re AUCTIONEERS
We, SLUE OF THE
NEW PIN
By EDGAR WALLACE
(Continued from last week.) led from terrace to terrace, watching
the primitive system by which his en-
gineer
n
gineer was getting ready the casting
of the second'concrete pillar. About
the site were a number of bottomless
tubs, (hinged so that they opened like
leg -irons open to receive the ankle
of a prisoner. Stell brackets on �eeeh
enabled them to, be clamped together
to make 'a long tube, The first of
these was in its place, and sticking
up from -the centre was a rusty steel
bar that drooped.out•of the true -
the core of the pillar to be. High
above on a crazy scaffolding was a
huge wooden vat, connected with the
tub by a wooden shoot. Ail day long
an endless chain of buckets, respond-
ing to a hand -turned wheel, had been
rising to the top of the platform,
their contents being turned into the
vat.
"Primitive," murmured Yeh Ling;
but in a way he liked primitive things
and primitieve method's.
Down the shoot would run a stream
of semi-liquid cement and rubble, and
the two toiling labourers would pat
and shovel the concrete into place
until the tub was filled. Then to the
first would be fastened a second mould
-the process would be repeated, and
the pillar would rise. Then, on a day
when the cement had hardened, the
connecting wedges would be knocked
away, the hinged tubs pried loose,
the rough places of the Pillar of
Grateful Memories chiselled and pol-
ished smooth, and, crowned with a
companion lion, the obeelisk would
stand in harmony with its fellow.
Yeh Ling looked up at the frail
scaffolding that supported the vat'
and the- narrow platform, and won-
dered how many Western building
laws he was breaking. The second
tub was now brimming with the grey
concrete and a third and a fourth
were being fixed. All this Yeh Ling
saw from his place on the steps, a
cigar clenched between his small
teeth. He saw the workmen climb
down the ladders from the interior of
the new tubs, and he glanced' at the
sun and rose.
A blue -bloused Chinaman ludi-
crously handling a fan, came running
toward him.
"Yeh Ling, we must wait four days
for the water -stone to grow hard. To-
morrow I will strengthen the wall of
the terrace."
"You have done well,"" said Yeh
Ling.
"I thought you wrong," said the
builder, nodding; "it seemed so much
money to waste. He that is not of-
fended at being misunderstood is a
superior man."
"He that fears to correct a fault is
not a brave man," said Yeh Ling,
giving one saying of Confucius for
another.
The workmen lived on the spot ;
their fires were burning when he left
the ground. On the roadway was a
small black car, 'a noisy testimony to
the efficacy of mase production, and
into this he stepped,
He did not drive away for a long
time, but sat hunched up at the Wheel
his head sunk in thought.
Once he glanced at the pillar in
making; speculatively, as though his
meditations had to do with this. It
was growing dark when at last he
put his foot upon the starting plug
and rattled away into the gloom.
He left the car at the side -door of
the restaurant and passed' in.
"The lady is in No. 6," said his
personal servant; "she wishes to see
you."
There was no need for Yeh Ling
to ask which lady. Only one had the
right of entry to No. 6. He went
straight to her, dusty as he was, and
found Ursula Ardfern sitting before
an untouched, meal.
She was very pale and a shadow
lay beneath her grey eyes.
She looked up quickly as he came
in.
"`Yeh Ling, did you read all the
papers we found in the shouse?" she
asked.
"Some of them," he said cautious-
ly.
"The other night you said that you
had read them all," she said reproach-
fully, "and you were not speaking the
truth!"'
He agreed with a gesture.
"There are so many," he said, ex-
cusing himself, "and some are very
difficult. Lady, you do not realize
how many there were--"
"Was there anything about me?"
she asked.'
"There were references to you," he
said. "Muth of the writing was in
the nature of a diary . . . it is
hard to disentangle item from item."
She knew he was evading a direct
answer.
"Was there any mention of my
father or mother?" she +challenged
him directly.
"No," he said, and • her grey eyes
searched his face.
"You are not speaking the truth,
Yeh Ling," she said in a low voice.
"You think if you speak . . . if
you think I know, that I shall be
hurt. Isn't that true? And because
you. would not hurt'me, you are ly-

She turned quickly to another topic
with relief.
"I have had an offer to go back
to the stage but of course I am not
going," she said. "I wonder if you
N believe me when I tell you that

most unhappy memories for me."
Suddenly a thought struck Tab.
"I heard from Rex this morning,"
he s: id. "He is coming back again.
You haven't heard from him?"
She shook her head and her eyes
were grave.
"Not since he wrote me that let-
ter," she said. "I am dreadfully
sorry."
"'I shouldn't be," he smiled. "I
think Rex has made a very good re-
covery. Besides, it is the prerogative
of youth to fall in love with beautiful
E
"Spoken like a grey -beard," she
said, with laughter in her eyes. "You
are never so amusing as when you
are patriarchal, Mr.. Tab. Did you
esoape$ that heart -breaking experi-
ence?"
"Falling in love with actresses?"
said Tab. "Yes, up to a point."
"What was the point?" she asked.
"Well 'point' doesn't quite express
my meaning," said Tab carefully. "I
should have said up to a date."
Her eyes caught his and dropped.
"I don't think that I should make
E exceptions if I were you," she
said in a low 'voice. "Loving people
can be a great nuisance."
"You have found it so?" said Tab,
oily polite.
"I have found it so," she repeated,
and went on quickly: "What is Rex
going to do with life? He is very
wealthy. Curiously enough I never
dreamt that Mr.'Trasmere would
save him everything. He used to
grumble about Mr. Lander's laziness
to me, but I suppose he had not made
any preparation for his terribly sud-
len end, and Mr. Lander inherited by
right of relationship. He was Mr.
Trasmere's next-of-kin, was he not."
"I believe he was," said Tab; "but
the dear old man made'a will, writ-
ten in his own hand, leaving Rex
everything."
He heard a crash and stared sal -p-
ly at the cup that had fallen to the
floor and broken, and then looked up
n' amazement at Ursula. She was
standing stiffly erect, her face as
pale as death, staring at him,
"Say that again," she said'hollow-
y"What?" he asked puzzled. "About
Rex inheriting the property? You
knew that."
She stood with compressed lips and
then:
"O.h, my God;" she whispered.
'Oh, my God, how dreadful!"
In a second he was by her side, his
arm about her. "What is it, Ursula,"
he asked anxiously, "are you ill?"
She shook her head.
"No, I have had a shock. I have
just remembered something. Won't
you please forgive me?"
.She turned from him quickly and
ran out of the room, leaving Tab a
prey to various emotions. He waited
for fully a quarter of an hour before
she reappeared. She was still pale,
but she was calm, and her first
words were an apology.
"The truth is," she said with a
faint smile, "I am a nervous wreck."
"What was it I said that upset
you?"
"I don't know . . . your talked
about the will . . . and it brought
it all back," she said hurriedly.
"Ursula, you are not speaking the
truth. Accidentally I must have said
something that horrified you. What
was it?"
She shook her head.
"I am telling you the truth, Tab,"
she said, and in her distress' dropped
the prefix.
It was his flush that reminded her.
"I suppose) I ought not to call you
Tab," she said, a trifle incoherently.
"but we actresses are bold and braz-
en women. I thought with your vast
experience you would have known
that. Really, I should have begun
calling you Tab the first time 1 met
you. And now you want to go -
you are trying to tell me that you
don't want to go until I explain what
it was that distressed me, and you
are going to refuse all explanation
about my poor nerves, so I can see
we are likely to have an interminably
quarrelsome evening. Come and see
me to -morrow -Tab."
e He took her hand and kissed it,
and felt awkward' and artificial.

slid gently.
When Tab left her he was feeling
amazingly happy.

said soothing1 . 9'I know you are

She held out her hand, remember-

her own and shook it with a delighted
gurgle of laughter.
Yeh Ling smiled too, as he follow-

"Of course," she nodded. "And now

He was out of the room before her
request was completed.
It was like Yeh Ling that he did

out. She hoped he would, but Yeh

he was waiting outside, and when she
turned the corner he was very near to
her though she could not guess this.

Rex was home! His telegram,
handed in at the docks, preceded him
only by half an hour, and his thun-
derous knock at the door and his long
and continuous peal on the bell told
Tab the identity of the impatient cal-
ler, long before he had thrown open
the door and gripped the hand of the
returned traveller.

Her husband's death left her, very run
down in health, unable to eat or sleep
much. Now she is brighter in spirits and
eats and sleeps well. What caused the
difference? Let her answer in her own
words :-
" I think Kruschen Salts are splendid
tonic. After my husband's dearth in
December last I became very run down
in health.. Had terrible fits of depres-
sion and was unable to eat or sleep
much. I was also troubled with
rheumatism. I decided to take Krus-
chen Salts and have now taken the little
daily dose for nearly two .months,
during which time my health has
greatly improved. The rheumatism has
completely left me. I am much
brighter in spirits and both eat and
sleep well."
When life begins to " get you down,"
when you begin to feel the results of
modern artificial conditions -errors of
diet, worry, overwork, lack of exercise -
then you should turn to Kruschen Salta.
They possess a wonderful power of
giving new life and vitality to the
countless millions of cells of which the
human body is composed. The way to
keep smiling is to take Kruschen Salts
every morning -just a pinch in your
first morning cup of coffee or tea.

"My pillar of Grateful Memories
will have a greater significance than
all your steeples," he said, "than all
your stained-glass windows. It is to
me what your War Memorial Cross-
es are to you, a concrete symbol (lit-
erally concrete!) :of an intangible
sentiment."
"You are a Teoi'ste?" asked Tab,
interested.
Yeh Ling shrugged his shoulders.
"I am a believer in God," he said,
"in `x,' in something beyond defini-
tion. Churches and sects, religions
of all kinds are monopolies. God is
like the water that flaws down the
mountainside and fills the brooks and
the rivers. There come certain men
who bottle the waters, .some in ugly
bottles, some in beautiful bottles, and
these bottles they sell, saying that
`only this water will quench your
thirst.' That it does quench thirst
we will not deny, but the water is
often a little stale and flat and the
sparkle has gone out of it. You can
drink better from the hollow of your
hands kneeling by a brook. In China
we bottle it with, mystic writings
and flavor it with cinnamon and
spices. Here it is bottled without any
regard to the water, but with punctil-
ious care as to the shape of the bot-
tle! I go -always to the brook."
"You are a queer devil," said Tab,
surveying the other curiously.
Yeh Ling did not answer for a
while, and then he asked:
"Is there any news about the mur-
der of Brown?"

Tab hesitated here. He had prom-

of the new pin, but perhaps the re-

printed word.
"The only clues we have," he said,
as he sat down by her side under the
big maple "are two very bright and

She looked at him thoughtfully,
"Two pins?" she repeated slowly.'
"How strange! Have you any idea of
the use that was made of them?"
Tab had no idea, neither had Car-

Again the inscrutable gaze of Yeh

Long before he reached the house
he saw Ursula Ardfern. She was
standing in the middle of the road op-
posite her gate, waving her hand to
him, a dainty figure in grey, her flush-
ed face shaded by a large garden hat.
"I'm such an expert shot, now,"
she said gaily as he jumped off, "that
I thought of putting a few long-range
ones in your direction to see how you
looked when you were scared."
"I'm glad you didn't, if Yeh Ling's
uncomplimentary reference to your
shooting is justified," he said, as he
tucked her hand under his arm.
