He is one of the type of border semi-civilisation, six feet four inches in height, with a frame like a Hercules and a face on whiph the lines of firmness, decision and command are sharply ent He has very white and even teeth and shows them often, fbr he smiles frequently. An admirer of his re marked to me: “When Martin’s nose comps down to meet his lip, and his lip ^oes tip to meet his nose, andthose teeth of his glisten and shine, why look out. He means business.” I was waiting for the accommodation train to leave the “end of the track” when I formed his ac-' quuintanee. lie itu* man of intelligence and thoroughly informed on the subject of Oliinese character peculiarities. Ho speaks the language fluently and can de cipher the hieroglyphics on a “washeo- washee” bill at sight. While we were talking, the foreman of the track-laying gang came into the ear. “Ah, Martin," he said, “I have been looking for you. One of those-fellows who deserted lust month has returned, and tho interpreter says that he has in. duct'd half the men to quit and go across (he country to the Sunset Extension. He is down among tny gang now',” “He is, is he?” quulh Martin, and tho peculiar falling down of nose and flying up <>f lip disclosed his white teeth. “I’ll fix him.” — L — — —r Ho picked up a henVy lullet of wood as he finished speaking, and invited uiO/ a to go along and “see the fun.” I went. The obnoxious Cliiunnnfn was in the centre of an excited group of bis compa triots, volubly discoursing on the supe rior inducements held out to the laborers on the other road. We wore close upon him when one of the group caught sight of Martin’s white teeth and uttered a warning cry. The crowd scattered, and dfJulltigf.^onijpirator turned to flee. Too late,! Tho billet, of wood flowthrough tho air, struck the deserter between the shoulders, and he fi ll fiat in the dust. Martin heut over him, stitt smiling, and by way of resuscitation, kicked the pvos- fiioiatt groaned and raised himself to a ’ sitting posture. Ho was ordered! to stand up and did so with some diflleulty.
