How Chinese Paint.

Nearly all the painting in the for
eign settlements and all in the Chin
ese cities is done by native workmen
with Chinese paint. The use Of Chin
ese material and labor is because Of
cheapness, although a piece of work
never has a finished appearance.
Most of the work is done by the
painter taking a bunch Of cotton
waste, which he saturates by dipping
in the paint pot and then rubbing 1t
over the surface to be painted Even
If foreign brushes are furnished the
Chinese painter will not use them.
He says he saves paint by his meth
cd and gets 1t more evenly distribut-
ed over the surface. On exterior sur
faces the Chinese paint is not durable,
but the coat is so small that the job
can be done two or three times for
what one painting would cost In Amer

for herself, she left the place where
she was known, went to another town

due course a daughter was born, and

to her that she really was a widow,

During this interesting recital some
things became clear to Stennis.
Presumably you found out all this
when as you told me, you were sent
Some of it-nOt ALL" admitted
Hews with cheerful candor.
why did not you acquaint the law
yers with the true state of affairs?"
We'll, you see," replied Hews, with
another knowing wink. "at that time

the fact turned out to be as thought,
it looked as though good thing might
be made out of 1t"
Meaning to turn it to account with
me afterwards" inquired Stennis.
"Sure!" was the unabashed answer,
now that his unsuspected plot to mar.
ry Eunice had ignominiously failed.
Silence ensued, both men being
busy with their thoughts; Hews looked
for a quick and easy capitulation. At
length Wilfrid spoke again:
How much time will you allow me
to consider this proposal of yours?"
he inquired composedly.
Time? Why, how much time do y
want? Not a day, not an hour! It's
take it or leave it, now or never!"
Il rather think I'll leave it, Mr..
Hews," drawled Wilfrid, half-smile
lifting one corner of his tawny mus.

You'll never do it," exclaimed the
astounded and mortified Hews.
Won't II" queried Stennis. "You
have made one grand mistake, Mr..
Hews: You took me for as big a rogue
as yourself! A fool may be, but not
that! Why, you despicable villain, do
you imagine l would conspire with
such a rat as you to defraud a woman.
a motherless girl, and she my own
flesh and blood?"
The tehpter stared at the tempted
in blank dismay. That any one with a |
sane head on his shoulders should re-
ject such a plain business proposition
passed the moral comprehension Of |
Roger Hews-a man without a con-
science.

CHAPTER DISCONTINUED.

You'll get the proofs fast enough
when I'm ready to give em out What
want to know first is, are y open to
make deal?"
Explain yourself" said Wilfrid with
admirable self-control.
Il say y're fraud; that y're not the
true heir; that word from nell turn
y out neck and crop tomorrow Now,
how much is it wuth to hush the hull
thing and go on as we been doing?"
you must be little more explicit,
Mr.. Hews," said Wifrid gently, upon
whom the conviction was forcing itself
that he had to deal with a maniac
whom 1t were best to humor. You
cannot expect me to make any ar
rangement-a deal, you call tin the
dark. | must first know what it is all
about"
But the next words of Roger Hews
dispelled this idea The situation was
actually serious. as was perhaps best
indicated by the savagely insolent
manner of the man.
I've got evidence t. show-legal ev-
idence, mind y'-that Andy Meleen
left a daughter, born in lawful wed
lock, although he didn't suspect it
when he made his will That girls
alive yet Nobody knows it now but
me, and / can perdooce her any min
ute. You've got sense enough to see
that in any court of equity this knocks
you out completely. If only Andy'd
a known it, you wouldn't a been in
it at all. These three years past
you've been spending her money
money belonging to Andy Meleen's or
phan daughter!"
Go on" said Wilfrid, looking Hews
squarely in the eye as the latter
paused to note the effect of this knock
down statement.
AS l was sayin', not soul knows
this but me. How l know it is my
business. do know it, an l en- prove
it. The girl doesn't dream of it, neith-
er does her--her folks. Now, then,
here you stand: You're fond of soft
living-I can see that; you've got in
with the smart set, you're engaged to
be married to one of 'em, and you're
personally liable to Andy Meleen's es-
tate for every dollar you've spent of
his money That's so. amt it?"
Wilfrid nodded assent, merely for
arguments sake, his eyes still glued
to the face of his tormentor.
Then l ask you, as man to man:
What's it worth to you to purchase
this information?"
Meaning what is it worth to me to
buy your silence?" inquired Stennis.
That's what l mean, exactly"
calculated Hews with cool effrontery.
Stennis studied the mans face, with
its assumption of easy swagger and
a gleam in the eyes of deadly hatred
and malice. Then he spoke in low
and level tones:
Before we go any further, Mr..
Hews. let me have the satisfaction of
telling you to your face that you are
an internal scoundrel!"
I've been told that before in my
business" retorted Hews, with a cal
lous laugh. 1T don't hurt any. The

1t all came about through the illness
of the wife of John w. Young, also a
member of the colored race. She had
been "ailing' for some time. and hear
ing of the wonderful cures accomplished
by Burton, she caused her husband to
summon him to the house. After q

that the house had been conjured, and
