You were a friend of young Ross, weren't you?” “Yes,” admitted Mahony. “And Koss pretended to be a friend of Lawson. Actually he hated him—hated and feared him. 1 don't go about with my eyes shut, and I've noticed the way Ross looked at Law- son when he thought nobody was watching him.” It was absolute lies, of course; he had noticed nothing of the kind; but “Yes,” answered Mahony. “What about it?” He did not feel in the mood to chat to strangers. “My name's Milson,” said the stranger. “Andrew Milson. Don’t you remember me?” “No,” answered Mahony. To the best of his knowledge he had never seen the man before in his life. “I met you a couple of years ago, in ‘the Shanghai Bar,” ‘said Milson confidently, “At that time | believe you wére special correspondent in China for att American newspaper— the Chicago Leader.” That information was correct.

Mahony was conscious of a new respect for the old man. “A charming fellow, * Lawson,” gontinuea Lee-Ramsden. “So hand some and cultured. And also, if I'm any judge of men, one of the most unprincipled blackguards in crea- tion. He seems to have been bob bing up a good deal in this matter last night and this morning, doesn’t he?” He paused. “Won't you tell me the whole story?” he asked. “I'll help you if 1 can.
