Now in all of this there was mom than a little, for apart from her natural inclination to hazo as good a time as possible, here amid en tirely new conditions of life, and forming is they did a marked contrast to those of conn try vicarage, Cynthia had kept her ears open as well as her eyes. Even station guy had not as yet linked Raynier's name with that of Hilda, Clive, Bul it had speculated as to the view that would be taken at headquarters of the Politics Agent allowing himself to be lulled into a state of absolute blindness on the subject of the lil- affectedness of the Galarzai, the most import ant and powerful tribe within his jurisdiction. All of which Cynthia bad not been slow to take in; and Captain Beecher, who was always on hand with his dogeurt, or a rory sleek and ser viceable Waler af which he was sierstly afraid-if she preferred riding, was very do. voted, and substantially sound, and Cynthia Was verging on thiety. And a live and frisky dog was very much better than a dead and re- deced lion, and Haslam was an abominable cynic who know his India, and the dominant popula tion thereof, thorougbly.
She had zecoived Rayuier's telegram at Aden. Her father had forwarded it withent comment, and although its harden aged or little temporary annoyance it neither surprised nor disconcerted hor, for of it she there and then re- solved to take no notice at all. dre than ever now she congratulated herself the the angry letter she had been on the point of ending him after he had left her so brutally abo put it had remained unsent, mora than ever did she rejoice that no further communication had passed between them, and that therefore he could claim no fereal release. What had passed between them she would choose to regard as a mere tiff, which the magnanimity of her disposi tion moved her unconditionally to condons, sad this she would give out if necessary. For the rent, she reckoned on his easy-going nature, which by reason of his extraordinary forboar anco 48 regarded horself, she had come to regard as weak, and despised accordingly. There was no other woman in the case, she was enre of that, otherwise he might have turned restive. As it was, she would have things all her own way, and he would yield unconditionally.

So completely did she say nothing in fact, that the station decided that in view of the circumstances of the case, she was singularly lacking in appreciation, not gratitude.

She thinked Haven she was well off, indeed for a single woman almost rich.

For practical purposes the s work is so complete that a reference to its enables a person who understands English to
effectively with natives
who under communicato stand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Faropens residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly soquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in Chins it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.
It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.
