BEGIN HERE TOt>AY
Monica Viney, sister of Cap
tain John Hewitt, Cqihmissioner
of Police at Jesselton, British
North Borneo, is engaged to mar
ry Peter Pennington. Pennington
is detailed by the government to
capture Chai-Hung, leader of
The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chi
nese bandits. Major Armitage
comes to Jesselton and announces
that he means to run Chai-Hung
to earth in one week. Hewitt has
Pennington disguise himself as a
Chinese interpreter, and accom
pany Armitage on the expedi
tion.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
“I expect everybody here to re
main in their quarters after lights-,
out and I’ve instructed the gentries
to shoot without question at any
body who is found prowling around
after dark. Our next move is to
get on the track of Chai-Hung with
the least possible Get a half
a-dozen picked men scouting for
traces of the assassins arid report*
to me as soon as anything definite
transpires.”
‘‘Very good, tuan. And you—?”
“I shall remain
There was a fallen tree trunk at
from the squatting bearers and
Major Armitage settled himself
down at the end which appeared to
offer the most shade. The inter
preter glanced back over his shoul
der twice as he crossed to the men,
but the apostle of blood and iron
was pressing tobacco from an oil
skin pouch into an exceedingly new
looking briar and did not look up.
Penington was frankly puzzled
and no a little perturbed* as to the
uncomfortable proximity of the
agents of Chai-Hung. It was one
thing tracking down the bandit by
his own methods—and quite anoth
er scouring the country at the heels
of so unreasonable a leader as Arm
itage. The Yellow Seven wer?
swarming somewhere close at hand,
taking advantage of the shelter the
jungle offered and picking off
those who lagged behind. By this
method they were reducing the
strength of Armitage’s force.
Taking with' him a native ser
geant, he embarked upon a recon-
They were returning a
couple of hours later through a nar
row defile between rocky banks
half hidden by ferns, when a fig-
G.w. C VD
ure appeared on the path pot ten
yards in front of them. Pennington
hand swung round Jo his hip-pocket
but Sergeant Danubin caught his
arm.
“Bi-la, tuan! It is Rabat-Pilai-.”
Pennington stopped dead in his
tracks. The newcomer was he to
whom the man with the Chinese
eyes was wont to refer as his chief
of staff; a short, lithe indivilhial
with an eye and an ear missing and
his mouth slit on either side.
“What is it, Rabat-Pilai?”
. The creature sahfted as. he came
bp.
“Great tuan, I have followed
Chai-Hung to this place. He has
many of his men with him—and
he has taken the white soldier with
the glass eye.”
“You are sure of this?” he de
manded.
“Perfectly, tuan. I came from the
direction of the Tuan-Besar Var
neys’ house—which is by the river,
because of something that a man
had told me. I found the soldiers
and the men who carried the ba
rang; after that I saw the White
lord, who was sitting on a tree. I
did not enter the clearing , but
skirted byway of the forest—and
the thihg happened as I passed. A
man dressed as you are dressed
spoke* to the soldiers, who followed
,4nm presently into the jungle. The
white lord' had fallen asleep with
his head in his hands—and Chai-
Hung came softly.”
“How long ago was this.?”
“Ten minutes, perhaps, not more.
Pennington’s eyes zlazed.
“Sergeant Danudin, round up
those men and follow. Bring all
the provisions you can lay your
hands on. What direction are they
taking, Rabat?”
“Due east, tuan. There are«others
who came with me who could wait
at certain points until the soldiers
found the path.”
As Pennington followed upon the
heels of Rabat-Pilai, he found time
to be sorry for Major J. Lacy Arm
itage and the inevitable failure of
his expedition; he was sorry, too,
that the man who preached effi
ciency could not have been there
at that moment to appreciate the
■ caliber of the network he himself
was fast drawing round Chai-Hung;
little brown, inconspicuous mortals,
each cherishing a special hatred for
their quarry and assisted by a
jungle telegraph coded and adapted
by Chinese Pennington.
At a bend in the track Rabat-
Pilai touched Pennington gently.,
“They are not far ahead, tuan.
They are making for the house in
{he rocks, for Chai-Hung is tired —
and his arm pains him.” '
“They will-not have killed the
white man?”

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
HUDSON-ESSEX MAN
CLAIMS CLIMBING RECORD
All leading records for climbing
Pikes Peak are now held by the
Hudson Essex organization, accord
ing to Frsclk Easterlin. The fast
est time ever made over the his
toric course was- scored by a Hud
son Super-Six in 1916, and Hqdson-
Essex latest victory was just ac
complished by an Essex Special,
driven by Glenn Shultz A report
on these records has just been re
ceived from the factory by W. O.
Easterlin & Son, local Hudson-Es
sex distributors.
“This latest victory .of the Es
sex gives to the Hudson-Essex or
ganization the most prized records
in automobile endurance contests,”
said Mr. Easterlin. rPrevio’usly
Hudson-Essex has held all trans
continental records between New
York and San Francisco—the Es
sex holding the one-way record and
the Hudson Super-Six the round
trip.
“The Essex’s time in the 1923
Pikes Peak climb in which it won
the Penmore trophy, was 18 min-
-5 seconds. This is less
than half a minute slower than the
time of the famous dash made in
1916 by the Hudson Super-Six—
a mark which never has been
equalled. No company has so re
markably consistent a record on
this famous climb through the
clouds.
“In both the Pikes Pea* climb
and in the transcontinental runs,
I the foremost quality is endurance.
These runs are not simply race
track dashes, but are thorough tests
of the real quality which'is built
into the cars. Those factors of
strength which mean victory are
equal value to the average owner
in his everyday driving.”
BELL SYSTEM DOING
CONSTRUCTION WORK
The extensive construction pro
gram which the Bell system has
lender way in Georgia is making
fine progress, according to Paul
Westbrook, superintendent for the
company at Americus.
During the (first six months of
the year additions and iihprove*
menft to the system, costing more
than $1,200,000 were completed,
says Mr. Westbrook.
New work, costing more than
$1,100,000 will be started or fin
ished during the- last half of the
year, making the gross expendi
ture in Georgia during the year
1923 more than $2,300,000.
The greater part of the invest
ment has been made at local tele
phone ■exchanges throughout the
state, although large sums have
been ’pent for extending and im
proving the long: distance service.
The continuing demand for tele
phone service thriughou? the statp
1 espjig. the telephone worker--
■at top speed.
During the six months, ending
June 30, they handled 22,369
telephones, of which 10,956 were
installed, 7,639 taken out and 3-
874 moved from one location to
another. This resulted in a net
gain of 3,217 new telephones
which is three-fourths as many as
were added during the entire year
1922. ,
