"Look here, Van Daulen, you threw out a pretty broad hint last night con- cerning the supposed inactivity of the police. Within eighteen :hours, of hearing from you that Domberg was dead and the sign of the Yellow Seven plastered on his bungalow, I've found the implements that were employed to make that sign. The slackness was not on our side, but yours." The Dutchman left the rail and came a couple of paces nearer.

Hope we're both well enough to sit up and enjoy that cup of tea.. Rabat-Pilai was dusting, laborious- ly when Pennington in riding- breechee and slippers—emerged on to the verandah an easy first.

Whittaker and Vance share. a place between here and Domberg's. They've both got Chinese servants; if Chai- Hung wants free access to the coast, they're as much in his way as I am —and there's a particular fine oppor- tunity for killing two birds with one stone. If you vee in the bandit's shoes-isnt that the first thing that would occur to you?" "I think I shall stop here in any case:-" If ever I happen to be in need of somebody to teach me my business, I can't do better than to associate my- self with one who •can see things so well—from Chai-flung's point of view." The dark features of the Dutch- man man remained immobile, but Chinese Pennington saw enough to satisfy him that the shaft had gone home. "You've placed me in a dleuped awkward ' position," he complained presently. "Until I replace my late servant, I suppose I'm at liberty to fall back on yours?" "Rabat-Pilai is entirely et your service." The Dutchman picked up his rid- ing boots and moved off in search of his slippers. Pennington—onc more ale:te— enri:ed curiously at a huge moth that wheeled round the flame of the lanip. Between nine and ten Van Daulen went out, taking the F.:1h to the coolie lines. •floif an hour later llabat-Pilai crept on to the verandah and halted before Pennington's chair.

Rabat, if I'd trodden on that how long would I have been' in agony?" "Ten minutes, Tuan" "How did you know?" "I am my master's servant—and I see everything." All that was possible of the grin vanished as Van Daulen appeared at the head of the passage. "Morning, Pennington. Hope I haven't kept you waiting?" "Not in the least, old bird. I've always cherished a sort of hazy no- tion you planters were early folk! Those my boots, Rabat?" He pulled thein on, one after the other, fully aware all the while that the Dutchman's eyes were upon him. Suddenly he uttered a sharp excla stands alone: There was a hurricane "nation and sat back in the chair, his lamp hidden in the undergrowth. The lips parted, his breath coining and Tuan Van Daulen lit it and held it going in short gasps. "What's the matter, Pennington°" "Nothing. Rabat-Pilai, you idiot, why didn't you knock down this con- founded nail?" , He fell forward, burying his face in his hands, then lurched to the floor, where he lay, jerking spasmodically. The native.—comprehending nothing plucked a long knife from his belt. With a wild cry he sprang at the planter, who covered him with'. an automatic. "Stop where you are, Rabat-Pilai, I'll deal with you later. Pennington; can you hear me? In half an hour from now it won't matter very much whether your friend in Jesselton finds fifty finger -prints on those brushes. I've a launch in the bay and a tong- kong standing off ready to take oneto the Philippines. I killed Domberg.

Drop that knife, you black -skinned devil,and get over in the corner where I can see you." He reached down for his boots. He stamped his feet home—and the corners of Rabat -Pilaf's enormous mouth twitched. A bellow like that of an angry bull shook the rafters and the automatic slipped to the, floor. Pennington's fingers shot out and closed over the butt. "Doesn't it occur to you, Van Dau "Whittaker is our orderly officer this len, that I'ni taking a deuce of a long 'week.

"All right, -Rabat; you ;.can get to bed—unless Mr, Van Denten wants above his head. - A man stet's from the shadows and joined him." Pennington stared at the ceiling. "What sort of man?" "A Chinaman, Tuan. There was no word spoken between them. The stranger gave the Dutchman a little box—and. went away again." "One' of Chai-Hung's men?" "Yah, Tuan. Ha did not go. i'ar, because I had two of ours close at hand. They will keep him for you to': orrow." "Excellent. What happened to the Tuasi Van Daulen?"

The Famous Atlantic Liner to Make Her Pacific Debut 0132210-184.447. Iry Da -NAM WHO SER✓EDRCW EMP eSS OF: PRANCe" tm 4 liM 6550FFRANCG . fr In this modern age, speed -is of paramount importance, whether it be over land, on the sea, or in the air., Busy execu Ives and perishable com- modities must arrive at their destina- tions 1n as short a time as possible, andall modern science and human ingenuity have been devoted to this end. In this connection it is interest- ing to learn that the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Franco," the_faetest passenger vessel in regular service between Canada and Europe, has been transferred to the Pacific, where she will vie with the White Empresses for the speedrecord. between Vancouver and the Orient. During the World War the"Empress of France" was chosen because of her speed to be flagehip of the 10th Aux-. iliary Cruiser Squadron of the British Navy. Under the command of Ad. miral Sir, Dudley de Chair she inter- cepted nearly 10,00e vessels plying between Canada and Europe and fire - vented tons of contraband materials from. falling' into the hands of the enemy. Early this, year the "Ern - press" made a cruise from New York Pa South America and Africa, touching r, "L/rr ,s FA77157Ly MONG itONfr. - at the lonely isle of Tristan da Cunha en route, but another vessel of her fleet, the "Duchess of'Atholi," of 20,- 000 gross tons, will make 0118 "cruise of contrasts" in 1029. The "Empress of France" is of 18,350 gross registered tons and was twice chosen by the Prince of Wales to- carry him to Ce& Discovery returned with a mass of scientific information, yet the expe- dition must be called a failure from the British business point of view. Only two British companies are now operating in the Antarctic, as compared with thirteen energetic Norwegian companies there. More than 10,000 whales are killed each year and the value of whale oil pro- duced annually has risen to more than 330,000,000. The Norwegians, using floating whale -oil "factories" built In England, have pushed ahead until they have almost a monopoly of the Indus- try.. Still more discouraging to those watching the situation here is the gradual extermination of the great blue whale which American whalers once 'killed in small numbers but which the Norwegians are now kill- ing by thousands. Licenses for Whal- ing were once issued for small British stations on the shores of the Falkland Islands; but the Norwegians have made licenses unnecessary by their floating Whaling stations, which are utterly unregulated.- The great Ant- arctic blue whale, wvhich grows to, 100 feet in length, multiplies slowly, and thus there is grave danger that the species will some day become extinct. If the British oil interest had their way they would acquire the Norwo• gian whaling stations with encouage- meut from the Colonial Office here, and would then press for international regulations to govern the whaling trade. Only in this way, it is argued here, will it be possible for British 'interests to reap the benefits of ex- peditibne, 'like the Discovery's and make.
