IN THE HANDS OF TIE ENEMi L
N UNKNOWN peril is one thing;
"A the actual spectacle of bloody
murder is quite another.
The incident Of the Chinaman with the
dagger, the old mans gasping cry, 1T
is the signal of deathr and his panic
stricken rush to escape; the place. the
conditions, the sudden cutting off Of the
lights-all these reviving memories Of
the dark stories be had heard concern
lng Chinatown had aroused Tom s
gravest apprehensions and spurred him
TO hasty action.
But when he saw I'm the flare from
the burning matches this actual deco of
violence he stood aghast, incapable Of
word or movement
He had never seen death come to
a human being before, and this in its
CHASTITY sUddeness turned him cold with
a sick horror.
The old man staggered under the sure,
downward stroke of the knife. gave a
moan of despair and collapsed Imply TO
the floor.
His assailant. however, was evidently
determined to take no chances. Again
the cleaning knlfe-Dlade was lifted,
showing wet and dripping new in the
red blaze of the burning matches; again
it was sent home with the dull, impact
of steel against flesh.
Glued to the spot, shocked, speIlbound,
the young fellow for the moment only
stared at the grisly tragedy. He was
unable TO stir hand or foot to prevent
its contamination, or even now to drag
the murderer from the prone body Of
his victim and hold him for justice. a
leaden torpOr seemed 70 hold him in

Moore had thrown-a silence broken

wrestled with his unwilling captive.
Not a cry had been uttered in the

at t:le sudden turn of events to use
their voices.
But now the stiffness was shattered
by wOmau's long, shuddering scream.
'EIeip helpi' shrieked the girl who
was holding the lighted matches.
'Murderi HelpI' And in her hyster-
ical excitement she too cast away her
impromptu torch as Moore had done be-
fore her. once more all was black.
Her shrieks, however, reused Tom
from the stupOr of inacticn which par
alyzed him. Almost insunctively, he
raised to his lips the little silver whistle
he , ad held clutched in his hand all
the lime, and blew a half dozen shrill
blasts at the same time springing for
ward TO where he had seen the slayer
bending over his victim.
AS he plunged ahead. collidiug with
tables and stools in his progress, he
was cheered by hearing answering
whistles from the street. and rush
