Kim Pow VS.. zee Yen. In considera-
ton of his rank, a yellow surtout en-
bellished in plum borders was put upon
his back, and settling among profus-
ion of rather dirty pillows in the sec

| house, he prepared to hold a reception.
Kim Poy, the neer-do-well, curled up
! on the bed beside the consul and dex-
trously twirled the dope on a thin
steel needle. When it was of the proper
consistency he proffered the bamboo
pipe to his excellency and the consul
absorbed the little Sleep
He was in a laxative mood when a
Herald man was led into the place by
Wing Dun, the Chinese interpreter
zee Sing was also in his element, and
he did not hesitate to impress his WISH
tor with that idea.

he. Little Pete, he Sam Yup. Trouble

out his hide. You got fine city here,
huh?"
By this time the dingy suffocating
apartment was choked with opium
fumes and Chinese who had come to
pay their respects. The cold-blooded
nonchalance with which the consul
discussed highbinders, beheadings and
other unpleasant things made the sit
