REVELATIONS
Lee Chow Gire Madge a Tlirtll of
Magic
There ia an old building upon the
piece of propurty nst to the farm
stead which Is so ramshackle that
even th thrifty owner of the plucc
can find no use for it. Once, years
ago, It wi a harn. A home, which
long since burned down, stood near
It. I think some vein of sentiment
concerning his ancestors has pre
served the ancient building from
being torn dowyi. Children from the
surrounding farms love to come
there and play around the old cel
lar hole, surrounded by lilacs and
yellow daisies those never-falling
sentinels of deserted homes. It was
here that I suspected Lee Chow was
making his headquarters while he
kept up his theatrical watch upon
my movements aa espionage for
which Just now I was distinctly
grateful despite Its absurdity.
From my vantage point Just in
aide the hedge nearest our boundary
line I waited tensely, while the
aound of Lee Chow's whistle, which
I had Just blown, seemed to my
nervous Imagination to echo and re
echo, like thunder, although In
reality the sound was but a feeble
pipe. The high hedge and trees ef
fectively screened the old building
from my sight and I could hear no
rustle or sea any movement of
bushes to Indicate that any one had
heard my signal. But Just as I
raised the whistle to my lips for
another and final blast, a voice
from, the edge said, softly:
"Mlsaee Graham want Lee
Chow?"
I controlled my muscles with dif
ficulty. . I knew l.ee Chow would
mile to himself with-gratified van
ity at .any evidence that he had
Startled: me, so I answered quietly:
"Yes, Lee Chow. I want to ask
you some questions "
The bushes parted cJose to me
and the Chinese stepped out with
a low salaam. The next inslant he
had pressed close to the hedge, so
that he was . invisible to anyone
farther away than a few feet.
"Missee Graham better stand close
to hedge," he said, and there was
in his voice -that curious quality
whjich aeems to demand obedience.
In almost involuntary yielding to it,
I followed his suggestion, feeling
absurdly foolish as I did so, and I

New Phase of
OF A VIFE
, anticipated any further command
I by keeping my voice at so low a
; pitch that it was unnecessary for
lilm to warn me to modulate it.
"Lee Chow, did you know that
the man whom we. saw this morn
ing Is staying a the home of the
Tlcers, our next-door neighbors?"
Ills Voice Inipcrtiirnhle
His voice was as Imperturable as
hl:i faee when he answered:
"Ves. Lee Chow know. Lee Chow
tell other man take him there."
A sense of relief, of safety, en
velope! me like a comforting cloak
on a chilly day. Yet mingled with
It was a curious little, sensation al
most like fear. The Chinese was so
omnl-present, so absolutely the dic
lator of every situation In which
he figured, that I felt as if I were
enmeshed In forcas of which I
knew nothing, and that my part In
the drama Lee Chow appeared to
be staging was that of a super
numerary pushed here and there at
the whim of the director.
T did not need, to ask any more
questions. With a volubility quite
foreign to him he went on:
"Lee Chow want him all time
where he can watch him close. Htm
ver" bad man, and when he find
out he dropped envelope he going
hunt all over for It. But he no
come," the Chinese finished reas
suringly. "Maybe he get far as
house. But Missee Graham blow
whistle good and Lee Chow right on
Job. But Missee Graham better hide
envelope after she show it other
boss lady."
I stared at the Chinese in blank
amazement. He must have had eyes
like the proverbial hawk's or field
glasses and have been watching
every slightest movement of mine
while I talked to "Steve" Other
wise, how could he have seen the
quick movement of my foot In cov-
erlng the little envelope "Steve" ln
i advertently dropped, and my subse
quent palming of the paper under
the pretext of recovering my hand
kerchief? His remark about show
ing it to Lillian was, of course, pure
conjecture, based upon his knowl-
, edge of otir close association. Never

BEGIX HERE TODAY
Pamuel Honeybun, retired Eng
lish countryman, Amis blood in his
rain gauge on the morning of the
murder of
Sir Francis Lathrop. Sir Francis'
daughter, Margaret, had planned to
marry Sir Guy Lathrop against her
father's wish, and Sir Guy Is sus
pected of the murder.
Adrian Klyne, private detective,
"fmployed by Margaret, reads whufu
blood Is found In another gauge at

Here he comes upon a wild fowler's
hut in the marshes, and discovers
Adela Larkln, whose father, Rev.
T.arkin, has previously, reported
finding blood In his rain gauge.
Klyne spies on tho girl in inti

for home on the same train.

her.

"Rather!" rejoined Adela. "I

"Come indoors and tell me all
about i," said Mr. Parkin. For a
clrgym.an he was singularly toler

haps he v an too used to it to be dis
turbed. "Pncle Pilas golnr strong?" be
asked whr-n they wr.i within the,

"A little too strong," replied tin
girl. "I conveyed thu sugg'stion to

such a thing."
"Huh." retorted Digger. "There
really are quite a number of things
von haven't heard about, Peter Rab
bit." Peter admitted that this might be
so. But .tust then he wasn't inter
ested in anything but those pocketg
that belonged to Grubby Gophr.
"Really and trciy, ar.e they on th
outside of his cheeks, Mr. Badger?"
he asked.
"Really and truly they are," re
plied Digger. "They open from the
cu'ide from close by the mouth,
and each pocket Is fur lined."
Peter's eyes were growing-bigger
and bigger. "You mean that those
pockets have hair growing on - the
InoW?' be cried,
"That's lust what T mean," roptid
Disrger "Those are tery handy
pockets. They are so big that they
extend wnv back along his neck.
What Striped Chipmunk can carry
in bis pockeets Is nothing compared
to what Grubby Gopher can carry 1n
his pockets Grubbv is po beauty at
be-sb but when he has thos pockets
stuffed full of food be Is about the
worst looking fellow T knew of."
"How does be put the food" in his
pockets?" demanded peter.
"Pushes it in with bis hands, of
eourse," replied Digger. "Some folks
seem to think that be us'd these
pockets for carrying the dirt out of
his tunnels. But that isn't so. He
pushes the dirt ahead of him, and
so out. His pockets are simply for
carrying food. My, but that fellow
has a short temper. He Is positive
ly ugly."
