On this special night the Ratchet

who stood beside him night and day
ran sharp dagger into his heart. Sc
often had the devil done this that the
spot was very sore.
All night he journeyed, sleeping and
waking. and at early dawn came to
the city where lived Billy Wing.
There were few Chinese in the
place. and Lee easily found Billys
laundry. Entering. he made the
opium smuggler's sign to the propri

The hatchet-boy ran an experienced

the kill and the getaway. All, yes,

could shed his false queue, shift his
clothes, and slip out of town on a
freight like a common American
ramp.
AS he started out of the door. a
little Chinese boy slipped in. The
devil stabbed Lee sharply in the sore
spot, for the lad was about five, lust
the age his own son had been. The
hatchet-man's heart warmed toward
him, and he turned back. Billy was
upbraiding the child for being late

Where have you been so long?"
With a buffet he sent him reelinr

himself up without whimper, and dis.

his head. Lees fingers drew up
toward something in his sleeve. He
wished 1t were ten o'clock at night
