TWELFTH EPISODE The Affair of
 The Aeroplane
CHAPTER xxv. Hong Kong Harry's Lapse.

u SINGH was undoubtedly a "A clever man and owed his many N escapes to 8 combination of
 adroitness and sheer daring not often found in one and the same indi- vidual. But, in justice to Manning and the police, 1t must be admitted that their enemy was very often favored outrageously by fortune. Thus in the remarkable incident which came after ward to be classed by government cir cles as ''the affair of the aeroplane" it was the singular conjunction of inter- national politics as regarded by the state department at Washington and a drug inspired piece of folly on the part of Hong Kong Harry which saved the guiding spirit Of the Yellow Menace from sure and certain death.
 Seldom in the history of nations has any important event brought together such i'll assorted allies. Washington, of course, pooh-poohed the notion that it's high and mighty diplomacy could pos sibIy be affected by the vagaries of half caste Chinaman in New York, but Police Captain Kemp was wont to aver in the strongest language that if Wash tngton had kept its diplomatic finger out of the pie Hong Kong Harry's an tics would not have cut enough ice to cool the tongue of New Jersey mos quito. And the point is that the worthy Kemp knew just what he was talking about, whereas Washington had its head in the clouds.
 The trouble began one morning when Manning received telegram from the state department. It read:
 ..Information received here points to the belief that the agents of an Asiatic society with which you are already well acquainted will make bold at tempt to steal the drawings of the lat est type of army aeroplane now being tested on the government aviation grounds. We have reason to suspect that the representative of friendly power will be associated in this at tempt. Therefore, in order to avoid grave international complications, nc arrests should be made. Arrangements are left to your absolute discretion Communicate with commandant, avia tion ground, who will place himself en tirely at your disposal.'
 Manning smiled bitterly on reading this guarded order. It was so thorough ly official and noncommittal. Washing ton might just as well have said can didly:
 "We shall hold you responsible i those drawings are stolen, but your DO sition in this department will be vacat ed if there is the slightest diplomati disturbance as the result of your ef forts."
 Nanning's own comment, after h had read the telegram to Bronson am the two girls, summed up the situation in phrase:
 My beloved chiefs always toss coin in the air on the heads I win tails you lose principle" he sai quietly. "Of course, our friend Al Singh has been at it again. We shal

CHAPTER xxvl. A Matfer of Stability.
THE information brought by Hong

"HE information brought by Hong
 Kong Harry reached Manning
 at an opportune moment. The
 government agent was discus sing the Washington telegram with the officer in command at the aviation grounds and endeavoring to find out it's exact significance when a tele- phone call from his own house warned him that Ali Singh was even then on the way to carry out daring scheme which contemplated nothing less than the theft of the actual aeroplane itself. The gray headed major to whom Manning made known this extraordi- nary news smiled sarcastically on hearing it.
 "Why," he said, tits just rubbish to tell me that few Chinamen and Japs can pass my sentries, rush the guard which is always in charge of the shed and get away with a highly complex machine like that in question. Even in these go-ahead days there are

These three materials are the lead
ers again this spring, with here and
there a quaint revival; for instance, at

most attractive costume, three piece

Whether this is to be taken as an In
dication that etamine will again be
mOdish this season, or not, is ques-
ton. 1t is rumored that materials are
so scarce on the other side of the ocean
this year, that many an old fabric is
being brought out from its almost for
gotten resting place and fashioned in
to spring costume. Etamine was
particularly satisfactory summer fab
ric, cool, durable and soft. It would
not come at all amiss were it to be re-
vived this year.

bles in dyeing it later on. Attractive
