It is being used successfully by Twin City industries and in many cities of South Dakota. Once when some of the factories become equipped to use lignite properly they will find a great saving in costs. As the consumption increases more favorable freight rates will be secured. Far more important than state mills and elevators and ether enterprises of their kind, is an intelligent advertise- ment of the state’s resources; its fine lands for dairy pur- poses, its clay deposits for brick and pottery and the inex- haustible deposits of the best lignite in the world. everywhere.

A closer understanding of the hopes andj aspirations of the other fellow might solve many issues that now seem most vexatious. Make the Bismarck celebration one long to be remem- i bered.

Within eight- een hours of hearing from you that | Domberg was dead and the sign of the Yellow Seven:plastered on his bungalow, I’ve found the implements that were employed to make that sign. The slackness was not on our side, but yours.” « The Dutchman ‘left the rail came a couple of paces nearer. “How d’you make that out?” “I have known for a considerable time that Chai-Hung.was in the neighborhood and for ten days your boundaries have been patrolled by |my own men. During the whole of j that period not a single agent of the Yellow Seven has either entered or left.” “How long do you propose staying here?” “Until the feller I'm looking for comes to find his paint.” “You still imagine he intends using it again?” “He'd have burnt it if he didn’t.” The Dutchman forced a smile. you and ness of youth. One does not need to see more than that, does one? You must not ften look for brains or souls; at east to my eyes these faces lack in many cases these things which make you so beautiful, my dear. A man may love to look upon all these exquisite, creatures even when they are as soulless when you meet them face to face as they are upon the screen, but when a man thinks of his wife he wants something more. I went with Arthur Thornton, who you know is my superior, to one of the big hotels the other night and met a number of girls who were in moving pictures. The most interest- ing one among them was a young woman who called herself Paula Perier. I'm sure that wasn’t her real hame. It is too musical to be true. She told me she was from Albany and although she had only been out here a very short time, she al ready had a small part with one of the big stars.

Whittaker and Vance share a place between here and Domberg’s. | They've both got Chinese servants; if Chai-Hung wants free access to the coast, they're as much in his way as I am—and there’s a particular fine opportunity for killing two birds with one stone. If you were in the bandit’s shoes—isn't that the first thing that would occur to you?” “I think I shall stop here in any case.

Half-an-hour later Ra- bat-Pilai crept on to the veranda and halted before Pennington’s chair. “Well?” “Great Tuan, the Dutchman left the estate by the gate that faces the sea. He went some little distance into the forest to where a big tree stands alone. There was a hurri- eane-lamp hidden in the under- growth. The'Tuan Van Daulen lit it and held it above his head. A man stole from the shadows and joined him.” ‘ Pennington stared at the ceiling. “What sort of man?” “A Chinaman, Tuan. There was mo word spoken between them.

He smoked the thing over the fire and 1 fancy he carries it about with him under his blouse.” Van Daulen shuddered. Pennington came languidly to his feet. “Good: night, Van Daulen. we're both well enough to si enjoy that cup of tea.” Rabat-Pilai was dusting laborious- ly when Pennington —in_ riding- breeches and slippers—emerged on to the veranda an easy first. Van Daulen was splashing in his room, grunting and spluttering with the glorious lack of restraint of a rhi- noceros. The man with the “Chinese eyes kicked off his slippers. His foot was on the point of ente:- ing the boot when Rabat dropped « pile of worn volumes, Pennington started and looked up. The servant was signaling furiously, his mutilated face queerly contorted. The Englishman raised his brows, took each heel gingerly between fin- ger and thumb and from the left boot shook what looked like a tin-tack with an enormous head. He was still staring at it when Rabat-Pilai picked it up without turning a hair. He re- treated with it to Van Daulen’s chair, grinning over’ the back of it at his master. 5) “Good Lord! It was touch and go that time, with. a vengeance. The in- human swine! Rabat, if I'd trodden on that how long would I have been in agony?” All that was possible of the grin vanished as Van Daulen appeared at the head of the passage. “Morning, Pennington. haven't kept you waiting?” “Not in the least, old bird. I’ve always cherished a sort of hazy no- tion you planters were early folk! Those my boots, Rabat?” ‘Efe ‘pafled ‘therh “6h; one after ‘the other, fully aware all the while that the Dutchman’s eyes were upon him. Suddenly he uttered a sharp ex- clamation and sat back in the chair, his lips parted, his breath coming and going in. short gasps. “What's the matter, Pennington ?” “Nothing. Rabat-Pilai, you idiot, why didn’t you knock down this con- founded nail?” He fell forward burying his face in his hands, then arched to the floor, where he lay, jerking spasmodically. The native—comprehending nothing —plucked a long knife from his eit. With a wild ery he sprang at the planter, who covered him with an automatic. “Stop where you are, Rabat-Pilai. Tl deal with you later. Pennington, can you hear me? In half an hour from now it won’t matter very much whether your friend in Jesselton finds fifty finger-prints on those brushes. I’ve a launch in the bay and a tong-kong standing off ready to take me to the Philippines, I killed Demberg.

Drop that knifc, you black-skinned devil, and get over in the corner where I can see you.” He reached down for his boots. He stamped his feet home—and the corners of Rabat- Pilai’s enormous mouth twitched. A bellow like that of an_angty bull shook the rafters and the automatic slipped to the floor. Pennington’s fingers shot out and closed over the butt. “Doesn't it occur to you, Van Daulen, that I’m taking a deuce of a long time dying!” But the Dutchman was not listen- ing. A sort of semi-paralysis seemed to have gripped him and he shrank rather than fell to the boards. Pennington, springing to his feet, swung around on his servant. “Rabat-Pilai, did you do this?” he demanded sternly. The features of a hideous, battered idol confronted him. “It was between my fingers when the Dutch Tuan came—and I dropped it.” . “You're the most infernal liar that was ever. created, Rabat!” He fell to his knees by the side of Van Daulen.
