CHAPTER II.
AN EYENTFuL yoYAGE

AN Et VO1AiE.
The last stroke of 12 was just boom
ing out On the muggy night when /
stepped on to the landing stage to await
my mysterious employer. The hotel
servant who had carried my bag put it
down and, having received his gratuity,
left me.
Suddenly the patter Of naked feet be-
hind me caught my ear. A Chinese
chair borne by two stalwaft bearers
was approaching. Very naturally set
tied it in my own mind that it con-
tanned the man whom 1 was to meet
and turned to receive him. But when
the conveyance was set down it was not
the respectable Englishman I had seen
before who stepped out of it, but port
ly Chinaman of considerable rank and
dignity. He was gorgeously clad in fig
ured silk. His pigtail reached half way
to his heels and was adorned with much
ornamentation, and l noticed that he
wore large tortoise she'll spectacles
which, while they completely hid his
eyes, gave a curious effect to his other
wise not unhandsome countenance.
Having descended from his equipage,
he dismissed his bearers and began to
stump solemnly up and down the land
ing stage, drawing closer and closer to
me at every turn. Presently he sum-
moned up courage enough to accost me-
To my surprise he said:
"What for you come here one piece
look see?''
Mot hoincy o6oof OF mir
lish, l simply answered:
"I'm afraid l don It understand you. -
"What for you come here look see?'
"I'm waiting for friend. -
"Your friend alice same Englees-
man?''
Eyes, believe he's an Englishman. -
"You go way look see chop chop?''

own affair, think. !"
"Allee same smalleepoxee, think. :"
You may think what you please"
"S'posing you say smalleepoxee, alice

"I'm afraid can't continue this con-
versation. Good evening"
/ turned on my heel and was about
to leave him when he stopped me by
saying i'll excellent English:
'Thank you, DR.. De Normanville
I'm quite satisfied.
Good gracious! What's all this?"
why, it means that have been try
ing you; that's all. Forgive the decep-
ton, but the Importance of our mission
must be my excuse. Now we must be
going. Here is the boat.
AS he spoke a large sampan shot out
from among it's companions and came
swiftly toward the wharf.
1.-TWO cautions before we embark
the first, remember that / am a China
man and speak only pigeon English
the second, if you are armed, be care
full of your revolver. The men who
work the junk we are going down to
meet are not to be trusted, hence my
disguise.
He left me and descended the steps.
The sampaD by this time had come
| alongside. A woman was rowing, and
a vigorous conversation in Chinese en-
sued. When it was finished, my COM
panion beckoned to me, and picking up
| my bag went down to him. Next mo-
ment was aboard and stuffed away in
the little poky rathole of cabin
amidships. My friend took his place be-
side me, q small boy took the helm,
and we pushed off. Not word was
spoken, and in this fashion for nearly
