She lost her husband, her friends. her

she was regarded as a nuisance and
forcibly elected.

little man cast a startled look at his
interrogation through heavy spectacles
and made a dash for the stairs.
Don't talk to me. l have nothing

There he stepped into a carriage that
was waiting and with three Chinese
companions he ratified off up Mott
street and around the corner in the
direction Of Mulberry Bend park.
DR.. Suns reticence did not serve to
prevent the establishment of his iden-
ttty beyond reasonable question. From
more about the doings of the residents
Of the yellow triangle off Park Row

learned hat DR.. Sun AFT Sen had left
washington a week ago and had come
to New York. after a brief stopover in
Philadelphia. A Chinese who is a
member Of the Chinese Empire Re-
form association. which is at logger
heads with the Young China associa-
ton yer matters Of revolutionary
politics. said that three merchants of
the quarter had told him that they had
contributed to DR.. Sun Vat Sen in per.
son funds for the support of the revo-
luton at home. He suggested that the
only likely place to find the elusive
doctor would be in the rooms of the
Young China association across the
street. where the strange new red and
blue flag Of the twelve-rayed sun was
being displayed.
Just as one in quest Of the reputed
revolutionary leader turned the head
of the short flight of stairs leading up
to the Young China club rooms four
Chinese came out. When they were
stopped and asked If DIR. Sun Vat Sen
was in town. the person addressed pro.
fessed not to understand, though on
previous occasions he had answered
questions readily enough. DIR. Sun
slipped along the wall toward the head
of the stairs while the colloquy was
progressing. Then it was hat he was
