Chinan1an Scared to Death.
Weird Imitation of the Yup Ts Too Much For the Mandarin
Chung WI Ii, Prosecutor of the Medical Students
of the Imperial College of Picking.

The New Orleans Picayune publishes
the following remarkable tale related
by DR.. Gee Wung Pong, a prominent
New Orleans Chinaman who recently
returned to the Flowery Kingdom to
81 I'd his declining years near the
g: V G of his ancestors:
+. Gee as a very young man was
sent from his native city of Nankin to
study medicine under the learned Nyng
Gum Chang at the Imperial college of
Picking. He had been in the institution
but a short time when he was initiated
into the Yup III circle. The Yup III
circle, while being composed most ex-
clusively OF students, was not on the
order of the Greek letter f%raternities
of American colleges, but partook of
the nature of a revolutionary clique.
The mandarin of the Eighth City. as
the district where the medical COLLEGE
was located was known, was generally
detested by the students, owing to the
officials ZealousneSS in having broker
up a previous circle at the university
and sending a number of members TO
Execution square, and the Yup lis de-
termined to liidnap the mandarin and
give him the scare of his life. They
never at any time intended TO murder
the man or even inlict upon him bodily
injury, but they wanted to brighten
him away down deep in his craven soul
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1909-02-04

and give him such a display of their
power and might that he would leave
them alone in the future.
The Yup lis held their meetings in
a dilapidated temple which stood close
to the wall in a mean, though thinly,
| populated part of the outer city.
1t was arranged to kidnap Chung
| WI Li-that was the mandarin's name
and convey him blindfolded to the
temple and there complete the bust
ness. Gee Wung Pong and three other
| young men were assigned to the diff
ficult task of catching the mandarin.
Pong knew Chung WI Lii to be II
Of the vainest men in all Picking, Il
man who prided himself upon being
irresistible with the fair sex, and play
| ed upon this trait of the luckless man
darin'S character to work his ruin.

places. Pong prepared a fake note pur-
| porting to have been written by q
| charming young Chinese girl whom
| the mandarin was supposed to know.
The note asked the mandarin to come
to aer window that night. His excel
lency, receiving the missive from the
hand of a cody, suspected nothing.
When he got to the window appoint
ed Pong and his friends were waiting,
and they promptly bonneted the

quently to puzzle him as to locality,
and in about an hour they reached the
dilapidated temple, lifted their prison
err off his feet and carried him up the
steps, through the long, deserted aisles
Of the main building and down into
an underground crypt, where the re-
naming ~forty-six members of the Yup
III were waiting. The Yups all wore
yellow robes, and their faces were hid
den behind masks, and the bound and
shivering mandarin was placed in the
center of the room On the hard stone
floor.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1909-02-04

When all was in readiness the sack
was taken from Lis head, and the
mandarin looked upon a scene which
sent the blood from his heart. The
long, narrow crypt was poorly lighted
with pine torches set in inches, and
lined against the stone walls on either
side of him were terrible figures, all in
yellow and wearing awful looking
masks. On a raised dais at ono end
of the apartment stood a tall mar in
q red gown with a deaths mask on his
face and in his hand a long spear. But
the most fearsome sight of all was
the hooded, muflied figure which stood
before the dais with bare arms and
holding q thin silken cord in it's hands.
"The tormcntor is here" cried the
man in red from the dais; 1.-THE enemy
of the young men of the Yup III!
What is your will, o children?'
\ hollow chorus answered as all the
yellow robes extended a right arm,
Let him sup With Ting Shung of the
Crooked Teeth"
The gag had been taken from Lis
mouth, and the poor fellow, hearing
that he was TO he sent to sup With the

cestors that he would ever consider the
young men seeking knowledge. as the
students are termed in China, worthy
and honorable and that he would en-
deavor to unearth no more plots in
which they figured.
But his pleadings were in vain, as
the red man cried in solemn tones:
"The baseborn must die! His spirit
is cold! 1t wants the warmth of Ping
Nang's fires! Caress him with the
cord!' The screaming Ii was again
seized by several of the most power
full of the company, and despite his
desperate struggles he was forced to
his knees before the dais. The man
with bare arms sprang forward and
deXterously threw the core about the
fat, swelling neck, but before he could
give it the first twist the presiding Of
fcer, approaching that the joke had
gone far enough, called to him to de.

he said, addressing the bowed figure,
which had suddenly ceased to struggle.
Release him, brothers,

from LIS shoulder, but Ii, instead of
arising to his feet, pitched forward on
his face and lay m%otionless. Excessive
fright had killed him. Doubtless the
very moment when he felt the execu-
toners cord on his neck he yielded up
the ghost in that last terrible cry.
The students We're in q desperate fix.
They placed the silken cord. twisted
and knotted, around Lis throat, left
the body lying in the center Of the
floor, removed all signs of their orders
from the dais and walls and then silent
ly retired.
The authorities found Lis body a
week later. The silken cord, they
thought, told the story; the official had
been decoyed to the place by his enc
mics n murdered. But there was no
trace to the murderers, and the case
was for Years a mystery. All the stu
dents took their degrees and scattered
throughout the empire. Several years
later one of them, having been con-
verified to Christianity, on his deathbed
told of how Chung WI Ii had come to
his end.
Recently the dowager chose to issue G
special edict pardoning the offense.
That is why DR.. Gee Wung Pong may
now safely return to China.
