- RRUNTOEARTHS ‘Puu SERVICE INC.923. (This unusual series of stories deals with the exploits of “Chinese” Pen- nington, a detective sent by his gov- ernment to British North Borneo to run to earth The Yellow Seven, a #ang of Chinese bandits.) A lean face was thrust into the opening of the tent and a man, who ‘was sitting alone over some papers epread on a case around the base of & hurricane-lamp, looked up sharply. **‘Are you Pennington?" The man with the Chinese eyes rose to his feet, ‘““That's my name."” An expression of relief spread over | the newcomer’s countenance, [ “I've been searching for your head- | quarters for the best part of two hours. I'm Clay. I arrived in this| forsaken island a matter of five days | ago, pattin' myself on the back at| havin’ knocked across a soft billet— | and here I am in the wilds of Bor-| neo, with a company of black devils| and a fifteen pounder gun that 1] haven't the remotest idea what to do | with! I've instructions from Cap- | tain Hewitt—Commissioner of Police | at Jesselton—to report to you for| duty.” | He squirmed through the narrow | aperture, stooping low to avoid bump- | ing his head, unconcernedly disposed | six feet three inches of manhood on | & length of sacking that covered a neat pile of kerosene tins, “Good man! I was beginning to ‘wonder when you were going to turn up. ‘Where are your men?" | “Standin’ very much at ease out- | side. I split 'em up into platoons | and spread 'em out a bit. We'd have | been here earlier if it hadn’t been for that eonfounded gun. It got stuck regularly every half hour. Tast night we had to hack down a tree to get (it out, Forty-seven and a half hours forced marchin’, my boy, and every | man present!' Pennington laughed, He tacitly admired Hewitt's good taste in se- lecting Clay for the job. He sat for some moments, stroking an unshaven chin, then, removing a portion of the case, extracted a square bottle and a pair of tumblers. *I've a sort of skeleton force of my own scattered round the base of the hill,” he said, measuring out the precious fluid with generous exacti- tude. “They're tough little chaps who can find their way easily in the jungle. We've insttalled a telegraph system by means of Dusum gongs hung in trees.” _“If you're pouring that out for me,” broke in the other, “I'll have an inch more soda. So Chai-Hung's up there, is he?” Pennington nodded. “We've cornered him at last—and tomorrow's got to see the end of the Yetlow Seven.” Clay shifted his long legs into a more comfortable position and tapped & pipe on the heel of his riding-boot. “D'you know,” he confessed sud- denly, “beyond the fact that Mr. Chai-Hung's not a nice sort of chap to meet, I remain in sublime ignor- ance of the real reason of all this ex- pended energy. You don't glean much from a sudden 'phone-call from a harassed official, y'know. What I'm. tryin' to get at by all this is: who is Chai-Hung, when he's at home -~and what in the name of all that's holy is the Yellow Seven?” ‘“The Yellow Seven is the name of & secret saciety the members of which are exclusively of Chinese origin, and whose symbol is a yellow Chinese playing-card ornamented with seven blaek dots. Hewitt cabled for me when the trouble had grown too big for him' to cope with. 1 formed a Httle band of native enthusiasts and pooured the country from one end to the other, posing sometimes as a Oelestial, at others as a tribesman. You see, Clay, the organization was t0o vast to suppress by sheer force of arms, the island swarmed with Chai- Hung’s spies and the only possible method of achieving success was to separate the brigand from the bulk of Ms followers, hem him in at a spot where the chances of egress were re- mote and converge upon him from all points at once. Chai-Hung and his immediate bodyguard have heen driven from the forest into a small, arid plateau. A few of his disciples still cling to him, but the vast ma- jority, obeying false signals arranged by myself, are concentrating in re- mote portions of British North Bor- neo, where Hewitt is on the lookout for them.” A few moments later a native in a greasy velvet jackeet and a rusty sarong entered silently and stood at ASPIRIN Say “Bayer” and Insist!

Clay, ob- serving him curiously, noticed that the man was minus an ear and an eye, that his mouth was slit at either side and that he carrieid an enormous parang in a wcoden sheath bound with bamboo. “Rabat-Pilai, the Tuan Clay has brought with him many soldiers. You will guide them to the points I indi- cated this afternoon. There is also with them a thing on wheels whose voice is very terrible and certain men A NATIVE IN A JACKET AND A , RUSTY INTERED, GREASY SARONG whose sole object in life is to make it speak!.. This must go in the square place among the trees and he covered with bushes until the morning.” The scarecrow saluted and disap- peared, Pennington smiled . “He's my famous chief-of-staff. He'd come from the farthest extrem- ity of the earth if he thought 1 was in trouble,” Clay was polishing the bowl of his pipe on his breeches. “When do we start making it hot? Dawn? “A trifle after that Tnere mustn't be the slightest opportunity for Chai- Hung to break through our cordon under cover of darkness, Know what he looks like?"” The other felt for his pocketbook. “Hewitt presented me with a photograph. 1 gather that he's lost his left hand since that was' taken. Does he speak English?" “Perfectly. He has the manners and polish of a diplomat when he chooses."” Clay thrust his head outside and brought it back wearing an expression of disgust. “Rainin’ like the devil,” he an- nounced. “Wonder if my orderly's put my tent up yet? If it's all the same to you, I'll hop along and see.” He dived into the darkness, leaving Pennington to his own reflections. Three minutes later Rabat-Pilai joined him. paper into the Englishman's hand. “Jesselton—16th,” it read, “Chinese rounded up successfully in most dis- tricts. Sending Dawson. Possibly join you myself.—Hewitt,” “Any reply, Tuan?” Pennington reflected, then scribbled | four words on a half sheet of note- paper: “All going well.—Pennington.” He bit the end of his pencil, erased the signature and added: “Reinforcements arrived.

Pos- sibly join you myself! He had never expected his excellency the Commis- sloner of Police to resist the tempta- tion of being in at the death. He jerked up his head. i Somebody had blundered into a rope, tripped over it and apparently utilized it to assist him to his feet again, for the tent swayed as if in the throes of an earthquake. The shock was followed by a somewhat colored dissertation on tents in gen- eral and tent-ropes in particular. “Who's that” demanded Penning- ton sharply. The swearing ceased and presently a low chuckle broke upon his ears. “Pennington, or I'm a confounded liar! I'll give you three gucsses.' “Don’t need 'em, old son.

Lord, Penn,, it's a devil of a night!" The affable Dawson squeezed his great form into the one place that offered cover from the deluge with- out and lowered himself on to the spot Clay had vacated. “Not bad-—for you,” said the man with the Chinese eyes, flshing out a third glass. “Three minutes after the runner, I've just replied to the message announcing your departure.'” The red face of the newcomer be- came susdenly serious. ‘“The dickens you have! Hewitt | dispatched it six hours before I left. The blighter's been messing about on the way.” “Got a thorn in his foot or some- thing. You look cold.” “Cold! I'm soaked to the skin!

Pretty good man, I should think.” He stripped off his tunic and, cool- ly appropriating a blanket frém Pen- { nington’s bed, wrapped it round him. Pennington pushed over a small bottle of tablets and a tumbler. “Where do you intend sleeping?” I “Here.” saluted—and was (Continued in Our Next Issue) IT¥0 BOYS DYING AFTER | BEING BURNED AT STAKE, !
