Internal machine and had got to the
place by means known only to himself
even before Hong Kong Harry reached

by the authorities was the last thing
that either All Singh or his assistants
expected.
All Singh. attended by the ever faith
full KatishG, ran into an adjoining
apartment. abandoning the two Japs
to their fate. Manning headed the
party which reached the laboratory
and had no SOONER entered the room

brown men, while Bronson tackled the
other.

Margaret shrieked, realizing that her
husband had been In deadly peril with

his men leaped and seized not only the
two thugs, but Hong Kong Harry him

Hong Kong Harry wrenched himself
free, sprang to the ships rail and made
a magnificent leap to the pier Here
he was headed of by several policemen
and stevedores. He knew that he
could not possibly break through the
barrier after barrier which must be
surmounted ere the comparative safe
ty of the streets might be gained. so
he turned and ran like hare to the

Malta reached the Manning house too
late even TO witness the marriage cere-

her stead in that trying hour. No one
could have congratulated Manning
