Was the prosperous Chinese trade
come to keep an appointment he ha
made with someone, possibly a stran-
ger to the district. ''He a fad' selected
an .unmistakable landmark • for 'his
rendezvous. He wore a white drill
tunic, buttoned up to the neck; wide -
legged trousers of rustling black silk,
and boots with elastic sides. An um-
brella of oiled paper—yellow ,inside
and red without—was tucked under
one arm; and a solar topee of sur-
prising whiteness contrasted strange-
ly with the swarthy skin beneath.
The thundering of a pony's hooves
died away, into the distance, a sad,
den, momentary silence fell upon the
hidden monkey -colonies, and the figure
of a white ratan appeared at an open-
ing between the trees. He stood for hi
a moment gazing round m: Present-
ly his glance fell upon the still form
en the bridge. It was perhaps strange
that at the very moment the English-
man's eyes were turned in his direc-
tion,. the Oriental should become aware
of the piercing rays of a tropic sun--
and open the umbrella for which he
had hitherto found no nee!
The newcomer started visibly'` and
carne forward with swift, strides until
he halted within a couple of feet of
the Chinaman.
"Morning,. Hewitt," said the Celes-
tial in surprisingly good. English.
"Glad yeti managed to roll up."
The Commissioner of Police started.
"Pennington! I didn't know you."
"That's precisely as it should be,"
returned the other. "Int delighted to
see you, because, for one ,thing, I
know you'd like to be in at the death
and, for another, I've a hazy notion in
the back of my mind that you don't
altogether agree with my methods"
Captain John Hewitt, raisedhis hel-
met and mopped his forehead.
"I don't say that," he returned, "putI venture to contend that you don't
give yourself a fair chance. It's per
factly' natural for you to want all the
kudos for the capture of Chai-Hung,
but you ought to begin to realize by
this time, that our murderous friend
is 'not likely to be caught single-
handed. Besides, this affair's gone on
too long. I'm getting chits ,every day
from the Governor asking when the
Yellow Seven gang is likely to be run
to earth, You've had two chances al
ready, you must remember—"
The man with the Chinese eyes
frowned.
"I've had the luck of the devil," he
admitted, "but I'd like to impress on
you "that, but for me, nobody would
have identified Chai-Hung with the
gang at all. And," he added defiantly,
"there have been a lot less gang mur-
ders on the island since I landed"
"There'd be fewer still -if we could
bring Ohai-Bung to justice."-
They left the bridge and, threading.
their way through. the trees, came
presently to a solitary hut, raised high
on poles, a bamboo ladder giving ac-
cess to a hole in the woodwork. It
stood in a wide clearing, waist -high
with lalang, and both men held their
hands above their heads toavoid cut-
ting them on the leaves of the treach-
erous weeds.
Hewitt followed Pennington up the
ladder into the single apartment of
which. the edifice boasted.' The latter
pushed forward a 'box and, squatting
contentedly on the rough flooring, felt
behind him in some mysterious recess
for beer.
"And so," said the Commissioner,
withdrawing his lips from the mouth
of the bottle with a resounding smack,
"I'm to be in at the death, am I?"
Chinese Pennington nodded,
"I'll admit I've been a long time
over the job," he said, "but Chai-
Hung's a genius. He had every China-
man on the island under his thumb—
once."
"Once?" Hewitt echoed blankly.
"Before I drove him into the, back-
woods, hounded him to Island N., and
cut off his source of supplies effective-
ly. No sort of organization can thrive
on air!"
Ile shifted his position on the bare
boards and 'felt for his pouch.
"How's Monica " he inquired pres-
ently, screwing up his eyes until they
disappeared altogether behind those
strange diagonal slits that had been
directlyresponsible for the adjective
that invariably preceded his name..
The Commissioner smiled.
"Pretty fit. I've got a note for you
in One of my pockets." Thelinesof
his handsome face hardened suddenly
and he began stroking his black hair
with the flat of his hand. "Look here,
Penn. When are you.tWo gni igto get
married? Monica's fretting her soul
out because you're still prowling.
about, carrying your life in your hand.
If you were actually the confounded
idiot you appear to be sometimes, . I
wouldn't tell you all this. I'd be the
last man to :tell any ordinary feller
that a sister of mine was missing
meals on his account. But I'm count-
ing on you to understand my motives,

There were a dozen or so of Chai-
Hung's followers in the room.
of perspiration stood out on his
temples.
"Where is he?" he asked -quietly.
Pennington was clipping the stray
ends of tobacco from a freshly rolled
cighret.
"In a lone hunt in a gully with a
wall of solid rook behind him and as
many of your agents as I could mus-
ter watching every possible apploach."
Hewitt shook his head.
"Still the persistent optimist," he
said .grimly. "How many times have
you drawn in yeti net—only to find
that Chai-Hnng has escaped it?"
"True, oh king! .And yet, old son,
I've got Chai-Hung! He's down with
rever and none of the followers who
still' stand by him dare shift him—if
they could. A queer thing that, Jack!
He who has successfully defied every
effort of".0 white civilization to entrap
him, has all but succumbed to the
common enemy of us all!"
The Commissioner bent forward
until the box on which he sat tilted
dangerously.
"How do you know all this?"
"I've seen him!"
Chinese Pennington blew out a thin
wreath of blue smoke and watched it
as it ascended roofward.
"I scouted round until I bribed one
of Chai-Hung's men th take me to his
lair. It was a mighty tough proposi-
tion, and if the feller had guessed for
a moment who I was -,-he'd have
thrown in ,his hand. I pitched a yarn
that I had heard of the great bandit
and had come all the way from Singa-
pore to settle a dispute that had arisen
as to whether such a man as Chai-
Hung existed at all. He took me to be
s Chinese magnate with more money
than sense, and consented—on the con-
dition that I went alone and unarmed.
2 wormed my way to the hut—and
peered' through a convenient crack
where the timbers had worked apart.
Chai-Hung lay on a sort of stretcher.
I saw enough to satisfy me that there
could be no possible deception. There
were a dozen or so of his followers in
the room and a pack" of Chinese play-
ing-cardsspread face -downward on
the table.,'
"I know," broke in Hewitt grimly.
"They were drawing for the Yellow
Seven. I'm not likely to forget the
time when you pulled me out of a tight
corner, when they'd got me and were
drawing lots for the pleasure of
assassinating me. Go on:

ad Garden
Thegardener, like the artist,' 011011ld
be a creator of pictures. ;By cleverly
and tastefully :combining, .colors and
forms in flowers' he makes a garden
picture. A fairly large garden, if prop-
erly °planned, will present a definite
scheme In which one color serves to
emphasize the other,
IN one is to use all of his favorites,
it sometimes isnecessary to have
nlere,..tlran One garden, so that colors
that will not agree be . kept at a safe
distance from each other. The gar-
den, when more closely examined,
should, show a series of small pic-
tures, each complete in- itself, and all
combining to form a harmonious
whole: If advantage ,is taken of the
varying height of the _plants, it' is
quite possible to :hide discordant col-
ors from each other, thus mak! g, it
Possible to usethem in one garcl. ".
Certain colors, though well enough
in themselves, ,produce discord°when
placed in •Coirjunotion with other col-
ors. Magenta Is in disrepute With
many because of its; inability to har-
monize with the majority of colors
found in flowering .plants. However,
the old-fashioned magenta -toned phlox
that produces, (11000x1 in many gar-
dens becomes quite presentable if
planted in ,drifts, in a shaded situa-
tion, with cream' or lavender Rowers
or gray foliage near by. Scarlet, too,
is difficult to manage, but is valuable
if some thought' is given as to its sur-
roundings. Color presents a problem
(especially In the:amall garden) which
many do not recognize. As a result,
we too often see pink phlox squatting
benignly bolow;,tiger lilies during late
July Rather an awful combination!
Grayish Foliage
If there is but one garden, and the
owner desires both scarlet lychnis, for
instance, and pink phlox, there 113-110
reason_why he should forego eit),ier.
The thing, to do would be to put the
two at a. distance"by'the use of some
yrhite ;or crerig flower 'or 'grayish
foliage. If the proper numbers, of
each' are used the plan will be suc-
cessful, but if the gardener does not
wish to : experiment, lie had better
choose two plants that will combine
more easily.
In a garden which bas a general'
color scheme of blue and .yellow, it is
safe to introduce lavender, shades of
purple, cream, orange, and, care being
used, even the reds and scarlets as
accents. In such a garden the major-
ity of perennials could be grown. The
few that could not could be placed in
a border in some other part of the
plot.
Certain floral combinations, though
hackneyed, are undeniably beautiful.
As an -instance, there is the delphini-
um belladonna and madonna. lily
group. ;Chi0' effective pair are seen
in nearly every sizable garden. Con-
siderable zest will be imparted to this
grouping by the addition of? either
coreopsis or deep red annual poppy.
The latter will bloom in June from
self- or fall -sown 'seed. The same red
poppy, sown broadcast with blue corn-
flowers and caliopls will form a gay
patch of color. The ruby -colored corn-
flower intermingled with California
poppies of -pale yellow or cream
shades or with the improved' dwarf
sunflowers "Orion" and "Stella" will
Make a rather unusual contrast. The
starry form of the sunflower will show
to fullest advantage against the fuller
form of the cornflowers. Tiger lilies,
of themselves a rather difficult brick -
orange, are charming when surround-
ed with tall white phlox and a pale
blue or lavender flower. Numerous
original and effective combinations
will be discovered if one experiments.
They will often occur quite by acct
dent,
The. irises, on account of their mar-
velous coloring and un su ual form,
may be a part of many beautiful com-
binations The wealth of good colors
found in the late Darwin tulips sug-
gests them as companion flowers to
the irises.. The irises will contrast
with the heavier forms of the tulips,
and provide a screen for their drying
stalks later in the season, , The cot-
tage tulips, coming a bit earlier thrall
the Darwin, may be used with the
spring perennials; tulip "Thomas
Moore," a peculiar tawny orange, is
charming with forget-me-not or Greek
valerian (Polemonium reptans).,
' Tulips and Irises
Among the 'summer -blooming per-
ennials, try the lemon lily ; (demero-
callis flava), placed to the rear of, the
spiderwort ('Pradescantia virginica).:
Plant them closely, so= that they
mingle, and the result will be au effec-
tive combination of soft yellow' and
glowing:1)01310.. Phlox .sliowing _2 ten-

cessfully combined, with a aavender

fore, lo shield,the long state Of tile;
phlox, and let the campanula rise with
the phlox, so that the long lavender

with: the round bloom of the :phlox.
The campaniilu will try to possess the
entire garden, but ;nay be kept within
bounds 10 the clumps are surrounded
by the .phlox plants, which etre usually
lusty enough to form a barrier through
which the campanula cannot' pass. It
May be supposed that any -,other
species of ,campanula blooming with
the phlox might be used in place Of
rapunculoitles, but this one thrives
very well with the ,phlox, at quite
close 'quarters, whereas the ,others.
might not.
With the autumn flowers, the Yel-
low and orange of the numerous sun-
flower elan will. harmonize very well
with the purples and lavenders of the
asters. These two groups hold the
centre of the stage from late August
until frost. The few pink flowered
plants of outwit -1i, as 'Anemone japoni-
ca and certain hardy asters, will .be
swamped if they are exposed to com-
petition with the gayer fall colors, and
wi111,require a setting ail' their own
to: show, at best advantage, These
flowers' will • form their own picture
if placed in the 'company of some of
the paler blue asters and ...the late
blooding monks -hoods. •
A contrast in ,flower forms is often
needed' in the garden to avold monot-
ony. As an instance, flowers with
"heavy" blooms, as the hyacinth, ap-
pear at better advantage if they have.
as a neighbor some plant of lighter
Vim, as Alyssum saxatile or forget-
me-not •- The. bulkier of the lilies, as
auratum, would benefit 'by having the
clear-cut blooms of coreopsis near by.
Cornflower, baby's breath and stachys
ianata are valuable where a softening
touch is needed. The baby's breath is
useful to strike a contrasting note
with the rather stiff forms .of , the
gladioli.
Coreopsis
In the early summer, when the
spring -.flowers are ended and the hot
wind and sun have not yet turned all -
green things a dull gray, the- core-
posis dot the earth with their splen-
dor. Their fringed faces, brilliant
yellow, maroon -centered, sway care-
lessly on slender stalks. So the earth
is carpeted 'with a yellow and red
velvet.
On the prairies they may be seer,
fields of them. The wind, coming
across great flat spaces, causes them
to bend and curtsey as it passes, so
that the whole earth becomes a mass
of swaying yellow, splashed 'with
darkest red. Early comers to this
mid -west prairie country tell of their
first sight of it and their memory of
the coreopsis, acres and acres of
waving yellow beneath a blue sum-
mer sky. ' Cities have conte lately;
farms and roads.; but still there lin-
gers that memory of the .flat, lowly-
ing prairie and the waves of yellow
stretching ,to a far horizon.
They are in the. low hills, too,
among the rooks, small clumps of
them shining against the dark stones•.
At the foot of the hills masses of,
yellow, whichhave run down from
the high places and are lying at the
Mee, spread near the trunks of the
trees, as if the leaves had rained a
shower of blossoms upon the grade.
Along the streams they may be
found, , following the line of trees
which winds across the Country., By
the roads and highways, ribbons of
yellow and 'red lead over hills, into
valleys and out upon the prairie.
Always there is the blue sky with-
gray and white clouds, the intense
green grass and trees, and the show-
ers'of coreopsis hoer the earth.,

iched f®r
Fall and Winter
For autumn wear, spots and plaids
are expected to take tbe place of the
small ndat prints. The spotr'are to
be combined in all-over designs and
also to assume diverse forms in the
way of wheels, cords, dots and blots.
From a Manchester house comes a
print of a small figure in pastel color-
ing on a white broclie ground. An-
other is 'a geometric design of zigzag'
stripes of yellow and two shades of
blue combinedewith squares of red
and black.
In voile, Ferguson Brothers of Car

The ieavier materials presented foi
)lent winter bid fair to be extremely
'popular. From Lyons Come new vel
vets in geometrical designs, in a- va
riety 'of stripes, in` fiorals, in .plain
patterns with woven small chevrons
in double and two tones.
New Effects In Transparent Velvet
If transparent yelvet gained such
marked popularity last winter, it
seems as though the new ones pre-
sented by Lyons should be even more
so- this year. Ivor one : thiug, the
-vogue for using velvets for negligees,
sports jackets and coats, and evening
wraps, has been set and people _ no
longer think of velvet for frocks
alone. Then, too, there is a greater
variety in those faeonne 'velvets in
regard to the weaves and the design.
One pattern, for example, is floral,
with daisies in white rayon on a
red chiffon ground finely striped with
gold. Florals, by the way, are more
popular than the geometrical designs.
This is probably due to the fact that
the softness of a flower design is bet-
ter suited to the delicate meterlal;
or it may possibly be because of the
Perfected process of printing the vel-
vet on the back. Thus rose designs
appear in new effects of subdued
shades.

The woolens favored for daytime
sports costumes, are velvety or very,
very soft. The extremely soft grades
are made of angora, a revival of a
fabric in use two seasons ago. The
majority of the woolens are loosely
woven with open squares, although
some are closely woven in a canvas
effect and others,, seem to form a
small fanty sort of armure.
The colors of these woolens are
c1u11 neutral shades of brown biege
and blue, although they are presented
in pastel coloring for summer wear..

--Next in importance are . tweeds.
Sglue dressmakers, Worth, for exam-
ple, place' them 00 the very basis of
their sports clothes. Tweeds are
loosely woven in black and white mix-
turesli `or, like .men's mixtures, pre•
sent a ]rind of design in the weave.
A striped tweed in brown and biege
has a border of darker tones. Chev-
rons and herringbone are in evidence
and one design offered by a leading
manufacturer shows an English mix-
ture woven with_ a modern design.
There •Is noend to the variety of
patterns and designs in both tweeds
and woolens, it seems. In some in-
stances woolens become like pattern-
ed silks and have designs of blue or
red --dots on a biege ground, or have
a novel appearance because the de=
signs are woven solidly in closely
woven woolen, somewhat like a wool-
en blanket, and present almost the ap-
pelirance of a -printed motif.

HOME HINTS•
When you are out of certain flavor-
ings, it is possible to %nubile others'

give a pistachio flavor; rose and al-
mond taste much like sherry. Grated

place of extracts, , '

Campers Like
Outboard Motors
The outboard motor is with the auto-
mobilemobile the campers' greatest
blessing, declares the Camping editor
of "Forest and Stream."
"I can well remember the time,"
this outdoor authority writes in the
August issue -of the ,sport monthly,
"when people looked upon the' out-
board motor as just another one of
those new -tangled notions that would
be with us a short time and then pass
on into the beyond of forgotten things.
It did not impress people as being
substantial• enough for the, work cut
out for it; that it could ot be de-
pended upon and that its practical'
uses would always be limited. The in,
dividuals who held these beliefs have
seen the outboard motor •rise into
prominence as one of the greatest
benefits to those who work or seek
pleasure upon the waters of this rooirn
try. or the.worldr for -that matter:, The •
boat itself weighs very little and takes
up` but small space in the equipment.
You will find the outboard motor your
greatest friend whether on the north-
ern lakes and rivers in the summer
or on the southern rivers and bayous
in the winter.
How advantageous itwould be 'If
the teeth of the law were all wisdom
