Chattfield Bruce,, In China buying goods for an American firm, is impresses
by the conduct of Wong Lee, a pirate, who plys his occupation solely for the
purpose of giving to the poor the rice and treasures he steels from the rich.
Bnice mentally likens Wong Lee to Robin Hood and greatly admires his pe-
culiar style of philanthropy.

ainst theinch ship owner, Fong Wo Chong. The merchant offers a reward for
the pirates apprehension and Caglioni, one of Wong Lee's henchmen, be-
trays his master. Bruce discovers the fuct in time to notify Wong Lee and, in
Rratitode, the pirate jpves the American a ring: of peculiar design, guaranteed
*2? weaper the allegiance of Chinamen in any part of the world.
When Broce returns to America, he resums his position in Mod society and
becomes noted for his generosity to the poor and needy. He is reputed to re-
Mivo lanu innsimAo /mm kia 1 . X'x n * . ....
d Mr Ttj j * «■ " . oai in reaniy Bruce lias adopted the
Robin Hood and Wong Lee's method of equalizing the wealth of the world.
Wong Lee b son comes to New York and opens a store in Chinatown, as the
base of operations for Brace's activities.
To provide himself with an occupation that will give him a wider scope for
his practicing his pecuUar style of philanthropy, Bruce retains his position
with Nathan Goldberg, a merchant whose social aspirations particularly for
his daughter. Marjorie Woods, a school mate of Miss Goldberg's arrives from
Kurope with Sir Archibald Bamford, a bankrupt nobleman, following closely
in her wake, his eye upon the fortune Miss Woods is reputed to possess.
Goldberg has purchased for his daughter a string of pearls notorious for
their great value, and to give the pearls an outing and at the same time allow
Miss Goldberg to properly welcome home her friend Marjorie, there is ar-
ranged a great lawn party to which the Goldbergs invite everybody listed in
the social register. Goldberg hires detectives to guard the pearls. Unknown to
liruce the betrayer of Wong Lee has come to America and Caglioni is now a
member of the local detective force and in charge of the arrangements for
protecting the Goldberg pearls.
Bruce had arranged that Wong heels son should act as one of the waiters
at the garden party. At an opportune time Bruce gets the Goldberg pearls in-
to hiH :;inds, and clumsily drops them to the ground when in picking them
up, tne young Chinaman cleverly substitutes worthless imitations for the
string of expensive pearls and slips the real things into his capacious sleeve.
The Goldberg pearls were intended to be subsequently disposed of through
the Chinaman's source of distribution, Bruce to use the proceeds to build a
hospital for the infirm and afflicted poor.
Bruce and Marjorie have been invited to spend the night at Goldberg's. The :
modern Robin Hood is restless, and wanders into the Goldberg drawing room
in time to witness theburglary of the wail safe where Goldberg had deposited
the spurious pearls for safe keeping. Caglioni, as later develops, is concerned
in the burglary and has, also, recognized Bruce as the man who, in China,
wanted Wong Lee of his danger.

There's no reason why a person

Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
