Captain John Dewitt—Commission- here last night and left this. morning.
er. of Pollee at, Tesselton—sprang to
hie feet and extended a welcoming
hand to a stent, elderly Chinaman
.peutvitvg on the threshold.
Monica Viney, delighizfully at ease
fou a Cane chair, raised her 'eyes from
her book to observe the newoonier.
His attire seemed to"be a studied
Compromise between eastern and
western fashions, for he wore a whiebe
tunic, baggy tempers of blacksilk,
and black . boots with elastic Bides.
Across his chest stretched a gold
watch-ch+aera. the links of which were
peculiarly masaive, and the third fin-
ger of his left hand displayed a ring
set with a large green stone. '
"You sent for me," he announced
with a harsh intonation that, for some
reason, struck terror into her soul.
"That's right," agi`eed.the commis-
sioner cordially. "Come in and sit
down. Thos is my sister, Mrs. Vines.
Monica, I want to introduce you to
the wealthiest and most respected
Chineeie gentleman on the island—
Mr. Chad -Hung."
"How do you do " murmured Mon-
ica sweetly. She was about to rise
when a movement of, the 'Orientate
hand checked her,
"Please do not move, Miss Vines I
cannot tell you how delighted I am to
make your. honored acquaintance. I
understand you arrived in Borneo
only a snort time ago."
Monica flushed.
"I carte froth Singapore three days
Ago—in the Jelatndang," she replied.
It was a wonderful trip. I was Prac-
tically the only passenger in the first-
class saloon."
Chai-Hung lowered himself into a
chair.
"Practically " he echoed,
"Why yes, There was only myself
—and a Mr. Pennington,"
Hewitt looked up. sharply.
"Of course you'll stop to ten, Mr.
Ohai--Hung "
The Chinaman shook h•ia head
slowly
"I never take lea, at least, not what
you western people term tea. You'll
pardon me, I know, if I say that our
national beverage suffered consider-
ably when it canis into your hands.
You diluted it with milk—anti spoiled
it with sugars" •
The commissioner crossed his legs
and held his cigar -case toward his
guest.
Chili -Hung helped himself.
Hewitt slapped each of his pockets
in turn, accepted the Chinannan's box
of matches, lit Chai-Hung's cigar,
then turned his attention to his own.
With blissful unconcern, he dropped
the box into his tunic pocket.
Monica, keenly observant, watched
with amused interest the almost pa-
thetie expression with which the Ori-
ental followed the cool annexation of
his property. A ripple of laughter
escaped her lipe. '
"Didn't you know that?" elle de -
Mended. "I thought everybody did.
I don't believe he's ever bought
matches in his life! Tuck, give Mr.
Chai-clung his matches."
• The commissioner started guiltily.
"By. Jove! I'm :frightfully sorry, I
hadn't the least intention—l" Ile
handed them back.
The eyes of Chai•IIung positively
twinkled,
"I must remember that," he said.
"I sent for you, Mr. Chai-Ilttng,"
Hewitt began, "because I ant seriously
in need of help. Your trntazing insight
into affairs that concern your own
people has been of great •service to mo
in the past: I am hoping that it will
serve to lift the Veil from a mystery
of which the pion -solution may on-.

"As bail as that?"

"I, wanted their visit to bedevoid
of unpleasantness ' While,we were at
dinner, her ladyship 'remembered she

mond 'pendant on her dressing -table..
I suggested that my sister should
fetch it. She snot there jest in time
to see Lady. Stornaway's diamonds
disappearing through the open win-
dew."
He paused and glanced at his sister.
She began speaking very quickly:
"As I opened the door, a current of
air met nte, sending something flut-
tering to the door. I' stooped to re-
cover it and a sound from the win-
dow attracted my attention. It was
open and, through the aperture, I
SAW a long, brown arni, its fingers
passing rapidly along the wooden sur.
face until they closed over the case
that held the pendant. A second later
and both arm and pendant had disap-
peared. I believe I screamed, for the
next momen Tack and Lord Stern-
aaaay were both in the room. Lady
Stornaway followed. I felt the room
going round me. The next thing I
remember is finding myself in this
chair, eti:il holding the piece of pard
that I had picked up before I saw the
arni."
She shuddered and Chai-Hung rose
to his feet. •
"A distinctly unpleasant experi-
ence," 'he commented suavely, "And

"It was as long as my' index finger,"

'black dots, four of thein above a faint

Monica leaning over• the arni of her
chair, wrinkled hoe forehead. She
could have sworn that the habitually
unruffled Chai-Hung had started vio-
lently.
"Au ordinary Chinese playing -

The commissioner shoos: his head.
"It was passably intended to look
like one, but the Coloring was differ-
ent. The background is, I believe,
invariably white. This was yellow.
I ale inclined to attach a good deal
of importance to this card, Mr, ` Choi
-
Hung. I fancy this theft was no mon-
eran theft, the peepetvator no ordi-
nary tbeif.
Chai-Hung regarded his watch,
"What is your theory, Captain Hewitt,
if I may ask?"
"I believe. that this affair is not
wholly unconnected with the present
wave of anti-British feeling that pre-
vails everywhere, I look at is as a
carefully calculated plan to cause
cirnadderable annoyance to a promin-
ent Englishman; the work, in fact, of

lie concluded abruptly, "I'm in about
the biggest hole I've dropped into dup.
beg the whole of my official career."
"Has it ever occurred to you," ask-
ed the Oriental blandly, "hart a sec -
set society in the east is very much
the tame as a trade union in the
west?"
"Then yon clon't agree with me?"
"Hardly."
"But;' cried Monica excitedly, "how
do you account for the yellow seven?"
Mai -Bung leaped to his feet and
stood glaring at her, his fists clench-
ing and unclenching in his efoits to
choke down the fiery that consumed
him•
,`What do you know of the Yellow
Seven?" he amended fiorcely,-
She regatded'Itim in -amazement.
"Why," she retorted innocently, "it

The Oriental swaliceved semeting s
in his throat,
"Of course, I was forgetting," he
admitted, half to himself. "I'll do
everything possible, Captain Hewitt."
At the entrance he'bdrsled,

• "You've been listening."
"I always listen," admitted the
newcomer unabashed, "It's my job."
"I suppose you gathered that our

Hewitt gloomily.

very well, and. that as they looked
very hungry we ought to shoot a con -

This. seemed to us an excellent sug-

of the plain, not more, than 600 yards
from the lions, Tying the antelope to

got ready to take the picture- We had
not waited'for more than a minute be-
