"Captain Hewitt, I must appeal to yeti. I've come e long distance to- night to inform you of the serious- ness of the position in our territory, not to answer absurd questions." "Sorry! I thought you two had possibly met before. Van Daulen, Itis is Pennington. He's responsible. for any action taken against Chai- Hung and consequently entitled to ask what questions he chooses. Have you fixed up a rooms anywhere?" • - "I expect there's room for me at t the ResHouse;. thanks." "Well; drop in any time after ten tomorrow and we'll talk things over. I'm sorry about poor Domberg. Good night." • • He was barely out of earshot when Hewitt swung round on. Pennington. "Rather a blow- to your theory; what?" "Not in the least!" "You'll never admit when you're wrong," persisted the Commissioner sadly. "And you'll never admit when. I'm right.. By the way, keep young Van Daulen in Jesselton ,as long as you can. I shall be running up to Kasih- ayer tomorrow." Hewitt drained his glass and made off down the passageway to his room. "I'll do my best," he shouted back over his shoulder, "but Van Daulen's inclined to be impetuous." "Peter," Monica demanded when they were alone, "why do you go out of your way'to quarrel?" "I don't." "But you do, dear. The' way you tackled that poor fellow, who'd ridden goodness knows how . many miles, made me feel positively uncomfort- able. He was dead beat, you know." 'I wonder who discovered the fine metal point in the : pen -holder -and decided ' it had been smeared with poison?" "You haven't been listening. I don't believe you heard a word I said." He drew her to him. "Dear little woman, I've been listen- ing inost patiently, but you see it's utterly impossible for you to under- stand my motives. I'm a queer, jumbled -up piece of machinery, some- times actuated by reason, sometimes by a Sort of sixth sense which Nature gave to me when she presented me with Chinese eyes. That's why I'm here now, it's exactly why your .bro- ther sent for me, and it's why I some- times talk as I do, I'm notlikethat with you." "I should hope not indeed!" "Nor with'Tack or Dawson -or ,ven that prince of scarecrows Rabat- Pslat. Do you remember what I was saying before Van Daulen came in? Somebody at Kasih-ayer's in league with Chili -Hung -and I've got to put my finger : on him and keep it there. It might, be Vance, Whittaker, their chief watchman, their Tamil apothe- cary; it might, on the other hand, be Van Daulen. I jumped on him right away when, as you say, he Was dead- beat. Why? .Because at such a time he was less likely to be on his guard." "You've no earthly reason to sus- pect him." "Except," said Pennington dream- ily, "that when he stooped to put that pot of yellow paint away a corner of his tunic; dipped into it!" Monica's brain reeled. "But _„ 'He came away without bothciiiing to change. Perhaps you didn't notice, but the bottom corners of his coat curled -and the bulk of the stain leas' on tti:e under side." "It's still purely conjecture. Ile might have gone right up to the sign to examine it -and brushed his jacket against it." "He might -if he'd troubled' to in- spect it with a ladder.: The Yellow Seven, if you remember, was painted on the side of Domberg's house -and Doinberg's bungalow is built on piles tenfeet or more above the ground." She caught both sides of his coat and forced him to Iook at her. "Do be careful, Peter, for my sake." He ran his fingers earessingly through her curls. "There's no need to be anxious,"•he said, "for I shan't want to be so very alone. Rabat-Pilai'will be hovering in the shadows. Say! have you the -remotest idea what the time is?" She shook her head and there was, a wistful look in her e;es. • "It passes so quickly ".'hen you are here -and so slowly when you're away on these, wretched expeditious. Come back soon,.
