The second time that Philip Newton
and his young assistant set forth to
capture the junk which they believed
20 be stealing merchandise from the
dig Shanghai warehouse Of Gordon &
90. they set forth up the river in a
little sampan. Their steam launch had
been sunk IN a previous encounter
with the robbers.
They had barely launched them
selves on the river when the sampan
was run down IN the darkness and
they both lost consciousness.
When Philip opened his eyes he
stared about him. Through some crew

There was not another article In the
room-just the four walls and the
painted idols.
There was not a door or a window
that was visible, yet the air was fresh
and sweet, and as bis eyes became ac-
custOmed to the gloom Philip noted
that from some quarter there was diff
fused a modieum Of light into what
would otherwise have been pitchy
blackness.
The ray Of sunlight shot aslant from
a tiny crack In the angle Of the ceiling,
and something told Philip that above
him were growing grass and warm sun
shine and singing birds, and yet in the
room was a deathlike silence save for
Peters breathing. the silence Of death.
At that instant Peter groaned and
opened his eyes with wonderment.
Philip let the boy become accustomed
20 the strange quarters In which they
found themselves before he spoke.
In a few minutes they were SUN
ciently recovered to discuss the hap.
penlngs on the sampan.
Slowly he made n tour Of the subter-
ranean chamber, examining the idols
In their hooks and seeking for some
venue Of escape.
Exit there must be from some quar-.
ter. although the smooth polished walls
showed no break or opening that was
not firmly cemented.
He had reached the corner OF the
room farthest from where he and Pc

exclamation caused him to turn quickly.
AS he faced about he felt a cold rush

echoed a faint, shrill cry. Then there
came the sound of bare running feet
and the neal painting Of breathless men.
Several forms shot past them In the
darkness, 30 closely that their looee

Americans.
The running feet did not pause. They

Peter eagerly.
"Not now. We will have to 60 It in

them was a dark blue sky, thick with
golden stars.

One Of the most eflcacious cures for
fatigue from overwork consists In
walking barefoot In sand. The nerves
OF the sole and heel are slightly irri-
tated by coming in contact with the
grains and accelerate the circulation
Of the blood in all parts Of the body.
The effect produced is highly invigor-
ating. Besides this, the monotony Of

cises a soporihc effect on the brain
