duckers seemed to enjoy the old FASH
Toned whirl quite as much as the two
who danced It. This is one of the
things which make New York sum-
mers quite Irresistible. Convention
and custom are packed in moth balls.
There is a camaraderie that is posi-
lively contagious.
Let 1t not be thought that the sum-
mer visitor Is entirely care free, with
out obligation or object other than the
pursuit OF his own pleasure. The fly
in the ointment Of his happiness is the
haunting thought that he must buy
some presents to take back to the
folks. At the most unexpected and
i%nopportune moments this thought
bobs up and grimaces at him horribly.

Peterson was impressed by his
friends disregard for money and
eagerly accepted all his invitations 10

So was the atmosphere created for
which the detective vas striving.
The two men spent much time to-
gether. They ~automob!led about the
city and dined at the resort OF Fun
Ken back in the hills. The nan who
claimed to be n retired glass manufac-
turer seemed to he a careless sort -
individual with n disregard of how he
spent his time.
And all the time Gard was picking
III the details OF the operations OF
the smugglers. 1t was through the
negro boy who waited on him at the
hotel that he learned Of an opium
shipment. The boy had overheard the
conversation that ave him the IN

the cockney English Of the Jamaican
negro.
Sing Foo was the moving spirit
from the Chinese end in these smug-
cling operations. lie was a more I'M

Ken. who ran the resort on the hill.
Sing Foo was n wealthy merchant
with a large establishment in the Ccn-
tire of the Kingston Chinatown. Gard
had beer studying his establishment.

there were constantly two or three
