CHAPTER XIX
Meanwhile the doctor, upon
returning to his office, found Ah
Cum in the waiting room.
“Why, hello, Ah Cum! What’s
the trouble?”
Ah Cum took his hands from
his sleeves. “I should like to
know where Mr. Spurlock has
gone-”
“Did he owe you money?”
“Oh, no!”*
“Then why do you wish to
know ?”
Ah Gmn pondered. I have
a client who is very much inter
ested in Mr. Spurlock. lie was
here shortly after the young
man was taken ill.”
“Ah. What was this man?”
“A detective from the States.”
“Why didn’t he arrest Mr.
Spurlock then?”
“I imagine that Mr. O’Hig
gins is rather a kindly man- lie
couldn’t have taken Mr. Spur
lock back to IIong-Kong with
him, so he considered it would
he needless to give an addition
al shock. He asked me to watch
Mr. Spurlock’s movemcts and
report progress. lie admitted
it would bore him to dally her1;
in Canton, with the pleasures of
IIong-Kong >o close.”
The doctor caught the irony,
and he wanned a little. “I’m
afraid I must decline to toll you.
Do you know what Spurlock
has done?”
“Mr. O’Higgins did not con
fide in me- lint he told me this
much that nj matter, how far
Mr. Spurlock went, it would not
be far enough.”
A detective. The doctor pac
ed the room half a dozen times.
How easily an evil thought could
penetrate a normally deeent
mind! All he had to do was to
disclose Spurlock’s destination,
and in a few tuonths Ruth would
be free. Frtr it was but logical
that she would seek a divorce
on the ground that she had un
knowingly married a fugitive
from justice. MeCliutock would
be on hand to tell Her how and
where to obtain this freedom, lie

paretnly incurious Chinaman
“Your detective has been re
miss in his duty; let him suffer
for it.”
“Personally, I am neutral,”
said All Cum. “ I wish merely
to come out of this bargain hon
ourably- It would make the
young wife unhappy.”
“Very.”
“There was a yacht in the
river?”
“I have nothing to say.”
“By the name of The Ti
gress ?' ’
The doctor smiled, but shook
his head. He sent a speculative
glance at the immobile yellow
face. Was Ah Cum offering him
an oportunitv to warn Spur
lock? But should he warn the
boy? Why not lot him imagine
himself secure? The thunderbolt
would be launched soon enough.
“I haven’t a word to say, All
Cum, not a word.”
“Then I wish you good
night.”

telegraph office, and his mes

a description of The Tigress
Spurlock had been taken aboard
that yacht with the Kanaka
crow, because The Tigress was
the only ship marked for de
parture that night. Ah Cum was
not a sailor, but be knew liis
water-front. One cf bis chair
coolies had witnessed the trans
portation of Spurlock by
stretcher to the sampan in the
canal. There were three other
ships at anchor;* but as two
would be making Shangai and
one rounding to Singapore two
days hence, it was logically cer
tain that no fugitive would seek
haven in one of these.
But whither The Tigress was
bound or who the owner was lay
beyond tli.e reach of Ah Gum's
deductions. He did not particu
larly care. It was enough that
Spurlock had been taken aboard
The Tigress.
He wisely refrained from
questioning th' manager of the
Victoria. He feared to an
tagonize that distinguished per
son- The Viet ria was Ah C urn’s
J
broad and butter.
The telegram dispatched, his
obligation cancelled, Ah Cum
proceeded homeward, chuckling
occasionally. The Yale snirit!
James Boyle O’Higgins was,
as the saying goes, somewhat ont
of luck. Ah Cam’s wire reached
the HongKong Hotel promptly
enough; biit O’Higins was on
board a United States cruiser,
witnessing a bout between a
British sailor and a sergeant in
the U. S. Marines. It was a
Capital diversion; and as usual
the Leatherneck bested the
Britisher, in seven rounds. O’
Higgins returned to town and
made a night of it, nothing very
wild, nothing very desperate- A
modest drinking bout which had
its windup in a fan-tan huose
over in Kowloon, where O’Hig
gins tussled with varying for
tune until five in the morning.
When he was given the tele
gram he flew to the Praya, en
gaged the fast motor-boat he
had previously bespoken against
the need, and started for the
Macao Passage, with the vague
hope of speaking The Tigress,
lie hung round those broad
waters from noon until three and
realized that he had embarked
upon a wild-goose chase. Sfill,
his conscience was partly satis
fied- He made IIong-Kong at
dusk: wet, hungry, and a bit
groggy for the want of sleep;
but lie was in no wise discourag
ed. The girl was in the game
now, and that narrowed the cir
cle.
The following morning found
him in the doctor’s waiting
room, a black cigar turning un
lighted in his teeth. When the
doctor came in—he had just
finished his breakfast—O’Hig
gins rose and presented his card.
Upon reading the name, the doc
tor’s eyebrows went up.
“I rather fancy, as you
Britishers say, that you know
tlie nature of my visit?”
“I’m an American.”
“Fine!” said 0’Higgins, jovi
ally. “Wo won’t have any
trouble understanding each
other; same language. There’s
nothing on the card to indicate
it, but I’m a detective.”
O’Higgins threw out bis chest,
gave it a pat, and smiled- This
smile warned the doctor not to
under-estimate the man. O’Hig
gins was all that, the doctor had
imagined a detecteive to be: a
bulky policeman in civilian
clothes. The blue jowl, the fat
lidded eyes—now merry, now
alert, now tungsten bard—the
bullet head, the pudgy fingers
and the square-toed shoes were
all in conformation with the doc
tor’s olden mental picture.
“Yes; I know I look it,” said
0’Higgins, amiably.
The doctor laughed. But ho
sobered instantly as lie recollect
ed that O ’Higgins had found
Spurlock once. Journeying blind
ly half way across the world,
this man had found his quarry.
“I never wear false whiskers,”
went on 0’Higgins. “The only
disguise I ever put on is a dress
suit, and I look as natural as a
pig at a Mahomedan dinner.”
O’Higgins was disarming the
doctor.
“'"on’t you sit down?”
“I beg your pardon! Como
into the consultation office”;
and the doctor le i the way.
‘What is it you want of me?”
“All you know about this
young fellow Spurlock.”
“Wlmt has he done?”
“He has just naturally peeved
his Uncle Sam. Now, you know
where he is bound.”
“Did Ah Cum advise you?”
“ Ho did pretty well for a
Chinaman. But that’s his Ameri
can education. Now, it won't do

me at first glance. You see, we
guys bump up against so much
of the seamy side that we look
'’pen everybody as guilty until
proved innocent, \»hich is hind
ide-to. The second look told me
l was wrong.”
“Urn going to put one ques
tion,” interrupted the doctor.
“Was there any other woman
back there in the States?”
“Nary a female. Oh, they are
married fast. What are you go
ing to tell met”
“Nothing.” But the doctor
softened the refusal by smiling.
“For the sake of the girl. Well,
I don’t blame you on that
ground. If the boy was legging
it alone
“I’m a doctor. I took him out
of the hands of death. Unless
he has killed someone. I sha’n’t
utter a word.”
* “Killed someone?” O’Higgins
laughed. “He wouldn’t hurt a
rabbit.”
“You won’t tell me what he
has done?”
“If you’ll tell me where he’s
heading.”
“You can give me a little of
his history, can’t you? Some
thing about his people?”
“Oh, his folks were all right.
Ilis father and mother are gone
now. Rich folks, once- The boy
had all kinds of opportunity; but
it’s the old story of father mak
ing it too easy. It’s always hard
work for a rich man’s son to
stand alone. Then you won’t tell
me where he’s going?”
“I will tell you six months
from now.”
Prolonging the misery. Un
less he deserts the girl, he won’t
he so hard to find as formerly.
You see, it’s like this. The boss
says to me: ‘Higg, here’s a guy
we want back. He’s down in
Patagonia somewhere.’ So I go
to Patagonia- I know South
America and Canada like the
lines in my hand. This is my fivst
venture over here. The point is,
I know all the tricks in finding
a man. Sure, I lose one occa
sionally—if he stays, in New
York. But if he starts a long jog,
his name is Dennis. You may
not know it, but it’s easier to
find a guy that’s gone far than
it is when he lays dogo in little
old New York.”
“You had Spurlock once.”
O'Higgins grinned. “Women
are always balling up and mud
dling clean cases. If this girl
hadn’t busted into the game,
Spurlock would still be at the
hotel.”
The doctor was forced to ad
mit the troth of-this- Ruth out
of the picture, he wouldn’t have
concerned himself so eagerly in
regard to Spurlock’s departure.
“I’m sorry, Mr. O’Higgins,
but I decline to give you the
least information.”

ed the scarlet.band on his per
fect o. “And I’ll bet a doughnut
that boy in his soul is crazy to ,
have it over with Well-born,
well-educated; those arc the lads
that pay in 'full.”
“You’re a philosopher, too.
I’ll tell you something. One of
the reasons why I decline to talk
is this: that boy’s punishment
will be enough.”
“That’s not my game. They
order me to get my man, and I

“As the day is long.”
“Didn’t know but what I’d
been out-bid. I offered him a

Fifty in advance. This morning
I met him at the dock, and he
wouldn’t take the other fifty. A
cpieer nut- Imagine any one on
this side refusing fifty bucks!
Well, I’ll be toddling along.
Don’t feel fussed upon my ac
count. I get vour side all right.
H’m!”
Over the desk, on the wall,
was a map of the South Pacific
archipelagoes, embossed by a
number of little circles drawn in
red ink. O’Higgins eyed it
thoughtfully.
“That’s your hunting
ground,” said the doctor.
“It’s & whale of a place. Ten
thousand islands, and each one
good for a night’s rest. Why,
that boy could hide for thirty
years—without the girl. She’s
my meal-ticket. What are those
little- red circles?” 0’Higgins
asked, rising and inspecting the
map. A film of dust lay upon
it; the ink marks were ancient.
For a moment O Higgins had
hoped that the ink applications
would he recent. “Been to those
places?”
“No. Years ago I marked out
an intinerary for myself; but the
trip never materialized. Too
busy.”
“That’s the way it goes. Well,
I’ll take myself off. But if I
were you, I shouldn’t warn
Spurlock. Let him have his
honeymoon- So long.”
For a long time after 0’Hig
gins had gone the doctor rocked
in his swivel chair, his glance di
rected at the map. In all his life
he had never realized a dream;
but the thought had never be

New European Science Gives
Rules for Character
Analysis
Berlin.—A new "science" Is de
veloping in Europe whose devotees
claim they’re able to tell a person's
character from the teeth—their num

and peculiarities.
The principal, general rules foi
such a character analysis are given
as follows:
The man who opens his lips slight

teetih are visible is at) open, agree
able person. The man, however, who
draws his lips tightly together and
seemingly seeks to hide his teeth,
Is untrustworthy.

weak of will and easily led. A wo
man with too many teeth is talkative
and a bore.
People with a fourth big molar are
dangerous or criminal.
Women with very irregular upper
teeth lack moral balance. A Russian
criminologist is cited as having found
that 40 per cent- of w'oman slayers
and 58 per cent, of women thieves he
examined had abnormalities on their
upper teeth.
Women whose upper tcetli pro
trude far over the lower ones are
quarrelsome, cunning and revenge
ful. Small, white teeth, set close
together indicate their possessor is
mean and spiteful. The same char
acteristics are possessed by peopip
whose eyeteeth are narrow from the
gums to the top. but then spread a
bit.
If the eyeteeth are Imbedded very
deeply, they indicate unusurtf energy
and perseverance.
If the eyetooth Is broad near thi
gums and pointed at the tip, it Indi
cates that its owner can i>o trusted
to the limit.
A preponderance of upper teeth
over the lower ones point towards
thoughtfulness and high mental ca
vacity.

My husband consulted our neigh

would not be advisable to call in

said: “You do not need a doctor in
this case. Get a jar of Resinol Oint

and have your wife use them ac
cording to directions — they will
'beat everything else a hundred
ways.” So my husband bought the
Resinol products and hopefully
brought them home.
My skin was so tender and sore
that I could not touch water to it,
so I cleansed it gently first with
pure olive oil and then applied the
Resinol. I used a soft handkerchief
that night for protection. In the
morning, I bathed it gently with
warm water and Resinol Soap,
rinsing off with tepid water, and I
could hardly believe that such a
miracle of healing could occur dur

had filmed over and now looked
only like a bad case of sunburn. I
kept my face anointed with Resi
