I knew she wouldn't believe me but I went through the details of my story. She stared at me all the while, save for one moment when she straightened her long flowing Chinese robe. It was a black silk material whose only motif was a red and gold dragon emblazoned on her left shoulder. You lie. It was Soo Ming who sent you here, wasn't it '? He has discovered my whereabouts and has sent you to arrange his terms. It was slowly dawning on me just what sort of a nest I had blundered into. This was the Dragon Queen whose jewel and opium smuggling had baffled the police for years. I, I of all people, had discovered it, and knew only too well what my curiosity would do to me. Wasn't it just last week that the almost unrecognizable body of a NEWS peddler had been discovered along the water front, his forehead bear- ing the mark of the red and gold dragon? Just then I heard the rumble of a motor car in the courtyard, and a gleam of hope passed through my mind, but it was of no avail. In very few minutes another Ori- ental appeared at the door. He was short and yellow, with sleek black hair. They exchanged a few words in their native tongue, and before I knew it he was leading me along the corridor. We went along a broad carpeted passage, through an oak door, down a narrow flight of stairs, and so to another door. The door was opened and closed, a lock clicked and I was on the inside, a prisoner of my own curiosity. It was here that he left me, and it is here that I am now writing feverishly, hoping that someone will find this account and rescue me. Footsteps are returning . . . . at least I tried.

One bright November afternoon when a football game was in pro- gress, as the Prof. was strolling across Victoria Park, unconscious of the danger that menaced him, a line plunge was made in his direc- tion. When the steam shovel and excavating crew had succeeded in removing Prof. Noots' remains from the gridiron, he was rushed to the hospital, Where he lay in an oxygen tent for six months. At last his strength returned and, with the first breath he drew, he swore to expose to the world the pitfalls and dangers of the game of foot- ball. According to the Professor, and I quote: Football is a highly or- ganized fracas in which two groups of eleven men fight for sixty min- utes for possession of an inliatec, bag. When one player succeeds in gaining possession of it he is promptly born to the ground and kicked, mangled, strangled and suffocated into submission. At intervals, continues I. B., a play- er steps back and proceeds to try and kick the teeth out of the op- posing players near him. Period- ically a bruised and battered war- rior is carried out of the fray to the cheers of the assembled multi- tude. After thirty minutes the teams drag themselves off the field for a rest while the coaches make a speech on better methods of mak- ing the enemy into undertakers' clients. At the end of the game the crowd files out of the stadium. com- plaining because of the few corpses produced by the afternoon's fray.
