old times had returned. Even the
sleepy old grandfather Chinese sat con-
tentedly i'm front of the stores, bare
footed and smoking their water pipes
and cacl<llng joyfully to one another.
1t was Monday night, the night wher
there was much money to be won and
lost, and everyone was abroad except
the officers. In all the length or breadth
Of the city there was no guardian of the
law to be seen.
West on Apablasa street and under
the grinning dragons of the silk Ian
terms over the shop windows the visi-
tors went and the rattle of the gamb-
ling apparatus became louder and
louder. On the south side of the street
the voices of the fan tan dealers be-
came insistent and the shiftless celes.
tials in the street listened and laughed
as man won or man lost.
In one place a single gambler of the
Los Angeles China quarter won $4,000 al
his table within an hours time, and the
men who lost simply left and said
nothing.
What could they say? The high.
binders had returned and they feared
the unknown.

with the rattle Of the fan tan buttons,
the hoarse call of the announcers and
the harsh arguing of the players as
with eyes shining with excitement they
leaned far over the tables and bet their
money with wanton daring, Chinatown,
the Chinatown of old when the high
binders and lawless class held full
sway, burst forth in a garing mass of
tinkling glory last night in a way
which made the good government resi-
dents Of the section weep with chagrin.
The doors We're open wide, the look
outs snoozed on their stools and paid
little attention to the approach of
pedestrians, while the hot, slckenlng air
of the cramped quarters and shuffling,
sweating yellow men, swearing aloud In
their excitem ent, caused the few tour
lists who visited the place to leave.
1t was a condition such as San Fran
cisco knew when the games were wide
open and without fear. Chinese women
stood In the doorways of crib houses on
Apablasa street and called to the men
of all nations who paraded the narrow
streets. From the balconies above the
women waved their welcome to inter-

Old Times Have Returned
Down through Ferguson alley where
the lights burn low and where the
sweet odor of the burning punk in the
Gong Jue temple causes all ceIestials to
halt and worship there, the low click
of the fan tan buttons could be heard
as the light fingered dealer drew them
from the pile and separated them into
little heaps of fours. Although at al
most every doorway in the alley the
guards could be seen at the doorways,
little attempt at concealment was made.
Down through the alley went two
visitors and a guide. Turning north at
Alameda street the stores were for the
most part of a respectable character.
On to the entrance Of Chinatown at
Marchessault street and still no sign of
the gambling games A turn, a dozen
steps across a narrow, dirty street and
the visitors were hurried into a mar
rover alleyway. Hugging close to the
brick walls the strangers listened and
the low soft voices of the celestials as
