His fathers death! He had not even
yet come to realize it, except in that
cold, mercless desire for vengeance
upon the man or men who had been
guilty of his fathers murder. And
now her words brought that thought
again surging uppermost in his mind.
He faced her once more gravely.

THE HEROINE.

ynopsis-Stacey Wallen, first
mate of the bark Upolo, in the
Java sea, is the sole survivor of
the crew, all victims of yellow
fever. Ting Wah, Chinese sailor,
last man to die, tells Wallen he
and five other Cinnamon were sent
aboard by ''Drink-House Sam," no
torious character of Singapore, to
kill him. This recalls to Wallen
an incident of his childhood which
seems connected with the confess
sion. While delirious, Wallen en-
ters in the ships -og the fact of
his death and abandons the vessel
i'll a small boat Wallen's boat
drifts to the island of Arru and a
Scottish trader there, MacKnight,
cares for him. Learning that
ship is in port on the other side of
the island, twenty miles away,
Wallen, though unfit for the task,
starts to reach it. He sets out but
falls exhausted on the trail. There
he is found by d man and woman
who are from the ship he was try
ing to reach, Mott, first mate, and
Helen Mackay, a passenger. They
convey him to the vessel. The ship
proves to be a small tramp steamer,
the Monleigh, Captain Laynton.
Laynton tells Wallen the vessel had
been chartered by Wallen's father
to find him, the father knowing his
son to be in grave danger because
of a long-standing feud between the
elder Wallen and notorious pirate.
Ram Gulab Singh. Laynton also
informs him of the death of his
father, explaining that the fatality
was believed to be an accident
Wallen instantly associates his ia
theirs death with the Chinaman's
confession on the Upolo. He takes
over the charter of the vessel and
sails for Singapore.

CHAPTER Nv,
The Hand Sinister.

The moonlight bathed her in a soft
lumlnance as she leaned over the
ships rail; and it seemed to Wallen
that he had never seen so beautiful
face. No, beautiful wasn't the
word at all. 1t was more than that
something that counted for more
than mere prettiness of features.
Il know you're just dying to find
out how l came aboard here" she
laughed. II could see it in your face
every time you looked at me at sup

Yes" Wallen admitted. "That's
true, Miss MacKay. In fact, I've been
waiting here on deck for ages to ask

She did not answer at once-she
was leaning farther over the rail, her
eyes liked on the bubbling phosphores-
cence as it glided past the ships hull.
You are a western man. as we
speak of the West here, Mr.. Wallen,"
she said at last seriously; "and per-
maps you do not know the East very

call 1t. Conventions here are-are

mentally disapproving of my presence

Dy female companion of some sort.
instead of which l have only-this."
She drew her hand from her pocket,
ana In the open palm, as she rested
it on the rail, lay a small but very
serviceable automatic pistol
1t was unexpected, abrupt, and it
startled him. He stared blankly at
the exquisite silver chasing of the
thing as it glinted in the moon
beams.
"But-but to be where that isis
necessary" he ventured, little avk-
wardly.
She shook her head as she returned
the weapon to her pocket.
Il do not mean it in that sense
that 1T is necessary" she answered.

or the Peninsula are brought up with

In reporting the function given by
the Needle Club Halloween, it was
termed masquerade ball. AS Il good
many people associate dancing with
the term used, it would perhaps be
better to have called it party. AS
the affair was held in the basement of
he Methodist church and that church is
opposed to dancing, it is only fair to
say that the term party more APPLY de-
scribes the function held there than the
term ball and we are glad to make this
change in case there might have been
any misconstruction of the article.
