It might have beena month after- ward that Dr. Duchesne was setting a broken bone in the settlement, and after the operation was over had strolled in- to the Pa)metto saloon. He was an old army surgeon, much respected and loved in the district, although perhapsa little

feared for the honest roughness and military precision of his speech. After he had exchanged salutations with the

miners in his usual hearty fashion and accepted their invitation to drink Cy Parker, with a certain affected careless- ness which did not, however, conceal a singular hesitation in his speech, began}

**I’ve been wantin to ask you a ques- tion, doc-——a sort of darned fool ques-

| tion, you know—nothi» in the way of

consultation, don’t you see, though it’s kinder in the way of your purfeshun. Sabe?’’

**Go on, Cy,’’ humoredly. ‘' hour.”’

“Ob, it ain’t anything about symp- toms, doc, and there ain’t anything the matter with me. It’s only just to ask you if you happened to know anything about the medical practice of these yer Chinamen?”’

**I don’t know,’’ said the doctor bluntly, ‘‘and I don’t know anybody who does.’’

There was a sudden silence in the bar, and the doctor, putting down his glass, continued with slight professional precision:

**You see, the Chinese know nothing of anatomy from personal observation. Autopsies and dissection are against their superstitions, which declare the human body sacred, and are consequent- ly never practiced.”’

There was a slight movement of in- quiring interest among the party, and Cy Parker, after a meaning glance at the others, went on half aggressively, half apologetically :

‘*In course, they ain’t surgeons like you, doc, but that don’t keep them from havin their own little medicines, just as dogs eat grass, you know! Now, I want % put it to you, asa fair mind- ed man, if you mean to say, jest be- cause these old women who sarve out yarbo and spring medicines in families don’t know anything of anatomy, that they ain’t fit to give us their simple and nat’ral medicines?’’

‘*But the Chinese medicines are not simple nor natural,’’ replied the doctor coolly.

‘‘Not simple?’ closing round him.

**T don’t mean to say,’’ continued the doctor, glancing around at their eager, excited faces with an appearance of wonder, ‘‘tbat they are positively nox- ious, unless taken in large quantities, for they are not drugs at all, but I cer- tainly should not call them ‘ Do you know what they principally are?’

‘*Well, no,’’ said Parker cautiously, ‘‘nerhaps not exactly.”’

‘‘Come a little closer, and I’) tell you,’’

Not only Parker’s head but the oth- ers were bent over the counter. Dr. Duchesne utt red a few words in a ton

terrainated there, and the victims made no attempt to revenge themselves on See Yup. That they had one and all, secretly and unknown to each other,

that nothing more was | said of it. The incident seemed to have |

patronized him there was no doubt, but

at the same time, as they evidently were not sure that Dr. Duchesne had not hoaxed them in regard to the quality of See Yup’s medicines, they knew that an attack on the unfortunate Chinaman

“Washing seems to pay, See Yup.” would in either case reveal their secret | and expose them to the ridicule of their | brother miners. So the matter dropped, {| and See Yup remained master of the situation.

Meantime he was prospering. The cooly gang he worked on the river when not engaged in washing clothes were ‘‘picking over’’ the ‘‘tailings’’ or refuse of gravel left on abandoned claims by successful miners. As there was not mcre expense attending this than in stonebreaking or ragpicking and the feeding of the coolies, which was ridiculously cheap, there was no doubt that See Yup was reaping a fair weekly return from it; but as he sent his receipts to San Francisco thrcugh cooly managers after the Chinese cus-

tom and did not use the regular express ; company there was no way of ascer-

taining theamount. Again, neither See Yup nor his fellow countrymen ever appeared to have any money about them. In ruder times and more reckless ! camps raids were often made by ruffians ! on their cabins or their traveling gangs, but never with any pecuniary result.

| This condition, however, it seemed was destined to change. One Saturday See Yup walked into | Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express office with a package of gold dust, which, when | duiy weighed, was valued at $500. it was consigned to a Chinese company 1n Vhen the clerk handed | up a receipt, he remarked cas- i | { }

| San Francisco. See z ually:

‘Washing seems to pay, See Yup.’’

‘* Washee velly good pay. You wantee | washee, John?’ said See Yup eagerly.

‘‘No, no,’’ said the clerk, with a laugh. ‘I was only thinking $500 would represent the washing of a good many shirts.”’

‘‘No leplesent washee shirts at all! Catchea gold dust when washee tail- ings. Shabbee?’’

The clerk did ‘‘shabbee,’’ and lifted his eyebrows. The next Saturday See Yup appeared with another package worth about $400, directed to the same consignee.

‘‘Didn’t pan out quite so rich this week, eb?’’ said the clerk engagingly.

‘*No,’’ returned See Yup impassive- ly. ‘‘Next time he payee more.”’

When the third Saturday came with the appearance of See Yup and $450 worth of gold dust, the clerk felt he was no longer bound to keep the secret. He communicated it to others, and in 24 hours the whole settlement knew that See Yup’s cooly company were taking out an average of $400 per week from the refuse and tailings of the old _ abandoned Palmetto claim!

The astonishment of the settlement ‘was profound. In earlier days jealousy and indignation at the success of these degraded heathens might have taken a 'more active and aggressive shape, and '§¢ would have fared ill with See Yup and his companions. But the settlement had become more prosperous and law abiding. There were one or two eastern families and some foreign capital al- ready there, and its jealousy and indig-

Fortunately for See Yup, it was an old established mining Jaw that an abandoned claim and its tailings became the property of whoever chose to work it. But it was alleged that the See Yup company had in reality ‘‘strnck a lead’’—discovered a hitherto unknown vein or original de- posit of gold not worked by the previous company—and, having failed legally to declare it by pre-emption and public registry, in their foolish desire for se- crecy, had thus forfeited their right to the property. A surveillance of their working, however, did not establish this theory. The gold that See Yup had sent away was of the kind that might have been found in the tailings over- looked by the late Palmetto owners. Yet it was a very large yield for mere refuse.

“‘Them Palmetto boys were mighty beerless after they’d made their big ‘strike’ and got to work on the vein, and { reckon they threw a lot of gold away,”’
