An Unfortunate Lover.

All Lee was clerk in Chinese store in
San Francisco, to which young white
woman froh Oakland suburb of the city,
frequently went to buy Eastern curiosities.
The Chinaman fell in love with her, and
sent many gifts to her house, all Of which
were appropriated by the Chinese servant
who pretended to deliver them. The mes
senger whose name was Sing, not only
stole the presents, but fabricated return
messages of the most encouraging kind
Thus led on, the lover fiually sent the fol-
towing letter: "My name belong All Lee.
My belong that hanson piecee young man
look see you every time you come makee
buy cuaio thing. My too muchee lub yon.
My lkee see you. Suppose you talkee
Sing Foo. What time can do. My come
Oakland your house talkee your father,
makee you my wifee. Sing say you lub
me, my lub YOU" Sing kept the letter in
his pocket and told All Lee that Mary de-
sired him to call that night. The up-shot
was that, while prowlng around the house,
An Lee was mistaken for burglar, and
grievously wounded.
