what was he to them and they to
him? 1t must be, it must be! They
were brothers. Nature, full of amazing
freaks as she was, had not perpetrated
this one without calling upon a single
strain Of blood
She lay back among her pillows, her
eyes leveled at the few stars beyond
her door, opened to admit any cooling
breeze. Her head ached. 1t was like
the computations of astronomers; to
certain extent the human mind could
grasp the distances but could not COM
prehend them. 1t was more than
chance. Chance alone had not brought
him to the crumbling ledge. There
was a strain of fatalism in Elsa. She
was positive that all these things had
been written long before and that she
was to be used as the key.

had not quite been that, just free from
her school days in Italy. With the
grand air Of youth she had betrayed
the fact almost instantly, while wait

''Italy!" said Arthur's mother, whom
Elsa mentally adopted at once. The

Elsa answered in excellent if formal
Italian. This led from one question to
another. Mrs. Ellison turned out to
be schoolmate of her mothers, and
she, Elsa, had inherited their very
room. What more was needed?
The Ellisons bought the house and
lived quietly within it. Society, and
there was a good deal of it in that
small Kentuckian city, society waited
for them to approach and apply for adj
mittance, but waited in vain. Mrs FL
lison never went anywhere. Her son
Arthur was student and preferred

The two left the cafe veranda and
engaged a pair of rickshaws. AS they
logged down the road, Warrington
stepped out from behind the palms
and modify watched them until the
night swallowed them up. He had not
overheard their interesting converse
ton, nor had he known they were
about until they came down the steps
together. He ached to follow them.
He was in a fine mood for blows. That
there were two of them did not trouble
him. Of one thing he was assured:
Somewhere in the dim past an ances-
tor of his had died in Berserk rage.
He had been watching Elsa It dis
turbed but did not mystify him to see
her talking to the colonel. Table
chance had brought them together,
and perhaps to a better understand
ing. How pale she was! From time
to time he caught the flash of her
eyes as she turned to this or that
guest. Once she smiled, but the smile
did not tighten up her face. He was
very wretched and miserable. She had
taken him at his word, and he should
have been glad. He had seen her but
once again on board, but she had
looked away. 1t was best so. Yet, it
was as if fate had reached down into
his heart and snapped the strings
which made life tuneful.
And tomorrow! What would tomor-
row bring? Would they refuse? Would
they demand the full penalty? Eight

the day. He would ask Mallow for
fifty pounds, and he sincerely hoped
that Mallow would refuse him. For
he was grimly resolved that Mallow
should pay for those half-truths, more
damning than bald lies. 1t was due to
MallOw that he was never more to see
or speak to Elsa. He emptied the ash
from his Guilty which he slowed away.
The great heartache and the great
er disillusion would not have fallen to
his lot had Elsa been frank in Ran
COON, had she but told him that she
was to sail on the same steamer. He
would have put over his sailing. He
would have gone his way, still believ-
ing himself to be a Bayard, Galahad
or any other of those simple dreamers
who put honor and chivalry above and
before all other things.
Elsa! He coveredshis face with his
hands and remained in that position
for long while, so long indeed that
the coolies, whose business it was to
scrub the things every morning at
four, went about their work quietly for
fear Of disturbing him.
Elsa had retired almost immediate
ly after dinner. She endeavored to
finish some initial work on old en-
broideries, but the needle insisted
upon pausing and losing stitch after
stitch. She went to bed and strove to
sleep, but that sweet healer came not
to her wooing. Nothing she did could
overcome the realization of the shock
she had received. It had left her dull
and bewildered.
The name echoed and re-echoed
through her mind: Paul Ellison. It
should have been an illumination: in.
stead, she had been thrust into utter
darkness. Neither Arthur nor his
mother had ever spoken of brother,
and she had known them for nearly
ten years. Two men, who might be
twin brothers, with the same name; 1t
was maddening. What could it mean ?

handsome charming son, who idolized
each other; and this adventurer, this
outcast, this patient, brave and kindly

brought up the heel of his palm
viciously against the Chinaman's chin.
1t was sufficient to break the hold.
Then followed struggle that always
remained nightmarish to Warrington.
Hither and thither across the room,
miraculously avoiding chairs, tables
and bed, they surged. He heard a ring
Of steel upon the cement floor, and
breathed easier to learn that the thief
had dropped his knife. Warrington
never thought to call out for help. The
old fear of bringing people about him
had become a habit. Once, in the
whirl of things, his hand came into
contact with belt which hung about
the others middle. He caught at it
and heaved. 1t broke, and the subse-
quent ztinkling over the floor advised
him of the fact that it was his own
gold. The broken belt, however,
brought the fight to an abrupt end.
The oily body suddenly slipped away.
Warrington beheld a shadow in the
doorway; it doomed there second
against the skyline, and vanished. He
ran to the gallery railing, but it was
too dark below to discern anything.
He returned to his room, breathing
hard, the obnoxious odor of sweat
and fish oil in his nose. He turned on
the lights and without waiting to in
vestigate, went into the shower room
and stood under the tepid deluge.
faint was in the air. The bird was
muttering and turning somersaults.
Thanks, Rajah, old sport! He'd
have got me but for you. Let's see
the damage"
He picked up the belt. The paper
money was intact, and what gold had
fallen he could easily find. He then
took up his vest and dropped
it, stunned. The letter of credit for
half his fortune was gone. He sank
back upon the bed and stared miser-
ably at the fallen garment. Gone!
Fifty thousand dollars. Someone who
knew! Presently he stood up and
tugged at his beard After all, why
should he worry? A cable to Rangoon
would stop payments. A new letter
could be issued. 1t would take time,
but he had plenty of that.
Idly ne reached for the broken cigar
that lay at the foot of the bed. He
would have tossed it aside as one of
his own had not the carnelian band
attracted his attention. He hadn't
smoked that quality of tobacco in
years. He turned it over and over,
and it grew more and more familiar

thousand with interest was a small
sum to such a corporation. He had
often wondered if they had searched
for him. Ten years. In the midst of
these cOgitations he saw the group at
the table rise and break up. Elsa en-
tered the hotel. Warrington turned
away and walked aimlessly toward
town. For hours he wandered about.
seeing nothing, hearing nothing; and
it was long past midnight when he
sought his room, restless and weary
but wide awake. He called for stiff
peg, drank it, and tumbled into bed.
He was whirled away into broken
dreams. He was in the Andes, toiling
with his Orders over unspeakable
chasms. A shifting glance at the old
billiard room in the club, the letter,

Even in his dream he recognized that

bed and dashed to the door which led
to the gallery. A body thudded
against his. He caught hold. The

CHAPTER XVI.
Who Is Paul Ellison?

For some time Warrington sat upon
the edge of the bed and studied the
cigar, balanced it upon his palm, as if
striving to weigh accurately Mallows
part in a scrimmage like this. The
copra grower assuredly would be the
last man to give a cigar to a China
man. Mallow, rich, was Mallow dis
posed of, at least logically; unless IN
deed it was a bit of anticipatory re-
prisal. That might possibly be. A
drunken Mallow was capable of much,
for all that his knowledge of letters of
credit might necessarily be primitive.
Yet MalloW was no fool. He would
scarcely take such a risk for so I'M
stable and chancely thing as revenge
OF this order. Craig? He hadn't the
courage. Strong and muscular as he
was, he was the average type of
gambler, courageous only when armed
with a pack Of cards, sitting opposite
a fool and his money. But Craig and
MallOW together. D.. O.. He slipped
off the label It was worth preserv-
ing.
With an unpleasant laugh he began
to get into his clothes. Why not? The
more he thought of it, the more he
was positive that the two had been be-
hind this assault. The belt would
have meant good deal to Craig.
There were a thousand Chinese in
Singapore who would cut a mans
throat for a Straits dollar. Either NAL
low or Craig had seen him counting
the money on shipboard.
He looked at his watch; quarter
after two. If they were not in their
rooms he would have good grounds for
his suspicious. He stole along the gal
lery and down the stairs to the Office,
just in time to See the two enter, much
the worse for drink Mallow was
boisterous, and Craig was sullen. The
former began to argue with the night
manager, who politely shook his head.
Mallow grew insistent, but the night
manager refused to break the rules
of the hotel. Warrington inferred that
Mallow was demanding liquor, and his
inference was correct. He moved
little closer, still hidden behind the
potted palms.
"All right" cried Mallow. We'll go
back to town for it."
1--WE had enough" declared Craig
sullenly. Lets cut out booze and play
a little hand or two"
"Fine!" Mallow slapped his thigh
as he laughed. mice bird I'd be for
you to pluck. Think of something
else. The billiard hall is open"
Craig shook his head. When Mallow
was argumentative it was no time to
play billiards.
'Bah!" snarled Mallow. "Since you
won't drink like man nor play bill
lizards, I'm for bed. And just as the
fun was beginning!"
Craig nudged him warningly. NAL
low stalked away, and Craig, realizing
that the night was done, followed.
Warrington had seen and heard
enough. He was tolerably sure 1t
might have been out of pure deviltry,
SO far as Mallow was concerned; but
Craig had joined in hope of definite
profits. A fine pair of rogues!
He eyed indecisively the stairs and
then glanced toward'the brilliant night
outside. 1t would not be possible to
sleep in that room again. So he tip
toed out to the cafe veranda and
dropped into comfortable chair. He
would hunt them up some time during

He trotted back to his rickshaw,
wiped the blood from his face, put on
his hat and coat, and ordered the re-
