LOST HALF HIS SOUL.
The Buddhist Priest Was Terror-Strickeu
by His Portrait.

by His Portrait.
Crowds of people assembled as we
arrived at the inn, just before sunset,
and among others l spotted the fine
head of an old Buddhist priest. After
of cash, which passed from my pockets
into his hands, was able to induce
him to sit for his picture, and dashed
off sketch in oils before he had time
to change his mind. Unfortunately the
large crowd that had gathered around,
especially the women folks, seemed to
scold him and talk angrily at him for
his Stiffness in sitting, owing to the
strange notion that prevails in China
and, in fact, nearly all over the east,
that if an image is reproduced soul
has 20 be given to it, and that the per
son portrayed has to be the supplier
of it at his own expense. The vener-
able old Buddhist priest, who was
nursing his leash" on his lap while
being immortalized on wooden panel,
and had a curious twinkle in his eye,
resisted bravely for some time and
sat like statue, but finally had to
give in.
"You will die," cried an old woman
at him. 81 saw your soul coming out
of you and go into the picture. did,
really, saw it with my own eyes"
$50 did L." cried hundred other
voices in chorus.
BY the time the priest had got up
they had half convinced him that at
least half his soul had really gone out
of him; but had the soul gone or not,
he would go and take the cash
for safe keeping to his home first and
complain and ask for the restitution of
his lost property 'afterward. He was
sensible man. So was 1, and knowing
what was coming, the moment he had
gone went into the room and packed
the sketch safely, then took another
clean panel and smeared it with the
scrapings of my palette to show him
instead in case he would come back and
wish the picture destroyed. Twenty
minutes had not elapsed when he was
back again, of course without the
cash" holding his stomach and COM
planning of internal agonies.
81 am going to die" he cried, the
moment he saw me; ''you have taken
away half my soul!"
Certainly / have" said I, sterlily.
"You did not expect me to give you all
that cash for less than half your soul,
did you?"
"Oh, no! but wish it back, as I feel
so bad now without it,"
"All right" said l. 81 shall go into
the room and destroy the image did
Of you. VIII you then be satisfed?"
"Yes."
Here the other panel smeared with
palette scrapiags was produced, after
making pretense at destroying it with
knife, and never in my life have I
seen an expression Of relief to equal
that of the priest. He had not felt half
his soul SO much going out of him, but
he certainly felt it coming back again.
He could swear by it. He was now
perfectly well again.-Fortnightly Re-
