ttO-Lng sat DOWN at one OF lne LdDieS anu gave
his undivided attention to the paper. The
soda pop finished and the comic page scanned,
he slipped from the chair. Wah Dock was
gazing dreamily out of the window. Feeling
certain that Wah Dock had completely for
gotten his presence, Ho-Ling crept quietly
away from the restaurant and down the street,
the paper tucked under his arm. He felt
rather proud of himself. The paper was his,
and no embarrassing questions had been
asked
He made straight for Columbus Park on
Mulberry Street, where he knew he would be
alone He found bench and sat down, and
then turned to the page he wanted to see.
And there staring at him was picture of
the man in the courtyard; ugly scar, beady
eyes, and sullen frown. The paper told in
vivid details the whole story of this Public
Enemy Number One. Tony was his name. In
cory details were listed his victims Six had
fallen to this killers caressing gun. Then he
read how the day before the members of
Tony's gang had been caught ed-handed in
spectacular raid. But Tony, the brains of the
gang and the worst of the lot, had escaped.
The police believed him to be hiding some
where in New York, and were leaving no stone
unturned to track him down. And then the
newspaper, with munihcent gesture, made
an offer of one thousand dollars to anyone
furnishing information that would lead to
Tony's capture.
For long time Ho-Ling sat quietly medi-

Foo Jung had recently purchased. Ho-Ling
measured the box. 1t would serve his purpose.
Then depositing Meu under his own bed, he
went out and made his purchases.
In one of the shops he saw tiny clay cat.
This, too, he bought. He meant to carry it in
his trouser pocket to touch occasionally. 1t
would remind him of Meu in case his courage
ever faltered.
He had enough money left to afford a
movie, and over on the Bowery was superb
gangster pictured entitled. Get Your Man."
But instead of giving him any new ideas it
only brought terror to his heart. For in the
picture the G-Men chased gangsters through
the streets and into deserted alleyways,
shooting it out with machine guns, and hurl
ing blistering tear gas bombs. And the only
weapon Ho-Ling had was bean shooter!
When he got back to Mott Street he saw
some of his friends, Boy Scouts like himself,
playing handball in the courtyard of church.
They called to him to come and join them.
But Ho-Ling shook his head and trudged on
home Handball was game for babies COM
pared to the great problem he had on his
mind He spent the rest of the hot afternoon
seated on the edge of his bed, tanning himself
and soberly meditating.
When seven O'Clock came he went out into
the street again. He fingered quietly near the
passageway by the Wah Chong Company
and, when he saw he was unobserved, he
slipped into the dark retreat The door to the
cellar was closed. Ho-Ling knocked three
times.
Come in,'' said Tony, opening the door.
Ho-Ling, his heart beating like trip ham,
mer. stepped down the stairway. The dismal
basement was lighted by single candle. In
one corner were piles of boxes. In the rear
fight of steps led to upstairs - and what?
I'm doin' some work here" said Tony,
noticing Ho-Ling's rowing eyes. "Checkin'

dress in Chinatown.
1t was now long after midnight Foo Jung
wouldn't be home until two or three o'clock.
Ho-Ling dressed quietly and then with the
purchases he had made that day. and the
box containing Meu, he crept noiselessly down
the stairs and out into the deserted streets.
He went directly to one of the government
buildings on the other side of Columbus Park.
1t said State of New York" quite proudly on
its white facade. On the Leonard Street side
he looked about. No one was in sight. So by
the huge door he placed the box containing
Meu.
Then he mwrapped his purchases. At the
foot of the box he placed rice bowl he had
bought. He filed the bowl with rice taken
from the huge kettle that stood on the stove
at home. In this rice he put two chopsticks
standing upright. This was the way it was
always done with the dead, and even though
Meu may never have eaten rice, it was the
proper thing to do. The piece of fish, that
from the first he had meant for Meu, he placed
on top of the rice. Next to this, in small vase,
he stuck some joss sticks. Between the rice
bowl and the vase, wrapped in red tissue
paper, he laid three pennies. Meu, when he
arrived in the Land of the Dead, must not be,
as he had been in this life, beggar
Then Ho-Ling uept happily away. He had
given Meu decent burial
He slept well that night and the next morn-

buy whole roll of tickets, and ride and ride.
But how could he inform the police that he,
Ho-Ling Boy Scout, of all the millions of
people in New York, alone knew where this
Public Enemy Number One was hiding?
To go directly to the policeman on the
corner and say, II know where Tony is, " was
unthinkable. There was no cunning, no sub
tlety in such method. 1t was too simple, too
obvious. The mind of Ho-Ling. with genera
tons of crafty ancestors behind it, did not
work that way. Had it not been for Meu, he
might have considered it none of his affair.
But the brutal killing of Meu had made it a
personal matter.
He looked down Mulberry Street. An
Italian bank, a restaurant, a pool hall, another
restaurant, deserted store, and beyond that
a butcher shop. Yes, in that empty store in
the basement. That was the place. Nobody
would think of looking for Tony there. The
windows we're thick with dust, the TO Rent"
sign was stained with age.
On the other side of the Park were the
buildings belonging to the Government.
Slowly an idea began to evolve in his mind.
He looked, as he sat there, for all the world
like diminutive Chinese philosopher con-
templating nature in the few whispering
trees in the Park. And not even an expression
of elation crossed his face as he finally came
to conclusion. He rose and started back to
Chinatown To carry out his scheme he must
make few purchases.
First he went into the court, where he re-
tieved the piece of fish he had meant to feed
to Meu. Then he picked up the dead cat and,
wrapping him up in the newspaper, hurried
home.
He shared a room with his brother, Foo
Jung, who was twenty years old and student
at Columbia University. Under Foo Jung's
bed was shoe box that Ho-Ling coveted.
The box contained the new white shoes that

'Okay."
When he came back,
Tony gave him another

said, even if you are a
dumb Chink. Tomorrow l

to do. Somethin' important.
Mean a whole buck. You

Ling. 'Our secret"
That's Chink, all right.
Like to keep things to your
selves. Damn good idea,
too. Now, suam. Gotta
check these boxes.
So Ho-Ling went home.
Fortunately he would be
alone for a time. Foo Jung
worked uptown in a restau-
rant and came home very
late. When the rest of the
family had gone to bed and
the house was quiet and
even the murmurs from the
street outside had subsided,
Ho-Ling crept from his bed.
First he removed Foo
Jung's white shoes from the
box, being careful not to
rustic the tissue paper. In
the box he placed Meu.
Then with his pen-knife he
cut from the newspaper the
picture of Tony. He placed
this on top of Meu. He
closed the box and wrapped
it securely. On the cover in
his boyish scrawl he printed:

Below this he signed his
name IN Chinese. And added
