THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, AUGUST||13, 1891.
The last, it is to be feared, did not listen with the same attention to Mr. Wong as he vruchtaled to Mr. Brown, But of course that was the preacher's fault.
For, as be plaintively told Mr. Brown on one of the few occasions in which he found that excellent gentleman in solitary possession of the house, never until now had any one taken any pains to interest him, Gregory King, iu misslovary work. Doubtless the clergy of Shanghal were very carnest men, and their work amply blessed, but they were not of the stump to influence men, There were, to speak candidly, only fit for ladies' classes and Bible readings. Never till now had Gregory felt that there might be something in life worth lying for beyond 'taels, dollars, and cents. To all of which Mr. Brown Ulstened with what he would have called in a missionary report "devout thankfulness." And he com- missioned his wife, who was nothing loth her self, to be very kind and friendly to this most Intelligent young man, and rebaked Mr. Wong more than once for reminding him that he had preached twice out of his turn in the little English chapel.
No, Gregory King was simply doll, not Insincere. The society of his fellow-creatures | was necessary to him. And then he was annoyed and irritated by an opposition there was to him. Annoyed, because it was kept up by beings so infinitely inferior to him; imitated, because it centred around the only interesting person in the place.
Of course this person was Maggie Brown, But, though she might be interesting to a Gregory King, It was certain, astonishing though it was to this outsider, that Mr. Peter Wong rather con- sidered he had honoured her by choosing her as his wife. This discovery was far more amazing than that her stepmother thought her plain, for after all looks are greatly modified or set off by dress, And Maggie was to shock larly untidy, dreamy, unpractical, everything calculated to irritate the commonplace step- mother! Still, what glorious tints would come out to her hair, if only it was fastened up securely, and the jeopardy of the halpins did, not so wholly absorb Gregory's attention! And why, would she wear the hideous tartan, and why did she wear those dreadful cotton gloves? Such shapely hands, so chapped and freckled ! But even in that state they were more pleasant to look at than Mrs. Brown's podgy sausage- fingers.
Peter Wong's opposition was, naturally; beneath Mr. King's notice. Who can feel aur thing but amused at the hostility of, say, the cat of a house? Further, Mr. Wang's dialke of Mr. King was distinctly disapproved of by Mr. and Mrs. Brown. They felt jus' a trifle embarrassed by the innocent assurance with which Peter dropped into the most comfortable armchair, a trifle vexed that be he did not realise it was bis duty to wait on the ladies at tea-time, open doors for them, and avoid certain topics of conversation in their presence. Up to the time of Gregory King's arrival the Brown family had looked upon Mr. Wong as a genuinely good intelligent young fellow, "quite good enough for poor Maggie quite good enough to take to England with them as a show-specimen en their next holiday. How interesting the old ladies would find him! How subscriptions to the Mission would flow in, and how much more room there would be in the house for the two ttlo step-sisters now at school. Mr. Brown herself could make nothing of Maggie. Perhaps she was not exactly suited to be Peter Wong's wife, but are not most marriages made between unsuitable people? And do they generally tum out so badly after all?
Mrs. Brown firmly believed that marriages are made in heaven. That this might account for so many tuning out badly on earth had never suggested itself to her. Had she not herself been married by photograph, without ever having seen her husband, much less known him 7. And was she not a living proof of the success of such martleges? By the aid of such feminine logic she arrived at the conclusion that she was doing her duty by Maggie, an unthankful and deceitful ghi, in sanctioning her engagement, Nevertheless she had secret misgivings of late as to whether this distinct descent in the social scale for her step-daughter did not implicate and lower the whole Brown family also,
|
floated before his mind for many years, and new, with a concrete instance ready to create, Dr. Mackenzie felt he could not hesistate. With a haste that utterly took away Mr. Wong's breath, and which somewhat amazed himself, he had planned and then mecipitated this engagement, And now Peter Wong confided to him all his troubles, difficulties, ears and hopes, culminating in his dislike to Gregory King. And while Dr. Mackenzie blamed Peter for ungrounded prejudice, he himself was unconsciously influenced thereby. Perhaps Gregory'z manner to him bad not been quite as wise as it might have been, for Dr. Mackenzie was not above being conciliated.
But as yet Gregory King had only enjoyed the opposition of the doctor and Peter Wong, It gratified his self-conceit, for he would far rather they disilked, him than that they ignored him. It would be much more amusing to win over the first-of course Peter Wong didn't count-than if the whole household had with one accord fallen on his neck and embraced him. And perhaps, who knew? he might not after all be kept so many years in Chingcha. He had plenty of good friends in Shanghai, and they would surely find him, Gregory, necessary to their enjoyment before long.
So when Mrs. Drown invited him to a birth. day celebration, in the middle of January, ho accepted only provisionally. He was going for a run to Shanghai, and did not know whether be would be back in time.
"Why did you ask Mr. King, mother?" said Maggie, as soon as the gate had closed behind that gentleman.
"It is my table, Maggle, and not yours," answered Mrs. Brown blondly, "Next year, when you are married, you will be able to ask any one you like and they will be at liberty to refuse, if they like."
Mr. Wong laughed. He liked these references to next year. But Maggie didn't. Her face tuined a shade whiter with anger, and then she got up, went out of the room, upstairs isto her own bedroom, and there walked up to the glass and looked at herself.
And then she drew from her pocket a little picture. It was only a chrome from a newspaper, but she handled it carefully, flattening it out, and comparing the face therein portrayed with her own in the glass.
The result was a satisfactory one. Maggie Brown evidently admired the picture, and by admiring the picture admired herself. For the two faces were wonderfully alike.
How had she come into possession of this
picture?
It had chanced in this way. A few days before. Maggle had had a stormy interview with her stepmother over some neglected domestic mending. Maggie had forgotten all about this mending in the absorbing Interest of a book taken on the sly from Dr. Mackenzie's library For she was fond of books, in an altogether uneducated fashion, and whenever the doctor was away on one of his raids into the interior, Maggie would steal into his library, and lay secret bands on whatever intellectual food she could find there. In that room lay heaped up treatises on the buning questions of the day, pamphlets on Socialism, on Agnosticism, on Atheism, side by side with French novels in an English translation, a most miscellaneous collec. tion, not always orthodox or even moral. Dr. Mackenzie deemed his duty to have, if not to read, both sides, though probably his bags of teeth extracted from the jaws of suffering nailver library. But Maggle read his books in secret filled him with greater pride than his well stocked
and puzzled her brain over them, and was.COM- vinced by the one sids in theology, till a stronger argument threw her on to the opposite side. And all this she did without guidance, without telling any one. Surely she was a deceitful girl And of course ber person and her duties in the household were neglected, and Mrs. Brown was perfectly justified in finding fault with her,
Her summing up was, perhaps, undeserved.
"After all, Maggie, it mayn't be so much your fault. We all know your poor mother was hope- lessly incapable, kept your father in misery, and was regretted by no one when sho died."
What could Maggie do but dart a look of the most utter contempt at Mrs: Brown, and ding herself out of house?

THE DARVEL BAY TRADING COMPANY, LIMITED, IN LIQUIDATION. THE following is the Report of the Liquida tors to the Meeting of Shareholders to bo held at the Company's Office, Queen's Road Central, No. 9. at Noon, on THURSDAY, the 20th August, 1891:
The Liquidators now beg to lay before you the Accounts of the Company up to 31st July, 189. They regret that the result is so unfavourable, but taking into consideration the present critical state of business, in North Bameo, and the depression of the Timber Market in Hongkong and other places in China, a better result could. bordly be expected. If the Liquidation of the Company had not been commenced a year ago, the loss would doubtless have been heavier still, and very probably a further call would have been necessary.

Lord Salisbury, speaking at a banquet given at the Mansion House, last evening, said that he never knew European politics to be so tran- quil at at the present time. Refening to the troubles in South Americs, his lordship stated that the British Government had firmly refused to arbitrate between the conflicting parties in Chill and would not interfere with financial matters in the Argentine Republic. The Eastern question he said, still remained unsolved, but the rapid developing of Egypt and Bulgaria pro- mises they will be countries to solve the ques tion. Turning to the question of the peace of Europe, the Premier dwelt on the importance to be attached to the pacific sentiments expressed by the Emperor of Germany on the occasion of His Majesty's recent visit to the Guildhall and to the impending visit of the French fleet to England, which he would welcome as guarantee of the unity of France.

Whatever he undertook, from build. ing a chapel with his own hands to forcing a nominal Christianity on a whole village that he accomplished. His feats of endurance or of strength, bordered on the miraculous, Naturally, however, this great "Apostle of Chingcha," a 3 he was fondly styled by his mission in England, had great faults as well as great vlnues. He could not brook a rival, nor even an equal, And in consequence bis fellow-workerk were always insignificant, second-rate men, against when he ralled for idleness and fondness of the loaves and fishes, but whom, it must be con- fessed, he would have hounded out of the mission had they dared to attempt to follow in his foot steps to a martyr's glory. With an almost childish coacelt he combined an equally childish simplicity, which made him an easy tool in the hands of his more clever Chinese con verts.
