Chinaman, who was the only representative OF
his race on board, was among the first TO land.
He waited on the pier moment until tho little
girl came tripping down the ganGplank dressed
in neat gown OF dark brown and jaunty
black straw hat over her brown hair. She
seemed to be on good terms with the MonGo-

the girl didn't seem to mind 1t bit
At the door Of the shed the Chinaman met
Edward Garkin. who was waiting with his
hack for fare, and began to barter with him

mighty queer. and when the Chinaman told
