Mo-" said Fang Fang Ho. you lie.''
 ''Yeh," responded Wing Since, ito China"
 "No." missed Fang Eio; .-eat this" it was small, round pellet Wing Since trembled, but he took 1t Up to this time he had had hope. Esut now hope. forsook him-the doom of Unrest was upon him. He knew that he could not escape. The eye of Fang Ho-of the Big Six Tong. was upon him.
 Swallow it." commanded Fang Ho. He obeyed. And then, without warning, lit- tic Wing Since. with desparing vail, sprang away from the two men, leaped upon the taffrail, and jumped into the great black water undernath the boat. Then there was a commotion. Other men, one here and one there. had seen the leap. Fang Ho and Wou Sang crept inside a cabin and took a seat They were un- disturbed. The people outside shouted "we know nothing. of it," said Fang Ho, to inquirers. we saw nothing" To Wou Sing he said: t'If the wet does not drown him the pill will kill him. It Is well.'
 When the ferry. people handed to the hospital surgeon the wet, limp form of Wing shee the surgeon laughed. "Sui- eide. eh," he, said: queer thing. He's the arst chink who ever tried 1t In this coun- try. At least to my knowledge. And he won't die. We'll pull him around"
 They did pull him around. In an hour Wing Since had revived But he was so unnerved that they had to keep him at the hospital for while, They said they would let him go in the morning. He nodded somewhat drowsily. Al light" he said. He fell asleep. did Wing Shee and woke from time to time. with starts and %wxyffn ntA- l.av Y,11. H~a he thought the Big Six were at his heels In the morning he was dead. By George" said the surgeon. he holds the record. He's the only Chinese suicide all right over here." Tn due time they bundled Wing Since into a pine box, and 1t so happened that the god of Unrest. in the shape of few drinks. presided over the man who screwed down the lid, to such an extent that he did not screw it down. Off drove the cart and Wing Shee's bones rattled so much inside of the box that suddenly, from being dead, he came to life. The deadening effect of that pill had worn away. Wing Shee, much to his surprise. found himself much cramped., He pushed and the lid fell off. He sat up and looked about. He was travelling through a lonely street. The driver had his eye upon a far distant saloon. Wing Since put one leg over the side of the box, then another: then he cautiously and stiffiy jumped to the street below and disappeared.
 Over in New York the yellow journals were tell about the "Only Chinese suicide Wing Since Jumps to Certain Death" For the report of his demise had gone out from the hospital
 One evening about dusk, the great Fang Ho was gliding down the street toward the home of little Yo King. He placed his hand upon the door knob, when suddenly, out of the gloom, a weird figure stepped and placed his hand upon Fang Hos arm. Fang Ho gave one look, and then fled strieking up the street once more.
 "Hi ki,' he walled. shaking with ap- prehension, Xxi vi hi.' He had seen a ghost-the ghost of the young Wing Since. The ghost of Wing Since was not dis turbed; 1t laughed gently in it's oriental way and then stepped into To Kings home. Inside was the sound of weeping. It was the diminutive Yo King mourn
 ing for the death of the young Wing Since. Wing Since looked into a room. | She was alone. He glided fin, placed a
 very material arm about her and raised
 her head. She gave one startled glance
 and would have cried out but for the fact | that Wing Since was stufing a paper | napkin Tn her mouth. Come, little YC
 King" he whispered, 'T am alive and moi
 dead. Come-come with me-" And they
 disappeared into the night
 The yellow Journals. which heralded the
 first Chinese suicide, now proclaimed
 what seemed to be a second one. Fol
 little Yo King went and she never came
 back. Where Is she now? No one
 knows. But Mrs. Wing Since. the dimin.
 utive, may possibly be able to tell.
