SAVED BY QUICK WIT
DR.. w. H. Park Escapes Death at
Hand of Fanatics

Sometimes the lives of misiona-
ries are not as quiet and colorless
as the ordinary layman would i'm
agine. Here is little story that has
Just leaked back about DR.. w. H.
Park, a medical missionary of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
stationed at Soochow Hospital in
China.
Dr. Park was recently in an up
rising which occurred in Soochow.
The populace became very much ag-
grieved at missionaries in general
and a little project was imminent
to behead all foreigners" found in
the city. Things were really serious
and the streets became full of Boil
sheviki looking Cinnamon.
1t was essential for this particu-
lar missionary to answer an emer-
gency call which took him through
one of the narrow streets filled with
the threatening crowd, but, as he
had given relief to many in that
district whenever help was neceSsa-
ry, he thought he might dare to 60
on his errand without the chance of
OcluS UcucducO. Dut VIC OioCA AeSu
gone out that all foreigners"
should be summarily dealt with and
he took a long chance in the going.
He made his trip in one of the
qukint little covered jinrikishes so
intimately associated with China,
and for several blocks he managed
to get through undisturbed. How
ever, a mass of yelling "heathen"
at the intersection of one of the
streets finally called his chauffeur
to stop the "cab" and five or six
dived frantically forward to remove
the incumbent therein.
"Take the foreigner out Take
the foreigner QUIT" came in Chinese
lingo from dozens of voices.
But the man who had pulled back
the curtains of the Chinese "taxi-
cab" dropped them as quickly as
they were lifted, shrugged his
shoulders in good Chinese style, and
called back in the language which
DR.. Park understood very we'll, af-
ter many years sojourn in China:
"It's no foreigner in there. He's
just DR.. Park"
As this particular missionary
happens to be an unusually blonde
SON of America, he said he felt very
much fiattered that the yellow folks
of Soochow really accepted him as
a "brother."

Thomas Grant Springer and Fleeta
Campbell Springer, the novelists and
short story writer's who collaborated
on this ridiculously absurd travesty on
detective dramas, wrote 1t after an
amusing experience which taught them
that circumstantial evidence, and even
relied upon.
They had but recently been married
and were living in San Francisco. Mr.,
Springer being a newspaper man at
that time and Mrs. Springer court re-
porter for the Supreme Court. Re-
ceiving a sudden invitation out OF
town over the week end, 1t was neces-
sary for them to pack in a hurry to
catch the train desired.
Being young, happy and hilarious
Mr.. Springer slung things about at
lively rate, pulling out drawers. slam
ming the trunk around and knocking
over chairs. At all of which Mrs
Springer protested somewhat vlgor-
ously and Mr., Springer retorted In
kind. all in the utmost good humor
but in a manner calculated to arouse
the suspicious of a nosey, inquisitive
woman in the fiat next door.
Finally Mr. Springer gave one trunk
an extra hard twirl and his wife was
jammed between it and the wall and
she shrieked laughipgly. Stop! You're
killing mei'
Upon leaving the house Mr.. Springer
remarked to his wife that II any one
heard the racket and her screams he
would be justified in supposing that
murder was being done.
And that Is Just what the meddie-
some woman next door did think, or
said she thought. She reported the
matter TO the house superintendent
with such a wealth of imaginary de-
tail that he called in an officer and
they entered the apartment, where
bloody carving knife and the topsy
| turvy state of the rooms seemed pretty
strong circumstantlal evidence, along
with what the woman declared she
had heard. that crime had been
committed.
