and it dawned upon him with some

his own crime. Discovering that his
movements We're being followed. Blake
had undoubtedly slipped the incrim-
mating evidence into Jacks desk and
had now turned the young man loose
with the Golden Buddha in his posses
sion, TO be bounced upon by the spies
and probably murdered The gates of
the ancient native city swallow up
many a victim.
All at once Jack started forward on
a run to overtake the spies. He would
give them the bag containing the
Buddha and bride them into momen
tary blindness while he made his es-
cape When he came suddenly upon
them they were as diligently pursu-
ing another person, and that person
was Mr.. James Blake, whose dapper
person was walking with nervous
haste toward the rendezvous he had
named to Jack
Jack reached the spies and thrust
the bag into the hand of the nearest.
The man laughed in his face and toss
ed the bag contemptuously back, point
ing at Jimmy Blake as he did so. Then
the three spies outdistanced him, and
/ Jack was left gaping after them.
/ He opened the bag and saw for the
first time what the spies already guess
ed. The blue cloth wrapped box that
/ had contained the Buddha was there
but it was empty. James Blake, ter
rifed for his own safety, was proba
bly, trying to pass the precious image
to some confederate for safe keeping
until after the government had beef
placated by the sacrifice of a victim
Jack was to be the victim. Now be
understood. and he shuddered TO

He threw aside the bag and turned
to retrace his steps toward home. Al
ut once a cry rang through the streets
followed by a great silence, and b,
shuddered.

A little after o'clock one afternoon
Jack Gordon looked up from his desk
In the Shanghai banking house of
Blent & Co. and met the weasel eyes
of Jimmy Blake fastened upon him.
James Patrick Blake was the audi
tor and in his own opinion quite per-
sonage. To his subordinates in the
Office he was merely "old jimmy
with whom they had played from
childhood and whom they unmerciful-
ly licked at all out of door sports
when office hours We're over.
Mr.. Blake lifted a delicate forefin-
ger and beckoned to young Gordon.
Come into my office" he said CURLY.
Are you speaking to me?" demand
ed Jack haughtily.
Jimmy nodded and turned into the
little partitioned room which bore his
name on the door.
The eyes of his fellow clerks follow
ed Jacks tall, young figure until the
door closed behind him, and a mean
ing glance went the round of desks,
and, although not a sound was utter
ed, the room seemed to echo with the
words:
"Beastly little cad, Blake!"
Inside the office Jimmy Blake sat
before his polished mahogany desk
twirling a fan in his white hands. He
glanced with narrowed eyes at Jack,
who stood back against the door
what about that package in your
desk, Jack?" he asked abruptly.
Jack stared. what package"

"None whatever"

were followed to the bank here and

Jimmy Blake lifted his scanty eye

his little eyes, would seem to have
passed the insult

On Friday night gentlemen 5 night
was observed by the Putney Grange
The unique dress which the gentlemen
made and recommended to the ladies
was in class by itself 1t was verv
economical dress and particularly prac-
teal, every part having use, aside
from the use of a dress proper. When
sleeves can be made to pun down over
the hands in place of gloves and may
be used for pocket handkerchief they
certainly are useful. A skirt made of
meal bag with a panel effect front
and back, which is so constructed as to
carry a full set of articles such as
brush and comb, whisk brush. boot
brush, etc, certainly proves its utility.
The ladies who braved the rain TO be
