By ANTHONY REIMERT A ♦Xh*mXhXmX**}m ^ i'jz-1, %Vestern Newspaper Union.) \7L7K ALL took a natural Interest * * In Lin Loo, chop suey restaurant proprietor. In the first place, lie was i member of the Presbyterian church, and In the second he was the only Chiirttmnn in town. This Interest was naturally en hanccd when there appeared on the scene suddenly a pretty little Chinese wife. And it rose to boiling point when he brought to the Rev. Mr. Sturgis Jones a tiny baby to be christened. It howled as lustily ns any Cau casian infant when the water was poured on it. That assured Lin Loo's standing In the community. Thence forward all Rocklngton took a pride In its two Christian, civilized Mon golian adults and Its one Mongol United States citizen. The business of the chop sue.v restaurant went up by leaps and bounds. Someone, learning that Lin Loo's deposit at the hank was a heavy one, even proposed nom inating him for village trustee. How ever, as Lin Loo was not a citizen, and couldn't become one, the proposal came to nothing. Spring brought its annual crop of infantile disorders. Measles and mumps—nothing to white children, but dentil to Mongolians. Tlie little baby sickened and died. “It might have teen malignant smallpox." aid I tool or Harrington. “No one could have saved it." inn inn lore up under me mow. ‘‘He's taking it like a white man and a Christian,” said the Rev. Sturgis Junes admiringly. “They’ll get over it when the next one comes," said Mrs. Sturgis Jones, with one of tlioae feminine glances that are so significant. Three months later pretty little Mrs. Lin Loo was dead. She_ was burled with the new-horn baby beside her. Lin Loo was left alone. Not a change appeared upon Ids stolid, smiling Mongol face. “But lie feels it,” said Rev. Sturgis Jones. “Don’t believe for a moment that lie hasn’t any feeling. These Chinese have a wonderful power of self-con trol.” Opinion was divided on that point. But outwardly tills second blow had left Lin Loo unscathed. lie stiil pre sided over the chop suey restaurant, his voice wSs still raised In the hymns on Sundays. Whatever the inward change, he had succeeded in conceal ing his feelings from the eyes of tlie world. “He’ll get another wife." suggested Mrs. Sturgis Jones. But no other Chinese bride ap peared, and Rockington gradually for | got the tragedy that had wiped out the family of its one Chinese inhab itant. However, t lie chop suey res taurant continued to prosper. Then an astonish'ng tiling occurred. Loo was not in ids seat at church one Sunday. And tlie restaurant was r closed. The Rev.

Western Newspaper Union ) I HARDLY knew the printer who lived In the next room at Mrs. Sohweepe’s boarding houg’c. That is to say I knew him intimately, when he hnd been Imbibing, but he was apt to forget me the next day. He kept very much to himself, exeept when he had been celebrating, and then he was apt to expand much. But, ns the landlady said. It didn’t happen often, and Harrison was regular In his rent. Harrison—a man of fifty-five, per haps, lean, and gaunt, and gray. Spoke with an English accent, too. He had been a gentleman, was one yet. In a way. Ilis futher, still alive, was u big man In England—n general or something like that, with a string of letters after his name. He told me that—four times. He was drunk each time, so he forgot afterword. Something that he had done in youth had exiled him from the life that should have been bis. What It was, Harrison didn’t tell me, even when be was drunk. Something unforgivable, I Imagine, according to Ids code. And f<^ a quarter of a century he had been battered and buffeted by the waves of American life, never accli mating himself, losing ids British qual ities without acquiring ours. It was a tragedy. ties known better days, snid Mrs. Schweepe of him. “I guess It’s the memory of them makes him drink.” Harrison never spoke directly of his past, but Indirectly—when he was drunk and came overflowing Into my room at night—he told me about the Towers, his ancestral home—I never could pronounce the name. He told me of Lord this and Lady that, who appeared and reappeared *ln the twisted thread of his story. And one day—I hoped—I should be able to piece it together. Then come one meinornble night. “He’s had a letter,” Mrs. Schweepe said to 1119, "and lie’s drinking himself howling drunk over It. Keep him quiet If you can tonight. Tomorrow I’m go ing to tell him I’ll have to raise his rent.” Yes, Harrison certainly was drunk that night. He came Into my room, staggering. But he wasn’t noisy drunk. There was a quiet satisfaction In him. “Barlow,” he said, "you been goo' friend to me. I’m going back to Eng land. Know my name? Sir Henry Harrison." He laughed. “Old man's dead. 'I’m going back to"—something —“Towers." “Have a h—I of a time now, old Bar low. All that’s coming to me. Five thousand a year. Take you with me, ole Barlow, because you’ve been goo’ friend of mine. And listen!” He told me of a girl who had prom ised to wait for him. He was sure she was waiting still—she had sworn she would—though he had never writ ten or heard from her In all these years. An old woman—but he thought of her as a girl. “You come ahing. be bailiff of my es state, Barlow, ole man." he hiccoughed, as he passed out. He sang a little that night, but was more quiet than of wont. I went to business next day and forgot him. The landlady opened the door to me In the evening, “lie’s very ill," she said. “Tlie doctor says he drank enough bootleg whisky to poison a regiment. He’s asking for you." I went up to Harrison's room. He lay on the bed. A strangely aristo cratic look had come upon Ids white face. He lay there with glassy eyes. He was too far gone to recognize me. Mrs. Schweepe came to the door. “The doctor thinks he’ll die,” she wtils perea. HarriSon did die—at five o’clock the next morning. Died without recogniz ing me—so I lost lhat job ns bnllllY at Something Towers. Died murmuring one name over and over: “Edith.” And then, “I’m coming, Edith. I’m coming home, I guess." And then, “Forgot. Mustn’t suy ‘guess’ In the Old Country." I saw him, when I had closed his eyes, lying on the bed with that strangely aristocratic look on his face. I hunted for the letter afterward, but there was no sign of It. There were a few charred and unintelligible frag ments In the wastebasket. Harrison’s body was never claimed. He was buried"at my expense, to save him from the potter’s field, and Mrs. Schweepe added her mite. I’ve often wondered about Harrison—and the girl In England.

They will not be jostled, except by friends, and they are not particularly amiable even about that. Only a few weeks ago I was stand ing at the intersection of two of the largest streets In New York, waiting— like a countryman and a law-abiding citizen, but like no one else—for the traffic signals to be right for me to croB*, when a very nice-looking girl kneed nle In the back and, pushing me aside, remarked, "Get out of the way, you darned fool I” To which I confess that I retorted with the utmost fervency. “And I hope to thunder you get killed I" Reflecting about this afterward, I came to the conclusion that such an In cident would never have happened had the girl and I met in the gracious si lence and spaciousness of the Rocky mountains.

SCIENCE SEEKS BIRTH PLACE OF MAN IN MONGOLIAN DESERT Andrews Again Heads Party Hoping To Find Traces of Man a Million and a Half Years Old. Having established to t)heir own satisfaction the fact that man existed 600,000 years ago, scientists will now attempt to trace his origin back an other million years. Led by Roy Chapman Andrews, who returned from Asia a year ago with a nest of 26 dinosaur eggs ten million years old, another expedition sailed from the United States May 25th for China. Thence the party will proceed into the heart of the Gobi desent, in Mongolia, where it is hoped a five year search will reveal further amaz ing secrets concerning the early life of man, beast and reptile. As in the previous expedition, the scientists will rely on American-built motor cars and trucks for transporta tion, although roads are unknown in most of the vast territory to be ex plored. Mr. Andrews recently visited Dodge Brothers factory in Detriot, where five cars were being equipped for the expedition. Mr. Andrews ex pressed great satisfaction with the new equipment and repeated that he attributed a great share of the suc cess of his last expedition to the re markable endurance of Dodge Brothers cars. These made it possible to ac complish a 30-year task in three years. In view of this experience it was only natural that he should again insist upon Dodge Brothers cars for his next expedition. Fifteen scientists representing twelve branches of learning, chosen from 4,000 applicants constitute the party. While scientists differ on the sub ject, especially since the discovery of the 600,000-year-old Foxhill man in England, Mr. Andrews is of the belief that man evolved in Asia and that it will be in the younger rocks of Man golia, if anywhere, that traces of his first activities will be found. He is strongly supported in this theory by such an eminent scientist as Henry Fairfield Osborn who was referred to by William Jennings Bryan, in their famous debate on evolution, as “a tall professor who comes down out of the trees to push good people who believe in God off the sidewalk. “When we found the ten-million year-old dinosaur eggs, we were ex amining rocks older than humanity," said Mr. Andrews. “But now we are going to the rocks where human re mains are more likely to exist. It is a gamble, but we think the prospects justify gambling.” In their quest the scientists will push farther west than they have ever gone before, working both to the north and the south of the Altai Mountains. As the beginning of exploration will be made about 1,000 miles from the nearest base, Kalgan, it will be neces sary to organize with especial care. Arrangements have been made for 200 camels to carry provisions ahead of the motor trucks. J. M. Seybold is the Dodge repre sentative in O'Neill.
