It was just after the exciting capture of a merchantman with the indiscriminate slaughter of all on board a spectacle on which the round blue eyes of the plump Polly had gazed with royal and maternal tolerance, and they were burying the booty two table spoons and a thimble in the corner of the closet, when Wan Lee stolidly rose. "Melican boy pleenty foolee!
But the other 'Melican man did not wake up, and Bill Crane got away with his booty, as we already know. Cautiously the Chinaman followed him, and ascertained where he intended to pass the night. It was at a moderate distance from the cabin which the two Chinamen had selected for their mining camp. Bill Crane jumped from his horse, stretched his limbs, and gaped.
Only a minute did this continue, however, and then the parasol vanished as quickly as it had appeared. The Chinaman roiled the piece of bamboo in his hands and that, too, disappeared. Then he stood still in the middle of the room and bowed right and left. "Me allee samee velly smartee Chinee, so be," he observed, blandly. "Me likee Melican mans velly muchee."
"No washee," said the Christian Chinaman; "you killed Melican man's Joss," meaning that the Jews crucified the Christ. The more you delve into the religions of the Americans the more anomalies you find. I asked a New York lady at Newport if she had ever met Miss , a prominent Chinese missionary. She had never heard of her, and considered most missionaries very ordinary persons.
"You see, his Celestial Majesty came to me himself the other day, and said, after sundry and various preliminaries, that he should be 'velly much glad' when the 'Little Missee' came to live with me, for then he could go back to China with a heart at rest, as he had money 'velly much plenty' and didn't wish to be 'Melican man' any longer."
With stealthy steps these two innocent heathen drew near the spot, and looked searchingly at the recumbent form of the eminent representative of American civilization. Ah Sin turned to Ah Jim with a pleased smile. "All light!" he said. "'Melican man asleep." A similar smile lighted up the face of Ah Jim. "'Melican man sleep sound," he said; "no wake up."
So, when this Chinaman handed back the drawing to Jo, Quang Po smiled and said the kindest thing he could think of, although the drawing did not accord with his Chinese ideas of art. "You draw like Melican," said Quang Po, winding his queue about his head, and preparing to return to work. Jo felt somewhat ashamed. He wished that he and the other boys had not cut the sinkers off Quang Po's big net.
Like a flash the Chinaman slid to his knees and extending his hands above his head touched his forehead to the ground three times in front of Peggy. Then rising he exclaimed: "Melican girl, gleat joss, mighty joss. Ah Sing he come bymby. Goo'bye." He turned swiftly and silently in his silken slippers and glided off without a backward look. "Well, what do you make of that?" wondered Roy.
