CHINESE HIDDEN IN SACKS
Thriving Smuggling Business Cut
Short by Arrest of Man
for Speeding.

Portland. Ore.-Harry E. Brock of
Seattle, who was arrested recently
while driving an unlicensed automo-
bile carrying two Chinese concealed
in canvas sacks, confessed that he has
been engaged in a thriving Chinese
smuggling business for seven months
and that for each subject brought into
the United States from Canada he
received $500.
Brock was delivering the Chinese
to the Hop Yick Co company of Port
land. Ching Chong Kee, a merchant
of Vancouver, B. c., was the Canadian
agent in the deal
Brock said he picked up the Chinese
seven miles north of the international
boundary line Saturday night walked
them ten miles and used his automo-
bile from Blaine the remainder of the
distance.

She nerved herself to take several
steps toward the door. She had

but the words that would encourage

to be anything that would be appro-

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.

There was something peculiar about it
and he picked up blank sheet OF
white paper, dusting off the diphragm
| on it. There, on the paper, were in
Vulnerable little black specks.
Just then, outside, Doctor Godow-
skis car drew up and he jumped out,
swinging his black bag. Not being ac-
quainted with what we were going
through, Godowski did not notice the
almond-eyed Chinaman who was
watching down the street
"How do you do, doctor?" greeted
Craig family, at the door
What seems to be the difficulty?"
inquired the doctor eagerly.
II don't know" returned Craig,
but l have my suspicious. I'm too ill
to verify them myself so I've called
on you. Look at Jameson first" he
added
While Godowski was examining me,
Craig managed to get out his micro
scope and was looking through it at
the strange black specks on the pa
per. There, under the lens, he could
see the most remarkable, almost mi
croscopic creature, all legs and feel
ers, a most vicious object
Weak though he was, he could not
help an exclamation of exultation at
his discovery, just as Godowski had
finished with me-
Look" he cried, calling the doctor.

c1tement of the Journey and the eXer-

.'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 fiat 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 a taxicab which
was waiting, and followed.
in Godowski's laboratory, where he
was studying tropical diseases, the
bacteriologist 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 Ehrlich's 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 note of his own
even offered to deliver the boys note
for him. The fash of five dollar bill
made the rest easy.
As the boy disappeared on 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.
1t took merely glance to suggest
to WI new plan of action. He rose
and moved quickly into the back room.
