The sun-, kist orange of California reached us from West China by way of Spain. Tangarines, the best per- simmons, and apricots, as well as varieties of cherries and peaches, all originated in China. Recently we have: begun to re- pay our debt. Twenty years ago Dr. Frank Dickinson of West China Union University returned to his post fron furlough with a number of scedlings of the fam- ous Eureka lemon to be planted on the Chengtu campus. Just before his boat reached Chung- king it was wrecked in a rapid and when the scedlings finally werg recovered from the bottom of the Yangtze all dead except one. This year hundreds of crates of fine lemons are being sent to River, were the corners of Free China. All these lemons, a crop in 1943 worth a million. dollars to the Chinese people, are the descénd- ants of this one tree. . Dr. Dickinson also has added fine apples to the Chinese et Sometimes travelers from abroad who visit him are gratified to find on the breakfast table some of the finest apples they have every geen, Their host may tease them with the statement that this fruit has just arrived by Clipper from America. Actually, the. markets _of Chengtu * often heaped are with "apples American farmers would be proud to produce.

Major Hazelrigg wouldn't write that. He helped me to escape." ) "I'm sure he did. Succeeded, too. Got you into the best place for you, moreover. Véry clever. Cleverest man in the Intelligence. . Heard of some of his coups be- fore. . . . Well, we've got you all right. . . . Now then, what be- came of the other men -- those that Major Hazelrigg must have sent you off with--his own men, our agents?" "Why, T:..1,..1 brought them in here, sir. They are here in the fort." : __"Oh, are they? Well, my in- formation is that they are not. ceived "from Mr. Macintyre is that you've brought into this fort ON YOUR OWN PERSONAL: WORD AND ABSOLUTE GUAR- ANTEE, a collectiondof-the big- gest scoundrels, outlaws, agita- tors, terrorists und most danger- ous ¢hemies we've got." "You are looking after them, I suppose?" he interrupted him- self, turning to Maclntfre. "Yes, sir. 1 thoyitht I had better speak to you before put- ting them under arrest, but I turned out the guard and told the are, lying down where they are until I came back." ~- : Colonel Garstan stared at the paper in front of him and then at Vere-Vaughan. = "Anything to say before I put you under arrest?" he asked. "But 1...T...1 don't under- stand, sir. Major Hazelrigg, dis- guised as a aPthan, came into the said that these people were all right nad that they'd get me to Giltraza Fort, and that he'd give me a note to you which he would write in Russian ir case it went astray." . "Quite so," smiled Colonel Garstan unpleasantly. ~ "He said he had got a most important message for you about the Hadji of Turangzai and the Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot, and that he'd let you know that my escort were good fellows who --- though doubtless with some hope 'of reward--would see me safe here. 1 promised one of them a thousand rupees and---" "And all the rest of it," inter- rupted Colonel Garstan., 'And you actually mean to tell me that Major Hazelrigg, who ha: spent * most of his service on_the Border here disguised as a Pathan, didn't recognize the infamous Chimnai, the man he has been after for months?" - "Of course he knew them all," continued Garstan, "and I haven't the slightest doubt that he was in Sufed Kot simply Lecause ahomet will '0 to the hill-- | Cc ' another man with him, Khoda 'these men to be--an enemy of "VeéreVaughan immediately, Chimnai and his gang had taken refuge there. Well, once again, have you anything to say bfeore I put you under arrest?" "I can only say, sir, that I "cannot understand what has hap- pened. I can't tell--" "I can, though, 1 can tell you exactly what happened. "You got away from Sufed Kot with Major . Hazelrigg's help AND with some of our people, his agents. You got away all right ---- but you were followed and the whole of your lot were scuppered, all except you, by Chimnai and the rest. And they gave yau the choice of having your throat cut or com- ing here with them, Isn't that it? Something of that. sort?" N "No, _sir. Absolutely nothing of the sort, I swear." Colonel Garstan. rose to his feet. "Well, you are under ar- rest. I'll sce to you when I come back, I'm now going to handcuff your friends--whom you guaran- teed and brought in here with - their rifles loaded. 80, are you disposed to--er--give me any help?" help 1 can sir. Why shouldn'{*? T can't understand what! can I do?" And the stout Garstan with his one-way mind, his forthright simple and honest stupidity, stood for a moment starifg at -Vere- Vaughan in deep thought, an un- wonted exercise for the good fellow. "What puzzles me," said he-- and the whole thing puzzled him pretty nearly to death--"is why you didn't give the show away. (their show, of course I mean) directly you were in this room, ,in safety." Poor young Vere-Vaughan's face lit up. "But of course, sir! If I had thought my only way of getting safe in here was to come in with these men;--and I-had done such a cowardly, foul, fool thing, shouldn't 1 round on them the moment I was safe?" "Aye," murmured nodding his wise head. MacIntyre, snapped Garstan. "Oh, God," protested Vere- Vaughan, "of course I didn't! Because I never was in any dan- ger from them. 1 tell you, sir, they are 'my friends. They have helped me to escape. We have had a running fight more or less the whole way, three ppris of them doing rear-guard "action while I pushed on with the others." - "Look here, Vere-Vaughan," replied Garstan. "Here's the test. Do you give me your word of honor as an officer and a gentle- man that you know each one of the Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot and a friend of the Sirkar? Do you guarantee that they are all escaping from Sufed Kot and genuinely taking refuge in this fort? And with no other object or hope but to get safe across the Border before the Singing Hadji catches them?" "YES, SIR, 1 DO," xeplied.. "1 guarantee that "Wali Dad, the leader, comes from Kurnai; that he was the leader of the men who caught me when the plane crash- ed," saved me then, as long ago as that, from being killed by the followers of the Mullah of Kurnai and took me to the Malik. In the - end the Mullah of Kurnai would have got me and handed me over to the Singing Hadji, but Wali Dad was in charge of me and more or less prevented me from being put to death, protected me. both on the way and at Kuinai, "Then, while I was in Kurnal, expecting to be handed over for the Hadji to cut my throat at any moment, Wali Dad brought Khan Abazai, when he * brought my food one night, This man ad- mitted that he was an unwilling deserter from the Indian army and wanted to go back and asked if I would do my best for him it 'he helped me to escape. Of course I said I would, and bar- gained with: him, Then he and Wali Dad got to work and no doubt promised all sorts of things to friends of 'theirs whom they knew could be induced to come in with them. They all wanted Before I do "I'll give _you every possible & "Well, you didn't, anyway," LocB PN PEP RT EEE took the line that this man, Khoda Khan, was my agent, so to speak, in the matter, and they must deal with him, I've no doubt he bribed them with all sorts of promises and encouraged the be- lief that there would be a big ransom to divide." "And you mean to tell me that you believed all. this?" asked Colonel Garstan. "I'm telling you everything exactly as it happened, sir," re- plied Vere-Vaughan, "I hadn't implicit faith in any of them-- unless it were Khoda Khan, who had been a Sepoy gnd seemed a good chap, and ni Wali Dad-- until I found that every one of them was willing to take the most 'solemn oath with the Koran in his hand, that they would get me safely here. I believed it was all right, sir, and just before I got away I was quite sure it was." "Why?" "Because Major Hazelrigg him- self guaranteed the men and told me that with any luck I should reach Giltraza Fort safely, and that I was to tell you that he was in the Sufed Kot country, and give you a message. I can't understand it, sir." And then Garstan, who is a mna of action, promptly got down to it with the outlaws. And one has to admit that Usman Shah was able to clear away any linger- ing doubt that mained in what Garstan's mind. From the door of-a disused- storeroom that happened to be empty and that had been allotted to Vere-Vaughan's friends, Us- man Shah suddenly whispered "Chimnai!" And Chimnai, doubt. less thinking it was one of the band, - promptly answered, "What's up? Who is it?" "It's I, Usman Shah. Don't you remember me; Chimnai? I recog- nized you at once. What do I get if I don't betray you, Chim- we must call nai? What do I get if I help you?" "Come in here," whispered Chimnai. = "No fear," replied. Usman Shah. "Not I You come out' here, Chimnai, if? off talk business." a 3 And out crept Chimmnal, to find a powerful electric torch turned on him, and to see Colonel Gar- stan, revolver in hand and a business-like firing squad stand. ing at the ready. " "Hands up, Chimnai! Quick!" ordered Garstan, raifing his. re- volver. Chimnai, who had escap- ed out of that sort of fix before, put them up and was promptly seized by half a dozen hearties who had been waiting on either side of the doorway. After waiting a few minutes, a score' of rifles pointing at the doorway, Garstan told Chimnai to call to Mahazil and tell him to come out. And on Chimnai's taking no notice of the order, he promised. him faithfully, on his word of honor as an officer and gentleman, that hed hang him. at dawn, : Chimnai, knowing his Garstan of old, called Mahazil, and an- swering to the name' of Mahazil a man came out and was prompt- ly seized. - Yes, Usman Shah had not been mistaken. - : « Now tell Mirza Khan Iskander Khan Juma, son of the Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot, to come out," said Garstan, "and just mention that if there's a rush there will be a volley -- from twenty rifles, And that the sur- vviors, if any, will be hanged in about an hour's.time. And you with 'em." Chimnai, as would any Pathan have done in like circumstances, did his best to save his own hide. And in about five minutes from leaving his quarters Garstan had got the lot of them trussed up. Well, there it was, and Garstan being Garstan, what followed was inevitable.
