"You soon learn in China that you

anything he agrees to do for you , " says
Samuel Merwin , in Success. "When I
reached T'ai Yuan-fu I handed my in
terpreter a Chinese draft for $200
( Mexican ) , payable to bearer , and told
him to go to the bank and bring back
the money. I had known John a little
more than a week , ; .M nnv one wlx >
knows China will understand that I
was running no appreciable risk. Tbe
individual Chinaman is simply a part
of a family , the family is part of a
neighborhood , the neighborhood is a
part of a village or district , and so j
on. If John had disappeared with my .
money after cashing the draft , and had '
afterward been caught , punishment
would have been swift and severe. Very
likely he would have lost his head. If
the authorities had been uuahle to find
John they would "have punished his ? i
