e Pennington thrust his head
g S
in ,at the doorway of IIewitt's office
and blinked toward where the, 'Com-
missioner sat at his desk apparently
immersed' in ;thought, but, in reality,
watching the antics of a Siamese kit-
ten. that his sister was tantalizing
with . a champagne cork suspended
from a string.
"Welt,." .•deneanded ' the intruder.
"How's things?"
Captain John Hewitt started gill
11y and Monica, grasping the folds o
her`imono with one hand and the kit-
ten with the other, dropped. into e
"Morning,'. Pennington," said the
Commissioner. "Anything fresh?"
The man with the peculiar 'eyes
came : in languidly -
"Mrs: 'Viney's the freshest thing
I've been this morning," he admitted
"Don't be - a fool," recommended
Monica, flushing. She held theallilnal
up for inspection, "Isn't he sweet?
Mr. Dawson :sent him down from
ICetatan." `
• "What are you going to Ball ;it?"
Monica's forehead'wi.'inicle8, prettily,
"Peter!" she declared with sudden
emphasis.
"That's,niy name."
The Commissioner swung rountx'-in
his chair: and , smiled.
Monica iose suddenly and remade foe
the door. tin the -threshold she stop-
ed and glanced back over her shoulder.
"Are you going to be frightfully
busy, Mr. Pennington?" she asked.
"Because I've thousands of things to
talk to you about when John's finish-
ed with you,"'
Pennington turned "presently and
saw her brother regarding him curi-
ously.
"I imagine you want to merry Mon-
ica?" he suggested, bluntly.
Pennington's eyee that were set like
an Oriental's on, his youthful counten-
ance, disappeared behind their diag-
onal slits.
"And supposing I do?"
Theme was something in the ring of
his voice that suggested, he feared op-
position on the part of the Conunis-
stoner of Police himself; but -•^Dewitt
shot from Itis chair and dropped both,
hands on the younger man's Moulders,
"Pennington, old son," he'dec1ared,
"there's nothing on this earth that I'd
like better."
"Thanks," said the other huskily,
"What are my chances, d'you think?"
"If you ask me my opinion, I should
say you've as•much likelihood of being
successful as lay man on the island.
Why don't you ask her—tow?"
Pennington waved a hand in front
of him as if to dispel a moist that had
suddenly; arisen.
"You seht for ine because your tenet-
tory was over -run by the Yellow Seven
gang. .The instant I embarked on my
investigations, I . realized that their
Ieadbr—Chai-Bung—was the toughest
nut I had yet set out: to crack, It was
after I was certain of my feelings
toward your sister that I swore to
myself never to submit my proposal
until I had finally run ChM -Hung to
earth."
Ilawitt stood stroking his smooth
black hair,
"Well," he declared. "You aecom-
fished what you set out to do. Yon
caught Chai-Hurig in ,his own trap.
The Governor thanked: you personally.
What more d'you want?"
Pennington dropped wearily into a
chair.
"Pm:not satisfied," he told him,
"My eontrget was to get the blighter

I had a horde of his ruffians at my
heels and 'young Brabazon to get out
of the scrape'fete which he'd tumbled.
Brrabazoim•toak my histol and kept '01
off, while I threw Chai-Hung into the
death -chamber. It was full of poison-
Otis fumes, I'll admit, and I doubt if a
fly could have lived in it; but I'd have
given everything I possessed to see
that villainous face composed for its
last sleep,
"clew?" he demanded.
"Get •t u. agent—Lien-
Yin.
gent- ien-.
in touch with his ar, L
Yin. Tell him that at all costs he
must furnish you with every proof
that Chai-IIinmg• is dead."
The Commissioner pressed the bell,
"It's a shellof a nuisance, he an-
nounced somewhat testily, -"and I'm
only going through with it for your
sake—and Monica's."
Pennington closed the door after
him; and strolled' toward where' Mrs.
Viney was bitting, the Siamese cat
curled up fast asleep in her lap. A
chair—a long cane affair, with Cush-
ions in chintz covers -was drawn up,
so closely that its protruding arm al-
most touched hers. The very prbxin-i
ity;of the thing thrilled She anis he
accepted the invitation it offered.
"You want to talk to me," he ye -
(tured at length.
The girl regarded him thoughtfully:
• "Yes," she admitted. "I want you
to tell the what I ought to do. It
seems so dreadful not to have some
definite object in Iife. It's been borne
upon me rather forcibly lately that
I'm deo real use to anybody. I'm sup-
posed to be keeping house for my bro-
ther. , Ile looked after himself very
well before I came out., The truth is
I -I'd nowhere`else to go, I interfere
with his work; he's ,perpetually anx-
ious for my safety, and. he's seriously
exercised -as to my future." She pick=
Ied' up her fan and yawned behind it.:
I "Thing's can't go on like this forever,
can they?"
"I suppose not,:', agreed Pennington,
inwardly cursing his luck that pre-
vented him voicing what to him, at
that inomeemt, was an'amazingly '`simple
solution to the difficulty.
"There's only one thing for it," con-
tinued Monica desperately. _• "I've got
to get married!"
1 Pennington crimsoned to the roots
- of his ruffled hair.
"Married!" he eohoed blankly.
"I'suppose you're going to tell the
...,"You ignore the importance of cir-
cumstantial evidence," said '.Hewitt.
That was a month ago. 'There hasn't
been a single outrage since~ And every
Chinaman on the island went into
mourning. That's good enough for
me, and it ought. to be good emiongh
for you."
"All!" commented Chioese Pen-
nington, still unconvinced. "Have you
any idea where they buried him?" '
The Cotmnimissioner spools his Bead.

"No, That's the devil, of R. I've

`her statement upon her hearer, but
`she could, only see the few unruly
hairs that sprouted up at the back of
his head, just where the irregular
'parting ended.
"Verbal?" he inquired with exag-
gerated disin'tereiiness.
I "No, in 'Writing. Would you like to

"Goodness, no!"
He turned.. toward her, his boyish
face twisted into an expression of hor-

"I didn't say it was Dawson!" She

continued innocently.
"Great heavens, Mrs. Viney! 'Why

Thirty seconds later, the brainstorm

the only thing that came to offer con-

Cornwall, properly lcno.wn 515 Church
Cliff, wi11 soon become a national
monument 1t plans made by the Rev.
A. Iilissard Barnes, vicar at Tiutagei,
come to maturity this year. This
stretch of. cliff, about fifty sores in
area, stands as a bulwark against the
Atlantic rollers, and commands magn!-
lieem views of a countryside whiett
is rieit with the legends of Arthur
Pendragon and his Iinigltts of tate
Round Table.
Below the elISY, and within view
ft'otn its top, is the 'precipitous island
rock upon wlticle are a portion of the
ruins' qt an ancient castle, by popu-
lar belief the birthplace of the after-
ward celebrated Ring Arthur. Not
fat away is the. stone -marked Slaugle
ter Bridge, where many say the last
battle of At'tltur was fought, and
where the iast of the Pendragons re-
ceived his fatal wound.

Milton, in his History of Britain, re-
marks: "4inllo Ai•tlun' was, and wheth-
er, any such person reigned in Bri-
tain, hath teen doubted. heretofore,
and mita.y again, with; good reason."
Scholars and historians have pointed
out that there is little evidence
worth consideration that Arthur was,
more than the creation of natural
myth" Yet to, • MAY Cornishmen,

The isle cf Tintagel and the ruins
upon it now belong to the Prince of
Wales, as Duke of Cornwall. Much of
the oteer laud of especial note, in tete
region is similarly protected for pos-
terity. But the area along Church

Since the Inorease in the tourist
trade of the region began, the value
of tb•e land for building sites has
steadily gone up. The Rev. A. Bile
sard Barnes and others interested in
the sentlmentai value of the cliff front
have been alarmed eately lest au espe-
cially finceoffer'induces the church to
cell, allowing the cliffs to -fail into
private hands. Accordingly they have
taken steps to buy the land - thetn-
melres, at a price of £1,500, which is
said .to be less than half the value of
Um cliff even now for building sites,
and to turn it over to the National
Trust, uatioual society for the pre

Reindeer Company consisted of, 1,280
reindeer. This 5111011 herd has foe
°•eased to its' present total of 11,600
animals.
Mr. Howard estimated about - 13
months would be required to move
the immense herd overland across time
Barren lands and on time shores of
the Hudson Bay. Ile stated that it
was expected the natural increase of

by the company to establish the herd
on Canadian soil. In the markets of

Dr. J. W. Edgar, a passenger 'who
landed with several of the liner's oitl-
esi's, declared the islanders were badly
in need of relief when the Empress
of - France arrived. Fortunately the
weather was good -and twenty tone
of food and clothing were sent on
More. .
160 People on island.
The Rev. R:' A. Pooley, who went
to: Tristan eleven menthe ago with a
lay assistant,' had met no one from
the outside world since his arrival.
He -gave Dr. Edgar a favorable report
about the lite of the little community
Of. 150 people. There had been only
one death since the last ship called-
a little girl had fallen down the moun-
tain and been killed. ' The people have
eitjoyed tee superb health made pos-
sible: by the germ -free atmosphere of
the South Atlantic.
Time islanders approached Dr. Edgar_
with bleliocic horns, shells and penguin
feathers, which they wished to barter
for food and clothing. They had no
use for money. Many of the Islanders
rowed out to'elte liner in their canvas
boats and tasted ice creast for the
first time.
Dr. Edgar was impressed by the
physlque of the islanders, especially
their very fine teeth. He fhougltt,
however, that their mentality had; sue.
feted through their isolation. There
was no tueanity, but their outlook on
life was extrenteTy limited. Only a
few of the older people bad ever been
away from the island.
Dr. Pooley, in, a letter recently re-
ceived, satd:
"The islanders welcomed me as a
leader outside their own circle, There
is no need ,to ab�ndon Tristan da
Cunha, for a profitable trade in whales,
batt and seabirds' eggs could be built
up. If Britain gives up the island,•
some other nation would quickly seize
it. Norway would be, glad to estate
lisle a whaling station' here..

Dr. Pooley -considers that some of
the islanders should be removed to
