Wong was placid, industrious, and very amiable, but beneath all this he must have had nerves, as I suppose Chinamen have, in common with other people.
He slept in a shack near the bunk house, and carried his industry so far that at night he would do all the washing that was to be done at the ranch house, for which he was paid extra.

And here was the boys' chance.
Injun was like most other boys when it came to mischief, and Whitey taught him the ancient game of tick-tack.

In case you don't know it, I'll tell you how it's done.
To make a tick-tack get a long string, the longer the better; meaning the longer the safer.

Then get a small fish-hook, and tie it to the end of your string, and tie a little stone about eight inches below your fish-hook.

Select a dark night and the window of the person whose nerves you wish to disturb.
