All tho birds of heaven may sing, All the. wells on earth may spring; All the winds on earth may hriug All sweot sonnds together; Sweeter far than all things heard, Hand of harper, tone of bird, Sound of wood at sundown stirred, Welling water's winsome word, Wind in warm wan weather. I Mated by When a man is about to entertain a very charming girl whom he is anx ious to impress and suddenly finds that with the exception of a few coppers, he has no money In his pocket, he may surely be forgiven the use of a few strong ejaculations. Such was the plight of Everard Hamlyn at 10 minutes to 1 on a certain Saturday af ternoon. He had been so absorbed in reading the brief of an important case which was to be heard lu the courts on Monday that he had forgotten thc emptiness of his pocket At 1 o'clock Alice Valentine, un American girl with whom he had formed a deep friene ship, was coming to see what a bar rister's chambers in the Temple looked like, and she was also to bc taken out to lunch. The worst was that there were only 10 minutes to rectify the mistake. He wrote ont a check hurriedly, and then remembered that time would not per mit to go to the bunk to cash lt. His clerk was gone nud the Temple was wrapped in Its usual Saturday after? noon peacefulness. Without a hat he rushed over to Har court buildings to see if his friend Anderson was in his chambers. He could rely upon him for a couple of pounds. But the fates were against Hamlyn. Anderson was out and the doors were locked. Realizing that there was nothing for it but to go to the bank he hurried along np the court into Fleet street, meaning to hall a hansom. But as he arrived there the clock struck 1 and he kuew that he could not get to the bank and back under 20 minutes. Alice would never forgive him If he was not at hi3 rooms to receive her. Suddenly his eye was caught ?>y thc three brass balls hanging over a shop almost opposite. Thc sight suggested a new Idea to his mind, and he prompt ly acted upon IL In another moment he rushed across the road, and enter ing the shop handed his S0-guinea hun ter over the counter. "How much?" said the clerk eyeing the hatless and breathless Hamlyn somewhat suspiciously. "?h, I only wanted a fiver," replied Everard hurriedly. . *"Have you got a card on you?" asked the clerk, thinking he was on the tracie of a swell mobsman. Unversed In the ways of pawn bro le ers, Hamlyn pulled out his case and handed him a card. '"All right, slr," seeing the name and address and. noticing it corre sponded with the Initials on the watch. "I beg your pardon, sir." and he hastily filled up a ticket and counted out five pounds. "Have you a penny for thc ticket, please?" Hamlyn Impatiently threw down a copper and fairly bolted out of the shop. The people in Fleet street stared at him with amazement and a gutter arab with whom he had collided, shouted, "Who are ycr sbovin of?" as he crossed the road. Now it happened that Alice Valen tine was Just at that moment passing down Fleet street on her way to the Temple. She had arrived somewhnt earlier than she had intended, for she upheld the traditions of womanhood with regard to unpunctuality. "It would never do," she said to her self, "to be quite punctual. He would think I was too Impatient" So, timing herself to arrive at the Temple about 1.15 o'clock, she was strolling leisurely along wheu she caught sight of Hamlyn rushing wild ly out of a pawnbroker's shop. For a moment the ludicrous side of the situ ation struck her very forcibly, and she laughed softly to herself. But gradually as she realized the full sig nificance of the action, her amusement gave place to pity. "Poor boy." she murmured, "I had sot the faintest idea that he was hard np. And to think that I have let him spend such a lot of money In taking me about I must get even with him somehow." There was a veiw tender spot in her heart for the tall, clever young barris ter who had shown so plainly his pref erence for her above all other women. Alice Valentine and her aunt Miss Safford, were making a tour of Eu rope, and had met Hamlyn first of all at a hotel In Geneva. He had ren dered them a number of civilities, and as he happened to be doing the same round of Switzerland as they, for a month he was their almost dally com panion. With the frankness of Ameri can women, they accepted his atten tions graciously, and. finding bim a pleasant attendant enrolled him in their services without further ado. Miss Safford generally accompanied Alice wherever she went, and showed quite as much eagerness to "do" every place thoroughly as her niece. It was only on rare occasions, when the elder ly lady was obliged to admit that she was "too tired for anything," that Hamlyn had a chance of taking Miss Valentine ont alone. The constant companionship, how ever, had brought about the usual re sult. Hamlyn was not an Inflammable man. He had reached the mature age of 30-not unsought after-without having succumbed to feminine churms. But there was something about the fair American that fascinated him In frpite of himself. Today, as she came Into his room, a perfect vision of freshness and love liness In the gloomy atmosphere of the Temple, Hamlyn was conscious of a certain shyness and reserve in her manner that be had not noticed before. "I don't believe I ought to come here by myself," she said as she closed the door. "I wonder what Aunt Catherine would say to it" "You are late," said Hamlyn. "1 have been walting impatiently foryon," LAUGHTER. Ono thing yet there is, that none. Hearing ere its chimes be doue, Knows not well the sweetest ono Henrd of mon beneath the sun, Hoped in heaven hereafter; Soft and strong and loud and light, Very sound of very light. Heard from morning's rosiest height, 4 When the soul of all delight Fills a child's clear laughter. -.Algernon Charles Swinburne. a Pawn. t "Am I really?" replied Alice. "What is the time, then?" He pulled at his watch chain me chanically, forgetful of bis escapade, anti disclosed the bare swivel. He col ored slightly as be realized his mis take, and felt her eyes upon him, but answered lightly: "About 20 minutes past 1, I fancy." She was walking round the room glancing at the ponderous-looking books and tbe papers tied with pink tape, getting, as she expressed It, the "atmosphere" of the place. "It must be just lovely to work here," she said. "Everything seems so old and historic. I believe I should only have to sit here a few hours a day and I should become a lawyer by breathing the air." "Which reminds me," ?aid Hamlyn, "that I have been breathing air quite long enough and want luncb. Where shall we go?" Alice Valentine hesitated. "Look here," she said at last, Ml want to say something to you. You have boen taking me nbout such a lot and I have done nothing for you. 1 feel real mean. I want you to let me stand you a luncb today." He shook bis bend laughingly. "You forget," be* said, "that you are my guest; but I want you to say where jvqgi would like to go." He named a well-known restaurant in Piccadilly, where she knew the prices were ruinous. "No," she said, "don't let us go there. Will you take me to one of those little bohemian places you told me of where you get a table d'hote lunch for ia pence. I should love to go. It would be a new experience. "You look too smart," he replied, glancing at her admiringly, "but I tell you what I will do. We will split the difference and go to a kind of seml fasblouable place where you shall see all sorts and conditions of people and bear a band." Once or twice during lunch, when con versa tion dragged. Hamlyn noticea again the thoughtful expression on ber face. At last he took the matter "Tell ne," he said, 4,what you ave thinking of." "I was thinking," she replied ?lowly, "of how I could help some ?me who bas been very good to me." "Not a difficult matter, surely-for you?" "It ls very difficult," she said, "un der the circumstances. The person I want to help is poor and, very prou'J." She was looking down at the table cloth and studiously avoiding his eyes. "Can I be of any assistance?" be said. "You-why-" she laughed. "Yee, perhaps you can. I will think about lt and let you kuow." There was a new sympathy In her voice and manner, and Hamlyn felt a mad desire to take her there and then In bis arms and cover her face with kisses. But there was no opportunity to tell ber of his love. Immediately after luncb they were obliged to burry off to , meet Miss Snfford at a matinee, and Hamlyn bad no further chance of a tete-a-tete with Alice, but he arranged satisfactorily a meeting for Monday afternoon, when be determined to put bis fate to the test. "You will not forget," be said at part ing, "to let me help you in the matter you mentioned?" "No," she replied with a singular look on ber fae?. "I will not forget." As Everard walked home be recalled ber tones, her face, the fair, fiurhed cheeks, sweet mouth, earnest brows and eyes of softest fire. There was that in ber look which sntlsded him. j He was awakened from his reT:rle by an urchin inquiring whnt o'clock it was. For the second time that (lay he mechanically tugged nt his watch chain. "Confound It!" he exclaimed as he realized his loss. "I never knew tLf.t It was such a nuisance to be without .1 watch. I must get it out first thing on Monday morning." The urchin grasping the situation j ran away grinning. On Sunday Hamlyn again bethought himself to the watch. "I had better study the ticket," he said, "and see what I shall have to pay." He fumbled In his waistcoat pocket; lt was not there. He tried the others with the same result With growing uneasiness he searched in every pocket of the clothes he had worn on the Sat urday, but the pawn ticket was not to be found. "I must have left lt at my cham bers," he declared at last "It is very careless of me. I hope my clerk won't find it." On Monday morning he got up ear lier than usual and drove down to thc Temple in a hansom. His clerk had already arrived. Hamlyn searched all over the table carefully, then In all the drawers, but could not find the ticket Finally he summoned the clerk. "Have you moved any papers?" he asked rather irritably. "No, sir. I haven't touched a thing." "You haven't by any chance found a ticket, I suppose?" pursued Hamlyn. "No slr. What kind of a ticket have you lost?" "It doesn't matter," he replied impa tiently, "it ls of no importance." Putting on his hat Hamlyn hurried Into Fleet street to the pawn shop. "I want to redeem the watch I left here on Saturday," he announced. "Where ls your ticket sir?" said the man. " I have mislaid it" replied Hamlyn, "but lt ls all light you remember me, I expect The watch belongs to ma and I want lt now." " I am very sorry, slr, but you can't hnve lt without the ticket." Ilamlyu muttered nu exclamation ot Impatience. "But suppose I have lost it, what then?" "1 will give you a form of declaration to be made before a magistrate." "Is there no other way?" said Ham lyn, realizing the trouble and annoyanca this would cause. "No, sir," said the pawnbroker, "1 am afraid there ls not." There was no time to waste he had to be In court carly, as his case was among the first on the lists. It was no use stopping to argue the matter. He must go before a magistrate and sign the declaration ua soon as possible. Returulug to his chambers, he put on his robes and was soou lost in contemplation of the business In hand. About an hour after his visit to tbc pawnshop Alice Valentine drove up in a cab to the same door. She had found the pawn ticket lying on Hamlyn s table on the Saturday afternoon and had appropriated it, meaning to re deem the watch and send it back to him as soon as possible. She was rather nervous nt going into the shop, but she was not the kind of a girl to allow her feelings to stand in the way of any project she wished to carry through; so, putting on an air of un usual haughtiness, she entered thc little compartment and handed In thc ticket. "I want the watch, please," she said. The pawnbroker's assistant looked her up mid down carefully. When he j had, as it were, sLed her completely, he inquired dryly. "Where did you get this?" Alice flared up Indignantly. "That ls no business of yours, tell mc what I have to pay and give nie thc watch." "Not so fast," said thc young man, "you must answer one or two ques tions first" He went away, and after a whispered consultation returned with a gray bearded old man, who was polite but firm. "I am sorry, madam, but I cannot allow you to redeem this pledge until you inform me how this ticket came Into your possession." "I found it." said Alice. "Allow me to inform you, then," said the pawnbroker, sternly, that you arc committing a very grave offense. By attempting to obtain thc watch you lay yourself open to criminal proceedings." "But," said Alice, "I am a friend or thc gentleman to whom the watch be longs." "Come, como, that won't do nt all. A gentleman who called himself Mr. Hamlyn was here about an hour ago , endeavoring to get the watch himself' . "Mr. Hamlyn been herc this morn ing!" cried Alice. She had never ex pected that he would be able to re deem his, watch so soon. ^ ''Better send for a policeman,'*" sug-' ' gested the assistant. "Hold your tongue," said his master. Then, turning to Alice Valentine, he said: "I do not wish to b2 hard upon you. but I insist upon an explanation? I will send over to tho address on thc ticket and if your story is true Mr. Hamlyn will corrobate it. Harvey, send thc boy over to Queen's Beuch Walk and n?/k Mr. Hamlyn to come here immediately." "Mr. Hamlyn coming here," cried Alice unguardedly. "Oh, I must go at once." "I cannot allow it," said thc pawn broker. "You must walt. If you re fuse I have no option but to call a po liceman." If looks could ki1! the pawnbroker would have died on thc spot, as Alice, with the nlr ol' a tragedy queen, sub mitted to the Indignity of being es corted to thc back parlor, while Harvey kept watch and ward over her. A quarter of au hour later Everard Hamlyn jumped out of a hansom and hurried into thc shop. He wan an Im petuous person and he had not waited to change his robes, but had come straight away in wig and gown from the law courts. He was met lu thc passage by Harvey, who had been awaiting his arrival with keen inter est. "There's a woman in here," he said, pointing to the parlor, "who says she's a friend of yours, and has found your pawn ticket, but I suspect-" "Out of the wny," cried Hamlyn, thrusting the officious young man one side and rushing into the room. Alice, by all that's wonderful!" Ut exclaimed, and then seeing that her bosom was heaving convulsively, he put his arm around her and Inquired tenderly what had happened. "They have been so rude and Insult ing she sobbed. Hamlyn waited for no further ex planation, but, seizing Harvey by the throat he shook him until the unfortu nate youth had not a breath in lils fiody. Then, turning to the elder man, he cried sternly: "What do you mean by Insulting this lady?" "The pawnbroker, discovering his mistake, was all apologies, but Hara lyn's temper was still up. Nothing could justify rudeness to a lady, he said, and he insisted on an abject apology from the crestfallen assistant Then he took Alice back to his rooms In the Temple. When they were alone he put his arm around her and said impulsively: "Oh, ray darling, how sweet of you to try to get ray watch back for me. Did you do it because you care? Tell me darling-I love you!" "It was very silly of me, I know," she said, softly and slyly, "but I thought you were poor, and-oh-I wanted to help you." "I am not poor," he said, smilingly, "at least, not very poor. I have a thousand a year, and we might man age on that." "It would not have mattered," shu whispered, If you hud been a poor man." He took out the watch and held it before her ej'es. "I shall never look at lt," he said, "without thinking that I won you through it"-A. E. Manning Foster, In the Royal Magazine.

Ninety thousand troops are . being, rushed with feverish haste toward the turbulent province of Pe-cbi-li,'.where Pekin, the capital, is situated, and where the mouth of the empire, tho Gulf of Po-shi-li, opens. The fact is that sluce the war wltli Japan the Chinese have been 'doing ] precisely what the Boers did after, the-1 Jameson raid. It is even said that their leaders have gained their chief encouragement in the present anti-for eign uprising from the remarkable suc cesses of the Boers against the British last winter. There Is no longer any doubt that the Chinese troops are armed with modern weapons and know how to fight, which they did not live years ago. The Brit ish mistake of underrating the enemy, If made by the Powers in the present Instance, would entail results too ap palling to contemplate.' An upheaval then would involve the whole empire, all foreigners would be slaughtered or driven into thc sea, and the Yellow peril would literally menace the entire world.

Six of her cruisers are at present locked up In the Gulf of Pe-chl-ll. China, therefore, can expect nothing from her navy. What, then, docs her army offer. Her army: 'J'C me troops ii?

One of the most formidable forces In China ls the feudal armies of Mon golia, who are allied by mutual Inter THE GOD OP WAR. ests <to the Empress Dowager and the Manchu dynasty.

Direct evidence of the friendship of the Empress Dowager for the Boxers has been given in the removal of Prince Ching as chief of the Tsung-ll Yamen, or Foreign Office, and bis re placement by Prince Tuan, father of the heir apparent to the throne, who ls a sympathizer with the Boxers.
