PROFPESSOR KARMEN, at the Briâ€" tish Museum, tells Beck that he had met Nolescue in Suchow, and says that he was seeking the whereabouts of a silk weaver named TAO LI. It is known that Tao Li has been tortured to death because it is believed that he knew where a valuable Chinese jewel, "The Five Eyes of Medichus," which has been pillaged from a temple in the mountains, is hidden. It is believed that the silk weaver imparted the seâ€" cret to the silk he was weaving at the time he discovered that members of a Chinese secret society were on his trail. Beck believes that Nolescue came to London to discover this consignment of silk. The Assistant Commissioner does not hold with the superintendent‘s theory, but Beck is determined to put it to the test, and alone with INSPECâ€" TOR GRAVES, his assistant goes down to PETER OXTON‘S house to ask a few more questions. His Eastern cast of ccuntenance was less pronounced than it would have been had he been . attired ~â€"in more flamboyant clothing.

Sen Yat Soh was a Chinese merchant with business in Lonâ€" den. wWith the solitary exception of Ming, his aide, he travelled alone. Ming was more typically Oriental than his master, but then Ming‘s caste was less honourable than his Gdespite the faâ€" mous association of his name. Qutside the station a large black saloon car awaited. At the wheel an inscrutable Chinaman who looked conâ€" siderably less like a Chinaman than he would have done without his livery and his deepâ€"peaked cap. It was fourâ€" thirty‘ in the afternoon and growing dusk leisurely., The chauffeur seeming to sense the approach of Sen Yat Soh deszsended from his seat and opened the door of the rear compartment. He saAluted smartly as the elderly Chinaâ€" man entered and Ming, having disâ€" posed of the luggage, climbed up beâ€" side the driver. Mr. Sen Yat Soh was an adaptable Oriental despite the fact that his lineâ€" age, so he liked to think, was so remote that it had long been lost in the "movâ€" ing sands" of the Gobi desert. He was intimately acquainted with London, alâ€" though he found many changes when he stepped from the train at Victoria Station wearing his immaculate tailored European dress with a nonchalance that would have done credit to a member of the Stock Exchange on a formal «* casion.
