Wu I'll;,.' was not a cobbler at all, hut a diamond uteri bant. He had pun bused fie il';iiii"iid from a rajah In India for 11 ! of its real value, the rajah beinp in need of ready cash, and had crossed the border Into Clii.1.1 tntelldiim to lake It to I'ekilig with a view lej si'lliiiK it to the emperor. Hut lie well knew (hat the transporliiiion of sta ll 11 valuable u I t ii If across I ho whole of that vast territory wouid lie well iiimi impossible. I'.oih the Indians ami the Chinese are very cuiiuiiiK. and ' if it were known that he was iravelm); Willi ho jjvai a treasure lie was sure to lose it by the way. Wu Tunc was us subtle as his ene mies, in- sent a man out beai'.ni; a cbryslal instead of the diamond will) (lie sloue so carefully concealed that he thought no one would Unci It. If it was not discovered he would then send the real sto.ie by another niessen;:er hidden in the same way. ltul the day after the bearer starlet! he returned without the cbryslal. lie dispatched another with a different devh e. but he, too, was sent back w ith th" same expe rience. After sending several d liferent persons to make these tests he deemed hisoun Ingenuity Inadequate and look ed about til 111 for some one shrewder Hun. himself. Next d.ior ti) the cobbler lived a 111:111, Chin;; Faun, so poor that he 1111 1 Ids family were starvlni;. une day this poor fellow told Wu Tiiiik' that his children were el,im; one by one. and he considered it heller that he should die that they f;i.-lit live. He had been offered a sum of money by a man con deninert to be oociiled to take his place, and l" was about to accept the oiler. Wu Tun". t!il.i!;in;r that a man so (Icperi'ie v.oiild, If any one could, carry his d' aioiil thro".'h to Pe':lm;. made a c nilii'. i nl of him. tellhi'. hi i) that if he s'ueeeee'ccl 111 (lulmr so be wou'd cle liliu a ei!,irter of III protlt, v. hleli would eu 'ble hltu t" the lilec a n.ihiili for the re it of h! i life.

Chlim I'iiii-: was not n htkdit nuin at ou these animals the hrver grade of Chinese subsist, but b manuKetl to pet ric e enough to Iccp his xtrengtb without the other luxuries. On the third day after he had set out he was stopped by a baud of rob bers, the leader of whom Mid to him: "A runin r has brought us wed that you ore the bearer of a valuable dia mond. Deliver it to me or die'" "What absurdity Is this'.'" cried Chlng rang. "My family are starv ing. I could not bear to see ihem die. ho 1 left them and am going through the country, begging my way." But the robbers paid no attention to his words. They took lilni into a wood and. beginning at Ids hair, ex amined every part of his body anil clothing. Stripping him, they held up his i lot hex, feeling every part and rip ping open any seams that might con tain the gem. The thick soles of bis shoes they cut Into bits. No diamond was found. Not salislied with their search, they told him that if lie would not reveal the pirn e where he hail hitl (lon It they would kill him. They even forced Iii ut to kneel with his hands tied behind his back, and one of them raised a sword over him. It tit he sub mitted to all this without a word, and the robbers, convinced Unit he did not have the diamond, desisted and let id in go. Though the poor man was left with his idot lies badly torn and bis shoes destroyed, he went on with tl light heart, for he felt that "o worse test than this could be put upon him. He had feared most to be followed from Kiirakash and next to be stopped by those to whom Information of his movements had been forwarded. He now hoped that both these dangers had been passed. Indeed, lie was way layed by only one more party, who had received Information concerning him. and these, after a careful search, mnde up their minds Hint he had been sent as a blind to attnu t attention from the real bearer of the treasure, who was taking another route. So the traveler set out again, mm h encour aged. Hut fearing that If those who were watching for the diamond failed to find another person on the same quest they would stop him again, he traveled night and day for three days. Then his feet were so sore he could go no farther without a rest. Chlng Fang traveled as a beggar till he rem heel Suohau. where he found funds that bad been forwarded by his principal, and, being so far from Ids base that he believed no one would suspc t h's mission from this point, he hired convey am es. Nevertheless Chi na Is a. very large country, and to reach Tchlng lie must traverse nearly the whole breadth of it. At last he ar rived at the capital and, going to an inn, settled himself to await the coin ing of the men bant.
