it was. The papers lay there at the
side of the road, where Orme had
tossed them a moment before the two
cars met.
There had been no other way to
dispose of them. If the car from the
north had stopped at different angle
or if the other car had not moved, the
light would not have shone upon them,
and the Japanese might not have sus
pected where they were. Or, if Orme
had tossed them few feet farther to
one side, they would have been out OF
the range of the light. But there they
lay.
Arima leaped toward them. Even
as he started, figure appeared at the
other side of the road and walked to-
ward the cars. 1t was a man with
brass buttons and policeman's he'll
met. He walked with authority, and
he held a stout club in his hand.
Whats goin' on here?" he demand
ed.
Arima stopped in his tracks.
To Orme, at this moment, came the
memory of the girls desire to avoid
publicity Nothing wrong" he said
The policeman stared. I've been
watchin you from over there" he said

injured men were slowly coming back
to their senses.
mot seriously" said Orme.
Wen see about that later" replied
the policeman decidedly.
Orme tried to carry the affair off
boldly. Every moment of delay now
threatened defeat for him. There is

Then Arima's voice said, close to his
ear:
Where the papers?"
The papers!
Japanese character thus brought its
fresh surprise to Orme. Even after
this hard fight, when three of his
friends lay grooming on the ground
when he had in his power the man
who had injured them, who had tenn
porarily bested himself-Arima's chief
thought was still of the papers!
He seemed to have none of the semi
barbarian vengefulness that might
have been expected. He merely wished
the papers-wished them the more des-
perately with every passing moment
The lives of his companions counted
for nothing besides the papers!
"Where?' repeated Arima.
Il haven't them" said Orme. You
ought to know that by this time"
The answer was a torturing pres
sure on Orme's spine. You tell, -
Kissed Arima.
AS the pressure increased Orme's
suffering was so keen that his senses
began to slip away. He was gliding
into a state in which all consciousness
centered hazily around the one sharp
point of pain.
Then, suddenly, he was released.
For a moment he staggered Imply,
but his strength surged back, and he
was able to see how the situation had
changed.
The girl had swung her car in clio
ser to the edge of the grove and nearer
to the struggling figures. Doubtless
she had some idea of helping. But
the effect of the change in the posi-
ton of her car was to permit the
searchlight of the other car to throw
it's bright beam without interruption
down the road. And there, perhaps
so feet to the southwark, cleaned
something white.
The girl could not see it, for her
car was headed north But Arima
saw 1t, and in flash he realized what

CHAPTER XVI.-Continucd.

The Japanese who had brought the
prospectuses from the tonneau now
stepped to Maku's assistance, for
Orme had made a motion of the body
which showed that he was rapidly
losing his patience.
"Queek!"
Still no answer.
Hal" The exclamation had a ring
of triumph ''Mees have UNI" He
nodded toward the car where the girl
still sat
NO" exclaimed Orme vehemently,
she has not"
'Mees have um," repeated Arima.
1--WE hunt We see"
81 tell you she has not" said Orme.
mo believe you" Arima chuckled.
Come. 1uees."
AS Orme twisted himself around, he
was enraged to see the Japanese in
the car seize the girl by the arm and
drag her to the ground. Once on her
feet. she did not resist, but permit
ted herself to be led toward the lit
tie group.
AIluld dGhduCSu d sup ~ AuCCI L1CA'
Give me papers" he said.
81 have no papers" she protested
despairingly.
1--WE search you" said Arima, taking
another step toward her and extend
ing his hands.
1t may be that Arima did not intend
actually to lay hands ON her. His
thought may have been that the threat
would induce Orme to tell where the
papers really were. But the effect
on Orme was to set him ablaze with
anger.
His swift, indignant purpose seemed
to multiply his strength until the lit
tie men who held him were like chill
dren in his hands.
A sudden jerk, and he had pulled
both his arms free. Maku and the
man at his other side were taken COM
pIetely by surprise, and before they
had time to recover themselves, Orme
had thrown his arms around them and
crushed their heads together with
such force that they dropped limp
and unconscious to the ground. They
were out of the fight
At the first sounds of struggle, Arima
turned. Now, as Orme charged to-
ward him, he bent slightly forward,
every muscle tense, ready to strike
or trip or twist.
His framework was overlaid by mus
ches that were like supple steel. Light
and quick, he had a strength that
could hardly have been inferred from
his build. And though Orme's out
break had been sudden, the Japanese
was apparently not in the least dis
concerted.
He knew how to turn the rush of
the American into a disastrous fall.
He knew how to prod with his bony
knuckle the angry mans solar plexus
how to step swiftly aside and bring
the horny edge of his hand against
sensitive vertebrae. He could seize
0rme by the arm and, dropping back
ward to the ground, land Orme where
he wished him. Yes, Arima had eV-

Melancholy Will Be Christmas For
 Poor Of London
Especial from United Press )

London. Dec. 23-A melancholy Christmas is in store for London. Santa Claus will have to spread out his stock of presents very thin. Two hundred thousand homeless wanderers will spend the night before Christmas sleeping on the iron benches in the parks or under bridges-places which Santa Claus seldo mvisits.
 On the day that the entire world is celebrating the glorious festival half a million of the richest city in the world will be bounded by the fear of eviction for inability to pay rent. The ma jority of the very wealthy resi- dents have left London for the holi- days.
 Most of the fashionable residents in stricken children are accustomed to assemble on Christmas morning and trill their carols, are closed. There will be no servants sent out with small coins for the sh1vering ones. People of humber means have given up the task of attempting to bring a days happiness into the lives of those so desperately in need
 The salvation army and the church army will each feed 5000 people on Christmas. Two hundred thousand gifts will be given by friends of the poor. They are marvellous in their variety One dentist has contributed lord has offered small farm.
 The newspapers are helping. The London Daily Grapic will give prac- tical relief to 22,700 persons. The Evening News has bought 10000 dolls which its readers have dressed. poor can be reached.

 The churches and schools have com bined to banish the grand old indis- penser of Christmas cheer. Fifteen hundred tots, who have looked with longing eyes on every picture of San ta Claus displayed in the windows are downcast, today, for scores Of them have been told that there is no Santa Claus and that the greatest Lord Bountiful in the world is a myth and that the stories of his benefac- tions are mere fairy tales.
