TO be kept on Ling Tang we returned to Lyon
with Daumains, who had been ordered to CO.
operate with us. Laughton was pacing up and
down the platform when the train arrived.
His first words were startling.
II believe Valet and his girl lieutenant,
Chiffon. are behind this business he ex-
claimed. There seem to be several gangs at
work. big Oriental shipping house was en-
tered last night. We are keeping the news
out of the papers. Thermite was used on the
safe. That's Wallets method. Money has been
taken this time but ! don't think that was
what they were after, for it was only a small
sum- Something very valuable is being sought
Come along, we'll lay all the facts before the
laboratory chief and Judge Duprez.
The magistrate compared our reports
thoughtfully for long time, then he looked
at Laughton and asked:
Whose were those fngerprinys on the broken
boxes?"
I'VE have none like them in the records
monsieur; they do not look like those of a
European
Judge Duprez turned to the laboratory chief
rs there difference then doctor?"
"Oh, yes there is a difference in shape be-
tween Negro, Oriental and European fingers
I should say that these belonged to an
Oriental
And the message on the slip of paper?
"Yes-the language is Cantonese, but it was
only the name and address of the curio dealer"
Cantonese, you say Then the burglars
who broke into M. Carlins shop were Chinese,
and probably strangers to Lyon, since they
carried his address with them. And the finger
prints found at the place where the Chnaman
was killed are Oriental in shape and unknown.
Thank you, doctor"
Then abruptly the magistrate turned again
To Tor
theory: What is it?"
Our colleague frowned thoughtfully for a
moment then he answered:
"A very valuable document has been hidden
IN secret compartment of a box like those
which have been smashed. imagine, and was
sold unwittingly. Ling Tang knows all about
it and perhaps confded in Valet Some coun-
trymen of Ling Tang are also anxious to OBJ
tain the box
But Valet, who is devil and afraid of
nothing is determined to kill any one who
interferes with his plans and he probably
threatened Ling Tang, causing him to flee to
Spain. I felt convinced that it was Valet who
stole Ling Tang's knife and stabbed the China
man with it."
M. DUPREz nodded assent
Yes he said, that is probably what
happened. The important point is, did they
get what they were after?"
I'VE shall soon know, for if they succeeded
no further burglaries at curio dealers will take
place. We must endeavor to find out if any

lately. I do not think that they were after

the authorities at Saigon which is at least a
curious coincidence.
"A rich merchant was murdered there about
six months ago, He was believed to have had
in his possession the famous Sing Tao diamond

Palace in Peking. The stone was not found

found tiny scrap of yellow paper bearing
several yellow Chinese ideographs. NJ. Carlin
was certain that it did not belong to him. 1t
was the only thing We found.
The burglars had taken care to leave no
marks Of any kind. The shopkeeper admitted
that lascars and Chinese seamen came often
to his place with curios. Any of these might
have obtained an impression of the locks of his
safe and door, while he examined the goods
they brought
The scrap of paper was at once sent to the
laboratory for translation, and after advising
M. Carlin to move nothing until we had sent
an expert, We drove to the house where the
dead man had been found.
There, fortunately for us, nothing had been
touched, for the manager had locked the room
the moment he caught sight of the huddled
body and had telephoned the police.
THE victim was an Oriental-probably a
as seamen wear. He was lying face downward in
front Of large cupboard, which had been
forced. The haft of long dagger protruded
from his back. The doctor, who was at once
sent for, declared that the man had died in
stantly. Death had taken place sometime dur
ing the preceding night. On the floor were
cut to pieces.
To our delight we found that several frag-
ments bore clear finger marks on their polished
surface. These were Immediately packed and
sent to the laboratory
A photograph of the murdered man was later
recognized by stevedore who informed us
that ne had been employed unloading rice from
barges at the riverside warehouse of Messrs.

We at once communicated with Inspector
Daumains, and caught the next train to Mar
selle. The knife which we had brought with
us was identified by detective as having be-
longed to a huge Chinaman known as Ling
Tang who owned a restaurant and hotel for
Orientals near the Toilette docks.
"a dangerous man." Daumains informed
us. "My officer tells me that he has not been
seen for several days. His wife is a French
woman and she is looking after the business.

feel convinced Ling Tang is lying low. Well
raid it tonight. 1 imagine that he is your
man. We'd better wait until just before mid
night"
Dressed in rough clothes and well armed,
we gathered at the little harbor police station,
where only trained fighters prepared at any
moment to battle for their lives are stationed.
Daumains said: The uniformed police will
follow at a distance I'll walk in 'front.' you
and Voltaire keep close behind; We must act
suddenly"
The maze of tiny alleys and cobbled streets
surrounding the docks was dark and mysterious.

IT was like nightmare and my daZed senses
only slowly recovered their balance. Dau-
mains laughed when he saw me ruefully finger
a bad scalp wound which was evidently the
result of blow from a bottle
II told you this was not Paris We have his
wife, but Ling Tang is nowhere to be SEEN"
1t was a frutless search. The Chinaman
was not there. When his wife and the men we
had arrested were questioned the next day,
they were unanimous in declaring that Ling
Tang had fed, panic-stricken, a week previ-
ously to Barcelona. She remembered that he
had forgotten his knife in his hurried fight,
and she could not conceive how it had got to
Lyon.
Something her husband had said made her
think that the enemy he feared was China
man, but it might be the man who had been
living in the hotel for a month and who had
suddenly disappeared the day after Ling Tang's
flight
Her description of this man came as shock
1t was Valet alias d'Artagnan, bandit leader
who had escaped from the police van after
being arrested week ago. An examination of
his room made this certain but, although every
likely haunt was searched, no trace of him
was found.
Ling Tang was arrested in Barcelona two days
later, following upon our cable to the Spanish
police. He was brought back to Marseille, but
his alibi was unshakable. He could not have
been concerned in the murder in Lyon. The
man was Skillfuly questioned, but we learned
nothing that could help US, and were forced
to release him.

ID ATHER crestfallen at my friends harsh
manner, NJ. Carl3n withdrew, muttering
Apologies. Laughton at once pressed a bell
and while waiting for an answer pulled out a
Eheaf of documents
''This is the third case of the kind this
week" he said to me- You probably have
mot heard-but two well known curio dealers
have had their premises ransacked yet nothing
stolen. Only in every case Chinese inlaid
lacquer boxes have been smashed. OF course,
ITS obvious that something very valuable is
believed to have been hidden in such box.
I imagine that it was sold by some one who at
the time knew nothing of what it contained"
"But surely no one would sell a valuable box
without looking inside?"
"A secret compartment perhaps-hello, Vol
taire. here's another case of an honest burglary.

V0ltaire had arrived IN answer to the bell,
but he did not smile at Laughton's fiippant air.
They are not ali so honest, Laughton," he
said. "The chief Of the Fenestrelle district tee-
phoned me an hour ago. I've just come from
there. A firm which deals in all manner of
Chinese goods was entered some time last night.

We were soon at M. Carlin's shop which a
policeman was guarding. AS the owner had
stated, everything was in wild disorder and
the floor Uttered with pieces of wood from
broken boxes, and fragments of smashed vases.

open doorways the reek of wine and rum came
in waves, while rottng tropical fruit added an
odor of sweet decay intoxicating in its in
tensity.
Shrill voices babbled in the monoSyllabic
tongues of China, and now and then harsh,
cultural Arabic startled us with its fierce
menace. On all sides were cafes or eating
houses. 1t was strange to see the women
shuttle past in silken smock and trousers,
while the men wore long, flowing robes.
Suddenly Daumains stopped and lighted a
cgarette-the prearranged signal-and we saw
large house with an Illuminated Chinese sign
running vertically down the center. It was
Ling Tang's restaurant Again Daumains
struck match and pulled at his cigarette.
His men at once formed into groups, arguing
and quarreling as though befuddled with wine,
but alert and ready for instant action.
Abruptly, with a quick motion, Daumains
pushed open the door and We rushed inside
shouting:
Hands up and don't mOve-police!"
But Ling Tang's was not so easily raided.
We had hardly completed the last word when
every light went out and blows from cudgels,
chairs and bottles rained down on US. Whistles
shrilled, while hoarse voices cursed and yelled
felt a crushing impact, which hurled me
against table; for a moment the world was
full of shooting stars. My only desire was to
get away from the rushing fighting, hurting
forms which I heard but could not see.
Then binding magnesium flare suddenly
froze the fighters into immobility, and at once
the police were among them with swapping
