He hung up the receiver. Come,

While we hurried downtown the po-
lice were being detailed for the raid
and the patrol wagon was still wait
ing for the squad
We drove up in a taxicab just as the
wagon swung around the corner. AL

WI Fang had already plugged in
the six receivers of the detectaphone
and, though we did not know it, was
eagerly listening with the others down
in the cellar as Kennedy gave his
orders for the raid.
"Tom," muttered WI, you must get
down there at once"
Inez and Long Sin had scarcely had
time to enjoy half dozen luxurious
whiffs before the secret rapping sound
ed at the door. Long Sin opened it
and Tom, usually imperturbable, al
most rushed in.
THE master-has learned-the po-
ce-raid-here," he announced,
breathlessly.
WI Fang had outwitted US and
saved both Long Sin and Inez by the
marvellous little eavesdropper.

Finally he pushed the rat into the
hole in. the plaster which he had made,
and an instant later, loosed the ferret
after 1t, as IL on q leash of wire.
There WI stood paying out the wire
as the ferret scampered after the
scared rat.
WI faithfully paid out the wire, hop
ing for the result he had calculated
carefully.
AT last the tugging at the spool Of
wire ceased. Three sharp jerks told
him he had succeeded. Then WI set
the transmitter In the hole in the
wall close up to the Dashboard, which
he had replaced.
Perhaps half an hour after our re-
turn into the laboratory after Kennedy
had soaked the mat, he decided after
much elaboration to attempt to carry
the war into the enemy's country. We
left the laboratory, he to seek some
clue, / to go down to the Star, where
had little work to do.
Kennedy had scarcely hidden me
good-by and turned out of the campus
on the avenue, when he happened to
see face in the crowd which inter-
ested him.
1t was that of the woman who had
posed as Elaine-Innocent Inez He
paused moment as she went by and
gazed after her. She had not seen
him. This was too good an opportu-
nifty to miss. He turned and followed
her to the Mandarin, a chop suey joint
rs the master in?" she whispered
to the proprietor.
NO" he replied, "but Long Sin is
in the other place"
A short time afterward, as they still
talked, Kennedy after pausing outside
the chop suey joint, decided to enter.
While Inez and Sam were engaged
in earnest conversation he sat down at
table near by with his back to them
AS nearly as he could make out,
there was room somewhere which
was at least one headquarters of Long
Sin, if not WI himself But 1t was too
risky to remain.
Around on Park row again, he
stopped in drug store where there
was telephone booth and called up
the agency whose operatives he had
frequently employed on routine mat
tiers like shadowing.

brellas. The total number Of complete
umbrellas, including parasols and sun
shades, imported during the fiscal year
1914 was 1,967,560, of which 1861
262 came from the United Kingdom
and 406,29S from other countries.
There was considerable increase in
imports over the preceding year. when
the total number imported was 1856

inefficient exhilaration. They find In
it also social reaction. likewise in
adequate and evanescent, but feeble
survival of the effective social awak-
ening that intoxication produced in
the early history of mankind. The
narcosis of alcohol or other drugs is
now merely refuge for those whose
mental organization demands release
from the too great pressure which
they are unable to meet in ceaseless

dress of the drug store. 1--WE a little
shadowing in Chinatown for him."
1t was only a matter of few min
utes before Chase joined Kennedy,
and together they went back to China
town, Craig explaining to him in low
voice just what 1t was he wanted
done.
The operative furtively watched
1nez and Sam talking until finally she
rose and went out by the street door.
She turned abruptly on the street and
entered doorway that led up in the
same building, only outside.
Chase entered the dark, ill-smeliing
hallway and mounted the steps eau
tiously, careful not to make them
creak. He paused at each door until
he was sure that there was no one on
the other side.
At one. however, he could hear low
voices. He listened a moment, then
tried the knob softly. The door was
locked. Carefully he put his foot on
the knob and raised himself up by
gripping the transom.
There were Inez and Long Sin talk
ing earnestly as Inez removed her
wraps while Long Sin laid out couple
of opium pipes and cooked two pills of
the precious hop with practiced hand.
Chase let himself down as softly as
he had pulled himself up, and got
away without being seen.
Kennedy returned to the apartment
after dispatching Chase on his mis-
sion, and there l met him as soon as
I was through down at the Star Office.
We were talking over our plans
when there came a sudden knock at
the door, Craig opened it. 1t was
Chase.

excitedly Its over that restaurant.

race acquired the fixation of these lev

served it's usefulness.
