vine tense under their weight and
looped it around the tree once
more. He could see Eau haul the
vine close at his end.
Two at a time" shouted Mr..
Gamble. And get those men
farther away from Eau"
The Colonel barked and the
troops across the gorge scrambled
to obey.
Slowly and in silence the Chi
nese company made the crossing.
Rain rustled in the jungle and
dripped from the glistening Stats
and vines of the bridge. From
below came the ceaseless rush of
the river. Mr.. Candles arms
ached and he wished he could knot
the vine around the tree.
What time is it," he bawled.
"Nine-twenty. You're nervous,
Mr.. Gamble" said the Colonel
tauntingly.
II don't mind this kind of nerv-
ousness," Mr.. Gamble answered.
The last group stepped onto the
bridge.
Better get the rubies out,
Colonel"
''HAvE you thought that might
not have them? That l might
have concealed them?'.
MIR. Gamble eased the vine, the
coils slipped and the bridge sagged
slightly. The Chinese lurched
against the handrails and turned
terrified faces back to the Colonel.
kung seemed not to see them but
he pulled the sack from his blouse
and looked at it as though he were
trying to remember what it was.
The Chinese hurried over the
swaying bridge.
Come on, Zau," shouted MIR.
Gamble.
The Maru secured his end of
the bridge and scampered across.
Your turn, Colonel, said Mr..
Gamble, walking up to him. Kung
looked at Mr.. Gamble blankly,
extended his arm stiff1y and
dropped the rubies into Mr.. Gam
ble's hand. He wheeled and strobe
to the bridge. There he stopped,
turned and came back.
"Of course, Mr.. Gamble, there
is no guarantee that | shall not
return to relieve you of -.
Behind them, from the direction
of Kaba, a dull booming sound
rolled in. 1t came again. Some
body was saluting somebody. 1t
would have to be Featherstone.

Burma, thought Mr.. Gamble grim
ly. 1t made neighbors out of
strangers in the little villages on
either side of the gorge. 1t in
creased the range of hunters and
traders. Over the bridge and a few
miles beyond lay China.
Mr.. Gamble consulted his
watch. If his timetable held good,
he would soon see the premature
Colonel Kung hustling this way.
"Zau," said Mr.. Gamble, Into
the jungle. We need some long,
tough vines"
MIR. GAMBLE was leaning against
a tree off to one side of the bridge
when Colonel Kung and his troops
appeared.
Colonel"
The Chinese deliberately drew
his Mauser and leveled it at Mr..
Gamble. you are very persis-
tent. Mr.. Gamble. You seem to
have an appetite for trouble.
What do you want?"
"On your way back to China,
Colonel Kung?"
"As you see."
Il wonder if know why: the
troops of which l spoke are almost
here and, as once suggested, you
do not wish to be found in Burma
before the appointed time. Is
that it,"
Il should not try humor, Mr..
Gamble. You are not very good at
it."
Mr.. Candles face hardened.
I'll come to the point. Colonel,
he said harshly. "You won't get
across the bridge unless l let you.
The ropes have been cut. They
are now attached to a rope of
vines. The new rope is wound
around the tree next to me and
I hold the end in my hand. If
let 60 of this vine, the bridge COL
lapses. So, I'd put that gun away
if l were you"
The Colonel hesitated.
There is more to it, Colonel
kung," Mr.. Gamble spoke more
calmly. MY guide is on the far
side. and holding up his end the
same way. If you attack me, he
will slash the vine with his dah.
If you should try to harm him,
l will release my end of the vine.
Either way, the bridge falls"
And what will keep the bridge
up. Mr.. Gambler"
MIR. GAMBLE relaxed, but not too
much. That's better" he said
quietly. This is now a toll
bridge. Your price is the rubies.
l offer you safe passage in return
for the rubies. Your time is short;

The Colonel glared at Mr.. Gam

OF Phantom Sayings
by the Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. g..
Authorities maintained official ST.
lence today in their investigation of
the suicide of a University of Ark
ansaS freshman who left a note

Arkansas and Texas officers were

student. H. B. Ooodie) Tennison,
l8, of Texarkana, Ark, with prints
they had that might have been left
by the slayer.
In addition, they faced the task
OF trying to trace Tennison's move
ments since early in 1916, when the
Phantom" shot and killed five per-
sons and wounded another within a
six-week period.
Fingerprints Taken.
Police here took fingerprints of
Tennison before Coroner Edmond
Watson released the body to the
family.
Coroner Watson said Tennison
swallowed poison in his room yes
terday and left a number of notes
and messages. One of them, taken
from strongbox in the youths
room, confessed" Staying two high
school students and a farmer and
attempting to kill the farmers wife.
These three deaths and two
others had been attributed to the
phantom" who kertsthe Texarkana
community in state or nerves"
for weeks.
The note gave no motive for the
acts.
Call Confession Fantastic"
In Texarkana, the brothers of
Tennison, ]. B. Tennison, jr., and
Craig Tennison, bt tn of Memphis,
Tenn, described their brothers
confession" as fantastic. They
expressed belief it all developed
from reading too many comic mag
azines."

that his brother was unfamiliar
with firearms and Craig Tennison
said his dead brother couldn't drive
Q car until he taught him In Par
