Yu'an Hee See. leader of International thieves, is at Jo Lung's. He sends men after Norwich and Keatney, one of whom he realises must have picked up the notebook.

Freedom for Elders. A great deal has been said and written about letting children have tleir right of freedom of action and ideas. It is not they alone that must have this privilege. Parents, when they get older are often ruled with rods of iron by the children who were themselves granted freedom. This ruling of elders is often under the guises of affectionate care, and a patronizing kindness and it sometimes becomes a tyranny, especially over mothers. Such situations are sider what were the reasons underlying the invitation. The young woman said her friends thought the situation strange, and she feared they blamed her for not having her mother with her. Such is certainly a mistake.
