dismissed and they poured out of the great hall. Again did Sho Mai scan the faces of all who eamc under her observation, but without finding Li Khi among them. Tho disap pointment was maddening although he had not known until that moment tlint a hope remained to make disappoint!! out possible. Sbe was dazed by the failure of all her J^INCOLN TA V L O K , iiiü y Is a good thing for the young husband to give the young wife.
