as a sign above their shops, and that two or more words, which might be merely equivalent to “‘ Virtue is its own reward,’’ or ‘‘Riches are deceitfygl,’’

was believed by the simple Californian miner to be the name ot the occupant himself. How See Yup accepted it with the smiling patience of his race, and never went by any other. If one of the tunne] men aways addressed him ag ‘*brigadier general,’’ ‘*judge”’ or ‘‘com- modore,’’ it was understood to be only the American fondness for ironic title. and was never used except in personal conversation. In appearance he locked like any other Chinaman, wore the or- dinary blue cotton blouse and white drawers of the Sampan cooly, and, iz spite of the apparent cleanliness and freshness of these garments, always ex- haled that singular medicated odor~- half opium, half ginger—which we reo- ognized as the common‘‘ Chinese smeli.”’

Our first interview was character®tic of his patient quality. He bad done my washing for several months, but I had never yet seon him. A meeting at Jast had become necessary to correct his impressions regarding ‘‘buttons’’— which the had seemed to consider as mere excrescences, to be removed like superfiuous dirt from soiled linen. [ had expected him to call at my ltodg- ings, but he had not yet made his ap- pearance. One day, during the noontide recess.of the little frontier school over which I presided, I returned rather early. I'wo or three of the smaller boys, who were loitering about the school- yard, disappeared with a certain guilty precipitation that I suspected fer the moment, but which I presently dismiser- ed from my mind. I passed through the empty schoolroom tomy desk, sat down and began to prepare the coming lessons. Presently I heard a faint sigh. Looking up, to my intense concern I discovered a solitary Chinaman whom I had overlooked sitting in a rigid atti- tude on a bench with his .back to the window. He caught my eye and smiled sadly, but without moving.

**What are you doiug here?’ I asked sternly.

**Me washee shilts, me talkee ‘but- tons.’ ”

**Oh, you’re See Yup, are you?’

** Allee same, sohn.’’

**Well, come here.’’

I continued my work, but he cid not move.

‘*Come here, hang it! Don’t you un-

cerstand

im it,

**Me skabhbee, ‘ccmme yea.’ Ext me no shabbee Hiellikan boy, who caichee me, allee sam You ‘comme yea,’ 3 shabbee?”’

Indignant, brut believing that the un- fortunate man was still in fear of per- secution from these mischievous urchins whom I had evidently just interrupted, I putdown my pen and went over to him. Here I discovered to my surprise and mortification that his long pigtail was held hard and fast by the closéd window behind him, which the young rascals had shut down upon it after having first noiselessly fished it outside with a hook and Jine. I apologized.

*“‘But why didn’t you come to my lodgiugs?’’ I asked.

He smiled sadly but intelligently.

*‘Mishtel Bally’? (Mr. Barry, my landiord), ‘the owes me five dollee for washee, washee. He no payee me. He gay he knockee hellee outee mealies time | I come for payee. Some no come housee, me come schoolee. Shabbee? Mellikan boy no good, but not so big as Mellikan man. Nocan hurtee Chinaman so much, shabbee?’’

Alas, I knew that this was mainly true. Mr. James Barry was an Irish- nan, whose finer religious feelings re- volted against paying mcney to a hea- then. I could not find it in my heart to say anything to See Yup about the but- tons. Indeed, I ‘spoke in complimentary terms about the gloss of my shirts, and i think I meekly begged him to come again for my washing. When I went home, I expostulated with Mr. Barry, but succeeded only in extracting from him the conviction that I was one of “‘thim black Republican fellys that wor- shiped naygurs.”’ I had simply made

an enemy of him. But I did not know that at the same time I had made a friend of See Yup.

I became aware of this a few days later. by the appearauce on my desk of #2 small pot containing a specimen of cameliia japonica in flower. I knew the school children were in the habit of making presents to mein this fartive fashion—leaving their own nosegays of roses from their parents’ gardens—bui I also knew that this exotic was toc rare to come from them. I remembered that See Yup had a Chinese taste for gardening and a friend, another China- man, who kept a large nursery in the adjoining town. But my doubts were } set at rest by the discovery of a small roll of red rice paper containing my washing bill, fastened to the camellia stalk. It was plain that this mingling of business and delicate gratitude was clearly See Yup’s own idea. As the finest flower svas the topmost cone, | plucked it for wearing, when I found, to my astonishment that it was simply wired to the stalk. This led me to look at the others, which I found also wired! More than that, they seemed to be an inferior flawer and exhaled that cold, earthy odor peculiar to the camellia,

even, as I thought, to an excess. A closer examination resulted in the dis-

covery that, with the exception of the |

first flower I had plucked, they were one and all ingeniously constructed of thin slices of potato, marvelously cut to imitate the vegetable waxiness and for- mality of the real flower. The work showed an infinite and almost pathetic patience in detail, yet strangely incom- mensurate with the result, admirable | as it was. Nevertheless this was also like See Yup. But whether he had tried to deceive me or whether he only wished ine to admire his skill, I eould not say. And as his persecution by my scholars had left a balance of consideration in his favor, I sent him a warm note of thanks and said nothing of my discovery.

As our acquaintance progressed, I be- came frequently the recipient of other small presents from him—a pot of pre- serves of a quality I could not purchase iin shops, and whose contents in their wrafty, gingery dissimulation so defied definition that I never knew whether they were animal, vegetable or min- eral; two or three hideous Chinese idols, ‘‘for luckee,’? and a diabolical firework with an irregular spasmodic

disastrous in result. | In setting him a copy I had blurred a word which I promptly erased and then traced the letters more diatinctly over the scratched surface. To my surprise See Yup triumphantly produced his copy with the erasure itself carefully imitated, and, in fact, much more neat- ly done than mine.

In our confidential intercourse I never seemed to really get nearer to him. His

| sympathy and simplicity appeared like | his flowers—to be a good humored im- | itation of my own. I am satisfied that his particularly soulless langh was not derived from any amusement he actually felt, yet I could not say it was forced. In his accurate imitations I fancied he was only trying to evade any reaponsi-

bility of his own. ‘Chat Gevoivea upon his taskmaster! In the attention he displayed when new ideas were present- ed to him there was a slight conde- scension as if he were looking down upon them from his 8,000 years of his- tory,

“Don’t you think the electric tele- graph wonderful?’’ I asked ane day.

**Velly good for Mellikan man,’’ he said, with his aimless laugh. ‘Plenty makee him jump!”

I never could tell whether be had confounded it with electro-galvanism or was only satirizing our American haste and feverishness. He was capable of either. For that matter we knew that the Chinese themselves possessed some means of secretly and quickly communicating with each other. Any news of good or il] import to their race was quickly disseminated through the settlement before we knew anything about it. An innocent basket of clothes from the wasle, sent up from the river bank, became in some way a library of information. A single slip of rice paper aimlessly fluttering in the dust of the road had the mysterious effect of diverg- ing a whole gang of cooly tramps away from.our settlement.
