scratched at a section of white calf that showed between the lowest ex tremity of a carefully creased trouser- leg and the top of a crumpled sock the strange diagonal slits behind which his eyes had a knack of disap pearing widened presently and he looked across at monica hot isnt it almost too hot to think im glad youve decided to sit up because ive lots of things i want to ask you favored and humpbacked lurked in the background the oriental bent himself nearly double before the eng lish girl good afternoon mrs- viney how dyou do mr pennington- is his excellency the commissioner at home im afraid hes out mr chai- hung she said i came in by the train this after noon he said in a rasping voice i camo to suggest that a little more pennington left the rail and began pacing the verandah his agents are everywhere he ventured presently even his visit this afternoon was carefully calculat ed so that he should run no risk of encountering your brother on his way ho knew that hewitt was lunching with the governor at sandakan he is undoubtedly aware that the commis sioner is returning with the warrant for the arrest of our friend chai- hung then that is why that is why he is going away for an indefinite period monicas forehead wrinkled oughtnt you to do something pennington smiled grimly chaihung is being watched night and day monica uttered a deep sigh of con tentment i dont see that theres much to bother about then youre bound to get him youd think so wouldnt you i used to think so once but that was when i allowed myself to be car ried away by youthful enthusiasm theres something about chaihung police vigilance might be exerted in 2 thmgsmrs viney dhu which my estete lies there are heaps of things i don tj unpleasant inciicnt oecurre there last night mr alliston an assistant on a local plantation was the victim understand she dont you arrest mr chaihun you think we ought to why of course you know him to be the leader of chinese opinion on the island you know him to be cunning unscrupulous capable of anything i cant see why jackl bothers himself to scour the country- j side for chaihungs puppets when a of what i believe you call a gang i murder penningtons

began rolling a fresh cigaret monica mr chaihung but id always re- watched him impatiently she found garded your territory free from this that baffles one at every turn hes a pastmaster of cunning an enthusi astic student of every diabolical crime in existence but beyond all that hes it appears he was the bearer of k nation- a sort of considerable sum of money with i secondsight that borders on the sup- it difficult to associate in her mind the two penningtons the youthful immaculate idler who ornamented her brothers bungalow leading an appar ently purposeless existence and the gaunt lean scarecrow who a master of dialects and disguise wandered undetected from drinkinghouse to opiumden from marketplace to campfire hounding out the spreaders of a sedition that disturbed the peace of the handful of white settlers that dwelt on these fringes of civilization im afraid you have to blame me for that mrs viney he said slowly- you see things arent always as easy as they seem chaihung is still the most respected chinaman in borneo im prepared to admit that there was a time when things looked black against him it seemed incred ible that he should be able to find a way out but he did among a legion of worshipping followers it was by no means difficult for him to discover a scapegoat ifcrica sat up but the yellow seven she persist ed excitedly nothing can explain away that pennington spread out his hands i know he agreed in almost every outrage committed that yellow- card with its seven black dots has been traced but what does it go to prove after all merely that the per petrator belonged to a society or cult among which this symbol exercises a significance it proves nothing against chaihung but you know of course i know- you know and so docs your brother but its up to us to prove our case its up to me to catch chaihung redhanded with the cards in his possession have you ever seen lalang mrs viney its a add to the joy of the open road this pleasure giving

was because you were there for a fraction of a second the eyes of chaihung flashed fire the chinaman produced an envel ope from his tunic pocket perhaps you would bo kind enough to hand this to captain hewitt it was found near the sccno of the tra gedy pennington took the envelope i take it that the crime was enact ed within reasonable distance of your house mr chaihung unpleasantly so and this clue was discovered by one of your men it was found by me pennington screwed up his eyes thats interesting he said softly i wonder if you could manage to pass this way again say tomorrow morn ing about ten chaihung shook his head slowly- im afraid that would be utterly impossible going away inquired pennington casually tho corners of the chinamans mouth twiched i may possibly be absent from my residence for nn indefinite period he announced loftily i shall be obliged if you will inform his excel lency tho commissioner that one of my secretaries will attend to any corres pondence he miy tbiik necessary he turned abruptly and made his way toward the dusty road a hun dred yards below well demanded monien eagerly as soon as the celestial and his hunch backed satellite were out of earshot pennington leaned back against the wooden rail its perfectly amazing he admit ted im dashed sorry for poor alli son of course but its the main issue that interests mo at this moment look nt

birds this little war bler with his wonderful imitation of i other birds and of many animals gives morep leasure to those within range of his voice than other mem bers of the feathered tribe to the farmer too he is of great benefit since like tho robin he feeds largely on insects in cuba we have a vine of fine delicate leaves and small yellow flow ers that will quickly cover a wire fence with a mantle of green the vine is called the cundeamor the cradle or giver of love while its fruit is of an odd shape the size of a french walnut and in color a vivid orango the seed of this fruit is to the mockingbird the most tempting of all food so that if one cares for the company of these makers of sweet music it is well to plant cundcamj or alongside his fences not only does this wonderful little
