“Please don’t move, Mrs. Viney. I cannot tell you how delighted I am to make your honored acquaintance. I understand you arrived in Borneo only a short time ago.” Monica flushed. “I came from Singapore three days ago—in the Jelandang,” she replied. "It was a wonderful trip. I was practically the only passenger in the firstclass saloon.” Chai-Hung lowered himself into a chair. “Practically?” he echoed. "Why, yes. There was only myself —and a Mr. Pennington.” Hewitt looked up sharply. “Os course you'll stop to tea, Mr. Chai-Hung?” V < The Chinaman shook his head slowly. "I never take tea, at least, not what you western people term tea. You’ll pardon me, I know, if I say that our national beverage suffered considerably when it came into your hands. You diluted it with milk—and spoiled it with sugar!” The commissioner crossed his legs and held his cigar-case toward his guest. Chai-Hung helped himself. Hewitt slapped each of his pockets in turn, accepted the Chinaman’s box of matches, lit Chai-Hung’s cigar, then turned his attention to his own. With blissful unconcern, he dropped the box into his tunic pocket. Monica, keenly observant, watched with amused interest the almost pathetic expression with which the Oriental followed the cool annexation of his property. A ripple of laughter escaped her lips. "Didn’t you know that?” she demanded. “I thought everybody did. [ don’t believe he’s ever bought matches in his life! Jack, give Mr. Chai-Hung his matches.” The commissioner started guiltily. "By Jove! I’m frightfully sorry. I hadn’t the least intention !” He nanded them back. The eyes of Chai-Hung positively twinkled. “I must remember that.” he said. ‘*l sent for you, Mr. Chai-Hung,” Hewitt began, “because I am seriously in need of help. Your amazing insight into affairs that concern your

CHAI-HUNG LEAPED TO HIS FEET. own people has been of great service to me in the past; I am hoping that it will serve to lift the veil from a mystery of which the non-solution may enforce my resignation of my position here.” “As bad as that?” The commissioner nodded. “Lord Stornaway and his wife dined here last night, and left this morning for Sandakan. “I wanted their visit to be devoid of unpleasantness. While we were at dinner, her ladyship remembered she had left an unusually valuable diamond pendant on her dressing table. I suggested that my sister should fetch It. She got there just in time to see Lady Stornaway’s diamonds disappearing through the open window.” He paused and glanced at his sister. She began speaking very quickly. “As I opened the door a current of air met me, sending something fluttering to the floor. I stooped to recover it and a sound from the window attracted my attention. It was open and, through the aperture, I saw a long, brown arm, its fingers passing rapidly along the wooden surface until they closed over the case that held the pendant. A second later and both arm and pendant had disappeared. I believe I screamed, for the next moment Jack and Lord Stornaway followed. I felt the room going round me. The next thing I remember is finding myself in this chair,

KEELER, AT 80, GOES TO WORK After fourteen years of enforced Idleness because of ill health, J. H. Keeler, widely known Maryland citizen, has gained forty pounds at the age of eighty years and gone back to work every day. Mr. Keeler, who resides at 3796 Thirty-Second St., Mt. Rainier, Md., gives entire credit for his extraordinary rehabilitation to Tanlac. “My stomach was in such terrible oocdltion I could hardly digest a thing,” says Mr. Keeler. "It would swell to nearly twice its normal size and I would have frightful- pains through my stomach and back. I felt so weak, dizzy and miserable work was out of the question. In fact, my friends gave me up on three or four different occasions. “Five months ago I began taking Tanlac and Improved from the very first bottle. I now eat anything on the table, have gained forty pounds, and am back at work every day. Actually, I feel like a boy again. It would be ungrateful of me not to praise Tanlac.” % Tanlac Is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute. Over 37 million bottles sold. Tanlac Vegetable Pills are Nature’s own remedy for constipation. For _

still holding the pieec of card that I had picked up before I saw the arm.’” She shuddered and Chai-Hung rose to his feet. f “A distinctly unpleasant experience,” he commented suavely. “And the piece of card —what was it like, Mrs. Viney?” “It was as long as my index finger,” broke in the commissioner, “with rounded corners. On one side it vras black, on the other yellow—with seven black dots, four of them above a faint dividing line that ran halfway—and three below.” Monica, leaning over the arm of her chair, wrinkled her forehead. She could have sworn that the habitually unruffled Chai-Hung had started violently. “An ordinary Chinese playingcard,” he suggested. The commissioner shook his head. “It was possibly intended to look like one, but the coloring was different. The background is, I believe, invariably white. This was yellow. I am inclined to attach a good deal of importance to this card, Mr. ChaiHung. I fancy this theft was no common theft, the perpetrator no ordinary thief.” Chai-Hung regarded his watch. ‘ What is your theory. Captain Hewitt, if I may ask?” “I believe that this affair is not wholly unconnected with the present wave of anti-British feeling that prevails everywhere. I look at it as a carefully calculated plan to cause considerable annoyance to a prominent Englishman; the work, in fact, of a secret society. Be that as it may,” he concluded abruptly, “I’m in about the biggest hole I’ve dropped into during the whole of my official career.” “Has it ever occurred to you.” asked the oriental blandly, “that a secret society in the east is very much the same as a trade union in the West?” "Then you don’t agree with me?” “Hardly.” “But.” cried Monica excitedly, “how do you acount for the yellow seven?” Chai-Hung leaped to his feet and stood glaring at her, his fists clenching and undeanching in his efforts to choke down the fury that consumed him. . “What do you know of Seven?” he demande dfiercely She regarded him in amazement. “Why,” she retorted innocently, “it was yellow—and there were seven dots.” “Os course. I was forgetting,” he admitted, half to himself. "I'll do everything possible. Captain Hewitt.” At the entrance he turned. “Good afternoon, Captain Hewitt. Good-day, Mrs. Viney.” He -was off at a rapid pace and the commissioner watched his red paper umbrella until It was out of sight. He turned to find Pennington at his elbow. "Good Lord, man! Howl did you get here?” The other grinned. The only thing that was remarkable about Peter Pennington was the angle at which his eyes were set on an otherwise youthful countenance. They ran obliquely and were as celestial in appearance as those of the great Chai-Hung. “Came as far as the sun-blinds,” Pennington explained. “Heard the sound of voices—and retreated to the kitchen entrance. Found your office a damn’ sight cooler than the outer atmosphere.” The commissioner survey him doubtfully. “You’ve been listening.” “I always listen,” admitted the newcomer unabashed. “It's my Job.” “I suppose you gathered that our oriental acquaintance is a washout as far as this affair is concerned,” said Hewitt gloomily. The younger man leant against the wall and began rolloing a cigaret. “Afternoon, Mrs. Viney! Hot, isn’t it?” "Frightfully. Mr. Pennington, you don't really think Mr. Chai-Hung ■will help Jack, do you? I think he’s a horrible man!” “Know anything about ChaiHung?” asked Pennington suddenly. Hewitt started. “He’s a prosperous Chinese merchant. He plants rubber as a sort of profitable hobby. Chal-Hung’s as white as they make ’em, for all his yello whide.” “And yet he refuses to help you?” “Not at all. He promised to do his best. I hardly expected him to send the damnefl pendant to me by this evening.” Pennington toumed and gazed thoughtfully toward a sea of infinite blue. “Thanks,” he murmured drily. “I take it then that you place absolute confidence in our friend?" “Certainly. I’ve no reason to do otherwise.” The younger man swung slowly round on his heel. He walked down toward the kitchen quarters, then came back and stood in front of the commissioner’s chair. “If Chai-Hung knows as much of the manners and customs of his people as you are inclined to imagine, he could have told you one thing at least—if he had chosen. He could have expalined to you that the recovery of the lost diamonds is every moment becoming more difficult—because it is changing hands with incredible rapidity.” (Continued in Our Next Issue.)
