so s low that hat it could not possibly be heard by the man opposite us u but distinctly audIble to the two small smal boys Hush he said And then for the space pace of several seconds second we all al stood motionless wa watching hig hopeful that we were all aU securely concealed by the underbrush The figure of the Chinese Chinee was was- wa also al motionless He was wa like lie p a graven image im Ira- i. i age I thought as a he stood silhouetted against the trees tres behind him hm Hugh something into pressed presed my hand land Watch his hi eyes eye he murmured and andI i I put the small smal field glass gla he had given me up to my eyes eye adjusted it i and ad with fingers figers that I could not keep kep quite steady held it while I looked at the eyes eye of the man opposite us u. u Those eyes were by no means motionless mo mo- I saw when the te lenses lenes of ot the glass glas had brought the yellow face so close to me that tat I could see every line lie liend and nd wrinkle of of it i. i Those Tose black beady eyes were roving all al around the trees tree that hat tat formed the nat natural ral wall wal enclosing enclosing ing ng the te little glade What is I he doing doig

first circling scrutiny I noticed no other movement movement But a second and nd more searching sweep of the glasses glasse made me rae certain certai that there here was stealthy movement in ia the underbrush a few yards yard to the le leof left of us u. u Without lowering the glasses I spoke to t o Hugh in the same noiseless fashion that hat he had used Something is i moving a little to lo the te left eft of us us I said about 50 feet to the he left let letHe He put out his hand had and took the glasses from me i Watch the Chinese Chiese he said Tell Ten me If he moves Another Intruder
