Yellow Men Sleep By JEREMY LANE Copyright by the Century Company

“YOU ARE CONDEMNED.” Synopsis. — Cornelius Levington, well-born, an orphan, comes to manhood through the devious ways of the underworld. He is saved for a better life by Andrew March. The strange adventures of ‘‘Yellow Men Sleep” begin when Con takes by force a small leather sack from Chee Ming, the Chinese cook of an . acquaintance. This sack contains a Chinese map of the Gobi desert, which is precious beyond price to Andrew March. Eighteen years before armed men in the Gobi had taken March’s wife and infant daughter from him. Now he sends Con in search of them. On the voyage Con finds Chee Ming a fellow passenger. Con is shot by a polsontd dart, and while he is in the consequent stupor his map is stolen. On the river boat to Peking he again sees Chee Ming, and realizes they are seeking the same destination. Con keeps faith with Andrew March and starts on his mission westward with a caravan. After weeks of difficult travel he reaches the little settlement of Shan-sung and reads Instructions from Andrew March to the effect that Con has been made a federal agent to search out Chee Ming, who has brought quantities of koresh, a deadly drug, to San Francisco. At Shan-sung Con is unexpectedly joined by March. The two Americans press forward into the desert. Armed horsemen swoop down on them, rob them of everything and leave them to die in the desert. March has a map tattooed on the sole of his foot. They press on. suffering incredible hardships. Again they are attacked by horsemen, in command of a sentinel in gray. They are taken as prisoners to the hidden city of Tau Kuan, of which Chee Ming is vizier. The sentinel in gray turns out to be the Princess Helen. *— ' ■ ❖ What would you have done condemned to die, face to face with the incredible? CHAPTER Vll—Continued. After one of the large riders had advanced, salaamed before the prince, and spoken, and, following him, Chee Ming had concluded the evidence, the prince moved. His robe tinkled with spangles as he unfolded his long person and descended to the level of his courtiers. Chee Ming bent down to the rug as this young royalty brushed past. The prince wore no queue. He looked a moment at the white prisoners. close up, much as a child regards two stuffed apes. He gave no heed to the assembly. The royal litter came gliding up, carried by six slaves. In this the prince reclined his length. Swiftly he was borne away, his carriers moving like shadows. His highness had uttered not a word. A dull confusion of voices closed in around March and Lovington. “What was our friend saying?” asked March. “Blood mixing—” began March, hurriedly; but they were patted before he could explain his meaning. Marell was taken away, and Con’s slave moved in closer beside him. looking very burly and dull. An order was given, and Levington was led away, returning by the way he had come. In his apartment, after sunset, lie tried to think his way out. but failed to understand why he was not killed at once. Instead, a form of trial had been given them. Every physical comfort was bestowed. Courtesy was silent but unfailing. When he had returned from court, a tray of baked vegetables was awaiting him, with a pot of tea, a brazier, and a salver of cool grapes. Yet he could not forget the violence of their reception at the head of the ravine, and the refined hate of Chee Ming. He sighed to recall that the princess had wearied of their presence before the throne, and had taken leave without hearing the conclusion of their trial. Their death had previously been delayed by her order.

Plainly. Chee Ming had his own will in matters brought before the prince. Who. and where, was the monarch for the central chair that had been vacant? Levington sat at the low stone table on the roof, to finish his dinner, and try to study out a means of escape. In the circumstances, he felt that their federal mission was doomed to remain unperformed. He looked out Into the misty lowlands, where the lifting vapors were colored by an after glow of sunset into drifting peacock ‘ plumes, strands of illusive violet am! gold. The flocks had disappeared. / weighty silence pressed down over the ; valley—a twilight of apprehension. lie started. A curious object । dropped at his feet. It was the long- i tailed monkey with the white face. • Inquisitive, the creature had come to 1 examine the new arrival, but its eyes twitched with fear and childlike uncertainty. Levington tossed him a red plum. The monkey seized the fruit ami hit into it. ke<*ping his eyes fixed upon the giver of the fruit. “Well, little friend. Is it all right?" The small beast stopped munching, to think out a civil reply. Reflectively, ’ sadly, he dug out the seed of The plum. Inspected it, bit it. cast it down, am] forgot all about the question. He wiped his face upon his hairy forearm, and came a slinking step nearer. Like a cat ho leaped upon the bench, and began stirring In the bowl that had | contained a tuberous vegetable new j to the prisoner. Tlie monkey was ' disappointed. Then he looked up sharply, shrieked and .‘-’prang across the space to the top of the wall. He gave one backward glance, whimpered, and was gone over the edge of tlie wall. Levington also turned to look, and saw (’hoe Ming. “You are comdemned,” said the । Chinese. “I guessed It. But why?" You have come to Tau Kuan, cm- i plre of the Yellow Sun.” “It’s a good place,” said Con. “Here are all races of mankind,",

’! continued Chee Ming. “Here every I blood is blended in one true nation. Man. in time before time, divided hiinI self and his substance into many peoples. It was folly, ami should never have occurred. But In Tau Kuan they are again united. Here is the perfect empire. This sacred city is older than [ the Tower of Babel. All the other states of Asia, when the Gobi was not , a desert, rushed into that folly. Os j all the world, only the Monzoul of Tau Kuan had wisdom. Tau Kuan alone did not enter into that confusion. Tau Kuan alone has remained holy and fertile. You have seen the fate that befell the others. They are but tombs forgotten, beneath a sea of cursed Sand. Here only are green things, and pure. Here only Is the unbroken tradition of light. It is a small thing to die for Tau Kuan, when necessary.” “Thanks. I suppose von wish me to die?” “In a month —two months —not longer.” “Why the delay?" “Your white blood is to be preserved.” “How do you mean?” “Blended,” replied the Chinese, “An Arab maid of purest strain will ' come to you. When her child is born, , you work is ended. But we do not wait for it to be born. Two moons . shall suffice you." The American was caught by surprise, and the cool statement of overI head’ arrangements left him speechless. Chee Ming turned about and departed. Levington paced the roof in his anger at the fantastic injustice. From the : words of his enemy concerning Tau I j Kuan he began to understand something of why this inaccessible country I had been so wonderful a magnet to : his spirit. He was glad he had ans- I wered the flraw of this remote treas-ure-land. In other circumstances he would have been deeply interested in the claims of antiquity, and esoteric history. But its plans and purposes meant nothing to him. He had no desire to aid in blending the races of the world, particularly not at the coin- j mand of bls Chinese enemy. His heart was Western and demanded freedom. Twilight had deepened across the j ■ fertile valley when he heard footsteps ! ami the soft jingle of bracelets. A ; slave, leading a girl, approached him. ! The maiden’s robes were hut veils. ‘ 1 Her eyes were not eovered but were | intently regarding her new white i master Fear was written there, and I fascination. Her breathing was trem- i ulous. The slave withdrew, ami the 1 girl cried out at being left alone, i I averting her glance. Con did not move, ami presently she looked up again. Her cheeks were brown ami smooth, her lips red. She was nearly as tall a- himself. “It's all right." he said, meaning I Well. His first impulse was to send her away at once. But it occurred to him that this would not only hasten his own demise but probably bring heavy j disfavor upon the maid. She was kiss- ' ing his hand. He raised her. wishing that the Tower of Babel had not re-j suited in such a marked difference I ■ between English and Arabic speech. : Yet if she had known his language, his i task would have been no easier. Con । meant no disrespeet. he almost felt , inferior to her, but simply lie did not | want her. The Arab girl went into his apartj ment to await him. The best he could do was to remain on the roof, sit- ; ting beside the stone bench. He considered the odds. The stars appeared, anti the final ! red and yellow gold was dimmed from the west. Somewhere beyond the rim of the valley, a wolf howled, its cry W NJ MM WKwF'SnW K I - mt W I His First Impulse Was to Send Her Away at Once. i coming in very faintly. Having no ; . further use for his slave, who was | also a spy upon him. Con sent his gray boy away for the night. The coolness | of the fountains rose up about the palace, and in the infinite darkening ' sky, innumerable night suns glittered. ! । The white man on the roof was lonely. He wanted to talk to March. The Arab girl incident, was depressing. ; And something about the far cry of I ।lie waif brought to him bitterly the' fact of Tait Km n’s isolation. It was , folly to think of escape, 1

Con thought over his own life, and it seemed a botch. He had dreamed, fought, laughed, dared. He had penetrated a world from which strangers do not return, was now at the source of lovely fables and many tales of terror. It was all worth while, and yet — he had learned nothing of koresh ; he would be unable to report on it if he i should; they had taken his friend from him. andi the best that remained was death. j Resting his/head upon his arms, he bent over the stone table, and his last thoughts wen of a gray-cloaked rider who had ra's^* her arm, the sam« princess who ’had glanced at hint across the thbone room. He had intended to reinain awake, and devise it possible a wi^“ut. or move about the city if no ot^ prevented, but it was full daylight.^Jihen a gentle presstire roused him. (Collecting hin self from sleep, he felt 'pomething soft touching his face, and raised his head from the uncomfortable position of the night. It was the little white-faced monkey, chilled with the morning damp, snuggling against his new friend to t ■ wurmth. Con took the animal in his arms, and stood up. to find that his , back ached. He remembered, and crossed the roof to glance into his apartment. The girl w’as wide awake, and star । Ing at him, her brown eyes eloquent with shame. He nodded to her and smiled, and she arose, wondering. At the door, he endeavored to make plain to her that the facts must be kept secret from nil. She comprehended as quickly as if she had wished to warn him in the same way without know ing how. She sighed, and her lowwords were musical. Con smiled again. Swiftly she ran across the roof to the stairway, at which point she turned, bowed deeply to him, and then was gone. CHAPTER VIII The Princess. Levington was angry with himself for having slept, for he had intended to spend the night hours in finding some <-hanee of escape, ami now. In <laylight. he knew no more of the citj than before. He could not accept the impossibility of such a task, for his thoughts ran continually upon plans for Hight. Breakfast arrived —fruit and tea and brown biscuit, with the added <N»urtesy of cigarettes In an ivory box The roumhUgg^.*, gray neuro squutteil nearby while his master ate, and Con wondered how many kinds <>f blood were mixed in his heart. The roof was blue with morning shadow. The city stMUned to lie chiefly on the opposite side of the palace, out of Levington's view, for only a few poor houses borderetl the edge of the fields ho saw to westward. A white fog was steaming up. obscuring the ' low hills that marked the western boundaries of Tau Kuan. The gray visaged monkey was also present, waiting nervously at one end of the bench for his share. He grabbed up a biscuit, but was as disappointed as Fon ha<l been. There was no salt in it. But the tea was fragrant ami scalding, and the tobacco was smigohl from Tartary. "Hadn’t you better go home to breakfast?" suggested Levington. The little beast did not think so. He stared at the white man, his headybright eyes seeming to express a mute warning, with centuries of regret. When the gray boy had taken away the dishes. Con stretched and renewed tlie process of wondering. His nor mal powers of thought, that had been snatched away In surprise and fatigue, had returned. He wanted to talk to himself, to quicken his own American identity. He smiled to think of himself as a United States secret agent. Wolves or wine or the Jab of a blade n the dark, any fight in the openCon prayed for these hearty strifes. But the desert city, the palace maze, was against hope. This evil gentleness was a strain upon him. It was far from cheering to remember that Andrew March had lost his nerve. Con looked jt himself in the clear shield, and did mot recognize the hard brown face reflected. The sun that had darkened his skin had bleached his soul. The barb of ti Tartar transformed more tnan mera appearancewhite blouse above a wide sash, legs wrapped from । hip to knee in white. He removed she snug turban, and glanced again, to see if any semblance remained of himself. He saw in his own eyes the tension of one who knows death to be near. Impatience seized him, and ho crossed the roof to the stairway. No one prevented his going down. To the left were a walled garden, the singing of a bird, and a dull rhythmic sound like pumping. He went to the open gate. The garden, close walled, was roofed w-ith vines, which concealed the bird. A bronzed slave, nearly naked, lounged against the arch at the gate. A radiance, soft and cottony, W’as reflected upward from the smooth flagging of the path. Levington did not immediately understand the persistent beating. This garden was a green and fragrant stillness in which rested a pa lan quin with curtains parted. Beside this, on the gray stones, men were kneeling, five of them, old warriors whose day’ was nearly done. A second slave stood near, thumping a bone drum. The guard at the gateway did not trouble the w-hite intruder, for his chin was nodding with the drum. Again the hidden trfrd spilled melody like shattering crystal. The robes of the five who knelt were varicolored. The palanquin was canopied with purple and silver and pearls. Within it. squezing the cushions, was a thick, soft bundle of a man. The bird and the gentle drum had lulled 1

him. His cheeks were the pallid yellow’ of lemons over-ripe, but his closed eyes were overcast and gray. He was fat and royal. The line of his mustaches was thin black, and long down, like drooping floss. His queue was a black rope. A hand, wide and pale, rested limp upon the silken arch of th? abdomen. Something of ancestrtil j quality was hid in the fat of his face, tin essence of dominion and bitter statecraft; a narrow regal brow, a sharp nose, a besotted jowl—all the splendor of his inheritance now । dimmed under a perfumed monotony. He had paid tbo full tribute to drug ; and food and senile pursuits. Levington was free to gaze. The attention of all present had vanished. The drumming possessed their senses; also they wen* totally unaccustomed to strangers. Perhaps they mistook him for another slave, not regarding him directly. There was a soothing coolness in the blossomed air. an overmastering scent of honey and cinnamon. One of the robed figures rose slowly and moved to the head of the drowsy monarch. From a yellow bow l i he extended his fingers to the monzoul’s eyes, and can*ssed the lids with , reverent, poisoned tips. The other four in tlie party rubbed their own eyelids, ■ The Monzoul Was Thoroughly Under, in catlike delectation, then bowed again at h.s feet. The bird hesitated in his song, but the sober pulsing of the drum went on and on. until it seemed part of tlie planetary Hfe. ('on leaned near the outer guard, who had not turned. Sunshine tr <-kled through the matted vine-.. Con's foot b< gan to press the stones in rhythm with the drum. From a s< reen of flowers appeared a g rl, to dance. She was lithe and dark, her glistening hair bound up with g ins. Sun-amber mottled her shoulders amt body as she swayed before the monarch, and the treble of the bird ' again colored the air; or at least Con 1 saw it that way. As the maiden । danced, site touched the yellow bowl 'with her finger-tips. Her arms were sinning serpents of grace as she anolnt’ed her own eyes with sleep. A slow j sigh of pleasure floated up from the I cushions of the palanquin. There a fat 1 hand trembled, started, then failed ' dreamily. The monzoul was thoroughly under. “I have found my little girl.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Ancient Uses of Rings. One of the earliest uses to which ; rings were put was to make an impression of an engraved design or device upon letters or documents. Whenever an ancient monarch wished to give validity to a certain royal decree, he would take off his huge seal ring and make an impression with it upon the document. A curious superstitious use to which signet rings were put is told iu Plutarch’s Lives. A number of signet rings were thrown into a heap, and one was pulled out at random, the design which the signet bore being interpreted as a favorable or unfavorable omen. — The Fourth Trial.

REDS REJECT BRITISH TERMS Soviet Government Declares It Will Deal Only With Poland. REFUSE TO GO TO LONDON Object to Admission to Conference of Balkan Delegates—Reds Offer Poland More Favorable Frontier. London, July 21.—The reply of the Itimsian soviet government to the British note concerning an armistice with Poland, rejects in substance the Britisli peace proposals, according to the London Times, which publishes a summary of tlie soviet answer. The document is long and the Times assumes that it soon will be published by tin* government. The bolsheviki decline to come to London for the suggested i>eace conference, according to the Tinies, because they say Great Britain is not Impartial. They also object to the admission to the conference of delegates from the Baltic states, saying Russia already lias made peace with them. As to Poland, the bolshevik government points out that the proposed armistice line is unfair to Poland, and that with direct negotiations the bolsheviki are prepared to grant Poland a much more favorable frontier. The bolshevik reply refuses flatly to entertain any conditions regarding the forces of General Wrangel and the refugees in south Russia and demauds their unconditional surrender. The tone of the reply is sarcastic, says the Times, which declares it is aimed at driving a wedge between Poland and the allies by stimulating Polish dissatisfaction with the British proposal. The Times adds that it believes the reply will make it more difficult for Great Britain to enter into trade relations with Russia. GERMANS SIGN ON THE LINE Foreign Minister Simon, When Not Permitted to Make Speech at Conference, Answers “Yes.” Spa. Belgium, July 19. —The Germans have again signed unconditionally on the dotted line. After a 14hour session, while the peace of Europe and the world trembled in the balance, the Teutons affixed their signatures to tlie allied ultimatum regarding coal deliveries. The ceremony took place at 8:45 Friday evening. When the Germans arrived for the I conference Foreign Minister von Si- I I mon started to make a speech. Premier । Mlllerand interrupted him, saying: "That's enough.” The French premier then whispered something to Mr. Lloyd George, who rose and addressed the German spoki'sman : “Then* is a little room off there on the right where we have been having tea in the afternoon. I suggest you gentlemen retire there and when you are ready to give an answer—‘yes’ or i *n<>’—you may return.” The entire German delegation adjourned to the “little room." from which :hex emerged later w ith the unconditional “\<s.” FOOD PRICES ON THE RISE ' Increase of 3 Per Cent in June Reported by Washington Bureau of Statistics.

Edna’s Conscience Clear. “Don’t you think you ought stay at home like a good girl sometimes and let mother go to the theater? Don't you think mother likes to have fun, just the same as you?” Thus a strategic aunt addresesd her tearful niece of. six, who had protested when she saw her mother laying out an evening dress. The argument appealed to Edna’s reason. She ceased to weep and considered the justice of the proposal. Then, having thought it out, she lifted up her voice again in wails. “No. sir, auntie, I. now, have done it. I’ve done the best I could. Thi^ now, morning I tried to make mother have some fun.
