The Steam Collier<br />

&quot;Yohara!&quot; called the Doctor to the Jap, who had<br />

walked solemnly away during the last words.<br />

Come<br />

back. You don t have to burn your yo-kin. You re a<br />

good boy, and here s half a dollar for you.<br />

Take the<br />

yo-kin back and hang it up, and if anybody attempts to<br />

burn it I ll jump on him stiff-legged.&quot;<br />

&quot;I must not burn?&quot; asked Yohara, pocketing the<br />

coin and patting his instrument affectionately.<br />

&quot;Oh,<br />

I do not want to burn ! I love yo-kin to my heart ;<br />

but<br />

I sinking I must burn.&quot;<br />

&quot;<br />

No no nothing of the the Doctor in<br />

sort,&quot;<br />

sisted stoutly.<br />

&quot;I ll burn my<br />

instrument case first.<br />

Take it back and hang<br />

it up.&quot;<br />

&quot;<br />

Sank you, sir sank you,&quot;<br />

said Yohara, in his<br />

soft little speech, and starting back to his coop near<br />

the scullery.<br />

&quot;I<br />

very glad<br />

I must not burn. But if<br />

ship cannot go to San Fran-cis-co, I will burn I will<br />

burn.&quot; He hugged the yo-kin close to his breast and<br />

went away.<br />

&quot;Talk about your self-denial,&quot; said my medical<br />

friend,<br />

&quot;<br />

&quot;<br />

doesn t that beat all ?<br />

&quot;<br />

You re right,&quot;<br />

said Mr. Lovell,<br />

&quot;<br />

and I m ashamed<br />

to think I laughed. Hope he didn t notice it. They re<br />

mighty sensitive little fellows, those Japs.&quot;<br />
