Chai-Hung leaped to his feet and

choke down the fury that consumed
him.

Seven?' he demanded flercely.
She regarded him in amazement.
"Why," she retorted %innocently,
"it was yellow-and there were

of importance to this card, Mr.. Chai-

Chai-Hung regarded his watch.
What is your theory, Captain Hew-

II believe that this affair is not
wholly u~neonnected with the present
wave of anti-British feeling that pre-
walls everywhere. L look at it as a
carefully calculated plan to cause
considerable annoyance to a promi-
nent Englishman; the work, in fact,
of a secret society. Be that as it
may" he concluded abruptly, I'm

The younger man swung slowly
round on his heel. He walked down
toward the kitchen quarters, then
