Lo mas estimulante que hubo en-

"Don't Re 'Ointed Idiot."


 But swift as was her progress Lee Chow was beside her when she reached us, and saw hts eyes go in searching appraisal over Juniors face. Then he looked steadily at me.
 "Lil boss man no die" be said with a quiet assurance that calmcd me. "But he must see doctor man yer soon. He get poison on face somewhere"
 Junior whose head had sunk against my shoulder. struggled up. right in my arms.
 Nasty old clams." he said. T hate 'em,"
 I comprehend6d instantly wha, he meant He inherits peculiar tendency of my skin to a slight eruption after eating shell fish in any quantity. It was the reason l had limited the number Of the clans Junior wished at dinner, and be evidently now ascribed his rap idly-increasing discomfort to them, although it appeared impossible for any food to produce such weird re- suits as appeared on his face ia so short a time as had elapsed since our dinner
 Lee Chow shook his head grave ly.
 Not clams," he said, but Katie whirled from Junior at the words.
 "Of course eet clams" she fairly screamed at him, but I noticed with relief that she did not attempt to attack him. Evidently she had learned her lesson well. "Und you old peeg hog, you vas only vun vot touched dose clans. You take dem down by water und you wash und you scrub, und nobody knows vot else you do or vot poison you put in dose tings for dees poor leetle a-bee."
 She was fast working herself up into another frenzy. and with my heart agonizing over my sick child, I was aimlessly and terrhedly won dering how I could calm her when aid came from an entirely uncx- pected quarter.

Standing over tho dead man, pistol in hand, Is Malcolm Finley, former sweetheart of Raynor's wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by the light switch.

Pen nington Wise. celebrated detec- tive, and Zlzl, his girl assistant, are called to take the case out Of the hands of Detective Dobbins.

If you had really done 1t, you attitude would be very differ ont. Also, you must agree that from all the evidence we can get from the people on the scene at the time, 1t looks as if either you or Mrs. Raynor did the shooting, With you out by the way, why did you clean off the pistol so quickly?"
 Malcolm Finley looked troubled. Then, "I will tell you" he said. "I think I'd better be perfectly frank. I picked up that pistol and whipped out my handkerchief and rubbed off any flnger-marks that might bs on 1t, because - because l did think Mrs. Raynor had fired it."
 why did you think so?"
 Because as I entered saw her going out Of the opposite door - just as Miss Turner said she did. There is no doubt about 1t - she was fleeing, as Miss Turner expressed 1t, out of that west door. So I as-

The shock of Surprise Junior Gave
 Katie
 Raties face was convulsed with . rage almost demoniac as she rushed toward me bearing Junior In her arms and shricking out her wild denunciation of Lee Chow. She paused in her run only 10 put Junior Into my arms as l sprang from the cushions the Chinese had provided for me and hurried to- ward her; and then with a howl like that of an enrugcl animal Katie rushed toward Lee Chow with fingers outspread like talons and working convulsively.
 You old yellow snake" she screamed, adding a string o' cpl 'hcts even more scathing, "I tell MeesSis Graham I keel eet you hurt dot pa.bee, und now you poison heem, keel you dead like eight nine doornals,"
 I heard her voice, hut I did not see the first encounter with the man she was so bent upon attack ing. For my eyes were fixed in ter rlhed astonishment upon my small sons face, seeing 1t flushed, swol- len, discolored, with his eyelIds so puffed that he could scarcely see out Of them.
 But he was alive! My heart, which fancied had stopped beat ing at Katie's shrill voice, began to function again. as heard my sInall sons voice uplifted in fright sned and -- reiotced at the sound -- distinctly tempery weeping. And with the reassurancs. I turned my eyes to the spot where Katie had rushed with her threat Of death for Lee Chow.
 Her shrieking had changed 10 frightened though angry sobbing, and she stood perfectly still, kept in her upright posture, by one Of Lee Chow's long and sinewy arms which srasped her shoulder and held her at arms length, while the other hand imprisoned both her struggling hands.
 Lee Chow's Strength
 My first emotion was 9 great smazernent at the strength Of the Chinese, for Katie possesses both unsuual strength for 8 woman and exceptional agility. She Is about as easy to hold as a clawing wildcat, and do not believe there are many men who could have subdued her with so little apparent effort.
 Boss lady" Lee Chow's voice was imperative. nearer excitement than l could have believed pos sible. You please tell kitchen woman keep still so l can go lil' boss man. Lee Chow no hurt him. Maybe Lee Chow help him"
 "Katie!" I made my voice as peremptory as I could. Come here this instant. l want both you and Lee Chow to help me-"
 I do not know what weight my command would have had, obedient to me as the girl. generally is, for it was plain that she was beside herself with anger, but Juniors frightened weeping voice echoed my summons.

 With a quick intuitiye glance from the child's face 10 katie's, Lte Chow released the girl, and without backward glance she rushed toward the child she adored.
