"You come in," the coolie, who was holding a chopper and looked dangerous, was reported. to have said, "and I'll open that head of yours. Do you see?" The Indian did see, and brought other tactics into play to save his scalp. At about three o'clock, yester day afternoon an Indian constable on duty in Third Street, West "Point, saw a coolie carrying two military swords which were wrapped in a bit of rag, "Come here," cried the policeman, "stop a minute, What have Pow Kai Sun "you there?"—The coolie-did-not-stop-to-daily--Anonymous”; words with the policeman, but took to his heels, Chang Pi Sup with the Indian in hot pursuit. The coolie disappeared into a side lane, and like a dash of lightning he mounted the staircase of a house, and into the first floor of the building. The Indian swung round the corner in fine style, but lost track of his quarry. He picked up the scent again and located the coolia in the house, The Chinaman in the hurry of hiding the swords and arming himself with a chopper forgot to lock the door when he entered the house. When he heard the Indian coming up the steps the conile went about to put the

enemy out.
