“Thanks,” he whispered huskily.
“It’s uncommon good of you —and
1 appreciate it. It won’t be long
new. 1 swore I’d wait until I’d got
Chai-Hung by the heels—and, by
heaven!-—I mean to have him this
tin e. You understand the most of
me. Jack, my character that even I
wasn’t aware of—until 1 met her.
The white men that the curse of
Chinaman has murdered in cold
blood lie heavily on my soul. In
a queer-sort of way; I feel diectly
responsible for everything Chai-
Hung has done since I first came
here. The feeling has grown upon
me until it’s become an obsession.
I’m no longer the instrument of a
European Power, using my facial
peculiarities and knowledge of
dialects to wipe out a Chinese fac
tion'; It’s Pennington against
Chai-Hung, his life or mine.’’ He
paused f.or a moment, the muscles
of his face twitching, the point,; of
his fingers pressed together. ‘‘l’ve
worked damn hard since I came
here. I’ve had a score of identities.
I’ve posed as a coolie, a Dusun
trader, a mandarin, a rickshaw-boy
—anything—everything—l’ve been
in‘the hands of Chai-E’ung’s mer
cenaries—-and wriggled out of them
again. I’ve held -the bandit twice—■
and lost him because I was alone
and the odds against me were too
great.” His eyes blazed with a
strange light. “But I’ve got him
this time, Jack because the luck is
on my side at last.”
He broke off, trembling with
emotion, and the Commissioner, ob
serving, and the Commissioner,
observing him curiously, saw that
great beads of perspiration stood
out on his temples.
“Where is he?” he asked quietly.
Pennington was clipping the
stray ends of tobacco from n
freshly rolled cigaret.
“In a lone hut in a gully with a
wall of solid rock behind him and
as many of youi- agents as I could
muster watching, every possible ap
proach”.

| Still the persistent optimist,” he
-aid grimly. “How many times have
I y< v drawn in ypur net—cnly to
find that Chai-Hung has escaped
it?”
“True, oh King! And yet, old son
I’ve got Cha-Hung! He’s down with
fever and none of the followers
who stilt stand by him dare shift
: him—if they could. A queer thing
I that, Jack! He who has successfully
I defied every effort of a white civ
i ilization to entrap him, has all but
succumbed to the common enemy
of us all!”
The Commissioner bent forward
until the box on which he sat tilted
dangerously.
“How do you know all this?”
“I’ve seen him!”
Chinese Pennington blew out a
, thin wreath of blue smoke and
I watched it as it ascended roofward.
“I scouted round until I bribed
I one of Chai-Hungs men to take me
to his lair. It was a mighty tough
I proposition, and if the feller had
guessed for a moment who I was—
he’d have thrown in, his hand. I
pitched a yarn that I had heard of
the great bandit and had come all
the way from Singapore to settle a
dispute that had arisen as to wheth
er such a man as«Chai-Hung exist
ed at all. He took me to be a Chi
nese magnate with more money
than sense, and consented—on the
condition I went alone and unarm-
I cd. I peered through a conven
ient crack where the. timbers had
worked apart. Chai-K’ung lay on
1 a sort of stretcher. I saw enough to
satisfy me that there could be no
possible deception. There were a
dozen or so of his followers in the
room and a pack of Chinese play
ing earns spread face downward on
the table.”
I “I know," broke in Hewitt grim
ly. “They were drawing for the
5 ellow Seven. I’m not likely to for.
get the time when you pulled me
out of a tight corner, when they’d
got me and were drawing lots for
the pleasure of assassinating me.
Go on.”

THE PLAY
There are runners on first and
second base and two are out. The
batsman hits sharply to left field.
The runner on second crosses the
plate while the runner on first
reaches third base and the bats
man second on the hit.
The runner originally on first
base, In going from first to third
on the hit, failed to touch second
base. The slip was noticed by the
second baseman of the team in the
field, alos the base umpire.
The second baseman called for
the ball, touched that base, and
appealed to the umpire for a ruling.
The umpire out the run
ner who failed to touch second
while advancing from first to third
on the hit of the batsman. This
makes the third out, retiring the
side.
Does the run score? Now is the
batsman’s effort scored?
THE INTERPRETATION
When the runner on first failed
to touch second base while advanc
ing to third, he made a force play
possible at second. When the ball
was thrown there and the umpire
ruled the runner out, it made a
f orce play for a third out.
The rules state that no run can
score on a play in which the third
out is a force play. The careless
ness of the, base runner so made
this play, therefore the run does
not count.
In a like manner, the Batsman
who apparently made a two-base
hit, loses his hit, as the rules state
the batsman cannot be credited
with a hit when his drive results in
a force play.
