"I see," said Hewitt'. . "Might I
take the liberty of inquiring the na-
ture of the expedition you propose
making into my country—and why
this tremendous haste?"
The major 1tesitated and looked at
Monica, ,who had already risen from
her chair.
"Ph see if I can hurry that boy,"
she said.
Major Armitage produced a cigar
from an upper pocket of .his tunic, bit
off the end, and ignited it carefully.
Presently the preposterous circle of
glass fixed itself upon Hewitt.
"Mrs. Viney mentioned the name of
Pennington just now," he snapped. "I
suppose thisfellow's still on your
strength, wasting government money
and making an infernal hash of this
Yellow Seven business?"
The Commissioner flushed.
"I'm afraid I must disagree with
you," he' said. "Chinese Pennington
is one of the most efficient men it's
ever been my lick to meet."
Armitage had a knack of hearing
only those people who agreed with his
views. •
"I heard of this affair when I pass-
ed through Singapore. It didn't take
me five minutes to see that the thing
had been hopelessly bungled. The way
that man was making our status in
the Eastlook ridiculous simply ate
into my nerves. I could see for my-
self that it wanted a soldier at the
head of affairs. I offered my services
and the offer was accepted."
Captain John Hewitt gasped.
"They've sent you out here to rout
out Chai-Hung?"
"Those are my instructions."
The Commissioner's hand had slip-
ped suddenly across his mouth and his
shoulders heaved convulsively. .
"Sorry!" he apologized presently., easymatter to avoid Chai-Hung's band
"Bit of 'bucca went the wrong way." R
With an heroic effort he choked down
the mirth that consumed him. "So
you're setting Dui this afternoon with,
let's see; a week's rations, a platoon

Oh, I was forgetting the interpreter.
You'll scour the country, of course,
until you knock across the bandit

"That's extremely comforting! I.

from the foregoing that the pilots
must be men of particular attain-
ments, great skill, and knowing every
inch of their localities,the tidss and
the intricacies of our coasts.
Sometimes the pilot has to pick up
a ship in the Thames and take her all
the way through the English Channel,
leaving, her again •off some West -
country port, The Channel pilots are
a special section of the service and
are the highest paid of British pilots.
Their earnings go up to as high as
21,000 to £1,300 a year, but this is
exceptional: The highest paid pilots
in the world are those on the river
Hoogli, navigating ships up "to. Cal-
cutta. ,The Hoegli is a very danger-
ous river, full of shifting shoals, the
cliniate is bad, and the dangers from
fever great ' These meat earn up to
£2,000 a year.
The earnings, of the pilots of British
ports vary greatly. At Liverpool, the
second port of Great Britain and one
of the greatest shipping centres in the
world, there are 135 pilots and thirty-
five apprentices. ; The first class pil-
ots, who navigate the largest ships,
easn,'on an average, 2800 a year, the
second class 2600 a. year, and the third
class £550 a year. At Bristol the
thirty-one pilots average about £600
a year each; eighty-six pilots at Car-
diff about 2300. The Manchester pil-
ots, who take ships all the way up the
canal to Cottonopolis,, make about
2740 a year. In the Humber, where
navigation is particularly difficult,
the pilots only average about £3f0 a
year each

Budapest,=Hungary's entire civil-
ian population is to be provided with
gas masks. ' Former Premier Stephen
Friedrich, who addressed Parliament
on the dangers threatening Hungary)
as a inirching ground for foreign
armies, asked the war appropriations
committee` to set aside $1,000,000 in
the War Office estimates for the pur-
chase of theta defensive shields.
Stressing the decisive part which
gas and chemicals will play in future
wars, former Premier Friedrich, who
is now a member of Parliament, said:
"I believe in war, because mankind
has no law which can check it. For
hundreds of years Htingary has been
devastated by wars, and the country's
destiny places it among the warring
nations ,of Europe. Sooner or later
we shall be :bogged into a war, and
we mtiat not leave our people unpro-
tected."
