eighteen inches from the ground. Also he claimed descent from Chin Siting Huang Ti, who bullt “the Great Wall 1n 246 B. C.

with seven thousand spears he raided, robbed and extracted pro- tectlon-toll, a. process in which he found much food for laughter.

Below, on the other side of the Valley of Flowers, below Fien-Sing. there lived Ll-Tok, the rival of Huang Chen. He was thin, sar- donic. and without humour.

These two feared nothing save each other; and, during forty years of successful banditry, terminated on the one side by the death of Li- Tok-the circumstances of which are about to be related-they lost no opportunity for vengeance of the mort diabolical kind, carried out with the urbane courtesy ex- pected from Chinese gentlemen.

The evening sun was sinking be- low the foot-hills bclilnd the Valley of Six Great Stones, when Huang Chen, gasping a little for breath as he sat beneath a canopy of purple silk supported on campliolr tree poles, saw, in the distance, a horse- man galloping madly towards him.

Huang, who was suffering from a period of inactivity and an attack of iiidigction following a heavy meal of deg‘; fat and rice mixed ntith hot spice. glanced with appar- ent nonclialance towards the rider, and his expression was still urbane when the man, a. broken arrow sticking out from his breast, dis- mounted some twenty yards from the canopy and staggered towards the War Lord.

"Oh, Father of the Moon!" he cried. “Hear me! ‘May yellow dogs defile the graves of my an- cestors, but this morning, the dew still being on the grass, Li-Tuk, with a thousand spears, raided across the Valley of Flowers and hath burned to the ground the Gold Pavilion which you built but last year!"

Huang Chen folded his hands across his portly belly, which swathed in blue silk worked with

spies of Li-Tok.

“Sweet child, they will observe you. and seeing the weak escort that accompanies you. they will seize upon you and carry you off to Li-Tok.

“You will go quietly with them,

my child, without protest, trusting l

always in the wisdom of thy father. And when you have been but two days with Ll-Tok, then you shall

tell him, or his wife, or anyone in .

his house that a sickness has come upon you.

"Go in peace, sweet Rosy Pearl.“

She bowed three times.

“I am much honoured to be the daughter of my father," she said. "Celestial Parent, I shall do thy bidding to the utmost."

Two hours after noon on the following day a band of Ill-Toke spears, riding swiftly on the shaggy Manchurian ponies. swept down upon the litter of Rory Pearl in t the Valley of Flowers. They killed t.‘ e bearers and the six spearmen t and went off, the 112m swlngirigl between two horses, pleased with their prize yet not knowing how great that prize was.

Conservation

(Continued from page 9) The legal position of fish-eating birds in the United Statesis. in fact, rather satisfactory, and present laws if neither disobeycd nor re- laxed would assure indefinitely the , preservation of a large proportion of the group. Of species inhabit- ing the mainland, only tlic follow- lug are not protected by federal law and some of them receive local protection: Pelicans (3 species and subspecies», cormoi-ants (l0), water turkey (l). iblsc-s t5», spoonblll (l), klngflshcrs (4) and osprey t1). Some of these are among the most

golden dragons, awed all bcholdcrs.

“Ohe. Wo-Sang." he said softly. "Let this thing trouble you less than the arrow which sticks in thy middle. Go . . - . die in peace."

The man staggered away and Ifaang Chcn considered dccply. None of those about him spoke, for they were aware of the condition of his mind.

But her friends from London backed by thslamwereonhlstrack and he fled from Streathlsm. carry- ing her ladyahlp with him. He was overtaken at Burlington and the Countess was delivered out of his hands. This time he was ‘bound over to keep the peace ln suretles of himself for £10,000 and two other suretles of £5,000 each.

The trial “for conspiring against | Lady Strathmore to assault and I imprison her," took place on May 1 10th, 1787. Much evidence of ill- usa/ge came to light. and the result was that Stoney Bowes was sen- tenced to a fine of £300, also to three years’ imprisonment, and to keep the peace for fourteen years. Lady Strathmore now played a trump card; she brought action to set aside the deed by which she had transferred her income, rents. and other properties to Bowen shortly after her marriage. The trial went entirely in her favor, and Bowes was deprived of all the pro- perty and was ordered to give up all the rents he had received; which, of course, he could not do, as he had spent them. They were consequently entered against him as s. debt and he was cast into prison where he remained till his death 1n June 1810.

In March, 1789, Lady Strathmore was restored to her property and freed from the unfortunate con- nection she had formed. After the long struggle she enjoyed a train- quil life for eleven years; she died in April, 1800, and in agreement with her last wishes, was buried in a superb bridal dress. Her tomb- stone is to be seen in the "Poet's Corner" of Westminlster Abbey, where she was interred.

Josie Footc. a surgeon who at- tended stoney. and who wrote the nicmorls of his life, does not draw an altogether lovely portrait of him. "His person was rather in his favor, and his address was probably, when young, captivating. His speech was soft, his height more than five feet ten inches, his eyes were bright and small, and he had a. perfect command over them; . . ..his hair light and his complex- ion ruddy, hls smile was agreeable, his wit ready; but he was always the first to laugh at what he said, which forced others to laugh also. His conversation was shal-

l in their already depicted ranks. l We import from foreign lands many birds of no more, if as much, interest, paying for their capture and transportation, and for their subsequent maintenance in numer- ous zoological garden-an objféctlvc certainly not to be compared in merit- with keeping some of our native birds alive in a state of Nature.

As has been suggested before, if

authority seems lacking for the federal government to give legal. protection to these especially in- teresting and threatened species in the ordinary way, the defect prob- ably can be overcome by lclgisla- tion naming the birds themselves national monuments, thus making them wards of the United States government wherever within its jurisdiction their migrations may carry them. The cvidciicc is that many of our people are genuine conserva- tionists, earnestly interested iii the welfare of wild life. Why not more? The attitude is not outside the in- mite capacity or cvcn tlic conscious desire of the average person. It needs only cultivation. It is the extension to wild life of the friend- liness, the fellow feeling that. iil- most everyone has for a dog. With a. feeling of fellowship, and a dc- sire to understand, it is u. revela- tion what: enjoyment there ls in every such experience, conviction deepens that after all we are fel- low creatures, each in its own way engaged in the pursuit of happiness. It does not tiikc many rcalizntions of this vital truth to make :1 na- ture lovcr-one ivhosc attitude to- ward wild things, on cvcry possible occasion, will bc that of appreciat- ing and protecting because he may, instead of dominating and cp- prcsslng because he can.

To those who need example, it may be said that one can be a. na- ture lover and be in the best of company. It will not hurt anyone to be more like Robert Bums, whose laments for the home-less field mouse and for the broken daisy have moved the hearts of all men, ur-more ' like Rudyard Kipling,‘ whose beautiful stories of the llttl brothers of the Jungle are worl renowned. It will not harm any mun to try to stand in the com- pany of Henry ‘Phorcau. Jo Muir and John Burroughs, whose worslilp of Nature has cnnobled their writings. and whose wrltl gs and whose wltlngs have ennob ed America.

There was something un- common in the connection of his nose with his upper lip; he never could talk without the nose, which was long and curved upwards, be- ing also moved ridiculously with the upper lip.” And with this per- sonal tribute we take our leave of Stoney Bowcs.

BacdaZ-z History (5)-

Bacda tolls us how Christianity was called upon to penetrate the rudc livcs of our tcutonlc ancest- ors; the process was a long one. lasting from the fourth to the clcvcnth century, on the Contin- cnt of Europe. The seventh cen- tury is that of the Anglo-Saxon convcrrvion, While the eighth, Bacdas own century, is “the Golden Age of Early English Christianity" Alas. in the ninth century, the heathen Danes swept over the country, ivave-likel and the work had largely to be done over again.

In Baedas time, then, Christian Kings were on the throne,“ and from the monasteries everywhere flowed a new and fascinating stream of lcnmlng. "From his own Jiirrow" (on Tyne), says Vera Scuddcr, "the best extant text of the Vulgate, the Codcx Amlritlnus, comcs to us." A new and curious tone of Joy awoke in England, as the old paganism, with its tales of the sad grey seas. and menacing lands peopled with demons and dragons, fled before the new and gracious light.

Miracles occupy many pages of the hostory, but they arc homely miracles. clearly not. artificial, as those of later times were said to be. “It is an interesting evidence of Bucdalw honesty that he is chary of miracles in the period where he had only tradition to guide him,

and multiplies thcm as he ap- proaches the time when he could sift his testimony himself," says a commentator. At a. time when faith in Christianity is being as- sailed both openly and insldiously,
