Under Less feet lay hla struw ex tenaloo cage. It contained Teat a ment and several Chinese trmta. but alio the tool of hla trade a bulldog revolver, a lung, narrow knife and a tout cord. A poor workman quarrel with hi tool but I.ee Hong never quarreled wlt,'i hi. The cord wi new and un frayed, the knife ground keen, and every chamber of the aoven-ahooter loaded. It waa le'i attention to de tail, joined with certain other ainlr able qualltlea, Uiat had made him the foremoat batchut-boy of the I.lu Kwen Tong. I.ee Hong tit an artlat, cither at premeditated aaauialnallon or Im promptu murder. In hi makeup wu nothing aptK-taculur, no bouatlng or bravado, I'tatol butt and knlfe-huft allowed no nutchea but be never failed to get hla man. When the Tong eeiid I.e Bong aft er you, you are a good aa dl-ad al ready, and may aa well get incaaured for your coflln. On till apeclnl night the hatchet boy waa bound for a certain city to end a Inundryman mimed Hilly Wing to tleep bealde hla futhera. Why tha Tung wanted Hilly killed wa Imma terial to Lea, III bualuea waa ".Imply to obey, to atrlke like UyliUilug. like lightning to. dlaupieur. The job promUed to be a almple one. I-ee amoked dreamily. Ilia aoul waa at peace, aav when he thought of hi only eon, who had died a month before, livery time the little white raaket roe before I.ee rye a devil who atood bealde hliu night and day ran a aharp dagger Into hla heart Ho often had the devil done thla that the pot waa very aore. All night he journeyed, eleeplng and waking, and at early dawn came to the city where lived. Hilly Wing. There were few Chlneae tn the place, and I-ee rantly fiund Hilly' laundry. Knterlng, he made the opium muggier' ilgn to the proprietor, who wi wrapping up ahlrt for cua tuiner. Hilly algnaled bark, hla eye glittering. After the cuctomer went out, he aaked eagerly: "WhenT . . "Tonight at ten," anawered I.ee. Men who amoke opium ahould not In cur the Tong'a dlapleaiure. The hatchet iMiy ran an experienced eye over the laundry, alilng it up for the kill and tha get-away. Ah, yea, that bark room I The job -over, he could ahed hla fa In queue, ahift hla clothe, and allp out of town on 'a freight like a common American tramp. Aa he atarted out of the door, a lit tle Chlneae boy allpped In. The devil Blabbed I.ee aharply In the aore Bot, for the lad waa about Ave, Juat the age hkj own aon bad been. The hatrhet-man'a heart wanned toward him, and be turned back. Hilly wa Upbraiding the child for being lute. "Hon of pig I" he i reamed ahrll ly. "Where have you tfeen ao longr With a buffet he aent hlin reeling Into a corner. The little fellow picked hltuaclf up without whimper, and dlaappeared Into the back room, rub bing hla head. I.ee finger drew up toward lomethlng In hi aleeve. lie wlahcd It were ten o'clock at night now. "Til Jlng, the ion of my brother, who died with hi wife of the fi'ver lat iprlng," explained Hilly. "Would the boy hud died with them. He la not worth the food he rata or the clothe he wear. I cun auv no money while he la with inc." I.ee replied nothing. Hilly wua go ing thut night where money would not be needed. All thut day the hutchet-hoy lurked In the outBklrta of the city. He thouKht much of little Jlng, and of Hilly' cruelty to hlin, and the apot over hi heart waa very aore. Hut he could not kill the Inundryman, until he re ceived final order, at even that night, from the Tung. rromplly on the hour he wa at the poat office. The general delivery clerk bunded him letter containing a w hite hevt, entirely bluuk. It upper right hand corner allowed a alight nail-murk. Thl wiih made by the right forefinger of the chief of the Tong. It algnllled that Hilly ihould live. Lee Song felt the devil' dagger again. He had plunncd thut aftcnoon to adopt little Jlng, after Hilly hud gone to hla father. Surely disap pointed, he pondered, walking In the duak. At laat he cume to a decision. He would kill Hilly on hla own ac count, and take the boy. True, It waa somewhat Irregular but the Tung' rule did not forbid the aveng ing of a private feud, and Hong took Hllly'i abuse of Jlng aa peraonul matter. At quarter to ten he atarted for Bil ly' laundry. A crowd of young hoodlum on a corner hooted and hue tied the mild Chlnttman, and turned him back. Bong bore It meekly. Hut tlnjr would not have bustled trim, bad they known what lay hid In the secret pocket up hi broad sleeve. It was liulf pjid ten before h tupped on (he luuudry door. Hilly opened It quickly. "Vuu ur late," grunted he resent fully. He did not enjoy being cheated of hi amoke. "15 content," anilled Lee Hong. "Vuu hall have enough prexently." In a box In the buck room Jlng lay Mleep, curled up like a kllren. Hilly did not even look at him. Out of hi sleeve he shook two packet of opium. "Try thla, before you buy," uld he; ml Hilly snutched It greedily. Kach produced hla pipe, . and they begau to moke. for the first five minutes between whiff, Hilly talked of tunton; for the second five he spoke occnNlonally In monoaylluble; the third five he smoked In silence ; suililrtily the pip twitched from hi flnucm, and he tum bled bark on the bunk. Hurely, It was strong opium. Lee Hong, watching him cat-like, laid down hi own pipe, and stood up. T' time hud come for Hilly to join his fu ther. There are pistol-Jobs, and knife job, and rope-Joba. -Thl was to he a rope job. From hi sleeve Lee produced a cord Skilfully illpplng it round Hil ly' neck, he rolled hlin over on hla face. , Crowing the rope ends the hutchet hoy grasped one firmly In each bund. Ill anna atlffened. A strong, steady pull would oon do the buslneaa. Hut Hilly snored peacefully on. Lee Houg'e gorge rose. Dlaguat poa seaaed III in; not pity, for hatchet-boya know no pity. It waa a Job for a nov ice, a - bungleiv unworthy finished artist 'Hah !" he granted. "It Is too eay. I kill men, dot plga." Contemptuously pulling nut the cord he rolled Hilly over again on hi back. Then he stepped to the box w here Jlng liy curled, and shook him lightly. "Come," he aald. The boy atarted up, looked at hlin a moment In aleepy wonder, then un hesitatingly at ret died out hi arms. The hiitchet-mnn lifted him, and passed Into he night Two hour later Lee Hong ut In the corner of the smoking car, hound for the great city. In hi ami luy Jlng, fust asleep, one hand tightly clasping Hong'a right forefinger, that terrible finger which had sent so many Chinamen to Join their father. The hatchet-boy looked down on the little black head In the hollow of hla arm. He pressed the llnip. thin bixty against nla breosr, and felt the qulck beatlng heart and the gentle breath ing. Ilia room In Motl street wqutd be brighter with thla little fellow play ing tn It. A wave of Btrar.ge tenderness ajrept over Lee Kong. Again the devil Blubbed him. but hla dagger waa bluuted. The aore place did not hurt so much. Ill Hps wire silent, but In hi heart be aald: 1 "It la good to have a little boy."

The family happened to have tin Inherent dislike for all member of another family. Tha phyalclun wisely thought of a plan.

He auld: Thut' the way with them 11 a, they are always dyln' off.'" "You jusf tell Hill Jackson," ahe said hotly, Bitting up In her bed, "that there ain't Bothtn' the matter with Nuncy II- and thnt the H 'a ain't no race .to luy down and die like the Jackson are."
