FE YELLOW SEVEN: \ THE DAUGHTER | ) OF CHALAUNG, Quer strvice meses. This. unusual series of stories deals with the exploits of “Chinese” Pennington, a detective sent by his government to British’ North Bornco to run to earth The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits. Pennington met Brabazon stund- ing outside the Rest House af Jes- selton, his hands stuck in his poc- kets, following with evident udmir- jation the asy, elegant gait of a Malay girl who was making her way toward the harbor. “Pennington, by all ‘that’s won- derful!” 4 The taller man extended a hand. “I've been here thgee solid months —and I didn’t know you wer2 on the island. How are you?” “Fit as a fiddle! Come in and have a sling.” “Chinese” Pennington looked at his watch. “I can give you half-an-hour, old son,” he told him. “I'm due at the Commissioner’? ut four.” He followed Brabazon up rickety stairs to the veranda that overlook- ed the road. He dropped into a chair and his companion perched himself on the arm of it, beaming all over his broad, handsome face. “Still at the same game?” he in- quired, piishing forward his case. Pennington nodded. “Still hunting down the world’s worst criminals! No thanks, I roll my own.” He produced a rubber pouch and began manipulating the flimsy pa- per. Brabazon tapped his cigaret on his thumb. “Three months!” he ejaculated presently. ‘That's a spell of time ae you to stop in, one locality, isn’t it?” The tall man with the Chinese ‘ eyes smiled grimly. “It_is,” he admitted. “It means that I’m up against the toughest Proposition I've ever struck. How're things up your way?” “Rotten! I’m thinking of chucking rubber—and turning my attention to oil. At present I’m at Ketatan. Know Pennington started. “Ketatan! That's where Allison was murdered by the Yellow Seven Gang!” Pennington was staring at a clus- ter of flies on the ceiling. - “You'vé had no trouble since.

You don't mean that Malay girl? My dear old idiot, surely a fellow can admire a certain regularity of feature without being called to account for it!” Pennington laughed. “You'te a terrible man, Brabazon,” he said, “I remember a girl in Kuala Lumpur telling me that you were ir- resistible. How long are you stop- ping in town?” “Going back by the morning train.” “I was only going to warn your that, if you do happen to meet the Commissioner's sister, just try and restrain that abnormal flow of per- sonal. magnetism—for my sake.” “Oh-ho!” remarked the planter, raising his eyebrows. “What's her name?” “Viney,” said Pennington. “Monica Viney. She’s a widow.” Brabazon winked, “I thought you said it was Chai- Hung who kept you in Jesselton?” “It Pennington assured him > “but I'm not sorry about it, all the same!” “I bet you're not! When’s it com- ing off?” Pennington gazed dreamily over the rail. “Possibly not at all. I haven't asked her opinion on the subject yet.” “Good heavens, man! What on earth are you waiting for?” Pennington turned. “I'm waiting until I’ve nailed Chai- Hung!” he declared. ¢ Brazabon scrambled to his feet and joined him. “Want any help?” “Possibly.” “Then call on me for it. I’m just about fed up the life I'm lead- ing. A thund @ good row’d about clear my head! i “Thanks,” returned Pennington warmly, “I fancy you'll be in one before long.” “Good enough!” Brabazon rubbed his hands togeth- er in ‘anticipatio: “In the meantime, keep your weather-eye open for Chai-Hung.” He paused and looked to where the waters of the bay glistened in the light of a sun that was low in the floor} 100.

A subtle change has crept over me ever since. I find my- self a great deal too solicitous about my own welfare. Queer, isn’t it? Cheerio!” Brabazon went back to Ketatan by the morning train, He had not seen Pennington since their meeting ‘it the Rest-House, but he had run into a lively crowd of brother-planters and Government men, and the climax of the “celebration” that followed had been something in the nature of a disaster! A dull throbbing at his temples reminded him of this. t Barbazon was a planter. of expet- ience. He knew just how ; much a coolie could be expected to do in a day. As he went the rounds on his Bajau pony he encountered nothink but veiled insolence, and tasks half done. It was close on sun-down when he regained his bungalow. He stumbléd up the steps and dropped into a cane chair. He was wondering who it was had sown the seeds of rebellion in the minds of his men. By sheer force of habit, he reached for his glass and, as-he did so, some- thing passed his cheek so closely that he felt the wind of it, and stuck, quivering, in the wooden wall behind him.
