That immobile expression he always wears is a screen to his innermost soul. But he has troubles, cares and worries, and they bother him the same as a “white man.”That “chink” has never recovered from his rtrst venture in the pool of matrimony.He disclosed his secret yearning for the white woman who deserted him after taking his entire fortune, $700, yesterday. Jung would have never murmured his love affairs to a soul had he not swooned from the assault made upon him by robbers Wednesday night. Then and there, as he was wandering forth through the realms of unconsciousness, he talked— incoherently* and in that mysterious way of a Chinaman. But his cousin countryman, a laundryman, heard him. He told what Jung was saying.The chop suey artist had been sitting up all day bathing his swollen and bruised face. He was surrounded bythose few stray Chinese who are in Joplin. Suddenly he dropped forward and would have fallen to the floor had he not been caught. A bamboo cot stood near by and they carried it to him. All the while he was muttering something that sounded like “Ummingglot a batrning singa bah.”“He say,” said one of the other Chinese, “that he wants his wrlfe to cometo him.”Then came a chatter of the other Chinese among themselves. Then one of them laughed. Evidently this was a signal for all of thorn to laugh, for they all joined hands and let out unearthly screeches that put another visitor’s teeth on edge.“You know what we laugha at?” asked the interpreter. “We think it alia samee a big a joke. Hea stilla love samee girl who steal alia his money.’”Then they joined in another chorus of mirth and Jung “came to.”Junge’s face was as expressionless as a vitrified zrick. His countrymen started to “kid” him, but he did not say a word. They laughed, but not a wrinkle of his mouth so much as moved. Then two big hot tears burned their way through those black and blue eyelids and slowly wended their way down the cheeks. At this the others shut up. They gazed down at him with the same blank expression that he had looked at them.But their hearts must have been touched, for they carefully fixed Jung’s bed for him, carried him in that little booth in the rear of the restaurant and left him there,“Hea stilla loves the samee white girl who alia a samee takes a his a money,” said one. “That is all. He lonesome. He no fella alia samee good. You know how it would a be.”“It is alia same a dam shame. Meli-cans bad* men no treat him alia samee right. He a good square a John Chinee-man and he will spend alia our dollars to geta even with whoever a hurt him. He belly gooda man. Melicari nevera get a hurt in our country.”Then he shut up and would not utter another word. He stalked to the front door and all of the others filed after him witli their hands in their sleeves. They walked out and left their cousin to hisown solitude.Jung Ling has had a “barrel of trouble.” He was born in China thirty-three years ago. He never learned the English language to any extent. Five years ago he came direct to Joplin from Canton. He had several cousins in the laundry business here. They urged him to invest his few dollars in a chop suey restaurant. Jung did and he has had worry ever since.His troubles began after he married a white woman. That woman he met in Joplin, the wedding, with the usualChinese flourish, took place in his restaurant. They seemed to be happy forseveral months. They never had trouble. Jung was making money.He had laid his “seven hundred washers” to one side. His wife knew where it was. One night after they had gone to bed she carefully reached under an oriental rug and dragged out an ebony money box. She tucked all of the hills in her stocking. The other cash she carried in her handbag. Jungo awoke the next morning to find his wife and fortune gone. The Chinese did not “howl. He took it philosophically.Shortly after this Jung’s place was raided. A large quantity of opium wasfound hidden under a bed in one of bis little lounging booths. It cost the poor “chink another $200 to get out of this.But that was not all. A few weeks later some of his American friends called on him and ordered everything in the house. Then they wanted to walk without paying; In fact they did,Jung followed excitedly, snootinglittle 22-calibre revolver. Again proved “meat.” for it cost him another $25 for disturbance.Not long aft«fr a Caucasian individual came in and bounced a billiard ball off of his head. There was a negro girl working in the rear. She saw the act and chased the assailant out with thesame revolver.Then again Wednesday—well. the chink’s face shows the result of theand his pocketbook the outcome robbery.John.outbuthisheassaultof the PoorMme.
