certificates to a man who peered
at him from behind large horn
trimmed glasses.
This is an American pig?"
NO" Yang replied.
''Are not the Americans at the
Catholic Mission the owners?" the
man asked sharply.
Yes" Yang admitted, but it
is a Chinese pig. I bought it in the
market when 1t was small and l
raised it. 1t has been fed only
Chinese sweet-potato leaves and

mo matter! Ownership IS by
the Americans! The tax on foreign
pigs is double - two cents a

This was a totally unexpected

once more lifted the cage to their
shoulders and left the office. Yangis
courtesy and fortitude were re-
warded. Up the street one block he
found a vacant lot. Leaving Yao
and Red Nose, Yang sped back to
the Mission.
When he got back an hour later,
darkness was falling. Yao and Red
Nose were sound asleep. side by
side. Yang aw0lke the cook and.

1T is for the Christmas feast,

The officer was suspicious.
''Is this Christmas feast an ex-
cuse to plot against the Peoples

were told to carry the pig under a
large shed. Here they found a dozen
other pigs IN line. Some of the pigs
grunted. but Red Nose slept reace-

finally came to Yang and Yao.
Yang presented the registration

the papers and then examined the
pig.

planned.
The Inspector shook his head
slowly. ''What a pity! Such a fine
pig killed to fiji the stomachs of
fOOls!''
With a great show of disgust, he
made out a certificate stating that
the animal was fit for slaughter.
Yang could hardly suppress a smile
Of relief as he reached for the
paper. 1t was short lived. "A tax
of one cent a pound must be paid
before the pig can be killed." said
the official. Take the pig to the
