out at the same time taking the
Chinese situation into account. When
was with you here o year ago, the
condition in China was far from re.
assuring. In the Spring 1t became even
worse, and many were apprehensive OF
the ability of the Marking government

Chinese Well Meaning.
"There are well meaning people who
despair of the prospects of China's sta
bilization by her own efforts and hasten
to the rash conclusion that joint inter-
national action is the only means OF re-
storing peace and order to that dis
tracted country. Some even go so far
as to urge international intervention.
I cannot share their views, though can
understand and sympathiEe with their
concern. We must remember tnat
China Is q vast country, comprising
about one-fourth of the entire popula-
ton Of the world and an area twice as
large as European Russia. That 10 o
fact obvious to every one, but we are
apt to forget that so vast country,
when once thrown into chaos and dis
order by a sudden change in its govern
mental system, must require long, long
years to regain its stability. In the
period of China's struggle the foreign
nations, and particularly its immediate
neighbors, are apt to suffer. The loss
of foreign lives and property and the
detriment to foreign trade, such as we
have witnessed In China, are of course
deplorable, but we must endure them all
with patience and tolerance, for they
are inevitable concomitants OF the strug-
gle for internal readjustment now going
on In China.
Down, But Never Out"
China is q nation extraordinary
extraordinary in her elasticity, in her
capacity to resist and recover from ad-
yersity. In her long history of unnum-
bered centuries she has been down q
good many times, but she has never
been out. Always she found her own
salvation in her own way. We out
siders are too prone to think that China
must be put on her feet by means wnlcn
we think best, but the means We think
best is not always the means China
thinks best for herself. Our only desire
Is that China, in working out her own
salvation, shall proceed by steady and
measured steps.
TT has been said that the present
unsatisfactory condition of China's for
eign trade is due to her political chaos.
1 do not deny that political conditions
have a vital bearing upon trade, but 1t
is well to remember that China's eco
nomic ills at present are due to two
causes which are quite, apart from her
civil war. The first of these is, Of course,
the general effect Of the worldwide de-
preston now affecting all countries.
The second is the sharp decline in the
price of silver, which directly, touches
China, as you know. If you travel
through China and see for yourself the

CHAPTER w

There was a more definite
connection between Dinkie Rob
erts and Oliver Weadon! AS
definite as the two $1,000 bills!
Suppose it was Dinkie's car
that Weaden left in. Wasn't
it probable this was the car
that carted the dead man to
the dock? Dinkie was the only
one who could answer that
question and Dinkie was dead.
Robin Dale, now that Ruth
Hackett was so closely knit into
the case, started to put his
mind to work trying to unravel
the knot. There appeared to
be no question but that an ex-
planation of the $1,000 bills
would bring about the solution
of the entire mystery.
Why did Weadon only have
one $1,000 bill left? Why did
Dinkie Roberts have one of the
stolen $1,000 bills? Surely not
for taxi fare. And if Dinkie
had killed Weadon for the
money (supposing he had learn
ed that he was driving the alb
sconder away with the stolen
hundred thousand dollars,
why would he have only one Of
the bills? There were still a
number of things to be explain.
ed before the answer could be
found.
Robin, seated beside Ruth
Hackett, let these things run
through his mind until Captain
Morgan said he was ready to
see the lady. Dale rose and
entered the captains office
with her and Sergeant Owen.
Miss Hackett, we'd like to
know where your brother is
and also where Mr.. Brad
shaw is"
But I don't know I was
just walking by and

That's rather strange, isn't
it considering Mr.. Brad
shaw and your brother are
deadly enemies?"

manded Robin Dale.

By ARTHUR HOERL

Mr.. Tenant stepped to the
captains desk.
Some of that is true, cap
tain. I know, for instance, that
Weadon was taken to Brad
shaw's place by the young man.
They met at the bank where
Miss Ruth works. I've suS-
pected lately that Weadon had
been gambling and lost heavily.
On other occasions this Brad
shaw, I believe, would come
and wait for the lady when she
finished work. It was through
these meetings that I began to
suspect what Weadon was do
ing. I hadn't had time to prove
it before Weadon disappeared"
When the meeting was over
George Hackett was held at the
station to save him from get
ting into trouble. Captain Nor
gan said. Tenant left after a
few words with Ruth. She and
Robin Dale were again alone
in the office with Captain Nor
gan. Dale went to her side as
she stood motionless, like a
helpless little child.
Don't worry now; every
things going to come out all
right-Ruth."
He spoke her name softly,
hesitatingly.
"The way you say tit can't
help being true"
They were about to go out
when Sergeant Owens came in
with something in his hand.
1--WE found this on young
Hackett, captain"
Captain Morgan read what
was on a sheet Of note paper.
Ruth, after Robin Dale had
whispered to her, asked If she
might see it. Captain Morgan
heSitated a moment and handed
her the note. Robin Dale was
close enough to read as Sne
perpSed it.
It was a short note signed by
Oliver Weadon. Dear George"
it ran, I'm leaving today and
I'll probably not be back. 7 just
wanted to warn you for the last
time to look out for Bradshaw.
He told me last night that If
it's the last thing he ever does
he'll have Ruth. You know how
I feel toward her. I don't want
anything to happen to her and
I won't be here to prevent it.
Ollie Weadon."
Ruth handed the note pack
with scarcely audible thanks
and then quickly departed from
the office with Robin Dale.
