than to serve in heaven, or one's native land
 To all of which poor Fay Lee had to consent, of course, Sing Low being a husband of no small persuasive power, particularly when aided with a bamboo stick. And he hesitated not to chastise the wife of his bosom when occasion needed, for did not even the laws of the Christians say: Wives. obey your hus- bands in the Lord? Not that it often became necessary to impress this latter fact upon Fay Lee for she loved the fat, pompous Sing Low now, in the midst of his prosperity, even as she had once loved humble Sing Low of the rice fields. It is the way of many women And, though there were few friends. and no children for her, to caress with affec- ton, she was content to live the life that her husband bade, embroidering his costly garments and waiting on him as though she were his bonded slave instead of his wife. And during the long hours that he spent in the opium house or in the secret lodge of the Sons of the Silver Land" she consoled her self with many cups of tea and admir- ing thoughts of the brave figure that her honorable lord" was at that mo- ment of surety making as the head of hie society. Poor Fay Lee!
 I say 'poor Fay Lee" with purpose, as you will find. For even as the best laid plans of mice and men go astray, so did the plans and hopes of Sing Low and his wife vanish into naught- through the fault of the man, of course, T t4 ,+1 ,.I~o fell in love one bright day It is a thing that Celestials are not given to, for which reason Sing Low made bad mess of it, and loved far more desper- ately than any other Chinaman on re- cord-at least, so his signing protests to the lady in the case ran Not that he could be blamed overmuch, for Felipia was the prettiest girl, out and out, who had ever been see in Madre de Dios-as we'll as one of the naughti- est. Her brother Ca gambler from Mazatlan) had used her many months as a lure, and more than one hapless Mexican had come to grief for her sake, but Sing Low was the best game that she had ever caught.
 There is in Spanish proverb setting forth the same sentiment expressed in our own There's no fool like an old fool, and never was there an old fool so deeply in love ae Sing Low, who soon became the laughing stock of the entire very mixed population of Madre de Dios. Fay Lee, of course knew nothing, and supposed that her lords frequent absences were due to secret society meetings To be sure, An Toy the sprightly young wife of Sam Lung, had considered it her duty to go to the de- ceived and neglected, wife with full description of the doings and misdoings of the faithless one.

The Plaintiff Claims That Her Late
 Husband Was New Yorker-0ther
 Allegations.
 New York; Dec. 3.-Margaret J.. Plant, widow of Henry B. Plant, the railroad president, has begun an action in the supreme court, Individuality and as trustee of her husbands estate, against ex-Judge Lynde Harrison, Mor- ton Freeman Plant, George H. Tilley, Robert c. Erwin, individually and as trustees of the will, and Henry B. Plant, in which. she asks that a re- ceiver for certain property of her late husband be appointed and that the courts of this state take entire charge of the estate pending a settlement of the suit. Mrs. Plant further asks that the will and codicils, as far as they are consistent with the laws of this state, be upheld; that the defendants be re- quired to bring back into the jurisdic- ton of the New York courts all securi- ties and property removed to the state of Connecticut, and that all proceedings in connection with the probating of the will in Connecticut be declared null and void. Yesterdays New York Tribune says on the subject:
 MT. Plant was several times a mil lionaire, and was the principal owner of the Plant railroad system, He died last June, leaving a will and three codicils. It is the last codicil to the will, exc cuted three days before his death that forms the basis of the legal proceedings,
