SS ING stood on the * his hands nnder his blouse. cornet. The wind cfhllled his ankles and slapped his linen trousers around his aged shins. Chin Sing stooped forward and gazed through his slits of eyes at the endless stream of men and women who passed through Chinatown. He was almost as motionless as the Indian In front \of the cigar store across the street. "Look, there Is a picture. If that old fellow Isn't a type!" If the ex* clamation from a girl who halted her companions reached the ears of the old Chinese, It did not register on his countenance. Of course he was a type. He was a piece of scenery, a stage prop, and that was why Loo Fat paid him each week to stand by the dooi\ way of the restaurant. After a while he would go upstairs and more of these Americans would point him outiv Chin Sing did not understand but he^ aaked no questions. He wished, he could go back to China. "Lotta folks upstairs."* He turned to climb slowly up Into a room futt of good smells, tobacco smoke, a$d shrill cries. The restaurant of Loo Fat catered to the Chinese trade knowing It would bftftf the other, for Loo Fat was wise in the ways of the Americans. The new and shiny chop suey places were no longer a novelty, and the man who would succeed in charging high prices to white men must have something different. So Loo Fat tolerated -he Americans and tavlshed attention on the Celestials even paying some few, among whom was Chin Sing, to be conspicuous. At the J p of the stairs the old man stopped and shouted his wants in a thin treble. The order was echoed by a welter and repeated again in deep bass by a vegetable cutter 'in the kitchen. .To Chin Sing this was* an old story; to the customers it was real life out of old China and a most interesting performance. Over an odd looktng dish which could be certain to attract attention and an order from the Americans, Chin Sing waved his chop sticks. This was an easy Job for there was plenty to eat. But it would take money to go back to China. He was getting old.* and they were fighting back there where he used tp live. If he could get back there, just once, he would join the army, it didn't matter which army, and go to* his death as had his honored father. "Look at that old man in the corner. Did you ever see such a fierce expression?" Chin Sing did not hear. He was not in the corner but in China brandishing a large sword. From behind the desk Loo Fat sang out an order and the old Chinese awakened and began to attack his food with elaborate evidence of relishing each bite. Loo Fat was right, a man must enjoy his food if the white men and women are expected to buy. All the same, he would go back to China. He evolved his plan from a stray bit of gossip he picked up on the street and lost no time in potting it into practice. Chin Sing, the peaceful fixture of the restaurant, took to the sidewalk a tiny store of opium and offered it for sale to those who passed. There was no one who would buy, but many who stared incredulously at a man who could be so bold or so insane as to brave a law so openly. Within an hour a policeman had him in tow and Chin Sing was taken to jalL Of what followed he had little unr derstandlng. The old man who told him how wicked he had been was a federal judge and the crowd who looked at him with ill-concealed dls* gitet took him for a common peddler of dope. Well, he was used to being looked at. "What did he Bay happen to m«r Chin Sing asked the jailer when he was returned to the cell. "Six months in Jail, one dollar fine, ahd deportation," was the answer. "Six months, yes; one dolla, yes; and what that' other?" "Deportation. Back you go to China. We don't want you in this country." Chin Sing nodded solemnly and as solemnly he served his time. "China man right," he said, as they took him to the boat, "China man right when he say Uncle Sam send you back when you break big* law,; One dolla, pretty cheap." z:w *% ;V£ * % -'V mmmfr , ....» . •f. ^4-.^ ;v"r^v "*•<«&*. .4 <w" - J,-.-; v'-%. ^ Not an Antique $wo kindred spirits of college days wgre having lunch with a third, a young matron of about thtrty-five, at her pleasant home In a small town near Indianapolis.
