Rs v Tea elon the gardens" BY REX SON OF THE GODS BEACH | SYNOPSIS 'When Lee Ying, a prosperous' Chinese merchant' of San Francisco, announces that a son has arrived at his home, only Officer Dunne besides his wife knows that the child is really a white found- ling. Sam Lee is raised as Lee Ying's son. 'He is sent to Eastern College as n Chinese student and finds a social bafrivr because of his supposed Chinese blood. Bverett Himes, a blackmailer, schemes with Esther Stevens and her daughter to blackmail Lee Ying through a sup- posed affair between the daughter and Bam Lee. Lee Ying foils them but is un. able to avert newspaper publicity. Sam is expelled from college and announces that he ir roing abroad without help from Lee Ying. CHAPTER XV. Sam's experiences came swiftly om shipboard and he ruse to meet them in a way that quite surprised himself. To begin with, nobody dreamed that he was Chinese, and that was a relief; he was merely a greasy member of 'he measy crew of a greasy tramp. For that matter, his companions had littls Or no race prejudice: they were £iot- less fellows, most of them were fail- ures, and prejudice of any sort is rara among the lowly. Among these cas- uals Sam made both friends and ene- mies. Acquaintance with them did much to awaken an agreeable fee!ing LJ completely changed. I let him go on this nasquerade as a father allows his son to go out on the street at fosti- val time--to peep at life. He seems to have thrown his mask aside and joined the revelers... . I gave him much good advice, I urged him to walk with dignity but, if you will believe me, he bids fair to become a common roisterer., Let me read you--" The speaker took from his sleeve a packet of thin rice paper which Eileen re- garded with sudden interest, "Oh, gee! It's in Chinese!" she exclaimed. "Say! He's a smart kid, isn't he?" "Mind you, I have admonished him more than once that the higher type of man is firm but not quarrelsome. Listen!" With eyes that shone queer- ly Lee Ying turned several pages then read from the vertical rows of len tracks: without affording his opponent an op- portunity to arrange his charms znd talismans to better advantage, smote him with a boot. He fell at one blow under the impression that he had exn- countered a class of circumstances dif- fering radically from anything he had sought.' "'A certain renown accrued to your unworthy son as a result of this re- grettable encounter and to this day a diligent search has failed to reveal in him the slightest feeling of remorse at the occurrence.' " "The rowdy!" Eileen cried in de- light. "What's his other fight?" Lee Ying read on, smiling: "On an- other occasion, he grew resentful of the unmelodious singing of a large grease individual from the engine- room whose coarser-than-shark-skin voice and ribald verses interrupted his placid meditations. Tearing him- self from his enchanting contempla- tions, your son addressed that person of no particular attainments likening him to a turtle and consigning him to various objectionable tortures of a vile and humiliating nature.

They urged him with irresistible for long, nevertheless he is accursed with an appetite for undertakings ir which no refinew individual would take intelligent pleasure. Already he has of self-confidence and superiority, which was doubly pleasant by rea=m' of its novelty. | He left the ship in Liverpool, and, in the seclusion of a cheap bedroom in a dingy quarter he wrote to Lee Ying. | He used a brush, which he wielied skillfully and this, too, amused him, for Chinese ideographs were unwieldy things with which to recount experi- ences like his; the stately, ornate language of the flowery East was poorly fitted to describe the sordid doings of a pot-rustler on a cattle ship. One day when Eileen Cassidy drop- ped in to inquire for news of the wan- derer, Lee Ying told her: "Frankly, I'm both mystified and sstoniched at what he writes. He has engaged in two disgraceful combats of a nature which reflects no credit upon his self-restraint, albeit his repu- tation has not suffered thereby. For a time he endured patiently the offensive overbearing of a low-born kitchen per- son of abandoned manner and inele- gant habits whose chief delight iay in effecting the discomfort of others. On a certain day of propitious circurm- stances, your son was engaged in ex- alted contemplation of the sublime vir- tues when this rapacious person 2n- deavored by force to despoil him of his alleged- to- be- softer- than- others mattress. Returning from the middle air and mindful of the fact that he who moves not from his proper place is long lasting, the writer rose and, ! arguments to assail their defamer with a blunt instrument, and this he did. Who could dissent to such coun- sel? There ensued an interminable conflict in which even a longer space of time was spent in determining whose directing spirits were the most powerful. A considerable rivalry sprang up among the onlookers who vied with each other in seeing who would be the last to interfere.. " 'This person was at a disadvan- tage in regard to strength and sta- ture but he called to his assistance the cunning and the valor of his most distinguished ancestors. Those bene- volent influences graciously responded, imbuing him with feelings of a savage and yet agreeable order and confer- ring upon him a versatile dexterity which he had not conjectured to be his. Likewise they rendered their ig- noble descendant wholly oblivious to This delightful tea menu suggested by Madame R. psa iy assistant director at the Provincial School of Domestic Sci tstanding Montreal Cook- ing School, will come in very handy next time you're entertaining.

This he put an end to in course of time by smiting that de- graded person about the middle with blows that caused his liver to dissolve. It was only by reason of interference of a determined nature that the val- iant spirits of these departed war- riors were frustrated in the high- minded intention of kicking their de- famer in the face and thus terminat- ing the affair in a manner wholly sat: isfactory to their honor. ' "'Already the enviable black eye of the writer is beginning to'open to the light as the shy petals of a morn- ing glory unfold to the dawn. Alas, in another week it will have practic- ally disappeared.' " "He's proud of his first 'shiner'!" Eileen exclaimed. "He's learning to fight and he loves it." "Where's he going from Liverpool? 'What does he propose to do and who does he intend to lick next?" "His wants are few and he believes that his gift of tongues will afford him a living, He speaks of London, Paris, Beilin--" "Paris! He would! That girl is in Paris." The father shrugged, where- upon Eileen exclaimed. "So, that's where he's heading for! Gee, I'm stupid! If I knew how to wait I'd be a dumb waiter." 'Every week or so thereafter Eileen either telephoned to Lee Ying or drop- ped in to inquire for news of Sam and in spite of her contention that the im- porter was a hopeless old heathen whose beliefs were a scandal to all right-thinking people, they neverthe- less became quite cronies. Sam went on to London as soon well, and there he encountered adven- tures and, vicissitudes as interesting to him as to his heart-hungry father and his little Irish friend. At any rate, he made thom interesting in the telling, for he wrote very well and his new independence was expanding him in © miraculous manner: it was giving © an amused ard amusing outlook 1. on life as unexpected as it was un-Chinese, He was no longer the serious-minded, bulbous-browed stu- dent Eileen had known. He secured some fitful employment among the Oriental importing houses as an interpreter. He tried and failed at several jobs which he should not have undertaken and he was cheerful about his failures. Then in a certain letter came news that startled the pair at home. He was in southern France: he had become a sort of assistant to a successful English playwright and was by way of becoming a man of let- ters. His salary was small but he wag living like a nabob in a charming villa overlooking the Mediterranean: there were servants to do his bidding and he had made a friend. The how and the why of this amazing change in his fortune he set down with much av- preciation. One night in London he had wit-| nessed, from a high-perched, low- priced seat, the reigning melodramatic success of the season. It was a lurid play of the Orient and in it were sev- eral Chirese characters played hy English actors. Sam had quickly dis- covered that the author knew no more about Chinese customs and the Chinese language than did the actors who play- ed his Oriental roles, and acting upon impulse he had gone around to the stage door when the play was over. Mr. Cyril Bathurst, the dramatist, had happened to be in the theatre that night and he had turned out to be a gentleman. He had listened to Sam and had readily confessed to an abysmal ignorance of everything Chi- as his honorable black eye had grown | most agreezble and approachable| Along a wall, Set one way Any wall warm Wall."

RISKING NUR Q Indian Summer (Muddy River) (Written for The Christian Science Monitor Out in November's softened glow, Her spicy fragrance in the air, A spell is on the siglits we know, The old dull things grow strange and rare: Golden enchantment over trees and stream, The quiet, hazy brocding of a dream. om The sluggish pond, once brown and dull, Blows now in shimmering yellow light, Those reeds we thought unbeautiful Standing transformed, erect and bright, Gold-tipped like spea-s, they guard the water's edge, Serried battalions of the bronzed sedge. The lustrous oak leaves yonder burn Like greenish bronze, such as one sees In some old wreath-bound classic urn, In courts amid the cypress trees, Where fountains plash; brown spots the greenness stain For all the years out in the sun and rain! The soft, warm air, the burnished leaves, 4 The golden ears that promise much, The ripening of the harvest sheaves, Transfigured all by Midas' touch, Which brings the heart's fulfillment, care's release, With golden gifts of plentitude and peace. --Charlotte F. Babcock. ---- U.S. Constitution Allows President More than 2 Terms The Constitution of the United States, says "The Pathfinder," does not limit the number of times a person may be elected President. The two- term rule is merely an unwritten law, based on précedent and tradition. Technically it would be constitutional for a person to serve ag President just as many times as he could be elected."
