Pennington reached out for the
tumbler. -"Hewitt,- old son, I've recon-
noitered the comllete coast-lihe. of
British North Borneo since I saw you
last. The Chai-Hung affair's nearing
its final stages: The bandit knows it

attempt to' quit the island altogether."
The Commissioner yawned. He. had
had' a heavy d'ay and it was ten min-
utes short of midnighs,
"He's been away before," he re
minded the younger man;' "but he's
rolled up again with unfailing regu-
larity."
Pennington's fingers'groled in a
pocket, searching for his pouch and
cigaret papers. "

set -backs. There's something exhilar-
ating in tackling a worthy enemy."
Hewitt smiled.
"I'm glad you think sol For my

low friend."
"Of course you are. You want to

solid days I've been acting as a sort of
railway porter' -slamming doors on
Mr. Chai-Hung. Every planter own-
ing an inch of coast is on the qui
vive—or says he is. After so many
assurances of loyalty and devotion to
duty, I had to sit down in a quiet
corner and consider who was the un-
clean hound that was letting us down.
Fortunately it` appears there's, only
one. His place is under observation.
It's sheer'assumption, of course, but
I'm prepared to swear I'm right"'
The Commissioner leant forward to
his' chair. _
"Who is it?" he demanded in a low
voice.
"Donibefg."
"The Dutch manager, at Kasih-
ayer?"
The other nodded.
"I arrived at my conclusion by a
process of elimination. My first scrut-
iny left me with three possible—all
situated wide apart. I spent the best
part of a fortnight in the immediate
vicinity of` each of 'em—and the
Kasih=ayer estate romped home, :.:s

"Domberg!" murn'.ured Hewitt—
shaking his head from side to side and
frowning deeply. ."I'd "never have

"I'm going to bed," returned Chi-

"Damn you!" retorted. Hewitt po-
litely.
"Thanks! How's Monica, . by the
bye?"
A voice fdom the other side of the
partition cut into the Commissioner's
reply, It was a feminine voice of an
exceedingly pleasing timbre. "I was
wondering when you were going to

The fairest widow etst'of Suez -as
Dawson had once termed her in an

verandah attired in a gorgeous kimono

Pennington screwed up bre peculiar
eyes.
"Brutally disillusioned. Of all the
women in the world I believed you
were the one who would."
"Who's Domberg, Jack. Isn't he
that nice'o:d Dutchman with the gray
hair we met once; in Sandakan?"
Hewitt' stretched his long legs.
"That's 'the.,fellow. I must confess.
I' liked Domberg. Still, if Peter

The Commissioner began counting
on his:fingers.
'Who's up there with him? Let's
see: Vance, Van Daulen "and Whit-
taker. Fairly decent crowd, taking
them all round.",
Hewitt rose slowly and began pac-
ing the verandah, his hands clasped
behind him.
There came a thundering of hooves
from the white road at the toot of the
slope and, before Monica copld reach
the rail, a man had negotiated the
path and clambered up the steps. He
halted on the threshold as if the light
dazzled him, then hurled.an accusing.
finger at Hewitt.
"Look here, Captain Hewitt, I'm in
no mood to pick my -words. I want to
know when you're going to put aR end
to this Yellow Seven business:"
The Commissioner poised himself
on the table.
"It would simplify matters a great
deal," he said, coolly, "if I lcnew who
you were." •
-
"I'm. Van Daulen—of Kasih-oyer.
I've ridden every inch of the way
from there to -night."
"Did Domberg tell you to comae?"
demanded Pennington.
The new.come. shot a glance at the
speaker. •
"I came here to see the Commis-
sioner," he returned pointedlp, "but
since you ask it, Domberg didn't tell
me anything; he couldn't—he's dead!"
For fully a minds silence reigned
on the broad verandah. •
Hewitt''was the firdt to speak.
"Hem did he die, Van Denten?"
The Dutchman cleared his throat.
"He was poisoned. Whittaker found
him in his office. t�. line metal point
had been placed in his penholder—just
where the forefinger pressed. We as-
sume he just picked the thing up—and
the poison that had been smeared on it
got into his blood."
"How do you know this was the
work of the Yellow Seven?" -
"There was a yellow patch,;painted
on the side of the/building, ornament-
ed with seven black smudges."
"A. iarge patch?" inquired the man
in the chair.
"About a yard long, I should say,
and roughly a foot.aerose.
"Nobody observed wandering about

brushes?"

Says Germany Has Averted
Western Spread of
Soviets
By. Professor. M. J. Bonn,
Expert on Economics,
Berlin—This is what has been
aehieved'in the ten years separating
us from the Armistice:
1 Germany hag prevented the
spreadof the Soviet- system over
Western Europe and given herself a
demoncratic constitution, strong en-
ough to withstand attacks from Bol-
shevism or Fascism.
2 After having passed through isr
financial crisis of unheard of severity,
Germany has succeeded in balancing
her budget, restoring her currency, re-
building her economic life. Though
greatly impoverished, She es paying
punctually the heavy burden put on
her under -the Dawes plan.
3 Germany has recovered )mer
place among the great powers of
Europe by taking her seat in the
Council of: the League of Nations. She
is the only great nation which Itas
been disarmed , and, as such, is in a
position' to claim the moral leader-
ship of the peaceful smaller peoples
of Europe.
4 She has to achieve two things:
The definite settlement of the alt-
eration question and the evacuation
of the Rhineland, When the latter
is accomplished -not by bribing the.
French with extra payments or new
controlsbut by the continuation: of

The Phoenician "Tarshish ships,"

craft. Their cargoes consisted of the
wares of Egypt, Babylonia and India.
The Arabian caravan trade passed
through the hand of Phoenician mid-
dlemen oh its way to Greece. Phoeni-
cian colonies were founded in Sicily,
Malta, Cyprus, on the Atlantic Coaet
in the vicinity of Gibraltar, and a
large part of Northwest Africa was
colonized from Phoenicia. At Tursh-

they established fisheries and worked
mines. They breasted the ocean and

THE GOLD OF' THE INCAS
An expedition of the Field Museum
of Natural History of Chicago in 1922
explored the gem -producing localities
of Brazil and the ancientgold-pro-
ducing districts of the region. Goll
was plentiful among the Incas of
Peru and the Aztecs of- Mexico. Am-
ong the natives' -of Panama, Coats
Rica and Ecuador there were beauti-
fully designed and cleverly executed
objects of gold. Many of these were
made by combined casting, and weld-
ing. Delicate filigree work end inter-
laced or inlaid combinations of gold
and silver objects were of native Work-
manship.
The object of the present Brazilian
expedition, which is attempting to find
Phoenician influence in the junglbs of
that country, is not lacking in scien-
