Pennington goes with Denis Moor- house, tri#t officer, to hunt Chai- Hung. The expedition is guided by a dancing girl, enemy' of the bandit chief, because of the theft of one of her wonderful silver gloves. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Pennington smuled. “You'll have to like form of yours the undergrowth.” “@uaya’s gone’ in,” reported the 1D. O. of Bukit-Iban, mopping his forehead withia handkerchief. “Hot, isn’t it?” said Pennington cheerfully. A quarter of an hour later Moor- house touched Pennington with his foot and the man with the Chinese eyes passed the warning on a -tfifle more heavily. The girl had emerged from, the hut.and, the bundle still under one arm, was makifig off in an easterly “direction; following close upon the heels of an elderly Oriental in a suit of butcher’s blue and an enormous mushroom hat. Moorhouse glanced back. “Give 'em time,” muttered Pen- nington between his teeth. “It may be a plant.” 3 To Dawson it seemed centuries be- fore the jungle expert rose to his feet and, selecting a patch of ground be- tween the trees where the giant ferns. rose in rank profusion, steered a diagonal course toward the path their quarry had taken. It was fully an hour before they obtained a clear view of the dancer and, her guide, but Pennington—em- ploying some instinct he had acquired in his wanderings, seemed to have been aware of their proximity for some time. With starting sudden- ness Chinese Penningtongdropped in his tracks and, not a moment too soon, his companions followed suit. * Leaning against a jack-fruit tree barely a dozen yards distant Moor- house' saw an enormous Oriental, nude from the waist upward, a for- midable parang dangling at his side. Farther to his right, the D. 0. noted a similar sentinel and, to the left again, still a third, motionless as a statue. : As they lay there, a prey to vora- cious ants and swarms of flies, a piercing scream came from the Tegtion of the path, followed by a lg hysterical sobbing. fOorhouse was up like a jack-in. the-box, but Pennington’s fingers closing firmly over an ankle, pulle him: down again. He turned to ex- Postulate, but a hand choked his ut- terance. “Keep still; your priceless idio the other whispered in his ear. “You cant do shy ‘good. 'He’s' waiting for us to cote out and show’ oursélves.” The D. O. of Bukit-Ibgn, an un- Pere taste in his mouth, ‘glanced ek that sylph- ‘deal closer into appealingly at Dawson; but Dawson was thoughtfully examining . the safety-catch of his automatic and did not look up. The screams came again. and Moorhouse jammed his fingers in his ears, : He hardly remembered the details of that retreat. There was some- thing about Pennington that made men follow him, or the: magistrate would never have come at all, “Phew!” ejaculated Dawson as soon as they were back at the origi- nal track. “That was a trifle” too near to be pleasant!” He winked at Pennington. “Gentlemen, you may smoke!” He held his case to Moorhouse who’ did not appear to notice it, and to Pennington, who shook his head. The stout man lit up cheerfully... “Discretion,” he observed senten- tiously, “is the better part of valor! With a bit of luck, Moorhouse, old son, we shall arrive at your palatial residence in time for a cheering cup of teal” The pent-up feelings of Denis Moorhouse at length found utter- ance. “They were murdering that girl,” he said. ‘ Chinese Pennington: dropped a heavy hand on the other’s shoulder. 3 ould make yourself: quite easy on thatgscore. doesn’t murder pretty women who are likely to ‘be of service to him.

We know that the Yellow Seven are here in considerable force, and that the united efforts of three perfectly good white men armed with automatics would be about the forlornest hope ever embarked upon.” They passed through the screen of cocopalms and emerged on to the strip of grassland in which Moor- house's bungalow lay. : i Moorkouse, hardly awake, reached down automatically for the blanket at the bottom of the bed. Suddenly, as his benumbed faculties began to return to him, he started and blinked vacantly at the white canopy above him. Somewhere close at hand a dog was barking. Ten seconds later he had woken to the realization that it was the black chow and that the sound came from the veranda, “Shut up, Hitam! Lie down!” And ‘then—something black and shadowy slid noiselessly within the rectangle of light and out of it again. The D. 0., experiencing that un- comfortable sensation that in- variably associated with a surprise in the early hours, forced his muscles to act and groped under the pillow for ~ his automatic. His fingers touched nothing. but the crumpled edge of the sheet. Always a restless sleeper, his pillow lay—a shapeless mass—to one side, and the weapon had presumably dropped to the floor without waking him. Swearing soft- ly to himself, he reached down, grop- ing uncertainly in all directions. The flimsy curtains, blowing listlossly in a light breeze, touched his cheek and, bringing his head suddenly upward, he saw—as if dangled from the bed- post—a silver hand. The thing hovered there, glittering in the patch of light, and for some mo- ments he stared at it. He withdrew his gaze with an effort, a wild hope revolving in his brain. The words formed upon his lips. He had not seen her since that strategic . retreat from the bandgit’s sentries. Perhaps she had sought him on the veranda and, failing to find there, had come to his room? . He looked up again, The apparition was still where he had first seen it. He pushed himself upward on his urms —then sank Back mute with silent horror. The thing was a left hand— the gauntlet that Chai-Hung had stolen! / He wriggled over on to his face and sent his trembling fingers over the rough floor. They knocked Presently against something soft and warm—a human foot! He set his teeth grimly. He must somehow manage to slip out from the other ide—between the bed and the pafti- ion—and snatch up the water jug, anything with Which to defend him- self, The bed creaked as he moved nd the curtains parted, A lean hand fell upon either wrist and, from ent er | the sores. te eye, he saw at, the silver, band. had. vanished, Thicke Hang 1a Tee piace e eke eae a long thin blade and a hilt that he knew was yellow. He aimed a kick at the arm which held it suspended, but it moved swift- ly upward and the force of his blow / was spent upon empty air. He could catch its shadowy outline as it hesi- tated before descending, and then— the door of the room swung open and the light of a hurricane-lamp il- luminated the whole apartment. The gmp on his wrists relaxed and tight- ened again before he could wrench himself free. The lamp stood un- guarded on the threshold, as if-it had come there of its own accord, and Moorhouse recognized at one and the ame time the man who ‘held him @ , and the créature with the knife: Nyi-Hau—and the great Chai-Mung! He struggled with renewed vio- lence, tore one hand from the‘power- ful fingers that encircled it and hit out at Nyi-Hau with all the force he could put behind it. The man re- coilgd and the magistrate, rolling to } hair’s-breadth. He caught the fierce breath of the bandit—and a third form, gliding stealthily from behind the door, pushed between Chai-Hung and his lieutenant. It_ was Guaya! Her garment was torn and travel-stained and her black hair fell in waves over her dark shoulders. Moorhouse did not understand the meaning of her disheveled tresses, until the dagger with the jeweled hilt sped downward. She drove. it with triumphant force between Nyi- Hau’s shoulders—and the creature pitched headlong ,across the D. 0. “Struggling to free ‘himself of his nauseous burden, Moorhouse did not see how Guaya died. He heard her little, panting cry and threw Nyi- Hau from him to discover Chai-Hung forcing his great bulk through the window frame, leaving his knife be- hind. The automatic caught his eye. He vaulted to the floor and, snatching it up, emptied the entire clip @nto the tropic stillness: Presently he saw that the silver hand had escaped the fugitive and rolled to a corner. “Guaya,” he whispered softly, “I have brought you your hand.” He fell on his knees beside her, thinking that she had fainted, but ) the shapely: shoulders that his’ fin~\ gers touched were unre: ive, “The Barrier of Fire” the next epleode of this opie corres wl '| by any, other orgenization and they feel confident that the society. will fill a long felt need. 8; days and Saturdays, 10¢ Coolest spot in Bis-, FE YECLOW SEVEN: + The Silver Hand
