Of paper inside that envelope SO,
while Mr.. Tung was tearing open the
envelope and taking out the sheet Of
paper, had some distinctly uncom-
Portable moments. Suppose ] had
wronged him-what was / to do2 Own
up, make a clean breast of it--or run
away?
! had not yet found an answer when
became perfectly certain that none
was required. My chance shot had
struck him like a bombshell The
change which took place in his coun-
tenance when he began to read what
was written on that piece Of paper was
really curious. l should have said he
had a visage over whose muscles he
exercised great control--Mongols have
as a rule. But those words OF mine
were so wholly unexpected that when
he first saw them his expression was,
on the instant, one of stunned amaze
ment. He glanced at the opening
words, then, dropping his hands to his
sides, gazed round the room, as if he
were wondering if there we're any one
there who could have written them.
Then he raised the sheet Of paper
again and read farther lie presented
a unique picture of the surprise which
is born of terror.
His companions, looking at him,
we're affected as he was, withou,
knowing why The big, burly man
leaned toward him; saw him mutter
You look as if you'd had a stroke.
What's the matter? What's that
you've got there? Don't look like that.
Every one is staring at you What's
| Up"
Mr. Tung did not reply; he looked
at the speaker, then at the sheet OF
paper-that time | am sure he did not
see what was on it. Then he crunpled
the sheet of paper up in his hand, and
without word strobe across the
lounge into the hall beyond. His two
companions looked after him in be-
wildered amazement; then. they went
! also, not quite so fast as he had done
but fast enough And all the people in
| the lounge looked at each other. The
manner of the exit OF these three gen.
| tlemen had created small sensation
My little experiment had succeeded
altogether beyond my anticipation It
was plain that had no. m rdged
