 So they stood hesitant for a few sec onds. A panel slipped open in the wall and a womans face appeared for on instant |. Swift as the Chinawoman was. the pS.Ice officer was quicker and he plunged through the shallow panel, with Dorr at his shoulder
 once through they paused in the sem.darkness tO Orlentate themselves. Finally the lieutenant stepped forward. "rhis way" be said "I hear voices"
 At that very moment there came up Go them am mearthly scream, a shriek of pure terror
 "Ruthr John yelled, and he and the officer both plunged forward.
 Instead of the firm footing they ex- pected empty air received them. Twen- ty feet below they struck the water.
 Spluttering and swearing, the police man helped Dorr to a little ledge that ran alongside the tunnel
 "The miserable Chink dropped us into the big sewer" he gasped Ut runs into the bay just a little ways on We'll have Co swim for It. part rer"
 Dorr looked down at his arm and shook bis head Isn't that a boat over thereg he demanded pointing into the shadow.
 Blamed if it aln't," said the Heuten- ant much relieved Wen soon be | out of here'
 In spite of his wound Dorr insisted on rowing. and the officer philOsOph- | ically allowed him to, seating himself | gingerly in the stern of tbe little craft | and lending 1t off the brick walls of 1 the tunnel with his hands as the swift current drew them onward l To John the whole affair seemed like | a dream. He saw the great dripping arches sliding past overhead to join the long vista of arches that bridged the gIimmering water which splashed l gently along to the call of the tide; he saw the dark bulk of the lieutenant in the stern; he felt the pain of his wound; he still heard Ruths wild call for help. But it was all unrelated, as if each were a fact by itself. isolated He struggled to gather his senses together.
 Look out" shouted the policeman suddenly as the great half cylinder curved sharply and a blast of fresh air struck them Wen be swept out into the bay! Keep the boat trim"
 Awakened by this warning John de- voted himself to his oars and half moment later steered their little craft out under the piles of a wharf
 Where tO nowE' be demanded duly.
 The lieutenant pointed a thick fore finger toward another small boat few rods away There is Sing Wan now. by smoker he exclaimed
 John Dorr glanced around He first saw the impussive visagg of the Chi ! nese and then the figure crouched in the stern sheets It was Ruth He Hearing that call from her mate, the girl reused herself and cried back across the water: John! John."
 At this point the police officer took part with a stern order to Sing Wah to stop rowing and surrender He em- phasized this command by covering the Chinese with his revolver.
 Sing Wah was of no mind to be caught in this way. With a dexterous sweep of the oars he swirled his little skin around so that Ruth was between him and the other boat, and he never ceased to pull doggedy away.
 'Youye got to TOW, son, said the lieutenant grimly MT Sing Wan doesn't intend to be caught so easily. | daren't shoot for fear of hitting the girl"
 John saw the reasonableness of this and bent to his oars without regard 10 his wound The boat surged through the water after the other
 With a good lead of a hundred yards Sing Wah stood a fair show of gaining his object-a landing under some wharf and a quiet escape He knew that if he were to fall into the hands of the police under the present cir cumstauces he would be treated mer- cilessly He rowed furiOusly
 But the Chinese had long since ceas- ed active life and his muscles were soft. John Dorr steadily gained on him. Slowly be crept up. foot by foot. inch by inch. his eyes fixed on the steady figure of the officer in the stern
 At last he caught encouragement from the policeman's face.

Now, Sing Wah was a true oriental. , 1t showed in his swift drawing of knife and a swifter slash at John Dorr's arm But be was too late With am marticuIate roar of rage John flung , the knife overheard and then flung its owner after it
