THE PEGGY STEWART MONUMENT,
POWER OF BUDDHIST PRIESTS.
Tbelr Kiionelolllty fur tlm Fearful
lloxor Movement in Chlun.
Buddhist priests were the Instigators
of the horrible Boxer uprising In Chi
na and one of the aids they Invoked
in goading the Boxers to violence was
hypnotism. These priests exercise a
great lnlluence and , aro regarded In
tho light of miracle workers. Their
most extravagant statements are re
ceived with lmnllc.lt bollof. They as
sured the Boxers that th:!y were luvul
nerablo and that tho bullets of tho
foreign devils could not Injure them.
How thoy put their knowledge of hyp
notism into effect is tlnm narrated by
A, Hehry Savage Landnr:
"The usual malicious stories were
circulated In Boxers' placards of for
eigners kidnaping children to turn
them Into soup or pound them Into
Jelly, which, as a medicine, becume en
dowed, after it had undergone the
further procssa of drying In the sun,
with marvelous strengthening quali
ties. Foreign doctors were also accused
of plucking out the eyes of people un
awares. Foreign .devils, It was de
clared, then' ground these eyes Into
dust and used them in their occult arts.
Most of thcBo absurd rumors were
probably originated by nutlves who
had seen surgical Operations performed
In mission hospitals. The kidnaping of
children was invariably the first ac
cusation brought against tho foreign
ers, and whenever riots occurred
against 'while devils,' the Instigators
maliciously did away with the number
of little unfortunates, and then held
.foreigners responsible for their disap
pearance. The Buddhist monks, how
iever, in the Boxer movement, had do

Shay were very adept at hypnotism,

to Impress the masses. They hyp

CHAPTKIt III.
Alice left her sinter standing In the
room and wont upstairs, But she was
more than one minute away; she was
three or four, for she could not at first
lay her hand upon the letter. When
she returned her s'ster udvanc'.'d to her
from tho back drawing room, the fold
ing doors between the two rooms be
ing as before, wide open,
"What a fine collection of bracelets,
Alice!" Hho exclaimed, us alio took the
letter. "Are they spread out for
show?"
"No," laughed Alice; "Lady Surah
la going to the opera, and will be In a
hurry when sho comes up from dinner.
She asked me to bring tbuin all down,
as she had not decided which to
weur."
"I like to dress before dinner ou my
opera nights."
"Oh, so of course does Lady 8s rah,"
returned Alice, as her sister descend
ed the stairs, "but sho said It was too
hot to dine In bracelets."
"It is fearfully hot. Good by, Alice.
Don't ring; I will let myself out."
Alice returned to the front room
and looked from the window, wonder
ing whether her sister had come In
her carriage. No. A trilling evening
breeze was urtslng and beginning to
move the curtains about. Gentle us it
was, It was grateful, und Alice sat
down In It. In a very few mlunt s the
ladies came up from dinner,
"Have you the bracelets, Alice'.' Ob.
I see."
Lady Sarah went to the back room
as she spoke, and stood before thn
table looking at the bracelets, Alice
rose to follow her, when Lady Frances
Cheuevlx caught her by the arm and
began to apeak In a covert whisper,
"Who was thut at the door Just
now? It was a visitor's knock, Do you
know, Alice, every hour since we crime
to town r have fancied G. rard m'ght.
be calling. In the country he could
not get to us, but here-. Was It
Gorurd?'
"It It was my sister," carelessly an
swered Alice. It was not a true an
swer, for her sister hud not knocked,
but It was the readiest that rose to
her Hps, and she wished to escape the
questioning.
"Only your slBter," sighed Frances,
turning to the window with a gesture
of disappointment,
"Which have you put on?" inquired
Alice, going toward Lady Sarah,
"These looso fancy things; they are
the coolest, I really nm so hot ; the
amp was that favcrlte roup ol the colo
nel's, all capsicums and e.iyemie, anil
the wine was hot; there hud been
some mistake about the Ice. Mill
trusted the new man, und he did not
understand It; It was all hot together.
What the house will be tonight I
dread to think of."
Lady Sarah, whilst she spoke, hail
been putting the bracelets Into the
Jewel box, with very little care.
"I had better put them straight," re
marked Alice, when she reached the
table.
"Do not trouble," returned Lady
Sarah, shutting down the lid, "You
are looking flushed und feverish. Alice;
you were wrong to walk so far today;
Hughes will set them to rights tomor
row morning; they will do till then.
Lock them up und take possesHlnn of
the key."
Alice did as the was bid. Slie
locked the cas and put the key Into
her pueki-t.
"Here Is the carriage," exclaimed
Lady Frances. "Are we to wait for
coffee?"
"Coffee In this heat," retorted Lady
Sarah. "It would bo uddlug fuel to
fire. Wo will have some tea when we
return. Alice, you 'must make tea for
the colonel; he will not come out
without It, Ho thinks this weather
just what it ought to be; rather cold,
If anything."
Alice had taken the briicelet. box In
her hands as Lady Sarah spoke, and
when they depurled carried It upstairs
to Its place In Lady Sarah's bedroom.
Tho colonel speedily rose from the
table, for his wife had laid her com
mands on him to Join them early.
Alice helped him to his ten, ami as
soon as he was gone, sho went up
stairs to bed,
To lied, but not to sleep, Tired as
sho was, and exhausted In frame,
sloep would not come to her. She was
living over again her Inteivlew wllh
Gerard Hope, She could not In her
conscious heart uffect to misunder
stand bis Implied meaning that she
had been the ennse of his rejecting
the union proposed to him. It (Utilised
a strange rapture within her, and
though she had not perhaps been
wholly blind and unconscious during
the period of Gerard's stay with them,
she now kept ropeatlng the words:
"Can It be? can It. he?"
U certainly was so. Love plays
strange pranks. Thus wan G r.ird
Hope, heir to fabulous wealth, con
sciously proud of his handsome per
Bon, his herculean strength, his tow
ering form, called homi and plunfd
down by the side of a pretty and noble
Ir.dy. on purpose that he might fall In
li ve with her Lady Franc s Ch nevlx.
And yet. the well-laid project failed;
failed because there happened to bo
another at that young lady's side, a
gad, quiet, feeble-framed girl, whoso
very Weakness may have seemed to
place her beyond the pale of mun's
!ove. But love thrives by contrasts and
It was the feeble girl who won the
love of the strong man.
Yes; the knowledge diffused a
strange rapture wlth'n her as alio
lay there at night, and she may be ex
cused If, for a brief period, she gave
rango to the sweet fantasies it con
jured up, For a brlof period only;
too soon the depressing consciousness
returned to Imr that these thoughts
of earthly happiness must be subdued,
for she, with her confirmed ullments
and conspicuous weakness, must nev
er hope to marry as did other women.
She bad long known her mother hud
prepared her for It that ono so af
flicted and frail as she, whose tenure
of exlHteuce was likely to bo short,
ought, nut to become a wife, and it bad
been her earnest hope to pass through
life unloving und unloved. She had
striven to arm herself ugulnst the dan
ger, against being thrown Into the
perils or temptation, Alas! it had
come Insidiously upon her; all her
rare had benu art at naught, and sho
know that she loved Gerard Hope with
a deep and fervent love. "It Is but an
other cross," she sighed, "another
burden to surmount and subdue, and
1 will set myself, from this night, to
the tank. I have been a coward,
shrinking from self-examination; but
now that Gerard has spoken out, I can
deceive myself no longer. 1 wish ho
had spoken more freely that I might
have told him it was useless."
CHAPTER IV.
It wax only towaids morning that
Alice dropped asleep; the consequence
was, thut long ufler her usual hour
for rising she was still sleeping. The
opening of her door by some one
uwoke her: It wits Lady Sarah's maid.
"Why, nilssl are you not up? Well,
I never! I wanted the key of the Jewel
box, but I'd have waited If I had
known,"
"What do you say you want?" re
turned Alice, whose Idcus were con
fused, as Is often the case on being
suddenly awakened,
"The key of the bracelet box, If you
please,"
"The key?" repented Alice, "Oh. I
remember," she added, her recollec
tion returning to her. "Be at tho trou
ble, will you, Hughes, to take It out of
my pocket; It Is on that chair under
my clothes,"
The servant came to the pocket and
speedily found the key. "Are you
worse than usual, miss, this morn
ing?" asked she, "or have you over
slept yourself?"
"I have overslept myself. Is It
late?"
"Between nine and ten. My lndy Is
up, and at breakfast with master and
Lady Frances,"
Alice rose the Instant the maid had
lefL the room, and made haste to dress,
vexed with herself for sleeping so
long. She was nearly ready when
Hughes came In again.
"If over I saw such a confusion as
that Jewel box was In!" cried she, In
us pert snd grumbling a tone as sho
dared to use. "The bracelets were
thrown together without law or order
--Just as If they had been so much
glass and tinsel from the Lnwther
Area lc"
"It was Lady Surah did It," replied
Alice, "I would have put them
straight, but she said leave It for you."
I thought she might prefer that you
should do It, so did not press It."
"Of course her ladyship Is aware
there's nobody but myself knows how
they are placed In It," returned
Hughes, comeqiiently, "I could go
to that or to the other Jewel box, in
the dark, and take nut any one thing
my lady wanted without disturbing
tho rest."
"I have observed that you have a
gift of order," remarked Alice, with a
smile. "It Is very useful to those
who possess It, and saves them from
trouble and confusion,"
"So it do, miss," said Hughes. "Hut
I came to ask you for the diamond
broieb't."
"The diamond bracelet!" echoed
Alice. "What diamond bracelet? What
do you mean?"
"It Is not. In the box, miss."
"The illiimouil bracelets are both In
the box," rejoined Alice.
"The old one Is there, not the new
one. I thought you might have taken
It out to show some one, or to look ut
yourself, miss, for I'm sure It's u sight
for pleasant eyes."
"I can assure you It. Is in the case,"
snld Alice. "All are there except whut
Lady Sarah hail on. You must have
overlooked It."
"I must, be a great donkey If I
have," grumbled the girl. "It must be
at the very bottom, amongst the cot
ton,' she soliloquized, us she returned
to Lndy Sarah's apartments, "and I
have Just got. to take every Individual
article out to get at It. This comes
of giving up one's keys to other folks."
Alive hustened down, bgglng par
don for her late appearance. It waa
readily accorded. Alice's olflco In the
house was nearly a sinecure; when
she had first entered upon It Lady
Surah was 111, and required somo one
to sit with and read to her, but now
that she was well again Alice had lit
tle to do.
Breakfast was scarcely over when
Alice was called Into the room.
Hughes stood outside,
"Miss," Bald she. with a long face,
"the diamond bracelets not in the
box. I thought I could not bo mis
taken." '
"But It must be In the box," nuld
Alice.
"But It is NOT," persisted Hughes,
emphasising the negative; "can't you
belter me, mlssf What'a fori with'
It?"
Alice Beaton looked at Hughe with
a puzzled look. She was thinking
matters over. It aooned cleared again,
'Then I July Sarah must have kept
It out when she put In the rest. It
waa she who returned tliemto the case;
I did not. Perhaps she wore it last
night."
No, miss, that Bhe didn't. She wore
only those two "
"I saw what she had on," interrupt
ed Alice, "But she might also have
put on tho other without my noticing,
Then she must have kept It out for
some purpose, I will ask her. wait
hero an Instant, Hughes, for, of
course, you will like to be at a cer
tainty." "That's cool," thought Hughes, as
Alice went into the breakfast room,
and the colonel came out of it with
tho newspaper. "I should have suld
It wus somebody else who would like
to be at a certainty Instead of me,
Thank goodness it wasn't in my
charge lust night, If anything droad
fill has camo to pass, My lady don't
keep out her bracelets for sport Mlsa
Beaton has loft tho key about, that's
what she has done, and lt'a hard to
say who hasn't been at It; 1 knew the
box had been ransacked over."
"Iidy Sarah," said Alice, "did you
wear your new diamond bracelot lust
night?"
"No."
"Then did you put It Into the box
wllh the others?"
"No," languidly repeated My
Sarah, attaching no Importance to the
question,
"After you had chosen tho bracelets
you wished to wear, you put tho oth
ers Into the box yourself," exclaimed
Alice. "Old you put In the new one,
the diamond, or keep It out?"
"The diamond was not there,"
Alice stood confounded, "It wns on
tho table at tho buck of all, Lady
Sarah," she presently said; "next tho
window,"
"I tell you, Alice, It was not there.
I don't know that I should have worn
It If It had been, but I certainly looked
for It. Not seeing It, I supposed you
had not put It out, und did not cure
sufficiently to ask for It."
Alice felt In a mesh of perplexity;
curious thoughts', and very unpleas
log ones, were beginning to come over
her. "But, Uidy Sarah, tho bracelet
was Indeed there when you went to
the table," she urged. "I put It there."
"I can assure you that you labor
under a mlstako as to Its being there
when I came up from dlnnor," an
swered Lady Sarah. "Why do you
ask?"
"Hughes has come to say It Is not
In the case. She Is outside, waiting."
"Outside now? Hughes," called out
her ladyship; and Hughes enmn In,
"What's this about my bracelet?"
"I don't know, my lady. Tho brace
let Is not In Its place, so I asked Miss
Seaton. She thought your ladyship
might have kepi It out yeslerdav even
lug."
"1 have neither touched It nor seen
It," said Lady Sarah.
"Then we bavo had thieves at work."
"It must be In the box, Hughes,"
spoko up Alice, "I laid It out on tho
table, and It Is Impossible that tlilovea
-as you plir.isi' It could have como
there,"
"Oh, yes, It is In the box, no doubt,"
Huld her ladyship, somewhat crossly,
for she disliked to be troubled espe
cially In hot weather. "You have not
searched properly Hughes."
"My lady," answered Hughes, "I
enn trust my hands, nnd I ran trust
my eyes, and they have all four been
Into every bole and crevice of th
box."
Lady Frances Chenevlx laid down
the Morning Post and advanced, "Is
the bracelet really lost?"
