BELEN TEAM BESTS
ST. MARY'S rs TO 6

Belen defeated st. Mary's yester-
day in the opening football game
of the season, at Belen. by a score
of 20 to 6. Although the score
was not close, the play throughout
was Of the closest type, Belen hav-
ing just shade the better of the
argument when near enough to the
st. Mary's line to score.
Indications are that Belen has
one of the best teams ever put out
by the high school of that city and
u close game is expected when AL

soon.
Although the st. Mary's team
was defeated, athletic instructors
at the school expressed themselves
as we'll pleased with the showing
and expect to have the team in
first class shape long before the
middle of the season.

oil lamps burning and showing dim
ly the faces of the smokers.
Here and there was a gurgling
sound as a smoker held the nat
bowl Of the pipe against the fame
Of the lamp and inhaled the pung-
ent smoke of the cooked Pill"
The air was heavy with the sickish
sweet odOr of the burning drug, and
Burton Shea had all he could do to
mask his repugnance. He saunter-
ed slowly down the room in the di-
reCtion of the windows looking out
on the alley, and soon found an emp
~ bunk.
There was a woman in the next
bunk-a white woman with luxuri-
ant hair loose and flowing over an
arm as white as marble. Her eyes
we're closed. one OF her arms was
flung across her slowly heaving bo-
som, the other pillowed her head
against the hardness OF the hollow
ed suey-pow. In the bunk beyond,
shirt-sleeved white man with gold
piping running down his blue trou
sers lay on his side and pulled
TRANQUILITY at thin cigarette. His
CLASSY eyes favored Shea with a
passing glance.
Across the room from the bunk
Shea selected, two Cinnamon lay
curled around a layout tray, each
taking turns at cooking and prepar-
ing the pills, and alternately smok-
ing the pipe. Meanwhile they con-
versed monotonously in low tone.
A young attendant came up and
asked Shea's wishes. Disappointed,
the American said: When last
came here an old man waited on me
and chilled my opium most delci
ously. His anne as l recollect it was
Shew Hing. How can l have him
serve me-, my brother?'
The young attendant eyed the
Mexican twenty-cent piece which
Shea slipped into his hand. Then
very respectfully, he said
"Shew Hing waits no more on
this outer room. He is old and fee
Bile and attends only to the inner
room where none but our country
men of wealth are admitted. But
again the youth eyed the piece Of
silver-"there is little trade in the
inner room this night, and | shal

ing encireied with a ring holding a
gem of value and each ankle boast
ing a thick anklet Of rare jade or
dull cleaning gold.
A waiter approached and found
time to take Shea's order. It was
simple; a bowl of Long 500 tea and
a helping of rice. In FIVE minutes
time he had slipped his tea and laid
down his Chopsticks.
Il would smoke of the poppy, my
brother, he said to the waiter as
he pad for his refreshments
The servant indicated a curtain

and Immediately Shea shuffled to-

tain and opened the door, to come
face TO face with kou Chang, the
proprietor.

the Chinaman asked with an in

Shea replied, And I would tarry

Cantonese the accent Of the dialect

supposed to hail

friend Kou Chang said. And

servant, about to shuttle on. found
a new flfty-cent piece of Mexican
coinage in his hand.
A minute or two passed. and Shea
found himself wondering who the
sleeping woman was. And was the
officer in the bunk beyond from the
Russian cruiser anchored down the
Whangpoo?
Little time. however, was given
him for conjecture, for the youth
returned and beckoned him to fol-

ceived that but four of the hunks
were occupied. Through an open

chattering of voices and the rattle
OF ivory markers. But he had time
to observe no more. for the bent fig
ure of an aged man hobbled toward
him.
The young man from the outer
