The Whisky to drink with soda water
Peter Dawson Whisky has this rare quality, that it does not lose its fine character when mixed with water or soda water. Try a P.D. Scotch with Soda (ice cold if you can get it) and you will realise how different it is from an ordinary whisky. It has an individuality and charm of its own.

IN THE BANDITS' MIDST. LADY MISSIONARIES IN HOURLY PERIL OF BEING CAPTURED.
The following letter was received in Shanghai last week from Bliss. Darroch who with Misa Sharp recently spent sev eral weeks in the bandits' hauds. Now, at Sibwa. in Honau, she is again, in like peril. The letter vividly, reveals the in- tolerably disgraceful state of that pro vince...
Sincausrex, January 13th.
We are again at the bayouets' point. We were reused at 12 p.m. last-night hy letter from Chowchinkow. Mr. Brock had telegram from Mr. Lack that Lao Yang-jen, the robber chief, was near and trying to cross the railway line. Today we hear he is over and looting near Fu kow. Yenling 35 li from Fukow has fallen and some other places. Our people are very scared and any flee! But where? No place is safe. » The briganda' great aim is to capture Chowchiakow, and they are very desperate men.
We are dressed ready to leave. If any word comes that they are travelling in this direction, we will simply try to hide in some village, at least that is our iden at present. It presupposes that we will get warning in time to fee..
We do not think we will stay in the its to-night but sleep in one of the villages, probably about three li from here. It is a trying life, never knowing when these people will swoop down on one, and this Tao Yang-jenis such a
terror.
Mr. and Mrs. Bird (C.1.3. missionaries) are in their path. I don't know if Mr. Bird is at home: the last nows we heard he was not. I hope Mrs. Bird and iss Fox will get away, safely if they are at tacked. One does feel so exasperated with the soldiers: they could do so much but they would not. They are not anxious to get the robbers. What they want is the loot. Ope would think this, Lao Yangjen had made plenty of wealth by this time: he might retire now on his ill-gotten gains, but I suppose, as the Chinese proverb says, "Man's heart is never satisfied." And he dares not do anything else.
If he disbanded his bandits, the Gov. ernment would have him right away. The soldiers in this city have no chance to defend it. There are only about 100, and what is that number compared to those who come against us. 'Our hope is in God. He never fails and we know that not a single shaft can hit, till the God of Love sees fit." We felt that this was so when we were their "hands before.

THOUGHTS OF DISGUISE
Sunday evening.
We have arrived here in peace at this hour. I mean we are still in Sibwa. The Evangelist went to the Lieutenant and he says there is no danger and advises us not to flee. He fears if we go there will be a panic in the city. A good many have left already: He says, they have not heard if Yenling has fallen. He has sent out spies to a distance of 20 miles bet they have not yet returned, so we are staying and taking what fate the gods. aced us.
Our women have been busy planning disguises for us. If we fee Miss Sharp's is casy as she is dark with eyes, but what clothes would ever diaguise me? Some of them say "go away at the first sound: don't wait till they come. But if we ran at every remour, we would never be here. It is pathetic to see their anxiety that we should not be captured again.
I
think our own women felt rather bal be. canse we were.seized last tine. They had saved themselves and left us to our fate, and they want to make up, for it this time.
THE BRIGANDS DEAWING SEAR.
Monday morning. The news has come that the brigands are only eight tỉ, away, We were pre- pared for flight, but the soldiers would not let us out. So here we are.. They hope either to defend the city or give the robbers money and prevent them from coming in, I will give this letter into a native's hand, so that they can post it if we are carried off. I do sincerely hope they won't come in. Of course the city. is in terror where to go for safety no one knows. They enter every single house, so there is no chance of hiding anywhere. I pity the poor Brocks (C.1.3. missionaries) with their three children at home. Chowchiakow is the robbers oh- jective. There are 2.500 soldiers there, but Lao Yang-jen is a very determined man. They have left for Yanchen on the railway.

[A telegram and later letters state that bandits have moved on and that the Indica are quite safe.]
