 Such a tiny bit of land it was on! But his father worked so hard there was always some rice for little Lin See to- eat.
 He played and was happy until dreadful sickness came, and his father and mother were taken away dead.
 Then Sing Doon said Lin See be- longed to him, and carried him off to a great town.
 Here the small boy used to cry, some times he was so hungry.
 After a while they went on board big ship, which began to move swiftly and he felt so badly that he thought the dreadful sickness had come to h1m like to his father and mother. He did not much care if he could only get away from Doom
 He lay huddled up in a dark corner full of misery, while the great vessel plowed its way across the wide sea. They stopped at last, and the poor, homestick Chinese boy was roughly hustled on shore. The ground seemed to rise up before him, and there were so many white people that he thought this must be their country. Oh, he was so afraid. He felt better when they reached Chinatown. but they did not stay there long.
 One night Doon woke him out of his
 
 water again.
 How Lin See hoped that Doom was as frightened as he at this strange place and that they were going back home again.
 They got into a small sailboat and went out fast, as if somebody would stop them. 4 white man seemed to be taking them. It was dreadful to little Lin. They tossed about so on the dark waves that he expected every minute to go to the bottom. After a long time he went to sleep, and when he awoke the boat was almost to the shore.
 They landed in a rough, wild place and the boat went away and left them alone. They hid behind the rocks and waited. By and by another Chinaman came, and they began to walk, the stranger showing the way. At last, when Lin Sees feet were so tired they would hardly move, they reached a town. Lin could not understand that this was another country from where they first landed, and that his long journey was over at last That was how little Lin See was smuggled into the United States.
 He soon knew that he must work and make a great deal of money for DOon. He was more frightened than ever when he found he must live with white people, to learn to talk and cook. It was to Mrs. Martha RobinsOn'S farm that Lin See was sent.
 He soon found that nobody hurt him He had plenty to eat and not much tU do. He learned to wash dishes ana fix vegetables. He slept in a small room off the porch, and Mrs. Robinson. came and put the light out herself af- ter he was in bed. He was happier than he had been since his father ano mother died. Everybody made great deal of him and laughed at his queer English.
 One day Mrs. Robinson's nephew came to visit her. He rode a beauti- ful black horse, which came prancing post. Lin See was out in the garden chasing butterflies. His eyes shone when he saw the spirited animal. He ran out crying, Me go, me gO."
 Joe Sterne's eyes twinkled. All right, Lin See" he said.
 The little fellow climbed up on the horse, but Beauty had no intention of being ridden by any one but her mas ter, and with a great flourish of heels sent Lin See over her head into the dust
 For several minutes he laid there, a fOrlorn figure, his stiff white blouse covered with dirt.
 Aunt Martha ran out crying, "Oh, my China boy, my China boy! How could you, Joe?"
 She bent over to raise him, but Lin See suddenly got up. He looked at the still prancing horse and began rubbing his arm up and down many times
 NO good. no good; him no good" he said, and making no reply to his mis- tresS' anxious questioning marched off
