The two friends had been dining on
dicers and sundry strange dishes at
the "Cedars of Lebanon" cafe, IN the
Syrian quarter of New York. They
were drinking their coffee, thick with
coal-black grounds. and wondering
whether they really enjoyed it, when
Smithers suddenly cried out:
"Pataug! Pataug!"
The waiter hurried away, and came
back presently bringing an ordinary
corkscrew.
II was just testing" said Smithers
to his companion, 1.-The truth of the
story that the first corkscrew seen in
Beirut was taken there by Yankee.
1t was a patented American contrap-
ton, and the Syrians were amazed at
its convenience. They spelled out on
it the mystic words, Pat Aug. 10,
'76. and took that to be the name OF
the implement. Now l believe the
story that 'pataug' is its name all over
the Levant."

IS SHREWD BUSINESS WOMAN
Mrs. Frank Hing Of New York Has
Been Successful in Accumulate
ing American Dollars.

Waiting on customers with an ORR
entail charm and politeness that daily
wins new patrons to her laundry in
Blocker street, Mrs. Frank Hing,
daughter of the Flowery Kingdom, is
rapidly accommodating American dol
lars that are estimated already to
reach into the thousands.
Mrs. Hing, who is a fine specimen of
the Chinese matron Of middle age, is
militant suffragist of the most pro-
nounced type. She is an advocate Of
"votes for women" and points with
pride to the action of the new Chi
nese assembly in granting suffrage to
her sisters in China.
The first Chinese business woman
in New York city and probably in this
country. came to the United States
only two years ago. quickly acquired a
speaking knowledge of the English
language, and by reason of her fine
aptitude for business was speedily ell
evated by her husband to take full
charge of the laundry.
Mrs. Hing receives the laundry pack
ages, gives out the checks, receives
the money. pays the bills. and her hus-
band stands over the washtub and
cooks the meals In rear room, as
sisted by an 1S-year-old son.
Soon after Mrs. Hing assumed
charge of the business she began to
buy and sell secondhand clothing.
All day long, and even into the late
hours of the night, men who are In
| trouble financially can be seen enter
ing the laundry to part with wearing
apparel In order to raise money to cal
and to pay for nights lodgins.
Many of these come from the large
mems hotel across the street. In al
such transactions Mrs. Hing takes ad
vantage of their plight with Chinese
cunning and gets for a trifiins cos

Agatha's voice was trembling. Aleck
watched her as she told her tale, the
flush Of happiness and Joy still light
Ing up his face. AS she finished re-
lating the meager facts which to her
denoted so many heart-throbs, a sob
drowned her voice. AS Aleck followed
the story, his own eyes wavered.
That's Jim, down to the ground.

Aleck, still standing by Agatha's

she was weak.

Aleck looked at her before entering

were filled with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel.

was a friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right 1t was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good, and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion of their schooldays. He
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done; there had been nc
question as to that, of course, from
the beginning. But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll ant
