Pennington meets Dora Bateson, daughter of Hyde, and tells her to beware if she recelves a fan for a gift. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Not in the least!' he smiling. "I like a woman to smoke— it she cares for it.” “And yet you're old-fashioned enough to disapprove of women rid- ing alone” Before Pennington could reply, the planter had hooked down his hat and was making for the steps. retorted, i “A chinese playing card with a vellow face upon which seven black dots are printed. If ever you should kear of one of these, send for me at cnce, If there's nobody to send— come to me yourself.” “Is that all?” He followed her to the top of the short flight, “Just one other thing. If a China- man should offer you a fan, accept it without comment. It will be in a silk case. On no account remove that case. Bring it to me, as it {s.” 8he held out a slim hand. “You dont’ explain very clearly why a fan should be offered to me!" “It's merely a supposition on my part, based on two things. The first being that, unless my calculations are sadly at fault, our oriental friend has chosen this territory for his next area of operations.” The girl started. “And the second?" Pennington smiled queerly. “There have already been two re- that rash continue to annoy you What a miserable little biting sting there is every time you touch ‘that eruption!

This was an in- increase of 53 per cent over the 1921 output, The total value of the cars manu- factured, the flgures show, was $81,- 056,429, Capital invested in the in- dustry amounted to $13,831,084. Ma- terlals utllized in construction had a value of $64,408,719. Wages amount- ed $13,831,084 and 7,384 persons were’ employed in the industry during the year. The automobile industry has exper- lenced a remarkable development in Canada in the last five years. Pro- duction has practically doubled. since 1917, Capital invested has increased nearly 100 per cent in the p.r!od, and the value of production has grown from $64,466,273 to $81,056,429. Most of the automobiles manufac- tured in Canada are sold in the Dominion, although a prosperous ex- port trade is being built up with South America, the United Kingdom, Aus- tralla, South Africa, Mexico, Norwdy, Sweden and the Netherlands, Auto- number 514,072, The Dominion stands second to the United States as the greatest aytomoblle owning nation: Canada, like the United States, has a large percentage of automobiles on farms, In'many districts in the prairie provinces where settlement has been rapld in recent years, nearly 75 per, cent of the automobiles are owned on BIG REAL ESTATE BOOM Great Demand For Homes at Seaside and Mountain Summer Resorts in Japan Toklo, June 27—~The demand for homes at the various seaside and mountain resorts of Japan made fa- mous by forelgners is ever on the in- crease and those forelgners who in- vested wisely are reaping their har- vest.” Prices have gone up ten fold within the last few years and there seems no tendency to fall. At Karui- zawa, the mountain resort to which missionaries from all over the Far East flock in summer, and where the prince regent will spend part of this season, very high prices are being pald for houses and land. The same is true at Kamakura, Zushi and Hayama, the seaside resorts, formerly almost en- tirely foreign, which have been invad- ed by the Japanese. The property which foreigners are selling is held by them on 999 year leases, ot through virtue of their be- ing members of Japanese land com- panies such as were organized by the [UST RESTRAIN TEARS * 1N BUSINESS WORID .- New York Business Woman Predicts That in a Century Women Will Do All Business New York, Aug. 3.—Women to suee ceed in business must learn to dress comfortably without losing the charm of thelr, sex, and to take correction from the boss without weeping, &cs cording to Mrs. Alice Foote MacDouge all, New York business woman. Mrs. MacDougall, who predicted ree cently that within a century women will be “doing all the business,” sald that the observance of a few simple rules would hasten, the time when | they would take over such control Other suggestions were: “Discuss abstract questions without making personal application of everye thing that is sald. “Stick to agreements without squirming it you are getting the worst of it. “Say ‘no’ at the right time.” PIF PAF DID IT London, England..Albert Peter de Courville, prominent theatrical pro. ducer, who was adjudged bankrupt s few months ago, owes 72,066 pounds it was disclosed here in & hearing.

We can afford to have Mr, | Chai-Hung keeping you on tenter. hooks a little longer—so that we can keep you with us. One last word of warning, Pennington. Never let Dora drag you into an argument, if you can avoid {t!"” He winked broadly and went down the path to where a watchman waited with his mount. He was out of sight when the girl spoke. “I fancy I'm beginning to under- stand. Is it because of this Chal- Hung that you didn’t want me to ride alone?” The other nodded. The boy who had come in nolseless- ly and was in the act of clearing the breakfast things, dropped the tray on to the table from which he had just lifted it. Pennington sprang erect. ¢ “You mustn’t mind Lai-Ho,” sald Dora. “He's not been with us very long, and he's frightfully careless, “It struck me as being a little pe- cullar,” returned Pennington, “that he should display his clumsiness at the moment when you mentioned Chal-Hung.” The girl's forehead wrinkled. “Aren't you rather an uncomfort- able person to know? We've never had the slightest suspicion of trouble up here, before you came. Now we shall all be looking under our beds and behind curtains—hunting for Chinese bandits! I suppose Chal- Hung does exist? To be perfectly frank, we'd come to the conclusion he was a myth invented by the Com- missioner of Police to keep us on the alert.” Pennington crossed the floor leaned his back against the rail. “I'm afraid I must disillusion you, Mrs. Bateson. Chal-Hung, unfortu- rately, is very much in existence just at this moment. I can't exactly ex- plain to you why your portion of this {sland should be so singularly im- mune from the attentions of his gang.” He extended a warning fin- ger. “I want you to understand that it is more by accident than design that he has left you alone. Tm»:l state of security cannot last. You're | lving in a fool's paradise and one of these days somebody or other'll wake up with a nasty jar! T don't want it to be you. Mrs. “Bateson. That's precisely why I'm up against these early-morning excursions through the Jungle.” Dora jammed on her sun-helmet and rose from the chair. “You must run across and meet my husband,” she said. “Do you really want me to cut these rides?"” Pennington passed a finger between his tunie-collar and his neck. Keep within the estate boundaries for a month. I'll try not to make it more—and keep your eyes open.’ “What am I to look for?” inquired Dora innocently.

He vaulted lightly to the soft earth below, and the planter, relinquishing his attempt to re-light the lamp, joined him. “Seen anything?” The other nodded. “There were two of ’em. They were making for the bottom of the slope. Are you coming?" “Most certainly. It's ages since I had any excitement to speak of.” “I fancy I can promise you some,"” returned Pennington grimly. "Come on On the open ground between th buts they encountered a Sikh watch- man who had just passed two men making for Bateson's side of the plan- tation. He had notlced that they were breathless with running, and he thought one of them was the man- ager’s servant. Presently they were in the open padi-lands, the incessant droning of insects in their ears, and the two fu- gitives clearly visible a bare quarter of a mile distant. Pennington was forging ahead at such a pace that the planter found it difficult to keep up with him. In twenty minutes they had halved the distance that stretch- ed between them and thelr quarry. Half an hour later—and Hyde had recognized Lai-Ho. He saw. the white patch of his face as he glanced apprehensively back, and then he lost both of them in a belt of trees that rose like an oasis in a desert of sand. Pennington made a sudden spurt for- werd and vanished, too. On the other side of the trees the planter emerged alone to dlscover nothing but moon- ilght and still more padi-land. ‘Won- dering greatly, he sank to a sitting position on a fallen log, and felt for his pipe. A volce came to him from the darkness. “Hyde! Where are you?” “Here. Where are you?” “In the proverbial soup,” returned Pennington, dropping from a bough. “They've split company—and got clean away with it.” = He squatted on the ground at the planter's feet. «“Shall 1 tell you what, Hyde? There's something I don't quite understand about all this, Lai-Ho «could have —————— CLOTHES MADE WHITER WITH HALF THE LABOR e It is possible to cut washday labor practically in half, yet double satis- faction in the beautiful appearance of the clothes, by the use of the won- derful new discovery, NACO.

It was toward the end of the sec. ond week of Pennington's stay at Hyde's bungalow that he began to display signs of impatience. In des- peration, he cast around for some tangible clue that might serve to as- sist him in his search for Chal-Hung -and his eye fell upon Lai-Hoe, the servant who had dropped the tray. There was a certain amount of sick- ness in Hyde's coolie-lines and, for that reason, Lal-Ho had been told-of to attend to the wants of both the genlal planted and his guest, an ar- rangement which—if it were not al- together agreeable to the Chinaman— gave Pennington ample opportunity of observing -closely the man through whom he vaguely hoped to trace Chai-Hung. They were sitting one evening over their after-dinner cigars ,when Hyde, who was groping for something in a trouser pocket, uttered a muffled ex- clamation and withdrew his hand. The thing that h@held between finger and thumb fluttered to the cloth and both men, springing to their feet bent In speechless dmazement over a Chinese playing card. The black back of the thing lay uppermost and Pennington turned it over with his nail, It was Hyde who broke the silence. “The Yellow Seven!” he muttered hoarsely. “I wonder—" Before he could complete the sen- tence, Pennington had wrenched open the door sending Lai-Ho, who had been listening on the other side, pitching forward on his face. Some- thing shot from the region of his waist and rolled to the planter's feet. It was a knife with a long, thin blade and a handle of buffalo-horn. Hyde stooped to pick it up and Pennington, his hands resting lightly on his hips, surveyed the prostrate Orfental with interest. | “Get up, my friend,” he advised | bim coldly . “There are many ques- |tions T would like to ask you.” He | pointed to the card which still lay on | the table. “Who gave you that Yel- low Seven?" Lal-Ho scrambled to his feet and backed toward the doorway, his eyes blazing fury. Suddenly, as Penning- ton sought to intercept him, the en- tire expression of the swarthy features changed, and the Englishman realized that Lai-Ho was looking beyond him. At the same moment, a- cry from Hyde brought Pennington round on { his heel in time to see a bamboo pole, propelled from without, shatter the lamp-glass and plunge the room {nto | BEST NO. 1 LEAN SMOKED POTATOES .......
