A Mandarin
And a Mummy
It Was Not All a Dream
Bt CLARISSA MACK IE

ciation. UIL
Taul limiting ducked bis head from
the fieri* onslaught of the November
gale and ran quickly up the wide stone
ste|>s that led to the old fashioned
house where be had his bachelor apart
ment. Once within the warm n-d
lighted hull Its genial atmosphere
seemed to Infold him like a crimson
mantle. He was mounting the red
carpeted stairs wltb lingering back
ward glances Into the hull below when
one of the tall mahogany duon ojtened
from the Jwrlor and a head wax thrust
forth and then hastily withdrawn as
the owner's eyes met Paul's startled
glance of admiration.
The door closed softly and there was
nothing for Paul to remember sa e a
vision In pale blue, with a crown of
golden hair and a pair of the must
heavenly blue eyes he had ever aeen
As he fitted a key Into Ids own door
he wondered who the girl might t>e
There were two other bachelor apart
ments besides his own. while the Ma
sons, who owned the house, occupied
the entire lower part. Perhaps the girl
was some relative of that elderly
couple, but he had never dreamed of
associating the rather dried and mum
mified Masons with such a bright,
beautiful creature.
Fie had snapped on the electric lights
and was standing before his mantel
piece as his thoughts found utterance.
"She Is the loveliest creature I have
ever seen," be said slowly.
The little Chinese mandarin on the
mantel suddenly nodded approval In
the most uncanny fashion. Paul stared
for an Instant, and then he reallied
that there was a heavy vehicle rum

bllng past and thnt all the odd* and
ends of bric-a brae on the shelf were
tinkling nnd rattling In unison.
"So you think so. too. old manT"
laughed Paul as he shook off his over- !
coat and tossed his hat after It on the
wide couch. The mandarin continued ;
nodding In the wisest manner while
Taul drew a comfortable chair to the
prate, stirred the coals Into a red glow
and thrust his feet Into a pair of gnyly
embroidered oriental slippers. "1 don't
suppose there's the slightest chance In
the world that I'll ever have an oppor
tunity of meeting her? the old mummy
down there is so crabbed: always looks
at me as If he thought I was coming
to no good In the end. I don't know a
more sober or a harder working chap
than yours truly? do you. Wa Shlng.
or whatever your name ts?" Taul eyed
the mandarin quizzically as the bead
nodded violently In the affirmative.
"Prat that passing drayt So you do
know a better fellow, eh? Well, out
with It? who is he?" ne leaned for
ward, spreading his brown, capable
Angers to the hot coals and looked up
ward at the grotesque face on the
6helf.
Then, to his unutterable astonish
ment, his question was answered in
Just the high, thin, reedy voice one
might expect from a Chinese mandarin
who sits on a shelf all day long.
"Why. Penlow is a most estimable
young man. my dear. He's superin
tendent of a Sunday school and libra
rian of the Culture club and"?
'Tenlowl Well, of all the mollycod
dles!" Paul's disgust got the better of
his astonishment at finding his man
darin endowed with speech. "If you
admire Penlow's sort, why. I'll give
you to him tomorrow! Poof!" He
lighted a pipe and leaned back In his
chair, drawing slowly through the
stem while he surveyed the now vlo- ;
lently agitated mandarin.
"Don't know your own mind; that's
what's the matter with you. Wa
Shlng! Now you're saying 'Yes' and
then the other thing. When the traffic
ceases you'll settle down and go to
sleep like the funny old beggar you
are, eh?"
?Tm surprised, Paul,'' nodded the
mandarin, his thin voice growing
peevish?1 "I'm surprised at your taste.
Hunting Is a most respectable young
man and pays his rent regularly, but
so far as I know he doesn't attend any
church. In fact, I Snow he lies abed
Sunday mornings until a most dis
graceful hour, while Penlow"?
"Rubbish, Paul! it's most Indelicate
to speak of Mr. Penlow In that man
ner. I shall take especial pains that
yon do not meet the young nan yon
profess to admire. In my day**?
A photiocrapb Id the mom overhead
mddcnlx blared Into activity. and tbe
mandolin'* votre was drowned In tbe
chaos of band music that followed,
bat he continued to r?d wisely while
Paul pued back at him with a pns
*k?d frown.
"Mtgbly tjtieer. disconnected aort of
conversation yon bold. Wa Piling." b?
expostulated, reaching up for the or
nament and holding It close to the
light. "How do you manage tbat
talker tatki-i- business* Your bead
seems hollow. but of course that's oo
criterion tbat your vocal organs may

It they say about empty ves>?els mak
ing the m<wt noise? I rather guesa
I've lieen asleep!"' yawned Mr. Hunt
ing. In conclusion. an he returned the
mandnrln to the abelf. where be con
tinued to nod foolishly for several
minutes. "IxMt your |>ower of speech,

Immediately forgot all about tbe man

found an occupant for the other large
chair beside bla hearth. It would be
somebody gowned In pale blue, with a
fluff of golden hair and a pair of for
getmenot eyes. Where had he aeen
just such a face before?
Suddenly he leaned toward hla desk
*nd opened a drawer. lie fnmbled
there for awhile, tossing aside paper*
atul pictures wltb furious seal until he
brought forth a small photogravure of
an Ideal hend. He propped It against
the (tedestal of the electrolier and stud
ied It sllenily.
At last he drew a deep breath. "No
wonder her face seemed familiar," lie
aald in a low tone. "If she didn't pose
for this picture I'm a sinner, and. foot
that I am. I never tried to find out the
artist: I was Just satisfied to be In
love with her without discovering her
nnme. How In thunder can I get to
know her? For I must even If 1 hold
old Mason at tlie revolver's month and
demand an Introduction." He stared j
Intently Into the coals of (Ire. and for ;
several moments there waa dead al
ienee In the room and without. Even ;
the ahrlll complaining of the wind had
ceased for awhile.
Then there came a piercing scream
from the room underneath, a terrified ;
cry for help, and there was the sonnd
of running feet across a floor.
It was the work of sn Instant for
Hunting to open his doors and r**acb
the staircase. Afterward he remem
bered that his slippered feet only
touched three stairs In descent. Then
he pushed open the parlor door and
met an appalling sigbt.
One of the long lace rnrtalna at tbe
windows was fiercely blaring, while
the girl with the golden hair was try
ing to lear It down wltu the little
desperate, shrinking hands.
As Hunting came through tbe door
the biar.lng curtain fell to the carpet,
and as (he girl tried to stamp out tbe
chnrrlng remnants her own soft voile
gown Ignited and the flames swept
upward.
It was then thnt Paul Hunting
snatched up n white fur rug from the
floor and, throwing It around the (rtrl.
crushed out the flump* before they ?
reached her hands or face or even
burned much of her gown. At last
she lay In hi* arm*, limp and white
as the tor that enveloped ber.
"I'm all right now, thank yon." she
said In a aoft voice.
She released herself from Hunting's
arms. and the white rug dropped to the
floor, revealing the skirt of ber pretty
gown scorrhed and charred.
She held out a hand to her rescuer
with a charming amlle. "This gentle
man has saved my life. Cousin I.#
nnder. Will you and Cousin Sarah add
your thanks to mine"
"Bless me, child, It'a Mr. Hunting
from upstairs! I thought It waa Pen- :
low. Your band. Mr. Hunting!" Tbe
mummy extended a dry brown paw.
and Paul's strong fingers closed around
It, while his bead swam dlmlly as the
old man's voice rambled on In a mo
notonous speech of gratitude, for the :
voice of Mr. I-ennder Mason was like
the voice of the mandarin, high and
thin and piping in quality.
Cousin Sarah stopped screaming and
gave another dry hand Into Hunting'*
grasp and made a prim tittle speech.
Paul Hunting and the golden haired
girl looked at each other across tbe
width of the fireplace, and the forget
menot blue eyes fell before bis be
traying glance. With a sudden Im
pulse he told her the story of his little
nap and the whimsical dream be bad
had of the nodding mandarin who had
found speech.
When he had concluded she laugbed
merrily. "You were not asleep, after
all, Mr. Hunting. Conaln Leander
made a fire In the grate tonight to
please me, and be opened some little
ventilator In the chimney that must
communicate with your room. We were
talking, and yon really beard Cousin
Zander's voice."
"Waa he talking to yooT* demanded
Paul suddenly.
"Yes," she said, with embarrassment
T>ld yon bear what we saHT"
"1 heard only one voice? his." ex
plained Paul, with growing enlighten
ment "Who Is named Paul down
herer
"1 am," said the girl In ? small voice.
"Pauline la my name, but they call mo
Paul. But now. Mr. Unntlng, we are
to drink to your bravery. Here come
my cousins."
That night before he went to bed
Mr. Hunting patted his mandarin k>v
Incly on the back. "Good for yo?. Wa
Shlng." he said softly. "Ton made an
opening wedge for conversation. She's
the dearest girl In the world, and Pm
going to win ber. Wish me good luck,
old fellow r
As he replaced tbe mandarin on the
shelf the fooflsb bead nodded congrat
ulations.
