a bright-eyed mulatto girl and there was
every prospect Of an early wedding in China

"Glo black and see the bloys," suggested
QuoDg. the proprietor, and acting upon the
suggestion Policeman Newkirk led the way
through the rear storeroom to an open and
dimly-lighted court. On its south side was a
tortuous, creaky flight Of stairs which
brought the party to two large rooms on the
second floor of the rear building. As the
door was reached the surrounding atmos-
phere was found to be impregnated with a
peculiar and almost s:ckening odor.
"0pium smoke" remarked the patrolman,
and the blush fumes Of the drug could be
seen oozing through the creylces OF the door
and mingling with variety OF other odors
which filed the court. A tap on the door

On the north side of the room were Il noisy
quartette of Cinnamon seated about a round
table playing a peculiar game of dominoes
and smoking tobacco pipes, The dominoes
were played with their faces down ward, and
each time player won the others set up a
hearty ''yi-yi'' OF laughter. In the rear room,
besides the smokers hunks, was q fan-tan

operation, and the paraphernalia connected
with a Chinese lottery scheme, which is
PLAYED with cards and a wheel and resembles
somewhat the game OF keno.

J. B. Cook, who lives at Second and

expert on fowls, and allows none but the
very best around his premises. The buff
Zochins weigh the most OF almost any in
these parts his bantams are smaller and
can strut longer than those owned by
other fancier. while the games are the
fiercest and grittiest of any birds on the
market. Nor are these the only breeds
that he handles. There are white Log
horns. cleaner than the lilies of the field,
and Plymouth Rocks that look as though
they had been Matched on the original rock
