1t took Sam some time to arrive at decision
Of what he should do. Four blocks away lived

and had even a touch of humor - faint and

but very delicious humor just the same.

LID Sam NnOy, with q troubled heart,
but seemingly bland and indif-
ferent expression on his placid face,
trotted sadly homeward, the bag of
laundry over his shoulder.
Getting back to his place of business on
Lexington Avenue, he closed the door tightly
to keep out the winters cold. dropped the
laundry onto the floor and said to Moy Sing,
his helper, Too bad -. Too bad =. Me likee
missile. too. So much likee. Too bad"
Moy Sing was puzzled, but good manners
forbade asking his elder what he meant But
he suspected it had something to do with a
Mrs. John X. Blakesford. who lived in brown
stone house in the East Thirties.
About year ago she had come into the
laundry and had inquired politely about
prices, without the usual patronizing air
assumed by American ladies' Moy Sing had
interpreted for Sam, and when she left her
card with pencilled address. and asked Sam
If he wodad call for the laundry, he had
nodded his consent. Usually Moy Sing made
these calls; but this lady had asked Sam to
come, and he had gone.
Despite her fine clothes and the fur coat
she was wearing, which even one as humble
as Sam could not help but know was very ex-
pensive there was look of sadness in her
eyes, and Sam often wondered why such an
aristouatic lady should come to his laundry.
And such beautiful things she sent to be
larmdered, too - real linens, rich silks, and
filmy laces, with never anything cheap nor
second-rate. Sam took great pleasure in IRON
ing these lovely things. He would fold them
neatly and on top of the bundle write in
Chinese pleasant proverb. 1t was his way
of paying compliment to this charming wom-
an with white hair and delicate hands for
always smiling 50 oourteously and inquiring
so politely about his health. Her manners,
he felt. were quite above reproach.
And while she never invited him into her
small apartment on the second floor front
of the brownstone house, he could see through
the door that it was well furnished with soft
carpets on the floor, beautifully carved and
upholstered furniture, and exquisite vases and
rare antiques on the mantel.
He didn't know until today that all these
things had once been in a larger home on
Park Avenue. And also piece by piece they
were now going where other things had gone

the laundry. Only on Saturdays did Moy
Sing, being a younger man, take his weekly
wages and 60 to Chinatown. He would come
back Sunday night. bringing fresh Chinese
vegetables and delicacies - dried fish and
meats that came from China and were very
satisfying to their Chinese palates.
Sam rarely went to Chinatown. Only on
holidays and on the Chinese New Years. when
he would visit his cousins and perhaps drink
little hot spiced wine. For the rest he was
quite content to remain at home with his
books - old and faded manuscripts - contain
ing the restful and satisfying sayings of
Confucius and the philosophers. He had
some scrolls, too, with scenes of old China.
These things, and memories were all Sam had
left of his former life.
When his wife had died twenty years ago
he had moved uptown and opened laundry.
carefully. The reason was his son. Three
years ago he had sent the boy to China for an
education. But when the bank failed last year
he had had to give up his schooling. However.
he had found employment in China as a
translator with British business house, and
was supporting himself. But Sam had 50 much
wanted his son to become a scholar and make
his family proud and important again.
Tonight when they had finished eating and
had put away the dishes and the chop sticks,
Sam went to a small trunk he kept under his
bed - always locked. not that he didn't trust
Moy Sing, but because one always kept ones
treasures locked up. 1t was the American way.
From the trunk Sam took the bank book.
Its cover was imposing and shiny, and the
pages filled with small entries covering period
of nineteen years.
There in the back was the name of the
president John X Blakesford. He compared
it with the card Mrs. Blakesford had given
him when she first came to his laundry. The
names we're undoubtedly the same. And what's
more what the man had said to him this morn-
ing confirmed it.
TOO bad" murmured Sam. ME likee
missile, too. So much likee Too bad"
He put the bank book away There was no
use brooding over it. There was little bag
in the trunk where Sam now kept what
American dollars he had been able to save
during the. past year. No reason to trust
them to big bank with polished floors and
much marble and brass ratings.
