There are lew among us, in fact, who would ' not easily be tempted to hazard their entire fortunes at a game of chance.” Chai-Hung sat bolt upright in his high-backed chair and smiled. “So I believe,” returned the Englishman coldly. Now that his limbs were freed he was beginning to Iget over that fe'eling of in jured dignity that had accom panied his capture. “May I ask what you intend doing with me?” It was apparent that the bandit was esually capable of affecting ;deafness. ‘ Hence the Yellow Seven,” he continued. “It is I who decide up on our victims, but the hand that parries out the death-penalty is rarely mine. The Yellow Seven is mixed up with other cards and those who at that moment form my bodyguard draw for it in turn. The thing is donev quite openly and the sign of our society left pinned to the victifn.” The major’s throat had gone suddenly dry. His glance dropped from the broad yellow face to the black sling in which the bandit’s arm re posed. ’ | Chai-Hung began speaking again with a guttural metallic harsh- A Mile-a-Minute Joy Ride ' W- [ Hfc. ‘jj|| Jj ; Jr Z>< I / AN / LOCA *t ' <b* W if PWttNTED BY ZWW JJS?

It’s a Par amount picture. And “Splitting Hairs,” a Sunshine comedy Wednesday, Sept. 12th ness that jarred on Armitage. “Whatever my enemies may have told you, Major Armitage, I am at heart a sportsman and, al though I must frankly confess the insult to my intelligence the na ture of ■ your expedition, against me seemed to imply offended me deeply, there still remains enough' that is good in my nature to ap preciate your daring.’ The eyes that fixed themselves upon Armitage’s monocled countenance glowed like live coals. “I was sorely tempted to return insult for insult— and let you go" freS; for I do not fear you, you poor fool, nor—if this were my only stronghold—would I be afraid you' could find your way here again. I was tempted, I repeat—until I remembered my left hand. It was taken from me as you may have heard, by one of your agents—one Rabat-Pilai. You can hardly blame me, Armi tage, if I tell you I have sworn an any British agent who may fall oath to sever the left hand froq into my hands!” Armitage did not lack courage. He returned the other’s g'ciZC. “I see/’ he said reflectfully: “You propose turning me adrift in unknown teritory minus my hand! And you claim to be a sportsman! I tell you what we’ll do Mr. Chai-Hung. My Chinese in terpreter—Sing-Ho introduced me to a pleasant little game of chance, which should not be un known to you. You will find it on the top of that cupboard where your man deposited my effects. I’ll play you for my hand, Mr. Chai- Jlung! It is the game of the little black and red cube and the brass box! The red shall signify my hand. May I trouble you for my pencil and one of those folded sheets of paper I carried?” The high-backed chair creaked as Chai-Hung met it. “You are a brave man, Major Armitage. We will play this game.” He touched a brass gong at his side and the attendant entered \ “Bring me the game that you took from the English gentleman, the pencil and his note-book.” Why hear the buzzing of their 'y) wings, Why contract fever from their f stinas?

Round the box itself he marked a square and lifted the lid to show the cube resting firmly in its slot in the liner portion. He slid back the. top and turned the box over and over between his fingers. “The red will face this pquare,” declared Chai-Hung, indicating the section with a fingernail of enor mous length. Taking the cover between fing er and thumb, Armitage lifted slowly. lie paused midway, con scious that the man who sat op posite had turned sharply- toward the door. Suddenly the Oriental sprang to his feet—his whole be ing consumed with fury—and clutched with his single hand at a sword that hung from a gilded screen. “We do not continue the game, Major Armitage,” he hissed, “be cause your men are at my gates,” He swung the weapon aloft. “It is they you must thank for this!” Throwing all dignity to the winds, Major James Lacy Armi tage dived under the table, and the blow descended upon its upper •surface with terrific force. As Chai-Hung strove to disengage the weapon, a bullet shattered a mir or behind him. Armitage crawled from hjs re fuge to find the room empty, the sentry gone and the amiable fea tures of the interpreter— Sing-Ho —regarding him throwgh the win dow. Still crouching on his hands and knees he blinked up at the face. “Sing-Ho!” Pennington smiled. “Or, in other words,” he mur mured sweetly, “the man who is bungling this Yellow Seven affair hopelessly—Chinese Pennington!” “The Silver Hand,” the next epi sode of this gripping series, will start in next issue.

The Hudson brothers were the first of a number of defendants to be arrested at Macon, and since their incarceration cases have been made against J. F. Alexander, a Macon grocer; Dr. C. A. Yarbor ough, a dentist; J. £. Bloodwoorth, a traveling salesman; J. D. Pat rick, an official of the Macon Mu nicipal court, and W. P. DeLamar, a traveling salesman. J. P. Dur kee, official organizer of the Ku Klux Klan, at Macon, was arrested last night in connection with the floggings, and officials there de clare Durkee to be the “big man” of the entire alleged consipracy. He was sitting in the office of Sheriff J. R. Hicks, of Bibb county, “awaiting further developments” in the flogging cases when placed un der a’frest. THE STORY SENT OUT FROM MACON MACON, Sept. 11.—Sitting in the office of Sheriff J. R. Hicks, Jr., last night at 8 o’clock “await ing further developments” in flog ging cases, J. P. Durkee, official organizer of the Ku Klux Klan in Macon and Bibb county, was ar rested on two warrants charging assault and battery and rioting. Durkee’s arrest on the eve of -the •trial of at least one of eight other men charged with complicity in the floggings came as a surprise to M. O. Dunning, chief of staff of the Ku Klux in Georgia, who is now registered at the Hotel Dempsey “to assist the authorities in bring ing an end to flogging activities in Bibb 'County.” When Durkee •was arrested he remarked, “Kuh, well I’ll be dog.” Simultaneously with the arrest of Durkee came dispatches from Atlanta implicating the entire or ganization of the Georgia Klan in the flogging of R. F. Mills, a for mer Macon chiropodist. The dis patch quotes an interview with a former Klan employe in which /he charges that Dunning has Veen sent to Macon to “save the Klan’s hide.” The 'interview with .Rhodes McPhail, former Klan publicity man, also> charges that official re ports of the flogging of Mills on j two occasions were made to Klan headquarters in Atlanta. “If Solicitor Roy Moore doesn’t i keep a sharp eye on M. O. Dun ning and a few other ‘busy bodies’ from Atlanta headquarters of the Ku Klux K'an, his prosecution of men held in connect’on with the Macon f oggings is na'ole to be s s S Cures Malaria, Chills « sY or Bilious Fever, adv VKy an j Fever, Dengue manipulated for a ‘vindication’ of the Klan and net the law little or no ■ satisfaction,” McPhail is quoted as saying. Continuing the former Klan employee declared: “Evans has sent Dunning to Ma con to save the Klan’s hide. Before these two are done'-with the cases, propaganda will be going forth that the ‘Klan, as usual, ran down the criminals and upheld the maj esty of the law.’ “I don’t know anything about several of the more recent flog gings at Macon, but I do know that R. F. Mills deserves every assist ance for obtaining justice that the courts can possible give .him. His case was one of the most atrocious I’ have ever heard of. “Mills was flogged for the sec ond time by the Klan one night in November, The next morn ing a representative of the Macon Klan came to Atlanta to report the incident to headquaters. He had evidently handled the matter, pret ty well because the usual denial of responsibility of knowledge ot the affair was issued and the usuar re ward for apprehension of the flog gings was offered. “It seemed that Mills’ life had been made so miserable since his first flogging that he had his law yer write Governor Hardwick"'an appeal for protection. A few days later a stranger called on him, said he was from the governor’s office, and assured him he would be pro tected. It was a night or two aft er this that Mills was given the second flogging. He then com municated with Governor Hardwick by telephone and was told by the chief executive that hfe had never heard of his case until that mo ment and that on representative from his office bad been sent to see him. “My information “bnut the case came from a reliable soure.e and is interacting.
