"What had you to do with that?" I enquired "I had a good deal to do with it. It was like this.

"I thought of that plas" said Honoria proudly. "You see, it would not have done for Sir Herbert's sailors to have followed us openly, as the Chinese would have balted and Sir Herbert wanted to catch old Chang with me in his possession.". -

Old Chang jumped up and tried to draw a revolver from under his baju, I lifted up my leg and flipped the old gentleman's spectacles off his nose with my bare foot As neatly as a conjurer would do. I was afraid he might shoot me: His surprise kept him still for a moment. Before he could make up his mind how to act, in burst Dickie, Templeton and about twenty dear old bluejackets."

A few months azn the London pavisa Parker undertook the labour of conducting the Sun, a Loadou evening paper, in order to show. journalists how to do it. He is now followed by Mr. Dan Len, who will show from his point of view how it should be done. Dan Leno chose the 1st of April as an appropriate day for thủ venture, and the following are a few clippings from his paper :-

As a matter of fact I knew beforehand of the whole affair. My' Chinese ayah laid the trap for them: That ayah was worth her weight in gold, and Sir Herbert knew it when he sent her to me. The Ameri- can was introduced to me by Chang, and pre-petency, tended to be smitten at once. I encouraged bim all I know, I suspected from the first that Chang was up to something crooked, so I gave the ayah the tip." Honoria paused to light a cigarette, and sip a brandy cocktail.
