TRAFFIC TO

Travel from the Orient to Honolulu
and San Francisco is heavier this
summer than in many years, as an in
direct result of the European war,
and its ramifications in the Far East.
This is the opinion of Purser C. M.

last evening from San Francisco,
bringing u passengers to this city, in

turning from vacations passed in Cali

others who usually go to England

today HTne Suez canal has been put
out of business, so far as passenger
steamers are concerned, by the Euro

she asked, scarcely able to believe
what her ears heard.
WI merely nodded, and with wave
of his hand to Long Sin indicated that
Elaine was to be released.
She nerved herself to take several
steps toward the door. She had
scarcely crossed half the room.
"Wait!" ordered WI sharply.
Was he merely torturing her, as

stopped obediently, afraid to look at
him.

1 don't think that in all our friend
ship have ever seen Kennedy so ut
terly depressed as he was when we
returned after the discovery of the
vast fortune which Bennett had clev-
erly secreted.
There seemed to be absolutely moth
ing to do until some new clue turned
up. I placed my hand on his shoulder,
but the words that would encourage
him died on my lips. Several times l
started to speak, but each time l
checked myself. There did not seem
to be anything that would be appro-
pirate for such an occasion.
A sharp ring at the telephone made
both of us fairly jump, SO nervous
had we become. Kennedy reached
over instantly for the instrument in
the vague hope that at last there was
some news.
AS I watched his face it changed
first from despair to wonder, and final
ly it seemed to light up with the most
remarkable look of relief and happi-
ness that one could imagine.

hook, and in the same motion reach

time to follow him, and we dashed out
of the laboratory.

/ saw faces about me, but I did not
see the faces which were actually out
by our hall door. WI Fang and Long
Sin had waited patiently for their re-
venge. Now that they thought sufi-
Gent time had elapsed, they had sto-
len silently to the apartment door.
While Ling Sin watched. WI listened.
''The white devil has it." whispered
WI Fang, as he rejoined his fellow
conspirator.
How long I should have remained
in this state, and in fact how long
did remain, don't know. Vaguely, l
recall that our acquaintance, Johnson,
who had the apartment across the
hall, at last heard my cries and came
in.
Somehow or other knew the state
I was in. I knew it was Johnson, yet
it all seemed unreal to me. With a
great effort I gathered all my scat
tered wits and managed to shout out,
Telegraph Kennedy-Rockledge."
At about the same time, up at Rock
ledge, Kennedy and Elaine, with her
cousin, Mary Brown, were starting out
for a horseback ride through the hills.
They we're chatting gayly, but Ken
nedy was forcing himself to do so.
In fact, they had scarcely gone half
a mile when Kennedy, who was rid
ing between the two and fighting off
by sheer nerve the illness he felt, sud-
denly fell over in half a faint on the

Just then, outside, Doctor Godow-

swinging his black bag. Not being &C
quainted with what we were going
through, Godowsh did not notice the
almond-eyed Chinaman who was
watching down the street.
'eHow do you do, doctor?" greeted
Craig family, at the door.
'*What seems to be the diffculty?"
inquired the doctor eagerly.

"but have my suspicious. I'm too i'll

added.

finished with me.

Brown, who, lived at Rockledge, had
come into the city to comfort Aunt
Josephine, and they had been sitting
that morning in the library.
Suddenly a startled cry from Jen-

dies to jump to their feet. They could
scarcely believe what they heard as
the faithful old butler cried out The
name.
"Why, Miss Elaine!'' he gasped
An instant later Elaine herself burst
into the room and flung herself into
Aunt Josephine's arms. All talking
and half crying from JOY at once, they
crowded about her.
In the excitement Aunt Josephine
had seized the telephone and called
our number. She did not even wait to
break the good news, but handed the
telephone to Elaine herself.

The message seemed to rouse Ken

showed keen alarm, which he endeav
orded to conceal from Elaine. But her
quick eye had caught the look.
II must see Walter he exclaimed,
rising rather weakly and going into
the house.
How he ever did it is still, think, a
mystery to him, but he managed to
pack up and, in spite of the alternating
fever and chills, make the journey
back to the city.
When at last Craig arrived at our

<'Here-look-on this paper he
cried. From the telephone-"~
He had risen and was handing the
paper to the scientist when his weak
ness overcame him. He fell fat on his
face on the floor and dropped the pa
per, spilling the contents.
Godowski, now thoroughly alarmed,
bent over Craig. But the delirium
had overcome Kennedy, too.
Unable to make any sense out of
Craig's broken wanderings, Godowski
lost no time in taking samples of our
blood.
Then he hurried away to his labora-
tory IN his car. AS he did so, however,
Long Sin leaped into taxicab which
was waiting, and followed.
In Godowskis laboratory, where he
was studying tropical diseases, the
bacterlologist set to work at once to
confirm his own growing suspicious.
From a monkey which he had there
for experimental purposes, he drew off
some blood samples. Then, with the
aid of his assistant. he took the blood
samples he had obtained from
us. The monkeys blood, under the
microscope, seemed full of rather
elongated, wriggling germs, of a Pc
culiar species. In and out they made
their way among the blood corpuscles,
each like dart aimed at life itself.
Then he took the samples of our
blood. In them were the same germs
carried by that gruesome tick!
'The spirillum!" he muttered. "They
are infected with African recurrent
fever. The only remedy is atoxyl, ad-
ministered intravenously, after the
manner of Professor Ehrlichs famous
$685."
Godowski had rung the call box has
tily for messenger, when Long Sin,
who had managed stealthily to creep
up to the doctors laboratory window,
scowled through at the action-then
moved away
While his assistant gathered the ap-
paratus, the doctor wrote:

GODOWSkI, M. d.
The boy arrived finally and the doc
tor gave him a generous tip, to hurry
with the note.
He had turned the corner, however,
when Long Sin appeared. Subtly he
played on the boys cupidity to get
him to deliver a note of his own
even offered to deliver the boys note
for him. The flash of five dollar bill
made the rest easy.
AS the boy disappeared on a fake
errand, Long Sin, with the real note,
| hurried downtown, smiling wickedly.
"They have discovered the fever,
| master" he reported in the den.
WI was beside himself with rage.
Before he could speak, however, Long
Sin spread out Godowski's message.
But l have this he added.
It took merely a glance to suggest
