CHAPTER XIV.
A Drawn Battle.

Had Hong Kong Harry been content
to keep locked in his own breast the
secret of his interference in Najla's
behalf Ali Singh could never have
known, though he might have sus-
pected, the means by which the cleo
trio cable was cut. OF course, the
expert mechanic in charge of the
dynamo was not long in locating the
fault, and came back to his master
with the startling news that there
was a traitor in their midst, since it
was easy to see that the wire lad
not snapped accidentally
Hong Kong Harry. unable to con-
tain himself at the thought that now
he would really be able to claim
Najla's gratitude, had crept to her
cell and thrown himself by the side
of the couch on which she lay CULVER
ing with pain. At first he was re-
garded with loathing by all three
girls, but his frantic protestations in
duced an unwilling belief.
ut was /. dear one, who snatched
you from the rack" he vowed pas
sionately. II heard your screams.
They drove me nearly mad. So I
rushed out and cut the wire which
governed that horrible machine. You
must see now that l am your slave
forever. 1 risked death itself for your
sake. Will you not give me one kind
look from those beautiful eyes?
1t was clear enough that the mans
help had come in the nick of time,
and Malta would not be human if she
refused him some need of gratitude.
Her drawn face softened and she held
out limp hand.
THANK you," she sighed. IT am
indeed much indebted to YOU"
II have done more than take you
from the torture chamber" he NUT
tered huskily. There's a telephone
in this house. and Manning, the de-
tective, now knows where you are.
He will be here soon. You will oil
be rescued. But never forget, Malta.
that l did this for you"
Margaret and May were spellbound
with surprise. Little had they ex-
pected guecor from such a quarter.
Malta was about to say, something,
but Margaret Bronson interrupted her
with a sharp ejaculation which drew
all eyes to the door.
1t stood ajar. Against the small.
rectangle Of light thus visible were
silhouetted the head and shoulders
of woman in eastern garb. Hong
Kong Harry sprang up. and whirled
to the doorway with an almost in
credible alacrity But Katisha was
too quick for him. With O hooking
laugh she slammed the heavy door
in his face: they heard the key turn
ing in the lock.
Hong Kong Harry's always livid
features now assumed a greenish

he leaped to the library door, being
aware of new dread because of the
disturbing fact that Manning had not
put in an appearance.
Holding his breath, Bronson ad-
vanced into the room and discerned
his friends body sprawling across the
table almost in the same attitude as
Senator Johnson's after he had been
stung to death. The young bankers
first thought was to turn off the gas.
Then he seized Manning and dragged
him forth, never hating until they
were in the open air
Manning breathed heavily, like one
under the influence of an anesthetic,
and coughed many times in most
terrifying way. Then his senses re-
turned, and he gurgled family:
Where am 1? What has happen
ed?"
You have come back to life again,
Enroll" cried Bronson. savagely.
You and I are going now to square
accounts with Ali Singh"

HETTY GREEN . OBSERVATIONS

The late Hctty Green, acknowledged
the richest woman in the world, ana,
incidentally, one Of the kecnest, knew
her own sex perhaps as well as she did

1t is said Of her that one day after at.
tending a Brooklyn divorce court, where
80 cases were disposed of, she was
heard to remark after the experience:
"Divorce day, they call it; well, VIVA,
can you expeetf These women never
learn to keep house. They get married
and their sole ambition is to wear fine
clothes, bleach their hair, wear gay
ribbons and fine laces. Home is the
last place they want to think of. The,

by hitting singles to left field. In
fact Rogan was in the best form, and
for eight innings not Chinese play

Regarding the score the 18th Infan-
TRY Wreckers secured six, while the
Chinese didn't care much about dust
ing off the pan, except when at bat,
Hoon XII, who was on the mound for
| the Chinese, deserved better fate;
and only one earned run was securcl
off his delivery. Kan Yea was a busy
body with the drop kicks, etc., and as
result five other runs were scored.
They Sent For Him
When time for tie game arrived
Kan Yen was not at the park. and the
Chinese despatched an automobile
after him. They should have sent a
lvelccipede or a Ford Kan Yen might
not have arrived so soon, and the
score might have been 20 6 at the
