After nzing at her intently, the figure glided noiseless into the office, and said to one of the clerks: ““Melican gal muches likee Chinee,” The “Molican gal” referred to lushed with embarrassment and indignation. She didn’t fancy being likened to thoso ladies with small feot nnd queer faces who disport_themselves upon fans and banners. The clerk started to say that be could see no resemblance, but the Celestial had departed as noisclessly as he came in, The next day and the next the yollow man in blue clothes stood silently at the window and gazed at the pretty little girl, who grew more and more nervous at this dumb admiration.

He entered the office in a garb the mikado might have envied, so richly was it embossed and embroidered with things that swam and crawled and flew. In his hand he held a lignted yellow can- dle that the Chinese used as an hour- glass. Placing it before the startled girl at the type-writer, he said solemnl, “*Mally while light burn.” The rl, in mortal terror of being espoused by somoe compelling celestinl rite, snatched the candle and blew it ad then the Chinamun, showing for the first time some human cmotion, left her presence with a fuce one de- gree more passionless and solemn.
