The :enator supplies her with
money, keeping up the fiction
hat her stock it yielding It, On
a trip she meets Drlan Anstey.
He helps her out of an embar

the real reason for Converses
friendliness. The senator re
sents her friendship for Anstey.

"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.
She thought of hi m almost constant

pointment that bo must have been
counting the minutes that kept It

paler than she had been in,, the tlusti
and glamor of the restaurant and an
air of weariness about her. She was
dressed exquisitely In a close black
velvet thing that made ull.Uie other
women seem to hnvo sometlilnjf vague
ly wrong about them. The moment

lie took the bills and folded them
away In a shabby little billfold that
she noticed was rather flat, ' from the
Urst she had gained tho Impression
that ho was not very well qu-one of
those poorish young men with a fu

a little. It was easy to picture llilau

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

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." ;

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

est Inland ports. 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,
