but he had plenty of that.
Idly he reached for the broken cigar
that lay at the foot Of the bed. He
would have tossed it aside as one Of
his own had not the carnelian band
attracted his attention. He hadn't
smoked that quality of tobacco In
years. He turned it over and over,

him of the fact that 1t was his own

brought the fight to an abrupt end.
The oily body suddenly slipped away.
Warrington beheld shadow in the
doorway; it doomed there a second
against the skyline, and vanished. He
ran to the gallery railing. but 1t was
too dark below to discern anything.
He returned to his room, breathing
hard, the obnoxious odor of sweat
and fish oil In his nose. He turned on
the lights and without waiting to in

part in scrimmage like this. The
copra grower assuredly would be the
last man to give a cigar to China
man. Mallow, rich, was Mallow dis
posed of, at least logically; unless In
deed It was a bit of anticipatory re-
prisal. That might possibly be. A
drunken Mallow was capable OF much.
for all that his knowledge of letters OF
credit might necessarily be primitive.
Yet Mallow was no fool He would
scarcely take such a risk for so un-
stable aud chancely thing as revenge
of this order. Craig? He hadn't the
courage. Strong and muscular as he
was, he was the average type of
gambleg, courageous only when armed

Mallow together. He slipped

With an unpleasant laugh he began
to get into his clothes. Why not? The
more he thought of 1t, the more he
was positive that the two had been be-

have meant a good deal to Craig.
There were a thousand Chinese in
Singapore who would cut mans
throat for a Straits dollar Either NAL
low or Craig had seen him counting
the money on shipboard.
He looked at his watch; quarter

rooms he would have good grounds for

boisterous. and Craig was sullen. The
former began to argue with the night
manager, who politely shook his head.
Mallow grew insistent, but the night
manager refused to break the rules
of the hotel Warrington inferred that
Mallow was demanding liquor, and his
inference was correct. He moved
little closer, still hidden behind the
potted palms.
"All right" cried Mallow. We'll go
back to town for it.

sullenly. Lets cut out booze and play

s'Fine!" Mallow slapped bis thigh

Craig shook his head. When Mallow
was argumentative it was no time to
play billiards.
"Bah!" snarled Mallow. Since you
won't drink like a man nor play bill
lizards. I'm for bed. And just as tbs
fun was beginning!"
Craig nudged him warningly. NAL
