the internal instrument and began o.
tentatiously to turn the irons, and
when he thought they were sufficiently
heated hejwithdrew them from the fire

gloom. And once more Isaw the fatal
sign, but this time red hot, and already

was not yet come, for the man return
ed the irons to the fire and then, like Q
shadow, stole softly to the door.
With eager eyes 1 watched him dis
appear In the gloom, and presently
came the sound of the door being shut,
but of sudden, mingling with 1t, was
another sound and one which puzzled
me considerably. Like a sob It SEEM
cd, groan almost. Then the stiffness
of death followed, and my eyes wan
dered back to the glowing brazier
which wrought strange lights and
shadows In the darkness, but my ears
were listening Mt the door.
what was that?" whispered Jim.
Heaven knows"
But after waiting for few moments
longer another shadow slipped through
the darkness and came toward US. At
first thought it was the wretch re-
turned again, but suddenly voice
came to us through the gloom:

OF that voyage down the great river
have nothing startling to relate. OF
course there were many alarms. for we
feared greatly that Wooching or some
other member of the diabolical associa-
tion would give chase. but fortunately
such did not transpire. and except for
the Inconvenience of such method Of
travelling we encountered nothing
which happily we were not able to sur
mount. Many an anxious glance was

Mr.. james Smith, ex-embassador of

sabbee what to do. But no t'ink dan
ger now"
We passed from the room. leaving
Kung stretched upon the floor, the f.
tai sign which he had 30 often used
stamped indelibly upon his forehead.
Closing the door behind us and duly
locking 1t, we entered another chamber
and once more saw the light Of day
struggling to pierce through an Ill de-
fined window. Yon Immediately went
to the door and. opening 1t. peered out.
"All Clear" he said. Come"
We needed no second bidding. Pass
Ing through the door. we found our.
selves In little garden. which we trav-
ersed with all speed. Yon made for q
clump Of trees some 200 yards away.
and Notwithstanding our enfeebled con-
dition think we cleared that open
space In fairly good time.
Entering the shelter. we stopped to
breathe, and turned back to look at
the place which had been our prison
and which but for Yon would have
been our grave.
The pagoda, old, dilapidated, stood
on the brow Of q considerable emil
hence. and the cottage from which we
had escaped, an abode Of the poorest
description. nestled In an indentation
some 30 or 90 yards from the base OF
the pagoda. One would never associ-
ate the two. and as these old pagodas
are usually incrusted with reyerential
superstition 1t is highly probable that
any one alighting on Chlng-hi would
keep respectful distance from the
venerable structure. In this way Kung
could surely count on immunity from
prying eyes.
Yon gave us respite OF q moment OF
two and then led us onward through
the trees. His face was now ghastly In
Its paleness, and Notwithstanding a
brooding determination OF the brows
his jaws clattered nervously together.
He seemed fully to realize what he had
done. and terror over which he had
no control took possession Of him. But
he led us on quickly. surely. and
knew that his anxiety to get away
from the island would insure US as far
as lay within his power quick and a
safe retreat. go.
Presently from q thick clump of
shrubs we emerged upon the river. and
a few PAGES farther on, hidden among
some tall PUSHES, was q sampan. All

He unmoored the boat and drew II
