Peter Perinington, detective, is de- tailed by the government .to ;run to earth The Yellow Seven, a'.gangg of Chinese bandits. He suspects Chai- Hung, ''influential Chinese, of being their leader. Monica Viney is the sister of Captain John Hewitt, Coui mission, of Police at Jesselton, Brit- ish North Borneo. Pennington goes to. Ketatan after receiving a letter from a rubber planter named Brabazon. The daughter of Chai-Hung lures Braba- zon into the garden of her father's home in Ketatan. NOW GO ON WITH'THE STORY A girl came suddenly down the path —a slim; youthful figure i.ilight blue, bordered with bands of black, and, entering the' shrine, fell prostrate be- fore the altar. The man who had scaled the wall extinguished his eigaret and crept into a clump of bushes where he lay prone. For a space.of many minutes Suey- Koo—the daughter of -Chai-Hung— bowed her head' before the bronze vases. Presently she came slowly to her feet, at the same time drawing, a narrow, black cylinder from a volum- inous sleeve. The head of the watcher in the bushes jerked upward and the Chinaman's eye fell upon a naked blade, flashing even in the diffused light of the little joss -house, a knife that the harmless-looldng cylinder had concealed. A whistle came from the darkness beyond the pallisade, and Suey ICoo slipped' the dagger out of sight. She. passed the bush so closely that a faint whiff of alluring perfume wafted to the nostrilsof the intruder. One of the smaller gates swung open and an Englishman with a broad, handsome face stepped through. He took the tiny hands of the Chinese girl and bent over them, then saluted her—in the manner, of the. Westerners—full on the lips.'I! From his hiding -place, the man in greasy black heard the soft, cooing laughter of the girl, the deep, easy tones of the Englishman as he spoke to her. The moon stole between the palm -trees, as they walked together. toward the screen of oiled paper and. woven cane that served to keep the evil spirits from the house of Chat- Hung, and then,;as they paused in the centre of the flower -bordered path, a thing happened that perplexed the unseen- onlooker strangely. The man in white duck slipped both arms round the girl, drawing her' to him. A trn- ant ray of silver light fell across her flushed cheeks as through lids half- closed she looked up into 'her lover's facer Suddenly she pushed 'him vio- lently from her, her slim right hand groping in the depths -of her sleeve. With a queer half -cry, half -sob, she. disengaged the knife that nestled in its glossy sheath—and threw it with all the strength she could conunand into the tmdvgrowth. A moment later she lay weeping in the Englishman's arms, By a strange freak of chance, the weapon struck a brands and drop- ped within a couple of yards from where the Chinaman lay. With atdeird, twisted smile, the man stretched out a long, Iean arm and secured it. He looped up to see that a hidden panel in the screen had been drawn aside, revealing the face of Chai-Hung, hideously distorted until it resembled that of a ghastly idol. The panel closed, the lovers moved on toward the building, and the myster- ious interloper rose noiselessly and crept. after them. The Englishman anisthe girl dis- appeared beyond the screen and, as if at a given signal, the deep tones of a native gong rang out suddenly in the blackness. The Chinaman dropped 'in- stinctively, flattening out until no- thing was'. to be seen above the Mink grass into ,which he had fallen, and the whole enclosure within the pall:- sade burst:seddetily into life, patter- • Disse f• Outdoors or indoors— whatever ndoors—whatever your task.

The Yellow Seven had called—and the legions o4 the great Chai-Hung converged on the trawinto which the white roan had fallen, eager for the esuerifieel•,Shadowy forms .swept on to the path and vanished beyond 'the building,'' and presently a piercing scream broke upon the night. The Chinaman sprang erect and dived behind the screen. In his left hand he held an automatic pistol, but the weapon with which he silenced the sentry at the door was the knife in the glossy black, sheath that.he had first seen in the josshouse in the fair hand of Suey-Koo. * * * * * To Brdbazon--confident that the Commissioner had 'driven the redoubt- able•Chai-Hung into the jungle—there was something delightfully intimate in this invitation to drink tea in true Chinese fashion, sitting on severe, high-backed chair before' black -wood table. Suey-Koo drew him gently to an inner room. Suddenly, a scream of terror from the girl at his side, caused him to glance sharply round. He star- ed in amazement into the evil eyes of the great Chai-Hung. His hands were folded over an enormous paunch, the corners of his mouth turned ominously Pennington sent Chai-Hung head- long into the chamber of death. TWO SEPARATE DAYS down,' and he nodded his head like one of those Chinese figures Brabazon had seen in tea-shops. "We meet again, Mr. Brabazon," he said smoothly, "and, I can assure•you, it is for the last time!" Instinctively, but without hope, Brabazon's hand shot to his pocket. Ile had not thought to coin armed to meet Suey-Koo. "Your daughter was just showing me round,' he replied, forcing a smile. It oecurred to hire a second later that it was tether an unusual hour of the night to call anywhere, and that; in any case, he had no right to be on terms of acquaintance with the daugh. ter of a wealthy Chinaman. "Ah!" commented the other. "She has not shown you everything, because She does not know everything .that' there is to show. We are somewhat different in our treatment of women, Mr. Brabazon. We keep 'thein, in many respects, uninformed, _ We do not allow them the freedom that Wes- tern races do, we do not permit them to meet' casual strangers. -During my enforced absence, discipline' has re- laxed. I came back, as quickly as possible, to remedy this. I find it is beyond my powers. I' ,see that it is too late!" Brabazon placed his hands • on his hips and jerked out his chin. "I'm afraid I don't quite fellow you, Mr. Chai-Hung," he said. The girl hadfallen to her knees,, her head buried in her arms. "After I leave you here—together," he continued hi the same measured tones, tempered with a certain degree of harshness, "you will have a certain —limited time in which to reflect." Ile backed suddenly, toward, the open door. He remained for a second, framed in the doorway. The door closed with a peculiar, metallic sound that sug- gested that it would not easily be opened again, and Brabazon, mute with astonishment, saw that there were no windows! A faint'rnoan from thedirection of the floor caused 'him to'stoop and lift the trembling girl to her feet. She smiled faintly up at him through her tears. "It is the end," she whispered. Brabazon laughed aloud. "The, end! What utter nonsense. It'll have to be a damned strong place to keep me in!" poisonous cloud of smoke. "There is just one 'chance, little Suey-Koo," lie omurmured after a long S silence, trying to buoy her hopes with something he himself dared not be- lieve. She shook her head emphatically. "Theme is none," she declared. "My father is, a11 -powerful here." "There is just one," he .persisted. "There is 'he who sees in the dark' the Englishman 'who' is your father's shadow." ,She nestled closer to him, .her fin - gars stroking his cheeks caressingly. "He will not .come," she said. "I don't think I want him to come. I would rather stop like this, for then I shall always have you. Out in the great world again --I should lose you forever." He took her by both shoulders and held her away from him, forcing her to look into his eyes. "Never on your life," Suey-Koo," he cried. • •;e Almost at his side, the . door flew open with surprising suddenness, re- vealing two struggling` forms beyond, From a tall man in a suit of greasy black, the words rapped out like a eonunand: "Brabazon, get.that girlout, quiet- ly! No you don't, you yellow wine!" This to the ponderous Oriental who strove to wrench himself free from a grip that had fastened on him like a vice. "There's a pistol in my left pocket. Can you get it? Keep them off for a couple of ticks—and I'm with you!" With a Herculean effort, Penning- ton sent Chai-Hung headlong into the chamber of death—and deliberately closed the 'door on hire, the door. that could only be opened front outside.

King George on Son`s Birth- day Makes Him the Duke of Gloucester Dates From The Year 1385 The announcement of a unique gift to Prince Henry was made known re- cently by King George on the eve of the Prince's twenty-eighth birthday. Three dignities were conferred upon the Prince, directly connecting him with England, Scotland and Ireland. The following announcement appeared in The London Gazette: "The King has been pleased to di- rect letters patent to be passed under the great seal of the realm granting to his Majesty's son, his Royal High- ness Prince Henry William Frederick Albert, K,G., C.G,V,O., Captain of the Tenth Royal Hussars and the heir kale of his body lawfully begotten, the dignities of Baron .Culloden, Earl of Ulster and Duke of Gloucester." It is generally believed that Prince Henry will be knownin the future as the: Niko of Moucester, Baron Cul- loden is a nowtitle.' Culloden, Inver- ness-shire, is celebrated in history as the place of the battle •in1746.which settled the fate of the house of Stuart. The last Earl of Ulster, who died in 1425, was a member of the great Mor- timer fancily. He was looked upon by partisans of Richard II. as their fu- ture king, but the Lancastrian revolu- tion upsethis claim. • He later became a stanch art -Spir- ited supporter of Henry V., fighting by -his side in the French wars. His kindly- character earned for him the name of "Edmund the Good." The other title just granted to Prince Henry, the Dukedom of Glbu tester, is one of extensive national traditions and has a wide historical interest. The title has been revived for the seventh time during the course of five and a half centuries. The duke- dom dates from the year 1385, when it was conferred upon a younger son of Edward IIT. When he was found _ guilty of treason his title was forfeit- ed. In the year 1414 a son of Henry IV. took the title, but as he had no son the title again lapsed. It wasrecreated for Richard, the brother of Edward.IV., who later be- came King Richard ITh . 'With his death on Bosworth Field it . lapsed again. 1,u 1659 the title was reived for.a brother of Charles II., who died! without ever having married -William III. made his `nephew William . tint Duke, of Gloucester, but on his death It again became extinct. George III created the title a sixth time•for his brother, William Henry. Ho passed it along to his son, William Frederick, who was permitted to use the title of Prince William ' of Glou- cester. The dukedom, however, lapsed again when he died without issue in 1834. Prince Henry, the`present Dulte of Gloucester, has actively followed an army career. He was appointed aide de camp to Earl Cavan, Commander- in-Ohief at Aldershot\in 1921, and ho acted as Counsellor of State during his Majesty's':absence abroad in 1925. In that year also he was introduced 'to the Privy Council.
