JHE YECLOW SEVEN % CHINA-TEA! oy BEGIN HERL TODAY _ Captain John Hewitt, Commissioner -Of Police at Jesselton, British North Borneo, has a widowed sister, Monjca Viney. Peter Pennington is detailed by the government to apprehend Chal-Hung, leader of The Yellow Beven, a gang of Chinese bandits, Chai-Hung captures Captain Hewitt and tells him that he means to kill Eim. Hewitt is held prisoner while Chai-Hung goes to to call on Monica. He asks her to visit him in his home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Chal-Hung appeared to reflect. He Btepped presently aside as she walked her pony past him, his piercing eyes never leaving her face. She stared hard at a leaf gleamed white in a truant ray of| tropical sunshine that had managed to pierce the interwoven screen of foliage above, but a force, greater| than any she had yet encountered, seemed to be tugging at her. A drowsy feeling crept over her and she woke, as if from a dream, to find | herself looking down into orbs that| Blowed like wells of fire. The flabby fingers of the bandit had closed | round the bridie ond the Bajau pony | was browsing on the soft herbage that fringed the forest track. * “One is never in a hurry in Bor. | neo,” he was savirz. I should like | you to.come and see me sometimes.” | “I'm afraid that would be impos- | sible,” Monica hastened to assure | him. “It ‘must be perfectly obvious | to you, Mr. Chai-Hung, that, under| existing circumstances, a visit such as | you suggest is entirely out of the| question.” Her cheeks had gone | suddenly pale and two bright spots | of erimson glowed beneath her eyes. “Please let go my bridle.” The Oriental did not appear to| have heard. * “I admire you immensely,” he con- tinued with an oily smoothness that filled the girl with utter loathing, *1 do not presume to imagine you have glven credence to the exaggerated fairy tales that have been spread con- cerning my supposed exploits, Neither would you be prepared to condemn me without a trial. will hardly believe me, perhaps, when I tell you that T was actually on my way to gee you when I had the good fortune to meet you face to| face. 1 was coming to leaye my card.” In spite of herself, Mrs, could not restrain a smile. “Mr. Chai-Hung," she protested, ) “You have seen fit to credit me with & certain amount of intelligence. 1 feel highly flattered, I assure you— until you deliberately proceed to in- suit it . "Now, will you be good| enough to let me go-" | An ugly light shone in Cha!-Hung's eyes and he raised his voice to a pitch that sent a chill sensation pass- ing down her spine. “I was going to tell now live. Are you—af and see me, Mrs. Viney? “Afraid! Of course not. should I be afraid?’ *“Are-yon agraid of—that?" He held the thing before her face =80 closely that she started baclk, | momentarily incapahle of visualizing it.. Suddenly she clutched at the sad- | dle and uttered a wild, plercing | geream that set a colony of monkeys shrieking and gibbering. in chorus. She was staring as if fascinated at a | long, narrow strip of pasteboard, | sellow and shiny, with seven black dots marked clearly on its surface, A second Jater and the Chinaman, had uttered a peculiar, guttural cry— | and footsteps hegan pattering down | the giade behind her. Chai-Hung | 1eached up as if to pull her from the saddle. 3 i The pony that had been peacefully | feeding brought up its head with a sudden jerk, causing Chai-Hung to| slip sideways, losing his balance; and | Monica, the shock bringing her to her| senges, found herself raining blows from her riding stock at the yelow | horror at her side. Before the ring of Chai-Hung's men could encircle her, che had| pricked the pony's flanks and ridden | wildly down the forest path, her aureole of £oft curls blowing in the breeze. She had a dim memory of the fa- millar outline of Dawson's bungalow, ! of'a cook-boy taking the reins fro— | Yer trembling fingers, and then she | knew that she was lying, face-down- | wird, in.a long cane chair, sobbing as ¥ her heart would break. | Centuries seemed to pass before she ‘could muster up the courage to shout for the servant. “Where is the Tuan Hewitt" inquired huskily. He went out before makan—and has not yet returned.” ‘Not . back yet?” blankly. “And the Taun Dawson?” that | Viney you where I| she she echoed 3 \ Use Cuticura Soap Daily Bathe with Cuticura Soap and hot water to cleanse your skin and free it from impurities.

And still the cook-boy hesitated, | “Will the mem-sahib take tea?” “Yes, I will have tea as soon as possible. I am very tired,” she ad- ded, as if an excuse were necessary. The boy had almost disappeared through the floorway when she called after him. “Will you send one of the Tuan- 1 wish to speak to him.” “The master has taken them all. A messenger came to him, an hour 4go, with an important paper. He was in a great hurry, for he did not stop to tell me when he would be | back."” Dawson’s servant, entering noise- set the tray on the table in front of her. She glanced up weari- Iy to see the Oriental fall to his hands on the boards, flattening him- self abjectly, his teeth chattering to- gether like a man with the ague. Folowing the direction of his fright-| ened eyes, she became aware that a| broad shadow had fallen across the floor. The color left her cheeks and | her hand shook so that some of the| THE METAL CASE LAY OPEN, DISPLAYING THE WRITHING BODY OF A SNAKE. on amber fluid fell from the the lacquer tray. Chai-Hung stood on the threshold, his hands clasped in front of n.w, beaming amiably in spite of a cer- tain shortness of breath. Behind Lim, on the wooden stairway, a hump-backed coolie, a red paper um- brella stuck under one arm, carried between his two hands a thing that resembled a biscuit-box, shaped Iike a barrel, with a knob at one side and a handle at the top, the existence of which did not appear to have oc- curred to him. “I trust 1 am not intruding, Mrs. Viney?” He dropped uninvited into a chair. "I have hastened to proffer my apologies for my conduct this af- ternoon. I have not been very well, and the remains of a. fever from | which 1 had been suffering went to! my head. u see—I have brought my own tea,” pursued the bandit cheerfully, taking the mettal box from the dwarf, who promptly effaced himself. 5 £ 4 is one of our customs which must appear rather strange to you, Mrs. Viney, In ancient times which for- tunately, perhaps, are past—nobody could tell who were one's friends— and who were enemie A very spout KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE FOR HIM Sylpho-Nathol kills germs and makes the whole home really clean.

He was holding the thing as his servant had done—and not: by the metal handle in the lid. He leaned easily forward and placed it on the table before her, just clean of the tray. “Don’t imagine for one instant that you would poison me,” he observed with the innocent smile of a child. “It caught my eye as I left, and I fancied that it might serve to amuse you," With a deft movement, he tiited up the cap. “Observe the spout!” Monica, carried away by citement of the afternoon, flood - of apparently inconsequent chatter that flowed easily from the. intruder’s lips, forced an exclamation of delight. A voice within her kept repeating itself over and over again, warning her to be on her guard. Dawson’'s servant had crawled to his kitchen-quarters, and she sat alone at tea with the most dreaded des- perado in Eastern waters. There was no trace, however, beneath the mask of affabiiity he now wore, of the hideous idol that had frightened her {in the forest, As Chai-Hung had so accurately pronounced—Monica was inordinately curious. Her fingers itched to ex- plore further and presently they| hovered over the handle, “May 17" she demanded sweetly. “By all means,” said the bandit, his head thrust forward. “I must *xplain one thing. You will find our tea a little different to that to which ~sou are accustomed.” "I remember,” broke in Mrs. Viney, | gaining courage. “You told us about 11t once, in my brother's bungalow in | Jesselton. Don't you remember? | You said that we had treated the | beverage shamefully, diluting it with { milk and spoiling it with sugar.” She grasped the handle and lifted the lid slightly, The difficulty she had anticipated was not there. It came away quite easily. Suddenly, as she bent down to look inside, a door at her elbow swung open and a tall figure, plunging head- long through the aperture, whirled | the pot from her hands, sending it spinning right into Chal-Hung's lap. She sprang to her feet, her eyes| blazing indignation, the lid of the re- | ceptacle still between her fingers, but |the newcomer swept her uncere- | moniously aside and stood, his shoul- | ders stooping, the blue barrel of an automatic flashing in the sunshine. “'8it perfectly still, Mr. Chai-Hung,"” came the cool tones of Chinese Pen- ' nington. “It may interest you to know that I suddenly decided to alter my plans for your capture and rounded up your people this after- noon There were no casualties on our side, my friend!™ | But the bandit was not looking at | Pennington’s weapon, The metal cage lay open on h's knees, displaying cnly a white spout to which no pot was attached-—and the writhing, sinu- ous body of a snake that was swiftly uncoiiing itself, its head drawn back to strike! the ex- by the| (“The Passing of Zara-Kahn,” the series, | next episode of this gripping will start in our next issue.)

The lad had been at the reformatory for a year and a half and would have been discharged soon, it was said, as his record at the institution was very good. He was on parole and had been employed on the Bishop farm here. Hotchkiss pond is an ice pond and is twenty feet deep in many places. John Bishop and a party of ten young men had gone in swimming in the pond early in the evening. As they were about to leave the pond follow- ing their swim Bishop called for Hopkins and received no reply. A search was begun and the boy's | clothes were found on the bank of the | pond where he had left them. He was said to be a good swimmer and it |is thought that he was the victim | of cramps.

Stewart, 53 years old, who was killed yester- day forenoon by John H. Wills, 74, who later murdered his wife Ella, 68, and: then committed suicide. The | bodies of Wills and his wife were found . in their apartment, 26 1-2 | Green street, when detectives broke down the door. Both were shot through the head and. a-revolver was still gripped in | Wills's hands. A love triangle is said | by the authorities to have been re- | sponsible for the tragedy. Mrs. Stewart was last seen yester- day morning, when, according to those living near her Upton Avenue home, she rode away wita “‘an eiderly man.” After the murder and suicide at | Wills's home the police learned that he had told a nephew that he had killed Mrs. Stewart and placed her body in a wood about ten miles from | the city. Blood was found on the shift levers of his car. Mrs. Stewart was the wife of Berth H. Stewart, an electrician at the Du- plex Printing Press Plant. Wills was a wealthy retired business man, com- ing to this city about two years ago from Oklahoma. The, two families formerly lived in the same house. According to stories told by neighbors, Mrs. Wills has been trying for several months to break up a love affair between Mrs. Stewart and her husband, and once threatened divorce proceedings. Post Office Is Looted At Easthampton, Conn. Easthampton, Aug. 8.—The post of- fice in the general store at East Had- | dam near here, was entered early yes- térday morning and $150 in stamps, $50 in cash and a large quantity of store stock stolen, The stamps and cash were taken from an old-fash- | |loned safe that had been opened by a key which was found in a desk. Postmaster Harry Hopkins when he, opened the store at 7 o'clock yester- day morning discovered that entrance had been made by forcing open a rear window. Post office inspectors, state police and the sheriff's depart- ment are investigating. Won’t f’erfnit Search for Remains of Oglethorpe London, Aug. 8.—The University of Georgia has been refused permission to search for the remains of its founder, General James E. Ogle- thorpe, at Cranham, Essex, where he was probably buried. “The Univer- sity’s desire to have the remains and enshrine them in Georgia is appre- clated,” the Daily Mails says, mindful doubtless of the indignation caused by the circumstances of the search for the remains of Pochahon- tas, the chancellor of the diocese of Chelmsford, in which Cranham is embraced, has refused thus far to grant the permission.

Berlin, Aug. 8.—In the wake of the mark's depreciation and the common- place use of many-ciphered sums, gambling has become & veritable fever among Germans. The infection is particularly evident at the .race courses, Crowds swarin about ' the grounds like ants every day, and the people literally stumble over each other trying to reach the betting ‘ma- chines before the ‘horses are sent |away in the various events. Bookmakers flourish, and the bet- ting machines do a huge business. The lowest bet accepted is 5,000 marks, and the highest is an open quesfion. At the Gruenewald track the otber day a hookmaker was heard refusing a bet of 100,000,000 marks at even money. Many of the foreigners in Germany patronize the German tracks, but for- eigners and Germans also follow closely the French races. The results from Paris are distributed about Ber- lin every night on sports agency leaflets at subscription or single-copy prices. Yet much “loose’” money appears to be about for other kinds of speciila- tion. Lotteries, card-playing, and the stock market each claim a consider- able following. One lottery invelv- ing a total of 19,500,000,000 marks is prominently advertised in Berlin. The police swoop down almost every night on private houses or clubs where un- authorized games of chance are under way. Many people not on the Bourse find means of acquiring stock shares which they have been ‘tipped” to buy, only to sell in a day or so when, they hope. the quotations will be higher.
