The one who always wears them appreciates his wisdom If an accident occurs, and the goggles save hla eyes. It's better It accidents don't happen, but be who takes safety precautions is indeed a wise old owl. o o Plenty Os Food: One thing which Americans apparently do not have to worry about is their supply of food. There are adequate stocks of most foods. This does not take into account the - stored ’'surplus'' foods owned by the government, which sb far still present a market problem and apparently are to remain in government storage. The Department ot Agriculture says that the outlook for HIS® crops is definitely good. with some exceptions for specific crops which will not materially detract from the general picture. This is in sharp contrast'to the usual outlook tor a nation which must divert any major portion ot Its energise and supplies to a niirp tary effort. That usually means short rations at home. The ns (ion in which war takes place Is much worse off in every way.

I -H AITER EIGHTEEN IT WAS midafternoon when they reached the palace and, In accordance with court cuctom, the goldstudded door of Ta-ching, the Hall of Audience, was covered with blue cloth.. Waller sensed a change in the atmosphere at once. Mystery brooded tn this Ipftypasaage, as though they were drawing near to the very center of Eastern knowledge and the seat of real power. A blue-draped door was reached and the court official leading the way threw it open with a ceremonious flourish. "Bow profusely!" be cried. They found themselves in a comparatively small but breathtaking chamber. The walls were of marble, overlaid with gold and ivory and jade. At the far end was a chair of jade, and on it sat a woman with a painted face. She was tiny and as alert as a monkey. Her eyes, which she fixed at once on the Englishman, had a sharp and mischievous glitter in them. When she straightened up in the c!.alr, the movement caused an enormous diamond to sparkle on the front of her scarlet robe, which was embroidered with all the symbols of the Hundred Antiquities. Walter noticed that her hands were loaded with rings. The only other occupants of the room were two aged men of obviously high court rank who hovered solicitously on each side of the Empress. The Dowager's eyes were still intgntly fixed on Walter, and she was talking to two ancient m*n. Chang Wu whispered. The color of your hale has disturbed Her Unlimited Magniflci'nc<" The envoy was then summoned to share in the discussion. Standing stiffly in front of the Chair of Audience, with kls arms held down at his sides. Walter watched what was happening w-lth a sense of .mounting uneasinesk. It seemed clear to him that things had taken an unexpected turn. The expression on the face of ChAng Wu was a proof of this, a compound of surprise and a decided, though resportful, dissent. Finally, the envoy stepped back beside him There will be no talk today," hr -aid. in a rebellious tone.

Walter w;as bewildered. “I don’t understand' the meaning of this, illustrious Chang. Wu. Why am I to stay here?" •That will be told in due tlme.' Flrst there are points of palace etiquette to be observed." The Abode of Everlasting Felicity was so well concealed behind its abundant shrubbery that at first Walter could see nothing but the bhght yellow tiles ot the t'i»g> a high triple roof. Further indications awaited them inside: a smiling manservant and the paetty faces of two maids peering around from behind him; a table heaped high with flowers and fruit; a pleasant odor of burning incense: a view of green lime trees through an open door at the far end of the halt The manservant bowed deeply several times and then motioned them toward a sunny room opening off from the right. Chang Wu led the way in, but the court official remained in the entrance. Chang Wu drew his companion to the far end of the room, where they could talk without any danger of being overheard. The raven of ill omen sits on our shoulders." declared the envoy. He plucked at his thin beard with dejected flngem "I have told before of the belief we have in prophecy. Her Imperial Magnificence. Who has wanted peace because she feared the invincible power of the dragon with the hundred cyes,- was reminded of another prophecy when she saw the yellow of your hair. It says. Tn lime of great peril there will come two birds of golden plumage out of the West, and the clouda of disaster will dissolve like the mist.* She is certain that we have nothing to fear, that the Gods in the Far Clouds have given this sign of their will to protect us and guide us to a victorious peace." Walter was dumbfounded by this strange and even ludicrous turn of events. , "Does the Empress forget that I have been with the armies of Bayan and that my purpose in coming here is to convince them of the uselessness of further resistance?" Chang Wu shook his head. 'That is of no consequence. You have come; and that is enough." "But if I heard aright, there must be two birds of golden plumage. not one." •'That is the strange part." said the envoy. "You arc the second to arrive. The first was brought to the palace earlier in the day." Walter's heart gave a 'sudden bound. A man with yellow hair? Tell;me. I’liang Wu. is h* tall?

yard of Contented Domestics cams from one corner. As Chang Wu led the way In that direction, WaiEer saw that the center of interest was a man in a wooden cage. They came within twenty feet of it before he saw that a longbow was strapped to the top and so realized that-the man in the cage was Tristram. The prisoner was sitting In a huddled position with his head sunk on his kneea No other position was possible for him; the cage was one of the fiendishly contrived prisons in which the occupant can neither Bit up straight nor stretch out at full length. It was impossible to see much of his face, but he wr s - hin and ragged and tncredlbiv -rty. His lank hair hung well below the level of hu shoulders. Tris!" cried Walter, forcing his way through the spectators. It was cleg- now what had happened. His friend had been taken captive and had been carried across China In this portable chamber of torture. Tris!" he cried again. The caged man lifted a wasted face in which his eyes seemed to peer out from great depths like a cornered animal's His features became contorted in an effort at a smile. "Wat!" he whispered. He made an Instinctive effort to raise himself, and his head struck against the Upper bars of the cage. Walter grasped Chang Wu's arm with frantic Insistence. "He must be t released at once! He is my friend. It is clear now that Lu Chung sold him to the bandits." "Your wish is the key to his freedom. Be was brought in this morning. It wu not until you came, the second ot the birds of golden plumage, that this one became ot any importance. He will be released at once.” As Tris was released, Chang Wu had been issuing orders, and a servant now arrived with wine in a cup. Walter held it to his friend's lipa 'This is what you need.. Drink it down and it will put some strength in you." .After several swallows, Tristram gained enough strength to open his eyea "That's good," he whispered. •■How long have they kept you in this thing?" "Ever since they caught me." A shudder shook the long, cmal iatod fraffie. "It seems like years. I lost all track of time* after the first few weeks." Cluing Wu interposed an explanation. The men who Jook him prisoner—they shall be most properly punished in due course!—have been exhibiting him. this keeper tells me he has been carried through three provinces. Fees have been charged for tlie privilege ot seeing him." Chang Wu issued some Instructions and then turned to Walter. He will be lodged in a house next to yours. I have sent for the court rhysii isru, and they will attend turn there." fTo Be Coo<un>r4) jpgHj

CHAPTER NINETEEN THE SUN was pouring through the windows of the Abode of Everlasting Felicity when Walter wakened. He sat up in the low wide couch and looked down at Maryam who was still sleeping, her face turned toward him and resting on the palm of one hand. “What a blind dolt 1 was!” he thought. “How could 1 have fa|led to love her the Erst instant I saw her?” A high-pitched trill sounded from near the ceiling. Walter sat up straight and looked about him. “What was that?” “I think,” said Maryam, “it was Peter, though I cannot see where he is. I kept him with me all the time. I could not i«rt With him. Mahmoud came with me last night, and I suppose he brought his beloved feathered pct with him.” • • a Tristram wakened as soon as Walter entered his room. His long sleep had done him good, for he waa able to raise himself to a sitting position. He grinned happily. "Ha, Wat! You are there in the flesh, so I know it wasn’t just a drcam.” Walter looked him over with a rueful shake of tte bead. “You are as thin as a crow in February! It will take a iong time to get the flesh back on your bones, Tria Those cruel devils had nearly succeeded in starving you to death. Maryam is here. She will come in to see you shortly.” In the days which followed It became evident that the yellow house in the thick green garden had been aptly named. The felicity of the newly married pair was so complete that it promised to be everlasting. Nothing happened to mar the happy hours, not a shadow of a quarrel, not a ripple of dissent between them. The days followed a set pattern, and yet there was never a dull moment Maryam would be up and bathed and dressed before Walter turned an unwilling head on the satin pollow they shared, and her cheerful, “Good morrow, honorable husband,” would evoke protesting groans from him. He would not be per mitt cd a respite, however; Maryam would have plans made which- required his immediate assistance. Her Imperial Munificence was losing no chance to-pleasc the visitors of good omen. Baskets heaped with fruit arrived every day, and great masses of flowers, enough to fill the main rooms of the house. Once there was a bowl of blue glaze from the Brothers’ Kilns of Lung-Ch'uan, an offering ot Such magnificence that Chang W u clucked with amasement when he saw IL Once the daily gift took the form ot a ring tor Maryam, a band of plain gold set with a splendidly large sapphire. Chang Wu paid a visit one afternoon, wearing an expression of intense anxiety. "Ch'aing-iha has fallen,” he announced. “Bayan built great

mounds around the wane so ms mangonels and the Han-fae's could have full play. The walls crumbled, and then our gallant garrison waa powerless to defend the city any longer.” He shook his head sadly. "Bayan rode to the largest breach and hcld out his sword, and his men gave a great shout and went in. They killed every man, woman and child in the place.” “This means," said Walter, slowly, “that the road to Kinsal is wide open.” After a long pause, Walter asked, “What can be done about getting us away?" Chang'Wu answered ominously, "Plans are being made, younger brother, ot which.l will tell tn duo time.” 5 Chang Wu returned during tte evening. The two men sat down to talk, and Maryam went to the' other end of the room, where she curled up on a cushion. Tonight we will come for you," said the envoy in a whisper. “A day of meditation, starting at sundown, has been decreed for the court, and so there will be few about" less Maryam swung a bundle of clothing over her shoulder. Ths house waa in darkness, and she reached but tor Walter's arm, whispering. The long journey begins, my love." He waa carrying two large bags. In one he had packed the presents from the Empress and In the other everything he had collected In his study of the country, the compass, the Eye That Secs Far, specimens ot paper, some Chinese writings, his voluminous notes Mahmoud was somewhere near them, also loaded with bags. “I feel very sad," whispered Maryam. "We have been so happy here! Do you think we will ever find the equal of this again?” “Gurnlc will seem like a cow byre compared with the palaces of China," he said. "But there will be compensations." They made-their way In the dark with the greatest caution. Walter asked curiously,' "Did you sew the gems I gave you Into the lining of your eoat ?" "Yes. I have done everything you told me." Tristram was waiting for them. Closed chairs were in readiness * short distance down the street, and a dozen discreetly silent carriers waited. They set of? at-once. When they reached the neighborhood of the river, the streets were filled with noisy, milling crowds, and there was a threat of conflict in the air. They came to a halt Chang Wu put his head through the curtains of the chair Walter shared with his wife •'There hare been riots,” he sa|d. “A slight delay will be unavoidable.” They were taken to the curio shoo which the old man owned, am. he .est them there while he went to investigate conditions at the wharves.

waiter was thinking of the danger in the carrying out of their plan created ,py this, delay. The Great Bore, the high tidal ware which swept up the narrow course of tte Ch ien-tang River, waa due very soon. It waa essential that they reach their ship on the oppo-' site bank before It arrived. Would there te time ? It was a full hour before Chang Wu returned. They started out on foot, their full escort still in watchful sttendanco. When they reached tte entrance to the moorings, a Sentry •challenged them. They passed inside, and Walter sighed with relief when he saw a pair of triangular sails against the sky ahead. He stopped, half believing that he could hear in the distance a humming like the muted beat of drtuns behind a hill. Had the Bore started? Chang Wu had heard It also. “You must start at once,” he said. "The Bore runs sometimes as high as twenty feet, and no skiff could face It; but there Is still time to reach your ship on the other side." Walter felt his arms gripped on each aide and rough voices commanding him to step ahead. He saw that Tristram also waa being bnskly-propelled in the direction of the waiting skiffs. The face of Chang Wu appeared out of the darknesa for a moment to say: "Farewell, younger brother. You and the Tall One must leave tn tte first teat Wc dare -not delay for the passing of the Bore. The others will follow later.* Walter tried to free himself, but his guards held him so firmly that the effort proved useless. He looked back over his shoulder desperately but could not aee his wife. He felt himself being dragged down ths step- of the mooring toward the waiting skiff. Then he was unceremoniously shoved aboard to find that Tristram was already there. Two guards jumped tn after them, cutting the rope with their swords. They moved away from the shore. Tte Great Bore am a rare spectacle tn the daytime, with erewdslining the banks to watch its majestic aweep up the river and expert divers with colored plumes in their caps diving into the high white head of water. At night ft was a different matter. They could hear a roaring in the distance as though all the Hw«-Poo« in China had gone Into action at once. It was 'too dark to aee anything, but the boatmen had broken out their oars'and were pulling at-them desperately. Tristram leaned over to shout tn hie car, "I don’t think the river is very wide here, but it will be touch and go.” They made it with no more than a scant second to spare. The hull of the ship on which they were to sail up Kinsal Bay loomed up suddenly above them, a chain ladder dangling within their reach. Scrambling up, they could feel the ship give a convulsive luri-h as the wash of the great Wave reached it An hour later they set sad. Maryam had been left behind. (To Bt ContinuidJ !,: ,
