But thers was no waiting upon this occaston for me to demonstrate that my decision was the inevi. table. Junior had let go of my #kirts when Lee Chow Dbegan to speak, and sidled forward like an active little crab until he was close beside the man with his face filled with childish admiration, uplifted to that of the Chnese, I watched, him in the fascinated fl'onder‘ Which 7 am still a new-enough mother to feel toward my child's actions, and presently his hand | stole out and pulted Lee Chow's slecve, “I llke you — lots,” he said. “May 1 help you build the fire?” 1 realized belatedly that by turn-) ing over the fire-bullding to Lee Chow, 1 had deprived both Junior and Marion of hglping with that, piece of work. a task upon which | both of them had counted. T took ! a quick step forward with the idead of iuterfering in their behalf, but, saw before T could speak that there | was no slightest reason for my in- terference. “or Lee Chow was bending to- ward the child with the utmost gentieness and a touch of deference | which never had been shown to Junior before.

Then he turned to Marion standing a few feet away, (rymgi hard not to betray her disappoint- ment., ) i Ratie Is Jealous “Lil' boss lady like help, too,” he asked, not clipping his words short as he had done with me, but enunciating clearly as he had spoken to Junior, Marion with the docility and curtesy, which are hers both by in- stinct and as the result of her{ mother's wise training, looked at me hefore she answered, but at my assenting nod, and murmured, “Of course, “dear,” her face lighted up As it someone had sudden)y turned on an electric light behind ft, and she sprang toward Lee Chow, eag- exclaiming: Oh, 1'd love to. And may T try to light the fire with one match?. I can do it. I'm sure.” Lee Chow bowed suavely. “Lil' boss lady smart,” he said, smiling at her but I detected the disbelief beneath the words.
