®fiE PASSING
OF ZARkKHAN
BEGIN HERE TODAY
Captain John Hewitt is Conmils-
stoner of Police at'Jesselton, British
North Borneo. His beautiful sister,
I('orica Viney, is engaged to marry
Peter Pennington, detective. Penning-
ton ie, detailed by the goverthntent' to
apprehend Chaff -Hung, leader of the
Yellow Seven, a gang, of Chieeoe orae
di,;, Pennington goes to visit Jaynes
arncy in his bungalow at the'head
of the Tetabakut River, Va eicy re-
ceives a threatening message from
The Iellcw Seven. Pennington .,z:tns
ey to be careful.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Pennington produced is rubber
pouch and began rolling a oigaret.
`I don't know what to think. All I
can say is, that by every rule of the
game, . the arch -bandit aught to be
dead."
"I rather' gather," said Varney
slowly,.%"that Chai-Hung is a little
out of the ordinary."
Pennington clasped both band's
over his knee and .looked hard at the
wall.
"He i's," he admitted. "There's
eomeblu ng'Enrtbly uncanny about the
merchant, and I only hope the Com-
mias'io'ner realizes it as much as I
do" -
"How long a time would ,you con -
skier sufficient to presume him dead?"
Pennington grinned..
"Not long," he announced more
cheerfully. "You see, Chai-Hung to
give the devil his due -has a decided
sense of humor; not the refined, harm-
less article that you or I lay claim
to, I admit, but still a sense of humor!
I flatter myself that I know enough of.
the gentleman to be certain that he
won't be able' to resist for long the
desire to let me know that he's eluded
me,"
Varney lifted the siphon from the
table aced thoughtfully sprayed a large
spider that was in the act of crossing
the floor.
"By the bye," he said, "you didn't
by any chance tell anybody you were
coming Fere?"
"Good heavens, yes! I told Monica
and the others my probable plans, for
one thing; and, for another, I in-
etrueted. my mem to follow the on
here if they wanted anything or.glean-
ed anything of importance they
thought I ought to know."
"That accounts for it!"
"Accounts for what?" ,
7 he trader dived a hand into his
tunic and produced Hewitt's letter
folded round the piece of card. -
"IIere's your evidence right
enough," he told trim. "It floated in
from the darkness barely half -an -hour
ago."
Chinese Pennington spread the
document out on the tale and sur-
veyed the Yellow Seven as a man
might survey a long lost brother.
"Great snakes!" he murmured pres-
ently, looking up into the other's eyes.
"I fancy it was meant for me, all
right!"
Varney appeared relieved.
"There happened to be a message
with that bit of cardboard. It was
given to my servant, verbally, to the
effect that if I admitted you or helped
you in any way—my number was up!"
Pennington's jaw dropped.
"Have you any idea where your boy
put my things?"'
Varney took his guest by both
shoulders and forced him back into
the chair.
"Whatever damage there's likely to
be is done already, and if you fancy
I'm going to allow a pack of dirty
thieves to dictate to me what guests
I entertain—you're very much mis-
taken. I merely told you as a matter
of interest. Chat -Hung, it appears,
is at large."
"Verymuch so! My dear old Var-
ney, what an unholy mess-up! De you,
realize that every blessed Chinaman
en the island belongs that that `gang
of cut-throats?"
"Actively?"
"Either that or passively. That's
exactly where Chai-Hung's strength
lies. However leyal an Oriental may
be to his white master he daren't re -
hese to comply with any request the
bandit may make. He wouldn't live
a week if he did."
As the trader reached over to take
his glass, Penningtou caught sight of
the tattooed tiger.
"I know one man, at least, who'd
mourn your loss if Thai -Bung carried
out his threat," lie said quietly.
"And 'that is—?"
"Zara -Khan. He'd lament the loss
of both a generous client and a walk-
ing -picture-gallery of his art!"
At that moment Chong -Hee appear-
ed at the doorway to announcethat
the baths were ready.

The rusted hands of the verandah
clock pointed • to a < little after ono
when Varney stretched his tatoeed
arms and yawned:
"Trine for bed, old son."
Pennington, who was leaning on
the rail, glaneed back over his shoul-
der.
"Tired?"
The other paddled.
"Taken all round, it's been a rather
trying day. You won't be in too much
of a hurry to get away in the morn-
ing?"
"Can't say. It depends on circum-
stancer-and 'A'Ir. Chai-Hung, You

Varney smiled.
"Do just as you like, of oouree. I'm

ing uneasy about recent events; but,
in any case, Chang would raise Cain
long before any outsider could reach

Varney's spare room contained no

He had been in that position for

Bishop of Exeter ordered the vergers
of the, cathedral' to make sure that .all
women who came to worship had their

Then the .League 'of Nations took a
hand. It lssued a formal circular from
its Geneva• headqparters forbidding
bare legs to women frequenting the
administration buildings. Also, lawn
tennis in bathing costumes was pro-
hibited upon the territory of the
League.
Too Hot for Many Clothes
This season's tourists in Europe,
from 'whatever country they bailed,
were all remarkable for the few
clothes they wore. Fashion in gen-�
eral fostered it; the unprecedented
heat justified it, Emergency hospitals
and nursing homes would have had
much more to do had not char-ablanc
patrons gone fn for undress.
But the question is, "Will the inter-
ference of Church and State succeed?'
Many precedents seem to prove that
it will not.
Take General Pangalos. Tiring.:

Greece when he took it into his head
to interfere with women's skirts.
Short skirts must go, said he; but 1t
was the General who went. Women

Aspasia and Phryne they. have been
famous for indirect influence.
How different the experience of
Kemal Pasha! Just. fifteen years ego
the women of Turlcey'began their agi-
tation against the veil.Lifting the
veil was then a penal offense. Slowly
but surely the reform made then* felt
until now Kemal Pasha has practi-t
catty abolished the veil, In some cities

In Constantinople and Angora women

York, London and Paris. A little
more darkening around the eyes, per-
haps, and with a thin scarf wound
judfciously about their heads, some-
times with n hat, sometimes 'without,
but altogether in the European way.,
Kemal Pasha might not have been so
successful in other things had he not
advocated emancipation from the veil
Queen $ouryia of Afghanistant has
done much toward the• wlthdrawnl of
the veil. Icer triumphal tour in Occi-
dental dress throughout Europe was a
practical object -lesson.
The reactionary measures against
dress in :Italy, Brittany, Exeter,
Greece, Deauville, Geneva and else-
where are contemporaneous with the
contrary movment in -the East. There
the effort is all the other way.

In the Moslem religion, the custom

which are to be covered according to
Moslem law: In this, the 'young Turk

is what is known as a Revivalist in re-
ligion and he says that the face is not
included in suttar. Ile even goes so
far as to say that in early Islamic his -
'tory women were unveiled.
Most Moslem clergy argue that the
present state of education throughout
Islam does not guarantee sufficient re-
spect for women with the face uncov-

question successfully by giving his

Park Bird House and No

house at Central Park menagerie has
become a volunteer in the service of
the park department.
The keeper in the bird -house gives'
orders to the visiting public just once
a day, at closing time, when he calls:.
"AIt out, all out,"
Such conservatism on the part of
tIte keeper was unappreciated by one
of the parrots of the menagerie. Once
a day seemed entirely too seldom to
issue the order, the utterance of
which brought such prompt and satis-
factory results, So one day recently
he took it upon himself to act as
Spokesman in the absence of the
keeper. 1u a peremptory voice ho
shouted:
"AII out, all out. • Hurry up, all
ant!"•
The result was a disconcerted pub-
lic. It was not closing time, yet a
mysterious voice was ordering them
out, Surely this wag not in keeping
with the regulations. However, when
the orders came the visitors left and
not even James Coyle, head keeper at
which of the solemn -looking green
birds was the guilty one.
Mr. Coyle even changed his clothes
to disguise his identity, but the parrot
is either a modest fellow or a very
wise old bird, for he says not a word
in the presence of his superiors. But
once Mr. Coyle has retired -to his
offices comes the order:
"All out, all out. Hurry up, all
out!"
