A cHlNAMAN's FATE.
Declared Dead by a Society, He Was ra.
 booed and Killed Himself.

In San Francisco there's a Chinese secret society, the laws of which are as strict and unchanging as those of the Medes and Persians. One of the members of this society told some of It's secrets-an offense punishable by death. He was to be tried in the usual way before a tribunal of the society.
 The night of the ordeal was fixed. The eulprit was represented by able counsel, but the sentence was death as was expected. An executioner was called from an adjoining room. He was a strapping big Chinaman, and wore one of those hideous wooden masks that art critics think so beauti- fuI. He carried a double-edged sword fully five feet long. To test the edge he folded newspaper in eight parts, and the knife went through those eight thleknesses of paper as if it were a Dit of butter in summer time.
 The culprit was brought in upon his knees, and another Chinaman, also on his knees, faced him and caught the traitor by the cue. He drew the eul- prlts neck toward him, the smock was pulled over the shoulders, and with one mighty swing the double-edged sword descended. Like flash it elove the air and then stopped. A fractional part of an inch separated the sword from the victims neck. Very, very gently the eXecutioner brought the weapon down until it just touched the traitors neck. Then, as it is q crime to kill man in San Francisco, he stop ped. He brought the sword to his side again, turned to the jugdes and said: '"The culprit is dead"
 The newly executed got on his feet and said something to the judge The judge did not heed for the eulprit was dead. He tried to speak to the Chinamen, who were hurrying from the hall But he spoke to deaf ears. To all intents and purpose he was q dead man.
 He made his way into the street. and the first thing that caught his eye was hugh poster proclaiming to all Chinatown that he had been executed that evening. No one would speak to him, no one look at him-he was dead man-just as dead as if the exc cutioner's sword had in reality de. seended
 For whole week that man wan- dered about Chinatown the posters proclaiming his execution staring him in the face at every turn. Not a crust of bread could he beg-not mouth ful of water. His people knew him as dead-he was past, gone, buried
 And so one day he wandered up into the American portion of San Fran cisco and stole revolver from mes senger boy, who was showing it to some companions. Then he ran down into Chinatown, sat down on the pave ment beneath one of his own death notices and blew the added brains ou1 of his poor Chinese head.
