CH Omea service mc.igey’ . 34 BEGINHERE TODAY Peter Pennington, detective, is en- &aged to marry Monica Viney, sister of Captain John Hewitt, Commis- sioner of Police at Jesselton, British North Borneo. Pennington is de- talled by the government to run to €arth The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits. Peter is known as “Chinese” Pennington because of his slant eyes and his abllity to disguise bimself and mingle with Chinese without any one suspecting . his iden- tity. Pennington traces Chai-Hung to his latest hiding place. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “The pack was gradually diminish- ing. There were only 13 cards left ~1 counted them as they lay in the I missioner, yellow light of the lamp. There wx a dramatic pause and in the grim silence that followed only one man spoke. It was Lai-Ho—Hyde's old | servant—and he spoke so softly that I only caught one single word—my own name! happened. ‘The arch-handit, had lain ‘still and motionless as a corpse, raised himself on one arm His fingers, emaciated with the fever that consumed him, hovered over the table—then dropped ,on to a single card. He was too weak to take it | and the thing fluttered to the fioor, falling face-uppermost ndt a yard from where I waited.” “The Yellow Seven!" Hewitt's lips formed the words. Pennington inclined his head. “The lot had fallen upon Hung himself to take my life. And Chai-Hung lay like a dead thing. weakened even with the sheer exer- tion of his effort, while his intended vietim watched unseen!” At the foot of the bamboo ladder the Commissioner turned to Penning- | ton. “I thought you'd like to know that Monica insisted in coming with me on this trip. To tell you the honest truth, T hadn’'t the heart to refuse her. We're staying at Dawson's bungalow. Why don’t you run along and see her?” A look of other's face. “1 daren't” he said thickly. 27 want to' see this thing through first.” The other nodded sympathetically. “When are yoli going to collar bim?" “Tonight. Come to me here at nine | —and come armed.” The Commissioner’s form was out of sight before Pennington turned on his heel and went back to the bamboo bridge where Hewitt had first found him., pain crept into the 8 The sun was already at its zenith when Captain John Hewitt—Commis sioner of Police—haited abruptly at a spot where two jungle paths met— and realized that he had lost his bearings. It was precisely at that moment that he began to regret that Pennington had not offered to accom- pany him. Pennington had an un- canny knack of finding his way through territory that was absolutely uvnknown to him. It was as if that extraordinary freal of birth that ha? presented bim with the eyes of an Oriental had gifted him also with the mysterious instincts of the primeva savage.

BY EDMUND SNELL, IAUSTRATED By RW.SATTERF \ELD fascination at this apparition, A prolonged scrutiny left no doubt in his mind as to the accuracy of Pen- nington's statément. Chai-Hung had been fll. There were dark rings under his eyes, his cheeks had fallen in, and the rolls of fat that hung from his jowl were suspended Ilike the shapeless lines of a deflating balloon. The bandit rose to his feet with a| sudden effort, clutching at the pole for support. Presently he steadied himself and came slowly toward the spot where Hewitt was hiding, his beady eyes blazing with a light that was almost supernatural. The Com- fumbling for his hip- pocket, swayed sideways and broke thes pell that held him, Scarcely conscious of what he was doing, he left the trees and, covering half the distance that separated them, leveled at Chai- Hung. The He broad other's Oriental did not flinch. shoulders and returned the And then a strange thing |gaze with a placid smile. who | Captain “You want to see me, MONICA ENCOUNTERED HUNG NOT A QUARTER CHAI- OF A tired with smoothness he could pour habitual harshness of his when he chose, “I want you to put both your hands above your head, Mr. Chai-Hung, and to come with me immediately.” The bandit smiled again. “May I ask where you propose tak- ing me? It wéuld be unkind per- haps to remind you that you have lost your way!™ He lifted both arms as he spoke, apparently in accordance with Hew- itt's request, and at that moment the Commissioner felt himself pinioned ecurely from behind. So suddenly and cleverly conceived was the attack that the Englishman was overpowered without a struggle, bound hand and foot with leathern thongs swiftly and securely knotted. And, as he lay helpless at the bandit's feet, Chai- Hung signalled for the stool of carved lackwood that still remained outside his temporary residence. “I am going to ‘take you into my confidence, Mr. Commissioner,” he caid. “T am a desperate man, driven by your agents into a corner, forced ations that do not al- with a man of my . I am iil, as you see, but I am going to recover. My wings have been clipped, but they will grow again. The Chinese Dragon, Cap- tain Hewit!, is many-headed—and each head has a fang.” The corners of his evil mouth turned down. “Have you ever heard of a sixth tense ™—a mysterious intuition that indicates when one is being spled upon?—I felt the promptings of that sense—last night. The man they call ‘He Who Sees in the Dark’ came to my house and you will understand me fully «*7n I tell you that I re- turned the call, The man who brought this Pennington to me—I hove dea!t with.

He reached for a branch and pull- ing himself to his feet, went slowly back to the hut, a hunch-backed | coolie following him with the stool. ! Hewitt, a prey to a host of unpleas- l'ant reflections, tore feebly at the | thongs that held him. A sudden ! movement in his immediate vicinity | caused him to jerk his head painfully round. He saw a short, thick-set !Oriental with a parang' hung from | his waist, leaning truculently against | the jack-fruit-tree, “You will remember me, oh Eng- lishman,” said the sentry ggimly. . "I am Lai-Ho, that was the servant of | Hyde. It would be better perhaps | to remain still.” | It was moresthan an hour before Chai-Hung returned. He was su- perbly clad in a mandarin jacket of | blue embroidered with silver dragons and the dwarf followed at a discreet interval, carrying a red umbrella and | a Chinese tea-pot in a nickel case that resembled a biscuit-barrel. “I am on my way to take tea with your sister, Captain Hewitt,” he purred maliciously. “Exercising my customary caution—I am taking my own tea!” | . % | . Quite apart from the risks that threatened her lover, Monica—although she would never have acknowledged it, was desperate- ly curious to know how the duel be- tween ' Pennington and Chai-Hung would end. From the moment she had left the little, ramshackle train to accompany her brother to Dawson’s bungalow, she had become haunted with a vague, indefinite fear that she was being followed. She had confided her fears to the Commissioner, but | Hewitt, seeing in this sudden con- | Viction still another symptom of the nervous trouble he had already no- | ticed, had not expressed surprise. “Ope gets odd notions in these parts,” he told her easily. “It's that same queer restlessness you hear among the trees that gives rise to hosts of native superstitions.” The explanation had sounded logi- cal enough but, on the afternoon of the day Hewitt had started out to meet Pennington, Monica encountered Chai-Hung himself in a narrow glade not a quarter of a mile from Dawson's house. | “Isn't it delightfully cool under the | trees,” she faltered as pleasantly as she knew how. ~She was aware of an uncomfortable feeling that Chal- Hung was a dangerous criminal with a price on his head, a celebrity, in fact, that she must deal with tact- fully until she could get in touch with one of Dawson's men.

It is doubtful that the request will be granted as the department is prac- ticing economy at the present time. Mr. Delaney was recently requested to forward data, relative to the amount of business being carried on at the local office, to the proper officials at Washington. Postmaster Delaney said that he appreciates the need of three deliver- ies in the business district and that if the request for additions to the force are granted that he will see that this is done, Some time ago four deliver- ies were made but they proved im- practicable ‘and but little aid to the business district as the last mail was not ready until too late in the day. Postmaster Delaffey’s term has less than a year to run and at the expira- tion of his term he will take up his law practice, in which profession he was engaged before his appointment, teing assoclated with Judge W. F.
