CHAPTER IV Continued 9- "Why didn't you tell me you were s hard up lis all that?" he demanded, harshly, lie was genuinely alarmed. Anything might have happened. "Why, good G d! girl, to think of you run ning about over the country without a dollar In your pocket, borrowing from strangers. "Tricking them,'' she finished. Her face had become muted. She slumped wearily In her chair. "It Is nothing new. 1 have lived that way, done things like that so many times. I'.ut he doesn't know. He has no Idea" "Have you returned the money he loaned you?" Converse demanded sud denly. She shook her head dumbly. Hu miliation could strike no deeper than that. When they were in the taxi he took one of her hands In his hot palm and tilled It with bills. And. loathing his touch, she must let ber own band lie there Inert, Presently he said. "I ara glad It was Anstey. He's a decent cbnp, not likely to take advantage of such an experience." , "Who Is hel How well do you krow him?" The senator leaned back and lighted a cigarette. He was comfortable again, feeling the situation In his bands. "A promising youngster, but poor. He'n after a diplomatic Job and has asked me to help him. I'erhnps I will perhaps not Impends." He gave her a narrow glance, , but her long lashes lay unqulverlng upon her Im mobile cheeks. He added In a lighter tone: "Hy the way. I'll tell Stevens to take this out of your check when be forward It." She begun to fold the money Into a neat little square pocket. "Ih, please. It will be lens awkward." Already the wall of pretense was swung magically between them, and she sheltered thankfully behind It, licking her bruises, hut the senator, looking over, was well content It had not turned out so badly after all. Hurl women are weak women always. CHAPTER V Brief Happiness It was exactly eleven when she leard (Irian's eager voice over the telephone. "I've been watting two hours" "Waiting? For what?" "For eleven o'clock. You said eleven." She laughed, "Are you always so obedient? When you were a young ster, did you get nil the cards marked 'For a good boy'?" Ills voice sounded stlfflsh when he leplled. and she remembered that men never like to be teased by the ab sent. "1 did not want to disturb you ear lier." I.lnda laughed again with sudden gnlety. This was so different from the way men usually talked to her. She told him to meet her at the ftttz at four, and presently ihe conversa tion was over and she had turned nwa.v with cheeks that glowed faint ly and a light In ber eyes.

Kveu the teacup looked Vttrnordl narlly fragile as be linndledy.lt.. He did not weigh the Import of tier words; he was much too enelhuited by her eyes. They sat there playing with their tea, and l.lndit Koth discovered that she was happier thau she bad been for a long time. ' . She told herself that this Was In a way a sort of holiday. She could not afford to play with poor young men, however charming. r I'.ut new she could breathe freely. She knew that Converse would keep his word and that In a day or two she "Have You Returned the Money Hi Loaned You?" Convert Demanded Suddenly. would have a check to tide her over. She deliberately shut her eyes to the miracle of how this was to lie accom plished; the fantasy of the stock cor t Ideates had grown Into a permanent Institution that could always be de pended upon. She felt amiable and light hearted In spite of her pullor and the delicate languor that .was a part of her. Brian's eyes made her feel very young. "What shall we do?" he asked, when the pretense of tea was over. 'There aren't any windows to peep Into In New York." "What nonsense!" she cried pally. "There fire millions 1 But most of them nre so hideously expensive that we mustn't." "Not all of them," he reminded her, losing his smile. "Hid you ever ride on the elevated?" She shuddered. "Don't, please! Those dreadful windows! I do not like to think of them. No, our little game belonged to the dace where we found It. We shouldn't see the same things here." ! "I wish you didn't bate poverty so," he said gravely. ; "Who doesn't?" she said, rising. She could not believe that he was In earnest. The day was warm for February; there was a smothering, down pressing haze In the air a warning of change. They walked slowly along the avenue where plenty of other women as well dressed as I.lnda, but not looking It, were also walking In spite of the damp pavement. They were all look ing eagerly Into shop windows that had bloomed and tlowered Info spring. These windows were mrtrvelous. Furs and laces; tlnshlng Jewels and silk petticoats; wonderful hato and delicate lace fans lounged gracefully against their velvet backgrounds. Ad Insolent French doll In a wisp of Chan tllly wore a priceless sable around ber neck. I.lnda paused before one win dow where a single small hat perched iioni'hanaiitly on a purple pedestal. "Hot lovely!" she exclaimed. But .irlan was looting at the yellow haze that touched the bare trees In the dim park with the wreathed veil of mystery, "I'm not rich, you know," Brian said thoughtfully, "and 1 wish ymi didn't hate poverty so that you could help me come to a decision." ; (TO HE ( ON'TINt'ED.)

C.I RKCKNT revolutionary activities In China have been largely in the province of Hunan, Just south of the Yangtze, nnd In Changslm. Its capital ; and have threat ened besides the busy life of Hankow, metropolis of Ilupeh province, on the north bank of the great river. Chung sha was captured by the Communist forces and was systematically looted. The resident of Changaho Is noted for his self esteem. He considers himself China's "top -side-man." Cap ital of a billy province, one part of which Is occupied by a largo lake which acts as a reservoir for the Yangtze floods, Chnngha maintained Its exclusion of the "foreign devil" until the beginning of this century, ltecently It has been closely linked with New Haven, Conn., for there Is. Just outside Hie rapidly disappearing wiill, In which the Inhabitants once look great pride, one of the best Christian mission schools In China, which Is Yale's contribution to the education of the Chiuese who cannot come to America. In Hunan the necromancer has ex erted much power and Changshn was so well protected by the lucky con stellation under which It was founded and by the Holy Hill which guards It, that It was' thought a profanation for the "foreign devil" to enter. In 1010 there were serious riots, iniilnly directed against the growing commer cial jwwer ot foreign firms, but It had. too, Its astronomical accompaniments, for It was the approach of llalley's comet which touched off the eiplo tloti. Long before Yale established the "Yale in China" college and hospital In Chnngsha, the city was closely re lated to America for It ws In the capital of Hiiniin that many of the firecrackers w hich formerly announced the Independence tiny celebration were made. While maintaining Its own In dependence. Changsha furnished the explosives which enabled the Ameri can boy to proclaim bis "Ciorlous Fourth." Much Coal In Hunan. A large part of Hunan Is nn itn worked tield of . anthracite and 'bitu minous coal and at ringllatig, which Is connected" with Chnngsha by rail road, there Is one of the mines which furnishes fuel for the great Iron works at Hanyang. Among the great men who have Loon among Changsha's chief prod ucts the most famous was fleneral Tseng Kuo Fan, whose cooperation with "Chinese" Cordon was largely Instrumental In pulling down the Talplng rebellion. Ceneral Tseng was not only a soldier and a statesman, but a literary man as well, and his collected works of l.'fl books were ed ited by 1.1 Hung Chang. Changshn lies on the north-south China railway. Trains compete with the light draft steamers which make the 2-0 mile trip from Hankow. With about Inhabitants, It rules In peace time a province of i.l'.non.non, and Is one of the cleanest cities In China. Many of the streets nre long and Straight and at one time the city It self was divided between two mugls trades. The bazaars are full of life and IntercHt, some of the candles be ing famous for miles around. One' of the Interesting sights of the city Is tho wheelbarrows that climb Stairs. Some distance ahead of the regulation wheel there is another smaller or.e. In climbing over flagstone stops or bridges,' the bundles of the wheelbarrow are lowered until the auxillury wbeel rises above the next higher step. Then the wheelbarrow, which often curries three or four hun dred pounds, see-saws from wheel to wheel until the next level stretch of flagstones Is reached. The I'plncopal mission has a live Boy Scout troop and the visitor who watched tent-pegging, lire rescue, stretcher making and other Boy Scout activities would marvel at China's quick changes. For until after tho Boxer trouble, Hunan's capital ex cluded the dreaded foreigner from Us walls whose brick battlements, rising above the Kite -of a former wall con structed In lt)2 I!.

Lying (VK) tulles tip the Yangtze, tho city Is as Important geographically to either of tho war ring factions as Chicago would bo If a civil war were raging In tho I'nlted States. Hankow has only one railroad, but tho rivers ami streams oj Chins form commercial arteries from which produce from nine provinces flows Into the Hankow markets, while the port Is equally Important s a distrib uting point for foreign commerce des tined to the Chines Interior. Hankow occupies tho north bank of tho Yangtze where the lUn pours In Its muddy torrent. On the opposite side of the Han lies Hanyang, and across tln nearly two mlle-wlde Yang tze Is Wuchang, a venerable town which was flourishing when Hankow was a fishing hamlet. Both Hanyang and Wuchang now sro a pnrt of "Creater Hankow" with more than a million and a half Inhabitants. The Hankow river front Is an amns Ing conglomeration of shipping. There are. ungainly Junks, but they move about the water In the hands of expert river men as easily as modern ves sels In our busy eastern harbors. Some ot them, displaying rotten hulks with gaping holes above the water line, cause the traveler to wonder bow they stay atloat, while now and then a huge high pooped craft, adorned with brightly painted, carvings and pistes that make It look like a floating cir cus wagon, edges Its way slow ly shore ward, , Small sampans dart here and there by the tnutkle-power of two perspir ing coolies whose families, under mat-ting-covered awnings, fill tho air along the shore with tho singsong chatter o the Orient. It Is estimated that 2.V tusi native boats ply In and out of Hankow ami Its sister cities. Mean while modern steamboats from lower Yangtze points come and go on sched ule. The walled city In the background nlso seethes with commercial nctUlty to the tune of noises that strain the visitor's eardrums. Some of the tinr row lanes are paved with t!.nrtoiies while others are mere ruts. Never theless, !l,ty are the playgrounds of thousands of children and the busy Street of a c!ty which has been called the "Hub of the Cnlverse." Business and Noise. The children yell at play; the vend ors cry out their wares; roolleo, hear Ing heavy burdens, warn passersliy to dodge their bulky loads; beggars groan and moan; and rickshaw boys, without regard to pedestrians, shout as they hurry their fares through a Jumbled mass of Immunity. The yells of carriers of wealthy Chinese, as they bear their dignified masters, enn b heard above the din, and the traveler wonders If these men are not em ployed for the strength of their vocal chords. But this Is not all. Along the side lines, the meiehaiits bicker In Ui voices with prospective purchasers In front of their shops. The frenzied spirit of bargaining somewhat resem bles miniature civil wars. To the foreigner, the pedestrians In their loore-flttlng clolhltig resem ble pajanin-clad citizens on parade, but the wearers are by no means ready to retire. Business In Hankow Is almost a religion, and nearly every man seen on the street has to do with the enormous amount of commerce that flows through and past the busy port. If a traveler knows the advertising code In Hankow, he can locate any type of business by reading the shape's and colors of the -shop signs which project over the narrow thoroughfares. For Instance, gold platers use salmon colored boards wllh green characters. Itruggists' boards are glided. Black, gold, red and green are the predomi nating colors. Approach the river front, nlong the Bund, and the scene changes. Here are buildings In Russian, MugHali, (lor man, and French architecture. .But Hankow's most amazing spectacle Is tho panorama of Junks of many types, ungainly, but performing like trained seals In the hands of their expert rlv ermen and thousands of theso craft line tip for miles oh both sides of bolh rivers.
