There were Dora, May, Mildred, and. Estelle. Each of them bad her lover, each hoped, to marry, and marry well. And there was old yellow Dee, crawling from .his hows# to hist office and back, wearing carpet slippers at hom«i eating with chopsticks—but he ate his heathen meals In his own. room. The girls adored their father, but— *W a go out of things,*' sighed Dora, "He’s never learned to adjust him­ self,. and he doesn't care.” What was going on behind those inscrutable Mongolian eyes’? Leewas thinking; he was. the shrewdest man in the islands, . One da,y he announced a dinner pa; ty, Leers announcements amounted to conumlnds, The four young men were lilted—nobody else. There was Clafln„4,he young navaj officer, Hersh- fleld, whose father owned several hundred acres of pineapple plantation, Jackson, a thriving young business man, and Howard, of the civil service. ; The Lee girls had good sense and discrimination ,ia the selection o f their; admirers. It was a Chinese-American banquet, and the wine—Lee. always had good wlner—was excellent. The party grew merry. Old Lee’s black eyes wrinkled up In amusement and pride as he Surveyed the gathering. ’ What a , change from the paddy- fields In which he had walked, a bare­ footed boy, long years before. After .the banquet a visitor was an­ nounced. It was Mr. Qregson, a local lawyer who had, charge pf Lee’s, af­ fairs. Lee stood up. He had always . hitherto spoken pidgin English—it hhd been so hard for his daughters to get Into communication with '•him. But now a sort Of mask Seemed to have fallen froni him, and his accents were as mellifluous as those of a Harvard man, ' / That*was what shocked everybody Into'silence, - ’ "Well, gentlemen,” Lee began, "yon have come here at my invitation to­ night, and we have had a good time together. I now propose that each of you sign a marriage contract which -ia-heing. draws1up, .Hport your maw?-, ingmy daughters, a *ettlemsnt.of*two hundred thousand dollars is made upon each of you My daughter's are Similarly provided for.- If any of you gentlemen, wishes to draw back—” ‘-‘No, no 1” they shouted. The contracts were drawn up and signed, Another visitor was an­ nounced, It proved, to be a clergy­ man; "Gentlemen,” said Lee, "marriage licenses have already .been procured. The marriages’ will ■now be solemn- i*ed.” -• - , • /•, ,v Twenty minutes. later the four Lee girls looked blushlrtgly Into the faces of the four astounded and delighted, young, men. "Gentlemen,” said Lee, "my home Is yours for your honeymoon." All Arrangements have been made. I have to go away on a short business trip; When I return, If there is any*' thing to be discussed, It shall be dis­ cussed.?’ He kissed each of his daughters. ,who hung about his neck, shook hands with his soha-ln-law, and was gone be­ fore anything more could be’ said. Two minutes later a Chinese coolie, attired in a filthy cotton blouse, Wa* slinking toward the Wharf. Three Months Inter an aged China­ man and his aged wife stood togethei on the edge of the paddy fields neat Canton. .. “Heaven has not blessed me with much wealth,” he said, "hut It has brought me back in my old age With enough money to render tliy future safe, and that of our slk-Chlldren and their descendants.” “O Learned'One, it Is well to re tufa to lay your bones In your own land after so long an exile.” "Truly, Heaven has smiled upon us,” replied the old man, - "So our Iasi days shall be peaceable together, sur­ rounded by the sons and daughters oi our youth.” Chines* Are Rofortotlng.
