He stood in a commanding position in ‘the center of the first-class deck of the little Barudu—moored along- side the white jetty—a tal figure with &n aristocratic stoop and a monocle that' delighted all native beholders. .

A long, lean, stoopy man with a funny puggaree and red tabs.” - “And—there you are!” interpolated Chinese Pennington through the affics window. ‘Monica has the eye of'an ‘awk!” ‘Penmington climbed through the window and took the glasses from the other's hand.

He's a sort of traveling inspector.” “Oh!” gasped Monica. “You don’t think they’ve sent him here to take . Jack’s place?” “Not on your life! Armitage don’t Mke work.

True enough, our pet bandit was badly winged by Rabat-Pilal and the activities of the Yellow Eeven have been temporarily suspended; but while Chai-Hung exists there's gbing to be trouble on this {sland, and it's up to me to stop it." ““Where is Cha{-Hung?" Chinese Pennington spread out his hands. “Vanished from the face earth,"” “Lost his left hand in your last stunt, didn’t he?"' queried the Com- missioner. ‘‘“Wherever he happens to be, Chai-Hung'll be thirsting for your blood." A heavenly smile spread over Pen- nington's boyish features. “I didn’t do it. I only wish I had. It was my chief of staft—Rabat-Pilai —who accomplished the dirty deed. He's dried the gruesome relic over the fire and carries it about with him.” “And the ring’ said Monica eager- ly; “the ring with the green stone?” “He wears that. 1 hadn't the heart to deprive him of it, seeing that the bandit robbed him of an ear and an eye in their last encounter.” Monica retreated to her chair and, folding her hands over one knee, gazed through palm-clad slopes to the riband-like road below. “I wish with all my heart you could of the THE MAJOR DEPOSITED HIM- SELF IN THE MOST COMFORT- ABLE CHAIR WITHIN REACH. catch him, Peter. I hate to think of you roaming about in the jungle with every chinaman’s hand against you; it gets on my nerves.' “T wonder if he’s heard that I'm stfil in the land of living,” mused Pennington. ‘Did I ever tell you that Varney buried me with all due pomp and ceremony—and placed a suitable inscription over my head?” “Peter,” Hewitt sald earnestly, “do your damndest, but for Heaven's sake take precautions. Chai-Hung's terrible enough under ordinary cir- cumstances, but Chai-Hung deprived of one hand will be like a.wounded " “I know,” returned the man with the Chinese eyes. He smfiledy across at Monica. “But he’s still the same delightful yellow-skinned scoundrel whose habits I've made a life-study. I camse here to get him and, although I've falled to do so scores of times. I've kept him on the run. There'd been the duece to pay in Borneo if he'd been left quietly to his own re- sources,” “And yet,” sald Monica, still un- convinced. “you haven't a notion where he is now.” “No, but my men are beating the fsland pretty thoroughly and, from what I gathered this morning, there're getting warm.” “This morning! But you haven't been out!” Pennington’s face wrinkled. “I'm going to let you into a state secret. Did you happen to hear a Dusun gong beating between nine and ten?” “Yes,” sald the commissioner; "I had half a mind to send an orderly I only permit gong-beating in the vicinity of my house on feast-days and times of national rejoicing. “That would have been a pity,” retorned the other, “because I should have lost the interesting portion of o most breezy dispatch from the zone of war.” Hewitt grabbed his hat frotn a peg. “The worthy MAjor has found his way to our slope, All things con- sldered, it would be ag well perhaps it I went to meet him.” “You don't want me, by any chance?” inquired Pennington, “Not unless you particularly want to come.” “T don't.” He waited until the Coramissioner had gained the enft carth outside, then dived for the $ALESMAN $AM NEVER WINS A RACE. 1T AINT TH' NAGS- 15 TH' JOCKEYS) THAT ‘ER GOOD- | | NO U COULD RIDE BETTER THAN BN OF EM of Mouoaceticacidester - _NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST passage-way, I'm off’ he added to Monftea. “Coward.” “Not in the least.

The change from the two shift to the three shift system included at first only the blast furnace workers. Open hearth workers will be placed on the eight hour shift on August 16, it is reported and by the end of the year every worker in the Gary plant will' be on the eight hour basis. As a result of the change, the men will receive a wage increase of 25 per cent, figuring on the basis of time em- ployed, but they actually will receive 80 cents a day reduction in wages. Under the old system however they had to work four hours longer to earn $4.80 than they will to earn $4. It will ‘require 'the hiring of 500 additional blast furnace men at Gary to put the program into full effect. It is estimated that in the United States it will require employment of 65,000 more workers ‘and an increase in the annual payrell of $45,000,000. down?

INSANE MAN SHOOTS THREE INFALL RIVER Two Are Dead, Othr Liable to Die; Ki_llgr_lsr_canght Fall ‘River, Mass, Aug. 13.—Two men were shot and killed and a third probably fatally wounded when John Kennedy of Tiverton, R. 1., ran amuck with a revolver here yesterday. Ken- nedy was later arrested by a mounted policeman after a street gun fight in which he was twice wounded. The dead are: James Clarke, an elderly man, and James Laflamme, both of this city, James Shaw, alsoof Fall River, was shot through the ad- domen. According to the stories ‘told by Kennedy's father, nelghbors and po- lice, young Kennedy walked into the yard at Clarke's house where the lat- ter was sitting chatting with Kennedy, senior, and gave each m-. three bul- Llets. 4 ‘‘Here are three pills for each of you,” he is reported to have" said. When he drew a revolver and fired one shot, killing ~Clarke instantly. The elder Kennedy sought refuge be- !'hind a-barn. Three more shots were | fired into Clarke's body. WMAF | Laflamme, a neighbor, heard ' the {Round Htlls. Corp. shooting and came into the yard ac- South Dartmouth, Mass.) companfed by Ulric Robillard, his brother-in-law. As he. stood over| Clarke's body, young Kennedy came | i from behind the barn, | ““What's the matter here?” he ask- ed. “Has somebody been shot?” “I guess so,” Laflamme answered. At once according to Robillard, Ken- | nedy drew his revolver again, held it close to Laflamme’s face and fired. | He then walked out of the yard and meeting another neighbor, James Shaw, Kennedy fired two shots, one of them which took effect. Physiclans said Shaw's abdominal wound would probably prove fatal. A mounted policeman, Daniel 8ul- livan, heard the two shots, galloped in pursuit of the gunman. Kennedy took cover behind a telegraph pole and reloaded his gun. He fired three shots at Bulllvan, who returned the fire, wounding Kennedy in the should- er. In a second exchange the shots Kennedy was wounded in the leg and fell, dropping his revolver. Sullivan rushed in and captured the weapon. Kennedy was taken to a hospital. His injuries were said to be minor. Kennedy had recently been confin- ed in a Rhode Island hospital for the insane.

EXPECT QUIETIN_[SERIOUS TROUBLE, IRISH ELEGTONS ERAGES GERWANY D¢ Vilora's Bloction o Clare Seat | Strikes and Riots tn Country Fob oeze i By _The Associated’ Press. - - - Dudblin, Aug. 18.—There is Ilittle sign . of any popular: excitement over the approaching elections in Ireland, although the day for nominating can- didates has been fixed for August 18. Election day s August 27, 7 Acco! to present indications there will be four candidates for every seat. De Valera's election to one of the Clare seats has been conceded, but it is not thought lkely he will carry with him any other republican can- didates. . Some of his followers fear gn attempt may be made on his life at Ennis. The Free State supporters have been making capital of the irregular outrages. Republicans repudiate these charges, offering a program of educational and social reform. Sixty out of ‘153 seats is the most favorable prediction made in behalf of the Free Btate party. Next, it is believed, will come the farmers with probably 40 seats. 5 The- existing ministry is expected be ‘able to hold office with the sup- port of the farmers and the independ- ents. Parliament does not assemble until September 19. During the interval, President Cosgrove desires to attend the league of nations meeting at Ge- neva at which it is expected Ireland will be elected to membership.
