And If you think I'm working up to a
Christian forgiveness racket you're
mistaken. I'm not. i don't forgive
you"
well, turn me over to your sheriff
and let's get through with this" said
| Newmark sullenly.
Orde rose.
Look here, Newmark. that's just
what I've been coming to, just what
I've had such hard time to get hold
Of I'm not going to hand you over

off. No." he continued. in response to

ment, 1T isn't from any fool notion Of

den my future life with you. That's
just plain, ordinary selfiShneSs. l sup
pose / really ought TO jug you, but If
do I'll always carry with me the
thought that I've taken 1t on myself
to judge a man. And l don't believe
any man is competent to judge an
other"
Newmark, who had listened to this
rambling exposition with curiosity,
broke into laugh.
you've convicted me-" he said.
I'm a most awful failure. / thought
l knew you, but this passes all be
lief"
Orde brushed this speech aside as ir-
relevant
Our association, OF course, comes to
an end. There remain the terms of
settlement. 1 could fire you out of this
without a cent, and you'd have TO git.
But that wouldn't be fair. L don't give
a hang for you, but it wouldn't be
fair to me. Now. as for the northern
peninsula timber. you have had sew
enty-five thousand out of that and have
lent me the same amount. Call that
quits. l will take up your note when
it comes due and destroy the one given
to Heinzman. For all your holdings in
our common business l will give you
my note without interest and without
time for 100000. That IS not its face
value nor anything like it, but you
have caused me directly and indirectly
considera BILE loss. / don't know how
soon l can pay this note. but it will be
paid"
''All right" agreed Newmark.
Does that satisfy you?'
81 suppose it's got to-
VERY well. l have the papers here
all made out. They need simply to be
signed and witnessed. Timbull is the
nearest notary. Come" said he.
In silence the two walked the block
and a half to the notary's house. FL
nally the papers were executed. In
the street Newmark paused significant
ly. but Orde did not take the hint
Are you coming with me?" asked
Newmark
Il am" replied orde There is one
thing more"
In silence once more they returned to
the shadowy low library. Newmark
threw himself into the armchair He
was once again the coldly calculating.
cynical observer. Orde turned to face
him.
You have five days to leave town"
he said crisply. Don't ever show up
here again. Let me have your address
for the payment of this note"
He took two steps forward.
you're a dirty, low lived skunk. If
you think you're going to get of scot
free you're nightly mistaken"
Newmark half arose.
what do you mean?' he asked in
some alarm.
81 mean that I'm going to give you
about the worst licking you ever heard
tell Of" replied Orde, buttoninS his
coat.
Five minutes later Orde emerged

CHINESE NAMES OF PLACES

CHINESE names of places often define their
- character. Thus, the terminal yang"
means fortress; Pingyang, the fortress of
-huang-cheng, the "Phenix walled city
Shan" is mountain. hal" the sea, "kuan 1"
a camp; thus, Shan-hai-kuan is the mountain
sea camp" A ling" is a mountain pass; Mo-
tien-ling, near Mukden, is the heaven scraping
pass"
The suffixes "tao' or to 3" indicate islands
"po" or pho" a harbor: wan" a bay;
"kiang" and "ho," river; "kow," a port
"fu," a first class city; "ju," a provincial
capital Pei" is north, man is South, king -
is capital. These sufixes help to explain such
familiar names in these DAYS as San-shan-tao,
Chemulpo, Ta-lien-wan, Yang tze-kiang Hoang-
no, Yinkow, Chi-fu, An-ju, Picking, and Nan
king.
The name "Manchuria, to designate the
country of the ManchuS is not known to the
Chinese, but was invented by French geograph-
ers. The Manchus are tribe of Tartars who
gained the ascendency in China in the seven
teenth century. Manchu is Chinese for pure -
and was applied by an ancestor of Shun-che,
the first Manchu Emperor of China, to his
dynasty and his people.
The Manchus resemble the Chinese only to
the eve of a stranger, just we think that all
Chinese laundrymen look alike. To them
selves the Manchus are distinct from Cinnamon
in appearance, as in race, and one who knows
Eastern races easily distinguishes them. Most
of them are short and good looking, with brown
and ruddy skins.
