NJ. Max followed Ho Pin to Block A

in the open doorway of Block A, sharp
" clapped his hands three times.

S2S went out to meet Mr.. Clan
apolis. The latter was on the spot
punctually at 8 o'clock, and, taking
the Frenchman Familiarity by the arm,
he hailed a taxicab, giving the man
the directions, ITO Victoria Suburban"
Then, turning to his companion, he
whispered: Evening dress? And you
must return in daylight"
Nj. Max felt himself to be flushing
like a girl 1t was an error of artistry
that he had committed, a heinous
crime! $50 silly of me!' he muttered
mo natter" replied the Greek ge-
nially.
The cab started. NJ. Max, though
silently reproaching himself, made
mental notes of the destination. He
had not renewed his sallow complex
ion, for reasons of his own, and his
dilated pupils were beginning to con
tract again, facts which were not very
evident, however, in the poor light.
He was very twitchy, nevertheless,
and the face Of the man beside him
was that of a sympathetic vulture, If
such a creature can be imagined. He
inquired casually if the new patron
had brought his money with him, but
for the most part his conversation
turned upon China, with which cOun-
try he seemed to be we'll acquainted.
Arrived at Victoria, Mr.. GianapOlis
discharged the cab and, again taking
the Frenchman by the arm, walked
with him some twenty PAGES away
from the station. A car suddenly pull
ed up almost beside them.
Ere M. Max had time to note those
details in which he was most interest
ed Gianapolis had opened the door. of
The limousine, and the Frenchman
found himself within, beside Gianapo-
is, and behind drawn blinds, speeding
he knew not in what direction.
In some covered place that was very
dark the car stopped, and GianapoliS
leaping out with agility, assisted M.
Max to descend.
This was a covered courtyard, only
lighted by the head lamps of the IL
mouSine.
"Take my hand" directed the Greek.
NJ. Max complied and was conduct
ed through a low doorway and on to
descending steps.
Dimly, he heard the gear of the car
reversed and knew that the limousine
was backing out from the courtyard.
The door behind him was closed, and
he heard no more. A dim light shone
out below.
He descended, walking more conf
IDENTIFY now that the way was visible.
A moment later he stood upon the
threshold of an apartment which calls
for no further description at this place;
he stood in the doorway of the in
credible, unforgettable cave of the
golden dragon; he looked into the bee
tie eyes Of HO Pin, whom Gianapolis
had mentioned as the manager Of the
