that Hates dead husband,

A muffled sound from the back Of
the shop. The round black sateened
body of Chinese appeared from the

blandIy.
DO you have Miss Miss a girl
named Alice here?" Kate queried,
discovering suddenly that she did not
know the name of the girl she
sought.
'Um?" grunted the man behind
the counter.
Then he spoke loudly in his native
tongue. There was a movement in
the back of the shop. Another fig
ure appeared, slight, black sateened,
consciously groomed.
Sing Logs acknowledgment of
Rates presence was a very low and
formal bow. He had the slim body
and features of the mental type, a
marvellous poise, intense dark eyes
and low cultured voice.
The two Chinese exchanged few
words.
You wish to see my wife," Sing
10y asked at length.
