In other words, Shakespeare No. 2
was a Chinaman.
Ny informant, Hung Kinsue,
agreed to conduct me to the apart
ment of the wonderful Lee Wah,
who, he said, was the literary won
der of the age.
But" l ventured, what habits
did this Lee Wah have to force his
brain to do such mighty work along
unbeaten paths?"
Several methods were en-
ployed." responded Hung Kinsue.
He would sometimes write with
his feet in ice water. Sometimes he
would smoke strong tobacco. Then
again he would drink intoxicants.
Sometimes he resorted to drugs. He
told me the other day, however,
that he had a new process which
was better than all the others, but
he wouldn't tell me what it was.
We will go to his rooms and take
him unaware and find out"
l accepted the invitation, and,
after a devious course, accom-
panied the Chinaman to the top
floor of an old tenement. The
rickety steps creaked beneath our
tread as We assembled. Then, as
directed, l crouched before the key
hole and a sight which | shall never
forget met my gaze.
On revolving platform in the
center of the room lay the famous
Lee Wah. The turntable was oper-
ated by motor power and was re-
volving rapidly The writer lay with
his feet at the center and his head
toward the circumference. AS the
wheel sped around his pigtail stood
almost taut. His eyes were closed
to prevent dizziness and a cold
water bandage was wrapped about
his head. He had certainly found a
unique method of throwing the
blood to his brain and forcing
thought. Then gradually the ma
chine stopped and Lee Wah rushed
to a desk in the corner of the room
and jotted down the plot of his next
story.

The foot wall is just the floor of

A crosscut runs to tap the vein
From a point that's picked as

A drift is a tunnel that follows the

Not down. but in on the level;
A slopes a hole where ore Is
mined.
Now, don't that beat the devil?
A winze Is sort of shaft, you see.
That starts from level below;
And why they picked that name

Vitality, then, is something

make more?
In the first place, get proper food

much, not too often. Many people
are kept weak because they eat

or eat more than their bodies can
digest. So, in order to make more

pronounced earmarks of a genius,
such as he described, in all my
reading
One evening I went for my laun-
dry In a room to the rear of the
shop were a number of Cinnamon.
One of their number was reading
from a Chinese newspaper, while
the rest of the Celestials sat about
him smoking their pipes. The read
ing in the room in the rear ceased
and round of spirited applause
followed. Then as one of the China
men came to deliver my bundle and
hand me my change I asked him
what had been found in the Chinese
paper to call forth such demonstra-
ton. AS my informant could speak
English he told me that 1t was a
Chinese story, and that one of the
stories appeared each week in their
paper Upon being pressed he told
me that the writer of the stories
was a close friend of his and had
once workep in the same laundry,
but that he was very impractical
and often .steed with a far away
look in his eyes, seeing things
which no other could see, and be-

I've been thinking about the oysters
we used to have down at the coast.
Do you remember how good they used
to taste.
Well, ! had some over at Jim's
restaurant this noon that looked 80
good they fairly made my mouth wa
ter. And they tasted as If they had
just been taken right out of the ocean
and shucked on to my plate. You
know that taste of the shell. And
firm and juicy, and with a delicious
flavor of the sea that would make
dying man sit up and ask for more.
Jim told me they we're Sealship.
Ever hear of them? Well, by Jimmy,
they are the best thing I've tasted in
a year; as full of favor as those we
used to get down on the Sound.
When | saw the way they are pack
ed I could understand why they were
so superior. They are shucked right
into a porcelain case and sealed.
That's what does the business. Then
ice is packed on the outside SO that
they are kept at the temperature of
the ocean. You see, they are practi-
cally shell oysters.
Just try them once and you'll be as
enthusiastic as l am.
