It took him only SIX MONTHS to sell his eighth million. Here you have a clear-cut illustration of a principle that regulates success in nearly every field of endeavor. It is sc universal a principle that it is almost a natural law. This is the principle: Getting started is nine-tenths of the battle for success.

Presently, as the tobacco caught, his head came slowly- round until his puzzled eyes fell upon those of his companion. “Why do you suppose they wanted to get us out of the way?” \ Chinese Pennington rose wearily. “I don’t know,” he admitted, “but | I've a queer feeling in my bones that |the sooner we're back again—the | better.” Hyde, glancing at his watch, was amazed to discover that it was close upon one o'clock. He turned to Pen- | nington. “There’s a shorter cut, if we bear to the right. We should strike the railway in under half-an-hour.” Twenty ‘yards from the boundary wire, a man on a pony almost rode them down. Both men stepped hastily from the track and the new- comer, pulling up abruptly, slid to the ground and confronted them. It was Bateson, hatless, his straw-col- ored hair standing almost on end. “Is that you, Hyde?” he cried | hoarsely, ; “You can make yourself easy on that score,” the manager assured him. Pennington, an uncomfortable sen- sation passing down his spine, inter- vened, He dropped a heavy hand on Bateson’s shoulder, “What's wrong?” he demanded, The assistant swallowed something is throat. “It’s Dora. She's disappeared!” “Disappeared!” It was Hyde who spoke. “But, man alive!—” A glance from Pennington checked further ut- terance. “When did she go out?” he said, rolling a cigaret, his eyés fixed on Bateson all the while, “About, ten. I was busy on the veranda with a couple of mandors, figuring out some work I wanted to get through tomorrow. I gathered that she was going to see you. She carried a small parcel in her hand and I remember expressing curosity as to its contents. She told me it was something you had asked for.” Pennington started, ‘ “Something I had asked for,” he echoed inéréduously, and then his face dropped. “What was it like?” Bateson appeared to reflect, “It was only a small thing,” he said, and I couldn’t sce it very cldar- ly. It looked to me like a fan.” Pen- nington caught Hyde’s arm and held it tightly. “Don’t jump at conclu- sions,” he whispered ‘ reassuringly, seeing that the other had gone death- ly white. “Have you been to Hyde’s bungalow, Bateson?” “Yes. I've only just come from there. There was a watchman on duty outside. Dora had been there, had waited for about an hour—and had gone out on foot,.That’s what I can’t make out. I found her pony tethered where she had left ‘it. The watchman did not think it his place to question her. The moon was well up when she left, and he was under the impression she was look- ing for something she had lost. It’s Q queer business . altogether,” he added helplessly. “The watchman told me she had both arms out- stretched in front of her, and that she chose a path‘of“her own between the trees, ey “Yes,” broke in H, “What then?” “I found a hurricane-lamp and started off in thé direction he indi- cated. At her first footsteps were pretty clearly marked, but after o hundreds yards or so they petered out altogether. It seemed as if the earth had been freshly raked over for/an appreciable distance, and then I ran across other tracks which, when fol- lowed, only brought me back to the spot from which I'd started.” He shuddered involuntarily,/ “Penning- ton, what on earth does it all mean?” “Tt means that your wife has been kidnaped by, the Yellow Seven and that there’sné sleep for any’ of us until. we get her back. “You Yound nothing on the path, nothing that could be of assistance Bateson shook his head. He dived a hand into a side-hocket and pro- duced a crumpled mass of cane and cloth. 3 “Nothing at all—except this.

The oil lamp flared up suddenly and Dora Bateson, crouching in a corner of the hut, saw the ponderous form of Chai-Hung erceping through the narrow*aperture. He rose. pres- ently to his feet and sat heavily upon a black-wood stool that was the only piece of furniture of which the hovel boasted. \ “Good evening, Mrs. Bateson,” he began in a grating voive. “You are wondering no doubt why I have brought you here, and what I am going to do with you?” “I’m not the lenst bit afraid of you, Mr, Chai-Hung,” retorted the girl steadily. She shifted into a more comfortable position on the rotting boards ‘and, looking upward, caught a glimpse ‘of a star-lit | heaven through a spot in the roof where the steps had fallen away. Dora Bateson was afraid of shad- ows, but the substance held no ter- rors for her. The harsh voice of the notorious bandit, the trick he had of contracting his pupils until they be- came like points of fire—inspired her with a certain, inexplicable fear; but ,| She was by no means afraid of Chai- Hung himself. “How did you get me here?” she demanded presently, , Chai-Hung smiled blandly. “It was exceedingly simple. Mrs. Bateson. If you are able to remem- ber anything, you will admit that you started out apparently of your own accord. That is what we term —The Fan Trick. Be Dora’s brow wrinkled.’ “The Fan Trick!” Her eyes sparkled with the light of sudden knowledge. “Then I am on Island NI” she exclaimed. “Aren’t you trifle’ unwise, Mr. Chai-Hung, in s lecting a hiding-place so near to the mainland?” Chai-Hung positively beamed. “Not in the least, my dear lady. Of all my enemies, there is only one that I have any cause to fear. They call him ‘He Who Sees in the Dark,’ but you would recognize him more readily under his real name—Chi- nese Pennington.” He paused to ob- serve the effect of his words, but the girl controlled her features admi ably. “Pennington hounded me from Jesselton and drove me, as he still persists in believing, into the backwoods. He succeeded in one re- spect. He made it necessary for me to resort to strange expedients to ob- tain money. That is precisely why you are here tonight, Mrs. Batesoh.” He gazed at. her through half- closed lids. “I shall send_a messenger to your husband—for money,”. rasped Chai- Hung between his tecth. ‘If the {send another, and still another—for messéngers‘are cheap ‘and the lips of. the Yellow Seven are sealed. I shall ask for ten thousand dollars— ene for each of your beautiful fin- gers. But, with each further messen- ger I shall send a finger—” The girl had risen to her fect, her eyes blazing with fury. “You—devil!” The great Chai-Hung backed to- ward the opening, bowing as he did so. “I do not anticipate that you will have to undergo the painful process of amputation very often, Mrs. Bate- son,” he continued smoothly. Almost beside herself, she caught the black-wood stool from the floor and swung it aloft, but, before sh could send it crashing into the leer- ing face that mocked at her, she saw * the form of a second Chinaman wriggle noiselessly through the aperture. The newcomer had a livid scar running the length of one cheek. He wore a blue jacket with voluminous, tattered sleeves and, af the girl stood petrified, her eyes wide-open like saucers, she could have sworn that the stranger winked at her. “Good night, Mrs. Bates: Hung was saying. “I am dispatch my first messenger.” on,” Chai- ‘cing to And then an arm like'@ steel "Wire encircled his neck and he'fell to'the floor with a thud, It seemed.an eternity before Chi- nese Pennington fixed one knee firmly on the 1s ‘oat and, groping in his aes a tenets at the little patch in thé root where the sago-leaves had been torn away. “China Tea,” this gripping se: next issue, A Thought And why ment? field, the next episode of ries, will start in our ] o take ye thought for rai- Consider, the ilies of the how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say Ante you, that even Solomon in all js glory was not arrayed like one of these.—Matt. 6:28, 29. ‘ ee | BEAUTY is Nature’s coin, must not be hoarded, But\ must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken BBs r2ith —Milton.
