JIE YELOW SEVEN:- R Ouiea SERVICE: aF INC.928 % BEGIN HERE TODAY Captain John Hewitt, Commis- sloner of Police at Jesselton, British North Borneo, has as guest Enid Bromley, daughter of Chard Bromley, réw manager of the Baniak-Baniak rubber estate. Peter Pennington, en- gaged by the government to appre- hend Chai-Hung, leader of The Yel- low Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits, loves Hewitt's sister, Monica Viney. F% Jocelyn Gwynne comes to Jesselton and tells Pennington that he knows Chard Bromley and that Bromley has ; no’ daughter. - “‘Anyhow, I had been having a spot with Chard Bromley at the hotel. Just as I was thinking of pushing off, & notorious bad hat tried to touch him for money. Bromley's . a pretty decent little chap, . taking him all round, and I thought my intgrference ‘was justified. Soames hadn’t heard what I'd said to Bromley, but I gathered from the look he gave me when he cleared that he understood what had come between the planted and his generosity. 1 followed him out, partly out of curiosity and part- ly ‘because-I wanted an excuse for going—and, leaning against the stone parapet, I saw Chai-Hung. He was in' pukka evening-kit and his shirt front was immaculate. - ' About half a dozen paces from him a large car was waiting. Soames walked “% straight up to him and, before T * ‘could collect my ~senses, they had driven off together.” ! “Soames and Chai-Hung,” mur- mured Pennington. “I don't think I remember Soames.” “Qh, he's an actor-feller—rather a clever impersonator as a matter of fact—who washed out of a revue company while they were playing at Singapore. Drugs were , his chief troitble, I understand.” ‘“Chard Bromley's over here now,” eaid the Commissioner. “By the ray, you referred to him as a little feller; I shouldn't call Bromley little, would -you, Dawson ?" Dawson, shook his ously. | “Searcely.” Gwynne looked from one other in amazement. “Are’you sure?” “'Positive.” The Commissioner smiled condescendingly at the young- er man, who had crimsoned to the roots .of his hair. “‘His_ daughter's staying 'at my place now.” "DE“E}“&!‘?” | J“People do haVe daughters, know,” put in Dawson. _ Pennington laughed. “Come along, Gwynne,” We're go- ing to rope you in for :dinner with us. You've got hold of the wrong man, old son; doné it myself scores ‘of times.* ? “I tell you T met Chard Bromley in the bar at Raffles. He was a little man, and I'm prepared to wager Le hadn’'t a daughter with him.” Hewitt rose to his feet, the others following suit, “*Someone’s been pulling your leg,” he told him. “Chard Bromley’s here ‘all‘right. 1 happened-to see his cre- ‘dentials myself, and they were per- tactly in order. ‘He's talking about arranging a gigantic housewarming, by the bye, in.the bungalow the late manager never lived to see com- pleted. 1 suppose everybody who's anybody'll' be there.” Pennington affécted surprise. “You going, Jack?" “I.don’t see why Commissioner. “And Monieca?" “She’s pretty keen on the notion."” They left the clubhouse and de- scended the steps that led to the road. © Dawson and Gwynne walked in front. “Bromley’s area's still restless,” said Pennington after a prolonged pause. “If he raided the estate while you were dancing, Chai-Hung'd stand @ fair chance of bagging every important functionary in Borneo.” Hewith laughed. “Twenty or thirty whites would give your friend a deuced’ warm re- eeption. I'm not forgettting the Yel- Jow Seven and I'll make it my busi- nese to insure nobody gogs empty- Ly ke T L R Capladn John Hewitt stretched himeelt wearily, pushed from in fromt of him the documents at which he had been working after dinner, and strolled out on the veranda. ACID IN STOMACH SOURS THE FOOD Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Canse of Indi- gestion ¥ i < head ponder- to the ¥ L you not,” said the A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are mearly always due to acidity—acid stomach—and not, as most folks be- lieve, from a fack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro- chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- tion; then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. When then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or pausea. He tells us to lay aside aids and instead get from any phar- macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass o water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to con- tinue this for one week.

Thirty seco! later he had succeede! in tracing the dim outline of the missing piece of furniture—not a dozen yards from the foot of the steps. A single glowing spot—accentuated against the blackness—indicated that the chair was occupied. Hewitt went down. “That you, Peter?” The pleasantly contralto Enid replied to him. “No. it's I, Captain Hewitt, The others have gone down to the coast. Mrs. Viney was anxious to discever how the native fishermen spiked fish.” He took the flight at a couple of strides and, selecting a wicker stool, placed it in the immediate proximity of Miss Bromley. “Why didn't you go and see the fishing by lamplight, Miss Bromley?” She tossed the end of her cigarette into the darkness. “It didn't seem altogether fair go- ing out to enjoy ourselves while you were slaving away in there. So I stopped.” room and the tones of HE ARMS. SWEPT ENID INTO HIS There was something about Enid Bromley that was far more intoxi- cating than the contents of the decan- ter. “That was really very nice of you,” Hewitt contrived to respond. “I'm sorry you missed the show on my ac- count. It's quite an interesting spectacle. ‘The fish comes up to see what the light is—and Mr. Black Man jabs his spear/into it." The girl laughed. “Couldn’t we go tonight?" “Certainly, if you're not too tired. Would you like to?"” “Awfully." On the way to the coast he took her arm, because it seemed a perfect- ly natural and permissible thing to do. They stood for a while, applauding the efforts of men in loin-cloths and their sarongs tucked until a laughing girls, up well above their knees, wave—more ambitious than its pre- decessors—threatened to encircle them. He swept Enid into his arms and deposited her presently on a con- venient grass-grown bank among the trees. They talked in disjointed sen- tences, without either appearing to notice, Suddenly the girl sighed. “It's simply wonderful!

Didn't you know it was like this?" - A-voice that Hewitt dimly. under- stood was his own replied. “It wasn't like this—until came,"” ¥ It was too'dark for him to ste the look of triumph in her eyes. They had closed, moreovgr, by the time he had realized that her parted lips were tantalizingly near his own—and bad bridged the distance with an im- petuosity ‘that was. new to him.

I've got to join him immediately! He's lonely up there. You'll come to our house-warming, won't you? and bring everybody you ean, I want it to be a big success.” And,Captain Hewitt promised. Dawson had gone back to the rest- house and Mbnica was evidently in the act of undressing, for she con- tented herself with calling to them over the partition that separated her room from the veranda. “How late you are—you two!" “We came down to meet you,” said Enid. “I don't know how we missed you. ~ Are there two ways?" “There are—and Jack knows them both. He ought to have remembered that we never take the path through the trees. I suppose that's how you missed us,” she added with a touch of malice. There are decided drawbacks to talking through a wall—even if only a wooden one, Hewitt felt tiis, “"Aren’t you coming out “No, I can't.” “You can slip on a dressing-gown. Be a sport!” . “Not me,” laughed Monica. “‘Pe- ter's hanging about somewhere—and I've more self-respect than to let him see me with my war-paint off.” “I've something to tell you.” He almost said ‘we,’ but checked himself in time. “L can hear you here. ‘What is it?"” In some respects Hewitt was sensi- tive, He was particularly keen on secing for himself the effect of his statement upon his sister, Nor was he altogether satisfied that Monica liked Enid. “Enid—Miss Bromley's going up- country tomorrow,” he said, suddenly endowed with a happy inspiration. “In which case,” asserted the ex- asperating voice which might have been at the far end of a long-distance 'phone, “the sooner she gets to bed— the better. The train leaves just after breakfast.” The Commissioner went to his rcom, walking with unnecessary em- phasis. Enid paused outside her own door and blew a kiss to him from the tips of her fingers. Ko perfectly from As Héwitt had predicted, almost everybody who mattered went to Chard Bromley's house-warming. The Commiscioner and Monica were among the first arrivals, Dawson put- ting in an appearance an hour or so later in company with Moorhouse, district officer at Dukit-Tban. Chi- nese Pennington was presumably keeping a watchful eye on the move- ments of the Yellow Seven, for neither he nor Jocelyn Gwynne showed up at dinner. Besides Enid Bromley and Monica there were seven other women —wives of planters and officials. The meal was served under a vast awning, illuminated by means of an electric light plant installed by the late man- ager. ° * (Continued in Qur Next Issue) Accessories Shell You will find it a great convenience to have a narrow shelf built above your sink in which to keep vegetable scouring soap and such ac- VOICES 1N THE AIR | L 1 AR SN S Tuesday, August. 21, 1923, .

DARKEN YOUR GREY HAIR Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its na- tural color dates back to grandmoth- er's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and at- tractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or strcaked appear- ance,. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date, Nowadays by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's. Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in- gredients, which can be depended up- on to restore nafural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has heen applied. You siniply dampen a | sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, - taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautfully dark and glossy. ‘series of tests in railroad tunpels TUNNELS MENACE . GREWS OF TRAIN PRESATIS ] Many ' Factors. Make Passages Perilous.-For Men in Locomotives ‘Washington, Aug. 21.—If you chafe and choke over the heat fumes en- tering your railway car the next time you go through a.tunnel, think of the men in the engine cab and be happy. For, says the ‘bureau of mines, the heat'to which trainmen are subjected not only ranges as high as 136 degrees, ‘but the smoke and moisture-laden atmospherg is often filled with deadly carbon monoxide gas. The bureau recently conducted a in connection with investigation into ac- cldent causes. Out of 40 tunnel trips whose duration ranged from 4% to 25 minutes, it was found that carbon monoxide was present in the air in 34 cases, Hot exhaust gases from the engines were another source of dan- ger. Exhaustion of train crews due to ex- posure to atmospheres containing carbon monoxide, or to exceedingly high + temperatures saturated with moisture, ‘was: said undoubtedly ' to have been the cause of many acci- dents. Results' of physiological tests over periods of ten: mintites in engine cabs showed that 'the ' conditions there might be severe enough to cause as- phyxiationor exhaustionin periods of 20 minites; in case an engine became stalled jn a tunnel. ‘While the bureau, has experimented with gas masks for the use of cab ¢rews, and has perfected a small pocket respirator for quick use when in a tunnel, it'has. been concluded that the most satisfactory method for overcoming ;thé tunnel atmospheres is by supplying fresh air to the men from the train's air brake system. A supply is ‘led ‘to each man through a small rubber tube with an ordinary funnel on the;end, which, when held close to the face, furnishes an ade- quate fresh air supply.

POISONS THE SYSTEM NATURE HAS PROVIDED RELIEF For every violation of her laws Na- ture exacts a pennliy: but she also has wisely provided relief, especially for the ailments of the human sys- tem. Since constipation ‘is the most common of ailments, Nature endowed certain herbs, seeds, barks and leaves with laxative properties. arly set- tlers (ependent entirely upon Na- ture, used the extracts from these plants to relieve ‘and correct consti- pated conditions. Over Seventy years ago, an old- fashioned Maine . country doctor who didn't believe in harsh cathartics orig- inated a preseription known as Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxa- tive, which since has given relief to many thousands of constipation suf- ferers. The herbs used in its preparations are imported and of strictly pure quality; it helps to correct the cause naturally and relieve- its attendant evils; it purifies the bowels as it cleanseg. Here 1s one of the thousands of cases where Dr. True's Elixir has helped. “As you have been a God- send to me, that is ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed,’ I will write and tell you about the value of your medicine —Dr, True's Elixir; believe me, it helped me. I eat every thing that comes along; no more diet, I even tried raw onions for a test.. Is that not luck after nine long years of only milk and eggs?’—Mrs, J. E, (Nutley, To have a suitable - laxative, one which she knows will prove effective, be easy to take and guaranteed pure, Mrs. Peter Velme of North Charles- ton, 8. C., sent up North. She gays: “I have great faith in Dr. True's Elix- ir, the True Family Laxative and Worm Expeller, and have been using it for over ten years. 1 send for it to my old home at Oxford, Me.” ‘A well-known New Yorker writes: “While visiting in historic old Ply- mouth (Mass.), my family became ac- quainted with your Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative and Worm Expeller.. It does all you claim for it in aiding digestion and relieving in- somnia and constipation. Please ship me six large size bottles, for mother is in need of it.”—Wm. I. Ralph. Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative, was first a Maine medicine, then New England, now International. 40c—60c—$1.20. 4 F—————————————————————— ——— e FAVORS LIBRARIES A3 HOME SCHOOLS Books Being Used More and More| For Seli-Education by Americans Chicago, Aug. 21.—American peo- ple are using their libraries as home universities for self-education instead of for amusement, according to Carl H.
