LEE SONG,
THE CHINESE
HATCHET-BOY
By ALBERT W. TOLMAN
ir abort aiorr Pun. ce.)
LEK'HONU, aijuattlng at mliliilghl
In a bark awnt of the emoker,
drowsily Inhuled the warm
fume of bl cigarette, a he
blinked through the latiii.il It reek on
tha line of aleeplngtnen sprawled
along the aldea nf the cur,' 111 face,
round, unwrtnkli'd, guileless, pro
clalmeil hlin ail ordinary Inoffensive
Chinaman.
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."
