&1 Quu SERWICE: INC.1923, BEGIN HERE TODAY ’ / ‘Captain John Hewitt is Commis- _ sloner of Police at Jesselton, British ' North Borneo. His beautiful sister, ‘Monica Viney, is engaged to marry Peter Pennington, detective, Pen- .nipgton is detailed by the government ' to apprehend Chai-Hung, leader of The Yellow Seven, a gang of’ Chinese bandits, Pennington is assisted by _his_chief-of-staff, Rabat-Pilai, who hates the bandit chief bitterly. Pen- n@‘tnn heads an expedition to cap- ture Chai-Hung. They move toward the bandit's latest hiding place. /NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ‘‘Brought anything to sleep on?" " My boy isin sole possession of a tartan traveling-rug and a waterproof sheet. The rug is inside the water- proof sheet, so it's bound to be ' *‘Well, that’s good enough, isn't it . Dawson sighed heavily. | "It would be, if I knéw where the 'young idiot was. Unfortunately, we lost .one another a decent while back and I've a notion at the back of my head he's made himself a bivouac somewhers out of the ground-sheet . and 1is peacefully slumbering with my 'tug round his dirty shoulders."” " Pennington surveyed the other du- | blously. “*“Suppose I'll have to fix you up. ‘What part d’you want to take in the show tomorrow? How does the first storming party appeal to you?" “It doesn’t. I've put myself down already for the forlorn hope—when everything else has failed, and I've sufficient confidence in you to refuse to believe in failure. How many of these things am I supposed to take?" . ‘““Three's a good number. Hello! here’s Clay.” . Dawson nodded toward the opening. “Evening, Clay!” “Evening, Dawson! 1 say, Pen- ai) n, didn’t you say the sign of the Yellow Seven was a warning of death?” *"Fhat's right. Why?"” ‘“Well, when I left you I walked straight to where I'd left my kit. The orderly had fixed up the tent and laid out my bed. It's a sleepin’-bag, y'know, and he's never quite got the hang of it. 1 turned back the cover to see what he'd done—and there was this underneath.” He dropped on to the deal table a yellow Chinese playing-card with seven black dots on the upper sur- face. Pennington picked it up. “Good Lord! Have you tackled your man?" Clay shook his head. “That's the devil of it. I find him anywhere.” ' Pennington strode to the ' and peereq out. £ “pawson had better stop here, he fjerked back over his shoulder. “Clay, you and I'll embark upon a tour of inspection. There's a weak point somewhere—and it's up to us to find it.” The ‘blankat over his head until resembled an Indian squaw. “I suppose I'm in full charge while you're away and am at liberty to help myself to the bottle? While fully realizing the necessity for visit- ing outposts on the eve of battie, Penn will excuse me I know if T sug- gest you've both got the wind-up for nothing!" The man at the round on his heel. “How d’you make that out?" Dawson met his gaze without flinching. “You're on the verge of tumbling into the neatest little trap cur worthy antagonist has ever planned. Be cause Chal-Hung has succeeded in communicating with the outer world, #t doesn’t imply that he had to find a flaw in the line to do so. You're in- crdinately proud of your jungle tele- graph. | The Yellow Seven probably employ a system that is equally effi- elent. A friend beyond the charmed cirgle is communicated with.

E——— e AN OLD RECIPE | T0 DARKEN HAIR i Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns (-‘ray.l‘ Faded Hair Dark and Glossy Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streak- ed or gray. Years ago the only way mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble- some. Nowadays we simply drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray | hair disappears, and after another ap- | pli your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and | you look years younger. | ask at any| soft 2tion or two, $ALESMAN $AM IN TH' NOTION 45 TH NUMBER OF ERM ARTICLE.

He raked out his tunic and mackintosh, felt to ‘| see that his automatic was there, and plunged for the open. The night was alive with shadowy, flitting forms ,with blazing torches, the incessant rattle of musketry. And still the deep-throated gong sent its warning message into the darkness. He splashed his way through the trees, 1it upon a bunch of bare-footed native ‘soldiers that appeared (o be taking no ‘useful part in the affray, and led them in breathless haste to- ward the spot from which the alarm seemed to originate. “Get down—all of you,” he shouted —and fell on his hands almost on top of Clay, whose long legs trailed from behind a rock and whose cheek was pressed against a rifle-stock. “That you, Dawson? Pennington's round on the far side at the only other possible point for them to break through.” Clay's rifle spoke. “That was'a. beauty, Dawson. We've been at it for about an hour. The enemy achieved a minor success at the outset. Caught our rear defenses nappin’ and a dozen or so, carryin’ something on a pole, managed to squirm their way through and join the main body. The Yellow Seven opened up to cover their approach—— and we decided to attack.”” He fired again. “We're advancin' gradually all along the line. T've promised to take the slope at the point of the bayonet before dawn.'"” He shouted to someone behind and a rifle was pushed against Dawson's elbow.. His eye fell ot the same mo- ment upon a pile of clips at Clay's side, ' He thrust one into the maga- zine, “Chai-Hung’s still up there, T sup- pose?” “As far as I'm aware, nobody's broken out. I can't for the life of me imagine what it was they smug- gled in. It was evidently something important, because they weren't in- clined to save rounds to secure its | safety.” He glanced behind him. “You fel- lers should be pretty fresh by now. T fancy I'll try a sortie with my own chaps—and you can follow with the second wave, mopping up everything we've left behind.” “I'll toss you for Duwsm* “Be hanged to you!"” laughed the other. “I'm in command here and I'm going to handie the first attack.” He blew a shrill blast on his whi and, before Dawson could real what was happening, Clay was gone with thirty odd shadows flitting after him. Dawson waited by his wrist watch, it,” suggested fully five then, crawling | back, mustered his men. “IMix bayonets, Not a sound until T tell you. Spread out in skirmish- ing order and don't lose your heads!" Really fat people are often capable of astonishing feats! Dawson scaled the slope with the agility of an ante- lope. Wild-eyed, keen with enthusi- asm to come up with Clay, he paused to round up those of the enemy that | had escaped the initial onslaught. (Continued in Our Next Issue) OUR 510K, START AND TAKE.

SLAYINGOF TWOIN - HOTEL IN DENVER Both Women Shot-Police Secldng -+ Italian Suspect Denver, Aug. 28.—Police combed the Itallan section of Denver early today in search of a man named "Joe" in the beliet that he could throw light on the slaying of Mrs. Roy Mc- Glone, 28, wife of a Denver athletic instructor, and Miss Emma Vascovie, 19, 'a hotel employe who were found shot to death—each with a bullet in hed right:temple—Ilast night in the bedroom of Mrs. McGlone's apart- ment, Efforts to find a motive for the double slaying were fruitless. McGlone husband of the elder victim, was speeding toward Denver from a vaca- tion camp near Bailey. A 32 caliber revolver lay between the bodies, leading police to believe it at first a case of murder and sui- cide. The later d\apovery of a penciled note on the dressing table in the bed- room caused police to discount the murder-suicide theory. It was written in a/masculine hand and was bloddy. It read: “I killed him because I thought he too much of him. I want him to going me where I go. Goodbye am happing now. ‘She not to. “L Mrs. Henry T. B. Burtscher, resid- ing in the apartment above that occu- pied by the McGlones, told police she heard what she believed to he three shots, about 2:30 p. m.. Frightened, she went to the apartment of Mrs.| Laura L. Jones, in the same building and told Mrs. Jones. They approached the MecGlone apartment shortly after six o’clock, they said, and found the door ajar. Inside, they told investigators they could see “the body of Mrs. Mc- Glone. Entering the apartment they saw the other body and notified the police. Both women had been shot through the head, the bullet in each case en- tering just in front of the right ear. F. C.
