Kemp sat down heavily. The burly
police captain was beginning to feel
the strain OF life. He didn't mind the
dangers attending the chase. Such
things were part and parcel of his pro
fession, but he was sick at heart on
account OF this cold blooded compact.
1t was not that he feared the conse-
9uences officially, since Willard Bron-
son might be trusted without stint In
such a matter, and the detective had
hardly understood what he might have
overheard. But he felt that he was
being beaten on his own ground by one
whom he designated as "Chink."

BY this time, too, Bronson knew that
Manning was not to be diverted from
his purpose. Further, he knew that
Manning was right and insisting on a
line of action which he himself would
have followed II faced by any such
frightful alternative. His brow whiten-
ed with repressed fury, and he clench-
ed his hands in a very agony Of i'm
potence.

an eerie whlmper. ''Just think Of

An outburst Of BrOnsons was ended
abruptly by Kemp's curious actions.
The police captain had whipped out
revolver and was gazing sternly
through an open French window. The
others were startled In their turn
when they saw Hong Kong Harry

In that moment of seeming triumph
Ali Singh conducted himself In man

stead Of keeping. aloof, he actually
drew near and produced a watch,
which he affected to scrutinize closely.
May Manning, yielding suddenly to
wild hysteria. sprang toward him,
threw herself ut his feet and clutched
his knees In frantic appeal that he
should spare her brothers life.
He flung her off, indicating by a
scornful gesture that her very touch
was offensive. Placing himself behind
a small table, he drew an automatic
pistol from a pocket and put 1t on the
table, STOPPING once more to consult
his watch. At sight Of that odious
action. which implied that the judge
was about to become the executioner,

a When the tension became unbeara-
BILE they left the girls In charge or
some policemen and raced downstairs.
Soon they found themselves In the
midst of verltable crowd OF police,
many of whom were wounded and
some seriously injured.
At least half dozen Asiatics were
stretched on the ground lifeless or In
sensible. and twice as many prisoners
were already handcuffed in pairs. But
there was no All Singh among them!
Kemp ragged like a mailman. His
usually placid temperament yielded to
the strain, and he bawled lurid words
which none of his subOrdiDates had
ever before heard on his lips. In truth.
he was inclined to blame himself for
the contretemps, feeling that he ought
to have made sure OF the prize the in
slant he entered the room, because he
had been given just one glimpse OF Ali
Singh when the latter sent Manning
reeling against the wall.

were bundled together In corner.
But, no matter who suffered. he ought
to have stopped with bullet the ca

While he was alternately swearing at
his men and himself and racing about
an overgrown garden I'm furious speech.
he met two detectives conveying Hong
Kong Harry, since the half caste ran
no small risk Of being shot by one Of
the police who might not have recog-
nized him.

cars in New York are waiting to take
up the chase"
"Only one car was In that road, and
1t can't move with two front tires shot
TO pieces"
Kemp rushed off. He meant to fol-
low the trail in the two uninjured
cars. But the half caste felt sure that
the higher one would elude pursuit.
How often had the adroit scoundrel ex-
tricated himself from even more
threatening surroundings! Therefore
was Hong Kong Harry sick at heart.
Were Ali Singh dead or a manacled
prisoner he would have felt himself
reasonably safe; but, as matters now
stood, he realized that he would sure
~ become the object of the higher
ones signal vengeance, since there
could be no doubling the identity OF
the traitor who had brought the
hounds Of the law to the conspirators'
lair at such an opportune moment.
Hong Kong Harry racked his brain
for some way to explain to Ali Singh.
The more he thought the more hope
less the outlook seemed. He felt that
his doom was sealed. The only doubt
in his mind was the method Of torture
that Ali Singh would adopt. The half
caste was In the depths of despair.
OF course Margaret Bronson and May
Manning were blind to every consider

FARM LABOR
INFORMATION

The banks of Grand Rapids have re-
ceived the following letter in refer
ence to farm labor.
The farmers of the country are con-
fronted with serious shortage Of la
Dor. The available men are either en-
listing under the colors or are seeking
employment in industries doomed by
large war orders. Everywhere the
cry of the farmers is, Where will we
get sufficient help to cultivate and
harvest our crops?" Unless this help
is forthcoming, the crops this Fall will
not be a success. You can readily real
ize and appreciate the seriousness of
the situation, can you not?
The Rotary Club OF Milwaukee has
appointed me one of a Committee to
solve the problem of supplying the
farmer with needed help, and all l ask
of you is this-Furnish me Vi h the

If you have only a few farmers in

munity, can be of the greatest help
We can furnish all the boys needed.
