~ And still Denis Moorhouse felt
Sopelessly at sea. He glanced
Sack over his shoulders toward the
living room and his half-finished
ffleal, then drew the tumbler from
the arm of his chair and sent the
Soda hissing into the ahber fluid.
All the time, while he strove to es
tablish a mental balance, he felt
fliat the girl’s eyes were fixed on
slim and the mocking light that
played in them made him uneasy.
’ "I am a busy man,” he protest
ed, “and I am tired. I do not yet
understand the motive that has
brought you here.”

rail so that the tightening folds
pf her sarong accentuated the
graceful curves of her form; the

1 could not move. There were
other Chinamen in the jungle, for
I could hear the bushes as they
moved. The man who held the
silver hand carried one arm in a
black cloth and his face was very
evil. After a little while he drew
his arm from the ciotn and thrust
under my eyes the stump where a
hand had been—”
‘‘Which hand was it?” inter
rupted Moorhouse quickly.
"The left, tuan.”
‘‘You are sure of this?”
It had come back to the D. O.’s
memory that Pennington had told
him how one of his men had sev
ered Chai-Hung’s left hand at the
wrist,
"1 have reason to be sure,. be
cause the silver sheath tha£ I lost
was from my left hand. I—who
am afraid of nothing—feared this
man. 'Black Girl,’ the orang-
Chaina said, 'I have more need of
this thing than you, therefore I
shall keep it.’ Presently from the
folds of his coat he produced a
knife. ‘Bring me the head of the
Englishman who sat in the clear
ing when you danced—and you
shall have your hand.’ He walked
away into the trees and it was a
long while before he returned.
‘Listen,’ he said again, ‘There is a
white man whom the natives call
He who sees in the dark. Kill him
—and I will give you hands of
gold—that all other dancers may
envy you.”
The magistrate smiled grimly.
"The Chinaman said that, did
he?”
The girl nodded.
"It is a difficult thing,” she
added gravely, ‘‘for unless I kill
you—l lose the silver hand for
ever and, if I kill you, I lose a
friend!”
“lou will also stand a very good
chance ot being strung up by the
neck for the crows to peck at! Did
he tell you where to take the head
of the white man?”
I must go to a certain house
whole ' they eat opium—and he
will take m e with him to the
orang-China.”
Moorhouse grunted.
"It is not such a difficult thing,
after all,” he told her. "One' day
soon, when I shall tell you, I will
give you a parcel to taka to this
Chinaman. You will say to the
man at the opium house that the
head of the white man is there,
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
but you can only show it to the
orang-China who has the silver
band. He will take you with him
and, at a little distance, I shall
follow carefully. Come to me ev
ery evening until that day.—Good
night!”
She left the rail and come to
ward him hesitantly, her arms out
stretched in front of her.
"I have no home,” she said soft
ly. "Will not the Tuan-Hakim let
me stay?”.
There was a choking sensation
in his throat as Moorhouse avoid
ed her gaze. He shook his head.
“It would be neither good for
you nor for me, little silver hand,’
he stammered. He turned abrupt
ly toward the door of the inner
room to indicate that the palaver
was at an end.
Presently something clattered
to the floor— and the girl was
gone.
He swung slowly round on his
heel and saw the thing that she
had dropped. It was a knife with
a long steel blade and a yellow
handle ornamented with black
dots. He stqoped and recovered
it; as he did so he recognized the
grim sign of the Yellow Seven.
