"You'lf hays to tuck that sylph- like form of yours a deal closer into the undergrowth.” "Guaya's gone in," reported the D. O. of Bukit-Ihan, mopping his fore- head with a handkerchief. "Hot, isn't it?" said Pennington. cheerfully. A quarter of an, hour later Moor - house touched Pennington. with his foot and the roan with the Chinese eyes passed the warning on a trifle more heavily. The girl had emerged from the hut and, the bundle still under' one arta, was making otr in_an easterly direction, following closely upon the heels of an elderly Oriental in a suit of butcher's blue and an enormous mushroom r hat. Moorhouse glanced back. "Give 'em time," muttered Pen- nington between his teeth. "It may be a plant." To Dawson it seemed centuries be- fore the jungle expert rose to his feet and, selecting a patch of ground be- tween the trees where the giant ferns rose in rank profusion, steered a diagonal course toward the path their quarry had taken, It was fully an hour before they obtained a Blear view of the dancer and her guide, but Pennington—em- ploying some instinct he had acquired in his wanderings, seemed to have been aware of their proximity for some time. With startling sudden- ness Chinese Pennington .dropped in his tracks and, not a moment too soon, his companions followed suit. Leaning against a jack -fruit tree barely a dzen yards distant Moor- house saw an enormous Oriental, nude from the waist upward, a for- midable parang dangling at his side. Farther to his right, the D.O. noted a similar sentinel and, to the left again, still a third, motionless as a statue. As they lay there, a prey to vora- cious ants and swarms of flies, a piercing ,eeream came frons the direc- tion of the path, followed, by a wild, hysterical sobbing. Mqi rbog3g waa u?U1 o a jack-in- the-box, but Pennington's ngers, closing firmly over an ankle, pulled hint down again. He turned to ex- postulate, but a hand' choked his ut- terance. "Keep still, you priceless idiot!" the other whispered. in his ear. "You can't do any good. lie's waiting for us to come out and show ourselves." The D. 0. of Bukit-Iban, an 'un- pleasant taste in his mouth, glanced appealingly at Dawson; but Dawson was thoughtfully examining the safe- ty -catch of his automatic and did not look up. The screams came again and Moor - house jammed his fingers in his ears. He hardly remembered the details of that retreat. There was something about Pennington that made men fol- low him, or the magistrate would never have come at all. "Phew!" ejaculated Dawson as soon as they were back at the orig- inal track. "That was a trifle too near to be pleasant!" Be winked at Pen- nington. "Gentlemen, 'you may smoke!" He held his ease to Moorhouse who did not appear to notice it, and to Pennington, who shook his head. The stout man lit up cheerfully, "D retion," he observed senten- tiously, "is the better part of valor! With a bit of luck, Moorhouse, old son, we shall arrive at your palatial residence in time for a cheering cup of teal" The pent-up feelings of Denis Moorhouse at length found utterance. "They were murdering that .girl," he said. Chinese Pennington dropped a heavy hand n tite other's shoulder. "I should make yourself quite easy on that score. Chai-Hung dorisn't murder pretty women who are likely to be of service to hien. Whether Miss Guaya was aware of it or not, the ambush we were within an ace of walking into had been long and care- fully prepared." "That doesn't account for the screams." "Some people scream before they are hurt." "I don't quite follow you." "He means to say,' put in Dawson, inhaling tobacco smoke with the air of, a parched wanderer in the desert quenching his thirst, "that -the ban- dit merely threatened her. He can he a mighty unpleasant spectacle when he likes." "I hope to heaven you're right.". "The more I think of it," pursued Pennington, "the more feasible it seems. Guaya, you :must 'remember, is a consummate actress—and her ef- fertscertainly struck me as highly theatrical." "Where are we now?" demanded Moorhouse, gloomily. "A shade betteroff than- when we started. We know that the Yellow Seven are here in considerable force, and that the united efforts of three perfectly good white men armed with automatics would be about the for lornest grope' ever embarked upon." They passed through the screen of cocopalms and emerged on to the strip of grassland in which Moor - house's bungalow lay. * rt * - 0 HE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire lusurance Company • Head Office, Seaforth, Ont, DIRECTORY: esident, James Evans, Beechwood ce, lames Connolly, ..

Ten seconds later he ad woken to the realization that it, was the black chow and that the sound came from the verandah. "Slut up, Hitam! Lie down!"" And then—something black and shadowy slid noiselessly within the rectangle of light and out of it again. The D. 0., expericncrng that un onifortable 'sensation that is, Inver- ably associated with a surprise in the early hours, forced his muscles to. act, and groped under the pillow for Ms ' automatic. His fingers touched nothing but the crumpled edge of the: sheet. Always a restlesn sleeper, his pillw lay -a shapeless mass -to one side, and the; weapon had presumably dropped to the floor without waking him. Swearing softly to himself, he reached down, ; groping uncertainly n all directions. The flimsy curtains, blwing listlessly in a light breeze, touched his cheek atid, bringing his head suddenly upward, he saw—as if dangled fru the bedpost—a silver hand. The thing hovered there, glit- tering in the patch -of light, and for some moments he stared at it. He withdrew his gaze with an effrt, wild hope revolving in his brain, "Guava!" The words formed them- selves upon his lips. He hdd not seen her since that strategie getreat from the bandit's sentries. Perhaps she had sought him on the verandah and, failing to find him' there, had come to his room? He looked up again. The apparition was still -where he had first seen it. He pushed himself up- ward on his hams—then sank back mute with silent horror. The thing was a left hand—the gauntlet that Chai-Hung had stolen. ' He wriggled over onto his face and sent his trembling lingers over the rough floor. They knocked presently against something soft and. warm—a human„foot! He set his teeth grimly. He must somehow manage to slip out from the other side—between the bed h h c "6 Moorhouse, hardly awake, reached down automatically for the blanket at the bottom of the bed. Suddenly, A third form pushed between Chai- Hung and hie lieutenant. • MUFF HAS RETURNED It was a feature of a fashion parade at Mayfair. This striking coat frock has the newest cape. The Angler Bites "Sometimes it would seem - that anglers are greater fish than the trout. They will bite on anything." Such is the observation made from a fund of experience related by Na- tional Park Rangers in the recently published Stanford University Press Book, "Oh, Ranger!" "They will trudge miles upon miles, with nary a grumble, because some- body has told them of seeing whop- ping big trout in a certain remote lake. That recalls a fishin' story. One time when a newspaper writer was visiting Yellowstone he noticed a big club near the cabin occupied by a ranger stationed at Slough Creek. "'What's the club for?' asked the writer. "'Aw, that's my fishin' club,' ex- plained xplained the ranger. "'Pistil's' club?' "Yeah, fishin' club. I take it when I go fishin' down the stream. There's a big trout in there that's grabbed every fly I had but one and bit the leader in two. I take the fishin' club along to whang the big devil over the head and drive him away so I can catch some of the other fish.'" and the partition—and snatch up the water jug, anything with which to defend himself., The bed creaked as he moved and the curtains parted. A lean hal d fell upon either wrist and, from out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the silver hand had vanish ed. There hung in its place a knife with a long thin blade and a hilt that he knew was yellow. Hb aimed a kick at the arum which held it suspended, but it moved swift- ly upward and tfib force of his blow MIA spent upon empty air. He could catch its shadowy, outline as it hesi- tated before descending and then—the door of the romaswung open and the light of a hurricane -lamp illuminated the whole apartment. The grip on his wrists relaxed and tightened again before he could wrench himself free. The lamp stood unguarded on the threshold, as if it had come there of its o';vn accord, and Moorhouse recog- nized at one and the same time the man who held him and the creature with the knife: Nyi-Hau—sand the great Chai-Hung! He struggled 'with renewed vio- lence, tore one hand from the power- ful fingers that encircled it and hit out at Nyi-Hau with all the force he could put behind it. The man re- coiled and the magistrate, rolling to one side, avoided the fall of the knife by a hair's breadth. He caught the fierce breath of the bandit—and a third form, gliding stealthily from be- hind the rioor, pushed between Chai- Hung and his lieutenant. It was Guaya! Her garment was torn and travel -stained and her black hair fell. in waves over her dark shoulder's. Moorhouse did not understand the meaning of her disheveled tresses, until the' dagger with the jeweled hilt sped downward. She .hove it with triumphant force between Nyi-H•au's shoulders --and the creature pitched headlong across the D. 0. i"trugglin; to free 'himself of his nauseous burden, Moorhouse did not see how Guru died. He heard her little, panting cry and threw Nyi-Hau from him to discover Chai-Hung forc- ing his great bulk through the win- dow frame, leaving his knife behind. The automatic caught his eye. He vaulted to the floor and, snatching it .up, emptied the entire clip. into the tropic stillness. Presently he saw that the silver hand had escaped the fugi- tive and rolled to a corner. "Guayas he whispered softly, "I have brought you your hand." He fell on his knees beside her, thinking that she had 4ainted,but the shapely shoulders, that his,,; fingers touched were unresponsive. • (To be continued.)

Company From the ,City A Nation's Health is a Nation's Wealth Le Canada (Lib.): We Co not know enough about the rules of health, and should seek instruction in the matter, It is not that our population is without theopportuni- ty—on all sides 1t has at its disposal bureaus and dispensaries; lecturee are arranged, and concise, well-writ- ten pamphlets distributed. It is im- portant that we should not ignore all these movements- to teach us the meaning of health in the home and to Induce people to practice It with zeal.

We are planning to spend Thanksgiving Day with grandmother and grandfather, who, if all their child-" ren and grandchildren could come, would have thirty-six, but only about half that number can come. We will have for dinner, roast turkey with dressing and brown gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, baked squash, pickles, pumpkin pie, doughnuts, rolls, butter, cheese, sweet cider and tea, The children'u'lll be entertained with children's games, the older ones will spend the time visiting and helping grandma with the dinner, as grandma has no. maid.
