Yet Wing was presently throwing
great JUNCTION into:
"Ala-a-at an did, my tlavileed,
An did my slovel die?
Would he lelote lat sacled head
Fo' sluch a wollas 1?
Atte Gloss, attic Gloss, wha'ee fuss saw
lelite-"
Yet Wing frowned nightly while
he sang, for this English was truly
a devilish language, and was not to
be sung without great enlargement
of the mouth.
1t was all gone through with, even
to the jerky concert of "Ou' Fader-
who aht-in-heben-" and Miss Har-
vey and her maid were hurrying
homeward through the rain. Miss
Harvey justly felt that she must con-
fide in some one or die.
1T has come about just as l
feared, Annie" she said, tragically.
my pupil has-has lost his mind, 1
suppose-and is half crazy about
about Me! Did you ever hear of any
thing so absolutely preposterous?
Think of it! "A Chinese laundry
man! Wouldn't my brother be furi-
ous?"
''Wen, faith, an it 'ud be a great
savin' of laundry bills" said Annie,
who was from up Belfast way, and
could see a bright side to everything.
Miss Harvey's just Indignation kept
her scornfully silent until they had
reached home and gone into the side
door. While Annie shook out the wet
umbrella and stood it in the rack,
Miss Harvey glanced out of the win
dow and suddenly screamed and sat
down, clasping her hands.
Look, Annie!" she cried; 'look
out of the window! Can that be
is that-Yet Wing?'
''It looks like the bilious heathen,"
said Annie, Indignantly, after hasty
inspection of the figure chat stood
pensively under an awning on the
opposite side of the street. "a pref
ty subject he is, to stand himself up
in front of peoples houses! Shall I
go out an shoe i'm away, Miss?'
"Oh, that would be too cruel!"
moaned Miss Harvey, walking up and
down and wringing her hands des-
perately. "Oh, what shall l do? Was
there ever anything so unfortunate?
! He may begin to follow me about
town-and perhaps sing under the
windows-he has a very good voice
but think how it would look. Oh,
how unfortunate I am, to have
perhaps if 1 had worn palmer
clothes to the Mission-but now the
! harm is done, and I will never for
give myself, never!"
"Well," suggested Annie, with an
eye at the crack of the curtain, "your
brother'll be home pretty soon, an
| it's my belief that he'll throw the
brassy heather over the courthouse.
An anyway, the neighbors are rails
in the windows. now"
Miss Harvey screamed.
"Oh, Annie" she cried, ego and call
him over and tell him that he must
not stand there, looking at the house
that way. Tell him that it troubles
me-Me-and then I know he'll 60"
Annie's trim figure disappeared;
and Yet Wings teacher heard a
sound of voices, which presently
grew louder. She listened. Annie
was saying with spirit:
''You just wait till get Mike Fin
ney a-holt O. you, you slantin'-eyed-"
And at this point Annie came back,
her face crimson.
| "Them that wants the Chinaman
can have him." she cried, indignant

like he meant to wait for the crack
O. doom, an if your brother comes
he'll think doom's cracked"
This horrible possibility decided
Miss Harvey. She pulled out the
pink vest, dabbed both eyes with a
little lace handkerchief, and went
droopingly to the door. Yet Wing
still sat enthroned on the steps,
placidly looking at the rain.
"Yet Wing" she murmured, weak
ly. Yet Wing arose and smiled

'Yet Wing, you must go away
whispered Miss Harvey. "You must
not come to my house any more. l
am very sorry sor you'll hope we
will be friends-I shall still teach
you, Yet Wing"
"You go alay!" retorted Yet Wing,
whom the gods had made mad. "Me
