His gaze travelled to Jim's immaculate boots, “Or the daily cut- ting-off of minor limbs, such as the tees and fingers!” “An excellent punishment would be the removal of the eyelids,” suggest- ed one of the confederates, thought- fully. “I have seen it carried out with great success, The knife, how- ever, must be sharp”— “T'still possess the thumb the bootjack of my most honorable | ancestors,"\ said Chang Bing Ho, with dignity. ‘Ys, this young:fellow cer- tainly must’ pay the price.

Wouldn't you like to come away with me on a yachting honey- moon?. Or a motor trip up throug. the English lakes? This letter's awfully incoherent, Shirley, But when one is very much in love one can't think out the won- derful sort of phrases that one reads in books! I know you'll understand and remember always that I love you!—Jim.” Shirley re-read this letter many times. It was the first that she had ever had from Jim, except for last | night's note. It made her very happy hotel in time for lunch, “Shirley, you lazy girl, why didn’t you follow us?” cried Lucille rally- ingly. "Oh, but I did!” persisted Shirley. “1 walked for quite a mile along tc cliffs. But I got rather a fright, be- cause of a queer looking Chinaman who followed me. He came up and atked me about Jim, and wanted to know Jim's town address! Wasn't it queer: For a moment Burke's glance met Lucille’s. Shirley ran upstairs with her precious letter, and he drew Lu- cille aside. “I'm a little disquieted over Shir- ley's information,” he said anxiously [I'm afraid this is a case of mis- taken identity again! Jim Dalton has been taken for your late husband— didn’t your husband have some deal- ings with rather a low class of Chi- | nese?” Lucille looked worried. He got into trouble in a Chinese opium den, out Limehouse way. The {police raided the place and he at- jtacked a constable and almost killed him. I believe the man got better. My husband got away.” “But—do you think the Chinese themselves “had any __ particular grudge against your husband?" per- sisted Burke: Lucille drew tully together. “While he was ill in hospital he pave instructions to the sister and the murses that no Chinaman was to be aivwed to sea him. Sometimes I feared he'd done some foreigner an injury. He said that the sight of a yellow face made him feel sick—but |I thought there was something more in his antipathy than quite met the eye!" her brows thought- I'm afraid go,” commented Burke; “and don't forget that a Chinaman 1s the most dangerous enemy in the world!” And you think that poor young Daiton has been mistaken for my husband?” queried Lucille breath- lessly. “I should say it's more than likely.” “But isn't there anything that we can do?" asked Lucille rather wildly, “If anything happened to Jim Dalton it would kill the child run up to town and warn him?” “I could go along to his hotel and make inquiries. The porter would be able to tell me if a Chinaman had |called or not. Maybe he left word as |to his London movements, too”—— A taxi passed below the veranda, and he hailed it. “I ought to be back in about te lunch for me! | minutes—don't wait | He drove off. Lucille and Shirley partook of luneh together, Shirley seemed so cheerful that Lucille didn’t confide her fears to her, “T've got such a nice letter here from Jim,” said the young girl, smil- ing. “It arrived by the second post to-day." “When is he coming back?” ‘He says to-night—about 10 o'clock -he asks me to be out on the veran- da waiting for him!" ‘You must wrap up well, was Lucille's only comment disquieted in her mind. That her late husband's sins were many site well knew. That they should be vis- ited on this young girl's innocent flanee seemed more than probable and was a highly disturbing thought then She felt hotel this morning and was informed that young Dalton might posibly be located at the Belvedere Club up in London. The Chinaman set off im- mediately for the railway station, keen to follow up the clue “Evidently he means The anxiety deepened Lucille’s yas. She somehow felt personally responsible for this misapprehension. And if anything happened to Jim Dalton Of course, business in they both might be nis- taken! And, ahyhow, Miss Shirley nustn't be alarmed. nh they spent the afternoon in boat ing on the sea, after Burke had dis ched a lengthy telegram to Jim’ London club, giving him particulars of what had happened Jim received the telegram—but dim, alas! looked upon the com munication more in the light of a Joke than anything else, The long afternoon went by, It seemed unconscionably long to all of them, though Shirley didn’t share the anxiety of the other two.
