CHAPTER IV-Continued

And SD they had passed those days and it was the fourth night how since he had come aboard-and tomorrow they would be in Singapore.
 He lay tossing in his bunk X tumult of thought kept his brain active and alert Singapore! What would Singa- pore bring him? Who WAS this Drink House sam?
 Ii mattered great deal nova great deal more than it had mattered before.
 For before, with a sort of herserk rage. he had been willing to take a gamblers chance, and. win or lose. stake his life against this devil, who ever he might be, that had tried to strike him down without warning, without a chance to defend himself i; but now his life meant more to him he wanted to Iiye-for her.
 "Thank God" he muttered, that at least everything is all right on board here '"
 He turned over and lay for perhaps ten minutes, trying to compose himself to sleep-but his eyes insisted on re maining fastened on queer little white patch by the door. What was it? It wasn't the moonlight through the porthole rehecting on anything.
 He raised himself Up on his elbow several times to make sure of that. Finally, in a fretful way, he got out of his bunk to investigate. II was d piece of paper that had evidently been pushed in under the threshod-but whether ten minutes or two hours ago he had no idea.
 Wallen picked up the paper, switched on the light-and suddenly it seemed as though his immediate surroundings had vanished, and he was living again scene of many years ago. He was standing on the stairway of that gri.l, gray lonely house in the dead of night, trembling child in his nightelothes, and below in the hall, holding q candle, was his father, and Gunga was bending over form on the floor, and his fla ther's voice was in his ears: Look again, Gunga. Has he one finger on the left hand?'
 And then Gunga's answer: T have looked. sahib, and the hand is whole"
 Wallen's face was strangely white. On the piece of parchment that he held was crudely traced a human hand, and the fingers, save for the forefinger, had the appearance of having been hacked away.

 It was the first time he would have avoided her if he could have done So.
 "I-you-that is. well. you see. Miss MacKay=I=I-cant very we'll Look here - cried Wallen impulsively-and caught her hands and held them.

There are two harbors at Singapore ; one opposite the town, which although little more than an open roadStead where the ships discharge by means of lighters. affords d safe and convenient anchorage; the other land-locked, fringed with wharves and warehouses, lies three miles west.
 It was already dusk when the Mon leigh. finding berth amongst nest of iunks. sailing and steam craft of all descriptions and all nationaitties, dropped anchor in the roadstead at Singapore.
 Wallen paused for a final word on the threshold of Captain Laynton'S cabin.
 "Its understood. then, Captain Lawn ion" he said quietly. No shore leave for anyhody-and steam up. I'll only be ashore a few hours, and we'll be away from here again before morn ing"

Police CourtJu
Announces
FINES WILL
INCREASE
To Meet
Old H. C. of L.

RICHMOND. Va. Aug. 2s.-Police
Justice John Jeter Crutchheld,
known throughout the country as one
OF the mostseccentric judges holding
down a bench in any police court. to-
day declared that in view OF the fact
that the H. c. OF L. had increased
enormously he. saw no reason why
the flnes Of police court "frequenters"
should not do likewise.
In making the announcement, the
Judge failed to state whether the In
crease would be 25, so. %, or 100 per
cent. He allowed himself this loop
hole, he said, due to the fact that Il
was impossible to tell how much the
high cost Of living would increase.
Whether or not the speech by the
zone John" really will mean anything
remains to be. seen. Those who ap-
pear morning after morning In police
court were taken back considerably
and stared in wild-eyed amazement
as the Judge was speaking.
Tt is regarded by those closest to
Judge Crutchfield that the speech was
for the purpose Of warning against
outbreaks taking place IN this section
as a result OF the unsettled conditions
in the country.
