 Look at it another way" pursued Pennington. "Chai-Hung was a celebrity He had an immense fol- lowing. ' Wouldn't you think they'd stick up a monument over his last resting place instead of keeping the whole affair dead secret?"
 The Commissioner brought both hands on to the arms of his chair.
 T don't quite know what to think" he said slowly. If Chai-Hung's dead, as I honestly believe he is there's precious little left to worry about. On the other hand, if he managed somehow to get out of the death-trap he'd set for Brabazon- it's a damned serious proposition" He rose to his feet and began pacing the room. The responsibility of my position here at this moments get ting on my nerves" he complained presently.

Brabazon took my pistol and kept 'em off, while I threw Chai-Hung into the death chamber.

TREATY IN 3 LANGUAGES
Turco- American Pact, it Has Been Decided, Will be Written in English, Turkish and French.

By The Associated Press. .a,.
 Lausanne, July 80. - It has been definitely decided that the Turco- American treaty will be drafted In three nguages-French, English and Turkish with French as the of- ficial text-if an agreement is reached here, as now appears increasingly probable.
 The American and Turkish repre- sentatives again wrestled with the claims question last night without coming to an agreement but arrang- ing for another meeting to be held this morning.
 Ismet Pasha argued that Turkey could settle acquisitions affecting Americans in Turkey during the war, but pointed out that Turkish law does not authorize the payment of damages incurred incidental to war.
