Read ing between the lines, you're all scared to death of this Chai-Hung Jellow because you have every new fresh on your memory. You mentioned the area of Bor neo just now. That was very little bearing in the present question, because more than half the place is under Dutch management and the Yellow Seven confine their activi ties. to British North Borneo,’ the area -of which—if considerable— isrcertainly not vast.” Ke emitted a iittle, self-satisfied chuckle. —■ tF)ve minutes later, when the ma jqrhftd retired to the spare-room, the head of Chinese Pennington Was thrust through the office win dow followed almost immediately Ify-that, of Monica. “Oh, I say, Jack, isn't it perfect ly priceless.

I can’t allow Armitage . to make a fool of himself over Chai-Hung . Penn’s got to act as guide, philosopher and friend to this already misguided lunatic. He’s to change into suitable gear for the part and gently lead this disciple of blood and iron into all those portions of the island where the bandit’s least likely to be.” “Ye gods!” murmured Penning j teon. “Is this stunt going in in- I definitely?” . “Until he gets so confoundedly I fed-up with'the entire concern that he decides to chuck his hand in. i At any rate, he’ll be back for ra : tion wffiiin a week.” “Before we start,” insisted the I other, “there are just one or two , points I’d like to mention. This | Chinese interpreter of yours is go i ing to be of the high-brow variety; ; not one of the sort, you under stand, that squats round camp-fires with dirty hearers. He’s entitled, moreover, to a tent to himself— and full rations.” Hewitt grinned. “I think I can manage that for you.” Chinese Pennington carried out instructions to the letter. It was no easy matter to avoid Chai-Kung’s band of brigands, because a crowd such as Armitage insisted on tak ing with him could not fail to at tract attention. There were other difficulties that beset their toubled path through the stunted jungle-wastes, difficulties for which Armitage was directly responsible and which he treated with such fatuous un- I What Is Better to Eat Than First Class Meat? j You get that at Bragg’s We buy ; the best.

To gether with his other faults—Ma jor Lacy Armtiage lacked grace. He was the exact opposite to that type of British officer men will fol low to the ends of the earth, tak ing the smooth with the rough of it, recognizing errors but still fol lowing, drawn on by their leader’s personality and persistent optimism One by one the bearers began to drop out anjl on the morning of the fourth day it was apparent that two of the native soldiers had de serted. The bearers took their load of supplies with them—-and • the two defauters were eventually tracked to a clearing where they lay side by side, their throats slit from ear to ear, and the sign, of the Yellow Seven pinned to their breasts. It stands to Armitage’s credit that he did not turn a hair. The discovery had,as. a matter of fact, the opposite effect to that which Pennington ha dimagined. It mere ly whetted the other’s appetite and encouraged him to push forward, unmindful of the fact that he was already four day’s march from his original base—with about two and a half days rations still in hand. “We’ll get him yet, Sing-Ho,” he declared. “1 may as well inform you now we’re on the subject that up to this moment I'd regarded you as an unholy fraud.” The interpreter evinced consid erable surprise. “A fraud, tuan?” he echoed blankly. “I’m not a man accustomed to making mistakes. It has been grad ually dawning upon me that you were out to earn your money eas ily: You never intended to en counter this countryman of yours and you had fully made up your mind to profit by my unfortunate ignorance of local languages. I have a habit of inspecting the camp before turning in. On three occa sions recently I’ve found your tent empty. (Continued) COLUMBUS BOND ISSUE POSTPONED FOR Yr AR COLUMBUS, Sept. B.—The pro posed campaign for $900,000 in bonds to make civic improvements in Columbus has been postponed until next year. A slight increase in tax rates would be necessary to float the isssue.’it was stated, so the city commission decided to post pone the campaign until 1924. INTERESTING ANNOUNCE MENT. An intefesting announcement comes from the management of the Rylander in that it has booked for early showing “30 Days,” a Wal lace Reid Paramount production made before the sad death of that popular star. “30 Days” has never been shown in Americus and movie fans will no doubt welcome the op portunity of seeing for the last time time one of the most popular actors that ever appeared on the screen. j BRILLIANT CAST. Fred Niblo has assembled a bril liant cast for his production of James Forbe’s great American play, “The Famous Mrs. Fair,” a coming atraction at the Rylander. Myrtle Stedman has the titular role, with Huntly Gordon, Marguerite de la f Motte, Cullen Landis, Ward Crane, I Carmel Myers and Helen Ferguson | among the screen celebrities who I will play the other important char acters. i Socfieitx. 00000000 O VICE-VERSA o 00000000 Long hair, short pt?hts, the men all wore, A hundred years ago, But now, they wear their trousers long, And “strut” al pompadour.
