Stephen Chase youthful and ambitious is field man
in Manchuria for the American OIL Company. When he
had devoted three gears to the 1Uo he arranged for his

American Sweetheart.
But evhen the time Lucy refused to go through

He conceives idea to haze the company mamutGcure

if he had done right By bringing Hester to this terrible
country sOhere she forced to be alone great part
of the time.
Stephen is informed that he is to open company sub

This means loneliness for Hester.

through the high narrow rooms
in their apartment. Oddly ia.
niliar, the chairs and the ia
bles, identical in shape and de-
sign with those in the low brick
house, their first home, identi-
cal with those in the house on
the plain, their second home.
Big and unwieldly in those
houses; small and shrunken in
these highceilinge6 rooms.
From the living room windows
at the narrow end of the house,
they looked into the lighted
windows Of the con ulate.
Across the space between came
white voices singing.
Listen! There aren't many
women here, are there?"
"How do you know"
Don't you hear how the
mems voices predominate?"
well, maybe so," Stephen
answered, moving about the
room, humming like an unmusi.
cal bumblebee in his content
ment.
The crowd was still singing
when they entered the dining
room of the consulate. AS the
house-boy swung the door wide,
ushering them within, with one
accord the 30-odd people seated
around the table jumped to
their feet, raised their glasses,
singing:
For he's a jolly good fellow,
Tor he's a jolly good fellow!"
Who's a jolly good fellow?"
someone shouted into the din.
1t was Fenton, flushed with
wine, evidently thinking he was
the cheer leader at a college
football game. With a sweeping
movement of his hand, he led
them into a cheer:
Chase, Chase, rah, rah!"
Hester looked at Stephen
anxiously. Had those years
apart crippled his spirit, max.
ing it impossible for him to be
one with a crowd? Had they
crippled her, too? Oh, no, she
would not have it so.
They all began singing, MRS.
Chase is a jolly good fellow!"
She was important, she had her
place. The commotion subsidized
and Hester was seated at the
right hand of the host. How
nice to be a member Of a COM
mun1ty once more. How nice
they all looked.

At the first glimmer Of day.
light men and boys moved over
the valley floor. Not moment
could be wasted, if three crops
were to be harvested in the
year. A few weeks ago, these
men and boys had stood in the
black ooze of the paddles, trans
planting each blade of rice from
the seed-bedS. Forty, so days
thus saved. Now kneeling in
the sluSh of the flooded paddles,
painstakingly the peasants
weeded the young rice.

AS they came to a halt before
an iron-studded gate, Fenton
spoke to Stephen.
Look at that lamp Of ours
on that fruit vender's stand!
Couldn't be more Western, could
it? And yet it looks Eastern
here, doesn't it?"
Stephen glanced at the lamp
burning dirnly like a candle, the
wick crusted over so that it
famed only at one point. It
was Eastern. The boy straight
from home was right. How
strange to him, it's creator, to
whom it had always been an in
strument wherewith to alter the
East. OF course, all the lamp
needed was cleaning, but Fen
tons fancy stuck in his mind.
House of Business
Someone from inside I'M
barred the gate and they filed
into the compound. Across a
hard-packed, clean-swept space
of earth stood the hong-the
House Of Business.
From where they stood the
length of the hong was en-
HANGED, its width narrowed.
Lights shone from the windows,
showing the galleries encircling
every floor, stairs ascending
from gallery to gallery. They
entered the hall that ran the
length of the building. It, like
the galleries, had stairs leading
straight up to the next story.
Down them now came the out
going manager, jenkins.
3. cat your service" he said
iaconically to Stephen. "Your
office" and he led them into a
room on the right of the hall,
then out again and up the bare
stairway. The sound of their
steps echoed and reechoed in
the great building.
Junior apartments here" he
went on, as they reached the
long hall on the second floor.
"Fenton's at one end, Boynton
the other, and you've got the
whole top floor. I'm staying
with Fenton until I turn over
the business to you. Now you
know it ALL" he ended with
bored indifference.
Thanks a lot," said Stephen.
"Don't bother to come up, Kin
here seems to know the way.
Good night"
There's a party going on
over at the consulate" Boynton
called after them, lin honor Of
Jel)kinS. You're invited. It's just
next door"
"Give us 10 minutes" Hester
answered, leaning over the ban
lister, seeing his upturned face.
How strangely in tt mate it
seemed; these men so near, all
Of them IN the same house, with
their work and their personal
desires. She supposed she was
still held in the grip of that
isolation of the house on the
plain.

Hester made a quick tour
