The Barrier of Fre

By EDMUND SNELL
Illustrated by R. W. SATTERFiELD
BEGIN HERE TODAY
Enid Bromley, daughter of Chard
Bromley, is visiting at the home of
Capt, John HIey�--vitt, Commissioner of
Police at Jesselton, British North Bor-
neo. Bromley is new manager of the
Baniak-Baniak rubber estate. He is-
sues invitations to a house warming
when he opens his new- quarters. Peter
Pennington, in love with Hewitt's sis-
ter, Monica Viney, is detailed by tine
government to r..2prehend Chai Chai-
Hung,
haiHung, Chinese bandit. Jocelyn Gwynne
tells Pennington that Bromley has no
daughter.
NOW, GO ON 7IPH THE -STORY
Chard Bromley was in his element.
His tall figure moved everywhere. He
was undeniably handsome and the
dark hair going gray at the sides lent
an air of distinction. His ordinarily
pale cheeks were slightly flushed and,
as the meal wore on, his flood of con-
versation increased in volume until
every eye of the room was fixed upon
him. It seemed to Monica, who lost
nothing, that he had caught something
of the sparkle of the vintage he had
unearthed;. but his glass remained as
she had first seen it -and when he
joined in a toast his lips touched the
surface of the fluid and that was all.
It is possible that Mrs. Viney was
prejudiced. She had started with a
vaguely conceived dislike for Enid and
it was not altogether unnatural for
her to extend' this animosity toward
her father. But, quite apart from this,
there was something about 'Chard
Bromley that repelled her. He seemed
to be acting a part, to he assuming a
cultured accent rather than talking
naturally, and -eyeing him furtively
—she noticed that he glanced at fre-
quent intervals at his watch.

ingly turned out, greeted Hewitt with
affected warmth.
The meal was finished. During the
simultaneous pushing back of chairs
Monica found Dawson at her side.
"It's all wrong, Mrs. Viney," he was
saying: "He can't possibly expect us
to dance after this. Two-thirds of the
men are bottled already, or well on the
way toward it. The rest of 'em have
laid -such a solid foundation that they
won't care about indulging in serious
exercise. Hullo! Here's young Gwynne.
What an unholy hour to ro11 up!"
"He's brought a friend, too," added
Monica, turning slightly to scrutinize
a dripper Ivan in immaculate whites
who had not troubled to remove his
topee.
Suddenly a woman screamed. It
was at that moment Mrs. -Viney saw
that Gwynne held Chard Bromley cov-
ered with a businesslike looking auto-
uratic.
"Don't move, Mr, Soames!" he said
coldly. "Captain Hewitt, do you mind
seeing that Miss Mayne doesn't clear?"
The Commissioner started to his
feet, his forehead wrinkled.
"I mean the woman who,calls her-
self Enid Bromley. Soames, noW we're
all here, perhaps you'll be good enough
to tell us why Chai-Xiung paid your
passage to Borneol—why you kidnap-
ped the real. Chard Bromley and dump-
ed him in a cellar 'in the Chinese
quarter at Singapore) -and whatyou
and your confederate hope to gain by
all this!" Ile concluded with an elo-
quent sweep of his freehand,
Women looked from one to the other
with startled eyes, men sprang front
their seats. and groped for their hip -
pockets.
"What's all this mean, Gwynne?"
demanded Hewitt.
The younger ratan beckoned to itis •
men out at onde," he said, "and begin
clearing a line round the outer boun-
dary of the estate. As far as I've been
able to gather, the outer sections have
been more recently planted. There's
still a sporting chance if they all pull
together, of ;riving the bulk of the
rubber. Which is Mr. Richards?"
A man standing diose behind Hewitt
held up his aria.
"Is there a boat to get the ladies
away in?"
"There was a motor -boat, cit; but
I'm afraid this '-Soames fellow will
have taken it."
"Get down after him as quickly as
you can. Turn -out the coollies—yo x
others—and get busy." lie rapped out
the words like a man accustomed to
command.
"Dawson," said the Commissioner
hoarsely, "collect the ladies and get
them down to the shore. The rest of
us had better_:hurry -to the scene of
action right away."

Dawson, amiable, undisturbed, con-
ducted his ladies through the avenue

while with the volubility of a Cook's

and ran for all he was worth.

when he fired with deadly accuracy.

it; but' Chai-hung head—1 It would

"It's not Chaff -Hung, It's -1 Hewitt,

The Commissioner, a choking sensa-

had played his last part.

Ash at Sea Hints of New Sub-
marine Volcano, Prob-
ably Forming an -Is
as d: Near the Fijis
Apia, l ,eetern Sunoa.—Vast fields
of pumice and volcanic. ash, floatixlg on
the surface of the South Pacific Odean
between the Fiji. and Tonga groups of
islands, are the first indication of a
new submarine volcano. Perhaps it
may finally lead to the formation of 0
new island, for Falcon Island, 120'
miles to the south-east, appeared about
a year ago, formed from sviniilar vol-
canic material.
The announcement of the floating
pumice was made here by Or. Andrew
Thomson, Director of the Apia Observ-
atory, A British ship, H.M.S. Carisso,
was the first to report it. It was first
observed on the eveking of Oct. 3,
about 240`. miles east of Suva, Fiji.
That night patehes, each several miles
in extent, were 'passed, the last one
sighted about seventy miles southwest
of the first. On" Oct. '7 another ship,
H.M.S. Veronica, sighted some more
floating pumice abaut,thirty miles west
of this, about a mile in diameter. A
sounding was made, but with the line
let. out for 1,200 feet no'bottotn was
found. The next day, further east,
they encountered the largest field of
all, about a half mile broad, and ex-
tending for many miles in' a north and
south direction.
"The pesition'of the submarine vol
clip which has thrown out the im-
111a010 4uantity of material reported
cannot beJocated with the information
now available," said Dr. Thomson.
"The surface drift of the ocean in this
area is from the northeast and east,
so that the probability is the volcano
is eastward bunt not far from where
the pumice was first seen at 17 degrees
25 minutes south latitude 176 degrees
9 minutes west longitude.
"The ocean floor between the Tonga
nd Fiji Islands is fairly level to the
west of longitude 173 with an average
depth of 1,500 to 2,000 fathoms. It is
an area of great seismic activity,. for
no less than ten violent earthquakes
have occurred in seven and one-half
years (1913-1920) at two principal
centres.

"This is the real Chard Bromley." upon him,
"But-?" gasped Dawson. The sen-
tence was never concluded, for, with
surprising suddenness, every light
went out. At th. same time a distant,'
muffled explosion rent the outer air.
There followed a scene of indcscrib-
able confusion, of pandemonium above
which Gwynne's voice could be heard
shouting for somebody to stop Soames.
Hewitt gathered his scattered wits.
"Keep (mite' still, everybody," he
ordered. "Dawson,`firid that switch."
After an appreciable interval the
light came on, revealing a chaotic
mingling of overturned tables and
scattered or broken crockery. •.There
