off the story; spasm of cough zf8B
ing seized him. Beads of per-
spiration stood out on his pale
brow yet the car was far from warm.
Unconditional tears welled up in his sunken
brooding eyes. The talon-like fingers began
to drum nervously on the narrow WALL
counter. A succession of asthmatic
wheezes followed the hacking cough. The
thin lips twisted into an apologize, sheepish
grin as he recovered; cycling me medita-
lively, as if to reassure himself. :. -.
Outside, muddy faltering light was
breaking. Dawn - in the Louisiana
swamps! The undated rain slapped the
sides of the slowly moving show train.
The szvish-savish of overhanging Jungle as
it brushed the sides sounded strangely
out of tune. l wondered how long since
we had left Shreveport; yet knew, in
tuitively, that it was the custom to proceed
slowly due to the danger of washouts.
The car lamps sputtered and struggled
with the murky semi-light of the dismal
new day. The barboy was fast asleep,
with arms sprawled across the rude bar.
Suddenly the weird chanting in pidgin
English of an old refrain peculiar to San
Francisco's old Chinatown that l had
heard years before caused a thrill of ap-
prehension--for Toys" sanity-to run
over me
"China-boy- him-no-sabee

Could this wretched drug-craving crea-
ture who sat opposite me be the friend
whom had known so long? What did
| know of his private affairs? Why was
he so anxious to defend Madam Zallah2
Were the two engaged in some illicit en-
terprise? What bearing had these actions
on Madam Zallah's psychic ability? All
these questions l asked myself; beginning
to feel some regret for my Unsuitable cur
iosity. Yet would see it through
Don't look at me that way kid" sud-

in my face which could scarcely conceal.
II know how you feel and what you
want to say" he went on, "but wait!
You'll see and hear something that YOU
will remember long time-and wont
regret either !-Come!"
Rising, he started for the door, beckon-
ing for me to follow. With an unsteady
gait he passed thrugh the door and into a
Pullman stateroom-car. Determined to see
the thing through l followed closely.
Presently he stopped, in the center of the
car; fitted key unsteadily in the small
door, thrust it open, and we both entered.
Quickly drawing the window blind he
passed to the tiny bed, reached under and
drew out bulky package-like suitcase
which he handled tenderly as he deposited
it in the center of the floor. Hastily
lighting a wall lamp he busted himself
with the package.
CHANGING around the tiny stateroom l
was at once struck by the contrast of room
and occupant. A tawdry attempt at
Oriental splendor was evident. A cotton

evidence that the blowing up Of the
building was intentional. 1t may
well have been accidental. With a
normal supply Of bombs In his clothes
any Lentini city father is liable to
inadvertent explosion. II one states
man thus accidentally blew up others
may have been touched Off by the
concussion. That building should
go down under a series Of such ex-
plosions is only natural.
All the facts given in the dispatch
are that the Mayor made bombs, that
he made them in the ordinary routine
way to supply members of the Munic-
ipal Council. and that a municipal
building was blown up. The event
is unusual even in these days Of
peaceful soviet penetration. For that
very reason further details should be
awaited before forming an opinion.
There may be other evidence in sup
port of the fiat charge that the Mayor
is responsible for the wrecking of
the building, but until that evidence
is forthcoming it is clearly reason
able to suspend judgment
