A beautiful young girl sat at an open window gazing out upon a gar den redolent with lilac bloom. Her hands were clasped, her eyes Ilxed upon the full moon sailing on la silver state, her soul's thoughts going forth to her lover at the other end of the world. She was, Agnes Norton, and tho "per son upon whom her heart centered was Wade Latham, author and art ist. Once ho had been a law reporter, and quite Incidentally hud acquired In formation upon which rested the vital Issues of the great Norton will case. The Norton family rose or fell on tho final decision upon that noted litiga tion. It was natural on account of this that Agnes and Wade should meet. It was just as natural that they should love. The Norton case would not come up for a year. Wade had an offer from a publication to Invade central China anil bring back something new from pen and pencil to give to the world. Success In this effort mean:, further, a recognition by tho Academy of Design. It was a great commission for a young man and Wade ambitious ly understood Its execution. A year bail nearly gone by. Agnes had not heard from her lover for near ly three months. The will case came up In thirty days. She pictured lilin among great tem ples', far extending mountain chains, amid splendid pageants of richly garbed mandarins only the glare and glitter of a vast empire tilled her mind. At that very hour the man she loved was at the crisis of his life a lone figure amid a lonely, lonely scene. Ho crouched behind tho figure of an Idol In a Chinese burial ground, pale. Thousands of miles from civilization, a friendless hunted fugitive, he was lurking In this forlorn retreat, cling ing with n natural love of life to a mere thread of hope. He drew further Into the shadow of his refuge as he made out two forms approaching. Then at a glanco he made out friends, and spoke to them. Both tho new comers wero Mongoli ans. One poorly dressed advanced, kotowed humbly to Wade, and even kissed bis feet reverently, gratefully. "See," be said, ailslng and waving his companion forward as though he. wero some supremo person "it Is the high one of our family Kwang Lo." Wade welcomed the lithe, erect young man Introduced. There was a Unlet dignity that attracted. "I am the sacrllb e," he said simply. "The sacrifice':" repeated Wade In wonderment. "It Is so," was the quiet reply. "It Is you who a month since found the mandarin at tho home of my kins man. He was, about to ,be beheaded for an Infringement of the law.'' It was that or the payment oC. 1,100 taels. Wade well remembered tho circum stances. Sheer pity for tho unfortu nnto family had, Indeed, Induced him to part with nearly all his surplus stock of money. "Slnco then," continued Kwang Lo, "the evil mandarins, thinking you had money, have Imprisoned you In the hopes of winning the bribe ransom you could not pay. Last night my kinsman here enabled you to escape from Jail. They will seek you every where. They have sent for me, the high one of the family, to get ou be yond peril, and because for sumo great reason that Is not our affair you must n tti jiMt lit) til ft 1(1111 Utiflliil II V " IJl III (Mll IHtl 11 V IIIIKI rl.lll(l "But I hae no means to plir-uo my Journey fioni Bclro to Canton," sag gesteil Wade. "They shall be provided," quietly as sured Kwang Lo. ' True to bis promise Kwang Lo re appeared shortly with a two-wheeled pushcart holding a close wicker box top. Across this was a broad sheet of Immboo bearing some Chinese let ters In bright vermilion. In an Instant Wade knew what this meant. The royal sign manual was alwavs written with a veriblllon pen cil. Within that wicker covert Wade Latham was conveyed to Belro. When It was opened he found himself In tho rear room of a Chinese pawnshop. Kwang Lo had disrobed to the waist. Encircling hlni was a band of gold, heavy and unbroken, bearing native characters. There was some talk be tween him and the keeper of the shop. Then money passed, and Kwang Lo came forward and placed In Wade's hand a sum equal to two hundred American dollars. "I have agreed to remain here the slave of the shop keeper until I ant redeemed," said Kwang Lo. "The family circlet, sacred for generations surely my family will not allow It to pass to others at my death 1 But that .Is naught to you. I am the sacrifice 1 glory In thus doing for the man who saved my kinsman!" Thnt sublime sacrifice was first In the thoughts of Wado Latham when he landed on American soll.As quick ly as bo could reach his friends more thnn the amount necessary to redeem Kwang Lo and his family talisman was transmitted to BeJro to make of him a free man. In time to act as a witness In the great law ?,ili und to see It won for Ueneral Norton, hntorpd and famous thrui;u his coop Imlloun to science nnd literature, W.i'V LntliHin gained n still richer prl.e after all Ida perilous adventures the hand of loyal, happy Agnes Norton.
