nabobs of that English suburb from whom
he drew the greater part of his monthly in
come in return for services rendered, or
supposed TO be rendered, as watchman of
their premises, Greed, according to the
now generally expressed opinions of his
rich clients, neglected TO perform the SER
vices for which he was paid, aud after re-
peated warnings he was discharged. The
discharge did not trouble the guardian of
the peace nearly as much as the cutting off
Of his finances. That brought him to his
senses; he begged TO be restored to favor,
but 10 no purpose, and. netted by the i'll
success Of his pleading, he swore vengeaue.
Now, the aristocratic residents of the
green hills OF Marin have, or claim TO have,
much difficulty In keeping white female
help In their picturesque homes, and in
consequence are compelled to hire Chinese.
These almond-eyed individuals, indeed,
have monopoly of the labor market over
there, and through lack Of competition from
outside barbarians are able to command
much higher wages than their fellows in
this city. They are an opulent lot, those

Having formed the resolution they went
to Constable Greed and unbosomed them
selves to him. This was in the day of his
prestige. He was just as willing 10 make a
little money from the servant as from the
master, aud he quickly rented the little yell
low men cottage for the purpose asked,
and before long all the rich mems cooks
and chambermen were enrolled on the list
OF members. The club was opened with
great eclat and enjoyed prosperous ex-
istence till Sunday last, when Greed made a
descent on the place and marched eff IA
members 10 the Lookup i'm San Rafael on a
charge OF opum-smok king and gambling.
BY this neat plan Greed netted at stroke
something like $500 for mileage, and as he
