So Mother Graham had made an ap pointment to meet the mysterious tramp in the woodland hack of the house. Subconsciously, of course, I had known this ever since her impera live demand for one hundred dollars which 1 had brought her hut a few hours before, and which even while asleep she clutched in the pocket of her gown. I had resolved also that ! would go with her. But Mother Graham had told me nothing concern ing any such appointment, nor had T breathed my knowledge to her. How in the name of all that was occult and mysterious had the Chinese found out Ibis thing? No time was given me for conjec i ture, however, for T.ee Chow was spoking again, softly, but with a note of finality In his monotonous voice: "Mlssee Graham not walk any more out here, not have children walk nut here, nut have old boss lady walk out here till tomorrow 1» o'clock. I made the mental comment that Ibis must he the hour Mother Graham had planned for her appointment be fore 1 answered him. “No.” I promised sincerely. "No body will come out here until then.” "That ver’ good.” He permitted him self a little break In the monotone which had Invested his words. "Now will boss lady blow whistle again, pi pane'.’" With the feeling that T was cutting a rather ridiculous figure, I put the whistle to my lips and blew it.

When they had come within a few paces, he halted them with an impera tive upraised hand, and proceeded to harangue them in ids own language, with gestures toward me which ad mitted of no interpretation save the premise that they were being sworn into my ser vices whenever I should need them. The little performance was Illuminative of one thing, to my mind, and that was Lee Chows su premacy over the other two t hinese. That they recognized him as one with authority was plainly to he seen. He finished his talk abruptly, and waved bis had in dismissal. The other two men plodded off, and Lee Chow turned to me. "They go back to laundry now.* he said simply, and I almost choked in the endeavor to keep from my lips the laughter which I knew would moi tally offend the man. "You surely come with old boss lady tomorrow?" he asked, and at my assent, he nodded in grave approval. Missee Graham see big white man. if she think all right let old boss lady give man hundred dollars. If Mis~'*» Graham not think it all right, make old boss lady keep money.

Thank you so much." "Missee Graham no thank me." he said, shaking his head. "Thank big boss man. He say: ‘Lee Chow, you go, stay by Missee Graham all time she need you. If she need you some time, and you die, no* matter, you die, allee same me, so she keep safe.’ " Through the careful monotone of the Oriental's voice throbbed a note which 1 fancied I recognized as an echo of Hugh Grantland s well-remem be red tones. It was as if my old friend were speaking to me through the lips of the (‘hinese. The idea caught at my throat, and with some thing very like a sob choking my ut terances. I extended both hands toward the impassive man standing before me. "Lf,e Chow"’ T said imperatively. "Tell me, you must, what has hap pened to Major Grantland?" He lifted his eyec -nd looked at me steadily. "Why Missee Graham want to l know?" he inquired. The question e< hoed and re-echoed I in rny brain before I answered it. I I hesitated to put into words the real reason for my query. ‘Why. he was a very dear friend of mine." I parried. Naturally I am anxious to know where h* Is ' I,*»e Chow shook his head slowly.
