There was choking sensation

he stammered. he turned abrupt
ly toward the door of the inner
room to indicate that the palayer
was at an end.
Presently something clattered
to the floor and the girl was
gone.
He swung slowly round on his
heel and saw the thing that she
had dropped. 1t was a knife with
a long steel blade and a yellow
handle ornamented with black
dots. He stopped and recovered
it; as he did so he recognized the
grim sign of the Yellow Seven.

Captain John Hewitt, SCommisy

And still Denis Moorhouse felt
hopelessly at sea. He glanced
back over his shoulders toward the
Ewing room and his half-finished
meal, then drew the tumbler from
Che arm of his chair and sent the
Soda kissing into the ahber fluid.
AL the time, while he strove to es-
tablish a mental balance, he felt
that the girls eyes were fixed on
him and the hooking light that
played in them made him uneasy.

Of her sarong accentuated the
Graceful curves of her form; the
garment seemed to have become
part of her, like the plumage of
Bird or the down of a gorgeous
Butterfly that flutters for brief
moment in the sunlight and is
gone. Moorhouse knew that she
would go-knew that she must go
but a strange, uncomfortable de-
sire was swiftly building itself up
within him to postpone the mo-
ment of her departure.
