Savetsky did not lose a jot Of her re-

Long Sin.
To my utter amazement, l recog-
nized Kennedy's voice.
In the first onslaught Craig shot one
Chinaman dead. then closed with the
others, slashing right and left with the
Chinese knife he had picked up.
Bennett came to his aid. but was
Immediately overcome by two China
men, who evidently had been detailed
for that purpose.
Meanwhile Kennedy and the others
were engaged in q terrible life and
death struggle.
Finally, Long Sin, selling a large
wall-hanging. leaped upon Kennedy
from the back and threw 1t over his
head, almost suffocating him.
1t was Just as the Chinese was about
to overpower him that I led the po-
lice and detectives through the pas
sageway Of the fireplace.
It was a glorious fight that followed.
But Long Sin and his Cinnamon were
no match for the police and were soon
completely routed, the police striking
furiously in all directions and clearing
the room.
Instantly Kennedy thought of the
fair object Of all this melee. He
rushed to the divan on which he had
placed Elaine.
As she opened her eyes for an in
slant she gazed at Craig, then at Ben
nett. Still not comprehending just
what had happened. she gave her hand
to Bennett. Bennett lifted her to her
feet and slowly assisted her as she
tried to walk away.
Kennedy watched them, more stupe-
fed than II he had been struck over
