TINKER'S BAND.

The tinker was

never wholly

accepted by the village fols as one

of themselves. Not ever marriage with one of their own, a recognized side entrance into the community helped him, and to the last, notwith standing his fame. he was still on the outside of that spiritual circle. He was known to them before he settled in the village, for periodically he would come trundling his machine down the road from the moor tops, and would sharpen scissors and knives, mend kettles

In took up his station in due course and kept the looms clacking whilst the wife bided patiently at home; wove overlooker took him to task over a diligently if not skilfully until the fault. Tinker's spirit, sore fretted at confinement, blazed up. With a grand, swift gesture he drew his hand across the threads of the warp, severing them, and with burning eyes, pans, frame pictures-all the odd jobs shrank in feat, marched out of the before whose gleam the overlooker, that came the way of those long. shed. That night his fiddle wailed nervous fingers of his, fingers that until even Lizerann's iron nerves were the wonder of the men and the secret admiration of the lasses. He it sang defiance and triumph. And were nigh breaking point. But also was a queer, wildish sort of chac, it was in keeping with his spirit that too, not readily to be crossed had a free and independent air, of he lived on bread" and water that the very spirit of the moors that held the village in its cup, given to moods that, seemed to reflect their wildness, to passions as swift and as gasty as the winds that at times swept down these hillsides, yet as clean and as chivalrous as the wind and the moors. And because he was a free, untamed thing of the open the fates sported with him.

It was Lizeranti and her widowed mother who, returning late one night fromten upland farm, stumbled into something on the steepest part of the winding road. It was the tinker's machine, its big wheel broken, its parts scattered about the road, and the tinker himself in the ditch with a damaged head and a broken leg. They carried him home-no great task for two stalwart women, for he was lean and thin. They bedded him and nursed him, but because the doctor was in his cups the leg was not pro- perly set and the tinker limped for the rest of his days. Because of that, and also because gratitude and chivalry mingled in him and uplifted him, Lizerana became Mrs. Alonzo Fletcher. But that was merely the official name: Tinker the village dabbed him, and Tinker he and his remained..

Lizerann continued to run her looms at the one shed in the village, as was the custom; Tinker himself did odd jobs. But the yearning for the free and open road assailed him, deep passionate moods possessed him and for days he would limp upwards and roam the moors, raging against his fate and the bonds that held him. Thea it was that Lizerann wept in secret sorrow and fear, until..oas day, discovering a pawoticker in the lining of his old coat, in a fine, flash of instinct she redeemed his old fiddle. for him. Thereafter she had little to complain about with regard to his rovings. Tinker turned in his moods to the instrument. He was no mean player, and he had a soul for music greater than his executant powers. In the day's of his moods he fiddled morning, noon, an night, until it was accepted that he was part mid.

It is not only wrong but criminal for a writer to make such a state- ment unless he is able to produce evidence to back up his accusation. Foreign writers have a tendency to throw this kind of mud at Chinese oficials without a shred of justifica- tion and on the most flimsy rumours. To besmirch a man's character in this way is unworthy of one who poes a critic of Chinese

officialdom.
