there, wrapped in parchment for addi-

presence had weakened. and he re-
viewed the history of the past month
with certain clarity of mind of which
those who knew him best would hardly

fateful decision. With Manning dead

Singularly enough, Hong Kong Har-

fact that the residence was occupied

The one thing which Manning i'm
pressed earnestly on Bronson was that
the news of Judson's death should be
kept from his sister. By gentle ar
ti6ce, therefore, she was prevented
from reading the newspapers, Willard
Bronson having evolved some fanclful
theory that by avoiding eye strain she
would recover the tone of her shatter-
ed nerves. In consequence. while for
bidding the printed word. he encour-
aged her to show some interest in the
shipping which lay ut anchor In the
vicinity OF the quarantine station, and
even took the trouble to obtain from
their Long Island residence pair of
powerful and clear binoculars. With
these she amused herself for couple
of hours on the afternoon following
the gas tragedy.
Suddenly she uttered a startled ex-
clamation which brought Bronson and
May Manning to her side. Her wan
features looked frightened and there
was a look of alarm In her eyes. She
handed the glasses to May.

Over and over again In the modern
history of crime newspapers have un

Manning was deeply troubled by the
immense significance OF the few words

end came. Manning had never before
heard of quadrinolite, and no expert

A high official came especially from
