Bhe nodded. ‘'He asked if you were in—and said he was going away for some time. Mr, Pennington was here, too. He'll tell you all about it.” “Where {s Pennington now?"” “T haven't seen him since tea.” A sudden movement in the wild garden outside attracted her atten- tion. She stepped close up to the rail and peered into the blackness. Standing half in the shadow of a stunted palm, she saw a tall, gaunt figure, wearing a loose costume of pale blue material. Monica caught her brother's sleeve and pulled him for- ward. “There’s a man out there, she told him softly. The Commissioner looked. “It's Pennington, 1 suppose,” he growled presently. ‘“What the devil's he want to hang about the house like that for!” At that moment, the scarecrow Yaised an arm and beckoned. “How are we for time?" Bhe consulted her wrist watch. “You've twenty minutes before din- @er. Don't stop out too long.” Hewitt looked at Monica. Thirty seconds later he had passed down the eteps, making his way toward the tree. Mras. Viney went in to dress @inner, The deep-toned Ducun gong, rever- berating in the stillness of the night, brought her back to the veranda. Her brother was nowhere to be seen. Bhe hurried down the passage to his room, tapped on the door, then, get- ting no response, looked in. The room wa sempty and a glance sufficed to tell her he had not been there since his return. The neatly piled clean clothes were still where the servant had put them. Her mind slightly troubled, she invaded his office. As she stepped toward the writing table, & grim sense of impending disaster swept over her. She thrust it from her resolutely, and pressed onward. Both hands resting on the wooden surface, she gazed horror-stricken be- fore her at a dagger with a gilt handle that stuck upright in the table, its thin steel blade impaling a heap of torn paper fragments. Dimly, as her, powers of reasoning stole back to her, she realized that the tattered document was the warrant for the ar- rest of Chal-Hung, and that the yel- low handle of the knife bore seven distinct black dots on the side that was turned toward her—four on the upper half and three below. Suddenly she became aware that Pennington—serene, immaculate—was at her elbow. She swung round on him fiercely. “Mr Pennington, what does all this ‘mean? Where is Jack? ‘What have you done with him?"” Pennington was frankly puzzled. “Jack? Captain Hewitt? T haven't seen him. Isn’t he back yet?" Monica caught her breath. “Somebody beckoned to him from | the garden,” she raced on wildly. “We both thought it was you. Jack went out. He hasn’t dressed for Makan, and there's that on his table. For God's sake, tell me what it all means?" Pennington guided her to a chair, echoed in- Jack,"” for then bent over the dagger. A second later, he had rushed from the room toward the kitchen-quarters. She heard the voluble tones of the cook-boy, a yell of pain, the dragging of a heavy body along the floor and the servant was flung like a sack into the office, still clinging to a flimsy box with a metal handle—the only luggage he had brought with him when he arrived. Pennington slammed the door leaned against it. “Get up, you swine!” he said stern- ly. “Get up and find your tongue or, by heaven! I'll flay you alive!" The boy scrambled to his feet and and ) THE LIKE A stood sullenly in the Lare room. “You will lead me to Chai-Hung!"” hissed Pennington. At the very sound of the name the Oriental trembled visibly. The Englishman caught him by both shoulders and shook him vio- lently. A volume of inarticulate grunts followed. Pennington plucked the knife from the woodwork. “Mrs. Viney,” he said over his shoulder, “do you mind waiting for me in the dining room?"” At the entrance she looked back. “What are you going to do?” she demanded fearfully. LARGE PIMPLES ALL OVER FACE Were Red and Scaled Over. Cuticura Heals. “I was troubled with pimples on my face. They were large and red and scaled over, and were scattered all over my face. They itched badly causing me to scratch, and my face was very much disfigured. I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a free sample. After using it I could see an improvement so purchased more, which healed me.” (Signed) Miss Ida Berthao, 20 Horton St., Taun- ton, Mass., Mar. 31, 1923, Cuticura Soap to cleanse and pu- rify, Cuticura Ointment to soothe and heal and Cuticura Talcum to powder and perfume are ideal for daily toilet purposes. ‘Caticura Labor- Mass."

Pelase go,”” he whispered. “I've got to use every method I know to enable me to get on the track of your brother—before it's too late."” Collecting herself with an effort, she crept from the room, closing the door after her, In the grim half-hour that fol- | lowed she lost all sense of time. She looked up suddenly to see Pennington before her. “I'm just off,” he said quietly. “Then you know—-?"" “He has told me as much wanted to know.” She regarded him doubtfully. “It all sounds so utterly hopeless,” she declared, Pennington was leaning against the table, eating bread and cheese alter- nately. as I he told her between the mouthfuls, “that I have made it my business to study the movements of our arch- bandit. It would be impossible for me to know all his hiding-places, but I have discovered a good few of them, sufficient, I feel convinced, to assist me in shifting fact from fletion. Wong-See—the intelligent youth I collared in the act of making a hur- ried exit—is a poor sort of creature, when brought face to face with the serious problems of this life. By dint of dire threats and much patience, I gathered he was on the point of pro- | ceeding to Chai-Hung's lair, to the place where your brother has been taken. In effect, we have arrived at a delightful compromise. Wong-See is between Scylla and Charybdis: If he fails to join Chai-Hung—the ven- geance of that gentleman will fall upon him, swiftly and surely, whether he seeks refuge in China or any old island in the archipelago. The re- maining horn of the dilemma js—" He stuck his tongue in his cheek. “~—death by the most horrible torture imaginable—at the hands of ‘he who sces in the dark,” otherwise—myself! Now comes the compromise. He is to proceed to Chai-Hung's hiding place, as he had originally intended, enly with Pennington in his immedi- ate rear. In this manner, he stands a sporting chance of dodging a hor- rible end at the hands of either.” He reached for his hat. Monica slipped between him and the door. “You're not going alone?” “Most certainly."” She stamped her foot impatiently. “You mustn't do that!" she cried. “It's positively absurd. Supposing there are others waiting for Wong- See in the jungie?’” “I've been in tight corners before, Mrs. Viney,” he reminded her gently, “and I've managed to squirm out of ‘em somehow. If T attempt to start out with a crowd of native soldiers, the information will be tapped out on some native telegraph system almost before the men have left the barracks. Hewitt will be spirited away and the chances of rescue will become a “You must remember, Mrs. Viney,” | thousand times more remote,” “One more couldn’t possibly do any harm,” protested Monica, “I'm not taking any chances,” said Pennington, “Take me!" said the girl, flushed to the roots of her hair. “You!” “Why not? I shall be at my wits end if you leave me here alone.” Her volice broke. “If Chai-Hung is plot- ting against one of us, why shouldn't he send for me while you are away, looking for Jack?" Pennington glanced hurrledly at his watch and Monica, realized that her argument had gone home, She seized his jacket Impulsively with both hands. Pennington's one weakness lay in his utter inexperience of the opposite sex. “Come on, then,” he said, with a gruffness that was new. to her. “There's an_electric torch in the right hand drawer of your brother's desk. We may want it.” Trembling with excitement, she hurried in search of it, joining him a few seconds later at the foot of the veranda steps. Almost at the exact spot where she had seen the man who had impersonated Pennington, the cook-boy awalted the order to pro- ceed, Soon they had left the beaten track and were threading their way through tangled undergrowth, under branches 8o closely interwoven as to exclude the stars, the humming of countless legions of insects in their ears, the bright light of the electric torch de- scribing an illuminated circle on the back of Wong-See. The night air blew suddenly chill and a slight shiver ran through Monica. Her companion brought his almost to a level with hers. “Cold?” he demanded softly. She smiled up at him, “Not really. Actually, premely content.” They relapsed into silence again, and Pennington, conscious of a smoldering, inconsumable fire within, glanced covertly at the trim figure of the attractive widow who kept pace with him, and was glad that he had let her come. He quickened his step, until Monica found herself com- pelled to run to keep up with him. head I'm su- (Continued in Our Next Issue) MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE Pittsburgh Brakeman Likely to Be Accused of Killing Wife Pittsburgh, July 24—Patrick Coyne, railroad brakeman, who has been hovering near death for several days with both legs severed by car wheels, is llkely to be arrested in connection with his wife's death if he recovers.

It has petitioned the ministry of the interior to change its designation to Borisovo, In honor of the king. \ Slavovitza is especially resentful be- cause Stamboulisky, within a month or two of the tragedy in which his life ended, ordered the seizure of a considerable part of its communal land and distributed it among gypsies, .to induce them to settle down and take up agriculture. An echo of this selzure was heard when Stambouii- sky was attacked by villagers, includ- ing people from Slavovitza. tme of the remarks J'rected at Stamboulisky in that time was: “You have devoured our land; now our land will devour you.” In thelr petition to the ministry of the interior, the villagers of Slavo- vitza bitterly attack the fallen pre- mier's memory as an enemy of the state, the church and the peasants.

Disapproval of the plan to increase fees at the municipal slaughter house was expressed last night by Meyer and Edward Dunn, David Gorfain and Albert Sherman, butchers, who ap- peared before a special committee of the commgn council which is working on plans for a chill room and re- frigerating system. The new system would cost $11,000. The special com- mittee proposes fees that will make the place self-supporting, pay the in- terest on the investment and part of the principal. : Meyer Dunn objected because the prices are too high. Albert Sherman claimed the prices were increased sev- eral years ago because, they were told, the improvements were about to be made. He said further increases would pare down the already too small margin of profit on a cow. David Gorfain wanted no cooler or refriger- ator, explaining that the present sys- tem suits him. He said his customers want fresh beef and he was opposed to storing it six hours at the slaughter house. Dr. Richard W. Pullen, superintend- ent of health, replied to this objec- tion, saying that beef allowed to stand in a chill room was better from a health standpoint. Chairman L. M. Stanley of the committee, in adjourn- ing the meeting, explained that the gathering was merely for the pur- pose of getting sentiment of the butchers. He said a meeting of the committee will be held soon to go over the points brought out.
