and wide-eyed near the door, while
Brockett interrogated the badly dam
aged YazimCto.
Seems TO me. Mr.. Yazimoto." ."
Brockett began. that you owe me
quite an explanation. What's the
meaning OF all this excitement, any
how?"
Mr. Yazimoto looked up at his Jail
er, and then at his fellow-captive-
dark little man, as plainly Oriental
as Yazimoto himself, but as plainly
neither a Japanese nor Chinaman.
Then a smile. really pleasant, amia-
bic smile. oyerspread his bruised
visage.
Il make mistake, Mr. Brockett.
Most misfortunate error. | plan hon
orably well, but this boy, this small
fellow. disarrange plans excellently
executed"
"Surest thing you know. PAL" ap-
proved Mike McKane. gleefully. I'm
the disarranging kid when l get start

Il had suppose" Mr.. Yazimoto
went on, that there was excellent
chance that you might step from
doorway during evening. You did so,
with eXactitude. With the honorable
assistance Of my friend-we not neces-
state to mention his name-I strike
you, not serious, not with brutalness.
There was not, | honorably assure

unfortunate inconvenience. trust
you will accord me the honor OF frank
belief"
Why, with pleasure, Mr. Yazimo-
to-" laughed Brockett. GO on with
your story"
Mr.. Yazimoto smiled amicably again.
Il take, as you say in honorable dis
course, the long chance. Also l do
| hear your collegianS speak thus
the rough stuff that | may accom-
plish the honorable purpose. You un-
derstand, | have nothing OF doubt, my
wish. | must accomplish what | am
required TO do
Il understand you perfectly, Mr..
L
documents from my pocket. and
thought they would doubtless be in
that pocket when | stepped out into
the dark"
You speak of perfect knowledge.
Mr.. BroCkett. SO We make you in
the unconscious condition, using no
force greater than essential. But be-
fore We can take what We required
from your pockets, We are attacked.
We are overpowered. |. myself, am
expert in the jiu jutsu. but while
am occupied seeking for your pocket
this boy, this young Samurai, for he
most honorably great as fighting
man, spring upon me, seize me by the
ankles, and throw me PROSTATE, so
that the ju jitsu cannot aid me-"
Mike McKane gurgled gleefully.
That's one trick youse overlooked,
Mr. YazZy," he chuckled. You get
guy round the ankles, an give him
one jerk-why, say, baby could
throw Jack Johnson. One kid in New
York did sling Jack Johnson that way,
a little newsboy-aw. say, 'scuse me,
Harry. I'm hornin in on yer game" "
Mr.. Yazimoto eyed the stocky mes
senger not at all resentfully.

this assault of the boy, Mr.. Brockett-
then you return TO sensibleness, and
am with great speediness defeated"
How about your friend, Mr.. YAH

seem TO have any jiu jitsu ready for
me. followed Mickey through the
door; your partner tried TO stop me,
and one good kick brought him down
in a heap. Couldn't you have picked
a better helper"
Mr.. YaZimoto looked rather ruefully
upon his associate, who had not
opened his mouth since entering the
house. and was simply nursing his
bruises.

not what you would say of expertness
IN personal tuNOuHltI. w lln lAlt DOiO,
possibly, he should do admirably well.
but he has not OF sufficient skill for
honorable battle"
He's no Jap, all right" commented
Mike McKane, studying the silent pris-
oner.
NO. Not of Nippon exclaimed Mr..
Yazimoto. "He is OF long. long dura-
ton my friend. however, and for many
reasons he is in accompaniment with
me this evening"
Filipino, should Judge" re-
marked Solano. Let me talk 70 him. -
The Cuban spoke briefly but emphatic
ally In Spanish, and the prisoner re-
turned a short and equally emphatic
answer. Solano looked somewhat crest
fallen as he translated.
He says" interpreted the Cuban
youngster, that he has no informa-
ton to give me; that Mr.. Yazimoto
can do all the talking necessary. and
that | am a renegade and a dog to
be mixed up with Yankee pigs"
There was general laugh. in which
Mr.. Yazimoto Joined as heartily as

at Brockett with quizzical air.
