the old woman came in as usual and
brought a pot of hot tea and poured
out a bowl for him She went away as
silently as she came in and he sat
thinking.
The secondhand dealer on Second
Avenue was a thrifty fellow. he
thought, and wise one. He had

Put it in your wife's name" Fatty
replied, rolling the cigar between his
thick lips. That's what we do here in
America - then you can control 1t.
Herman Peng said nothing at the
time. Indeed the idea seemed ridlcu-
lous. But now, in spite of himself,
their fears had shaken him. After he
had drunk his tea, therefore, he rose,
put on his hat and coat, and went out
without seeing anyone. He went to the
bank and made a transfer of account.
What name?" the clerk asked.
Herman Peng thought a moment.
Louise Atlee," he said. No one knew
that obscure name The clerk pushed

her to sign it" he said curtly.

He turned to his wife, and at the
sight of his face she ran into the bed
room, the card still in her hand. and
turned the key in the lock.
Madame Rubin, in her own home
that night. surveyed the strange little
family she had accumulated within
the day The children's mother did
nothing but weep quietly. The chill
dren clung not to her but to the
strong faced old Chinese woman. 1t
was she who bathed them and put
them efficiently to bed Madame Rubin
watched her and grew momentarlly
more warm toward the whole Chinese
nation To MIR. Rubin. who was COM
pletely dazed by all she had poured
into his ears and who had retired to
bed early, she said emphatically,
That little man she married - he

somethin' comes out anywhere. like a
snake in picnic. You step on him and
then go on cnjoyin' the sandwiches
Nevertheless she was somewhat puz-
zled as to what to do with them as
several days passed. They were no
trouble except they had to be fed and
cared for. and even her kind heart felt
this could not go on forever. though
they stayed in the one little guest
room and made themselves as un-
obtrusive as possible.
Poor soulseS, is not life for them
she said to MIR. Rubin pltyingly,
She had had some sort of an idea
that they belonged to the Chinese
government. but If so. no word came.
They seemed to be little handful of
forgotten human beings who belonged
nowhere So one night. after the chill
dren were in bed, she went into the
guest room. Louise was undressed and
ready to sleep. But the old woman sat
on the floor, motionless. as though
waiting.
Now, dearle," Madame Rubin be-
gan. do you have any idea where is it

mo, wait i kinda see. Five dol
lars" she said promptly.
The old woman nodded. Then she
held up the old pair. How much?'
she repeated.
"One dollar" Madame Rubin said
promptly.
The game was progressing. The old
woman held up the fine shears to Mrs.
Whitaker. ''Fi' dollah," she said,
holding out her hand,
go on - give it to her," Madame
Rubin said breathlessly, eyes agleam.
Mrs. Whitaker drew four dollars
and change from her bag and put 1t
in the Chinese woman's hand. She
took up the old scissors, wrapped them
up neatly in a piece of facial tissue,
and presented them to Mrs. Whitaker.
Then she handed the change to
Madame Rubin and into her own
bosom she put the four dollars.
Graft" said Madame Rubin. Big
graft
The old woman smiled quickly.
These white women understood. There
must be the same thing here. then!
Men were alike everywhere, since even
a son of her great family had proved
himself seed of sin.
"You talkee p'liceman," she whis-
pered. "Talkee him go topslde" She
pointed upward. She looked from one
face to the other When she perceived
comprehension she took the four dol
lars out of her bosom and returned
them to Mrs. Whitaker. And then,
without word more, she rose, bowed
and went out as silently as she had
come in, leaving Madame Rubin and
Mrs. Whitaker stricken.
AS for DR.. Herman Peng, he never
knew, as long as he lived, how it was
found out that he had misused the
funds entrusted to him to buy the
most modern arms for the Chinese
army. The Americans were really to
blame for his having done so, he
thought scornfully and with intense
anger. If they had been willing at the
