she went to the josshouse alone with
an offering of two grimy little wooden
birds and a dish of papier mache
ducks that See had brought her one
day.
She climbed the dusty stairs labori-
ously, and the door was open into
the main room of the josshouse (Which
is the Chinese temple), and she en-
tered undismayed to consult the man
who presides there.
She found him in, seated upon his
cross legs and smiling kindly at her.
'How do you do?" said Sum See in
English.
The joss smiled harder than ever,
which was natural, as he was made
all of wood and painted dark brown.
She was so interested in the prayer
over the place where they burned the
offerings that she did not notice the
Chinaman come in, looked around the
room to see if there were any at the
shrine, and who then went out and
shut the door and locked it.
1t was the close of the great Offering
week, and the shrine room that AL
mond Blossom was in was not to be
opened for several days.
"Tell me-" she said to the Joss, II
wish to go to the Land of Ceaseless
Shine and Diamond Stars-do you
know the way?"
The kindly Joss only smiled, of
course.
"Ah, you are dumb" said Sum.
"Poor thing! I have neighbor boy,
a dwarf, who is deaf and dumb. You
are like him"
Again the Joss smiled happily, so
| Sum knew that she had not offended
him.
| Presently she went over to the door
by which she had come in and found
it locked. She had, indeed, started on
the way to the Land Of Silver Shad-
ows, and there was no turning back.
1t was pleasant at first, for there
were the dolls on the shrine-the less
er gods-and Sum could play with
them without fear, because of the
smile of the main functionary.
Sum noticed aItef SeVeral nOurS CWo
things-namely: That their room
had not got beyond the chimney pots,
and that she was hungry.
She had had small bowl of rice and
pork that noon in her own home, but
now it was getting dark outside, and
she knew that they were getting into
the Land of Silver Shades and Star
Beams.
So she sat still and wondered why
she could not get out and what she
should eat for dinner. And then she
went around and consulted the Joss.
There he sat. as II made of chocolate
creams. and smiled. Below him was a
covered board. and Almond Blossom
lifted the end Of the cloth that was

FISHING IN POLYNESIA.
Natives Catch the Finny Tribes With
Wooden Fishhooks.

Natives Catch the Finny Tribes With
Wooden Fishhooks.
A party of palu fishers are ready to
set out from the little island of Nano-
maga, the smallest, but most thickly
populated of the Ellice group, says
Chambers Journal. The night must
be MINDLESS and moonless, the latter
condition being absolutely indispens-
able, although, curiously enough, the
fish will take the hook on an ordinary
starlight night. Time after time have
l tried my luck with either growing
or waning moon, much to the amuse-
ment of the natives, and never once
did l get palu, although other noe
turnal feeding fish bit freely enough,
notably monstrous species of sea
perch, called laheu. The tackle used
by the natives is made of cocoanut
sennit, four or eight stranded, of great
strength, and capable of holding fif-
teen-foot shark, should one of these
providers seize the bait. The hook is
made Of wood-in fact, the same as is
used for shark flshing-about one inch
and half in diameter, fourteen inches
in the shank, with natural curve, the
barb, or rather that which answers
the purpose of barb, being supplied
by small piece lashed horizontally
across the top of the end of the curve.

She knew then that she was in

the brown man and. ate .ravenously.
The night passed by, Almond Bios
som sleeping profoundly in the robes
of the Exalted Few, and then, replac-
ing them in the morning, she began
another day of weary waiting for the
opening of the temple. door.
AT Almond Blossoms home you can
understand the excitement. They
mourned her as dead, and Thought the
angry devils had spirited her away.
They gave up searching for her after
awhile, and when the fourth day came
her tea sets and wooden dolls were put
away, and the family shrine lit with
seven tapers, for her years.
When the fifth day came they had
found her there when the josshouse
was opened for airing and worship of
the smiling man who sat there.
They would have been Mortified at
the familiarity OF sum see Win MS
Greatness if they could have known,
but she said nothing, of her: conclaves
with the Ruler of the Destinies of the
Faithful Followers, and as she looked
fat and we'll they said nothing"
The food for the departed spirit had
disappeared, and it was. we'll that the
religious miracle should be told Of.
They did not know that Sum See had
eaten it all, and that she had burned
the leavings in pan in the oven
where she had first seen the cat.
Her restoration to her. fond family
was taken as another part of the mir:
acle, and no questions were asked, and
Almond Blossom did not 'explain:-

SONS. It is. in February, and: that in
the part of the world that Sum Sees
mother came from.
Therefore, when little Miss Sum See
was born they called her. Almond Bios
som, with true Chinese symbolism.
The fact that she was born in Pell
street, New York City, was nothing
against her name. Only she never
would remind you of an almond bios
som. Rather of a yellow crocus, or,
say, a Black Eyed Susan.
When Sum See was years old she
lost her mother, and they took her
away where Sum See could not follow.
That was how she came to ask Hip
Sing how to reach her.
Hush!" said Hip Sing, bending over
his shoe mending, "that is not for you
to ask. She has sped away to the
Land of Silver Shadows, Perpetual
Sunbeams, and where it ovefflows with
tea"
This sounded benefcent, but was un-
satisfactory from Typographical
point of view.
Have they taken her, to the joss
house?" asked Sum See quietly.
We'll, not exactly" answered Hip
Sing, "but there sits he who knows. -
Sum had staid late to talk to the
man who soles shoes, and she looked
at him refectively under her thread
like brows.
"Yes?" she said, calmly.
Sum See folded her small, tea-col-
ored claws and leaned against the wall
of the house. The two queues, braid
ed fantastically with blue and white
cord, looked funny, standing out from
her little round head in an inquiring
state of mind.
