Check of the Heather Chinee

One Of our city guardians was standing on
the corner of Second aud B streets yes
terday, when a wild looking Chnaman came
rushing Up, selling him by the arm, and
said.
you ketch um-saW?'
"Iiey?"
"You no savoy; you ketch'um saw -ee,
dam slaw-buck- ee. You savey?'
The officer was bewildered, and thinking
some terrible crime had been committed EN-
deavored to get the Celestial to explain
John repeated over every word of English
that he had ever learned, yet still be could
not make himself understood Finally, he
seized the officer by the arm and saying,
come long, started off at rapid pace,
closely followed by the eager official. They
went frs: to a washhouse on B street, into
which the Chinaman looked, and then with
shake of the head, struck out again.
Skipped out has he?" asked the officer,
as Re pounded along, using every endeavor
to keep up with the cat-footed Mongo-
liam.
Come along, we ketch UNI bimerby.'
On they went at rafting pace until a
house near the rolling mill was reached, into
which j Ohm locked and shaking his head,
