mot at all, sir. The word ocean
simply means foreign and applies to
= any one who comes from across the
seas to China: and. not knowing
your exact rank, they simply say
mandarin and that covers 1t ALL"
The native officer drew from his belt
bunch of cruious brass keys. and,
lifting the double curtains. called to
two Of his assistants to help him
unlock the prisoner. He started
back. and. throwing up both hands
wildly into the air, shrieked out
He has escaped" Sure enough, he

something gruesome and tale-telling
that would add CHASTITY interest to
the mystery OF his going.
whats this?" cried Brownlow, as,
reaching inside, ne tried to draw
forth from the back Of the chair a
bloody knife that had been plunged
evidently with great force-right
through the cushion into the wood
behind. He worked 1t loose. and,
holding 1t up to the astonished gaze
of his deputies. saw that 1t was
not a dagger such as the old war
riors carried. but common sharp
pointed carving knife, such as Is used
by the ordinary Chinese cook in the
kitchen.

and a warning?"
Both. I reckon" said Macintosh.
"but what's that piece Of paper stick
ing to IT."
The captain drew from the blade a
piece Of yellow paper with Chinese
symbols upon 1t. He was about to
ask the Interpreter to read it when
he suddenly changed his mind and
folding it carefully up, placed it in
his wallet and added Significantly
There's just one pair of Chinese eyes
that's going to look at that for me,
and Wang Foo's the man that owns
them. Here! Wrap this knife care

weapon to his deputy, land mind you
don't lose those cash that are tied
around the handle, see?" :,
The captain entered the sedan and,
striking a match looking around very
carefully for any further signs Of the
prisoner or Of bloody legacies that he
might have left behind. but. there
was nothing whatever to be seen;
everything inside seemed to be in
perfect order. He stepped out again
and ordered the deputies INN ediately
to place the four chairbearers and
the officer under arrest, as they were
on British soil. and would be needed
as witnesses II not as important ac-
cessories to the crime. Alas! He was
just too late. They, also, had van
ished like the mysterious occupant
OF the chair. The moment they
realized what had happened each
one fled in different direction.
''Tung-Si Nam Pok", teast w est -south-

various. points OF the celestial COM
pass they scampered, throwing away
their Official hats and jackets as they
did 80, for they knew only too well
that the sword OF the executioner
would be awaiting them II they were
caught. The tail of the Mongolian
pony was the only thing left in sight
as he disappeared over the bridge
of the Silver Cloud with his rider,

Macintosh. Mr.. Ling Took has GER

who were returning rather crestfallen
minus their expected prisoner, but
guarding very carefully two rather
important mementos of him, name
ly: the magistrates offlcial transfer
and the blood-stained kitchen knife
with its mysterious slip Of yellow
paper and the string Of copper cash.
The preceding chapters Of the story,
up to the time Of the discovery of the
empty sedan chair by. Capt. Brown

follows: All Sam, faithful servant and
number one house boy Of Mr.. and Mrs,
Morton OF Peak road terrace, Hong.
kong. had mysteriously disappeared
about two months before and. in spite
Of every effort Of the police to trace
him, he had failed to reveal his
whereabouts. There seemed to be but
two possible solutions. viz: either he
had left for parts unknown-possibly
the colonies or America-to secure a
raise Of salary. or he had fallen over
board from a sampan in the harbor.
while crossing to visit his relatives on
tho kowloon side. About a month
after his disappearance, however, an
entirely new aspect was given to the
case by the finding Of a yellow paper
parcel on the front doorstep Of the
Morton residence with these words
written upon the cover. For the man
who overturned my rice-bowl." On
opening 1t, 1t was found to contain tho
hat and gown Of All Sam with a kitch-
en- knife spotted with blood, and
driven through a thick piece Of red
paper cut In the rough shape of a hu-
man heart!
Mr.. Morton very promptly put the
whole case into the hands Of In
spector Wallace of the police, with
the result that suspicion at once CEN
tered on Ling Took, his former cook,
whom All Sam was reputed to have
been the cause Of discharging.
The native detectives explained that
the phrase "overturning my rice
bowl" was merely the current express.

But while we envy not the Cordova citizens good fortune we feel like remarkinG that in passino the 'buclS' congress should have noticed Ketchkan and dip in little deeper; for surely if there is berg in Alaska that can show 9 greater necessi ty for a federal building than Ketchi1an. we don't know which it is.

OUR LUCK ]?

It beats all how lucky we are; and to think that we never knew it. We have reference to the large number of real poets making their home in our midst And it is safe to say that the number will increase daily. Misfortunes never come sinely. Miss Influenza will be no exception. It is more than surprising to see so many poets congrepated at one little spot like Ketchikan. Since Charlie E. started his little joke, no day passed without discovering from one to three poets. However, this abundance of noets has served purpose in that it put us rioht on one point; for we had always looked unon poets-from distance as more than half divine creatures. above the average mortal, you understand. But that was all mistake. At least if our local poets are of the same make as those we have read about. We know now that they are just plain citizens like the rest of us, so far as appearance goes.
 Therefore we fear them not;
 Although some say they're nuts. .-..
