That Chinese slave girl traffic is "going on right under the noses of our city officials" was the statement made by Dr. Charles R. Shepherd of Los An geles, California, general missionary among the Orientals, at the Northern Baptist Convention in this city today. "I know from personal experience and not from hearsay that this is a fact," he declared, citing the instance of a Chinese girl 16 years old sold in San Francisco for $2,700. In speaking of the tongs of the coun try, Dr. Shepherd said. "These tongs are not only an insult to the churches of America, they are an insult to the great Masonic order. Over the entry way of one of the bloodiest and most ; powerful fighting tongs in America, is '. the sign 'Bing King Tong, Free Mas ons, It masquerades as a Masonic lodge, while it is made up of those who engage in the traffic in Chinese girls, who labor to frustrate our lawst who plan bloody murder, and pay profession al assassins to carry out their plans."

While it lay uuon a sandbar off Staten Island, a watch-! man and a restaurant owner, carrying a shotgun and . a carving knife, ended the young visitor's life.

Holconnb RED FOX SEES THE CHIEF. When Tinker Bob saw Jack, the Rabbit, pass at top speed he could not imagine for a moment what could be the matter. It isn't . likely that Jack ever dreamed that Tinker was so close at hand when he was making his flying trip or he would have stopped. Then Redwing began to scream from the top of the Oak that he saw someone following close on the trail of Jack. "It's Red Fox," he cried, darting down to where the King was. Suddenly another flash, and .sure enough Red Fox darted by. That was a surprise to the King for he left Red E-tx tucked in bed with Bil:y Mink. But he'd gotten out all right for the bandage was still on his noss and so the King knew it was .10 strange creature. One eye. was un covered so he could see, but how he got on the track of Jack, the Rabbit, was a mystery. He was hot after him anyway and the King watched. Jackk led him a merry chase right around in a circle but Red Fox be gan to gain on him and before Jack realized it he was upon him and it was necessary to do some fast running and do it quickly. Willie Chuck's hole was notfar away and Jack made for it with all of his might over th old logs and -through the thicket. It was too far for him to consider go ing to the Brier Patch; if he did Red Fox would overtake him and it wou'd all be over. Willie Chuck lived in a hole beneath a, large forest tree, and just as Jack jumped into the hole Red Fox was close enough to pull a few hairs out of his stubby tail. But he got into the hole just the same and was safe for the roots prevented Red Fox from digging him out. "I'll tell you I came close to getting hold of your tail and if I had I would have pulled every hair out of it," said Red Fox as ho shoved his bandaged nose deep into the hole. "But you didn't get a good hold," re plied Jack, "so my tail is all right. And you'd better get back to the Pal ace before the King comes home or he will take the bandage off your nose and let you bleed to death." "What do you know about my no3i? I guess I know when to go home witH. out any advice from you. I want to tell you, Mr. Rabbit, if I ever get you out where you can't find a hole, or ;i Brier Patch, I'll fix you once for all." Red Fox was so mad that he pawed the earth. Jack said: "Tee-hee, you will have to catch me out first before you can do all of that." Just as Jack jumped into the hole Red Fox was close enough to pull a few hairs out of his stubby tail. Suddenly Chief Porky appeared and when Red Fox saw him -you should have seen him run, and he never stop ped till he was again in the Palace and in the King's bed.
