Trouble came, We saw it coming, for we had been told that the bad character in the Chinese play was always distinguished by a darkened face with a dab of white paint on the nose. The villain appeared and I knew I wasn't going to like him. He did « song and dance, then sat do’ to tea with Montmorency and Maude. Horace Hop Tong flirted with Maude dreadfully, who, it seemed to us, encouraged him Montmorency called him down without effect. Horace had a sword bearer who looked and walked like Eddie Foy He was & rascal and no mistake, The two cooked up a scheme that was far from original.
