The ambassador declared Brit-[ ain refused to admit that Japan ’ has the right to take a one-sided decision on whether technical or financial assistance to China created a danger to the integrity and peace of China. Simon revealed that in reply. Hirpta said Japan had observed I her obligations under the nine I power treaty and would continue to do so, and also that the policy of the Japanese government toward the treaty coincides with Britain's. In conclusion, Hirota promised to maintain the open door, giving all nations equal opportunity to enjoy trade and other benefits in

China. Sir John said: "The communication of his majesty's ambassador at Toyio to the Japanese foreign minister on April 25 —which, as I informed the house the other day was a friendly inquiry—was to the effect that the principle of equal rights in I China was guaranteed very explicitly by the nine power treaty of 1822, to which Japan was a party, and that the government must of course continue to enjoy all rights in China which are common to all signatories or which are otherwise proper, except insofar as rights are restricted by agreements such as a consortium. or insofar as Japan had special rights recognized by other powers and not shared by them."

When that time conies, one is said to hatch, and the other to germinate, which in either case means that they start to live and grow. In the case of the seed, there are

CHAPTER XXXV With the nose of his own gun diggi' g 'nto his back the gunman >od cowed and speechless, while Maurice with his fiee hand skillfully went through his pockets. He found but one other weapon, aside from an ' ordinary pen-knife—a snub-nosed automatic, small enough to cuddle in the palm of one’s hand, although scarcely less deadly than its fellow of the holster. “Now you can turn back and wipe your face, if you like. But watch yourself—don’t make me nervous.” “Oh, yeah?” This was a muted snarl: the gunman, while profiting by permission to mop the spilled whisky from his features, was seeking, if a thought too obviously, to reassert something of his forfeit ascendancy. “Hell, nothin’ I could think of would make you any more nervous than you ought to be. Say, who do you think you are—and where? Where do you think you’re goin’ to get off, after this, in a hotel owned and manned and run by mobsmen? This aint Paris, fella, where you’ve got only frog cops to look out for, and a smart punk like you can get away with murder." "No? Yet murder,” Maurice in his most silken manner pointed out, “murder in the full sense of the word is precisely what I shall get sway with, my friend, if you put me to it. If you imagiire I do not know I have taken my life in my hands, or flatter yourself that I haven’t taken yours into them as well, you are the victim of a suicidal delusion. What do you think —that I fought my way to the top of the heap across the water to be browbeaten and bullyragged by caitai&e like yourself of this shoddy American underworld? It is possible that, as you hint and hope, I shall not leave this place alive, but if I do not, it won’t be for want of your best eff ‘rts to get me out unscratched. For where I go, you go too—bear that in mind; and everywhere you go before me, and I come after with my finger on the trigger. And now that we quite understand each other—you do understand me now, don’t you, monsieur?” The gunman, sullenly eying the pistol, gave a sullen nod. “Let us get on, then. But remember that your life hangs on your giving me straight answers. Where is Miss Crozier?” A jerk of the head indicated the vacant bedchamber. “In the room < beyond that one.” "A prisoner? That is to say, locked up—l mean, is she alone?” i “Ought to be by now. The only < idea was to keep her folks’ hands < tied till this job was all wrapped up ’ and delivered.” < “And how guarded?” i “Just locked in—and the room- I telephone dead.” i “There is no guard set?” “Ah, the floor clerk’s a wise moll I put there on purpose to keep her i eye on the door and let nobody pass i in or out without she’s been told to.” I “But there is a communicating I door from that bedchamber—l re- i member seeing it.” : “Yeah—that’s how they took her 1 through.” < "But you have a pass-key?” The gunman with a curt laugh, j shook his head. “Not any, fella, j You’re all wet this time, and don’t . let nobody tell you dif’runt.” “Think again.” . “Ah-h! They aint a chanc’t on , earth of your bulgin’ in on that j dame without the whole house . knowin’ it.” “Think again, I tell you. I shall j be with Miss Crozier within five ( minutes if I have to break the door . down.” “Yeah? And what will I be • doin’?” “You will be a pathetic spectacle, I monsieur, if an unsightly one—a mere heap on the floor, and taking ! no interest whatever in the proceed- ' ings. Make no mistake,” Maurice 1 snapped. “I will not be hindered. ' Think of a way—think quickly.” ! The lowering stare bent on Maurice must have persuaded the gun- ! man that he would not wisely risk the issue. The punk was not mere- < ly set to have his way, not merely

fighting mad; he was unmistakably i just damned young fool enough to , make his threat good if sufficiently . provoked. “Maybe I got a key,” he volun- 1 , teered. “I don’t know as it’ll turn ; . the trick—it’s my own room key, , but most of the locks in this dump i are interchangeable.” “Permit me to felicitate you on I your second thought. And be good l enough to precede me through the 1 next room to the communicating door and—try your luck with that 1 key. I hope very truly, monsieur, I for your sake, it will fit.” I The grating of the loek behind < her, the rattle of the knob, swung ’

wif 1 Ji “Mademoiselle must forgive this intrusion without knocking. It isn’t a time to stand on formalities.”

Fenno in a start from the open window, whose sill, she had just discovered, in her frarwc search for a way of escape, commanded a sheer drop of seven stories. And clutching at her fortitude, she stood, all taut with denial of the despair that ate at her heart, watchful but silent, while the guard of the Gotham Safe Deposit Company slouched in, minus his arms and peaked cap now, but wearing an air of hangdog bravado, with Maurice stepping alertly at his heels, covering the man with his own pistol and presenting for Fenno’s inspection a face pale and drawn and set with eyes like black opals. “Mademoiselle must forgive this intrusion without knocking. It isn’t a time to stand on formalities —I am sure you know.” She gave a half-nod but said nothing. The boy’s voice was so strained that she would hardly have known it; but that in which he pursued, addressing the gunman, was unlike any she could have imagined might issue from his lips—each word that left them had the crack of a whiplash. “So far. good. Give me that key.” Maurice deftly nipped it from the gunman's fingers, and dropping back without turning from him, shut the door, locked it. and made it doubly fast by shooting its supplementary boit. “Now over to that corner.” The pistol, prodding the small of the back, steered the fellow to the corner farthest from the doors. “Take that chair, sit down, keep your face to the wall, and don’t move unless I give you leave.” "What's the idea?” The gunman

When, the cotyledons open they reveal the embryo with Its tiny bud with, leaves ready to unfold, and the start I of the root which is oftentimes' merely a point The ibud is called plumule and the root, hypocotyl.

tried a new tack. emboldened by# e addition of a witness to their number. “Tryin’ to make a person believe,” he sneered, “you'd shoot them down like a dog with a lady present?” “Believe what you like,” Maurice dourly retorted. “But de as I tell you, or the least you may expect is that I will—in your American phrase—bend this gun over your head.” He smiled reassuringly at Fenno, but the smile was fleeting; he had time to pay her no more attention till he had seen Isham seated as he directed. And even then his eyes were seldom all for her, but most

of the time constant to his prisoner, “You’re all right, Fenno? They ’ didn’t—they weren't brutal with 5 you?” “Brutal? But they did nothing. ’ really, except tell me I’d find Father I in here, and as soon as the door was open, push me through and lock me in! I’ve been half beside myself, | of course. What does it mean? What about Father?” “I fancy this animal can tell us. i What of Mr. Crozier, my friend? | He was not, of course, involved in : any motor accident?” “G’wan,” the gunman growled, i “As if you didn’t know that was a stall!” “You can’t tell me where he is, I then?” “How do I know? Fowler was , sayin’ something about your old man bein’ out of town and not expected back before tomorrow night, but I wouldn’t want to swear to it.” “And he has not been hurt in any way?” the bewildered girl persisted. “Nah, nah! That was all a stall, like I’m tellin’ you.” * “To lure you here, Fenno, the better to rob you of the emeralds.” “Instead of leavin’ them-for your boy friend to take. lady, some time when he found time and felt good and like it—inside a week was what he promised Tess Boyee last night on the steamer.” Fenno, who in her agitation had, in an unconscious gesture of confidence, let a hand come to rest on Maurice's sleeve, now withdrew it and fell back with questioning eyes that all at once seemed abnormally large and dark.
