One Hummer day the ruler lay down on h:s silken couch to have his usual after dinner nap. but was so disturbed by the rllAcordant music of some strolling musi­ cians that he could not rest. Sending for Lyng-Lun, the court musi­ cian, he reproved him, saying, “ Lyng-Lun, is that the music you allow the emperor of t'hlna to hear?” “ Most gracious majesty.’’ Lyng-Lun re­ plied in vindication of himself, “ we can i-ever have perfect harmony in our music until we have a melodic arrangement of tie different tones.” Hoang T y '« face lowered as he said an- grtly, “ Why lias not this been done?” and l*»’oie Lyng Lun had recovered from the £Mtcrt<(Unieut occasioned by this question, Hoang T j continued: “ Lyng Lun, listen to the commands of China: Music must he arranged and r«*gulated by you, on similar principles to those on which I have estab­ lished tiie laws of the land. If in one year fr«>tn today you have done this, you may ask any boon you wish from the state; if on tiie other hand you have not accom­ plished the task, you lose your rank ami your head at the same time.” “ Your commands shall lie obeyed, most gracious ruler,” said Lyng Lun, as he pros­ trated himself ami left the palace f«*eling that he had only another year t«> live. How could lie satisfy the emperor? He ha«l no fundamental principles as a start lug point. True, he was court musician, hut he could «»nly make music by follow lug t he dictates of his ear. Kor several «lays Ling Lun was not seen in his usual place at court; ami, as he W’as a general favorite with both gentlemen ii ml ladies, and moreover tiie handsomest man in China, it is no wonder that many conflicting rumors were spread abroad con cerning him. Hut soon t he tongue of gossip was si Jenced, as he was seen making preparations for a journey by some friends, who soon learned of the task imposed upon him, and condoled with him on his prospective fate, since they thought Hoang-Ty’s umiertak lug an impossible thing to achieve. “ Who ever h«»ard of or«ler «>r law in music?” said they. “ Why, music was the gift of the joss. Why should human beings try to liecoine as great as the g«xls?” they aske«i themselves. However, the «lay came when Lyng-Lun took his departure. He must seek in other countries for this fundamental law of mu sic, since it was not to he found iu his own. He travel«»«! through many countries and iiad many ad ventures and hairbreadth es­ capes from robbers and wild animals; hut no matter where he sought the elusive knowl«»dge, ail was in vain. About six mouths had passed when, in his wanderings, Lyng-Lun came to the Si- .lang country: thence he travele«! on until he reachtsl tiie Hoang lln, theriverof bam­ boo«. Lyng Lun proceetled along the hank Until he came to an inviting spot just at sundown, and, being weary, determined «o rest t here for the night. After a slight sup|»er of ric*e he lay down to sleep, hut had not «lumbered long when he was awakened by strains of sweetest music. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. Never had In* heard such wonderful mel- ody. He looked ntiout him to s«»e from Wiienee it came, and soon found it pro reeded from the river that flowed at his le«*t. The strains, which had been low an«l sweet at first, now increased in volume Until they became as loud as rolling thun- tier, yet were still harmonious anil eii trancing to the ear. Huddeuly th e music censed and all w a s silent for a moment, when a sweet voice lx»gan singing. Lyng Lun now r«»se and, parting the bamlKX>s that lined the hanks of the river, perceived a ravishingly )>eautiful young woman sitting on a rock. He listen«*«! for a long time, entranced. Unable to utter a word or move. The moon had made her nightly passage through the sky and was fast approaching the western horizon, though every object Was still clearly discernible. In the sil- very light Lyng-Lun saw the nmiilen lift her white arm*, which were fastened t«>- gether by a chain of gold, toward the sky, Us if in supplication to the moon, nn«l her aoug became more plaintive as she sang: Handsome, gay and loving is he. When will ho «'ome to set me free? Oh! when, to sot me free. The last line was sung so plaintively that tears flowe«l from Lyug Lull’s eyt»s as the raiu from heaven. He hmt just recovered hi* presence of mind ami was about to address her, when, Its the moon rolle«! down the opposite si«ie ot the hill, the maiden dived into the river and was seeu no more that night. Lyng Lun, after gazing for some time at the dark waters where she lia«l disappeared, »ait! womleringly to himself: “ Where have 1 heard that sweet v«»i«'e before? Where have I met her fair face*’’ Finding ha could not answer these ques­ tions he lay down again to *l«H»p. ami tlreame«! he saw tin* fair, nymphlike tnaiden walking toward him on thesnrface t»f the river. Then suddenly she began to Wink and called upon him to save her. when he awoke to find the sun shielding its bum mg rays on his face. After breaking Ids fast and bathing tn the crystal water Lyng-Lun sat down again to think. I Taking hi* knife from his p«x ket he cut a bamboo, ami trimming it «»ft lietween the jknot* began pirkiug out the pith. All this ■ was done in sheer ullenes*. If any «»lie ha«! pinked him what lie was making lie could | ,not t«» save hi* life have told.

No signs of life were visible, and he was about in de­ spair to give up all hopes of ever beholding the water nymph again, when he heard the water* at his feet murmur tiie same music that hud ravished his senses the night be­ fore. W as she approaching, and oo8 from hi* sleeve, one after the other, he blew the notes of the scale. The sky became overcast with dark clouds, as if the w itch who had so wronged Sing-Lee knew’ the maiden was about to he s«*t free; and the moon seemed to dance with delight at the prospect. The last note sournle«!, anil Sing-Lee stood before Lyng-Lun more beautiful than ever, while the golden chains had fallen at her feet. The magical scale had proved efficient. At this moment a large swan glideil to them and said, “Sing-Lee, my daughter, you must mount my hack with your lover and I will swim w ith you to the bank.” That reached she said, as she dived out of sight, “ Fly, uow; the witch’s power is great.” They soon left the river many miles be­ hind them, and th«»n Sing-Lee told Lyng- Lun the story of her captivity. Her father was a prince, who lived many leagues to the north, at the sources of the H«)ang Ho. Near them also dwelt a water witch and her son, Tsing-Ho, their nearest neighbors. Now, Tsing-Ho had fallen desperately iu love with Sing Lee, and when her mother refused his offer of marriage she was turned into a swan and doomed to live as such the remainder of her life. Still Tsing-Ho was no nearer the accom­ plishment of bis object, for Sing-Lee’s fa­ ther was well versed it) omens and charms, and was t hus able to protect his child from Tsing-Ho’s wicktiil enchantments. These charms her father useil success­ fully as a safeguard for a long time; hut one day, while not thinking of the danger, Sing-Lee wandered some distance from the castle. Site was walking along, humming her favorite song ami gathering wild flow­ ers for her father, when, upon looking up, she found Tsing-Ho standing in front of h^r. Before site coulil scream or run away he had her in his ¡lower. Sing-Lee firmly re- fused to marry him; and, as her father had so charmed her life that Tsing-Ho could not change her from a human !>eing, he put chains on her hands, and taking tier many miles away from her home placed her on a rock—where Lyng-Lun had found her—and then set her free. During the «laytime she was com pelted to live under the water in a palace of Tsiug-Ho’s; but lit could not harm her in any way, further than by keep­ ing her captive. The lovers had now proceeded on their way for four days, w hen they discovered an army in pursuit of them. “Surely, Tsing-Ho is after me again!” cri**«l Sing-Li»«», frightened at the thought of further captivity; and they set off at a quicker pace. Hut the army soon overtook them, when, oh, joy! she recognized the banners of her father's army ami soon saw him at its head. The handsome Lyng-Lun was a hero, and not to be despised a* a son-in-law, so the father accotnpanie«! them to the court of Hoang-Ty to intercede for them. Here Lyng-Lun produced the bamboo and demonstrated the beauty and truth of hi* musical scale. The emperor, Hoang-Ty, was so much pi «»as«»« I with him for this achievement that he raiseil him at once to the highest rank in hi* gift, Aiul, after hearing of his Adven­ ture, said: “ Now, Lyng-Lun, what «lo you re«iue*t as further compensation for the peril* ami discomforts endured in your search?” " I f it please your majesty, I would ask permission to marry Sing-Lee, a foreign princess,” answered Lyng-Lun, prostrat­ ing himself many times. Now. such a marriage w as against the law of China, but then an emperor can break the laws he ha* himself mmle, and In a ease where Ixith the young people were so devotedly in love ami the story of their meeting waa m romantic an exception must he made.
