A T0E Bo TR((K/ ©uu SERVICE INC.(923. 8y EDMUND SNELL, u.ws-mw!b By RMW.SATTERFIELD - o — . Captain John Hewitt—Commission- er of Police at Jesselton—sprang to _his feet and extended a welcoming Land to a stout, elderly Chinaman pauging on the threshold, Monica Viney, delightfully at east in' & cane chair, raised her eyes from her book to observe the newcomer. His attire seemed to be a studied compromise between eastern and ‘western fashions, for he wore a white tunic, baggy trousers of black silk, and black boots with elastic sides. | Across his chest stretched a gold watch-chain, the links of which were peculiarly massive, and the third finger of his left hand displayed a ring sét with a large green stone. “You sent for me, he announced with ‘a harsh intonation that, for some reason, struck terror into her soul. “That's right,” agreed the commis- eloner ‘cordially, ‘“Come in and sit down., This is my sister, Mrs. Viney. | Monica, I want to introduce you to the wealthiest and most respected Chinese gentleman on the island—Mr. Chai-Hung.” “How do you do?" murmured Monica sweetly, She was about to rise when a movement of the orfen- tal's hand checked her, “Please don't move, Mrs, Viney. I} cannot tell you how delighted 1 am to make your honored acquaintance I understand vou arrived in Borneo only a short time ago.” Monica flushed. “I came from Singapore three daye ago—Iin the Jelandang,” she replied, “It was a wonderful trip. 1 was practically the only passenger in the first-class saloon.” Chai-Hung lowered chair. “Practically?” he echoed. ""Why yes. There was only my- self—and a Mr. Pennington.” Hewitt looked up sharply. “Of course you'll stop to tea, Mr. Chal-Hung?" The Chinaman slowly. “I never take tea, at least, not what you western people term tea. You'll pardon me, I know, if 1 say that our national beverage suffered consider- ably when it came into your hands. You diluted it with milk—and spoiled it with sugar!” The commissioner ecrossed his legs and held his cigar-case toward his guest, Chai-Hung helped himself. Hewitt slappad each of his pockets in turn, accepted the (‘hinaman’s box of matches, lit Chai-Hung's cigar, then turned his attention to his own. With bilissful unconcern, he dropped the box into his tunic pocket. Monica, keenly observant, watched with amused interest the almost pa- thetic expression with which the ¢riénta! followed the cool annexation of his property. A ripple of laughter escaped her lips. “Didn’'t you know that?" she de- manded. “I thought everybody did. 1 don't belleve he's ever bought matches in his life! = Jack, give ‘Mr. Chai-Hung his matches.” .The commissioner started guiltily. “By Jove! TI'm frightfully T hadn't the least intention-—!" hapded them back. The eyes of Chai-Hung twinkled. “I must remember that," he said. 4T sent for you, Mr. Chai-Hung" Hewitt began, “because I am scrious- 1y.in need of help. Your amazing insight into affairs that concern your awn people has been of great service to me in the past: 1.am hoping that it svill serve to lift the veil from a mystery of which the non-solution may enforce my resignation of my tion here.” "As bad as that The commissioner nodded. “Lord Stornaway and dined here last night and morning for Sandakan. “1 wanted their visit to be devoid of unpleasantness.

A second later and both arm and pendant had disappeared. 1 believe I screamed, for the next moment Jack and Lord Stornaway were hoth in the room. lLady Stornaway followed. 1 felt the room going round me, The next thing I remember is finding myself in this c'halr still holdlng 'hi\ piece of (CHAI-HUNG LEAPED TO HIS FEET. card that I had picked up before I saw the arm.” She shuddered and Chai-Hung rose to his feet. “A distinctly unpleasant experi- ence,” he commented sauvely. “And the piece of card—what was it like, Mrs. Viney?" “It was as long as my index finger,” broke in the commissioner, ‘‘with rounded corners, On one side it was black, on the other yellow—with seven black dots, four of thein above a faint dividing line that ran halfway —and three below.'

This was yellow. I am inclined to attach a good deéal of importance to this card, Mr, Chai- Hung. I fancy this theft was no common theft, the perpetrator no or- dinary thief, Chai-Hung regarded his watch. “What is your theory, Captain Hewitt, if I may ask?" “I believe that this affair is not wholly unconnected with the present wave of anti-British feeling that pre- vails everywhere., I look at it as a carefully caleulated plan to cause considerable annoyance to a promi- nent Englishman; the work, in fact, of a secret society. Be that as it may,” he concluded abruptly, “I'm in about the biggest hole I've dropped into during the whole of my official career.” “Has it ever occurred asked the oriental blandly, secret society in the east is very much the same as a trade union in the o hen you don't agree with me?"” “Hardly.” “But,” cried Monica excitedly, “How do you account for the yellow seven?” Chai-Hung leaped to his feet and stood glaring at her, his fists clench- | ing and unclenching in his efforts to! to choke down the fury that consumed him. “What do.you know of the Yellow Seven?” he demanded fiercely. She regarded him in amazement. "“Why," she retorted innocently, “it was yellow—and there were seven dots.” The oriental in his throat. “Of course, I was forgetting,” he admitted, half to himself. “T'1 do everything possible, Captain Hewitt." At the entrance he turned. “Good afternoon, Captain Good day, Mrs. Viney.” He was off at a rapid pace and the commissioner watched his red paper umbrella until it was out of sight. He turned to find Pennington at his elbow. “Good Lord, get here?” The other grinned. | that was remarkable Pennington was the angle his eyes were set on an youthful countenance. to you,” swallowed something Hewitt. man!

Mr. Pennington, you don’t really think Mr, Chai-Hung will help Jack, do you? 1 think he's a Iorrible man!"” “Kfiow anything about Chai- Hung?” asked Pennington suddenly. Hewitt started. “He's a prosperous Chinese mer- chant. He plants rubber as a sort of profitable hobby.

He promised to do his best. 1 hardly expected him to send the damned pendant to me by this evening.” Pennington turned and gazed thoughtfuly toward a sea of infinite bLlue. “Thanks,” he murmured drily. take it then that you place absolute confidence in our friend?" “Certainly. I've no reason to do otherwise.” The younger man round on his heel. He walked down toward the kitchen quarters, then came back and stood in front of the commissioner’s chair. “If Chai-Hung knows as much of the manners and custome of his people as you are inclined to imagine, he could have told you one thing at least—if he had chosen. He could have explained to you that the re- covery of the lost diamonds is every moment becoming more difficult—be- icause it is changing hands with in- credible rapidity.” swung slowly (Continued in Our Next Tssue) EIGHT WILL COMPETE Survivors of Fourth Round Play in Lengwood Bowl Tourney Are Play- ing in Today's Matches.
