Soon Dr. Cassin came in, greeted Griggsby Doane with a warm hand- clasp, and at once examined his shoulder. Boatwright she had sent over to the dispensary for bandages.

BETTY DOANE, daughter of an American missionary at Tainan-tu, Frovince of Hansi, China, beconvss infatuated on the ship, while travelling to rejoin her tather, with JONATHAN BRACHEY, a distinguished writer, on his way to investigate tumors of Revolution in China, Brachey admits he is married, but tells Betty he and its wite have parted. He decides it is better not to see her again, but being told that I ainan-tu is the centre of the bitter feeling against the foreign Ho Shan Company, he goes there. Chinese officials take him to the Mission Compound to have him identify himself properly and there he sees Betty At first neither of the two speak, but as he is about to leave he dashes up stairs and whispers a few words to her. This astonishes ELMER BOAT WRIGHT, in charge at the Mission in the absence of GRIGGSBY DOANE, Betty's father, who is at So T’ung, where Chinese of the Great Eye Suciety, or “Lookers,” have attacked employees of the Ho Shan Company. M&S. BOAT WKIGHT, strice housekeeper of the Compound, is told of the meeting petweet, brachey and Betty and gets from the girl the admission that she knew Brachey was married. When Mr. Doane returns with news of a mas sacre ol the He Span Company's employees at So T’ung Mr. Boatwright tells him of the aifa'r between Brachey and Betty. Doane goes first to see his daughter but lacks the courage to speak to her about Brachey. Hie exacts trom Brachey later, however, a promise that he will leave ‘T’ainan-iui without secing the girl. Doane then starts to walk to Huna Cran, In the morning, Brachey receives a note from Mik. PO, interpreter at the Yamen of Judge Pao, telling him that the Great ieye soldiess are pienaing to attack the T’ainan-fu Mission, and that Mr. Doane had been led. Brachey carries the news to the Mission, but in the face of death, the whites refuse to leave their native converts and girls, Mrs. Boat- wright orders him trom the Mission, and Betty, to the horror of the rest, de- cides to go with him Accompanied by Brachey’s Chinese servants and Mr. Po, thé latter cscaping disguised as a muleteer. Betty and the writer travel toward Ping Vang, spendin:, three nights on the road, Betty is ostrucised by Mrs. Boatwright and the other women of the mis- sion, the whole mission staff having hurried to the Ho Shan Company's Com- pound at Ping Yang The Lookers, or Soldiers of the Great Eye Society, are repulsed’ ot first, but soon settled down to a siege of the compound.

He said the examination had yielded nothing of value Louis Freedman of No. 176 Delan- cey Street, assistant baker in the res- taurant, was found yesterday and talked freely, but was not even held as a witness. The District Attorney would not make public his statement, but from other sources it was learned he said he did not mix the dough. Charles. Abramson, the baker who quit his job there Saturday, and is out in $100 bail as a witness, insists that his assistant did mix it. Another discrepancy {s reported. The first stories given out stated that only the best of feeling existed be- tween the restaurant owners and the departing baker.

Doane, too, stopped, peering down. “Mr. Doane,” said the younger man, firmly but perhaps In a slightly louder tone than was necessary, ‘I am Jonathan Brachey."’ A hush fell on the group of them— Brachey waiting at the bottom step. Boatwright just behind him, Dr. Cassin barely visible, and Griggsby Doane staring down in astonishment. Brachey was about to speak again But Doane, with an exclamation that was not a word, seemed to leap down the steps, waving his stick about his head. is Mr, Doane?’ Brachey But you're ‘There was the sound of a few heavy | ther exterminating concern has been blows; and then Brachey lay huddled |!" the place since then and no em- ‘i ployee has used an exterminator of in a heap, and Doane stood over him, redthine very Hath any sort, according to Mr. Drexler, breath i Acting Health Commissioner Mona- Paar att tne tere |ghan reported to-day that the res- pale knelt beside the silent fig taurant is closed and guarded by order ere of the Board of Health, and that an embargo has been placed on all food- stuffs in the place.
