After Pei Ming's departure, Pao-yue continued on pins on needles and on the tiptoe of expectation. Into such a pitch of excitement did he work himself, that he felt like an ant in a burning pan. With suppressed impatience, he waited and waited until sunset. At last then he perceived Pei Ming walk in, in high glee. "Have you discovered the place?" hastily inquired Pao-yue.
"You employ such a lot of people in here that they all lead a lazy life and have nothing to put a hand to, and were I also now to introduce some more, that tribe will look even upon me with utter contempt. But let me think of some one for you. There's in the I Hung court, an old dame Yeh; she's Pei Ming's mother.
Louie Ming was putting her money into her mite box, and did not notice Rosella and Drew. "Why-ee!" whispered Rosella. "See there! Why, Drew! I do believe Louie Ming's putting every bit of her pay into her mite box! Do you suppose she knows what she's doing?" Rosella and Drew stood watching. "Do you suppose Louie Ming understands?" whispered Rosella again. "Why, she's giving it all!
Fer four nights now they'd seen him, wrapped in a blue robe, waitin' an' a-huntin' behind tombstones an' walkin' round an' round the graveyard lie a six days' race fer the belt at Madison Square. John had jus' seen him on the wall, an' that was why he come chargin' down the road like forty cats. "'Will Mr. Ming's sperrit walk till he gits that button back? Buck asts. John says: 'Sure.
I am inclined to think that the Japanese mind, as expressed in the simple tenets of the Shinto religion, was particularly open to the reception of Yang Ming's precepts.
They reached the little trail that ran up to Lee Ming's place, and Denver suggested that Mac run in with the bundle so as to save Nora the climb. "I'd like to, honest I would. But since y'u thought of it first I won't steal the credit of doing Miss Nora a good turn. We'll wait right here for y'u till y'u come back." "We'll all go up together," decided Nora, and honors were easy.
He swelled up an' give 'em a bundle o' talk that John put in Chino fer 'em, an' then finished up by showin' 'em a button a ol' United States Army brass button he'd cut off his blue blouse an' tol' 'em he was goin' ter bury it in Ming's grave so as ter keep him bedded down.
Mac departed laughing. He had an engagement that recurred daily in the dusk of the evening, and he was always careful to be on time. The other party to the engagement met him at the kitchen door and fell with him into the trail that led to Lee Ming's laundry. "What made you late?" she asked. "I'm not late, honey. I seem late because you're so anxious," he explained.
She was the Chinese girl, Louie Ming, whose father and mother had come from the city to cook for some of the owners here. "Louie Ming's got a mite box!" said Rosella. Drew laughed. "Do you suppose she'll save anything in it?" "I don't believe she will," said Rosella. Rosella and Drew carried their mite boxes into their mother's tent.
I didn't work two months, and I I'm afraid if Louie Ming hadn't loved Jesus better than I did, Drew and I wouldn't have had hardly any money in our mite boxes." The blind missionary wanted to know about Louie Ming, and Rosella told the missionary all about her. Then the blind missionary kissed Louie Ming's cheek, and said, "Many that are last shall be first."
