"Nor do I." agreed Wu. with I shrug. "We must. all pay fcr oui mistakes. Mr. l-lavelock has paid-- and my man will pay. Does that satisfy you?"

”No," said Dale flatly. "I must be there to see the sentence carried out. You will thm give me a reliable escort to take Mrs. 1-ltweiock and myself as far as Cl'iu.nklng."

Wu raised his eyebrows.

"You intend after all to run away from Tim Full" he suggested. with the suspicion of a. sneer.

"No," repeated Dale." and you ought to know as much! Mrs. Have- lock can't stay here in the circum- starices. But I'll be back within a -week. And if you or any of your rufflans have as much as set a foot in Tan Fu while I'm away. I'll raise and arm a party myself and send you all to blazes! Understand?"

Wu sighed softly.

"True words, we say in China, are not fine, Fine words are not true. Your words are not fine. I under- stand."

"Very well. I shall ride out to your camp this evening."

"I shall be honoured to see you," said Wu Tso Ling.

He saluted gravely: bowed his head oeremoniousiy towards the door behind which lay Gerald I-laveicck's body; saluted again, and walked out to his pony.

CHAPTER XXIII

AFTER A MURDER

The twenty-four hours immedi- ately ensuing did little to clarify the situation for him. of Sheila he saw nothing, for Janet James im- mediately took charge of the girl. forgetting everything except the fact that she was a woman and a woman who had suffered what on any count must have proved a fear- ful shock. The missionary himself had hurried over to help Leslie get. the hcuse in order, and attend to Gerald's burial.

with James. Leslie had had Something of a dispute. The padre refused to countenanct 1eslie's in- sistence on the hanging of Gerald's murder. He quoted scripture and was not pleased when Leslie retort- ed with "an eye for an eye." He maintained that the execution would do no good. and might justi- fy Wu in taking extreme measures by way of retaliation. But Leslie was not to be moved. He snatched four hour's sleep in his clothes and rode off into the sunset. his jaw set like granite, his brain in the most exasperating confusion,

During his ride he came to the conclusion that the missionary was probably right. But. when he reached tVu's camp the gua.rd's body was already dangling from the branches of the nearest tree. and the General greeted him with the blandest of smiles.

"Your escort will be resdy for you at ten in the morning." he assured Leslie.

And there was nothing for the latter to do. but. eicpress his satis- faction. and ride back to his house ln an extxrameiy bad temper in- deed.

As he tossed rest- lessly on the bed which had been Gerald's. Leslie could have sworn that the boy was still somewhere about the house. He cursed himself for a fool. He counted sheep. He did a crossword puzzle in a three

Finally he fell into an uneasy slumber, troubled with fantastic nightmares, and it was a little after nine in the morning when he awoke. He dressed and shaved hurriedly. and was amazed when at last. he entered the sitting-room to find Sheila sitting there. A novel icy open on her lap. she looked tired but calm. But. her eyes were big, as if unshed tears were not. very far away.

'Great . West Life Business in

Force Reaches

Total biusincss in force reached 31.671.000.000 at the end of the Great-West Liife's most. successful year, H. W. Manning, vioe-prcai- dent and managing director. an- nounced in his report to the Com- pany's fifty-nintih annual meeting in Winnipei. on Feb. 0.

Record new business of 3250.000,- 000 was placed during the year and asets grew to s3tl5.000.000. More than 470,000 policyholders in Can- ada and United States are now served by the Company.

"The past, year was an extreme- ly satisfactory one," Mr. Manning said, "because of the continued favorable mortality, the moderate improvement in the gross rate of interest, and the fact that our ex- penises were restrained in a period of rapidly rising costs."

During 1950 more than 328,000.- 000 was distributed in benefits to policyihcilders and benediciaries. This is the largest sum ever paid out in a single year. The major- ity ot these funds went. to living policyholders in the form of re- ttirement income, matured endow- ments, and disability benefits. in .addiiion. a fu.rither 323,000,000 was added to the reserves for future payincnts to policyholders and bcnoiiciarics.

Mr. Manning declared that the Com.p'.iny's group operations ex- pcrienccd a marked exipansion. New group business of 083,000,000 was at an all-time high and was eight iimcs the figure of five years ago. in commenting upon the growth of group business in force, ivhicih is now 5349,000.000, Mr. Manning said. "Although welfare .plans have long been recognized ias an integral part of sound em- iploycr-cmpioycc relations. it is ionly recently that they have as- sumed major importance in union- management. negotiations."

The Company's assets increased 027,000,000 and totalled 0385.000.- 000 at the end of the year. A ten- t-u-rc oi the i-nvcstmcnt policy of iilic past five years has been to incrca.-tc the nirmiber and amount of city mortgages and corporate securities. and they now form 50 per cent of total assets.
