The husband, as stoical as a statue,
stood among the crowd on the side
walk as the carriage containing his
wife and child was driven away. Fook
Kim. the five-year-old boy Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lung, thrust his little head out of
sccond-story window and In pure
English cried out: "By-by, mamma.
In the carriage sat the heart-brolSen
mother with handkerchief pressed TO
her eyes. She glanced up at her little
boy, who was standing on his tip-toes
ut the window blowing kisses at her.
The husband also looked up as he heard
the voice: 'By-by, mamma" With
pitiful cry the little woman sank back
In the carriage. her face buried In her
handkerchief. The driver whipped up
tho horses and the carriage ratified
away to the Northwestern depot.
Hip Lung and his wife decided some
time ago to separate. What the trouble
Is between the couple could not DO

shed too much attention on white
women to please his wife, and after
much pickering they agreed to part.

July 4, 1892. lie was asleep when he
was carried into the carriage.
About half-past nine o'clock the car
rage was driven TO Hip Lungs place.
Bundles and baskets were quickly
placed on the drivers seat, and ten
minutes later some one went upstairs
and told Mrs Lung that all was ready.
She pressed her little boy again and
again as the tears streamed down her
checks Tearing herself from the boy
she followed the man who was carrying
Fook Chew In his arms downstairs.
AS she reached tho sidewalk her hus-
band stood within reach of her arm,
but there was no sign of recognition
between them. Mrs. Lung was attircd
In a gorgeous dress. IL had cost her
husband n good-sizcd fortune in China.
She wore nothing upon her head. In her
hair and on her wrists were ornaments
worn only by Chinese of high caste.
| Her feet were encased In the daintiest
slippers that one ever looked at There
was queenly beauty about the little
woman as she tripped across the side
walk to the carriage. AS the carriage
rolled away Hip Lung entered his
store, where q crowd of his countrymen
were playing dominoes. He walked
over TO where a teapot stood on table,
with little cup at It's side. lie gulped
down cup of the nectar and then
joined the group that stood round the
domino players. Little Fook Kim cried
| himself To sleep.
