Hnd either Mr.. Gibncy CT McGufrey
been watching Captain Scraggs after
he had left them they would have
been much puzzled to account for that
worthy's actions. First he lodged
around the block into Drumm street.
and then ran down Drumm Il Califor-
mia, where he climbed aboard a cable
car and rode up into Chinatown. Ar
irving at Dupont street he aiighted
and walked up hat interesting thor
oughfare until he came to No. ia.
He glanced at a sign over the door and
was aware that he stood before the
entrance TO the offices of the Chinese
SIX Companies. so Ne climbed upstairs
and inquired for Gin seng. who pres
emily made his appearance.
Gin Seng, a very nice. fat China
man. arrayed In a flowing silk gown.
begged. In pidgin English. to know In
what manner he could be OF service.
Me heap big captain, alice same

(Here Captain scraggs winked know.
ingly.)s "ChIns boy nc speak Eng.

THAT being the case" interposed
Gin Seng. 81 presume that you and l
understand each other, so let's cut
out the pidgin English. Do l under
stand that you are engaged In evading
the immigration LAVISH"
Exactly" Captain Scraggs managed
to gasp, as soon as he could recover
from his establishment. ''They showed
me your name an address, an they
won't leave tn ship. where I got 'em
locked up in M cabin, until you come
an take 'em away. Couple o. rela.
lives of yours. I should imagine"
Gin Seng smiled his bland Chinese
smile. He had frequent dealings with
ship masters engaged in the danger
Gus. though lucrative. trade Of smug
Cling Chinese Into the United States.
and while he had not received advice
of this particular shipment, he decided
to go with Captain Scraggs to jackson
street bulkhead n see II he could
not be of some use to HIS countrymen
As Captain Scraggs and his Chinese
companion approached the wharf the
skipper glanced warily about. he had
small e that either Gibney or Nc.
Guney would show up for an hour. for
he knew that Mr.. Gibney had money
In his possession. However. he decided

Latter Part Of Week.

Snow and colder tonight but fair
weather tomorrow. - the prediction
of the weather bureau given out to-
day.
After waiting for the snow pre-
dicted for asst night and today. the
demonstrations may be accepted
somewhat obviously. although many
now point to a snow storm
within the next twelve hours. The
light rain which has been falling
steadily today will be joined by colder
weather this evening. with a. big prob
ability that snow will be the result.
The promise of fair weather for the
remainder of the week may bring
some optimism to those who have
let the coal fires go out and hIve re-
placed the storm windows with
screens. ~
Farmers il the city t<ay we're
cnthused over prospects for spring
operations and they declared that the
rain today has done much to improve
the condition of the ground. Unless
a severe cold snap is experienced. all
of the frost will be out Of the ground
