ing that siege Frank Suttons men were the
best paid troops that China has ever known,
and they vowed that they would stick to him
to the end.
At the end Of the eighth day two messengers
from the commander Of the rebels approached,
bearing . white flag and asked Frank Sutton
to accompany them to the headquarters Of Gen.
Ma Jul, the commandment Of the besiegers to
arrange armistice.
THE Englishman had not slept for more than
hour ut . time for more than o week,
and was not. therefore, feeling particularly
bright or diplomatic; but q white nag looked
genuine, and the odds were stfu 400 to against
him he fought 1t out TO the end. So he went
on just as he waS-tn an old khaki shirt, Q
pair Of foot ball shorts and dirty knees. And
he took with him an interpreter and . couple
OF revolvers Gen. Ma JUL sat at . table in the
center Of the house in q village packed with
troops. Five or six Of his staff were beside him
and an armed guard with fixed bayonets around
about.
what happened after that is better told in
Gen. Frank SuttCns own words he related
the story to the authors.
"As we entered q murmur ran around and
my interpreter went ashen with fright.
They are saying that we are going to be
murdered as soon as we get outside he whis-
pered. I tried to think quickly. A diversion
was the thing to give one time to act.

fixed bayonetS. and ask him kindly to order his
men TO pile arms
THE interpreter began TO translate this, and
at once the guard piled arms of their own
accord The chatter of their rifles seemed to
arouse Gen. Ma Jul. He whipped up q revolver
which was lying on the desk beside him. and I
found myself looking down the barrel for one

Pandemonium broke loose at that instant
Every one started firing blindly. The staff
dived at Sutton, who dived for the door His
interpreter was shot by his side. Sutton him
self found his way out of that death room
blocked by two bully Chinese, and shot them
both in order to get clear. The next minute
he was outside and running for his life through
the rice fields toward his fort. He beat all
records for the three-mile championship Of
South China that night. Arriving safely at his
fortress, he paraded the men and told them
that the time had come for them to clear out
or join the opposition. whichever they liked.
Next he raided the mint and secured few
more boxes OF silver. Some OF 1t be split up

With these men TO help him. he settled down
to his task Of turning out guns and shells. He
was the only white man for 5000 miles, and
anything happened no help could come TO
him; for no one knew that he was there. But
he did not stop to worry about that-he had
come to China for adventure and he looked
like finding it.
Five months passed in perfect peace, during
which the arsenal turned out about 30 guns
and $4,000 shells. When not actually manu-
featuring munitions he trained and drilled hts
tiny garrison Of 250 men, and succeeded in turn
ing them into the smartest soldiers in China.
At length Yang Sen announced that he was
going south with Is, 900 men Of the I'd Szechuan
Army, which was the local force to chastize the
LIST Army, which was becoming restive after
which he proposed to march north against the
Sd Army, which also was showing signs Of re-
volt. This plan OF campaign looked like caus-
ing trouble, for in China the beginning of civil
war is usually heralded by two sections combin-
ing against a third. which in this case was

1t, so he set his men to work fortifying the
mint, digging trenches, protecting them with
sand bags and generally preparing to Withstand
a siege In q way unknown in China. The mint
stood In q high position approached by three
valleys. SuttonS next task was carefully to
take the range of these three valleys, up which
the enemy must approach and mark the var1-
GUS distances with white posts, so that all three
could be swept with a deadly fire up to two
miles range Meanwhile Yang Sen had de-
parted. leaving Chunking, his capital garri-
Soned by 5000 men. Weeks went by without
news of him. Then came rumors that revolving
troops OF the Sd Army were approaching and
that they were as numerous as the grains of
rice in the fields.
At last the blow fell. One bright morning
Frank Sutton woke up to find shells screaming
over his arsenal masses of besieging troops
concentrating In the three valleys and the
gallant garrison of Chunking in full flight At
once his defending guns came into action. The
Siege Of Frank Sutton's Chinese army had be-

Chinese troops in revolt. Things didn't look
too bright.
The battle continued for eight days The
besieging force was equipped with German field
guns and used Shrapnel. Their shells ripped
the roof OF the mint and killed about 70 Of the
tiny defending force, but the rest of the men
stood fast. The reason for this was that the
mint still held the moneys belonging to the
province. and every second day Frank Sutton
went to the manager Of the place and demanded
another box of silver for the troops. The man.

hundreds of guns a day for Chang Tso Lin had
become a legend among the Southerners, and
naturally Chang's spies spread by every means
in their power these reports about the mystery

Asia. So well did they cast veil of romance
over Frank Sutton and his munitions factory
that these reports even reached London, and
English newspapers began asking who this

Chang himself had now realized that Sutton
might be the one man who could save his armies

to his staff and gave him all the men and
money he needed in order to pour out NUM-
