Captain John Hewitt, Commission-
er of Police at Jessclton, British
North Borneo, asks help'rfrom Choi -
Hung, . influential Chinese, in the re-
covery of jewels stolen from Lady
Sternaway while she is a guest at the
commissioner's Moine: Peter Penning-
ton, known as "Chinese" Pennington,
because of his slant eyes, is hired by
the government to run to earth The
Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese ban-
dits. Monica Viney, beautiful widow;
is living with her brother, Captain
Hewitt.
NOW CTO ON WITH THE STORY
Monica gasped.
"The , well of Oriental cunning
Icnows no botteln,", continued Pen-
nh Ston, "and yet I flatter myself I've
learnt to probe into it deeply.
"I have been working quietly but
steadily on this rather un temil jewel
robbery.
"1 found no difficulty In. running
the original thief to earth. I was on
the point of closing with'hini when a
singular complieaition occurred: As I
lay on my 'tummy' in the undergrowth
he waskndfeil—completely and effec-
tively -.before my eyes!"
Hewitt bent -forward .suddenly.
•. "Good Lord!"
"I collared the assassin low and we
fought like wild cats. He had the
perength of.:a bison and, if he hadn't
left'• his knife In the back of his vic-
tim, I shouldn't be here now. Anyhow
he broke away and got clear, leaving
me with this." -
- He held the torn half of a yellow
strip of pasteboard before the com-
missioner's astonished eyes.
Per a second Hewitt seemed de-
prived of the power of speech, and it
was Monlea's voice that launched the
question. -
"Bute Mr. Pennington, if he was
a confederate -why did he kill his
friend?"
"Because," suggested her brother,
"once having got the pendant, he de-
cided to keep it."
"No," said Pennington with convic-
tion, "I fancy you're wrong there. The
assassin didn't trouble to search the
dead man, but I went over him thor-
oughly. The booty.dnad passed from,
his hands long before I overtook him•"
Monica drew in a deep breath.
"I stili 'don't see—"
"I believe our friend was guilty of
a serious -indiscretion in leaving be.:
hihd the token that had been entrust-
ed bo him -the yellow seven."
"I don't see that we're much for-
ra'der," declared Hewitt moodily.
"What do,you suggest doing?,'.
"Turning,in for a spell," said Pen-
nington. "In the meantime watch
every port, search everyone who tries
to embark—everyone, you understand.
Cheerio!" •
He made his way toward the back
of the house, leaving Monica bub-
bling over with curiosity.
Hewitt , anticipated the question
that was forming itself on her lips.
"That's about the most remarkable
feller in eastern waters," he told her.
"'Chinese Pennington' they call hini.
You saw his eyes? His . pedigree's
faultless, but . some extraordinary
freak of fortune—or birth, if you like,
decreed he should go through life --
looking like that. I fancy locality
has a big effect on appearance, Petn-
nington's people have been merchants
in Shanghai for generations. Anyhow,
there it is! To all intents and pur-
poses he's as white as you or me, but
there's no getting away from the fact
that he has the eyes of an Oriental
He knows Clfinese character inside
out- He can talk like them. He can
get himself up to look like 'eni. He
holds a sort of roving commission.
He's streets ahead of the ordinary na-
tive detective, The queer thing is
that the natives know of Pennington,
but they've never managed to nail
him, . They regard him as uometiting
almost superhuman. They etell him
'he who sets in the clack'." •
"How delightfully thrilling!" com-
mented Monica. "lie must be fright-
fully brave."
The commissioner smiled grittily.
"Pennuingtori'd tackle the devil in-
carnate."

The presence of a young, beautiful
and undeniably attractive widow is
bound to cause something• more than
a mild sensation in any quarter of the
globe where there happens to be a pre-
ponderance of unattached males. IL'
was perfectly natural, therefrore, that
Monica V'iney, at such times when her
brother was occupied with his affairs,
was rarely at a loss for a cavalier to
accompany her on her habitual ex-
cursions in search of knowledge, after
the sun was down. At these times,
however, Pennington was never avail-
able. He came and went and yet she
had never witnessed either his arrival
or'departure,
It was during one of those evening
walks that she persuaded Dawson --a
local district officer—to take her to
a gambling -den.
They had been strolling leisurely
through the native quarter, stopping
at innumerable stores and purchasing
an inoxdinato quantity of perfectly
useless articles.»r

the apparent zenith of his desire. His
elbow touched the sleeve of the man
who presided, but his eyes were star-
ing straight before him at an enor-
mous Chinaman who sat opposite;
both hands resting on the table, the
fingers slightly closed.
For some reason that she could not
quite define, a mental ,picture began
forming in her nand; a picture that
tho vividness of Pennington's descrip-
tion had impressed on her memory.
She saw a glade in the night -shrouded
jungle wastes, a huddled form with n
long knife protruding front between
hunched -up shoulder blades -and "he
who, sees in the dark" struggling for
dear life in the matted undergrowth.
Her vivid imagination had already
established the identity of the, man
-who now faced the hero of her ro-
mance. Behind her she heard Dawson
artike a .match and puff strenuously
at his pipe. And then, through the
nebulous smoke -haze, the ' three prin-
cipal figures at the top end of the
long table stood out in bold relief
from the surging background of neg-
ligible supers.
In a moment of time the thing hap -
paned. The man opposite Pennington
slid a yellow hand toward the China-
man in the horn spectacles, as If try-
ing to pass . him the something over
which the powerful. fingers .were
closed, Like a flash, Pennington's
arm shot out, sending coins clinking
to the dusty boards, scattering little
heaps of paper -money like autumn
leaves in a sudden gust. Swift as the
movement had been, the action of the
listless . Oriental who presided was
quicker, The mysterious package—'
wrapped in a broad green leaf secured
by strands of twisted bamboo—van-
ished into seine hidden pocket beneath
the wide -sleeved jacket: ' A score of
swarthy forms leaped to their feet-
and•Pennington was, lost to view in a
writhing, swaying circle above which
flashed a forest of naked blades.
"We'd better get out of this," said
Dawson at Monica's elbow. •
As his arm slipped through hers
she cast one lastglance into the seeth-
ing den. The circle dissolved into the
form: of an irregular. horseshoe. She
saw the central figure stagger back,
the horn spectacles slipping from his
face, saw the long arm of the power-

index -finger eloquent

nunciation that was loot in the tu-

Remnants of Animals and

Back by Smithsonian
Expedition
How eapidiy races of ,animals may
site out 18 illustrated by a large, collec-
tion: of extinct animal bones gathered'
in the limestone caves of Hayti and
brought back to this country by a
Smithsonian expedition under Arthur
7. Poole ot the -National Museum.
The'caves, which are near the west-
ern edge o.fthe great central plain of
Hayti, near San Michel, are infested
1»' bats. The Boors are six or seven...
feet deep In guano and refuse. Scat-
tered through this guano the Smith-
sonian expedition felted quantities of
animal and bird bones, many of them
representative - of species . which no
longerinhabit the island, though the
period of their deposit probably does
not extend back more. than 1,000
years and,; many bones are of recent
origin.
- Though the bones have not yet been
worked over, Mr. Poole bus been able
to identify the skull and skeleton of a
ground sloth, which Is believed to be
the most complete recorded from the
island, Several rodents resembling
in size the muskrat and beaver are re-
presented among, the berme, and there
le et least one Insectivore. -There are
a great number of bat skulls and Uz-
artt Jaws.
in some caves, the Smithsonian
scientist found skeletal remainsof
man, but whether- they belonged to
the present natives of the island or to
the bedlam aborigines who have been
extinct for a Long period, has not yet
been determined.. Incidentally, Mr.
Poole reports that the caves have
been used by superstitious natives as
places of worship. In some cases they
carved heads on the stalagmite and
etalacito pillars in the caves to repre-
sent saints or gods. Offerings of eggs,
fruit' and even coins were made to
these objects of worship.
How the bones got into the caves
is not clear in all cases. Most of the
smaller bird and mgmmah bones un-
doubtedly eepreeent, prey eaten by
owls. Bones, of tho larger creatures
Probably represent Individuals •who
entered these caverns by chance.
As Is well known, owls in feeding
swallow their prey of birds and mam-
mals entire or in large fragments.

How To Keep Fresh Fruit
The following good advice as to how
to keep fresh frult is given in the cur-
rent issue of "Successful Farming", a
highly practical 'farm monthly:—
is very common for farmer„ to
keep • their vegetables• in sand over
winter but few realize that fruits can
be kept for a long time and the same
way. Oranges, apples, lemons, and
sweet pbiatoes can be kept fresh for
rnotiLhe. The rinds ibeing porous, the
dry sand absorbs the liquid in the
fruit that would otherwise' cause de-
composition; The fruit must not be
wrapped in paper but lel: the bare rind
come in contact with the sand. I
have used sand fcr .plums, pears, ant
other smooth -skinned baits and found
them to keep. I put a layer of sand
about s•ix inches thick, tion the fruit,
and then sand oto cover them well, and
so on, and find it hauthy to have freelt
fruit on hand until late in the season,
When buying fruit for packing I'm
careful not to: gat any -overripe or
spoiled fruit." •
