As far as was humanly Pennington worked alone, and the | Commissioner of Police was never | surprised when he disappeared for | weeks at a time, nor bothered his head about this extraordinary youth until he turned up again. It was | shortly after his interview with Chi- | nese Pennington ,however, that cer- tain incidents occurred that gave food for reflection. On visiting the shop ot Lien-Yin—the agent of the no- torious Chal-Hung—Hewitt found it closed, and none of the neighboring traders appeared able to supply him with the information he sought as to the whereabouts of Lien-Yin himself. Hewitt returned to the bungalow in search of Pennington, only to learn that he had gone out half an hour before, and had left no message. The Commissioner swore softly to himself and sent the boy for Monica. It occurred to him that his sister might be of help. At any rate, she was probably the last person who had seen Pennington. The servant returned with a mes- sage that Monica was suffering from a severe headache and that he was not to wait lunch for her. The Chinese servant shuffled in and placed a small tray on the table be- fore him. The Commissioner reached out for the glass, looking down all the while at the man's bare toes. “What did you buy at the shop of Lien-Yin this morning?” he demanded with sudden fierceness. The Chinaman started violently. “Nothing, tuan,” he stammered, evidently taken off his guard. Hewitt’s brows converged. “What were you doing there—if you bought nothing” The creature opened his mouth, but no sound came., He stood before the Englishman, twisting his fingers together, glancing from one object to another as if in search of inspiration. “The shop of Lien-Yin is closed,” he announced suddenly. The Commissioner sprang to his|is feet. He crossed to the rail and|I called to an orderly on duty outside. | {g “] am going to arrest you, my friend,” he said grimly. The servant's eyes dilated with terror and he shrank back against the wall, both hands outstretched in front of him. “But, why, tuan?” “Because 1 have seen a certain man who was in Lien-Yin's shop | when you went” He paused to ob- serve the effect of this feat of imagi- nation. “He heard you warn Lien- Yin that my men were coming to take him.” The features of the swarthy face hardened as the Chinaman's eyes fell upon the figure of the orderly who jurked inquiringly on the threshold. “It is a lle, tuan,” the servant pro- tested sullenly, “because there was nobody in the shop when I went.” Hewitt turned abruptly to conceal the smile that played at the corners of his mouth. “Take him away,” he commanded, #and don't let him out of your sight.” » . de; a ret th ec! se! th .

Captain John Hewitt had long ago given up collecting curios, and yet this great bronze jar fascinated him. If indeed the ashes of the great Chai- Hung reposed within, his own trou- blas were at an end, Pennington was tree to return to Singapore, and the Whole of the scattered white com- munity of the island were at liberty to retire tranquilly to rest. More- over, it seemed as if within the | funeral urn of Chai-Hung lay the key to Monica's happiness. He rose presently and. lifting the jar from its perch, turned it round and round in his hands. The thing was a masterpiece of Orienttal crafts- manship, and the lettering that he had believed to be painted on the bronze surface—was inlaid, a process that must have taken years of patient toil to accomplish. And yet Chai- Hung had only been dead for a mat- ter of days! He found himself won- dering what the inscription implied, and wishing that Chinese Pennington —who could have speedily enlight- ened him—had chosen any other time but this to be away. For some season or other, he began to feel dis- satisfied with the way in which the trophy had come into his possession. 1t was a perfectly natural sequence of events, after all, and perhaps it was that which worried him most. Hewitt flicked the ash from his cigar. Turning abruptly, he saw Monica standing in the doorway. She was wearing the same kimono as when Pennington had surprised them in the office, and the Siamese kitten was tucked snugly under one arm. Tt geemed to the Commissioner that she was unusually pale and there were dark lines under her eyes that he had not noticed before.

England’s new ‘“‘mystery ship,” sub- marine X-1, was launched here re- cently, newspapermen and spectators were rigidly excluded, and the ap- proaches to the dockyards were heav- ily guarded to make sure no unauthor- ized person should see her take the water. Nevertheless it can be said the launching was in all ways success- ful, and the latest addition to under- sed power was at once towed to the dockyard for completion. The new vessel is the last word in submarines; she is really a submersi- ble battle-cruiser. Her displacement when submerged will be 3,600 tons, 1,400 tons greater than that of the largest German submarine and con- siderably greater than any of the ex- On the sur- face the X-1 will use steam for navi- gation, but when submerged will use electricity. There is great diversity of opinion regarding the size of the new vessel's armament. In some quarters it is sald she will mount a gun of 12 or 13.5-Inch calibre, It is possible, how- ever, that the X-1 has been designed for a high surface speed, enabling her to work with the Grand Battle Fleet. If this is true a big gun would not be carried. . The cost of the new submarine, apart from armament and ordnance stores will be nearly $5,000,000.
