THE DAY _OF CHA GHTER -HUNG, 1 8YEDMUND SneLL. oy ONeA strvice inciazs. | IWAVSTRATED By RW.SATTERFIELD THE DAUGHTER OF CHAI-HUNG | woke to find himself becoming skep- tical with regard to the whole affair. BEGIN HERE ‘TODAY Captain John Helitt, Commissioner of Police at Jesselton, British North Borneo. Peter Pennington is de- tatled by the government to capture the leader of The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits. Chai-Hung, influential Chinese, is suspected by Pennington of being leader of the gang. Pennington warns Brabazon, | & rubber planted of Ketatan ,to be-| ware of The Yellow Seven. Braba- | zon is an admirer of beautiful women and falls an easy victim to their charms, in to NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He was still standing in the same position when the boy came in with the lamp. Brabazon, squaring his | broad shoulders, uncorked the bottle. | He poured himself out a stiff tot. | He was gazing at an arrow, with ai fine metatl barb, its butt-end split to admit a long, narrow strip of paste- board. On the side toward Braba. gon was a bright yellow surface, or- namented with a- serles of black circles, He crossed the veranda and plucked the thing from the woodwork. The boy was slipping past him but the planter's hand shot out and swung him round to face him. He held the symbol almost under the| creature's nose, | “What do you know of the Yellow BSeven?” he demanded roughly. The Chinaman shivered. “Nothing, tuan,” he fearfully. Brabazon stuck his legs wide apart and nodded his head several times, a grim smile playing on his lips . “Bi-la,” he said presently. out! Mindful of Pennington's warning and with an uneasy feeling gripping his spine, he sent a watchman with an urgent note to Wallace—one of his Jjuniors, requesting him to join him | immediately—and he prepared to stop | the night. While waiting for the re- turn of the messenger, he scribbled a noté to Pennington and enclosed with it the Yellow Seven. | “Dear Penn.'" he wrote. “I have Just received the enclosed per arrow- post. I'm not particularly scared at | things I understand, but this has come as somewhat of a shock. Cheerio! G.

He released the girl and swung round. Standing in the open space between the hutments that he bad just left, he saw Wallace and Pathan watch- man, Brabazon waited until they had caught him up. “What s it, he manded. “Look here, Brabazon, I'm sorry to butt in and all that, but isn't this a trifle unwise? The area beyond our wire's simply swarming /with Chai- Hung' smen." Brabazon started, “Who told you that?" “Pennington,” returned the assist- ant. “I've just seen him., He told me to advise you to send the watch- man with Miss Chal-Hung." “Pennington!” Brabazon's brain reeled. “How the devil did he know?" He bit his lip. “I suppose he's hang- ing around on one of his stunts. Of course Chai-Hung's men are about. They're looking for the girl. She's lost.” He faced Wallace defiantly. The assistant dropped a hand on his shoul- der. “Don't go any It's too risky."” Brabazon felt for his pipe. He strode back to where the girl waited. “My watchman will see you home.” he said. Her face fell. Her hands stole to his sleeves. The look she bestowed on him stirred the fires within. Trembling with an emotion that was utterly beyond his power to suppress, he pressed her fingers to his lips. In all this monotonous existence of which he was fast growing tired, Spey-Koo was the brightest thing he had en- countered, “You will come and see me?” she whispered presently. “Where can I find you—and when?"” | When Brabazon again joined Wal- |lace, the latter noticed that the | cheeks of the manager were flushed Until they paths Wallace ?"" de- farther—tonight. beneath the tan of years. | parted at the spot where two | met, neither spoke a word. | PER The residence of Chai-Hung was surrounded by a high pallisade. There were three gates, set close to- gether—a large portal with narrower entrances on either side. The tall Chinaman in greasy black who leaned against this effective screen, was rolling a cigarette with practiced skill ,using tobacco which he fished from the inner recesses of a rubber pouch. He clipped oc the stray ends with a pair of folding scissors, shield- ed the match with his hands, then reached up and swung himself over on to the other side, dropping on to the soft earth within a bare twenty feet of a bamboo joss-house with an open front. There were tiled steps leading up to a long altar, illuminated with paper lanterns, and on the altar itself rested two bronze urns in which (VoICES 1N THE AIR ] g KDKA AWestinghouse—East Pittsburgh).

MOTOR GLIDERS SHOW | NEW ERA IN AVIATION Small Airplanes Are Fast Becoming Common and Practical Thing in England and France London, July 27.—A new era in air flying, that of cheap, safe, popular airplaning, is foreshadowed by the remarkable success attained by tiny British airplanes called motor gliders. One of these, a small monoplane fit- ted with a three horsepower engine, | recently reached a speed of 53 miles an hour during tests near London. It| climbed to 2,360 feet, and although in the air for an hour and twenty Imlnut?s consumed less than a gallon | of petrol. | French aviation experts also are| perfecting similar “pocket-planes,” in- LAGROMA DARK STAR OF THE HAPSBURGS Little Island on Dalmatian Codst Scene of Many Tragedies ‘Washington, D, C, July 27.—"The little island on the Dalmatian coast, which the post-world war treaty of San Germain made Jugo-Slavian ter- ritory, and which has just cost that new Kingdom more than half a mil- lion dollars of indemnity to its former owner, Princess Elizabeth of Austria, plays a new role by thus bringing something of value to a Hapsburg,” says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society. “The bit of territory might well have been known heretofore as the dark star of iJl-fated Hapsburg arch- dukes. Maximilian, brother of the late Emperor Franz Joseph, left his beautiful retreat there to become for a brief period Emperor of Mexico— and to face a firing squad at Quere- taro. Archduke Rudolph, son of Franz Joseph and heir to the imperial crown, counted Lacroma one of his favorite homes in the years before the tragedy that found him shot dead in a hunting lodge. Famous Republic of Ragusa “Lacroma, only a mile long and less than.half as wide, lles in the dep biue waters a little way of the shore of the Mediterranean’s second Riviera, the coast across the Adriatic sea from the back of Italy's ‘boot.” It is only half a mile from Ragusa, the famous medieval rival of Venice, which alone kept its independence ‘when all the rect of the Adriatic ceast ‘We will call for and deliver your was in the hands of the Turks or the Venetlans. Lacroma, with the other islands ,of the nelghborhood, was & part of the Republic of Ragusa, and came down through the centuries sheltered by that shrewd and enlight- ened commonwealth, and safe physi- cally while the neighboring city suf- fered from its series of cruel earth- quakes. s “Legend says Richard Coeur-de- Lion was shipwrecked on Lacroma and in gratitude for having his life saved built there a chapel and monas- tery At any rate, in 1028 a Bene- dictine monastery was founded on La- croma, and the island continued a re- ligious community for centuries. Through all the ups and downs of his- tory the island remained Ragusan ter- ritory until one of Napoleon's generals captured the city in .1808 and pro- claimed the republic to be at an end. A new and unwelcome chapter opened for Ragusa in 1815 when the Congress of Vienna, tossing bits of HEurope about as it wished, gave Ragusa’s ter- ritory to Austria. N Bought by Maximilian “Maximilian bought the island about the middle of the nineteenth century and converted the ruined monastery into a chateau for himself. It was after his execution that his nephew, Rudolph, frequented the island. When the second tragedy over- took the Hapsburgs the island and’ its bulldings were handed over to the Dominican monks; but in 1911 the imperial family regained possession and it was given before the world war to Princess Elizabeth as a mar- riage dowry. “The Island is heavily wooded and covered with smaller growth of semi- tripocal plants: oleanders, myrtles and aloes, with here and there tall fir trees. From the high rugged main- land this dark green patch of land seems a falry island in a sapphire sea. “In Lacroma's made-over monas- tery are relics that stir unhappy memories of Maxirailian and his wite, Carlotta, who has been insane since the year of her husband's execution. The view from the island shoreward inspirés more pleasant thoughts of a remoter past. Against gray Monte Serglo rise the companiles and domes, the massive medieval walls and the bastions and towers that tell of the one-time power of Ragusa, whose freighted merchant ships, known throughout the commercial world of thelr day, live in the expressive word they have given us, ‘argosy’ AMERICAN PRODUCTS SELL FAST IN JAPAN Desire For Foreign Made Shoes and Clothes Create Market For Goods 5 of This Country Tokio, July 27.—The growing popu= larity in Japan of foreign shoes and clothing has opened up a new market for American goods and machinery. American representatives here . are doing an increasing business, Some years ago Japanese soclety, following the lead of the Empress and ladies of the court, adopted European dress, bute later, although the court con- tinues its use on state occasions, the women of Japan have returned large- 1y to their picturesque’kimona and obi as more becoming. On the other hand, they are dress- ing their boys and girls in forelgn dress as it is easler to keep clean and gives the children greater freedom of action in their sports. Several of the big shoe factories, including those at the army and navy ‘arsenals, are in- stalling shoe machinery to take the place of hand labor.
