"He was not jealous when Lily chatted with us,., but when he saw Wah-Wo talking to her one night un der the electric light -by the Joss house, he watched the girl .night and day. She said that she loved him she laughed at him when he offered her marriage so he watched her. Have you got that, Penlow?" "Yes." "Then a day came when Lily was to go to the, country to see her' sis ter that is hat she said to see her sister, and this man went with her to the trains. and' saw her off on her journey. But something told him to watch the next in-coming train, and he did. "And Lily was on it! iie iouowea ner. sne came- straight to Doyers street, heavily veiled, and entered a house that you all know the house with the japer lanterns and red signs. Wah-Wo lives there.

He did not care who saw him he courted dis covery, but no one paid him any at- ; tention, and, as it now appears, no body even saw him. About midnight he went away, leaving the dog crouched at the dead girl's feet, and since then he has moved like a living death among the people of the city, unsuspected, unnoticed by any ex cept me." He paused and looked at us. Tears had quenched the pale flame in his eyes, and the hair clung to his damp forehead. . "That man killed the -woman I loved," he said, "and now I am going to give him up!" Then he rose trem bling. The sleeping dog sighed heavily. . . Caithness bent and touched the massive head, muttering, "Come!" At his touch the" dog raised its head and looked at him with grave eyes. Then, moving toward the. doqr, he whispered again, calling the dog by name; and -the great brute rose stif fly, yawned and slowly followed him out into the night. The iron door . slammed behind them; the damp odor' of fog came from the black street Lynde buried his bead in his hands; McManus leaned heavily on the bar, pale as a corpse.
