It was one of the young fellows with whom I had spoken so short a time before. The last act 198 THE ATTACHE AT PEKING LET .
of this horror is consummated in the Pit of tfie 10, 000 (Wan Jen K'eng) by the wolves and foxes, a pit in the Chinese city where the bodies of executed criminals are thrown. Rich people'...s bodies are bought back by their families that they may receive decent burial.
