Rufus Choate. Rufus has boon part OF the
household Of Casa Todos since before there
was either Casa or Todos. He was carving
boxes OF tent pins and barrack slippers from
the casco at the wharf in Cavite one day up to
tho Quartermaster's storehouse. and he got
tired. SO no Tut on his blue specified. red
striped yellow juci camisa and came up into
my room and announced that he was my nu-
chdcho. Valentine Ruiz. the boss stevedore.
who had been affecting to serve in that ca
pacity for a few days. but who never did any
thing but me. had received his dishonorable
discharge two days before. and had occupied
the interval in sitting on the stairway. smiling
good-naturedly. and talking Tagalog to all
applicants for his place. with the result that
they left Immediately and never came back.
Observing this. 1 had just kicked Valentine
deity downstairs and threatened to use him
for shark bait II he ever came back when
Rufus Choate appeared. The effect Of his OBJ
servation OF this somewhat violent perform
ance seemed to put Rufus In . proper mood.
for he left his slippers on the bottom step and
came in barefooted as q well-trained and re-
spectful muohdcho should. Moreover. not bav-
ing had opportunity to talk with Valentine he
was not more than 100 per cent. above the Or
binary market price Of such labor In his de-
mand for pay. In addition to these distinct
qualifications. he knows half u dozen phrases
OF pidgin English and does not sport an inch
or two Of surplus nail on his fingers. His
teeth. too. are not stained with botel nut.
Considering these things, l bought Rufus
Choate for q modest sum. and thereby became
possessed OF u family OF several pickaninnies.
