seemed to her that she was tho

For a moment she funded herself
In tho clusp of strong, possessive

tho fontures of her ardent lover,
but as his Hps were drnwn In hers
tho adoration In Ills eyes suddenly
changed to liprror. She could reel

a cruel, relentless volco saying with
brutal finality that lovo was not for

Shoawoko wllh a slart and leaped
out of bod. Trembling, she stood In
tho darkness. Mochanlcally, her
fingers touched tho snitch of the
tablo lamp. Alleen put her hands
to her throat, looked about her In
terror. Of emirso sho was alone In
tho room, except for her own Imago
In tho dressing-room closet mirror.

years of peace under an Irish boss.
The occasion M the tenth anni

oriental settlement In the western
hemisphere.
Until ten year ago opium i-ell-Ing,
tong wars and the sale of .slavo
girls were rather common In China
town. 1'ollcenicn did not last long.
It was not uncommon for one of
them to work In Chinatown a few
montb.s and bbmsoin out with a
bouse full of oriental furniture In
laid with Jade and mother of pearl.

When lin o'llrlon, now chief
of ihe wtate department of penol

ed a lull, husky, smiling Irishman
who yeat'B before had Induced blm
to come Into the police depart
ment. That man was Manion. He
always had been poor, and for thh'j
and other rea.son.s everybody fig-1
li red lie must be honest. His fists
had cuffed so many crooks, despite
their guns, everybody knew he wa.s
fearless. '
Said Dan lo Jack: "You're it.'1
"(. K.. chief," was .Munlon's re
ply, and .Manion was given tho
rank of detective sergeant and j
Ida I in charge of the Chinatown
police detail, Ihe "toughest Job In.

In his pockets, .Manion witlked up;

If you do you will be ar-

II w-im bard to believe. The
"highbinders'1 or killers were sol
surprised they did not ui. leash'
their guns until IU1M. three years
after Manion "look over." Then
the Manion smile turned to a;
frown and Chinatown shuddered, j
