Shea got pp on his feet. He reel
cd for a moment or two. and then
made his painful way toward the
door 1t was either locked or bar
rcd on the other side. and so firm
was il that his mightjest effort fail
ed TO shake it. Now he looked
around the floor, but saw nothing of
any consequence. There were the
Jumps of plaster, some hits of
straw, some broken eL4 shells and a
few piccs Of mouldy bamboo which
looked as if they might have formed
the bottom rod OF screen or cur
tain. Now he approached tho Win
dow and peerCd through the largest
crack.
A little %rUut of satisfaction pass
cd his lips, for he saw enough thru
this crack to convince him that he
was held prisoner on one OF the side
streets &C tho Native City. For in
tho distance high above tho skyline
he could discern the outlines OF the
elephant carved upon the tcmole Of
Diem Iung. Thus, familiar With the
tortuous ways and evil smells Of tho
Chinese part Of SHANGHAI walled off
from the various Settlements. he
knew that he was not far from the

then passed on, The second one, q
cooIio with a Water-jar slung over
his shoulder, apparently was deaf.
But the halls showed results, how
ever, for at the second one Shea
heard q noise behind him and turn
ed to see the door swing open. \
slant coolie with an evil face stood
framed in the doorway, and immGdi-
ately the American sensed that it
was his keeper.
"Ho SAX bai.' Shea babe him po-

Tho Chinaman made no response.
Instead he scowlcd and made as il
to bar the door again.

Here he fumblod in his blouse and
held out Il gold piece. Take this

But the Chinaman merely scowled
at him, Then he spat on the floor
and slammed the door shut.

whites Shea coniecturcd. and

Again Shea looked around tho
room for a weapon or some object
that would help him. He picked up
one Of the short pieces of bamboo
and found it to be fairly crumbling
with dry rot.

outside l could attach a note writ
ten in Chinese telling the finder to
take the piece of bamboo to the con-
sulate-general and be we'll paid for
it."
And then it occurred to Shea that
there was knothole high UP in the
shutter, and that if the bamboo
would not pass through the crevice
it would surely go through the knot
hole endfrst.
"And with a goldpice as pre-
liminary payment attached to it,"
he thought, no coolie picking it up
could withstand the temptation of
taking the missiye to the Consulate
for secondary reward
So far. so good; but what were
the plans of his captors? Were
they holding him merely to have
talk with him? To taunt him be-
fore murderng him? How could he
persuade them for a few hours of
grace, and writing materials to
leave a parting message?
Again he closed his eyes, and as
he thought OF how close he had
come to finding the man who had
bought the ioo-i, quite naturally his.
, thoughts reverted to the singsong
girl and to Sheng Kung Pao.
IF Sheng Kung Pao knew I was
here, he smiled to himself he'd
tear the City Wall down if neces-
sary TO blast way for me-
And then Shea's smile faded and
an intent look came over his face.
He sat erect and was about to
scramble to his feet, when with a
smile he lay down again. There
was plenty of time he decided.
The Curse OF Cow LOOM" he
murmured.
Years before, Sheng Kung PAD
had advised him if imminent danger
/ ever threatened his life. and his ag-
i grossors were Buddhist6, there
would be a chance for him to delay
his hour of death and to choose fts
manner, provided he had time to
put this curse upon them. Now

OUR NEW RECORDER
An Able Lawyer Presides Over
1t ana the Small Litigant
Feels He Is In Safe Hands

1t is not necessary to say anything
derOgatory of the preceding Borough
Recorder IN referring to the qualin-
cations Of Daniel v. SummeTiil, Jr.,
who succeeds MIN in that office.
The office of Recorder is an impor-
tant one. Nearly all the petty trials
and t%ribulations Of the people of the
Borough are passed upon by him.
Hence he should be versed in the law.
Many people will not accept the
opinion of the lay mind where they
feel that their rights, liberties and
privileges are at stake, so the list of
appeals from small Court decisions is
Always large.
Daniel V. Summerill is a lawyer
thoroughly |conversant with the legal
conditions embodied in our statutes.
His services as County Prosecutor
alone would prove that. When these
small causes come before him, his
judicial knowledge at once prepares
him to take the proper view of the
matter. Common law and equity are
the stock in trade of the layman, but
they do not always answer the pur-
pose, even in petty cases. So an ap-
peal is taken and the case stands a
good chance of starting on its sinuous
way through the higher Courts, the
defendant winding up a bankrupt or in
State prison.
Because a case seems trivial does
not warrant its being treated 50.
There may be a principle involved
outweighing by far any money con-
sideration. Equal and exact justice
should be meted out to all and can only
be done by some one learned in the
law. No one questions Mr.. Sum
merilrs ability as a lawyer, and stand
ing high in the community as a citi-
zen, Penns Grove should feel proud
of this appointment by Mayor Kidd
and Council. 1t clothes the office with
dignity and the people have conf
dence that they will get get fair and
impartial treatment.
